While the percentage of the people receiving aid in the state for the same time was 7.4 per cent, the percentage of persons receiving aid in Orange county, according to the census of 1930, was 7.8, or .4 of a per cent more than for the state. These figures are announced by SERA Director of Research and Surveys N. Gregory Silvermaster. Orange county's population in 1930 was 118,674. In August there were 7,685, or 6.5 per cent, of this population receiving aid Two Million Boy and Girl “Hoboes” Cited as Problem Rotarians Urged to Adopt Motto of "Talk to a Boy Today" To Aid Situation "Talk to a boy today." This is the motto urged upon each member of the Rotary club Monday noon by Past District Governor Paul Reiger of Rotary, who spoke on "Rising Tide of Youth." Forty-five visitors were present at the meeting. Reiger pointed to the two million boys and girls who have turned "hoboes" to get adventure, when they found the normal paths to jobs and respectable community life follled by the depression. Upon graduation from high school and college, these boys and girls, the speaker declared, form "an iceberg, only one-eighth of which can While the percentage of the people receiving aid in the state for the same time was 7.4 per cent, the percentage of persons receiving aid in Orange county, according to the census of 1930, was 7.8, or .4 of a per cent more than for the state. These figures are announced by SERA Director of Research and Surveys N. Gregory Silvermaster. Orange county's population in 1930 was 118,674. In August there were 7,685, or 6.5 per cent, of this population receiving aid under SERA; in September 7,937 persons or 6.7 percent, received aid and in October the number had increased to 9,211 or 7.8 per cent. The reason Orange county's average is higher than the state as a whole, according to the official estimate, is because there is a relatively high percentage of migratory farm labor here. Contrasted with the situation in Orange (Continued on page 6) SPORTETTE BOSTON ...Mr. Thomas Yawkey, youthful president of the Boston Red Sox, was told that owning a major league baseball team was no piker game. He took them at their word and went out and closed a $250,000 deal with Washington to get Joe Cronin for his 1935 manager ... "Tie that!" says Mr. Yawkey. Scouts Enjoy Trip To Mountain Camp Scoutmaster Carl Schweiss and his Lions club troop No. 74 returned Sunday evening from a week-end spent at Blue Jay camp, near Lake Arrowhead. The boys enjoying toboganning, skating, skiing and ordinary "throwing snowballs" included John Jackson, Frank Taylor, Donald Waters, Lyle Jones, Charles Paxton, Leonard Sparks, Dick Morales, David, Bill and Frank Jones. Junior Olson and Billy Johnson. Reiger pointed to the two million boys and girls who have turned "hoboes" to get adventure, when they found the normal paths to jobs and respectable community life folled by the depression. Upon graduation from high school and college, these boys and girls, the speaker declared, form "an iceberg, only one-eighth of which can be seen. They form a restless emotional group easily appealed to by subversive elements. Many of them are going round the country, crying 'We want a dictator'." The speaker also warned his hearers to look to the university and college professor who has adopted the road to communism as a way to become known. Problems of radicalism and of youth, the latter being the greatest problem before the American people according to the speaker, can be solved best by home guidances. "When did you last discuss the great men who have made this county with your families at home? Not only should you pay attention to the problem in your own home, but you should lend an encouraging word to the boy on the street." He strongly urged those present to "talk to a boy today," and keep that as a motto for every day in the year as a method of combatting our new social evils.

Palmer and Willis Warner Up For Election On February 5 With No Apparent Opposition; Three Polling Places In District No. 3 Re-election of four out of seven directors of the Orange county water district, formed by vote of property-owners outside the three metropolitan water district member cities, on February 5 seemed assured Monday when no contestants filed against them in any of the four districts. Final date for petitions of nomination was January 21. The four directors will be chosen for a four-year term, and the remaining three directors' terms will end in 1937. This arrangement was necessitated when the district was formed a little more than a year ago, to give staggering terms for members of the board. William T. Wallop, superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water company who won a hotly contested race in the first election, has no announced opposition at the election a week from next Tuesday. His district comprises the citrus area surrounding Anaheim on the east and north, Placentia, Yorba Linda and adjacent areas. Other members of the board to stand for re-election, all without apparent opposition, are C. A. Palmer of Olive in district No. 2, William Schumacher of Buena Park in district No. 4, and Willis Warner of Huntington Beach in district No. 6.

