FEDERAL FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR GYM-STRUCTURE Architect Drawing Plans of Basketball Floor for High School here Anaheim union high school's program to construct a modern gymnasium is near a reality today following the announcement Monday by Works Progress administration officials in Washington that $31,845 has been allocated to this district for that purpose. The grant will be used to aid in the construction of the first unit of the project, which will be a basketball playing floor, Principal J. A. Clayes announced. An estimated $65,000 will be required for the first unit, Clayes said. The regular budget for the school district will provide the remaining necessary funds. The entire gymnasium construction program calls for the building of a swimming pool, girls and boys locker rooms and other gymnasium equipped buildings in addition to the basketball floor, the principal said. The new building will be of reinforced concrete, built along the lines of the recently completed main building. Its area will be 80 by 120 feet. Plans are now being prepared by T. C. Kistner, school architect, and are expected to be submitted to Sacramento. Walnut Season To Open Here Tomorrow The Anaheim Walnut association packing house will start its season's activity tomorrow, it was announced by Walter J. Ross, when walnuts will be received. Sorting and packing will begin early next week, the house manager said. Delivered eastern prices, as announced by Ross, will be 19½ cents for large budded Diamonds, 18 cents for fancy medium Eurekas, 17½ cents for No. 1 soft shells, 16½ cents for medium budded, 14½ cents for Eureka baby emeralds and 12¾ cents for Sun-tand. Prices will be increased this year, Ross said, because of the reduction in supply of almost all other nuts.

After approval by the state the plans must be sent to Washington for final approval. Clayes said. Construction on the unit is not expected to start until after the first of next year. In commenting on the old gymnasium facilities Clayes said, "the present gymnasium is antiquated, unsanitary and entirely inadequate. It is built of the old-type tile construction which is not earthquake-proof and not meeting present-day restrictions for school buildings." Candidates Are Election Issue Leo J. Friis, Anaheim attorney who is vice president of the Orange County Republican assembly, today issued a statement reminding all registered voters that they may vote for any candidate they choose regardless of party affiliations. It was emphasized that while voters were required in the primaries to vote for candidates representing the party in which the voter was registered, that restriction is not required in the general election. "Names of candidates will appear on the ballot in November in alphabetical order, regardless of party," Friis said, "and the voter may make his choice on the basis of the candidate seeking office and not on the party in which the voter is registered." The public is showing increased interest in the general election, both locally and nationally. Friis declared. Issues are being studied closely and candidates for offices are being considered on the basis of capability. COOKING SCHOOL INTEREST GAINS Gazette to Present Three-Day Session Under Direction Of Miss Jane Kruse Widespread interest is already being evidenced in the big, free cooking school, sponsored by The Gazette, which will be held October 7, 8, and 9, at the Knights of Pythias hall. Wherever women gather, the approaching cookery classes are the subject of interested discussion, and hundreds of Anaheim housewives are making plans to attend every session of the three-day series. Among other things, the numerous and valuable prizes to be given at the school, are attracting great attention. Each afternoon's session will witness the distribution of many useful gifts, and attendance at the cooking classes is the only requirement for eligibility to receive the prizes. Many women in Anaheim will be pleased recipients of these attractive articles, which will be used and enjoyed long after the cooking school has become a pleasant memory. Even more useful, however, will be the wealth of information on every phase of modern cookery, which will be disseminated by Miss Jane Kruse during the preparation of many delightful and practical recipes. The programs will prove especially appealing to the woman whose budget allows only a moderate expenditure for food, for Miss Kruse will devote a part of her time to the preparation of flavorful and appetizing dishes from the less expensive foods, and will discuss the economical and time-saving aspects of cooking in the modern kitchen. Miss Kruse is eminently qualified to discuss these phases of cookery for she has gained a very real insight into the problems confronting the modern housewife and mother, through her years of experience as advisor and consultant for the largest food companies in the country, and brings to the cooking school the benefit of her wide practical and technical knowledge. She is very earnest in her wish to be of help to women with their own probabilities. Further plans for the campaign will be laid October 4, it was announced. It was also announced that the annual Y.

