Superintendent of Schools Mel Gauer addressed the club telling in detail the proposed plans for which the district is asked to vote bonds. "We have made a thorough and deliberate study of the situation with which we are faced," said Gauer, "and we can see no other way in which to eliminate the dangers that face us should an earthquake come. We have no choice in the matter of reconditioning some of the buildings and completely rebuilding others. This is a matter of state law." Films depicting the activities in Chevirolet construction were shown at the behest of Cone Brothers, to the members of the club.

National Guard Company Plans Recruiting In order to bring the company up to strength, Captain Dean Love, of Co.K, announces that his company will accept some recruits to make up his roster for the summer camp at San Luis Obispo. Preparations are now being made for the summer camp and recruiting offices have been opened at the local armory and one at Wilshire and Spadra Road in Fullerton. "Men who are interested in military training can, by enlisting at the present time, take in the two weeks' camp at San Luis Obispo," stated Capt. Love in making the announcement. "It is a well known fact that military training is one of the best trainings a young man can get. It fits him better to meet the problems of the commercial world as well as giving him healthy exercise. It also teaches him care of clothing and equipment, to say nothing of the rules of discipline, which he comes to understand. "Throughout life in the commercial world, discipline is a feature that marks success, and military discipline has proved in many cases the recommendation that secured better positions. There is opportunity for advancement in the National Guard." ROBT. H.EASTON ILL AT HOME HERE Robert H.

I'll tell it later... (Don't slap him on the back... he's sunburnt... or should be). After swearing Ed Keath to absolute silence... Dale Smith refuses to talk... imagine that and they've been fishing too... must've been poor going... or maybe they got 'too near the Hawaiian Islands for Dale... By golly there's one on me... called a fella French some few weeks ago and nearly got lynched... that is... I since found out that his name's Lynch... But then I got his first name right, it's Fred and he spends most of his time trying to make the struts on a plane whistle "The World Goes Round and round nearly comes up here" but not quite... He says that the reason everyone calls a ship a "she" is that when a ship gets good the nose is always in the air... hope his lady friend don't see this one... for a living he drills oil... maybe some method to that too... as long as he keeps the oil coming out of the ground... well he can still keep the ship in the air... if he don't run out of gas... He told me I was quite mistaken about the pipe throwing contest... he said it was Odie cranking his Ford. Word was received here last week that Jack Dudley won the first prize in the high school and junior college division and Harold Leduc won second prize in the elementary schools.

"Anaheim has put off the spending of this money as long as it can," said Gauer. "We have made an extensive deliberate study of the conditions of our hastened into this thing without buildings since 1934 and have not full realization of what it means. We have no alternative but to comply with the law as passed by the legislature in 1934 and concurred in by the legislature of 1935. "Our buildings are reported as in good shape as far as care is concerned, but they do not comply with the safety features of the law." He then explained the large program that has been undertaken by the city of Los Angeles, and told of Pasadena completing its program, even though the schools of the northern city were not affected materially by the earthquake in southern California. He told of the activities of the school board which had been delayed through the death of Leonard Evans and the resignation of Frank Gibbs last year. This year the board, he stated, had made a thorough study of the problem and the only manner in which the program and safety of the children could be taken care of was through a bond issue. "If there be one who can give us a plan that will take care of the problem without resorting to bonds, I will gladly accept and I am sure the members of the board would appreciate it," he concluded.

The movies, with sound attachment were then shown the membership and throughout the activities of the corporation were explained.
