The new ordinance was introduced at an adjourned meeting of the council Tuesday evening. Ten old ordinances will be repealed by the new law. Each dealt with some phase of the public service department and is being incorporated into the new ordinance. The new law is entitled, "An ordinance creating the public service department of the city of Anaheim, defining its powers and prescribing its duties; creating the office of controller of said department, defining his powers, prescribing his duties; providing the method for establishing rates and other charges; specifying the manner of making applications and deposits for such services."

Retail Business Needs Discussed Officer of Trade Association Talks to Merchant Group This Morning "Business goes where it's invited and stays where it is appreciated." Those words, originally penned by the late John Wanamaker, are the crux of the talk given this Committee Will Ask Legislature to Limit Relief Only Encough Funds to Last Until January 1 Sought as Result of Plan A newly organized Orange county committee temporarily formed to carry on and expand the governmental and relief activity originated by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. Friday will ask the state legislature to appropriate only enough relief funds to last until January 1. Howard I. Wood, secretary of the Santa Ana chamber, also of the new county organization, explained the reason for the request is that throughout southern California, which includes almost two-thirds of the population of the state, there is being formulated a relief plan representative of the legitimate and constitutional rights of business men and agricultural interests which must pay the bills, and also inclusive of the rights of recipients of relief. State Threatened "Recognizing that present destructive relief practices threaten the solvency of the state and its public service department and is being incorporated into the new ordinance. The new law is entitled, "An ordinance creating the public service department of the city of Anaheim, defining its powers and prescribing its duties; creating the office of controller of said department, defining his powers, prescribing his duties; providing the method for establishing rates and other charges; specifying the manner of making applications and deposits for such service and of handling delinquent payments; prescribing certain rules and regulations governing installation and use of electric and water services; and fixing penalties for violations thereof." The council authorized the Anaheim chamber of commerce to negotiate with professional baseball clubs for the use of La Palma park as a training site next spring. The park will be available next year under the same terms as this spring. All contracts and agreements must be approved by the city council before negotiations may be completed. City workers will start cleaning weeds off private lots early next week, it was decided. Owners-of lots who have not previously removed weeds and other rank growths will be charged for the service performed by the city. The council authorized the granting of permission to Eugene Gough of Huntington Park for the establishment of a bowling alley at 224 S. Lemon street. City officials were informed that a capital expenditure of approximately $12,-000 is to be made by Gough in installing six alleys. Approval was granted to the application after the council had received a petition signed by most of the property owners in the immediate area expressing willingness to have the establishment opened. School Trustees Ask Re-election Election of school trustees for both Anaheim union high school district and Anaheim elementary school district will be held on Friday, June 2. Terms of two high school trustees and one elementary school trustee expire this year. Earl E. Smith, a member of the elementary board for several years, will not seek reelection, he Needs Discussed Officer of Trade Association Talks to Merchant Group This Morning "Business goes where it's invited and stays where it is appreciated." Those words, originally penned by the late John Wanamaker, are the crux of the talk given this morning to the Anaheim Merchants association by J. V. Guilfoyle. The speaker is managing director of the Southern California Retail Hardware association. Guilfoyle showed that statement applied both to individual merchants and to the entire city. Business is being drawn from the smaller towns to the larger cities, he said, because merchants in the bigger cities are asking for that business. Community Problem The problem of improving business, the speaker said, is not one alone for an individual; it is a community project. All merchants should cooperate, he declared. One of the biggest troubles with California business today is "rugged individualism." Such a man is no good to his own business or to the community, Guilfoyle said. Lack of character by individuals and concerns is also an important reason for loss of business, and another is ignorance on the part of the merchant and his sales force. Little Things Cruelty "It's the little things we don't do that crucify us in business," the speaker declared, and closed his talk with the plea to think of business optimistically. G. Ted Masterson spoke briefly on the annual "Poppy day" which will be held on Saturday, May 27, under the sponsorship of the American Legion auxiliary. He told of the number of world war veterans in government hospitals and their need for financial aid. These men are permitted to make the poppies which are sold by the Legion auxiliary and are paid three cents each for them. The balance obtained from the sale of the flower is used for relief of other, needy veterans, he said. Masterson was introduced by Mrs. Clair Leibhart of the Anaheim auxiliary. Motorist Bound State Threatened "Recognizing that present destructive relief practices threaten the solvency of the state and its productive forces," Wood said, "business men and ranchers realize that they must take hold of and control this problem which threatens the permanency of our existing form of government. In order that this relief program representing the sentiment of business and farming interests which is now being formulated may be logically completed, we request that the legislature make provisions for financing-only the absolute essentials of relief up to January 1, 1940, at which time the program will be ready to present at a special session of the legislature. It is said that a special session of the legislature costs less than one day's relief bill in the state of California." Outline Program The Orange county committee of business men, ranchers and newspaper publishers, which will cooperate with similar groups in other southern California counties in outlining a relief program, also voted unanimous approval of the Field bill, introduced recently in the state assembly. The Field bill was drawn by the assembly "economy bloc." The Field bill, briefly provides for: Work upon public projects and for home or direct relief; giving relief in kind, with a maximum of $5 in cash-per month per relief family; barring from relief those who refuse employment when same is available; giving relief only to citizens of the United States; a three-year period of resi- (Continued on Page 6) Rotarians Stage Spelling Contest A "spelling bee" in which every member of the club and the guests took part, featured Monday's meeting of the Anaheim Rotary club.

