Stephens Offers Resolution Definitely Placing Committee In Proponents Columns; Funds for Rights of Way Occupies Much Time at Meeting Held Last Friday Night. A meeting of the Citizens Committee was called last Friday night in Santa Ana at which time it was determined to again support the issuance of bonds to acquire the Prado dam and other flood control projects in an election to be held on December 19. This committee actively supported the issue prior to the election held in the county on October 4. The second election which has been called by the Board of Supervisors, was called, it is said in compliance with a number of petitions which were passed by committees from this organization. Much time was consumed at the meeting Friday, in the discussion of the expenditure of the huge sum for rights-of-way on the lands which would become inundated through the building of the dam. The members of the county board of supervisors present stated they would be agreeable to the appointment of a board of appraisers to attempt to determine values on the 200 parcels of land involved. Answering a question put to him, Supervisor Willard Smith said if the board can secure flooding rights to land cheaper than by buying the lands, it would be done. He said a 70 foot dam would take care of a flood as large.

Library Here Is Changed to Circus Because the theme of book week this year is "Reading for Fun," the Anaheim library children's department has been transformed into a circus by Miss Elva Haskett, children's librarian, with two main tents under beach umbrellas, and numerous side-shows. The first of the main tents displays fiction and adventure stories for older boys and girls. The other one, adorned with a cowboy rider, has western stories and stories of county board of supervisors present stated they would be agreeable to the appointment of a board of appraisers to attempt to determine values on the 200 parcels of land involved. Answering a question put to him, Supervisor Willard Smith said if the board can secure flooding rights to land cheaper than by buying the lands, it would be done. He said a 70 foot dam would take care of a flood as large as the 1916 flood, providing the water came down the river at the same intervals and in the same quantity as at that time. George Kellogg, Yorba Linda, pointed out that government records show that heaviest rainfalls in a given period occur in this district. Supervisor LeRoy Lyon expressed himself as being in entire accord with the program as it now stands. L. H. Hoskins, Anaheim, warned against high prices he believed would be asked by the landowners. L. A. Bortz, president of the Orange County Farm Bureau suggested that a basis of property values in the district discussed might be determined on the basis of assessed valuations. O. T. Stephens suggested that the supervisors go on record as pledging themselves not to spend more money than is needed in the program. The labor angle in the proposal came into the discussion. Supervisor Smith declaring that Orange county labor would be used first, being recruited through the National Reemployment Service. He said that men qualified for the work who are not on relief rolls will be able to get jobs. When Orange county's labor supply is exhausted, he said, labor will be recruited from Riverside and Los Angeles. The supervisors, he said, will have nothing to do with a wage scale, this being set by the government. Members of the finance committee of the Citizens' committee were announced. H. A. Gardner is chairman, other members being Charles H. Chapman, W. B. Martin, T. E. Stephenson, W. B. Williams, Charles Dodds, D. D. Waynick, Robert Easton, H. E. Arnold, H. D. Newkirk, Dr. H. A.

John Madsen, the general seant-at-arms who has acquired for himself the title of "dime-digger unsurpassed oilrite" proved to the members that beneath all the levity there was a very serious streak and he selected as his topic for the meeting "The Things We Have to be Thankful for in This Country." He told of the blessings which were heaped upon on the American citizens as compared with other countries. His talk was followed by one given by Mel Gauer who had as his topic, "Things We Have in California to be Thankful For." Gauer brought out many reasons why residents of California should be thankful. He said, "We are particularly blessed in California for the following reasons: In 1934 California was first in total farm values in principal crops; third in barley; third in flax seed;; third in rice; third in grain sorghum; sixth in value of all hay; first in alfalfa; first in grain hay; 11th in cotton lint and linseed; eighth in alfalfa seed; second in hops; first in dry beans (edible); first in pears, peaches, grapes and oranges; third in grapefruit. First in lemons, prunes, cherries, almonds, apricots, olives, figs, walnuts, truck crops, asparagus, cantaloupes, carrots, Cauliflower, celery, lettuce and green peas for market. Second in spinach for market; first in spinach for manufacture; third in strawberries; first in watermelons and tomatoes; second in pimentoes; first in truck crops for manufacture. Twenty-fourth in number of farms and first in production average farm income. In addition to this Orange county leads the nation, which I believe gives us plenty to be thankful for."
