Well, well, I see we have a new democratic organ in the county...a Santa Ana paper states emphatically that it is now a Bourbon mouthpiece...and...we are given to understand that it is owned by a Republican residing in Anaheim...but then Caesar or maybe it was Marc Anthony once said that "When in Rome be aroamin" or something like that. Anyway Louis Hoskins has been placed on relief...that is he isn't on the relief rolls exactly...but I'll bet it's a relief to him to know that he's on the P.O. rolls and that's relief...I imagine... Looks like the Smiths are messing things up in politics again...don't it?...But this time it's the...say what the heck do they call the followers of the long-eared beast of burden anyway...used to call 'em Demos... Notice to those desiring to have fires...It is especially requested by members of the fire department that you time your fires so that they might be extinguished with dispatch if they are to be held in the morning hours...cause 11:30 is lunch hour for the laddies...and while the baseball season is on it is urgently requested that no DISAPPEARANCE OF MAN SOLVED AS REMAINS ARE FOUND IN GROVE Native of Anaheim Believed Dead for Week; Shotgun Discovered Nearby Believed to have been dead a week, the body of A. L. Baert, 27 years of age, was found yesterday morning on the Lawrence Kraemer ranch on Orangethorpe avenue. Investgating officers are of the opinion the man had blown off his head with a shotgun. The gun was found near his body. Al Hernandez made the discovery, it was reported. Baert disappeared a week ago, it was said. The truck which he was driving when last seen was found last Thursday in the same grove in which his body was found yesterday. A search was held at that time for the body, without success, it was reported. No inquest will be held, the coroner's office announced. Baert was born in Anaheim and has lived in this vicinity all his life. His home at the time of his death was on Citrus avenue, near Yorba Linda. He is survived by BABOON CREATES HAVOC RUNNING AMOK PLACENTIA A vicious baboon broke loose from his chain, attacked three persons and disrupted a church service before being shot to death last Sunday evening at Placentia. The beast was the property of Willis Hasson, 205 Alfa street, Placentia. The first victim of the baboon's assault was Joseph T. Johndrew, a neighbor of the Hasson's, who reported he engaged in a 30-minute battle with the animal before it broke away from him and ran down the street. An unidentified Mexican girl was the next victim. The baboon then entered the Presbyterian church, it was reported, slightly scratching Miss Bobby Jerome, high school girl, and chasing Mrs. Sula D. Abbott into the pastor's study before being conceded in the choir room. There the beast is said to have destroyed song books and other effects. Police Chief Gus Barnes and two assistants were called to the scene and after several minutes' effort to capture the monkey finally loosened three gas bombs. The bombs drove the congregation. Notice to those desiring to have fires . . It is especially requested by members of the fire department that you time your fires so that they might be extinguished with dispatch if they are to be held in the morning hours . . cause 11:30 is lunch hour for the laddies . . and while the baseball season is on it is urgently requested that no fires be had in the afternoon between 2:30 and 4:30 . . so if you must have a fire time it accordingly . . thank you. You know . . it's a funny thing but just about the time that some of those fellas that try to get Dale Smith down on fishing . . they elate too soon . . Ed Keath went out with him the other day and while he admitted that the Buzzard caught more . . Ed had the Champ when it came to size . . however . . not to be outdone Dale stepped out the next day and caught a big sword fish . . I think the Buzzard claimed it weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of half a ton . . so we'll say it was about 600 lbs . . Maybe less . . anyway It was a big jun. Doc Arnold saw the rapier . . I think that's what they call the proboscus of a sword fish . . and he says it must've been pretty good size. Earl Fulfer, the only young man in Anaheim . . with one exception . . who can still drive a model T Ford has been reading about the new handles on WPA shovels and now he's about made up his mind to ask the city council for some new fashioned arm rests on his puddle jumper . . he says he'd also like a chin rest provided it has hydraulic shock absorbers. Just after writing the above I see there are three other model T's in town . . ain't that just like folks . . they have to spoil a good idea. Well anyway . . they were all passenger cars and Earl's is a shovel dump. Now that Louis Hoskins is postmaster . . he's trying to get Uncle Sam to change the color of the 2 cent stamps , , he says any-way they can get that stamp out of the red.

Reg Taylor, song leader for the Lions club, lead the members of the two clubs in singing, choosing a special Lions song and then several from the Rotary song book. The meeting was presided over by K. B. Rigby, president of the Rotary who called upon Past President Herb Eldred to introduce the members of the Lions club and give classification. Dr. Arthur J. Coons, a graduate of Anaheim schools and a native of Anaheim, but now dean of men at Occidental College was the speaker for the day, choosing as his subject "Competition". "My talk, in dealing must of a necessity have a political flavor, although partisanship in no way enters into what I have to say," said the speaker upon opening. He then told of the structure of various forms of legislature which was designed to create a bulwark to stop the depression and through this legislation the anti-trust laws had virtually been abandoned. He also told of the necessity for a return to such laws if the long ported, slightly scratching Miss Bobby Jerome, high school girl, and chasing Mrs. Sula D.

