May I take this opportunity to thank all you kind folk who have extended your sympathies in the death of my father... It is a rather hard thing to write about, but I know of no better way to thank you for your kind words: To lose a pal of long standing, one who has... or at least... attempted to guide in the footsteps of right, perhaps many times foregone personal pleasures to see that you were properly prepared to meet the problems of life and at the same time be a pal... well, even though you are more or less prepared for the inevitable it is nevertheless a shock... but in leaving us "kids" he has gone to join his "pal of 50 years". Again let me say I appreciate all the kind words I have received since returning. And here's a new system... Something entirely new... that is being worked in San Francisco... as you're walking along the street... this happened to be Fifth and Market... a very timid young lady steps up and begs your pardon... well what gentleman will ignore a timid plea... well, then she wants to know "will you help me out by taking CITY UTILITIES PROVE FINANCIAL SUCCESS, FISCAL YEAR OF 1936-37 Returns in Excess of $100,000 Reported At Board Meet Profits from the department of light, power and water of the city of Anaheim totalled well over $100,000 during the fiscal year 1935-36 which ended April 30, according to the annual report filed by Vard W.

Three Injured Auto Accidents Over Week End Three persons were slightly injured in two automobile accidents in Anaheim over the past week end, according to reports made to Anaheim police. And here's a new system... Something entirely new... that is being worked in San Francisco... as you're walking along the street... this happened to be Fifth and Market... a very timid young lady steps up and begs your pardon... well what gentleman will ignore a timid plea... well, then she wants to know "will you help me out by taking out a subscription to a magazine..." Well, anyway, it was a little different from "brother can you spare a dime..." And, too, a little different than being helped through college... Would've stopped in San Luis Obispo to see the "gang from Anaheim"... but didn't get there till nigh onto midnight and knowing the instructions given by Fritz Yungbluth to the boys when they left, thought I hadn't better wake 'em up... Course, Major Don Winans can't stand late hours anyway and Dean Love... well, he goes to bed early even when he's home... (course, Jim Bouldin's curfew might have something to do with it... Did stop at a ranch up north and picked some apricots... the ranchers up there had a little communistic trouble... all they did was to give the agitators the choice of two things... either leave the country in their own conveyances or the ranchers would furnish transportation... on a rail... they chose the former and the trouble ended. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of difference around here since the strike ended... except now Judges Tausch, Kuchel and Spence can sit back and enjoy the sunshine like the rest of us... maybe, too, the sheriff can take time to oil his irons and rub out the ridges on his biceps where the artillery was anchored... Course Admiral feels better cause he don't have to worry about Two-Gun Murphy shooting up oranges for practice and scaring his boys into the riot room... (In case you don't know it "Admiral" is our own handsome chief). And speaking of the Chief... there's a certain good looking Routine matters occupied the attention of the board during the session.
