President K. B. Rigby opened the meeting with an address that was a scream from beginning to end. He screamed at other members of the club to maintain a silence that he might get the few words he had spent hours learning, off his table cover... (laundries take note). He finally, after Mel Gauer had his way, concluded his three minute talk that covered considerable area (That is Tom McFadden with the collection box did) and after an attempt lasting nearly thirty minutes “K. B.” was able to tell the ladies he was glad to see them. The roll was called of the Board of Directors and in order to be in order “K. B.” requested Dr. Herb Johnston to check noses and see if any active member of the board had been missed. Doc missed none and neither did K. B. So the Rotary Anns were introduced (each Rotarian introduced himself and his lady.) Cloyd Hartranft had a little trouble remembering just what his wife’s name is, but then it was overlooked as they got not Highley is president of a Los Angeles Townsend club, which has about 19,000 members. In his discussion he prophesied that the Townsend pension will be passed by the 1936 congress. As an instance of the power of the Townsend people, he brought reports from the Michigan election yesterday, where a Michigan representative running on the Republican ticket without sanction of the Republican state committee won by a large majority. "When you wipe out political graft you wipe out political parties and then you eliminate this government of by and for a few and return to democracy," he said. "When you save the old people that have given of their best from pauperism, then you supply work for young people. That will empty out penitentiaries except of criminals; it will empty them of young men who haveolen to live; given work, young men will stop thieving." B. Holmes, president of Townsend Club No. 1, Fullerton, presided. Dr. Ruby introduced the speaker. The speaker's brother, the Rev. R. E. Highley of Los Angeles, with Mrs. Highley, sang a duet. The Rev.

So the Rotary Anns were introduced (each Rotarian introduced himself and his lady.) Cloyd Hartranft had a little trouble remembering just what his wife's name is, but then it was overlooked as they have not been married long. (Some of the crowd thought that, maybe due to the Spanish dancers that were to come in on the program that Cloyd figured ahead of them... anyway he had one of the 10 cent reserved seats.) Hap Hapgood also had a good seat... of course it wasn't any different than any of the rest of the chairs except for its particular location, but then an engineer always picks out a good location... so they say. The dancers... mmmmmm... well you'll have to ask some of the bald heads about them. However, I heard LeRoy Lyon say that Oscar Renner asked Charley Schmitt what Mrs. Gene Campbell had to say about it, and she replied that Harry hogged the picture apparently figuring another story angle (by the way Harry had a good story to tell something about the definition of ex-temp... o, well, ditch digging). Five new members were announced but only three of them ate turkey... the rest apparently thought may be there was some gag. (And speaking of gags Doe Waltz looked around the gathering to discover how many of his patients were there and then tried to get a seat in the middle of them... according to Wilbert Bonney who beat him to it... you know, more turkey). Anyway after the Spanish dancers, whose act was very entertaining... they were the Raoul de Ramirez troupe from San Gabriel—(Tom McFadden says that's pronounced "San Gob-re-ell") but he wouldn't give us the low down on the rest of it) were acclaimed by the entire assemblage and particularly those young good-looking fellas that got bouquets and the Rotary Anns weren't so terribly displeased. After all the entertainment was over, your Hong Kong correspondent got into red and white behemoth. The following announcement issued Tuesday morning by J. V. Hogan receiver for the Anaheim First National Bank and will be most welcome news to the former depositors of the institution.

Ever mindful of my obligation to the depositors of this bank and their welfare, it is with a feeling of pride that I made this announcement of a second dividend payment.

I find pleasure in the work of liquidation of this bank, I find joy and satisfaction in my association with the good people of Anaheim and I trust and hope that this dividend payment will add an atmosphere of happiness and good cheer to my friends and depositors whom I have been privileged to serve during the past year.