SERA Allots $30,000 to Assure Completion of Project In Brea, Coyote Creeks This county's portion of drainage channels in Brea and Coyote creeks will be completed under a $30,000 labor project voted by SERA last week. Flood Control Engineer M. N. Thompson announces. Orange county is supplying $3,000 for supervision. Purpose of the channels, construction of which has been under way for approximately three years, is to relieve the entire north end of Orange county of excessive flood waters. The project was started under a joint agreement with Los Angeles county, which also is seeking relief from the same trouble. The channel extends four miles from Fullerton's city limits on the west across the Emery ranch, the northern end of Buena Park, the McComber ranch and meets Los Angeles county's work at about the KFI broadcasting station. The channel drains into San Gabriel river below Los Alamitos. Engineer Thompson estimates the channel work is half completed under SERA provisions, and will be continued with the same labor as now. The 40-foot channel when complete will have a capacity of 6000 second feet of water. Practically all the cost is in labor, consisting of building levees and excavation. Total SERA Relief During December In County Is Reported Out of a total of $6,688,794.40 spent by SERA for unemployment relief in California during December, Orange county spent a total of $188,200.48. This figure was revealed in SERA Auditor W. M. Sanborn's report, received Monday. Orange county's work relief called for an expenditure of $187,184.68 to hire 3,809 individuals, and on direct relief $1,015.80. An increase of $237,160.42 was shown for the state in December over November expenditures. Expects 400 Will Attend President’s Birthday Ball To Be Held At Elks’ Clubhouse Next Wednesday Evening Several hundred local residents, in hearty accord with the purposes of the "President's Ball", will sit down at the Anaheim Elks' clubhouse next Wednesday evening promptly at 8:30 o'clock where President Roosevelt's birthday will be held.

Expects 400 Will Attend President’s Birthday Ball To Be Held At Elks’ Clubhouse Next Wednesday Evening Several hundred local residents, in hearty accord with the purposes of the "President's Ball", will sit down at the Anaheim Elks' clubhouse next Wednesday evening promptly at 8:30 o'clock to hear President Roosevelt's birthday address, which begins a nation-wide celebration of the charity event. The address will be broadcast over a loudspeaker system especially arranged so that all who attend the local "birthday ball" will easily hear the president's voice. Following the address, there will be dancing, card playing, entertainment and refreshments, according to General Chairman John Morgan. One of the features will be the cutting of a huge birthday cake to be donated by the Home Bakery. The cake will be large enough to give 300 or more persons a portion. Speakers will include Mayor Charles H. Mann and Thomas L. McFadden, while Dr. H. A. Johnston will act as master of ceremonies. Tickets are selling rapidly at $1.50 a couple, or half that singly, according to Chairman Morgan, who points out that 70 per cent of the proceeds will be retained in Anaheim and apportioned to local charities, while the remaining 30 per cent will be sent to Washington, D. C., where it will go toward a fund to foster research of infantile paralysis. Last year the entire proceeds were sent to Washington to go with a fund for the Warm Springs, Georgia, institution where the president was treated successfully. More than a million dollars were raised as an endowment for the institution. This year Warm Springs, at its own request, does not get any of the money, all to be devoted to local charities and to intensive research. Distribution of Anaheim's share of the proceeds will be in the hands of Little Theresa McGinty (above) aged 6, of Brooklyn, N. Y., sent a nickel when President Roosevelt announced he would lend his birthday anniversary to a nation-wide party, proceeds to go toward aiding infantile paralysis victims all over the nation. the executive committee, constituted as follows: Mrs. C. A. Neighbors, Miss Dorothy Yungbluth, Dr. George A. Paige, Arthur M. Bradley, Dr. John E. Waters, Dr. Walter L. Bigham, Stanley Trueblood, Charles Bush, and E. E. Smith. Horace H. Benjamin is treasurer. "We confidently expect between 350 and 400 persons to attend the birthday ball this year," Morgan said this week. "Tickets are going exceptionally well, and all the committees report meeting with encouraging results." Morgan announced the following committees will have charge of special work for the affair: Hostesses: Mrs. Leonard Evans, chairman; Mesdames E. E. Smith, Nellie Harpster, George Paige, William Schumacher, H. H. Benjamin, H. D. Newkirk and Walter Ross. Cards: Mrs. Henry Adams, chairman; Mesdames Charles Harbeson, Melbourne A. Gauer, A. A.

TRUEBLOOD, for the past three years associated with the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange, has been unanimously elected secretary-manager of the Covina Fruit Exchange, and leaves February 15 to assume his new duties.

