Annual Meeting of Edison Company To Be Held Santa Ana Friday The annual meeting of stockholders of the Southern California Edison Company Ltd., to be held tomorrow; this year will be again brought to the stockholders by wired radio, using the company's privately-owned telephone system as a transmission network, according to the announcement today of R. E. Bacon, manager for the Company in this territory. Twelve broadcast-linked meetings will be held simultaneously, bringing to stockholders gathered at convenient geographic locations the entire proceedings of the annual meeting at Los Angeles where Harry J. Bauer, president of the company, will present his annual report. The great interest manifested by stockholders last year, as shown by their attendance at a similar meeting, together with the interest being taken by the stockholders in company affairs, prompted the management to again arrange this unique means of bringing to the stockholders the annual meeting. This Edison plan of stockholders' meetings, it was pointed out, enables the saving of time and effort that might be required in attending a meeting distant from home. The meeting of stockholders in this area will be held at Santa Ana City Hall, council chambers, third floor, beginning at 11:45 o'clock Friday morning. Following the Edison company custom inaugurated last year, the addresses and other business of the general meeting in Los Angeles will be heard at each of twelve receiving points through the audio system of radio broadcast receivers by means of photocopying. I've tried a number of days to get George Holden, our efficient city attorney to answer a legal question... here it is... if the district attorney of Orange County turned out to be a poor attorney would people refer to him as "Bad-Minton"?

Following the Edison company custom inaugurated last year, the addresses and other business of the general meeting in Los Angeles will be heard at each of twelve receiving points through the audio system of radio broadcast receivers by means of phonograph pickup facilities. The program at Los Angeles, originating in the auditorium of the Edison Building at Fifth Street and Grand Avenue, will be carried over Edison communication system lines to each of the receiving points where the meetings of stockholders are being held. The program for the Friday meeting will include not only the report of Mr. Bauer as president but addresses by W. C. Mullen-dore, executive vice-president, and Fred B. Lewis, vice-president and general manager. The talks by these officials will include a discussion of taxes, the Boulder Dam power supply in relation to the company, and other subjects bearing upon the future prospects of the company. During the meeting Mr. Bauer also will introduce the members of the Edison company board of directors. Aged Woman Is Victim of Fraud Deputy Sheriffs James Musick and G. F. McKelvy picked up Gene Proctor at Belevedere Gardens last Friday on complaint issued by Mrs. Lucy Michelini of Anaheim in which she asserted that Proctor, said to be an exconvict had mulcted her out of $4,000. The money was said to have been obtained under promises of investment in good stocks and bonds. Proctor, according to the county officers was hiding in a closet in his home in Belevedere Gardens when caught.

But what with the buzzing of the political candidates it is doubtful that Speaking of the Elks, they tell me that Jockey Leo Friis won the handicap . . . the handicappers allowed him three hours to make the course (once around the lodge hall) because of the slowness of his elephant. (And they say he nearly made a record) 2 hrs., 59 mins., 29 secs. A lemon grower of this district was unable to get the best of Paul Davidson, of the Superior Radio store. . . Paul has some fruit in an ice box and among other things a lemon. . . He was asked why he put lemons in the 'frigerator and Paul . . . even without blushing . . stated that he just wanted to prove that Orange County lemons could withstand anything . . even squeezing . .

I tried it and the derned thing is hollow inside the crust) . . and the crust is made of plaster paris . . and now Paul is having a heck of a time convincing me he wouldn't fool a person about the things in his store. . Some day when you feel well along in breath and have a chance to catch Fritz Yungbluth in the front of his store (to enable you to make a hasty exit) ask him about guard duty in Oakland some years ago . . and then if he likes Oakland beer . . then run. There's a squib making the rounds about a certain well known cop who thinks he's wild because his name is Wilder. . . Seems like a fella once tried to take a pot shot at Teed and just because the poor duck missed Teed they threw him in the hoosegow for six months . . well he ought I've got life for missing a chance like that. .

McFADDEN Placentia, California, February 27, 1936. Editor Gazette: That little boy o' mine climbed upon his daddy's knee a few days ago and said: "How big is Tom McFadden Pa That people call him great? Is he like old Goliath tall His spear a hundred weight? Ah, no, my son, about as tall As I or uncle James; Tis not his stature makes him great But the greatness of his name!" Of course, my son, he is doing very well in his profession these days and stands at the head of his class at the bar in Orange County, or any other county, and it requires about three days to reach him for a five minute conference about politics law, finance, religion or divorce. But this was not always thus, my boy. Why I remember when it was different. In order to complete his education he tried to borrow a few dollars from a certain neighbor farmer, whom we shall call Jones, who was well-to-do, but the motion was denied. The lad turned away in disappointment and sadness but more than ever determined to make the grade. After midnight hours at hard study and self denial, his college days were ended. He graduated with safe grades and high honors. He set a sign in a window which yer now and are offering to broadcast legal advice to farmers. "Yes, Mr. Jones. Well, Tom, I'm sorter needin' a bit o' information an' maybe you can give it. 'I'll be glad if I can help you, Mr. Jones. I wouldn't lend you that $500 you needed because I didn't believe you were any good and maybe never would pay it back, but maybe I was mistaken and I want us to be friends: "Oh, that's all right, Mr. Jones, let by gones be by gones. Well, Tom, to make a short story long, will you tell me whether I should plant potatoes in the light o' the moon or in the dark o' the moon? Answer me that one? My advise, Mr. Jones, is to plant 'em in the ground and not in the moon at all. You can cultivate 'em better and will raise more potatoes. Haw, Haw, Haw! Tom, you're a darn sight smarter'n I thought and I'll take you advice. Much obliged and goodbye. But, Mr. Jones, my fee is $25 if you please! What do you mean $25.00? I'll not pay you a dad-burned cent. You're just one o' them college upstarts and are carrying this joke too far." Very well, Mr. Jones my two police dogs are guarding your team and will not want you to come near until you pay this account! A doctor will charge you SOCIETY EDITOR OF GAZETTE Paul Davidson Warns of Indigestion GATHERS FRUIT AT SUPERIOR There is a letter from Paul Davidson in which he explains that fruit is not fruit, and warns and sundry that his ice box frosted and his fruit (and articles) are not altogether that is for human be-but to the story.

Smitty. To both of the above: (Please, dear readers, bear with us until we get this affair straightened out to the satisfaction of all concerned). It's just too bad that the S.

And now, dozens and scores of Tom's friends are holding daily secret sessions without his knowledge, signing petitions to ask him to permit them to send him to Sacramento as our member of the State Senate from this district.
