THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 65th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXV CENTRALIA FACES NEW PROBLEM AS PETITIONS DENIED Supervisors Turn Down Plans For Annexation to Three Adjoining Districts What to do or what not to do—that is the problem for the school board and residents of the Centralia district to solve within the coming year. Members of the district appeared before the board of supervisors last Tuesday in connection with three petitions asking severance and annexation to adjoining and larger districts, arguing the feasibility of splitting the district into several parts or of reconstructing the present school building with SERA labor and continuing with the school district. Upon recommendation of County Superintendent of Schools Ray Adkinson, and upon motion of Third District Supervisor LeRoy Lyon, the board of supervisors denied the petitions and told the sponsors that if next year they still wanted to annex to adjoining territories to begin their action sooner in order, to give the board of supervisors more time in which to study the propositions. As it is, the board would have had to act upon the petitions this week in order to get annexation pro- Public Enemies, 1 and 2 CITY SEEKS AS FIRST BILLION Councilmen and Colony More A Made for Impulse The Mother Colony city with the beautiful men and civile leaders This was indicated Funeral Service On Wednesday Matthew Local Man and Full Killed in Auto Sunday Mo Scores of friends attended the funeral noon of Matthew C. this city, who was killed mobile accident at North Los Angeles and Upon recommendation of County Superintendent of Schools Ray Adkinson, and upon motion of Third District Supervisor LeRoy Lyon, the board of supervisors denied the petitions and told the sponsors that if next year they still wanted to annex to adjoining territories to begin their action sooner in order to give the board of supervisors more time in which to study the propositions. As it is, the board would have had to act upon the petitions this week in order to get annexation proceedings completed in time to include them in assessments to be made next March. The petitions were recently turned in, and members of the board felt they had not had time to give the matter thorough consideration. Supervisors were told by persons at the meeting that the Centralia school board was attempting to work out its problems. There was considerable discussion about the cost of rebuilding and maintaining the school as before. Objections to annexation and to re-building were based mostly upon probable costs. Persons wishing to hold the district together claimed that re-building of the school would be cheapest, especially since the district has an opportunity to secure SERA labor. Those opposing rebuilding and proposing annexation argue that the district is small, that rebuilding would be more costly than annexation, and that taxes would be less if their property were included in a larger school district. C. H. Lawrence To Succeed Trueblood Charles H. Lawrence, who has been associated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange for the last 12 years, this week is getting accustomed to routine at the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange and on February 15 will take over the duties held by Stanley Trueblood since organization of the exchange three years ago, according to announcement by Manager A.

Mr. Lawrence during the past year has had charge of sales of loose fruit fro m the Riverside-Corona district.

Lowry of Redlands, who was making a left turn. Heinze was thrown from the Runstrom machine, and was run over by the Lowry automobile. He was taken to the county hospital for emergency treatment. Attendants and relatives spoke hopefully of a rapid recovery for the youth, who was graduated from local schools and is well known in the city. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Heinze, with whom he lives. His sister, Miss Freda Heinze, is an instructor at George Washington school.

This was indicated at an informal meeting of the board of trustees Tuesday evening, when plans were laid to be among the first cities of the state to have an acceptable program before the federal public works administration when spending of the four billion dollars asked for by President Roosevelt begins. Because the administration has announced it intends to concentrate more upon productive public works, the type of improvements the city can plan is limited to practical time-saving, lifesaving or otherwise extremely useful projects. Under this category, the councilmen decided that Anaheim first would seek a new fire station, probably to be built on the city-owned lot at Los Angeles and Broadway, where the department would be centrally located for any emergency. Another project receiving favorable attention from the councilmen Funeral Services On Wednesday for Matthew Betzsold Local Man and Fullerton Woman Killed in Auto Accident Sunday Morning Scores of friends and relatives attended the funeral Wednesday afternoon of Matthew C. Betzsold, 32, of this city, who was killed in an automobile accident at the junction of North Los Angeles and Palm streets at Anaheim. Local Man and Fullerton Woman Killed in Auto Accident Sunday Morning Scores of friends and relatives attended the funeral Wednesday afternoon of Matthew C. Betzsold, 32, of this city, who was killed in an automobile accident at the junction of North Los Angeles and Palm streets at 2 a.m. Sunday. Final rites were held from the Backs, Terry and Campbell parlors with Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter of the Calvary Baptist church officiating. Burial followed at the Anaheim Cemetery. Mr. Betzsold and Miss Katherine Hearn, 27, of Route 3, Box 550, Fullerton, were instantly killed when the machine in which they were riding failed to make the turn and crashed into a telephone pole. Driver of the machine was Mrs. Mable G. Kerin of 251 South Lemon street, Anaheim. Peter Szikszay, 29, of 414 East Chartres street, was the fourth occupant of the car. Mrs. Kerin was treated at the Anaheim Sanitarium for slight injuries and then taken to her home, while Szikszay was taken to the county hospital where attendants report his condition is serious. He suffered a broken shoulder, fractured ribs and other injuries. Mr. Betzsold, single, lived with his mother, Mrs. Mary Betzsold of 328 South Philadelphia street. He leaves, besides his mother, a brother, George Betzsold of 702 North Lemon street; and three sisters, Edna Betzsold and Mrs. Mae Gorham of Anaheim, and Alice Betzsold of Seligman, Arizona. He was graduated from the Anaheim union high school about 12 years ago. Miss Hearn lived with her brother David L. Hearn of Fullerton. Besides this brother, she is survived by her father, Mark M. Hearn of Brunett, Texas, and two other brothers, Roger M. Hearn of Santa Ana, and Benjamin H. Hearn of Olive View, California. According to police officers who investigated the accident, the automobile evidently struck an iron flange, causing it to careen into a telephone pole about 40 feet away. The girl was thrown from the automobile about 45 feet from the pole, and the young man was evidently thrown from the car about 20 feet farther on, the machine stopping 225 feet away in the golf driving course. Mrs. Betzsold, mother, operates the Betzsold Photo Studios at 110 East Center street. The son worked for the Anaheim Trunk and Transfer company more upon productive public works, the type of improvements the city can plan is limited to practical time-saving, lifesaving or otherwise extremely useful projects. Under this category, the councilmen decided that Anaheim first would seek a new fire station, probably to be built on the city-owned lot at Los Angeles and Broadway, where the department would be centrally located for any emergency. Another project receiving favorable attention from the councilmen is to extend the city water mains for eventual connection with the metropolitan water district aqueduct, from which this city will get its culinary water. This proposal is similar to the electrical proposal last year, when Anaheim was the first city in California and one of the first in the nation to get an approval on its project. This work was done at a cost of more than $80,000, 30 per cent of which was paid out of the federal treasury. Dr. Walter Bigham, chairman of the city planning commission, and others interested in the development of civic projects, attended the session. Dr. Bigham spoke favorably upon plans to create a playground in the north end of the city, where Mexican children would be induced to play, and mentioned the need for a civic auditorium, possibly to be erected in the city park. This, however, met with objections because the Anaheim union high school is building an elaborate auditorium which will be available for civic programs. About 30 different projects were mentioned, most of them casually since attention was paid to more practical suggestions. Among some of the projects mentioned were a proposal to build a golf course; move and beautify the Mexican district north of La Palma and east of Los Angeles and the No. 101 highway; cover the open-air theater in the city park; build underpasses at the railroad tracks on East Center and at La Palma; build a subway for students under Palm street at the Horace Mann school; and various repairs to curbs and sidewalks. Among those present who declared themselves in favor of projects which would add to the intrinsic value of the city was Councilman Leo Sheridan, who advocated "projects which will make this city more distinctive." If we continue in the same way, the same old paths as other cities, we will not have anything unusual to attract people to Anaheim. What we really need are projects that appeal to the aesthetic taste of desirable residents. Most places, in my opinion, work just backwards in promoting their city. It seems to me that instead of rushing hither and thereafter home, built an auto-house, given permission to park it on the campus closets, two beds, and a stove are in the vertible and making the quarters quite cohesive with the son of Editor George Goodman of the 4 Water District Directors Picked For 4-Year Terms Board Will Re-organize Next Wednesday; Warner Looms As Chairman Choice Four re-elected directors and three-hold-over directors of the Orange county water district will meet next Wednesday to reorganize, appoint committees and proceed along previously announced three-fold purposes of reclaiming sewage waters, studying the feasibility of obtaining surplus waters from the Mojave river area, and obtaining surplus water for irrigation purposes from the three member cities in the metropolitan water district. Re-election on Tuesday of the four directors for four-year terms was practically unanimous. There was no active opposition to any director, although there were three write-ins each getting a small number of votes. William T. Wallop of Placentia was re-elected without opposition from district No. 3, comprising the area east of Anaheim and Fullerton, C.A. Palmer of Olive, in district No. 2, had the most opposition, amounting to two names being written in each getting less than 100 votes, the totals amounting to practically no opposition. Willis Warner of Huntington Beach, district No. 6, faced one write-in, the latter getting 50 votes out of 30,000 cast. Other director re-elected was William Schumacher of Buena Park in district No. 4. Directors W.C. Mauerhan of district No. 1, southwest of Anaheim; C.Roy Browning of Irvine, district No. 5; and Frank Champion of Laguna Beach, district No. 7, will come up for re-election in 1937. Observers this week were led to believe that Willis Warner, who was named chairman of the board when it organized soon after its formation and election of directors two years ago, would be re-named chairman next Wednesday. 