Orange County Farm Bureau Is Jubilant as Wheeler Amendment Passed Farm Bureau officials and members were jubilant this week upon receipt of a telegram informing it that the United States senate had passed the Wheeler amendment to the farm credits act, lowering interest rates on federal land bank mortgages from 4½% to 3½% interest. About ten days ago the local farm organization telegraphed Senators Hiram Johnson and William G. McAdoo urging support of the Wheeler amendment. In that telegram Secretary Roland D. Flaherty of the Orange County Farm Bureau said, in part: "Many farm mortgages have not been refinanced and many crops still bringing less than production cost.

Elks Dinner-Dance Postponed to March Date for the big Elks club dinner-dance, originally scheduled for Wednesday of this week but postponed in order not to conflict with the military ball to be given Friday evening, had not been announced by press time Thursday. Manager John Morgan of the Elks club stated that all tickets sold for the big Elks club affair would be honored at the later date. "We believe that the two dances coming so close together could not but conflict, and that guests would be better satisfied if we should postpone our dance till March," Morgan declared. Bad News Spreads Rapidly As Scores of Tickets Cite Autoists Into Local Court Bad news spreads rapidly. Bad news in the form of tickets citing drivers to appear before Judge Frank Tausch to answer charges of reckless driving, speeding and other violations of the motor vehicle code were handed to scores of motorists this week, following Police Chief James S. Bouldin's announced "war" on fatal accidents at the fork of Los Angeles and Palm streets. "The boys are writing lots and lots of tickets," the police chief states "Already the news, and it's bad news, too, has spread around the county. Eventually we hope to have all of Southern California educated to the necessity of careful and proper driving at our most dangerous intersection." Several persons have been killed at this intersection in recent weeks and we are determined to halt these needless deaths." Citing offenders to answer grave charges, however, isn't the only means being employed to stop the accidents. Hugh letters, 15 feet high, warn drivers to go "slow" as they approach the fork, and the highway is being properly and adequately posted on both sides. In addition, a blinker is planned to give warning at night. One youth was arrested last week "making" 75 miles an hour on North Los Angeles street. Judge Homer Ames restricted the lad's license for three months, permitting him to use his car only for going to and from school and his work.

LIES, Representing 6,504 Now Belong to 22 Self-Help Cooperatives In Orange County of Self-Helps in United States Are Located in Local Groups Participate in Inter-Unit Activities, Opening Up New Field Cooperatives in Orange county number 22, representing 6,504 allies, according to statistics released this week by SERA N. Gregory Silvermaster. All known co-operatives in rating under federal grants, but are organized into four in membership federal units of Los Angeles county. Dr. Silvermaster estimates that more than one-half of the self-help groups in the United States are located in California, with Southern California having practically all of them. Los Angeles county, with five times the number of unemployed, has only twice the number of federal grant co-operatives in this county. In October there were 75 federal grant co-operatives in the state, with 131 non-grant organizations, making a total of 206, or more than half of all known co-operatives in the United States. Reason for the great number of cooperatives in California, Dr. Silvermaster believes, is because of the favorable climate. The associations of cooperatives in Orange and Los Angeles counties are federations of independent, autonomous co-operatives, having as their functions the handling of large TED CRAIG PAID HIGH TRIBUTES AT BIG DINNER 250 Prominent Civic Leaders Attend Banquet Tuesday Night at Brea Friends and well-wishers paid tribute to Speaker Edward (Ted) Craig of the California assembly Tuesday night at a dinner at the Brea-Olinda union high school cafeteria.

Life of Sheriff Jackson Just One Suit After Another; New One Seeking $30,000 The life of Sheriff Logan Jackson has been one damage suit after another. While he and his deputies were in superior court defending themselves in one suit last Tuesday, they were made defendants in another. They were on the stand and hearing testimony in regards to a $26,000 case brought by Zoe Stephens of Laguna Beach, when Harry M. and Walter T. Kinslow of Santa Ana marched in and filed another, seeking $30,000 damages. The case heard Tuesday involved a claim of false arrest, Judge Benjamin F. Warmer of San Bernardino, presiding at the Stephens case trial, granted a non-suit motion on the liability of Chief Criminal Deputy Sheriff Merle Dean. The new suit, however, involves the seizure of property. According to the complaint, Sheriff Jackson, on March 27, 1934, levied a superior court execution against property owned by the Kinslow brothers, which they value at $30,000. The First National Bank of Santa Ana oroginally brought the suit against Leonora E. Kinslow. On April 12 the Kinslow brothers filed a third party claim with Sheriff Jackson. The complaint charges that the bank gave the sheriff no undertaking to prevent release of the property, but the sheriff did not release it. On May 21, he sold the property to the bank. Plaintiffs claim they have been deprived of $30,000 worth of property without due process of law.
