On the truck with her was her nephew M. Ramos, 16. Ramos was seriously hurt about the body. Mrs. Perez was cut about the arm and suffered contrusions about the body, it was reported. Both are in the county hospital. State police, making an investigation reported there were no boulevard stop signs at the intersection and that in their opinion the drivers of both cars were under the impression they had the right-of-way. Gordon has been a resident of Anaheim for a number of years. He leaves a widow, Jeannette M. Gordon. His death is the 37th in Orange county this year, caused from automobile accidents. Atwood Man Charged With Manslaughter In a surprise arrest, Joe Morales of Atwood was taken into custody and lodged in the county jail last Monday, in connection with the death of R. G. Gordon of Anaheim, who was killed in a truck crash Saturday. The arrest came as a complete surprise as the state officers reported that the truck involved with the Gordon machine was driven by Mrs. Rita Perez of Atwood. Peace Officers of Orange County in Erie at Peach The past, present and the future of the Townsend Old Age Pension Plan will be the chief theme of Mr. McGroarty's address.

Lions Hear Of City Utilities Vard Hannum, city electrician, was the principal speaker at the meeting of the Lions Club Friday at which time he reviewed Anaheim's public utilities since the early days. Hannum traced the development of the use of water since the 5th and 6th centuries, telling of the lead taken by the city of Rome all through the ages. Rome is still ahead of the other cities in water development, he said. The methods now used are all based on the original pumping principles discovered centuries ago, he said, with pumps, canals, water wheels, and other meansf or transporting and lifting water, used for years. Anaheim's system dates back to about 1880. The early settlers got water at about-18 feet, he said. The first water plant was located on Cypress between lemon and Los Angeles, and netted an income of $750 a year to the city. Now the water department nets $224,800 a year. The present water level is 144 feet 3 inches. There are 23 employees in the water, light and power department. Mr. Hannum showed the increase and decrease in the water level, saying that this summer would see it go lower than ever before, he thought. The city has 44 miles of electric line, five wells, and 50 miles of water lines. It pumps an average of 5000 gallons per minute. Mr. Hannum expressed the danger felt by the community that the barrier between Anaheim and the ocean would not be strong enough eventually to keep the salt water from coming in when the present water level lowers that much. Bill Payne reported on "Golf day." Marc Goodnow, of the U.S.C. School of Journalism, and Dave Bran, of the Auto club at Fullerton, were introduced as visitors. Roy Mendoza, Floyd Snyder, Reginald Taylor, S.F.Hilgenfeld and Charles Walker gave brief talks on the things from which they derer the impression they had the right-of-way. The arrest came as a complete surprise as the state officers reported that the truck involved with the Gordon machine was driven by Mrs. Rita Perez of Atwood. Peace Officers of Orange County in Frolic at Beach Approximately 100 peace officers of Orange county and their wives and families attended the August meeting of the Orange County Peace Officer's association at Huntington Beach Wednesday night, refraining from business and giving the entire evening over to entertainment. First, officers met at the Huntington Beach plungefl where they had a swim before dinner was served at 7:30 p.m. in the Huntington Beach auditorium, served by the women of the First Christian church. Here they were welcomed to the city by Mayor Tom Talbert and entertainment was given by William Randolph Stone, planist. Several songs were rendered by Gene Baldwin, concert singer. Following the dinner, dancing was enjoyed, the officers party being joined by a large number of Huntington Beach residents. First Complaint Is Made to Board The first complaint against city tax assessments to have been made before the board of equalization in three years was registered when the board met Monday by Frederick W. Waite, 501 East Wilhelmina, who asked that the improvements on his property be reduced $500 in assessed valuation. He was also prepared to ask a reduction of property assessment but was shown by the board that his property was assessed at $150 in accordance with the assessment of adjoining property. The improvements were assessed at $930, half the actual value of $1860. Waite wants the actual value to be considered at $860, cutting the assessed valuation to $430 or $500 less than previously assessed. Two other landowners appeared before the board but decided against registering complaints after consulting with the board. Buena Park Plans Reception, Minister The Rev. and Mrs. F. Stanley Powles, of Buena Park Congregational church pastor and wife, who have been visiting Powles' mother in Wisconsin, are to be given a reception by church members and their friends following their return to Buena Park soon. The affair will be sponsored by the Ladies’ Aid in conjunction with other organizations of