7th Military Ball On February 32nd estigated the accident, the automobile evidently struck an iron flange, causing it to caren into a telephone pole about 40 feet away. The girl was thrown from the automobile about 45 feet from the pole, and the young man was evidently thrown from the car about 20 feet farther on, the machine stopping 225 feet away in the golf driving course. Mrs. Betzsold, mother, operates the Betzsold Photo Studios at 110 East Center street. The son worked for the Anaheim Truck and Transfer company. Funeral services for Miss Hearn were held Thursday afternoon from Backs, Terry and Campbell parlors, with Rev. Scott O. McFarland of Santa Ana in charge. Interment followed at Olive Wood cemetery, Riverside. Earl Fulfer Looms As Legion’s Chief Members of Anaheim’s post, American Legion, this week studied over the problem of electing a new commander at the meeting on February 18, following resignation at Monday night’s meeting of Dr. John E. Waters, who quits March 1 to open dental offices at Coronado. Concensus of opinion among members present at the meeting indicated that First Vice Commander Earl Fulfer probably would be chosen to succeed Dr. Waters. Twenty-Thirtians Hear Two Speakers Twenty-Thirtians Monday evening heard Dr. H. D. Newkirk talk on eye disorders and corrective measures, and Charles F. Sill of Los Angeles talk on stock and bonds, as a result of a program arranged by Louis Wright and Phil Bastian. Members of the club, as a result of plans completed at the meeting, will take part in district five meeting to be held in Riverside on Sunday. Growing Pains” Is Title of Comedy to Be Given by Class Juniors of the Anaheim union high school decided to stage “Growing Pains” for the annual play and tentatively set March 5 and 6 as presentation dates at the Anaheim theater. Cast for the Aurania Rouveral comedy was chosen last week and Monday began practicing under the direction of Mrs. Faye Kern Schulz for the event. Members of the cast include: Helen Hopkins, Jimnie Morris, Harriet Riley, Jerry Nesmith, Shirley Llewellyn, Housten Kier, Doris Berger, Elaine Anthony, Katherine Collins, Yvonne Howell, Helen Tobin, Lucille Shaver, Howard Lukens, Art Schwarting, Lloyd Fitzpatrick, Naomi Carlln, Bill Klapper and Elwyn Burns. REPORT CLIPPERS STOLEN A pair of clippers valued at $10 is reported stolen, probably Sunday night, from the Biltmore Beauty Shop, on West Center street. Frank Champion of Laguna Beach, district No. 7, will come up for re-election in 1937. Observers this week were led to believe that Willis Warner, who was named chairman of the board when it organized soon after its formation and election of directors two years ago, would be re-named chairman next Wednesday. 7th Military Ball On February 22nd Is Benefit Affair Anaheim members of the citizens committee appointed by the Jack Fisher chapter, Disabled American Veterans of the World war, report an exceptionally good sale for tickets to the seventh annual military ball to be given February 22 at the Valencia ballroom, on No. 101 highway between this city and Santa Ana. Funds derived from the dance, according to the committee members, will be used for the organization, rehabilitation and welfare of all disabled veterans of the World war in Orange county. Members of the committee include Mrs. Harry D. Ackerman, Mrs. Jack Korn, Mrs. John Kemper, Lotus H. Loudon and Harry Arthur sr.

STORMS ADDS 1.77 INCHES AS RAIN TOTAL NEARS 16 Jupiter Pluvius Keeps Local Residents Under Umbrellas for Most of Week Wily old Jupiter Pluvius, who can be depended upon to be undependable, kept Anaheimers wearing slickers or carrying umbrellas most of this week. Last Monday Jupit decided that the local landscape needed a little moistening-up and turned on the invisible faucets till the Anaheim Union Water company's guages registered .18 of an inch. The next day the God or Rain let loose some real torrents, and when the 24 hours had passed the water company's guages indicated 1.19 inches of rain had fallen. Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock the same guages showed .05 of an inch, and then about noon the same day there was a brisk shower resulting in measurements on Thursday morning of .44 of an inch. Very little rain fell during Wednesday night. Local residents, accustomed to three days of grey skys, brightened up when the sun poked his head through the clouds Wednesday morning, and many centured forth without adequate rain protection. About an hour later Jupiter Pluvius decided to be undependable District Picks New Terms Organize Next Farner Looms Man Choice Directors and three of the Orange council meet next Wednesday, appoint committees previously an purposes of reclaim-studying the feas-urplus waters from area, and obtaining irrigation purposes under cities in the district.

