MENTON County Teachers Attend Institute Outstanding Speakers Heard Arraignment of Former District Attorney is Set William F. Menton Charged With Seven Counts by County Grand Jury William F. Menton, former district attorney of Orange county against whom an indictment was returned late last week, will be arraigned in department two of the superior court tomorrow morning. The indictment charges seven counts of felonious mishandling of public funds. Two counts of the indictment were for alleged failure to pay investigators on criminal cases: Two other counts charge the ex-district attorney with misappropriating nearly $1650 of public funds to his own use. The remaining three counts accuse Menton of keeping false accounts and making false entries in his accounting of public funds. The special investigators whom Menton allegedly did not pay are Fullerton Youth in Naval Airplane Disaster Monday Cadet Russell F. Chambers, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Chamberlain of Fullerton, was one of six naval officers who parachuted to safety during the disaster at Pensacola Fla., Monday night. Two pilots were killed when eight of the airplanes in the flight crashed. Heavy fog which resulted in zero visibility caused the disaster it is said. The planes kept in the air for some five hours before the gasoline supplies became exhausted. Four of the 12 ships found "holes" in the fog and landed in safety. Cooking School to Be Held in March Miss Kay Gilbert to Return to Anaheim as Instructor in Three-day Event An all-electric cooking school County Teachers Attend Institute Outstanding Speakers Heard by Educators Here Last Thursday Evening More than 1000 Orange county teachers assembled in the Anaheim union high school auditorium last Thursday evening to hear addresses by Rabbi Edgar F. Magnin of Temple B'Nai B'Rith of Los Angeles and Dr. A. S. Raubenheimer, dean of the college of liberal arts at the University of Southern California. The program was a part of the annual Orange county teachers institute. Rabbi Magnin spoke on "The Meaning of American Democracy." Democracy, he said, is not perfect because it is a human institution. All other forms of government, however, have failed, history shows, but democracy has not perished, he declared. Knowledge Important "The most important thing in democracy is that children be taught how to get knowledge, how to preserve that knowledge, and how to hand it down to the future generations," Rabbi Magnin said. "The Implications of a Democratic Society to Education," was the subject of the address by Dr. Raubenheimer. Democracy, which is as old as civilization, has grown because it is a way of living together, not a form of government, he said. Many Not in School Schooling is now within the reach of everyone yet, the educator said. Less than 59 per cent of high school age children are not in high school today; he said. Between three and seven million children are neither in school or at work, Dr. Raubenheimer said. Prior to the speaking program, the Anaheim union high school orchestra, under the direction of J. W. Williams, played a group of three selections. Ray Adkinson, county superintendent of school; M. A. Ganter, superintendent of Anaheim elementary schools, and J. A. Clayes, superintendent of the Anaheim Schweinfest Will Speak at Forum "The War in Spain," is the subject to be discussed Sunday night at 7:45 o'clock at the people's forum at White Temple Methodist church. The speaker will be Robert Schweinfest of Anaheim who has recently returned from a year of experience in Spain with an ambulance corps. The chairman will be Lyman Harpster. The forum will be preceded by a 40-minute evening service beginning at 7 o'clock. "The Temple Singers," a new organization of high school and junior college students, will lead the congregation singing and give a special number under the direction of Mrs. Marjan Shafer and J. J. Coleman. The pastor will speak on "The Plus Sign in Religion and Life." Rev. R. Kells Swenerton will public funds. Two counts of the indictment were for alleged failure to pay investigators on criminal cases: Two other counts charge the ex-district attorney with misappropriating nearly $1650 of public funds to his own use. The remaining three counts accuse Menton of keeping false accounts and making false entries in his accounting of public funds. The special investigators whom Menton allegedly did not pay are George W. Blaisdell and his wife, Mrs. Yvonne Blaisdell, of Costa Mesa. Board Asks Probe Investigations which led to the indictments were started some time ago when District Attorney George F. Holden was instructed by the board of supervisors to investigate the former official's expenditures. At the same time the supervisors requested the grand jury to make a probe. The two investigations were made cooperatively. Requests by Menton, while still in office, to the supervisors for additional appropriations for his $5000 secret fund and his $2000 necessary-expense fund brought the matter to the attention of the supervisors. It was learned at that time that the secret fund was exhausted because of extraordinary costs of investigating the "Fools Rush-In" pamphlet case and that the necessary-expense account was overdrawn by $1600. Public Carriers to Be Boosters' Topic Orange county's future transportation needs will be discussed at the meeting of the Associate Chamber of Commerce of Orange county next Tuesday evening at the Garden Grove Woman's club house. Each member of the executive board will speak on what public carriers must give the county in the future if Orange county is in high school today; he said. Between three and seven million children are neither in school or at work, Dr. Raubenheimer said. Prior to the speaking program, the Anaheim union high school orchestra, under the direction of J. W. Williams, played a group of three selections. Ray Adkinson, county superintendent of school, M. A. Ganter, superintendent of Anaheim elementary schools, and J. A. Clayes, superintendent of the Anaheim union high school district, were in charge of the program. The speakers were introduced by Superintendent Clayes.