the church. Representing the women will be Mrs. J. F. Wagg, Mrs. George Cole and Mrs. Fred Law. August 24 has been selected by the finance section as the date for the next cooked food sale. The sale will be held under the direction of Mrs. G. S. Davis. Miss Ramona Salzar, of Los Angeles, Congregational church conference missionary at the Guadalapara station, was the speaker at the recent Aid program presented by Mrs. A. L. Gellegher. Mrs. E. P. Mann, Mrs. J. H. Page and Mrs. Etta Umbarger were hostesses at the preceding covered dish luncheon. Garden Grove Man Is Held Oscar Bruskey, Garden Grove nurseryman charged with two counts of perjury, because he allegedly misrepresented himself as being without a bank account when in court on alimony hearings, only to have a $1300 bankroll stolen from his pocket shortly afterwards, will be arraigned August 16, it was ordered when formal information of the charges was filed with the court Friday. Rotarians leaders speak on projects which they were urged to support. George Reid, as chairman, introduced the speakers and explained that Rotary's sponsorship of worthy community projects is one of the most necessary objects of the club. In a desire to get the co-operation of the club in sponsoring the work of the city and county planning commissions, Dr. Walter Bigham, president of both organizations, spoke on the road plan for the city, as thought most beneficial by the planners. He said that Anaheim would reap the most benefit from establishing its through roads on the edge of town, allowing easy access to the business section yet leaving it unmolested by through traffic so that it will be more convenient for shoppers to park and drive about. He said that Manchester is ideally located and that another development should be La Palma street, which may some day connect the Imperial Valley truck traffic directly with the Los Angeles harbor. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood spoke on the need for drainage construction and Dr. H. A. Johnston talked on the 19-mile Orange Empire Scenic drive which will take visitors through the most beautiful and productive portion of the district with a view to interesting them in locating here. The drive is outlined and described in a booklet now in the process of publication through the efforts of the chamber of commerce. Former Resident Is Buried Monday Samuel Dickey, former resident of Westminster passed away at the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. Henrietta Cowgill at Huntington Park last Friday evening, according to word received here. The funeral services were held Monday morning from the Klinker Chapel in Huntington Park.

Cattle on the ranges between Los Angeles and San Diego died by the hundreds from starvation. The only green spot in all this area were the grape vines here in Anaheim. Thick willow hedges surrounded each 20-acre tract where the grapes were grown. Armed men were employed to protect the vines from ravages of the cattle which sought to break through the thickets. Many cattle were shot in order to protect the grapevines. And in early 1862 there came a flood. The area south and west of the Santa Ana was covered with water from two to four feet deep. The flood was of short duration.

Every evening she would walk around the block bounded by Center, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and Olive streets, the two latter being lanes between the tracts of vineyard which were surrounded by willow thickets. As the lady passed a point where now East Broadway and Olive streets intersect two Mexicans waylaid the woman and attacked her. She was left more dead than alive. A vineyardist who was engaged in irrigating his vines heard her moans and appeals for help. The lady was carried to her home, and given medical attention and was restored to good health. Several weeks later she recognized a Mexican who road a spirited horse at the corner of Los Angeles and Center street, as one of her assailants. The lady called to Dy Davis, then city marshal who was standing in front of the hotel on the corner. The officer called to the Mexican to surrender, but instead he put spurs to his horse and darted east on Center street. Davis fired one shot from his revolver, and the Mexican fell from his horse mortally wounded. He was carried to a building on South Los Angeles street, and died shortly after. 12-HORSE FREIGHTERS Before the advent of the railroads freight was hauled by 12-horse wagons from Anaheim Landing to the town as far north as San Bernardino. A large warehouse was built on the Water front, where Seal Beach now stands, and the merchandise was brought in on lighters from the ships that were anchored out about a mile at sea. A large crew of men were employed in handling the freight and this port of entry was the only landing place between Wilmington and San Diego. There were no pavement in those days and in wet weather the teamsters had a real sought to break through the thickets. Many cattle were shot in order to protect the grapevines. And in early 1862 there came a flood. The area south and west of the Santa Ana was covered with water from two to four feet deep. The flood was of short duration.

