Boosters Discuss Relief for Aliens
No Definite Action is Taken By Chamber Directors Yesterday Ncon
Anaheim chamber of commerce yesterday declined to take any definite action in support of Santa Ana chamber of commerce's program to remove aliens from the relief rolls of the state.
Meeting at a luncheon session at the Elks clubhouse, the directors heard Secretary John A. Morgan read a copy of a letter sent by the Santa Ana organization to the State relief administration, asking that relief funds be withheld from aliens. The letter quotes statistics on the number of Mexican aliens who had been sent back to Mexico both during the years when they were denied relief and after relief was given them. The number returning to their native land has reduced considerably since aliens have been given relief.
Many Allens Here
The letter also declared that several hundred alien Mexicans are living in Orange county, many of whom entered the United States illegally.
The directors discussed the matter briefly, coming to the conclusion that the matter could be best handled through the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county.
A proposed amendment to the constitution of the Associated Chambers of Commerce which would increase the number on the executive board to 24 was also discussed. It was decided the local body's representatives on the association chambers should vote as they see fit.
New Group Added

This, together with the greater scope of the new revised program, has resulted in a membership of 519,000 of which Anaheim Girl Scout district has eight troops of 175 girls to her credit.
Local scouts will celebrate by holding troop parties and will honor the occasion by wearing the uniform throughout the week; they will also call personally on their social and civic friends giving them an opportunity to share in the scout movement of the community by placing an order for a box of four dozen cookies to cost 30c of which the entire profit of 10c will remain with the local Girl Scout council to be used to meet expenses for the 1939 budget of $330.
The estimated budget was presented to Mrs. Charles Schutz, commissioner, by Mrs. W. Rommel and her committee, Miss Ada Louise Wilcox and Mrs. John Wilson. The budget committee hopes to raise the entire amount through the medium of semiannual cookie sales.

Mrs. Bungay Directs
Several prominent Anaheim residents, not all of them P.-T. A. members, are featured in the play, directed by Mrs. Olive Bungay.
"Grandma," a stream-lined snappy version of the older generation, is to be played by Mrs. Brown, popular star of amateur productions of several seasons.

Shirk, popular high school teacher.

Second Alarm
The liquid cement is used by the concern for vulcanizing tires and tubes.
A second fire alarm was answered by the city's department Wednesday noon, when an enclosed water heater at the Edward E. Voorhees residence at 214 S. Vine street became overheated and flames burned into the roof from the vent. The blaze was quickly subdued and resulted in only minor damage, according to Fire Chief Nyboe.
