In a hard fought closely contested game which was marked by just a few home runs (most of them made during the game) Anaheim out maneuvered the visitors for a position on the score board. "We dread telling you the final score," said one member of the 20-30's.

Rotarians Urge Highway Signs PETITION OF OIL MEN ASKING FOR CHANGE IN FIRE LAW IS DENIED Old Times and Many Pictures of "Class Days" Enjoyed During Meeting The city council at a meeting held Tuesday night failed to see the need for a change in the ordinance No. 542, section 15, which controls the size of a tank wagon. The section of the ordinance which the oil distributors wanted changed reads as follows: Ordinance 542. Sec. 15—Tanks up to and including six hundred (600) gallon capacity may be of single compartment type; those in excess of this capacity shall be divided into compartments none of which shall exceed 600 gallons. In talking against the proposed change Chief Nyboe stated that the ordinance had the approval of not only the dealers but the insurance underwriters as well. The dealers maintained that at the time the ordinance was passed in 1930 it was believed alright, but since that time the new equipment of the companies had been increased forcing them to use their country equipment within the city limits. Finally after some pleading and what not the dusty feline escaped from the burlap enclosure and the score turns out to be 24 to 8... no dear reader it was not a football game nor a track meet... it was a baseball game. Rotarians Urge Highway Signs For Fair Travel Members of Orange County Council of Rotary clubs are strongly in favor of erecting signs extending a welcome to Orange county and depicting its attractions for the benefit of San Diego exposition visitors this summer, it was indicated at a meeting of the County Council of Rotary clubs held Thursday night at the Doris-Kathryn Tea Shoppe, Santa Ana. No action was taken, but it was understood the club representatives present would individually urge chambers of commerce and other civic bodies to take all possible action to benefit the county from millions of exposition visitors. The exposition attraction, which is expected to draw 5,000,000 visitors offers Orange county an unequalled opportunity for favorable publicity, it was declared. The great extent of anticipated travel to Southern California was told by E. B. Sharpley, local Southern Pacific agent, who declared the prospects are for the greatest tourist influx since 1915. Plans were made at the gathering for a big get-together of Orange county Rotarians and their wives, to be held at Laguna Beach on Friday, June 28, in connection with the beach city's arts carnival, with Frank Hecener, president of the Laguna Beach club, in charge of arrangements.

In talking against the proposed change Chief Nyboe stated that the ordinance had the approval of not only the dealers but the insurance underwriters as well. The dealers maintained that at the time the ordinance was passed in 1930 it was believed alright, but since that time the new equipment of the companies had been increased forcing them to use their country equipment within the city limits. The council members, however, believed there was insufficient reason for a change and the ordinance will remain as is. B. & P. W. Club Hears Discussion Of Modern Books Maintaining that reading was one of the most important things of life Mrs. Mabel F. Faulkner, librarian of Orange addressed the Anaheim unit of the Business and Professional Women's club last Thursday night. "Those who do not read certainly miss something," she said. In many people this gift lies dormant though the depression has taught many people that reading was indeed valuable. "Those who were unable to read certain books in youth were cheated. For instance, those who in their adult year have read Alice in Wonderland have come to realize the underlying philosophy and wit so evident. With the exception of that book there were few books written for children during that age. At the present time we have no books that compare with Robinson Crusoe, Gullivers' Travels, Dickens, etc. Most of the books today are written from the angle of modernity," she concluded. Mabel Dixon, president of the club urged the members to read "Vital Speeches" which is published every month and contains the outstanding speeches of the month. The Broadway School Trio was introduced by Miss Margaret Smith, music chairman and they entertained with Spanish music and dances. The trio was accompanied by Rubie Sanchez.
