THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII First Testimony Offered to Jury In Booklet Case Leo J. Friis Cleseted During Morning as Probe Into Pamphlet Opens Grand jury investigation of the sensational political pamphlet "Fools Rush In," was started yesterday under the leadership of Foreman William Schumacher. Anaheim bank official and former supervisor from the third district Leo J. Friis, Anaheim attorney and one of the campaign leaders for George Holden, was the first witness to appear before the grand jury. He spent the entire morning in the jury room of Judge Homer G. Ames' court, which is to be the grand jury's location during its investigation. Holden candidate for district attorney was one of the men assailed in the pamphlet. To date, no summons have been issued by the jury, although it was revealed that several would be signed unless more volunteer witnesses appear. The jury, it is believed, will meet only on Wednesday unless the investigation work becomes so heavy as to require additional sessions. Would-Be Suicide Grateful for Services Rendered A would-be suicide whose life was saved Sunday evening through the quick thinking and action of Anaheim telephone company employees, Anaheim police and sheriff's officers was grateful Monday "for the prompt service" given in his case. Telephone company employees traced a telephone call from James G. Bailey of Garden Grove while he was asking that a message be delivered to a party that he was committing suicide, and, with the aid of Anaheim police, sent sheriff's deputies to the scene in time to revive the man. He had sealed the house and opened the gas jets. Schools Report More Students Anaheim Union High School Enrollment Surpasses Last Year Larger enrollments during the first week of school this year than for the same period of time last fall were reported today by Anaheim union high school. Mary-New Evaporator Latest Addition at Juice Plant "Radford Tornado" Installed by Cal-Juices, Inc.; Finest Available Installation by Cal-Juices, Inc., of the most modern, up-to-the-minute, stainless steel vacuum evaporator known to science, was disclosed this week by Henry Stevens, production manager of the new Anaheim orange juice canning concern. The new evaporator is called the "Radford Tornado." It has been so named because it elates orange juice past the heating surfaces so rapidly that the current of juice must be directed into circular channel as it comes out of the heating unit so that it holds the particles of juice to the side walls of the pan by centrifugal force and separates it from entrained water vapor much cream is separated from milk a cream separator. Thermal Vacuum Syphon The juice circulates through the heating unit at a rate of 50 gallons a minute and this tremendous flow of orange juice is accounted by a thermal vacuum syphon. The orange juice c More Students Anaheim Union High School Enrollment Surpasses Last Year Larger enrollments during the first week of school this year than for the same period of time last fall were reported today by Anaheim union high school, Marywood Central Catholic girls high school, and St. Boniface Parochial school. The Anaheim elementary schools will not open until next Monday. Enrollment-by classes was not announced by any of the schools. 1054 at High School Anaheim union high school reported an enrollment of 1054 students, a slight increase over the 1038 that had enrolled at the close of the first week of school last year. A few more students are expected to register before the close of the week. One hundred young women are attending classes at Marywood Central Catholic girls high school. Last year at the same time the school had slightly less than 90 students. St. Boniface Gains Registration at St. Boniface Parochial school totalled 221 yesterday afternoon. The figure at the close of the first week of school last year is not definitely known, by it was reported this year's enrollment is slightly larger. St. Catherine's Military school is in its second week. Boys from seven different states and four foreign countries are enrolled.

States other than California that are represented are Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, Arizona and New York. Students from California come from as far north as Berkeley and as far south as El Centro. Uses Much Water An interesting highlight regarding the evaporator is that it uses 600 gallons of pure cold water every minute to condense the water vapors that are evaporated from the orange juice. Evaporation is done at a temperature of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, or about body heat, and only possible because an almost perfect vacuum is maintained during the evaporator at all times. Visitors at the Cal-Juices plant are amazed to see the reacting place inside the evaporator when they look through the last convenient side windows of "Radford Tornado." At the present time 110 tons of oranges are evaporated to a 5- concentrate every 24 hours impartial judges of the process say it is superior in quality to a competitive product packed too. The "Radford Tornado" is largest, finest and most scientific correct vacuum evaporator for orange juice now in existence. Steens said. It was invented by E Radford, head of the Radford Steel Works of Los Angeles. Rites Held for Mary H. C. Baker Funeral services for Mary H. Baker, 77, were conducted Street, Sidewalk Repairs Started WPA crews started work this morning on the street and sidewalk repair project, it was announced by E. P. Hapgood, city engineer.
