BOY SCOUTS TO BE REORGANIZED Anaheim District Council Is Formed at Meeting Tuesday Evening Plans were laid for the expansion of the Boy Scout organization in The story centers around Victoria Van Bret, an elderly and somewhat eccentric spinster, who rules her family with a maniac's firmness. Her sister, Caroline, is helpless before her. Her half-brother, Rip, cannot stand up against her. In a dark room that has not been changed since her father died Victoria goes through her cheerless routine with cruel regularity. She is more cruel than ever just now just because Rip is marrying a young lady who is not of his social station, and Victoria senses a threat to the integrity of the Van Bret fortune. How Victoria tortures the bride with studied austerity and finally tries to murder her is the malevolent burden of the play. The entire action takes place within a period of six months. The cast is headed by Margaret Gauer as Victoria Van Bret, Miss Gauer played a minor character role in "Seventeen," last year's junior class play. The male lead of Rip Van Bret, (Continued on page 5) Anaheim Pioneer Called by Death Mrs. Charlie Louise Montgomery died at her home, 1418 N. Main street, Santa Ana, last Saturday.

He told of the valuable work of the scout movement and discussed methods by which Boy Scouts lessened the number of delinquent among youths. Giving the boy a definite program of activity, under proper leadership and with a high standard of ideals to follow, is a definite aid in preventing youngsters from entering a life of crimes which lead to greater crimes, he said. Definite plans for the program to be carried out by the Anaheim district council have not yet been made.

DEDICATION CEREMONIES FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL HELD LAST EVENING Formal dedication of Anaheim’s magnificent new high school plant was held last evening at the auditorium as the climax of a day's celebration which also included the placing of the corner stone in a ceremony held yesterday afternoon.

Ekdahl, sales manager for Swift and company in Los Angeles, was the feature of the meeting this morning at the Marigold cafe of the Anaheim Merchants association.

Oil Charges To Be Investigated By Grand Jury Supervisors Pass Motion William Jerome Asking Complete Probe The battle of the oil barrels was handed to the Orange county grand jury today with a prairie from the board of supervisors for a full and complete investigation. W. C. Jerome introduced a resolution asking that the grand jury undertake an investigation of county purchases of road oil in the past two years. It was supported by LeRoy Lyon, and unanimously approved by the board. Thus a supervisorial campaign issue that started as a whistle rose to a shout, precipitated rests of two men and two suits for damages, became a matter for grand jury investigation. Jerome moved quickly to mand an investigation. A. Berry, publisher of a Santa Ana weekly, whom Jerome caused be arrested on Nov. 1, had prepared that he would make the mand himself, if the grand jury did not undertake the investigation without prompting. The question arose over quantification of oil furnished to the county this year. Burglary Tests Large Loot Evidence of Louis P. BernnN.

A.; Ray Adkinson, county superintendent of schools, and Charles H. Mann, mayor of Anaheim. Evans, who, with Mrs. Helen French, comprised the faculty of Anaheim high school when it was founded in 1898, told of the history of the establishment of the school. Anaheim has always had the finest schools because the finest teachers have been employed, he said. The enrollment of the high school the first year was 25 students. It grew the next year to the extent that a third teacher was employed, and has continued to grow since, Evans said.

Alberta street, the woman reported to An inspirational talk on selling by V. M. Ekdahl, sales manager for Swift and company in Los Angeles, was the feature of the meeting this morning at the Marigold cafe of the Anaheim Merchants association. One of the most important factors in successful operation of a business is to humanize the business, Ekdahl said. It is the "humanness" of a store which attracts and holds customers, he observed. The speaker declared that word "business" is properly spelled in that the "i" can not be placed before the "u" by a person conducting a successful business. True selling is not the winning of an argument by the salesman, but the reaching of a decision between the person with a commodity to sell and the person who needs and desires that commodity. Ekdahl said the successful salesman is not the person who continuously bothers a prospective customer, but the man who shows a friendly spirit, displays and explains his goods and does not attempt to force a sale. He pointed out how advertising works as a silent salesman in that it creates an interest in the product. Advertising and selling work hand in hand, the speaker said. The product must be worthy of the advertisements and the advertisements must be worthy of the product. A nationally advertised item of merchandise is an aid to the merchant handling it, Ekdahl said. The average buyer, the speaker observed, feels he is meeting an old friend when he sees and purchases an article which is known to him through advertising. One of the most important factors in a successful business is placing the employee in the position for which he is best fitted, he said. The employee must be capable of filling the job he is given and must be devoted to the company he serves, Ekdahl declared. Les Herron, chairman of the finance committee for Christmas decoration, reported that funds are coming in satisfactorily and that the total will be larger this year than ever before. Secretary George Reid reported that expenditures for the recent Hallowe'en celebration totaled $1,281.38 and that the revenue amounted to $1,491.50. Rests of two men and two suits for damages became a matter for grand jury investigation Jerome moved quickly to mand an investigation. A. Berry, publisher of a Santa Ana weekly, whom Jerome caused be arrested on Nov. 1, had praised that he would make the mand himself, if the grand jury did not undertake the investigation without prompting. The question arose over quality of road oil furnished by the Eden Refinery company, of which Don G., one son of Supervisor Jerome an official. Tests revealed recipients of the oil had not specifications. When Berry published in Independent an advertisement tackling Jerome, and revealing suits of tests on the road oil, rume retaliated by causing rest of Berry and J. Frank Bush whom he accused of causing insertion of the advertisement without its being signed. Burke retaliated with a $50 suit against Jerome for false imprisonment. Berry started a $500 suit against William Iver Eden company official, for which he claimed occurred inscrension's answer to the Berry charges. In the meantime County Engineer Nat Neff presented a report to the board, after Jerome and Lyon had been defeated by election, in which he admired truth of the charges, and his department had been invigorating the road oil content for past month or two. Today Jerome introduced resolution. It stated: That an unfortunate condemnation had arisen in regard to co-purchases of road oil. That position of the board had questioned in regard to the suit that it would be very unwisely businesslike and undesirable permit such conditions to pass. And it demanded that the jury make a full and complete investigation and report of co-road oil purchases for these two years. Shaw To Head Walton League Theft Brings Day Jail Term Grete, 26, 235 E.

