ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County APPEARING IN THE FOLLOWING: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Santa Ana Bulletin Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Placentia Courfer Anahiem Gazette Seal Beach News La Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress REPUBLICANS THINKING Politically minded folks in Orange county are beginning to stir their stumps and think about the primary campaign now opening, in which both parties will nominate candidates for congress, state senate and assembly, with two supervisor positions at stake on the non-partisan ticket. A little investigation shows that the old guard of wheelhorse republicans have been doing considerable thinking on the subject, especially as to congress and senate races. It is evident that a change of sentiment is taking place with reference to the former. One of the leading republicans of long standing, and a member of the county organization for many years, said this week that a good many of that crowd are fed up with Collins. It is the expectation that Ray Adkinson will be in the position of representing the conservative side of things., as against others who are supposed to favor radical ideas of one kind or another. It is also the expectation that N. E. West will put on the most strenuous personal campaign. In the senate race Tom McFadden probably will receive most of the "regular" republican support. At the moment there is some highway patrol was heard, and also of asking the governor to call out the national guard. There is none too much cooperation between the highway patrol and the sheriff's department. There has been some friction and feeling there all along. Opinions also differ as to which one is right and which is most effective. The sheriff's special deputy organization has been costing the county about $300 a day, it is estimated. The highway patrol costs about half that much. The county does not pay the state men's salaries, but does pay their expenses while on the job here. ASKS SALARY UP County employees have asked a salary increase of 15 per cent. They say they accepted a reduction in pay to help out during the depression, but think they should be put back to the old basis now. The supervisors will take the matter under careful consideration, viewing it somewhat in its political aspects, and the probable result will be that those employees who get less than $100 a month will receive an increase. Those in the higher brackets may have to wait. Some employees get as low as $65 a month, yet there are always plenty of applicants looking... with Collins. It is the expectation that Ray Adkinson will be in the position of representing the conservative side of things., as against others who are supposed to favor radical ideas of one kind or another. It is also the expectation that N. E. West will put on the most strenuous personal campaign. In the senate race Tom McFadden probably will receive most of the "regular" republican support. At the moment there is some hesitation on the part of those who are not particularly enthusiastic over him, as they can't figure much chance for his competitors. It is said that Joe Smith of Santa Ana will not command anything like general support in the county seat. The chief question seems to be how strongly the coast area will back Dr. Huston of Costa Mesa. In the north end assembly district Tom Kuchel, young Anaheim attorney, seems to have fallen heir to the regular republican support. The strength of Tom Craig will be mostly behind him. He has been doing a good deal of campaigning and speaking already and has made a surprisingly strong impression. In the south end the opinion appears to favor Jimmie Utt as practically a sure shot to go back to Sacramento. These observations and deductions mostly have to do with the situation on the republican side. The democratic lay-out still is very much unsettled. The two supervisorial situations likewise. There will be plenty of time to deal with them as the circumstances clarify and begin to crystallize. There was more dynamite in the citrus strike situation this week than at any time yet, according to the sheriff and other officials. Things looked pretty serious on Monday. Talk of asking for more help from the state GOOD WISHES ONLY The lawsuits in which the newspapers of the county have been trying to collect for some advertising they did on order of the board of supervisors during the first water bond election last fall has some very peculiar twists. The papers, which have several thousand dollars at stake in past-due bills, are caught between two contending forces—the supervisors and the auditor. All hands admit the papers should be paid. The supervisors, who o.k.-ed the bills, say the pay should come from the county flood control district. The auditor says the supervisors should be made to pay from their private purses. The supervisors say they believe the charge is a legal one and could be so proved in court. Yet it is only now, after all these months, that they have shown a disposition to cooperate with the suffering plaintiffs in so proving it. So far it has been a case of everyone claiming to want to see the newspapers get their pay, but no one willing to help them get it. Will Maintain Wage Standard Despite Ruling The minimum wage standard maintained in California by Safeway Stores, Inc., will definitely remain a part of the company's future policy toward its employees. This statement was issued by H. S. Wright, Safeway district Wage Standard Despite Ruling The minimum wage standard maintained in California by Safeway Stores, Inc., will definitely remain a part of the company's future policy toward its employees. This statement was issued by H. S. Wright, Safeway district manager for Anaheim in light of the recent decision by the United