Guest Day Held At Rotary Club Meeting Monday The meeting of the Anaheir Rotary club was marked by an extremely large attendance inasmuch as each member of the club had with him a guest who was extended the full privilege of the club for the meeting. The program, under the direction of Dr. Ralph Waltz, proved to be very interesting. It was a travelogue of pictures taken on a fishing trip through the Canadian western territory by Charles A. Graham of Monetbello and a member of Rotary there. The pictures taken of the party started with the entrance into Canada, showing the beautiful scenery enjoyed along the route, which was in the Fraser River district. Graham "shot" his scenes as the mood struck without particular thought, but the outcome proved to be a very successful travelogue picture. The trip, primarily intended as a fishing trip and outing, proved very instructive as well. Fishing was plentiful inasmuch as the party jicked up a crew of guides. Leaving their automobiles and taking to boats the party found its way to Tembleur and Tackla lakes and the pictures proved conclusively that the "bigger ones did not get away." The pictures showed the small Indian villages and the inhabitants and customs of these small trapping places were explained as the picture proceeded. A number of the members of the club who are followers of Issak Walton have decided that they would in some future time "see for themselves" and Graham urged them not to miss such an opportunity. Graham was introduced by F. A. Yungbluth, a special guest of the club at the meeting and an old friend of the visitor.

Fochtman, two daughters Miss Eleanor Fochtman of dina street and Mrs. Will Bushman of Los Angels. There is one granddaughter brothers, Louis and A Fochtman of Petoskey, Mic four sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Orange County Judge Would Arrest Autos and Drivers in Drunken Cases Judge James L. Allen of the Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana last Tuesday announced a plan to cope with the increasing highway pestilence of drunken driving. Cancellation of driving licenses has failed to curb the evil, according to the judge's statement. He will submit the plan to the next session of the state Legislature with an idea of having it incorporated in the traffic laws. The measure will represent Judge Allen's plan of reducing traffic fatalities, through thinning the ranks of drunk or reckless drivers. He will seek its introduction to the next legislative session, he said. In less serious cases, the car of the driver would be impounded temporarily, and the driving license revoked for a period of time. Thus, explained Judge Allen, the driver would be kept off the road, but also would be kept out of jail and in a position to continue supporting his family. In the more serious cases, however, the plan would call for permanent confiscation of the automobile, and its sale at public auction to the highest bidder, receipts of the sale to go into the county treasury. The driving license also would be permanently cancelled. Such action also would be made a condition of probation, if granted in such cases. One result incidental to such a measure, said Judge Allen, probably would be the creation of "confiscation" insurance on cars sold on time payments, and subject to state confiscation should the owner become involved with the law. The deceased was a resident Anaheim for the past 13 years. He was born in St. Mary's, Survivors include his Grace E. Fochtman, two daughters Miss Eleanor Fochtman of dina street and Mrs. Will Bushman of Los Angeles. There is one granddaughter brothers, Louis and A.