A luncheon at the Anaheim union high school cafeteria Finance Report For Six Months Given Trustees Auditor Beatrice Miller Lists Expenditures and Revenues City administration expenditures and revenues both exceeded the 50 percent mark at the end of the first six months of the fiscal year November 1, according to the semi-annual report presented to the city council Tuesday evening by Beatrice Miller, auditor. Expenditures during the first six months totaled $150,420.62, or 53.478 percent of the budgeted total of 281,271.76. Revenues amounted to $167,675.18, or 56.01 percent of the estimated total of $299,326.30, the report showed. Accounts of the park plunge and for special accounting have been closed, with 96.25 percent of the total budget for the plunge having been expended and the full 100 percent for the special accounting work paid. Miscellaneous expenditures have already passed the total budgeted at the first of the year, caused primarily by the expenditure of $2,512.12 for compensation insurance which was not budgeted. Dr. J. W. Studebaker Dr. John W. Studebaker, national commissioner of education, will be in Anaheim next Saturday morning to meet with the advisory committees of the Orange county forums. A luncheon at the Anaheim union high school cafeteria has been arranged to provide the public with an opportunity to meet Dr. Studebaker informally. It was announced. Reservations for the luncheon may be made at the high school. Dr. Studebaker's subject at the 10:30 o'clock meeting will be "Federal Government in Education." The educator's visit in Orange county will serve two purposes it was said. Friday evening's meeting in Santa Ana, which is open to the public, will be given over to a discussion of education generally and the remainder of his stay will be to confer with members of school boards, advisory committees of the Orange county forums, and the principals and superintendents of county schools on the subject of the federal forums. Dr. Studebaker will appear at the Santa Ana high school at 8 o'clock Friday evening in a panel discussion which he will lead on the topic, "Democracy by Discussion." With him on the panel will be Linton T. Simmons, McClelland Jones, Dr. John B. Mason and Dr. Hubert Phillips. Dr. John Mason Forum Speaker Dr. John Brown Mason will conduct the meeting of the Orange county forums at the Anaheim union high school music room, Tuesday evening, Nov. 24. The subject he has chosen for discussion is "The Spanish Revolution." Showing the role that the church plays in Spanish life and outlining the causes of the present war arising from political and labor conditions, Dr. Mason will Accounts of the park plunge and for special accounting have been closed, with 96.25 percent of the total budget for the plunge having been expended and the full 100 percent for the special accounting work paid. Miscellaneous expenditures have already passed the total budget at the first of the year, caused primarily by the expenditure of $2,512.12 for compensation insurance which was not budgeted. This will be divided among the various departments at the close of the year, it was said. Cost of water at the city library has also exceeded the estimate for the full year, the report shows. The budget for domestic sewers has also been exceeded, due to the failure to obtain a PWA grant for installation of sewers on Manchester boulevard. The budget called for $375 to be used capital, while $578.47 has already been spent. Estimates that $1325 would be sufficient to maintain street equipment have proved insufficient as $985 was spent for capital which had not been included in the budget. More than 50 percent of the expected revenue from every source with the exception of water rental has been received, the report showed. Only $552.36 of the estimated $1,413.80 to be received from water rental has been paid in, or 39.06 percent. Revenue from miscellaneous sources, junk and salvage and park sales have already exceeded the estimates for the full year. None of the items represent a large sum, however. Indications are that revenue estimated from permits will fall far short of what actually will be received, as the city has already obtained 96.50 percent of the estimate of $2,163. It is believed revenue from that source will continue to mount. Expenditures and revenues of other departments are close to 50 percent, the report shows.