States Supreme Court holding a minimum wage law for women in New York as unconstitutional. As a result of the high tribunal's ruling there has been expressed in authoritative circles grave concern over the legality of the California minimum wage law for women, he said. Safeway Stores, Inc., which employs many hundreds of women in its California stores, hastened to assure all its workers that the company itself would voluntarily maintain its own minimum wage levels and continue to support its policy of "fair wages to all." "Inasmuch as the highest court in the nation has declared that minimum wage scales are not compulsory on industry we wish to reassure employees and the public that our future policy would not be altered in event this state's minimum wage law was ruled from the statute books. Such decisions would have no effect on our policy of fair treatment to all those engaged in any type of labor with our stores in California," he said. LOOKING UNDER THE LID A piece in the paper says Alfwears the same sized hat that he did before he got the nomination. To Appear Baseball Game In accepting the benefit of the "Leading Men" battle with the "Comedie screen on Saturday July 18, at Wrigley I have never seen Up for any event in Hollywood. Those ledged to play in the greatest Baseball Game are: Bing Crosby,old, James Gleason,astrong, Lew Ayers,Leo Carrillo, Jackie Mulhall, Ben Alex-Burns, Harry-Ruby, Newitz, Wally Ford,nett, Norman Foster, Eddie Cantor, Frank Silvers, Stuart Ernell and Durant, Caeser Enrol, Dick Powell, Sr., Clarence Museckmer, Hugh Herbert, Lee Tracy, Ricardo Benny, Darryl Zan-ristiskin, Dichard Cromank Morgan. CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF If the sunflower state is in the prairie sector what, for the love of Mike, is the State of the Golden West? the benefit of the Mount Sinai Hospital will be the outstanding athletic event of the year. Harry Ruby, famed song writer and scenarist, America's Baseball Fan No. 1, is already wagering with all of his friend that the Line-Up for the July 18 Game at Wrigley Field will outdraw the National and American League All Star Game." Eddie Cantor at the Microphone calling all of the plays; Bing Crosby crooning to those who are struck out and Jack Oakie twirling his mustache in fits of anger at the decision of the umpire, will all be part of the tremendous action that will draw thousands to Wrigley Field on that Day. Edward Arnold "Diamond Jim," says that Wrigley Field will turn them away on the Eighteenth with the Leading Men playing Baseball and the Comedians pulling gags. Dick Powell will attempt to prove that he is the fastest runner in pictures." Making Preparations For County Fair at Pomona Sept. 18 - Oct. Marking one of the important initial steps in the intensive campaign in preparation for the fifteen annual combined, Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside County Fair in Pomona Sept 18 to Oct. 14 inclusive, the task of mailing out over 30,000 premium books to as many prospective exhibitors throughout this and a dozen other countries is now well under way at the fair offices. An idea of the magnitude to which the exposition has grown is contained in the fact that the premium list this year contains over 10,000 different competitive classifications in a score of major divisions. This year, in order to facilitate the handling of the books, the premium list is published in six volumes as follows: Agriculture and horticulture; livestock; poultry, pigeons and rabbits; household arts; junior fair and night horse show. In addition to these is the racing catalogue. From inquiries and reservations already received from the mands for entry blanks premium books, it is estimated fair officials that there will be the neighborhood of 15,000 individual exhibitors this fall and they will enter between 35 and 40,000 exhibits. In 1935 there were 12,000 exhibitors and 300 exhibits. Contents of the premium book form an interesting catalogue of the diversity of products of land and factory in the west. The agricultural volume alone shows 1500 different kinds of fruit vegetables, nuts and grain. So 2000 different breeds and varieties of poultry, pigeons and rabbits are listed for judging, work will find 1000 opportunities display their handwork in sapling, cooking, baking and farm work. In livestock awards be made in 700 classifications including beef and dairy cattle horses, mules, hogs, sheep goats.

Smith, reserve officers' corps, featured Friday's meeting of the Anaheim Lions club at the Elks clubhouse. Smith told of the difficulties of signing the Declaration of Independence and touched on some of the important factors leading to the adoption of the document. Fingerprinting of all American citizens was advocated by the speaker as a method of improving the nation. George Holden also talked briefly on the Declaration of Independence. Sam Hilgenfeld, recently returned from a vacation trip throughout the east, told of his tour and of his visits to other Lions clubs. Bill Gordon was program chairman for the meeting. In all the books there are important additions both in the number and range of the classifications and the amount of prize money offered. The task of mailing out all of the books will require several days. LOOKIT, FELLERS. HERE COMES ANOTHER BAND WAGON A disgruntled congressman from the northwest, who by the way has a winsome smile, has chucked his hat into the ring for president on what he calls the Union ticket. He has the farmers on his side who earn their bread by the sweat of their brows and they have no use for chisselers and those who carressingly lean on the handle of a hoe. The candidate says he can carry twelve states as a come on proposition with more to follow. Whoops! Telephone 3456 THOMAS H. KUCHEL Lawyer 403 Bk. America Bldg., Anaheim NNERS!