Police Chief Gus Barnes and two assistants were called to the scene and after several minutes' effort to capture the monkey finally loosened three gas bombs. The bombs drove the congregation from the church, but failed to bother the animal. Dean Hasson, father of the owner, appeared shortly afterward and killed the baboon. County health officers were reported to have found the beast suffering from rabies. Council Calls For Bids on Transformers A resolution calling for bids on electrical transformers was adopted by the Anaheim city council at its regular meeting last Tuesday evening. Distribution and constant current transformers are being sought to be purchased on an agreement to run approximately one year, the total amount of the contract to be between $1,000 and $5,000, it was said. Distribution transformers shall be in sizes from 1½ KVA to 200 KVA; constant current transformers sizes to be from five KVA to 25 XVA, the resolution specifies. The council ratified the appointment of E. L. Hund as special police officer to serve as relief man during vacation schedules. Routine business was also discussed. Co. K Preparing For Camp July 15 Now that Louis Hoskins is postmaster... he's trying to get Uncle Sam to change the color of the 2 cent stamps... he says anyway they can get that stamp out of the red. Herb Eldred proved himself to be a good mind reader at the Rotary meeting last Monday... he named all the Lyin'... beg pardon... Lion members at the meeting... but K. B. didn't try to name the Rotarians... smart I calls it. The meeting was quite lively, however, there wasn't an undertaker in the crowd: Was going to reserve comment on Jim Bouldin being on the list of ping pong boys for next Sunday's old timers' baseball game in Los Angeles... but well he's one of the Sons of sumpin or other... maybe they'll put him in charge of the bull pen... he's listed as a pitcher????? Well, the boss says I gotta get busy now... so I'll try to give you some fire works for next week. Relief Officer Appointed Here Everett L. Hund began his duties as city patrolman last Saturday, according to Police Chief James S. Bouldin. Hund joined the police department as relief man, filling in for regular officers during their vacation periods, Bouldin said. He will remain on the department until October 1. "My talk, in dealing must of a necessity have a political flavor, although partisanship in no way enters into what I have to say," said the speaker upon opening. He then told of the structure of various forms of legislature which was designed to create a bulwark to stop the depression and through this legislation the anti-trust laws had virtually been abandoned. He also told of the necessity for a return to such laws if the long established capitalistic system were to be maintained. "We have knowledge that the capitalistic system in this country is a proven system, and until we can find a substitute we must strive for such a system. I do not mean to eliminate a minimum wage, although that is part of the system, but I do think we should look to a controlled competition," said Coons. The speaker then told of the springing up of price control organizations which bordered very closely upon monopolies. These he stated must be eliminated in the cause of the consumer and allow the consumer, who is the ultimate in economics, a chance. Affect of various types of legislation curtailing productivity were also assailed by the speaker as being contrary to the system under which this country prospered. Officials Plan Attend Meeting Several Anaheim city officials will attend the June meeting of the Orange County League of Municipalities tonight at Huntington Beach, according to City Clerk Charles Griffith. John L. Bland, deputy city prosecutor for the city of Los Angeles, will be the speaker, it was said. Co. K Preparing For Camp July 15 Major Don Winans and Capt. Dean Love are very busy men in getting affairs straightened out for the National Guard encampment which starts on July 15. Capt. Love will take Company K to Pasadena where he will join with the battalions who will journey from there to San Luis Obispo where two full weeks face the men. Major Winans commanding one of the battalions of the 185th Infantry states that a most interesting program has been arranged for this year's encampment, and the men who take it in will be more than repaid for the time spent at the camp. Last Rites Held For Mrs. Gossett Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for the late Mrs. W. S. Gossett, 69, at the Christian Church in Glendora, where she passed away last Sunday. Mrs. Gossett was a resident of Anaheim from 1920 to 1925. She leaves her husband, two sons, Glenn B. of Fullerton and Paul E. of Coldwater, Kan., and two daughters, Mrs. A. B.

Ninety-five percent of all accidents in California could and should have been avoided, Capt. Meehan declared. An additional three percent could have been avoided if automobiles involved had been in good mechanical condition, he said.

These reports must be made at the nearest patrol office within 24 hours of the accident both by persons involved and by the investigating officer.

