LOCAL BALL PARK PLANS DISCUSSED BY CITY COUNCIL & L. A. CLUBMEN
Meeting Held Monday at City Hall Regards Size of Park
Through the efforts of Chief of Police Jim Bouldir at the request of the members of the City Council, Oscar Reichow, head of the Los Angeles Coast League team Jack Lelivelt, manager and Truck Hannah, trainer, came to Anaheim last Monday afternoon and went into session regarding the general arrangement of the new baseball field to be built in the new city park.
It was a general idea that the plot as laid out by the city engineer's office was somewhat larger than necessary and it was suggested that the field be cut to 375 feet along the foul lines and 425 inches center field.
Considerable discussion was
Former Anaheim Athlete Battles Shark
When a student in school is taught the ways of the world he is usually cautioned to stay away from sharks and their methods, but apparently the curiosity of Harvey Tedford, former athlete in the local high school, was piqued and he decided to try his hand with the actual sharks instead of the commercial sharpser.
He and four others in the launch Cherokee gaffed an 1800 pounder and dragged it into anchorage at the pier at Santa Monica.
The captive measured 23 feet and is claimed to be the largest shark ever caught in California waters. He is presumed to be one of a small school that dropped south for the winter from British Columbia or Alaskan waters. The species is known as "basking" because of the practice of basking in the sunshine on top of the water.
Tedford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Tedford, 1107 West Broadway. He now is engaged in the boating industry at Santa Monica's yacht anchorage harbor.
ANNUAL MEET OF COUNTY VETERAN WELFARE BOARD HELD FULLERTON
Report of Harry Edwards Made To Veterans Clubs At Meeting
The delegates representing the various veteran organizations throughout Orange County met in Fullerton, in the Legion hall last Monday night at which time the election of two directors was held.
William Webb, for the past three years chairman of the board of directors presided at the meeting and transacted the business which took in the reports of the various officials including that of Harry Edwards the county service officer.
The report of Edwards showed the value of his office and the work that is being accomplished in the way of caring for the welfare cases among the veterans.

regarding the general arrangement of the new baseball field to be built in the new city park.
It was a general idea that the plot as laid out by the city engineer's office was somewhat larger than necessary and it was suggested that the field be cut to 375 feet along the foul lines and 425 in center field.
Considerable discussion was held relative to the location of the home plate, as to whether it should be placed in the southwest corner or in the northwest corner. It was stated by the visitors that all of the eastern diamonds were laid out with the home plate in the southwest corner and it was believed that if it was the intention to get a big league team here for the purpose of training purposes that it would be advisable to lay out the field the same as the eastern fields.
Reichow stated at the meeting that if the field were in condition in 1937 and the Los Angeles team was invited, undoubtedly the Angels would come here to train. "We will be glad to give all the aid we can in planning your buildings and the layout of the grounds," he said. "We helped with the Santa Monica field as well as the San Bernardino park and we have a personal interest in those two fields. Feel free to call on us for any information we may be able to give."
Rube Ellis, formerly with the Vernon team in the Coast League and St. Louis Cardinals was also at the meeting and aided in the discussion.
Mayor Mann, Councilmen Yungbluth, Pearson and Sheridan attended the meeting from the city council. City Engineer Hapgood, Ewald Lemke, from the engineer's office and Rudy Boysen, superintendent of the park, also attended the meeting.
Following the meeting in the council chambers, the men all went to the site of the new park and the Coast Leaguers waxed enthusiastic over the possibilities of a ball park there.
ALL VOTERS IN COUNTY MUST REGISTER
County Clerk J. M. Backs, has just received word, according to an announcement from his office early this week, that the Supreme Court has ruled that all voters must re-register in compliance with the act passed at the last session of the legislature which was declared valid.
Ruling in a test case the supreme court said the act of the legislature was not in conflict with the permanent registration amendment to the constitution voted by the people in 1932.
This amendment provides that a voter, once registered, will remain on the registration lists permanently unless he fails to vote at either the primary and general elections in any election year.
