Haven't been able to say much on fishing lately... must be Dale's busy... er something... By the way heard Dale arguing a point the other day... some bird was trying... get that trying... COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE TUES. STOPPING DRINK ON CITY STREETS Fire Hall Contract Is Held Up Pending New Set-up Drinking of intoxicants on the streets or in automobiles in Anaheim has been banned under the provisions of a new ordinance passed by the city council Tuesday night. The ordinance is an amendment to a previous statute on the city books. The new act provides that "it shall be unlawful for any person or persons to consume any intoxicating liquor while upon any public street, sidewalk, park or alley within the City of Anaheim, or to consume any intoxicating liquor while being in an automobile or other motor driven vehicle upon any public street, alley or parkway within the city of Anaheim." It also provides that the term intoxicating liquor shall be defined as intoxicating liquor by the Liquor Control Act of the State of California. Harold Lang Is Rotary Speaker A craft talk featured the meeting of the Rotary Club last Monday noon when Claude H. Russell, acting program chairman introduced Harold Lang, a member of the club and manager of the Spray Chemical Co., here. Lang told of the various insects which cost the fruit growers untold grief along with consider able expense and the methods used in combatting the pests. He stated that a large number of the pests were imported. Ironically enough a great many of them from Florida. Also he stated that in many cases the pests in other climes were harmless but upon coming here adopted a new host and created much damage. He explained the actions of the armoured types and those which carried no protection. He explained the necessity for studying each type in order to create a chemical that would destroy the pest and yet leave the tree unharmed. The meeting was conducted by President K. B. Rigby.

Sentence To Be Pronounced On Forbes Friday Craig Will Not Seek Re-Election Speaker Ted Craig, of Brea, has definitely decided not to seek reelection for the Assembly from the Seventy-fifth District. Craig, it was learned, has accepted an important position with the Industrial Fuel Supply Company and will maintain offices in Anaheim and Los Angeles. The Industrial Fuel Supply Company owns and operates gas compressor plants in practically all of the oil fields of Southern California and handles the majority of the natural gas produced in these fields. When contacted concerning his future plans, Craig stated that, while it was no easy matter to quit public office, he felt most fortunate in having the opportunity of becoming associated with such a splendid business concern as Industrial Fuel Supply Company. The Industrial Fuel Supply Company since its establishment in 1919, has been closely identified with Orange county, its first compressor plant having been built at Placentia. Its president Le Roy M. Edwards, is a native of Santa Ana, and S. W. Todd, vice president, has been a resident of Orange county for more than twenty-five years past. Craig stated that he is more than grateful for the fine support given him in his past four campaigns by the voters of all parties. He made it plain that his new position will in no way hinder his continued interest in behalf of Orange county. CAPT. RUSSELL R. HAND SPEAKS TO TOWNSEND MASS MEETING SAT. Flailing both political parties and appealing for organized support for Townsend candidates in the coming congressional election, Captain Russell R. Hand, and purposeful in its provisions for the general welfare to include the objectives of the Townsend plan when enacted into law without any changes being written into Sentence To Be Pronounced On Forbes Friday Sentence will be pronounced tomorrow (Friday) morning at 9:30 o'clock by Superior Judge G. K. Scovel against Alexander Forbes of Anaheim, who was convicted Tuesday night of negligent homicide, with a recommendation for leniency made by the jury. He was acquitted by the same jury on a charge of driving while intoxicated. Forbes faces a term of from one to three years in the state penitentiary. Charges were filed against the Anaheim man as a result of an accident February 1, last, in which David Schmitt, 9, and Milton Semidt, 11, sons of Elmer Schmidt, were killed. Schmidt, Forbes and Jimmy Heffron of Anaheim were all seriously injured in the crash. Braille System Explained Here Miss Bessie M. Sawyer, blind girl of Orange, under the auspices of the Red Cross and under the immediate direction of Mrs. L. R. Warren, county secretary, gave demonstrations at the George Washington school to the upper grades the fore part of the week. Miss Sawyer also spoke to the students of La Palma and Fremont schools. Flailing both political parties and appealing for organized support for Townsend candidates in the coming congressional election, Captain Russell R. Hand, assistant western regional director, addressed a mass meeting of more than 2,500 Orange county Townsend club members at the Greek theater last Saturday night. "Townsend politics can not be construed on partisan politics," the speaker said. "Each of the two major political parties has had a fair chance and each has signally failed to solve the nation's problems. The only adequate recovery proposal before the American people is that presented by the O.A.R.P." Capt. Hand declared that the objectives of the followers of the Epic philosophy and of the Townsend plan coincide in that each is seeking social justice, although methods of the two groups in reaching the goal are different. He expressed the belief that the bulk of Epic votes would be cast for Townsend candidates in the August primaries. He charged the present Congress with having surrendered their powers to the national executive instead of functioning as intended under the constitution. He also accused the present administration as being a party to the forces opposing the Townsend plan by its failure to protest at methods used in fighting the plan. The speaker laid particular emphasis upon his belief that the constitution is sufficiently flexible and purposeful in its provisions for the general welfare to include the objectives of the Townsend plan when enacted into law without any changes being written into the document. Capt. Hand closed his address by reciting the poem, "In Flanders Fields," and suggesting that the fight being waged by the Townsend groups for social justice was in reality giving honor to "those who had paid the supreme price for their country." Among prominent Townsend leaders who attended the mass meeting were Charles LeRoy Heiser, Glendale, connected with the organization of young people's Townsend clubs, Ted E. Felt, state area manager of the 12th and 19th Congressional districts, Walter R. Robb, Orange county organizer Dr. Harry C. Wilhelm, Dan Clummer, Mrs. Ida Freeman and Mrs. H. C. Hunt, all connected with Anaheim clubs, Herbert F. Kenny of Santa Ana and Walter Schultz, president of Fullerton Club No. 2. Entertainment was furnished by the Lewellyn orchestra of Anaheim and Gordon Drew, Fullerton singer. Harry D. Riley of Anaheim was chairman.
