The Orange County Board of Supervisors received a report from its engineers recommending the rejection of the modified plan late Wednesday afternoon. The engineers ruled it is said, that the proponents of the new plan claim a lower dam would hold a flood such as was experienced in 1916 which, it is said, is the largest that has been known in Orange county. Chairman John Mitchell of the board told newspaper men that nothing would be done as there had been no modified plan presented to the board. In the face of this disclaimer, the proponents state that the board did have a modified plan set before it. That submitted by George Randall. Sixty Veterans Attend Church Service Church services were held in the Calvary Baptist church last Sunday at which time the members of the local post of the American Legion were the special guests of the church.

Church services were held in the Calvary Baptist church last Sunday at which time the members of the local post of the American Legion were the special guests of the church. Rev. Virgil Ledbetter, who can always deliver a talk that carries interest to all, spoke on the possibilities of ending wars. "Unpreparedness is no guarantee of peace," he stated. "We must be prepared to repell invasion, but before we have lasting peace there must be a great change in the hearts of men. Peace will not come through education, and until God changes the heart of men we will continue to have wars. God is willing but man must accept the change. About sixty members of the post attended the services in a body and were accompanied by a large number of Auxiliary members, which filled the church to capacity. Mrs. Ray Smith Is Injured In Crash Mrs. Ray E. Smith, wife of the general chairman of the Armistice day celebration here narrowly escaped death in an automobile accident Monday afternoon shortly after the parade when the car she was driving was struck by a car from the sheriff's office driven by Ezra Stanley and Walter Duncan of the farm detail. The accident occurred at the intersection of Palm and Water streets. According to the report, the sheriff's car attempted to pass a truck and trailer which contained a load of horses and did not see the Smith car which was occupied by Mrs. J. Douglas Cooper and Mrs. Gus Prescott who were here for the day's events visiting at the Smith home. The three ladies were painfully though not seriously hurt. They were taken to the Sanitarium where it was found they were suffering but minor injuries, and immediately returned home. The Smith car was badly damaged on the side, while the county car had a smashed radiator and lights. Mrs. Smith who suffered a badly board did have a modified plan set before it. That submitted by George Randall. A modified plan for the flood control has been submitted to the Board of Supervisors by George C. Randall of Orange in which the supervisors were urged to make certain changes in the plan recently offered by Roy Browning, and engineer for the Irvine Co., in which Randall suggests that the present dam at Santiago not be made higher and set forth as his reasons that such an expedition would not benefit the water users of the county in general. In its stead he urges that a dam be built at Prado, but to reduce the size to 70-feet height and reducing the cost to approximately five million dollars. His plan would be to build a dam at the narrows, two miles below the County Park in Section 13 where the water companies now have a small concrete dam at their pipe line intake. He advocates: "An earthfill dam about 115 feet high at this point will back the water clear up to the County Park line, a distance of two miles and provide reservoir capacity of about 20,000 acre feet for both water conservation and flood control." He estimates the cost of this work at about $700,-000 which would include the cost of the lands. His plan also calls for a change in the Carbon conduit to lead the water to a nearby spreading grounds. In suggesting this change he makes the suggestion with the proviso that the Anaheim Union Water company donate the use of the lands for such purposes and estimates the cost at approximately $141,000. He would eliminate entirely the Trabuco dam with the estimated expenditure of $617,500 as well as the Coyote Creek Co-Operative work with an estimated cost of $147,000. The other projects he recommends no change. In his plan he suggests that the interest on the county bonds be limited to four per cent instead of six and that they be amortized off in 20 years instead of 40. He states that this would inaugurate a saving of $6,442,000 in interest alone. His estimated figures would mean a total expenditure of $4,- Tuesday, 7-9 p.m. Leaders Training White Temple Church. Wednesday, 10-12 a.m. Laguna Council, Scout House. 7-9 p.m. Leaders Training, White Temple Church. Thursday, 1-3 p.m. Anaheim Council, Scout House. 7-9 p.m. Leaders Training, White Temple Church. The leader's training course is held from 7 to 9, is for leaders, prospective leaders, or those vitally interested in scout troops directly. The council training course is the council members and those interested in the Scout program on the community standpoint. Mrs. H. L. Burden, chairman of the training personnel of the Anaheim Council of Girl Scouts extends an invitation to all who are interested in the work of the Girl Scouts to attend as many of these courses possible. To Demonstrate Turkey Killing The holiday season will soon be here when turkey meat will reign supreme as the piece de resistance. An anticipation of this a turkey killing, dressing and drawing demonstration is scheduled for 8:00 A.M., Friday, October 15, at Ward's ranch, one-half mile east of Bolsa on West First Street, Santa Ana, according to W. M. Dry, Assistant Farm Advisor. Often times an otherwise perfect carcass is ruined in appearance in some stage of its preparation for the oven.

Of special interest to turkey farmers will be an informal discussion on the supply and marketing outlook.