The amendment did away with the regular biennial registration required previously, but, according to the supreme court ruling, did not abridge the right of the legislature to require a new registration at such times as it might see fit.
The current registration, however, will be used for the December 19 bond election in Orange county.
Last Rites Held For Mrs. C. King
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon from Hilgenfeld's Funeral parlors here for the late Mrs. Catherine King, who died last week as the result, it is believed of an automobile accident which took in the reprints of the various officials including that of Harry Edwards the county service officer.
The report of Edwards showed the value of his office and the work that is being accomplished in the way of caring for the welfare cases among the veterans.
He made a direct plea to the members for clothing which he said was badly needed. "I have numerous calls for clothing from vets that is hard to fill. If any of the veterans, or their friends in your organization, have clothing of any description, especially suits, I would appreciate it if you would notify my office in Santa Ana. You'd be surprised the good we can do with this item. Of course all items of clothing will be appreciated," he concluded.
Harvey Regals of the fourth supervisorial district was reelected as director from that district while Dave Day of Fullerton was selected from the third district when Webb stated he would not be a candidate for reelection.
Following the meeting coffee and doughnuts were served to the delegates with Fullerton Post's genial Commander Rogers acting as host.

Justice
Recall petitions have been filed against Justice of the Peace Charles Kuchel wherein it was charged that he, after holding the office for ten years, is incompentent.
Active in the recall movement is Alva Hargrave, who was the unsuccessful candidate against Kuchel at the last election.
The petitions were filed with the county clerk last Monday by Louis Heffner who was accompanied to the court house by Hargrave.
The county cork announces that he has ten days in which to check the validity of the signers and then present the matter to the board of supervisors.
The checkup of the signatures may be hampered somewhat, however, with the information now coming out that the purpose of the petition was not fully understood. This phase of the petitions is being investigated.
It was found it is said, in one case at least, that the person passively petitioned had led the signer to believe that he was signing a paper on the water proposition. If this is taken up with the grand jury, undoubtedly a sweeping investigation will be made of the whole affair by that body. Should it be found that misrepresentation was made by the person or persons passing the petition, undoubtedly the matter will be brought up under the penal code which is very explicit in these matters.

ASSOCIATED WATER USERS FOR ORGANIZATION TO DEFEAT ELECTION
With Arthur J. McFadden, widely known orange grower, chairman, and some of the best known men in the county on the executive committee, the Associated Water Users of Orange County started a campaign this week to defeat the $6,620,000 water bond issue which comes before the voters on December 19.
Heretofore, in water bond fights, many of the prominent leaders in their various communities did not actively fight against the bonds. This time however, they have voluntarily offered their time and services as well as financial aid against the bond issue.
The executive committee is composed of A. J. McFadden, chairman; A. J. Cruickshank, John E. Hall, W. L. Deimling, J. F. Burke, George Briggs, J. F. Lamp, James Irvine, Tarver Montgomery, Col. J. E. Jones, O. M. Thompson, Gus Ward, E. F. Gaines, J. A. Burns, W. H. Foster, C. C. Wagner, H. L. Sherman and R. E. Larder.
J. C. Metzgar, veteran campaigner, is campaign director against the bonds and J. F. Burke has charge of the publicity.
"We feel that the question was settled when the voters turned it down on October 4th," Mr. Metzgar said today. "The board of supervisors is determined to ignore the voters however and have presented the same plan as before, in spite of the efforts that were made to reach an agreement through a modified program. The people of Orange county do not want the bond issue to carry due to lack of definite conservation and to excessive taxes and costs and I believe that the bonds will be defeated far worse then they were before.
"The Associated Water Users are far better equipped to wage war against those who would deliberately cram the bonds down the taxpayer's throats, than before, and I believe we will get a majority," he said.
Citrus Balloting Dates Announce
Citrus growers of thirty counties in California and six counties in Arizona will have opportunity on December 14 to determine whether favor the issuance by U.S. tary of Agriculture Hen Wallace of an Order regulating handling of oranges and fruit in California and A.A.E Agricultural Adjustment ministry announced today.