According to records the little Lomeli daughter of Mr. and Mrs. WARNING ISSUED BY FIRE CHIEF ON FIRE HAZARD Six persons were burned when a fireworks factory in New York caught fire and exploded last month, according to Fire Chief R. Nyboe. The spectacular nature of the explosion and fire, which broke windows and bombarded the neighborhood with Roman candles and aerial bombs, attracted a great deal of attention, and proved the hazard of such industries. But the worst hazard of fireworks is not when they are in the process of manufacture, although it is bad enough there. It is when the products are finished and sold to children and young people that they do the most damage. Six persons were injured in the New York fire—yet thousands will be burned and many probably killed by fireworks on the fourth of next month. If all the injuries and deaths from fireworks on the Fourth of July every year happened in one place we would regard it as a terrible catastrophe, and take steps to prevent its recurrence. "Yet," says the Chief, "every year we allow our children to play with fireworks and merely hope OLD TIMERS TO JOIN IN ANNUAL PICNIC SUNDAY AT IRVINE PARK Memories of Pioneer Days To Be Recalled by Early Settlers Pioneers of Orange county and their families will relive in memory the days of decades ago when this county was a sparsely settled area whose hardy folk were building the great Orange county of today when they meet Sunday noon in Irvine park for the annual Old Timers picnic. Thousands of members of the first families of the county and their friends have been participating each year in the picnic, with attendance growing consistently, J. M. Backs, president of the Old Timers Picnic association, declared. The association is anticipating a record crowd next Sunday. Many of the old timers come several hundred miles to attend the function, Backs said. Each person is to furnish his own lunch and dishes, it was announced. The picnic association will provide coffee, sugar, cream, ice water and cold punch. Backs urged those unable New York fire—yet thousands will be burned and many probably killed by fireworks on the fourth of next month. If all the injuries and deaths from fireworks on the Fourth of July every year happened in one place we would regard it as a terrible catastrophe, and take steps to prevent its recurrence. "Yet," says the Chief, "every year we allow our children to play with fireworks and merely hope that they won't be injured. It is only natural for parents to be anxious to give their children every pleasure, but when the pleasure endangers their lives, they should be denied." The Chief pointed out that Fourth of July can best be celebrated by picnics or other activities in which the whole family can join, topped off by an evening watching a supervised fireworks display. These displays more than take the place of firecrackers and other individual pieces, and are not dangerous. A warning to property owners was also issued by the fire department. Buildings, both residential and mercantile, should be tightly closed unless they are to be watched carefully on the Fourth. There have been cases on record of fireworks being tossed through windows, doors or other openings. Inside, they exploded and caused disastrous fires. Boy Scout Camp To Open July 6 Camp Ro-Ki-Li, the boy scout camp located in the San Bernardino mountains will open on Monday, July 6, according to an announcement made this week. The camp, situated 7,000 miles above sea level, is under the direction of a camp committee composed of R. W. Balch, Roy Hale, W. K. Hillyard, C. R. Crook, Kenneth Kessler and Ray Overacker. Danger of Single Tax Is Told at Meeting of Building Association Members of the Orange County Building and Loan League, representing the building-loan associations of this county, were warned at dinner meeting at the Hughes Cafe, Fullerton, Thursday night that Danger of Single Tax Is Told at Meeting of Building Association Members of the Orange County Building and Loan League, representing the building-loan associations of this county, were warned at dinner meeting at the Hughes Cafe, Fullerton, Thursday night that every vote for repeal of the sales tax November 3rd will be a vote for establishment of the single tax on land in California that will lead directly into social revolution and communism. The speaker was Neil Davis, secretary-treasurer of the California Building-Loan League, an association of 97 per cent of all building-loan resources in the State. Walter J. Cadman, president of the county league, presided. Davis told how the "deceptive" wording of the amendment was really a trick that would actually place upon land a tax burden of more than $370,000,000 annually and that less than $50,000,000 would be derived from all other taxes. "With taxes levied upon land values alone there will be an immediate default on vacant and non-productive land. The amount of this delinquency will be thrust upon other landowners. This excess burden will cause more delinquencies, greater penalties and new burdens on those still able to pay...a vicious cycle of pyramiding culminating in the closing of shops, factories, hotels, etc.; widespread unemployment and poverty, and a general tax strike leaving all land forfeited to the State." "The bait of the sales tax repeal is enticing to the unthinking voter," he added. "Others not carefully analysing the true facts may think they can reduce the tax bill or escape taxation altogether through this measure which also provides for repeal of ad valorem personal property and land improvement taxes gradually over five years. But the entire single tax plan is a dream based on a fallacy. New factories, stores, homes, buildings, etc., will not rise on non-income producing land as proponents of the measure contend. The fallacy is that we do not have a constantly increasing population and our production facilities now are many times more than our power to consume the products and services of these existing facilities." In conclusion, Davis urged the cooperation of all public spirited citizens to publicize the trup facts underlying the "sales tax repeal" slogan. Mr. and Mrs. Hansen and son are spending two weeks vacation in the Lake Tahoe region and at Reno, Nevada. While at the latter city Mr. Hansen will attend the Lions' district convention.
