P. Hapgood. The application is expected to be forwarded to WPA offices in San Francisco either today or Friday after having been returned Tuesday from the San Diego office where it was approved after only minor changes were made. The application was first submitted October 29. Total Cost $7378 The project, which calls for removal and replacing of dead trees, doctoring diseased trees and planting of new trees, will carry a total expense of $7378. Hapgood said. Of that amount WPA will provide $4861 if the application is approved and the city will expend $2517. The city is now carrying on under supervision of the park department, the same type of program.

He immediately became affiliated with the Anaheim Bulletin as circulation manager and later joined the advertising staff of that paper. He resigned from the Bulletin in October, 1934, to accept the position as assistant secretary and club manager of the Elks lodge. He succeeded Evan Alsip in that position. The new secretary was the unanimous choice of the board of directors, who felt that his acquaintance with most of the business and professional people of Anaheim and northern Orange county in addition to his experience as an executive and manager made him the logical man for the position. Miss Fisher in Charge Jaack Royalty, who employed by the Anaheim Merchants association as secretary while preparations were being made for the 14th annual Hallowe'en celebration will remain in the chamber of commerce office until the end of this week, it was said. For the following two weeks Miss Leila Fisher, who served as secretary Reid for several months and for Royalty, will be in sole charge of the office.

Captain Russell R. Hand, Townsend radio speaker of Los Angeles, has been obtained as the speaker of the evening. Captain Hand is considered one of the most able speakers in the national Townsend organization and will have a message of importance not only to members of the club but to other persons as well, Mrs. Freeman declared. Musical Program In addition to Captain Hand's address a musical program featuring Madame Mamie, Stark and Mrs. Evangeline Bernham has been arranged, according to the Anaheim club president. Madame Stark is a Townsend organization soloist of national reputation. She will be accompanied during her program of songs by Mrs. Burnham who was convention pianist at both Chicago and Cleveland Townsend national conventions. About 500 Townsend club members from Orange county are expected to attend the mass meeting, filling the clubroom to capacity, Mrs. Freeman said. The president of the Anaheim club will be mistress of ceremonies during the event. "We wish to extend a cordial invitation to the general public to attend this mass meeting and learn what the Townsend organization is doing," Mrs. Freeman declared. Lions Hear Talk on Lobby System Gordon Suiter, representative of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, was the speaker at last Friday's meeting of the Anaheim Lion's club. He discussed principally the practice of lobbying in Washington. The project, which calls for removal and replacing of dead trees, doctoring diseased trees and planting of new trees, will carry a total expense of $7378. Happgood said. Of that amount WPA will provide $4861 if the application is approved and the city will expend $2517. The city is now carrying on under supervision of the park department, the same type of program. The present project is a continuation or the original program, the city engineer pointed out, and more than doubles the amount of work to be done. Several streets have been designated as locations for new planting of sycamores and elms. In some instances dead trees will be replaced and in other instances the planting will be entirely new, Happgood said. Streets selected to planting include La Palma street from Palm street to Paulina street, the west side of Clementine from Sycamore street to La Palma street and from Cypress street to the south end of Clementine street, Center street from Olive street to East street, Melrose and Kroeger streets from Center to Santa Ana streets. In addition new plantings are scheduled for Manchester boulevard from Lincoln avenue to Santa Ana street, Santa Ana street from Manchester to Lemon street and from Olive to East streets, Water street from Palm street to Olive street and other scattered blocks. Under the project a total of 729 trees will be planted, the engineer declared. One hundred eighty seven trees will be removed and 833 trees will be treated by surgeons.

Other features of the day's events were the football game between Fullerton and Santa Ana high schools and the Armistice day dance in the evening. The program opened at exactly 11 o'clock this morning with the firing of a signal bomb, calling for ten seconds of silence in reverence to world war dead. Two minutes later another signal bomb exploded announcing the start of the parade. Gene Autry, singing star of film and radio, headed the parade as grand marshal. He was mounted on his movie horse "Champion." Assisting Autry as aides were Sheriff Logan Jackson and Mrs. Lorella Macbeth. Nine divisions formed the parade, with many floats and more than a dozen bands and drum and bugle corps provided music along the parade route. Immediately after the parade was concluded a barbecue lunch was served at Amerige park, which was followed by a concert at 130 o'clock by the Fullerton city band.

