Buffington and C. P. Launders. The former is the inventor of the hand which provides community prosperity." Pascoe declared. "It draws its members from every vocation and profession in the community." Discussing the functions of a chamber of commerce, the speaker said it is the community's advertising agency, the fountain-head of civic pride, a research and information bureau, and a legislative channel. It also acts as a builder of community business and prosperity, an aid to better education, a repository for benefits in time of emergencies, a goodwill builder in numerous ways, a promoter of better highways and safety measures, a stimulator of better housing and a genuine booster for the community which it serves. "The work of a chamber of commerce is done not by individuals, but by committees," Pascoe pointed out. "Each member should take his work on a committee seriously and look upon the chamber of commerce as an employee." Program Launched In discussing the national aspects of the chamber of commerce, Pascoe declared that the United States Chamber of Commerce has embarked upon a program designed to create in the minds of the general public a better impression of business.

Bruce of Monte- Health Program Interests Lions Activities of the Orange County Tuberculosis & Health association sect tree band will be directed from Anaheim as the result of the selection by the B. & L. Distributors of this city for its offices and distributing plant. The concern established its headquarters here early this week in the property at Broadway and Vine street formerly occupied by Gibbs Lumber company. Officials of B. & L. Distributors are F.W. Buffington and C.P. Launders. The former is the Inventor-of the band, which has been in the process of development for some three years. Salesmen working out of Anaheim will cover five western states, including Arizona, Idaho, Oregon and Washington in addition to California. Other warehouses are located in Washington and Oregon. The Fiberglas Insect tree band acts as a trap to prohibit insects from crawling up the trunks of fruit trees, it was said. It is constructed of closely interlocked glass fibers which is manufactured by the Owens-Illinois Glass company especially for this purpose. The glass is sprayed with a chemical solution which makes the trap effective against the Argentine ant. it was declared. Complete Protection Complete protection for the tree or bush is obtained when the band is placed around the trunk a short distance above the ground, officials declare. Life of the band is said to be at least two or three years as they do not deteriorate as the result of contact with water, skin or rain. A public demonstration of the product is plumed here within a short time. Buffington said. The company is looking for a grove with several variables of trees near this city where the band may be demonstrated to best advantage. Buffington first invented the band about three years ago. Continuous research has created numerous improvements in the product and extensive experiments are said to have proven the worth of the band. Program Launched In discussing the national aspects of the chamber of commerce, Pascoe declared that the United States Chamber of Commerce has embarked upon a program designed to create in the minds of the general public a better impression of business. The national organization is seeking the assistance of all local chambers in carrying forward the program and Pascoe asked President Harry C. Arthur, Sr., to appoint a committee for that purpose here. For the past several years, the speaker commented, business has been discredited by the public. This fact has been added to a great extent by some unwise legislation which has been adopted within the past few years, he added. "Business has not been given credit for the things it has done." Pascoe declared. "Leaders of big business have been called economic royalists. But these same business leaders have risen to their positions, in many cases, from the lowliest of starts." Cooperation Necessary In closing his address, Pascoe stressed the importance of cooperative effort in carrying out the program of the chamber of commerce and admonished the members to take time to learn of the activities of their organization. President Arthur presided during the meeting and told of the future plans of the monthly luncheon meeting. At the February meeting, he said, there will be no speaker, but matters of interest to members will be discussed. Arthur also introduced E.L.Hickley, president of Cal-Juices, Inc.; who introduced members of his board of directors who were present. Arthur also called upon Fred Clough, president of the Anaheim Realty board; Jim Casto, president of Pump & Agricultural Supplies, Inc.; and F.W.Buffington, official of B. and L.

Winbigler, mortician, are at liberty today under $2000 bail each following their surrender to federal officers. They are charged with 11 other men with conspiring to smuggle lottery tickets into this country from Mexico. The 13 men were indicted yesterday morning by the federal grand jury in Los Angeles. Other Orange county men named in the true bill are C. W. Hutchings, Balboa business man; Henry W. McKague, former federal prohibition officer in Orange county; and Howard S. Atcheson of Santa Ana. The accused men will be arraigned in federal court in Los Angeles next Monday, it is believed. Long Investigation The indictment charged the 13 defendants with participating in a lottery-based upon the running of the Christmas Day stakes at Santa Anita Park in 1936. The true bills climaxed more than a year of investigation by federal men. New Development A new development came in the wake, however, when J. W. Wykert of Los Angeles, attorney for Eastern Fruit Growers, Inc., a defendant, requested that his writ of prohibition be set aside as it pertained to his client. When this was granted Wykert served a plea of guilty for Western Fruit Growers. Judge Hayden continued the case until after trial of Mills and Miller. Wykert was retained by the corporation to replace Kaufman and Webb, who will, however, continue as counsel for the other defendants. Date Protested Kaufman and Webb asked for a writ of prohibition on the grounds that the disqualification Justice of the Peace Charles Michel of himself came within days after the defendants were notified. This is contrary to them said. Likewise, it was argued that the defendants had been allowed five days before notification of the hearing set the trial date and the actual hearing. Judge Hayden, justice of the court for Tustin township, was pointed by the Judicial council the state to hear the retrial of case on January 5. The follow-up he called the hearing and the trial date as January 10, or the protest of Kaufman and Webb. Judge Kenneth Morrison, Santa Ana justice of the peace, previously been assigned to case by the judicial council, was later relieved of the appointment.

Merker of Santa Ana, county chairman of the organization planning the campaign. Lapel buttons, bearing the inscription, "Fight Infantile Paralysis" and a picture of a small child, will be sold this year for the first time.

Funds from the sale of the buttons will be used for research work as well as the actual combatting of the disease after it inflicts an individual. Money derived will supplement the income from a trust fund of $12,000,000 already established for the purpose.

Long Investigation The indictment charged the 13 defendants with participating in a lottery-based upon the running of the Christmas Day stakes at Santa Anita Park in 1936. The true bills climaxed more than a year of investigation by federal men, following a Los Angeles sheriff's office probe into an alleged $3,000,000 scheme after several thousand of the lottery tickets had been seized. At that time Howard, McKague and Atcheson were questioned by Los Angeles sheriff's officers, but evidence to gain a conviction was not obtained and the case was turned over to the federal officers. S. B. Kaufman, Anaheim attorney, is reported to be arranging for Howard's defense. It was also indicated that the defense may challenge the indictment on the ground that the true bill was returned against "Floyd A. Howard," whereas the Santa Ana police chief's name is Floyd W. Howard. Curt E. Henderson, former resident of Santa Ana, is being held as a prosecution witness. He is said to have been involved in the alleged lottery scheme, but was not indicted because he gave testimony to the federal grand jury. Death Summons Paul J.