Infantile paralysis raging in the east was given as the reason for dropping the affair, White said, in the telegram which arrived from Washington this morning. "We can understand and fully appreciate the reasons of the national board for dropping the affair," he said. "At this time a gathering such as ours could have made possible the spread of the disease over the entire country, causing a national tragedy."

Fuentes was not hurt. JUVENILE MINOR BEING FOR How to turn spare time spur time to spur a person's ties for figuring out his sharp depression problems is leading some unique efforts to earn outside of a reduced work schedule. A plan being put practice by Martin Carlson of Habra involves not only some fashioned "prospecting" for bearing ore, but also the bus and operating of a mill at H. Carlson hauls quartz (8,1,000 pounds at a trip) for claim on which he is doing development work seventy miles away, in Riverside county; the rock through grinder, a stamp mill and a complete static head, mercury plant; vas table, sand trap, settling and a small smelting furnace also has Troy scales, testing and other implements for mining. Sometimes it takes a more of rock to yield an gold. "But that means we healthy, outdoor work," runs the husky, hopeful oil work. Five Fullerton boys were a special treat a few days before being taken to Carlson's room A. C. Terrill and J. H. B. of the West Coast Mineral District and the Terrill Exploration pany.

Delegates Return From Conclave In Fresno A tired and weary crowd of delegates returned to Anaheim today from the American Legion convention in Fresno. All report a wonderful time as well as a busy one. The delegates from the Anaheim post were in the ranks of a loser for state commander, the choice of this county being Dick Welsh of Riverside, but all agree that the new commander, Dan Emmet will make a good man at the helm of the state legion this year. Emmet did not win in a walk, however, it being necessary to poll fourteen ballots before the decision was made. Other matters such as the adjusted compensation (commonly called the bonus) came in for much discussion and a demand for its immediately payment. Subversive activities of individuals and organizations also received due notice and decisive action. Hollywood will be the scene of the convention next year. COUNCIL DECIDES FOR SECOND CITY PARK, MEETING WEDNESDAY EVE Resolution Adopted Authorizing Exchange of Property in North Anaheim The regular meeting of the City Council which usually falls on Tuesday, but owing to election day was held last night (Wednesday) took final action upon the much discussed exchange of property at the north end of town. The program presented to the council some time ago by civic leaders and which received the endorsement of all the civic and dinner clubs of the city requires the trade of the city's orange grove for the acreage at the corner of Palm and Los Angeles street. This property when acquired will be laid out in a park site which will relieve the congested condition of the present park. Also it is planned to move the ballpark from the present location to the new park. Woman Hurt In Auto Collision A woman was injured and the driver of an automobile was in the Orange County jail today as the result of an automobile accident in the fog last week, near Cypress. Cars driven by Frank Standford, 38, 814 West Sandison street, Wilmington, manager of a grocery store, and Jewell L. Jenkins, 27, of 102 Harding street, Anaheim, collided headon, according to a report filed by state police. Sandford was arrested when officers said they learned he was driving his machine on the left side of the road. He was booked on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. Miss Jenkins was not injured, but a passenger in her car, Mrs. K. W. Pearson, 40, suffered possible internal injuries and shock. She was taken to the Anaheim Sanitarium. Norma Pearson, 17, also a passenger in the machine escaped injury. Hospital Veterans Guests Willow Lake The veterans of San Fernando hospital were the guests at Willow Park last week when the Orange County Council of the American Legion acted as hostesses. The next meeting of the county council will be held in Brea, it was announced at the picnic. VENILE MINERAL SOCIETY BEING FORMED AT FULLERTON How to turn spare time into time to spur a person's facu- for figuring out his share of session problems is leading tomitted to start up this three-horse-power gasoline engine and to run a batch of quartz through the