Millard Parks on, "Communication Progresses," and George Hedstrom on "The Archer-Shee Case." Royal C. Marten served as treasmaster of the evening, and called on other members of the club for short talks on the topic, "Whom Would You Exile?" Russell R. McComb was general critic.

Father S. Muller, OFM, of Santt Barbara mission, while speaking to a large audience which attended the Jubilee Mass at St. Catherine's Military school Sunday morning. Education without religion is worthless, and religion without education rests upon an unstable foundation. The Jubilee Mass, which was to have been held on the parade grounds of the school, was conducted in the new gymnasium building because of threatening weather. The spacious room was filled to capacity with cadets of the school and their relatives and friends. Sisters Lauded Rev. Father Muller highly lauded the Dominican Sisters who conduct St. Catherine's Military school.

Secretary John A. Morgan read a recent letter from President Bob Quinn of the Boston club which said for the chamber of commerce not to wait on his club in negotiating for use of the park. He said he might be in California this summer and might come to Anaheim to inspect the layout here. Hope Not Abandoned The chamber directors, however, have not given up all hope of obtaining a major league club here next spring and are following up, through Secretary Morgan, other feelers which have been extended. The directors endorsed two resolutions during their meeting. One expresses approval and support of the Citizens' Military Training camps held each summer in California and the other favors the acquiring of beach lands by the state to be used for public purposes. Relief Bill Tabled A discussion was held relative to the Field bill now before the state legislature and the request of an Orange county committee studying relief problems that only enough money be allotted to last until January 1. The directors finally decided to table the matter temporarily. Fifteen dollars were appropriated from the chambers' advertising fund to be donated to the El Rodeo Riding club for use-as prizes during the club's annual barbeque on June 11. The-new directional sign pointing to the business area of Anaheim has been installed at the intersection of Palm street and Manchester boulevard, Morgan announced. Permit is Issued for New Dwelling Permits for the construction of grounds of the school, was conducted in the new gymnasium building because of threatening weather. The spacious room was filled to capacity with cadets of the school and their relatives and friends. Sisters Lauded Rev. Father Muller highly lauded the Dominican Sisters who conduct St. Catherine's Military school. The school, he declared, has modern equipment, high standards and has been a great influence for good. Teachers of youth are in a unique position, Rev. Father Muller said. Although hampered by the routine of a classroom, they are able to instill the love of knowledge into their pupils, guide them into overcoming evil and strengthening those who are unstable. A joy that a teacher can understand, he said, is to see a former pupil who has become a successful and respected person. Propoganda for Youth Regards the inter-relation of religion and education, Rev. Father Muller said the modern persecutors of the church know this fact. As a result, they leave the older, folk alone, but instill their propoganda into the children. This one of attack will fail like all others he said, but will do temporary damage. "The duty of religion is to permeate 'the life of the people,'" the priest said. "It must enter into the daily life of the people." Three-Day Event The Jubilee Mass was followed by a luncheon which was attended by a large group. After the lunch-on a program was held in the gymnasium, featuring talks by Thomas L. McFadden and Fred A. Backs and music presented by the Anaheim Conservatory of Music. The Golden Jubilee opened at the school last