Newel Mitchell, Local Pioneer Dies Wednesday Veteran Stage Driver Succumbs at San Diego Following Injuries From Fall Newel H. Mitchell, 90-year-old Anaheim pioneer who was injured on January 23 when he fell on a staircase in his granddaughter's home, died Wednesday, February 6, at the Mercy hospital, San Diego, according to word received by local friends Thursday. He is survived by his widow; one son, Willis S. Mitchell, Los Angeles attorney; and one daughter, Mrs. Blanche Little. Mr. Mitchell, who operated a stage between Anaheim and Wilmington in the '70's and who drove the stage that took Helen Hunt Jackson to inland reservations when she gathered information which resulted in her novel "Ramona", has lived for many years at Redlands. No word of funeral arrangements was received here before press time Thursday. Newel H. Mitchell, 90-year-old pioneer who arrived in Anaheim in 1868, is in a serious condition at the Mercy hospital, San Diego, as a result of a fractured hip he received in an accidental fall January 23, while visiting his granddaughter, Mrs.' R. M. Scriggs, wife of Lieutenant R. M. Scruggs, U. S. navy. Mr. Mitchell, according to information received from his son, Attorney Willis S. Mitchell of Los Angeles, went to visit Mrs. Scriggs, the daughter of Willis Mitchell, last month, and slipped on a staircase, breaking his left hip. He now is attended by three nurses, Mrs. Mitchell and their daughter, Blanche, are with the injured pioneer. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell have resided in Redlands for many years, although they own considerable property in Anaheim, and are well known by old timers here. Seven years after his arrival in Anaheim, Mr. Mitchell hooked up a span of horses and drove to Wilmington, there to get Mrs. Mitchell, who arrived from San Francisco in 1875. Local residents, accustomed to three days of grey skys, brightened up when the sun poked his head through the clouds Wednesday morning, and many centured forth without adequate rain protection. About an hour later Jupiter Pluvius decided to be undependable again, and sent scores of people scurrying under awnings and inside stores to escape an assault on newly-pressed clothes. Total rainfall for the storm till Thursday at 8 a.m., was 1.77 inches bringing the total for the season to 15.90 inches. Rainfall so far this year in most parts of northern Orange county has been fairly even. At Brea, for instance, the total on Wednesday had reached 14.55 inches; at Bueha Park, 15.42 inches; at Fullerton, 15.97 inches; at La Habra, 17.03 inches; at Placentia, 14.77 inches, and at Yorba Linda, 15.31 inches. Last year the rainfall to this date was about half the total so far this year, and at the end of the season was not much more than shown at this time of the year. La Habra has a little more than an inch more rainfall so far this year than most of her neighbor cities, and last year led the procession at this season with 10.92 inches, or from two to three inches more than nearby communities. Constable Finds Child In Orchard A child's frightened cry, apparently coming from the orchard near his home, attracted the attention of Ed Marion just as he was motoring up his driveway last Friday evening. Investigating, he found a two-and-one-half-year-old boy entirely hidden by a huge cover crop of weeds. Taking the child in his arms, the constable went from door to door down Euclid avenue, inquiring to find the parents. A mile away from the place where he found the child he located Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Stoffel, who were surprised that their child had wandered so far from home. Mrs. Stoffel said she thought the boy had gone across the street to play with other children more than an hour before.

Mrs. Mitchell and their daughter, Blanche, are with the injured pioneer. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell have resided in Redlands for many years, although they own considerable property in Anaheim, and are well known by old timers here. Seven years after his arrival in Anaheim, Mr. Mitchell hooked up a span of horses and drove to Wilmington, there to get Mrs. Mitchell, who arrived from San Francisco in 1875. Several old timers either recall the incident, or like Frank F. Ey Jr., of Santa Ana, remembers their parents speaking of the occasion. Supervisors Oppose New Highway Project On the grounds that the proposed state maintenance of all county highways would be a detriment to this county inasmuch as it would increase expenses to local residents, the board of supervisors Tuesday passed a resolution opposing passage of the measure by the legislature. The supervisors said the county can build roads $2500 cheaper per mile than the state; that the $60,000 of proposed gas funds that would be permitted the county under the new law would not meet the $139,000 interest and redemption charges on local bonds, the balance would have to be made up by direct tax on local property; that the county roads, being in good shape, would not receive the attention roads in other counties would, where a run-down condition exists. REPORTS GASOLINE THEFT Glen Merrill reported to police Wednesday that some gasoline was stolen from a truck at the Patten-Bilinn Lumber company over the week-end, and that, in his opinion, small amounts of lumber have been stolen on Sundays for several weeks past. AUTO IS RECOVERED J. A. Kester of 323 South Kroeger, who reported his automobile stolen Friday evening from East Center street, was delighted Sunday morning when police returned the machine to him. It was found in front of a restaurant on the state highway. NEW YORK ... Robert Moses (above), Park Commissioner here, has been put on the spot by Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department who ordered that all municipal officials must quit posts in which Federal funds are involved.
