ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1936 THE SPENDING ORGY CONTINUES (EDITORIAL) We are to have another election. By a peculiarity law a small portion of the voters of the county have elected which to our minds is the most attempt in which we have ever been called upon to start. Justice Charles Kuchel who has for the past ten elected out justice as he interpreted the law, with Howard none and as he believed honestly, with all, will be called upon to seek justification in not which elected and re-elected him to the office. Retention is the charge of his enemies who signed the asking the board of supervisors to spend $2,000 taxpayers money in an extremely unnecessary way signatures, if we are to believe rumors, were held through promises of a roving court. We have said that certain proponents of the recall movement promised that should Justice Kuchel be removed from and a certain man be elected that a small claims would be established in Garden Grove and yet in Buena Park. If this be true, there must also be political change in the law. Two cities cannot have the right. It is true that either might have it, BUT NOT Surely people of normal intelligence would not such tommyrot. By the same token, however, the municipality in the township would be WITHOUT the court. And, from whence comes the largest vote. Are also told that the active proponents in the camaraderie those who have run afoul of the civil law and unable to sway the court to find for them. This we think is a recommendation for fairness rather than a proof of incompetence. Choose New Head For Anaheim Firm A Los Angeles man, John D Chudacoff was elected president and manager of the Southern Meat Company in the reorganization of the company, it was announced this week, which includes taking over the interests of the Tovrea company, which were represented by Stanley Martin, former manager. The new management is planning extensive stocking of the plant, having shipped in $25,000 worth of cattle.

Jack Hodges, for 15 years with the Swift Company, has been engaged to handle the sales force of seven men. Martin was retained as buyer. The company will employ about 50 men to start operations.
