HALL APRIL 1, 2, 3 Free School To Have Many New Features in Art of Culinary Effort; Expert Economist as Well as Many Entertainment Features Planned For Three-Day Event. Everyone Invited. Of great interest to the housewives of Anaheim and vicinity is the Anaheim Gazette announcement of its Happy Kitchen Cooking School, to be held April 1, 2 and 3, at the K. P. Hall, West Center street near Clementine. Under the personal direction of Pauline K. Edwards, the nationally known Home Economist, who has helped thousands of home makers—brides, young mothers, and older housewives—the cooking school promises to be one of unusual benefit, as well as providing delightful entertainment through the sparkling and pertinent remarks of Miss Edwards. Miss Edwards says, "Cooking has been my hobby, as well as my vocation, for a number of years. I know of no art where creative ability and imagination bring greater dividends than in the realm of cookery. Every woman who has baked a perfect pie, with a light, flaky crust and delicious filling, or prepared a cake that is a joy to behold and a delight to eat, feels the same thrill of accomplishment as the artist when he views the inspired painting he has just finished. "Housework too often is regarded mainly as dull routine, while the career of the woman in the business world is looked upon with envy. But the housewife has an independence, a chance to use..." Suit Started In Traffic Accident Suit was started this week in Judge James L. Allen's court in Santa Ana in which John F. Wisdom of Los Angeles is suing for $25,050 against A. V. Swanson of Anaheim as a result of a traffic accident. Wisdom was repairing his car at the side of the 101 highway, just outside the northerly limits of Fulerton last August 1, when he was struck by Swanson's car, he claims. The suit was originally filed in Los Angeles county, but Swanson obtained a change of venue to Orange county. Anaheim Grange Plans Box Party The members of the Anaheim Grange will meet in the K. P. Hali here next Tuesday night at 7:30 at which time a box social will feature the evening. Entertainment, including a program and cards will be held in addition to the box party. League of Municipalities Considers Plan for Liquor Control at Meeting Held at Elks Club Thursday Night The delegates attending the meeting of the League of Municipalities endorsed a plan for the control of liquor which was called the "middle-of-the-road plan."

If the budget doesn't permit much of expensive equipment, perhaps it will stretch to cover some new pot holders, which by the way should be laundered as regularly as tea towels, or some of the new small kitchenware with luscious bright red, yellow, or lettuce green handles—whose colors against the soft cream paper lining of a kitchen drawer, will give any woman a feeling of pride and satisfaction when she opens that drawer, and a new pleasure in her kitchen." Miss Edwards bubbies with ideas, and practical suggestions for making the preparation of the family meals a congenial task amid pleasant surroundings. She extends a warm invitation to all the home makers in Anaheim to attend the Happy Kitchen Classes to be held at the K. P. Hall in Anaheim, and to bring along any questions about meal planning balanced diets, budgeting, etc., for she will be delighted to give all the help possible. Varied Program Planned, Abbey A varied musical program will be given at Melrose Abbey Sunday afternoon (March 8th) featuring Marvin E. Everett, baritone Hertha E. Togel, reader, of the Daphne Goss Hellerton Dramatic School of Anaheim and Hollywood, Helen E. Johnston of the Johnston Studio, Anaheim. Mr. T. Harry Warne, organist at the United Presbyterian Church. Plan for Liquor Control at Meeting Held at Elks Club Thursday Night The delegates attending the meeting of the League of Municipalities endorsed a plan for the control of liquor which was called the "middle-of-the-road plan." The plan would give local control and yet keep the liquor business out of politics. Approximately 100 delegates attended the meeting at the Elks Club here last Thursday night. The plan as tentatively agreed upon by the state league, to be perfected and submitted as a state constitutional amendment should it meet the approval of the majority of county leagues, is virtually the plan originally outlined by the executive board of the Orange County league and submitted by Mayor Charles H. Mann of Anaheim to the state league executive, Dick Graves. Graves was the principal speaker of the evening. Following explanation of the plan, a roll call was taken from representatives present from the 12 cities in the county. Two cities, Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach, did not vote, probably because of "small representation at the meeting. San Clemente was not represented. The other cities voted for the resolution of endorsement. The plan in effect includes the following points: A larger measure of local control is desirable; revenue from retail liquor licenses should be used for local regulation and law enforcement and should not be considered as a source of state revenue; appointment rather than election of a state liquor control commission, members to hold long, staggered terms subject to approval of the senate, this commission to issue all liquor licenses to avoid wet-dry tickets at every local election; Property should be posted and adequate time for protest should be allowed before granting a license; cities should have power summarily to suspend the license pending a hearing by the state commission on the subject of revocation. A further plan of the state league was not adopted with this resolution but will be considered individually by Orange county cities. This phase of the project would allow a city to vote as to the legalizing within its borders of saloons once every five years. Graves explained that the program condemns local option as providing additional hazard from drunk drivers and that the "middle-of-the-road" plan agreed upon should gain the support of sensible wets and reasonable drys. The weakness of the present system, he said, is the elective position of the State Board of Equalization, making the issue of granting or revoking liquor licenses a political one. The meeting also included a talk by George Holden, Anaheim city attorney, on the legality of booking establishments and such agencies as the Continental Turf agency. The latter establishment, Holden said, had a legal basis, "has chosen to close its doors, in Santa Ana, Anaheim and other towns, of its own accord."

