50 Years Ago Dec. 26, 1886. At the meeting of Directors of the A. U. W company held last Saturday a proposition was received from John Hanna asking for the second time that the charter of the company be amended so that certain land owned by him be included in the water district. He agreed if this were done to purchase $500 worth of shares of stock in the company and dig all necessary ditches on the land. A meeting of stockholders will have to be held to decide the question. The secretary was instructed to advertise the annual meeting of stockholders. He was also instructed to write to Alfred Robinson, trustee, explaining to him the situation regarding the ditch which conveys water to the Kraemer tract, and ask permission to construct a ditch along the south line of section 19, as indicated on a diagram accompanying the letter. Mr. Crowther was continued as superintendent. Half an inch of rain fell on last Monday and the rains which may be reasonably expected in January will doubtless be sufficient to insure large crops. The county is now in fine condition for the plow. Early sown grain is growing as if by magic and there is an abundance of pasture on the plains. The north is having heavy rains and farmers are beginning to fear it now is fifty-nine. As the size of the vote that will be cast by women is problematical, the supervisors are making the division that seems best, but may have to make further divisions a year from now. None of the Santa Ana precincts which were increased from five to ten about a year ago will be divided. Fullerton will have three instead of two. Orange six instead of two, Anaheim four instead of two, Tustin and Garden Grove two each instead of one each. Olinda will be made into two precincts to be known as Olinda and Brea, El Modena into two to be El Modena and McPherson, Olive, into two, to be Olive and Villa Park. Newport into two, to be Newport and Harper. Westminister into two, to be Westminster and Wintersburg. West Anaheim into two to be West Anaheim and East Anaheim. Agent J. H. Clabaugh of the Santa Fe is in receipt of advices from headquarters in Los Angeles that more passenger business is done at the station in Anaheim than all other points on that line between Los Angeles and San Diego combined.

Use Tax Prohibits Evasion of Sales Levy, Board Says 4-H Club Members Broadcast Program Orange county 4-H members, with the assistance of Ross E. Blodget has long been prominent in legal circles of the county. From 1919 to 1932, he was city attorney of Huntington Beach. During that period, he brought it against one of the state's major oil companies, and obtained public use, approximately one mile of ocean front and beach property, valued at a quarter of million dollars. Blodget has been a resident of Santa Ana since 1930, and was elected city attorney there in 1935. For several years, he was a member of the district attorney's staff in Orange county, and as such handled the prosecution of the celebrated Philip A. Goodwin murder case in the local superior courts. Kuchel is a member of a pioneer Orange county family which settled in Anaheim nearly three quarters of a century ago. Since his admission to the bar in 1935, he has practiced law in Anaheim. Last November, he was elected to the state assembly, and will leave January for the first session of the legislature which will convene Sacramento Jan. 4. The Santa Ana offices of the new firm are located at 308 First National Bank bldg., in that city, and will be in charge of Mr. Blodet. The Anaheim offices are located at 410 Bank of America bldg., Anaheim, and will be in charge of Mr. Kuchel. Use Tax Prohibits Evasion of Sales Levy, Board Says "Don't buy your car outside of California in the mistaken belief that you can save money by avoiding the state sales tax," is the advice given by the state board of equalization to California residents. The board points out that the Use Tax act, passed in 1935, protects California businessmen from the unfairness of outside untaxed competition. Under the law whenever a sales tax has not been imposed, a use tax of three per cent of the sales price is levied upon the use or consumption in this state of tangible personal property purchased on or after July 1, 1935. One who seeks to save himself money by buying a car outside the state to escape the sales tax may find it extremely costly in the end, the board pointed out. Where such purchase of a car is made through a California dealer, the law requires the dealer to report it. If the sale is not made through a California dealer, then the purchaser must report it. Failure to do so results in an arbitrary assessment of the three per cent tax, plus a 25 per cent penalty. Interest is charged if the tax is not paid within ten days after notice from the state.

Center St. Anaheim FEDCO COMPANY 1840 Valley Blvd. Rosemead RESPONSIBLE THE SANITARY LAUNDRY After twenty washings compare the difference. Science did—and here's what it found. After twenty washings in the average home laundry, a piece of fabric shows a seven times greater loss of whiteness than an identical piece of fabric washed by the famous Sanitary process. And no wonder! The SANITARY METHOD includes three to five (according to necessity) rich, foamy IVORY suds, then six rinses in Zero Soft Water all at controlled temperatures. But even more important to whiteness is Sanitary's "Classification"—or separation of the washing load by colors and types of fabrics. White pieces are washed separately; therefore they STAY WHITE. Why be satisfied with fading and "graying"? See what a difference proper washing makes. Science proved more than superior retention of whiteness, it proved that the loss of tensile strength is greater in home washing than when washed the Sanitary way; in other words your clothes will last longer at the Sanitary than if you wash them yourself. The above statements have been proven by the American Institute of Laundering, of which we are a member, and who are the recognized authority on laundering.

Hornets Lose To New Mexico Fullerton Jaysee stepped a little out of its class Saturday evening when the Hornets took on New Mexico Aggies in a pre-season basketball tilt, but it wasn't until two minutes before the final gun that the visitors were able to take a commanding lead that gave them a 43 to 37 victory. It was the first contest with out-of-state opposition Fullerton has ever had with the exception of Arizona teams. The Hornets held their own throughout the game, but the Aggies put on the heat in the last two minutes with a flurry of baskets that overcame a slight Fullerton lead. The score at half time was New Mexico 16; Fullerton 14. IMPERIAL CO. ROAD OPENS Work has been completed on gravel surfacing and asphaltting of the state highway between one mile east of Heber and three miles east of Imperial in Imperial county, states a report of the Automobile Club of Southern California.
