Anaheim Furniture Will Aid Sufferers The Anaheim Furniture store, in cooperation with the Sealy Mattress company, will give away three inner spring mattresses to flood sufferers tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The only requirements are that the persons receiving the mattresses must have suffered flood losses and they must be present at the store at 2:30 o'clock. On Saturday the Couch Manufacturing company and the Anaheim concern will give away a two-piece living room suite. Conditions for this event are the same as for Thursday and the time is 2:30 o'clock. Judge of San Diego to Hear West Case Superior Judge L. N. Turrentine of San Diego will preside at the ouster trial of Supervisor N. N. West when it starts March 28. Announcement of the selection of Judge Turrentine was made by Superior Judge Homes G. Ames, who disqualified himself from hearing the case. West was charged by the county grand jury with four counts of misconduct in office. VAGRANT FINED Mark West, 24, of 125 W. Elm street Monday morning was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 or spend 12½ days in the county jail when he pleaded guilty before City Judge Frank Tausch to a charge of vagrancy. He took the days. S. A. V. I. Suffers Losses of $75,000 Flood damage suffered by the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company will amount to about $75,000, Superintendent W. A. Ralph revealed last week. Two small wells up the river were washed out in addition to about 600 feet of cement along the east bank at the head of the company's ditch. Ralph declared that the loss is the first suffered by the company from floods in the 40 years he has been superintendent.

Sewer Repair Work Virtually Complete Reconstruction of the La Palma avenue line of the city's sewer system is virtually complete, City Engineer E. P. Hapgood declared yesterday.

ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Costa Mesa Globe Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Placentia Courler Anahiem Gazette Seal Beach Post La Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress SUPERVISOR WANTS TO KNOW Orange county has been asked to join in a big Southern Counties exhibit in the San Francisco fair in 1939. The promoters of the idea propose a display which will cost $300,000. Of this amount Orange county's share would be $19,000. The money would have to be raised by a special tax levy of one percent, to be spread over two years, half a cent a year. The proposition has been put before the supervisors and it did not get a very warm reception. Willard Smith of the Fourth district seemed to be the only one in favor of it. John Mitchell of the Second was definitely against it. The other three expressed no final opinion, but do not appear favorable. However, Supervisor Riley of the Third district appears to be the only supervisor undertaking to find out what his constituency thinks. He has sent out letters to people in all parts of his district asking their opinions, and those of as many others as they can gather. The matter must be settled by April 1. If you have a conviction as to what the supervisors ought to do they probably would welcome your views. POLICE SHORT WAVE GOOD, JACKSON SAYS That the use of radio is the proper means of spreading information in times of emergency is the opinion expressed by Sheriff Logan Jackson. He declares himself doubly sold on the idea since the flood. The county has a short wave sending and receiving station on top of the jail at Santa Ana. Sheriff's cars are equipped with two-way sets. A good many city police cars are equipped with receiving sets. Jackson recommends that they also have sending equipment. He says they have been building and installing their own, at a cost of about $70 each. With all sheriff and police cars fully equipped, or with sending stations, the county would be covered with a network of radio with all reports cleared through the main stations at Santa Ana. The radio proved its effectiveness during the flood time. Last Friday night it was again. More rain made more danger, and sheriff's cars were stationed up and down the river at strategic points, all the way from the county line in Santa Ana canyon, almost to the ocean at Huntington Beach. When the river slopped over again the word was passed along, and families in the lowlands around Talbert were taken out. The ground there was flooded Saturday morning. AS TO THOSE WARNINGS In the matter of giving people warning of the coming flood, the Yorba Linda Star has the following: POLICE SHORT WAVE GOOD, JACKSON SAYS That the use of radio is the proper means of spreading information in times of emergency is caught by the rising waters in AS TO THOSE WARNINGS In the matter of giving people warning of the coming flood, the Yorba Linda Star has the following: "That scores of people were CITRUS BROWN ROT For Citrus Brown Rot Control The University Citrus Experiment Station recommends a 3 - 3 - 50 Bordeaux Mixture or Zinc Copper 'Bordo'" The Sherwin Williams Company Carries a Complete Line of the Necessary Material THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS CO. "Better Control with Less Spray" PHONE OR CALL ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO Anaheim 3201 Fullerton 1578-J air beds suggested an incredible cure on the part of some one to turn them, but this seems not to be been the case. Radio listeners report that casts of dangerously high water in the Santa Ana river based reports from upstream, were de at fairly frequent intervals Wednesday afternoon over ra- station KVOE, Santa Ana. At night word was brought to Atwood from the Yorba bridge that the breaking of the dyke protecting the countryside to the west seemed only a matter of minutes and that people in the lowlands should seek shelter on higher ground. Also members of a crew of a freight train stranded at Atwood spread word after midnight that the water appeared to be rising rapidly and suggested the people in the camp south of the tracks move out. "A few heeded these warnings. But more, either did not hear or disregarded them. The reason most frequently given for this apparent indifference to danger is that the people of the camp were hustled out in the night when the river threatened last year. But the threatened disaster did not then occur and those who heeded the alarm got only a wetting from the skies. They remem- false alarm when reached them last night."

They remembered that false alarm when warnings reached them last Wednesday night." NOTES The latest candidate rumor heard around the court is to effect that Sam Collins of Fullerton, ex-congressman and ex-district attorney is to run for sheriff. Nobody seems to have smoked him out on whether he says yes or no. Willis Warner of Huntington Beach last week announced his candidacy for supervisor in the Second district. There is talk of other candidates, Dick Haster and John Crill being mentioned. John Mitchell, incumbent, has repeatedly said "no." The first candidate calling card made its appearance this week. It was issued by Kenneth Morrison who has come out for superior court judge against Judge Allen. Morrison is at present justice of the peace in Santa Ana. An echo of the famous (or infamous) typewriter case in which the supervisors have been beaten twice in court. The cost of printing the brief for the appeal from superior court amounted to more than the cost of the typewriter over which the trouble started. STEVENS CO. CENTER ST. K TO BE SOLD!
