Kimmell used the Craig bill as the topic of his discussion. The bill which was passed by the state legislature and later declared unconstitutional by the appellate court created a fishing preserve along the Orange county shoreline for the purpose of protecting sportsmen from the evils of unrestrained commercial fishing. "Sportsmen spend upwards of $100,000,000 annually in pursuit of their favorite pastime in California, and an industry of that magnitude must be protected," the speaker said.

"It was necessary to go in there with the medical forces and eliminate yellow fever and malaria before any work could be accomplished," he said, "then with this sanitation completed it was difficult to obtain labor that would work straight through. Finally the negroes of Jamaica came in and proved not only adept with the work but amenable to discipline such as was necesary upon the big project." Lieut. Quarton then explained the function of the various military units in the canal zone and answered questions put to him by members of the club. Tom McFadden was put "on the spot" at the club by George Reid who stated in a "political" speech that all democrats were going to support Tom "even if he didn't have sense enough to be a democrat."

Kiwanians Hear Skyway History A brief outline of the history of airlines in the United States and a discussion of the operation of airlines today featured Tuesday's meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at the Elks clubhouse. George L. Stehlke, district traffic manager of the United Airlines, was the speaker. Stehlke opened his talk with the statement that flying is just as safe as any other means of transportation. Some of the basic safety factors he listed are that planes are now equipped with either two or four engines, each has two pilots, three radios, and duplicate control boards. Airplanes first came into general use during the World War, Stehlke said. Following the war airplane building was an important industry in Europe. The United States, he said, was considerably slower in the field for many years. In 1930 the postoffice department first became interested in using airplanes for mail transportation. The government operated the airmail lines until 1927 when they were sold to private interests, the speaker said. It was in the following year that passenger business had its inception, but it was not until 1929 that air transportation began on a large scale, Stehlke said. Night flying is highly popular at the present time, the speaker declared. Use of powerful beacons each 10 miles on an air route and the employment of a radio device for following airplanes has made this possible, he pointed out. Aircraft business in the United States shows an increase of 43 per cent this year over last year, the speaker said. In the three and one-half years the United Airlines have been in operation the company has lost only one plane, he for public inspection of the building and the methods of the postal department will be thoroughly explained."