J. Cruickshank, agricultural leader, appeared before supervisors Tuesday with an expert's survey of the smudge situation. Cost of modernizing non-conformist "smudge pots" so that the smoke menace would be materially reduced would be only about $5000 for the entire county, supervisors learned. Other Counties W. R. Schoonover, head of the University of California citrus experiment station at Riverside, told the board about the orchard heating situation in other counties, three of which—Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles—have adopted anti-smudge laws. The Orange County Farm bureau so far has stymied a similar ordinance proposed locally. The bureau was asked last spring for a report on advisability of such a law, but did not report. R. D. Flaherty, executive secretary of the bureau, announced last week that the organization would oppose the proposed law. 37,500 Heaters Only 10 per cent of Orange county's citrus acreage is heated. Schoonover said. Less than one per cent, or 7500 acres, is heated by unsatisfactory heaters. Most of these could be converted into satisfactory heaters for 50 cents apiece, or a modernization cost of about $5000 exclusive of new heaters required when the worst group were discarded. Damage to clothing, stocks of goods and household equipment in southern California has been estimated at about $6,000,000. Supervisors took no action on the matter Tuesday. Emergency Stations Fifty seven of the Californi chapters have established highway emergency first aid stations and 54 units to aid people injured in automobile wrecks. One hundred and four chapters placed 624,546 secession lists in homes last month to eliminate hazards in the nearby campaign to save lives during the prevention of accident homes and on farms.

River Allotments Budgeted Until 1939, Commission Tells Anaheim Council Hopes that a new bridge might be built over Santa Ana river on the Anaheim-Olive road have all but vanished as the result of a communication read last night by City Clerk Charles E. Griffith to the city council from the California highway commission. The letter was in answer to one cent to the commission a few weeks ago by the council. The highway commission's communication said in part that the highway budget for the present biennium from July 1, 1937 to June 30, 1939 had previously been adopted based on estimated revenue for this period and it is not possible to authorize additional projects unless other projects are deferred, savings are made in budgeted allotments or additional revenue becomes available. Predict Overrun It was also pointed out that none of these conditions exist at this time, and with the increased cost of materials and labor the state is faced with overruns in budgeted allotments rather than savings. Canvasses Planned In this year the canvass of residential districts will be directed by the Anaheim County Parents and Teachers, Strand Directing this work will be Harry Burden. F. Faulkner is chairman of committee planning the canvass of the business area. Several are being chosen withers covering every business establishment and office.

M. Thompson, county flood control engineer, informed the county board of supervisors last Saturday. Thompson supported his statement by listing the number of men employed in the project and the number of workers who are residents of the county. The county's engineer submitted his statement to the supervisors in answer to complaints made to the board a week ago yesterday that local men are not being given employment. Two surveyors who appeared before the supervisors last week charged that only two Orange county residents were employed on the survey crews which totaled 15 non-civil service workers. They also charged that Orange county men were not given an opportunity to take examinations for civil service jobs. Engineers' Statement Thompson's statement said in part, "An investigation of the personnel, taken from the records of the Fifth Feld Area office of the United States Engineer department, located in the court-house annex, Santa Ana, definitely refutes the complaints." Fifty-two men are now employed in the area, the engineer pointed out, and of this total 36 are civil service employees and 26 are classified as non-civil service employees. Eleven Orange county residents, all of whom had civil service status when they were employed, as among the 36 civil service employees. Others among the 36 are the area engineer, and his chief engineering and clerical assistants. These men are detailed by Major Theodore Wyman, Jr., district engineer. Among the 26 employees who do not have civil service status all but three are residents of the county, Thompson declared. Many of the county residents who are under civil service qualified in examinations taken last February 23 and last April 20, he added. Building Permits Have $1327 Value Five building permits for re-possible to authorize additional projects unless other projects are deferred, savings are made in budgeted allotments; additional revenue becomes available. Predict Overrun It was also pointed out that none of these conditions exist at this time, and with the increased cost of materials and labor the state is faced with overruns in budgeted allotments rather than savings. The council had previously filed with the commission a petition signed by approximately 150 residents of Anaheim asking that new bridge be built. The matter was brought up when the state began construction work on the new alignment of the Olive road between the city limits of Anaheim and the town of Olive. Present plans call for the elimination of the two right-angle turns at Placeiaville avenue and the widening and grading of the entire road. The present two-lane bridge over the river will be repaired and strengthened, but will form a bottle-neck in an otherwise three-lane highway. New School Signs In the near future two new type school crossing signs will be placed on city streets, it was decided by the council. The sign depicts a small girl holding a sign marked "school" and will be used in place of the present type. Should the new sign prove as effective as it is believed it will, several more will be placed at the major school crossings in the city, it was said. Fourteen resolutions were adopted Tuesday night accepting deeds to property. Of the total 11 were for property on North Los Angeles street which was given to the city when the thoroughfare was widened in 1933. The others are for property on Santa Ana street, widening of which has just recently been completed. Financial reports for October were submitted to the council by many department heads. Treasurer Charles Boege's report showed cash on hand amounting to $159,437.80. City Clerk Griffith reported collecting $141.35' in delinquent taxes last month.
