The council decided to proceed with installation of water mains at various intersections crossing Manchester boulevard. Plans for the project originally called for governmental assistance, but because the W. P. A. officials have not yet taken action on the application the council decided to go ahead with preliminary work at the city's expense. Mayor Charles H. Mann outlined briefly to members of the council the plans for the year of the California League of Municipalities, which he said, will be directed toward the retaining of benefits already obtained by the cities in past legislation. There is no particular program outlined for the organization at this time, he said. Routine discussion of the activities of the various departments was also held. It was announced that the plunge at the city park had been closed Tuesday after a successful season. Wray to Speak At Club Forum Leon Wray was elected Tuesday by members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club to represent that organization in a forum contest among clubs of division four to be held next Tuesday evening at Whittier. Wray was chosen after he and Arthur Porter had given talks on "Kiwanis in Civic Leadership in 1936" in the final contest among members of the Anaheim club. Their talks provided the entertainment of the regular weekly meeting. In his speech Wray stressed the understanding between individuals, organizations, and nations that is established through affiliation with the Kiwanis clubs. Spain, he said, has no Kiwanis organization.

Crill, agricultural leader of Garden Grove, Don Smiley, El Modeno, Ross Shafer, Tustin, and Judge D. J. Dodge, Costa Mesa. This group will meet early next week to choose an additional committee of 50, which will act as a clearing house for the county' water problems. These leaders will determine the basis of Orange county's joining the MWD, if it is deemed advisable to join, and to educate the public on important Organization of such a committees of the water problems heree was authorized some weeks ago at a mass meeting at Laguna Beach of members of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, the Orange County Coast association, directors and officers of the MWD and other water leaders. In the meantime, directors of the Orange County Water district are proceeding with plans to conserve as much water as possible which comes down the Santa Ana river. A deal was completed Tuesday in which the district purchased 26.11 acres of land on each side of the river at the Jefferson street bridge. John Walls, the owner, received $23 an acre for the property. A temporary conservation works will be constructed at the site, it was said, with plans being laid for a permanent works at a later date. Miss Kruse will discuss every phase of cooking, with emphasis upon the new ease and simplicity in meal preparation made possible through developments in low-temperature cookery, increased efficiency of new ranges, and a greater understanding of food values. In her repertoire are dozens of delightful recipes, ranging from the hearty man-size dishes, to the fluffy concoctions suited to an afternoon of bridge, or a surprise party for the bride-to-be. Tempting meal-in-one courses, delicious meat dishes, and appetizing salads will associate with recipes for festive occasions, and each will be presented in a clear-cut and entertaining manner by Miss Kruse during the three-day series of meetings. Housewives will appreciate and enjoy every minute of each session, and those in attendance will receive many additional surprises not to be announced before the school. The whole program is being planned with an eye to the extremely practical, and useful ideas capable of immediate application in the average kitchen will be discussed during each session. It is the goal of those in charge to make this the most interesting and valuable cookery course ever attempted in Anaheim. In addition to the other attractive features, many valuable prizes will be given each day, and all together this cooking school will be one that no woman can afford to miss. Six People Hurt In Truck Mishap Six persons, all from Arkansas, received injuries in an automobile accident Saturday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock when trucks driven by Truman Webb of Lynn, Ark., and Marion Dunn, 1202 W. Pine street, Santa Ana, collided at the intersection of Broadway and Lemon street, according to reports made to the Anaheim police department. The six injured persons, all of whom were taken to the Anaheim sanitarium for treatment, are Webb, Miss Mary Webb, and Miss Arthur Porter had given talks on "Kiwanis in Civic Leadership in 1936" in the final contest among members of the Anaheim club. Their talks provided the entertainment of the regular weekly meeting. In his speech Wray stressed the understanding between individuals, organizations, and nations that is established through affiliation with the Kiwanis clubs. Spain, he said, has no Kiwanis organization. Spaniards' lack of understanding of each other is evidenced in the present civil war. One reason for the friendliness between the United States and Canada, the speaker said, is because Kiwanis clubs are found in both nations. Arthur Porter outlined the many ways in which Kiwanis clubs and their members lead in civic enterprises. Kiwanians assume responsibilities, he said, and carry the tasks undertaken through to completion. One of the principles of Kiwanians is the Golden Rule, he declared.

A new feature was added to the program when the group decided to open the two-day carnival with a costume dance to be held Thursday evening at the Anaheim Elks clubhouse. Definite plans for the dance were not completed, but it was the opinion of the group that the participants in the affair should all be in costumes appropriate to Hallowe’en. Continuance of the horse show which has previously been a part of the celebration has not been decided yet, Eldred declared. The problem of where to hold the show has not been worked out satisfactorily, it was said. Exhibitors have indicated satisfaction with the proposal to hold the show on the site of the new LaPalma park and opposition has been expressed to using the present city park because of damage to the turf.

Leo Friis Urges Law Observance Law evasion by the citizens of the United States is tending to create much disrespect for the constitution, Leo J. Friis, Anaheim attorney, declared Monday in his address to members of the Rotary club. Ignoring of traffic laws and breaking of minor statutes is bringing about a tendency to break all laws, the speaker said. Friis advocated the discarding of much of what is now called law, or the observance of all laws by every person as a remedy for the situation. Constitution week was commemorated by S. C. Hartranft in a short talk on the constitution. Marriage is Aided By Packard Agency In a wedding service arranged with the cooperation of the Hill and Nealer Motor company, Pearl B.