entire process. They asked leaders and which received the endorsement of all the civic and dinner clubs of the city requires the trade of the city's orange grove for the acreage at the corner of Palm and Los Angeles street. This property when acquired will be laid out in a park site which will relieve the congested condition of the present park. Also it is planned to move the ball park from the present location to the new park. It has been said that if such a move were made there would be little or no trouble to secure a big league team to use Anaheim as a spring training camp. This would bring Anaheim untold value in advertising alone. In addition there would be quite some money left here by the ball players. Also it would enable Anaheim and Fullerton to see some real big leaguers in action against each other. Job's Daughters Visit San Diego The Anaheim Chapter of Job's Daughters had a large number of delegates among the group of over 300 from the various chapters who attended the San Diego Exposition this past week end. Saturday, August 10th, was the day selected for the special pilgrimage of this organization. The girls are all enthusiastic over the really enjoyable time that was afforded them. As their participation in the special entertainment program for the day the girls joined in the singing services at the San Diego Bowl in the evening. During the visit they attended about every interesting feature and exhibit of the fair, and returned home Monday happy, all being a bit tired. Mrs. Vera McKee acted as official chaperon for the group from Anaheim, among those being the Misses Beverly Johnson, Louise Harris, Marjorie and Mary Eleanor Spielman and Dona Lee McKee. Also included in the group—as official guards—were the Messrs. John Spielman, Burke Gover and Rampton Harvey. Funeral Held For Kin Local Woman Funeral services for Mrs. Mabel McNamara, wife of Alexander McNamara, who died Thursday at a Monrovia rest home, were conducted Saturday at Angeles VENILE MINERAL SOCIETY BEING FORMED AT FULLERTON how to turn spare time into a time to spur a person's faculties for figuring out his share of session problems is leading to unique efforts to earn wages aside of a reduced working module. A plan being put into practice by Martin Carlson of Laura involves not only some old-done "prospecting" for gold- mining ore, but also the building operating of a mill at home. Carlson hauls quartz (800 to 100 pounds at a trip) from a man on which he is doing depletion work seventy miles daily, in Riverside county; runs rock through grinder, a five-inch mill and a complete reducible plant equipped with hydro-electric head, mercury plante, cannister, sand trap, settling tanks and a small smelting furnace. He has Troy scales, testing acids other implements for assay. Sometimes it takes a ton or more of rock to yield an ounce of oil. "But that means wages, at little, outdoor work," remarks husky, hopeful oil worker. Active Fullerton boys were given special treat a few days ago by being taken to Carlson's mill by C. Terrill and J. H. Farwell of the West Coast Mineral society and the Terrill Exploration company. John Berney, George and Enley Cramer, Randall Howe and William Kohlenberger not only watched the mill work but also had the thrill of being mitted to start up this three-horse-power gasoline engine and to run a batch of quartz through the entire process. They asked plentiful questions concerning the old-fashioned rocker of a type used by the "Forty-niners," an improved device for "dry" washing and other equipment. Carlson's son Carl, a trifle older than the visiting lads, helped to answer these queries. Other groups of youngsters are promised similar trips as the juvenile Mineral society now being formed attainh enough growth. The boys above named, and other youngsters from the Fullerton district, with parents and friends attended a gem-polishing contest and a panning demonstration Wednesday afternoon at the newly opened juvenile exhibit headquarters, 312 North Spadra. The demonstration, with explanatory lecture, came from George Nicholson. There were talks also by Terrill and Coach Arthur Johnson, who is adding this introduction to mineralogy as a handicraft feature of the summer recreation projects directed by him as Fullerton playground superintendent. All attending the afternoon program were invited to take part in welcoming Howard Small of Riverside and a party of mineralogy students paying the main mineral exhibit a two-hour inspection visit in the evening.