Saturday morning with a mass being conducted at St. Boniface church in the morning, followed by a luncheon for clergymen. The three-day event was concluded Monday with a mass for cadets at 7 o'clock in the morning and a public card party in the gymnasium during the evening. Scout Troops to Enter Camporal Anaheim Boy Scouts troops Nos. 71, 72, 73 and 75 plan to participate in the all-county camporal to be held in conjunction with the People Quarrel. A program of music featuring the Mozart string ensemble Anaheim union high school and vocal scolls by Miss Betty Fackinger Anaheim young woman who has gained fame as a radio singer, preceded the speech. William Co- directed the ensemble and Ms Helen Pifer accompanied Ms Fackiner. Quarrels are Human Quarrels are human, Dr. Anderson said, and are traced to problems of distribution, differences in religious and political beliefs, in tolerance and competition for existence. Because it is human to quarrel does not mean that quarrels are necessary, the educator declare Tolerance toward others and that complete abandonment of words "ignorance" and "stubbornness" from an individual's vocabulary are methods of elimination disputes. Force Unsatisfactory Force never settles a different opinion, Dr. Anderson said. A impersonal objective search for true facts on both sides of a disputable question will usually reveal that merit for both contents exists. Following the commands of G-in personal life will generally minimize the tendency of quarrelthe speaker concluded.

Ames Veteran Jurist Laid to Rest Tuesday; Many Flowers Superior Judge Homer G. Ames was laid to rest Tuesday. The spacious, flower-banked lodge room of the Anaheim Elks clubhouse was filled to capacity for final services for the late jurist. The Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church conducted a brief funeral service, after which the Elks ritual was performed. Past exalted rulers of the Anaheim Elks lodge filled the offices for the rites. L. A. Lewis presided as exalted ruler and Thomas L. McFadden, former law partner of Judge Ames, gave the eulogy. H. H. Benjamin was leading knight, Supervisor Harry D. Riley loyal knight, Oscar Heying lecturing knight, Arthur M. Bradley chaplain, and Lynn Bonnat esquire. Ritual at Grave Present officers of the lodge, headed by Exalted Ruler Clyde Bruce, conducted the ritual at the graveside in Fairhaven cemetery. Pallbearers were Presiding Judge Packing of Citrus Starts This Week Anaheim Area Given Prorate of 20 Cars; Damage is Below Expection With less frost damaged fruit appearing than expected, valencia orange packing activity started in several Anaheim packing houses this week. Some of the houses began operation on Tuesday while others started later. Approximately 825 persons are now employed within the packing houses and citrus groves. The number of persons employed will increase as the season progresses and more fruit is shipped, with more than one thousand men and women expected to be working at the peak of the season. Activity Slow Because of the slow maturing of the fruit, activity is slow this week. The total prorate for the territory immediately surrounding Anaheim for this week is 20 cars. The largest number of cars assigned to any one house is five. It was reported, while two houses each have the lowest allotment of two cars. At present "spot" picking is being used. This necessitates operation of only skeleton crews in various sections of the area where fruit has matured most rapidly. Rigid Inspection Inspection of fruit will be rigid, because of the two freezes of last winter, it was said. However, reports have been made that the amount of damaged fruit is considerably less than expected. Water separators are expected to eliminate fruit damaged during the freeze of last November because the oranges have had sufficient time to dry out. Oranges frozen during the cold wave in February are expected to be eliminated by the fluoroscope.
