The tideland drilling measure prohibits further drilling on tidelands and provides that royalties now obtained from present drilling be turned over to the state for beach maintenance. The gasoline tax bill requires that all tax money be devoted to maintenance and construction of highways. Plans were also laid at the meeting to welcome a motorcade from the Los Angeles Junior chamber of commerce, which will be here Sept. 3 on an advertising tour in connection with the national air races, and to be the host city to this group at luncheon.

Jewelry valued at about $220, including a lady's wrist watch, diamond bar pin, broach set with pearls, cameo pin, string of pearls, lodge pin, fountain pen and gold socket, was taken. Police were unable to determine how the burglar gained entrance. The Adams family expressed the belief they had locked all doors when they left the house. When they returned the back door was standing open. No other evidence of entrance was found. A watch valued at $22.50 and a silver cigarette case, which had been a gift and the owner was unable to set a value, were stolen from the Strodthoff home. Entrance has been gained there, investigating officers said, by forcing open a back window with a pinch bar. Strodthoff told officers that other things may have been stolen from the drawer in which he kept the watch and case, but he hadn’t missed anything definitely. Fifty-five dollars in currency was taken from the Montgomery home, police said. Montgomery told police, they said, he had about $90 in his trousers pocket when he retired Friday night. Saturday morning he discovered $55 of it gone. Four Injured In Accidents Here Four persons were slightly injured in a series of three traffic accidents in Anaheim over the past week end. None were injured enough to receive more than emergency treatment, according to Anaheim police records. The victims were Milton McMillan, 123 S. Claudina; Marion Riley, 714 N. Los Angeles street; Ted McKinley, 305 E. Adele street; and Pauline Carrion, 224 W. Oast street. McMillan and Miss Riley were hurt when automobiles operated by McMillan and James Glen Reinert, 761 N. Clementine, collided at the intersection of North and Zeyn streets Sunday at 4:10 o’clock. Miss Riley was riding with Reinert, according to police Thomas L. MacFadden (above) easily defeated his two opponents for the republican nomination for state senator from Orange County. Townsend Club Vote is Heavy Support Given Sheppard and Riley Reveals Strength Of Organization Strength of the Townsend organization in Orange county was evidenced in Tuesday’s primary elections, particularly in the vote given Harry R. Sheppard of San Bernardino, democratic candidate for congress, and Harry D. Riley supervisorial candidate from the third district. Sheppard’s total of 7,690 votes in Orange county is considered by political observers to have come almost entirely from supporters of the Townsend movement. His poll came within 1,000 votes of equaling those of Sam Collins, Ray Atkinson and N. E. West, Orange county’s own candidates for the nomination. The Townsend-endorsed candidate also drew overwhelming support in San Bernardino and River-side counties. Success of Riley in leading the candidates in the third supervisorial district is also attributed to support of Townsend club members. Riley, however, ran well behind W. J. Carmichael in Fullerton. Carmichael claimed support of the Townsend clubs in that city. Their combined totals in Fullerton virtually equalled those of the other three candidates, LeRoy Lyon, S. James Tuffree and A. F. Parra. In Anaheim Riley received 1,230 votes, the largest number cast for any one candidate in the contests. Sheppard polled 812 votes here, 200 more than the combined totals of his opponents. Drunk Driver Fined And License Voided Pleading guilty to a charge of driving while drunk, Albert Allen, 33, of 617 E.

A report was made of the success of the float in the Tournament of Lights. The Anaheim entry was second place in the civic division. Dr. C. G. Huston of Costa Mesa explained the set-up in regards to the county entering the Metropolitan Water District, explaining Col. S. H. Finley’s stand in attempting to have the county enter as an individual district, allowing more votes on the board. It is now planned to organize a committee of interested people to confer with the MWD board in discussing the costs and other questions which may arise, he said. E. A.

Advertising should be a mirror of the store, telling the public what the store has to offer in merchandise. It must make the reader of the advertisement want the merchandise more than she wants her money Kemp added. The speaker warned against advertising to cover mistakes in purchasing. He said the three cardinal points in advertising are price appeal, style appeal and utility. Kemp outlined briefly the history of Dollar Day in Hollywood and suggested many ways the Anaheim merchants may improve their own community sales events. Building up the customer's confidence in the store and the merchandise advertised is probably the most important factor in a successful sales event, he pointed out.