County Townsendites Hear Judge Summers In Address Sunday Eve Some 500 members of the Townsend clubs of Orange County gathered at the Townsend Hall in Santa Ana last Sunday night at which time they heard an address by Judge M. C. Summers. Judge Summers is well known as a writer and formerly was district attorney at St. Louis, Mo. The meeting was called to order by C. W. Riggle who led the audience in the singing of America and in the Flag Salute. Rev. R. F. Russell of Santa Ana pronounced the benediction and then Hurd's orchestra composed of Earl Lentz, Carl Durall, O. A. Sanders, Jim Carlson and Haywood Patterson entertained the crowd with a thrilling test of the nation. He voiced the belief that evidences were abundant that smaller banking units were rapidly being forced to sell their institutions to chain banking interests which are dominated over Wall Street Banks. "Tell your local bankers" said he, "the winner they help put the Townsmen." The club members welcomed two of the "cripples" back into the fold when Dr. Herbert Johnston, who has been ill with the flu and Cloyd Hartranft, booster of Lincoln and emulator of George Washington, chopped his foot but was able to come back to the meeting. Captain "Applejack" O'Brien was the speaker for the occasion. He spoke on communism and pleaded for faith in the American institutions. Lt. Charles Schmitt, suggested a tentative plan to the members to make a trip to Bouder dam in the immediate future and outlined a plan for the trip. It is tentatively planned to make the trip over the weekend of March 13, 14 and 15. Leaving here Friday night and returning Sunday. The meeting was conducted by K. B. Rigby, president of the club. GEORGE REID CALLED EAST George Reid, leading contender for the postmastership here and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, received a telegram Tuesday afternoon urging him to go to St. Louis, Mo. The telegram was received from his sister, and stated that his brother-in-law had been seriously injured at work. Details of the accident were very meager in the message. Reid left Tuesday afternoon for Los Angeles from whence he took a plane for the eastern city. Woman and Lady Hurt In Crime Broadway and West street the scene of a crash last Saturday when Mrs. A. Costello sustained a fracture and Crespin Costello, a smoker received a badly wrenched fist. The two injured were sitting in the rumble seat of a car by Mrs. Frank Costello, propping north on West street and cording to police reports struck in the rear by a car by William Miller, 313 East Street who was travelling e Judge Summers is well known as a writer and formerly was district attorney at St. Louis, Mo. The meeting was called to order by C. W. Riggle who led the audience in the singing of America and in the Flag Salute. Rev. R. F. Russell of Santa Ana pronounced the benediction and then Hurd's orchestra composed of Earl Lentz, Carl Durall, O. A. Sanders, Jim Carlson and Haywood Patterson entertained the crowd with a thirty minute concert. Chairman Riggle then introduced State Area Manager Ted E. Felt who in turn presented Judge Summers as the speaker of the evening. Judge Summers immediately launched into a speech which caused his audience to applaud him time and again. Almost at the first he invited any present who had "any hard nuts to crack" in connection with the Townsend Plan to state them and from over the audience in rapid fire order came question after question which he answered with unusual dispatch and good humor. Holding a copy of "The Federal Reserve Banking Laws" in one hand and in the other hand a copy of the "The Townsend Pian Book" Judge Summers dramatically said, "Outside of the Bible these two books are the most important in the world to this audience." He then explained the one book contained laws which regulated the money system of the nation and that the Townsend book contained the TNT which would cause the money system to function in half of the economic health of the nation. He then explained in detail the workings of the Federal Reserve Banks and stated that International Bankers to considerable degree dominated their functioning to the detriment of banking and other business interests of the nation. He voiced the belief that evidences were abundant that smaller banking units were rapidly being forced to sell their institutions to chain banking interests which are dominated over by Wall Street Banks. "Tell your local bankers" said he, "the quicker they help put the Townsend Plan into effect the longer they will be in the banking business." He pointed out that already private bankers are beginning to sense a danger to their independent institutions resultant of the recent Banking Act legislated into law with the consent and help of the present administration. He pointed out that the nation's unemployment and relief problems are all the result of faulty money circulation. He cited the remedy which the Townsend Plan would be for the nation's ills showing how the rising volume of business resulting from the Townsend annuities would enable private business to shoulder the business of furnishing employment. The public debt he said would dimmediately begin to reduce in its volume instead of pyramiding into terrifying proportions as is now true. In stressing the need of money circulation being restored he said, "If any doctor of medicine would tell any of you people that he was going to perform an operation upon you by extracting your blood from your body and place in your veins and arteries in its stead ice water you would say to him—'not on me.' You people know there is no substitute for blood in the human body and neither is (Continued on page 8) QUE OF CONDEMNED BLOOD CONTROL Stanton, Brookhurst Road, Theim Storm Drain project Judge G. K.