SCHOOL HEATED BY ELECTRICITY Anaheim Boasts First Edifice Of Kind Using New Type Of Heating Unit The new building at the Anaheim union high school is the only educational institution in the United States which is heated entirely with electricity; it was announced today by school authorities. Other buildings in the coun- BY ELECTRICITY Anaheim Boasts First Edifice Of Kind Using New Type Of Heating Unit The new building at the Anaheim union high school is the only educational institution in the United States which is heated entirely with electricity, it was announced today by school authorities. Other buildings in the country are similarly heated, but none of them are school buildings, it was said. A careful study of the costs of electrical and steam heating by school trustees favored the former type, it was said. Current is to be purchased from the city of Anaheim, which had installed several large transmitters in the new structure to care for the added demand. School officials, after studying data obtained from many sources, estimate that the cost for current to furnish lighting, power and heat for the entire plant will be 1½ cents per KWH. The rate is based on an estimate of the amount of current which will be used. There is a possibility that officials have underestimated the demand, which might result in a slightly lower rate being charged for the current, it was said. It was also estimated, after studying costs of lights, power and heat in the old building and comparing it with the probable cost in the new, that the school will pay about $500 a year more for lights, power and heat in the new structure than it did in the old. The new building is considerably larger than the old, which in itself would increase the cost. Several different types of heating arrangements have been worked out although all work on the same general basic principle. Air currents passing over electrical heating elements furnish the heat. A thermostatic control regulates the temperature, which may be set at a wide range of degrees. The purpose of the control is to assure each room in the building of the same temperature. Construction of the heating unit assures the absence of drafts in the classrooms. Windows may be kept closed at all times and the constant changing of air will provide plenty of fresh air. The oil company has already paid the first month's fee of $77.50. The lease will be placed in escrow within a short time, it was said. In case of oil production on the property the city will receive a one-sixth royalty, according to the terms of the lease. Before entering into the contract city officials thoroughly investigated the Hillman-Long company and found it to be a reliable concern, City Clerk Charles E. Griffith said. The council also received a delegation of ministers of the Seventh Day Adventist church, who are attempting to obtain a location in Anaheim to construct a temporary frame tabernacle. The delegation was instructed to interview Building Inspector R. Nyhoe to ascertain where the building could be erected in compliance with the city's zoning ordinances and building code. The monthly report of the joint outfall sewer was submitted to the board. It showed that Anaheim's share of the expense for August amounted to $1,778.66. This was divided into maintenance $234.70, reconstruction $654.63, and the amount due the city of Santa Ana $889.33. Warrants and demands on the city for the month of August amounted to $9,456.14. Elks in North For Convention Many members of Anaheim lodge, No. 1345, B. P. O. Elks, are attending the state convention of Elks at Oakland today, tomorrow and Saturday.

Elliott, George Washington; Miss Ruth Williams, Citron; Mrs. Blanche Aniels, Broadway, and Mrs. Annie Pritchard, La Palma. At a short business meeting preceding the schools part of the program, President Herb Eldred led for reports of committees working on the Hallowe'en celebration. Most committees are now active in arranging their portion of the program. Anaheim Industry Inspected by Club Members of the 20-30 club of Anaheim visited the Mutual Cities Products company plant Monday evening as the feature of the meeting. Clarence Woodbury, secretary of the club and office manager for the company, was in charge of the party. Following the dinner at the Marigold cafe Woodbury told of the activity of the company. After his talk the members toured the plant. Business at the meeting included the appointment of Jack Royerty to head a committee to prepare a float for the Hallowe'en parade. A joint meeting with Orange 20-30 club was planned for October 7. Air currents passing over electrical heating elements furnish the heat. A thermostatic control regulates the temperature, which may be set at a wide range of degrees. The purpose of the control is to assure each room in the building of the same temperature. Construction of the heating unit assures the absence of drafts in the classrooms. Windows may be kept closed at all times and the constant changing of air will provide plenty of fresh air. The same heating system also provides for air cooling in the summer months. Arrangements in the rooms vary a single heater in the smaller offices to the huge "mushroom system" used in the auditorium. In the auditorium the air is removed from the room through vents near the ceiling and the warm air is forced into the room through a series of openings under the seats. It is estimated it will take about 30 minutes to bring the temperature of the auditorium to 70 degrees. Trojans Provide Program at Club Gil Kuhn of Placentia, captain of the University of Southern California football team, will be one of three men from the university who will provide the program at the Lions club meeting tomorrow noon, it was announced today.

Alley, who returned from Europe a week ago, is in demand throughout the United States as a lecturer on international affairs. He has made 14 trips aboard since 1920 and has attended ten sessions of the League of Nations. Having spent much of his time in Germany, he has followed the rise of Hitler from the very beginning and has observed at first hand the reactions of the German people under the Nazi regime.