Mrs. Trueblood and the three children will remain at their residence, 809 North Palm street, until the second semester of ELECTRIC HEAT UNITS STUDIED BY HIGH SCHOOL May Install All-Electric Plant If Engineer's Report Shows Cost No Greater If Anaheim union high school can consume enough electricity in proposed heating plans for its new $275,000 one-unit plant to level out the "hollows" in the consumption curve for the city of Anaheim, arrangements may be made for the high school to install all-electric heating units. This information was revealed Tuesday night when the city council, in receipt of a letter from the high school board of trustees, referred the matter to City Electrician Vard W. Hannum, who is making a study of the prosposition and expects to make his report back to the city council about February 1. The question largely hinges on price of electricity. If the cost to the high school, on use of greater amount of juice, will decrease sufficiently to justify an installation of electric heating, the board of trustees appears inclined to lean toward this type of heating. The high school, it is pointed out, uses approximately $2400 for light and power under its present set up. Under a rate $50,000 Surplus Is Real Reason Why "Squeeze" Planned Manchester Extension Looms as Santa Ana Induced to Give Up Gas Tax Funds Further developments in the "squeeze play" of the state highway commission which forced Anaheim to relinquish $13,600, her share in the gasoline tax funds collected last year, was revealed this week when Chief District Engineer S. V. Cortelyou of the highway commission appeared before the Santa Ana City council and sought that group's support in extending Manchester avenue from Lincoln to Mirafores. The point around which the movement is swung is the "unexpected" $50,000 surplus of funds apportioned for development of the highway from Buena Park to Lincoln boulevard, west of this city. It appears now that the $50,000 would revert back to the state for other appropriations unless Anaheim and Santa Ana succeed in getting this money allotted to the extension of the boulevard beyond Lincoln. In this move, Cortelyou contended that Anaheim could not spend her share of the gasoline tax money without the state's approval. The council contended that the state could not spend the money with who is making a study of the prosposition and expects to make his report back to the city council about February 1. The question largely hinges on price of electricity. If the cost to the high school, on use of greater amount of juice, will decrease sufficiently to justify an installation of electric heating, the board of trustees appears inclined to lean toward this type of heating. The high school, it is pointed out, uses approximately $2400 for light and power under its present set-up. Under a rate it would receive with heating units, because of the greater consumption, the same light and power it now receives would cost but $1040, or a clear saving of $1360. It is paying approximately $1600 a year for gas heat, which, if electrical units were installed, would be eliminated. The question resolves itself down to whether the approximate $3,000 saving thus made would pay for the use of electrical heating of the plant. This is the problem Hannum and others are working on now. City Councilman Leo Sheridan points out other factors in the case affecting probable decision by the board of trustees. He states that electrical costs as paid by the city now are determined not by the Edison company, from which the city purchases its energy, but by the state railway commission. With development of Boulder dam power, this rate is expected to decrease. The city pays for its energy on a volume basis, similar to which it sells the electricity. An additional stand-by charge, because of peak load coming each evening, is made. Volume used by the city in the past has varied greatly. In summer months with pumping plants and packing houses going full tilt, the consumption has been considerably higher than during the winter months, although home use of electrical apparatus naturally increases at that time. This increase, however, has failed to keep pace with power used in the summer, causing a higher rate to be charged the city during the winter than during the summer. If the heating plant at the high school could take up a large share of this "hollow" curve, the city would receive a lower rate the year round on its electrical energy. In the meantime, the high school board is going ahead with tentative plans to use the approximately $80,000 it expects to receive under the PWA grant allocated to it on December 20. The board of trustees, upon the recommendation of Principal J. A. Clayes, approved tentative plans and sent its To Evening Leonard Evans, E. E. Smith, Nellie George A. Hodley, Dr. John E.

The following charge of special been constituted as Neighbors, Miss Dr. George A. Hodley, Dr. John E. Bigham, Stanley Bush, and E. E. Jamin is treasurer. It appears now that the $50,000 would revert back to the state for other appropriations unless Anaheim and Santa Ana succeed in getting this money allotted to the extension of the boulevard beyond Lincoln. In this move, Cortelyou contended that Anaheim could not spend her share of the gasoline tax money without the state's approval. The council contended that the state could not spend the money without the city's approval, but upon the advice of City Attorney George Holden the deadlocked issue was released when the council agreed to change its program, thus giving in to the state authorities. Now that Santa Ana also has been induced to ask for reappropriation of the surplus, perhaps enough will be secured to extend the highway and "save" the $50,000, according to local officials who are watching the by-play.