Vet Exemption On Automobile Tax Explained
War veterans will have advantage of one-stop service when applying for vehicle license fee exemption and 1936 registration number plates for their automobiles next month.
Gov. Frank F. Merriam made this known today when he announced that all offices of department of motor vehicles in the state have been authorized to take affidavits and grant exemption from payment of vehicle license fees by veterans in accordance with a recent ruling of the attorney general. Earlier plans would have made it necessary for veterans to obtain exemption at city and county assessor offices.
"The law intends for California's ex-service men to be granted vehicle license fee exemption," said Governor Merriam, "and it is my intention that the machinery for granting the exemptions be made as simple as possible for the veteran. To accomplish this, I have asked Ray Ingels, director of motor vehicles, to handle the entire veteran situation in the various statewide offices of his department."
The governor's action, according to Ingels, makes it only necessary for a veteran to present his honorable discharge, together with his 1935 validated registration card
Atrus Balloting Dates Announced
Atrus growers of thirty-seven counties in California and several counties in Arizona will have an opportunity on December 12, 13, 14 to determine whether they or the issuance by U. S. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Place of an Order regulating the selling of oranges and grapefruit in California and Arizona. Agricultural Adjustment Administration announced today.
At the same time, on separate lots, the California growers will press themselves concerning a proposed License based on the provisions of the California Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1935, similar in all respects to the proposed Federal Order except that applies only to fruit disposed of near the State of California. There is no conflict or duplication involved in the two measures, both being needed to insure complete utilization of all shipments ofages or grapefruit whether sold within the State or shipped outside of California.
Bowl Stables Plan Program for Winter
The Bowl Stables at Brea Road in Hillcrest Park in Fullerton, which is under the management of C. McCoy has brought down both horses from the stables at Westline in the San Bernardino Mountains for the winter program.
A lighted arena has been arranged to provide safe riding at night which also offers facilities for instruction, drill or games on seeback.
Ebell was started in Oakland, and named after a lecturer by that name who had advocated the studying of certain topics. The club was organized in 1907, after many trials and tribulations, and now has an active membership with the many study divisions all of which were explained by Miss Rea.
The Elks quartet furnished the musical program for the meeting and did a splendid job. They were recalled to the platform the second time.
Kenny Kendrick was program chairman for the day.
Cloyd Hartranft gave the charge of Rotary to George Griffith a new member of the club.
Santa Ana Lions Meet With Local Club on Friday
The Anaheim Lions club had the members of the Santa Ana club as its guests last Friday when they gathered for a joint meeting. Presidents Herb Eldred of the Anaheim club and C. W. Harrison of the visiting club presided over the meeting of 45 members.
Thanksgiving Day was the theme of the meeting and the speaker for the occasion was Rev. Perry Schrock who traced the meaning of Thanksgiving Day.
Outlining the fundamental teachings of the Puritans, Rev. Schrock stated that the teachings were the foundation of nearly every state constitution in the United States.
The governor's action, according to Ingels, makes it only necessary for a veteran to present his honorable discharge, together with his 1935 validated registration card and the postal assessment card he will receive from Sacramento office of department of motor vehicles, when he applies at his local motor vehicle office for 1936 automobile number plates. City and county assessors later will be advised by department of motor vehicles of the amount of exemption granted veterans on their automobiles.
Veterans who are legal residents of California and who saw war service in the army, navy, marine corps or revenue marine force are entitled to vehicle license fee exemption to the amount of $1000, provided they do not own property in their name and in the name of their wife to the amount of $5000 or more.
The vehicle license fee (the fee which in 1936 supplants the present personal property tax on motor vehicles and the one on which veterans are entitled to exemption) is to be charged at the rate of $1.75 per $100 valuation as fixed by department of motor vehicles. Veterans must not confuse the license fee with the usual $3 registration number plate fee which they still are required to pay, said Director Ingels.
Postal assessment cards, fixing fees for individual vehicles, will be mailed all registered owners after December 20.
