Achievement Night is one of the outstanding 4-H events of the year for club members and parish leaders by developing a closer relationship between them and the city. A group of six recommendations was made to the council. The group wishes a revision of the existing customer's electric range wiring agreement so that it will coincide with that of the Edison company in this area. Standardization of wiring equipment for electric ranges was also recommended. It was suggested that the department of power and light employ a contact man and a home economist to cooperate with electrical dealers. The group asked that special electric rates be given dealers who connect large appliances for display purposes. Modernization of ordinance No. 445 is also sought. The final recommendation was that the city consider a plan for underwriting contracts between dealers and customers where major electrical appliances have been purchased. The council decided to take the recommendations under advisement. Mrs. Mary Ziegler, 205 N. Clementine street, offered the use of three lots which she owns on the north side of Center street between Helena and Palm streets for parking purposes. The lots are 90 by 141 feet and are adjacent to the alley north of Center street. No charge will be made for the use of the property, the only requirement being that entrance and exit be made by way of the alley. The offer will be turned over to the chamber of commerce for action, it was decided. The council granted a request made by the Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross that folders publicizing the membership drive between November 11 and November 26 be sent out with bills from light, power and water departments. City Clerk Charles Griffith pointed out that the request was granted only because of the national importance of the movement. A contract for removal of garbage was entered into with D. J. Bastanchury, with whom the city has dealt for the past few years. Terms of the contract provide that the city will pay $1 a ton for the removal of garbage. A communication was received. in the morning until 7 o'clock in the evening. Returns will be available at the Gazette office as soon as obtainable from the polling places.

Mrs. W. R. Ward was in charge of organization for the P.-T. A. Mrs. Ward introduced Mrs. Laura Warren, Orange county executive secretary, who gave a short resume of the accomplishments of the Anaheim Junior Red Cross, first aid, life saving and disaster relief departments. Richard R. Ziegler, field director for American Red Cross in the Navy Landing station at Long Beach, gave a short talk on "The People's Red Cross," which is this year's slogan for the membership campaign. He said that the Red Cross is an organization by the people, for the people and should be adapted to each chapter's local needs. Headquarters for the membership drive will be at the H. N. White hardware store again this year, it was announced.