Again, we are glad to call your attention to the unusually low prices being featured by the Anaheim stores, many of which are using The Gazette's advertising columns to let you know about these values. No matter what you need, it is possible to get it in Anaheim at prices just as low and in many instances lower than the same item can be purchased elsewhere. We therefore urge you to investigate the Anaheim stores before you go elsewhere to shop. BUY NOW AND BUY IT IN ANAHEIM!

Other farm products were given chlorine baths before going to market and much produce was condemned. Temporary tent encampments were set up with the aid of the Red Cross to provide sanitary housing conditions for refugees. As the result of the department's work three Mexican colonies have been rebuilt to provide sanitary toilet facilities, improved water connections and superior houses. Health conditions on the whole throughout the year in Anaheim were good, according to the report.

The death rate throughout the county rose last year above that of 1937, the report stated. A total of 1472 persons died in the county in 1938 as compared with 1432 the previous year. The report states that the increase was due largely to increases in death from cancer, apoplexy, nephritis and diabetes. The death rate from pneumonia remained about the same, Dr. Sutherland reported. There were 213 births during 1938, 77 more than in the year previous.

While the renovation is in progress Anaheim's water distribution system will be connected to the Fullerton system for use in the case of emergency. Emptying of the storage tank will leave Anaheim without any reserve storage supply and require the city's pumps to force the water directly into the mains. In event of a power failure, pressure would fall immediately, and the supply would be cut off. As the Fullerton city plant is inside Anaheim city limits and the main pipelines of both systems are only a few feet apart on North Palm street, a connection will be made with a control valve. Baseball Booster Group is Formed Seattle Rainiers Hold First Work at New Stadium Manager Jack Lelivelt Puts Squad of 30 Men Through Exercises Yesterday Thirty members of the Seattle Rainier baseball club, under the direction of Manager Jack Lelivelt and Coach Eddie Taylor, took their first workout of the season at the new La Palma park stadium yesterday. A good sized crowd of Anaheim residents turned out to greet the players. All but nine of the group which went through a long training session yesterday are youngsters trying for a start in professional baseball.

All but nine of the group which went through a long training session yesterday are youngsters trying for a start in professional baseball. Some of them undoubtedly will be cut adrift after receiving a thorough trial, but most of the boys will probably be sent to one or the other of Seattle's farms in lower classification leagues. An added attraction at the opening day workout was the appearance of husky Fred Hutchinson; former Rainier pitching star who was sold at the end of last season to the Detroit Tigers. Hutchinson left Anaheim this morning for Florida where he will join his new teammates. Regulars who reported for action yesterday were Gilly Campbell and Morris Hancken, catchers; Dick Barrett, Paul Gregory, Lester Webber and Ed Selway, pitchers, and Eddie Fernandes and Edo Vanni, outfielders. Fernandes was a catcher for the Rainiers last year, but is being transferred to the outfield this season. Many Youngsters Candidates for all positions were found among the rookies. Those seeking pitching jobs are H. Anderson, A. Anderson, Federmeyer, Budnick, Morgan, Clements, Scribner, Winsor, Leib, Lindy, Wallace and Luederman. Catchers included George McNamee, Harney Soares and Jacobsen. Only two infielders, Carlson and Potter, reported. Wake, Nokes and Hornig, outfielders, complete the squad. Manager Lelivelt lost no time in sending his charges through their paces, with the pitchers getting plenty of exercise while receiving instruction in fielding their positions. While one small group of hurlers were engaged in that task the rest of the squad participated in "pepper" games. Veteran infielders and outfielders, and a few more rookies will report in Anaheim early next week and be ready for work by next Wednesday. The opening inter-club baseball game will probably be played at La Palma stadium on Sunday, March 12, according to Manager Lelivelt. Verification of the change in date is expected momentarily from the Sacramento club, which is training at Riverside. Marten Selected Walker argued in vain Monday he was not employed as an agent to the district attorney. Contended that he was assisting the district attorney, but was an assistant district attorney. Was hired by the supervisors a certain limited service and without authority. Walker therefore, he said, his employ came under the section of county ordinance which prohibits that the supervisors may rent and employ "such other houses" as they may deem necessary.
