THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street LXIX The MARCH OF TIME BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine ROYAL TUMULT— WASHINGTON—From Niagara Falls to Washington, from Washington to Hyde Park, their majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, were acclaimed by the people of the country which revolted from British rule just 163 years ago next month. "At last I greet you," said President Roosevelt at Washington's Union station. "Here come the British!" cackled Vice President Garner as the royal party rolled up to the capitol. "Hiya, King!" was heard above the roar of crowds in Manhattan. Historically, this visit climaxed an unparalleled era of international visiting and friend-making. With the war clouds hanging over Europe, there was no telling when friendly neighbors' roofs would be needed. Within two years, four out of six Balkan rulers had visited London or Berlin. Mussolini had visited Berlin, and Hitler repaid the compliment. King George and Queen Elizabeth had been to Paris, and in turn had received President Lebrun in London. Building Activity Spurts; Dentist to Erect Office Permits for Two Dwellings Also Issued During Past Week Building activity in Anaheim spurted considerably last week with the issuance of eight permits having a total valuation of $14,-220, according to Building Inspector Rudolph Boysen. Two new dwellings and a new office building are included in the eight permits. Dr. Max M. Henderson Tuesday received a permit for the construction of a dental-medical building at 607 N. Los Angeles street. Dr. Henderson, dentist, will occupy the northern half of his new building and the southern half will be tenanted by Dr. John Wood, M. D. Modern Structure The building incorporates some ideas new to this community in provision for use of daylight skylights of special glass, Dr. Henderson said. The administration offices will be arranged for the greatest efficient. The new office will be a one-story structure and will cost about $7000. L. R. Summer Program at Children's Library Planned Centering the activities around the theme of the two world's fairs, plans for the summer program at the children's library have recently been completed, according to Miss Elva Haskett, children's librarian. Various displays and booths imitating those at the two fairs are planned and special reading which relates to these features has been outlined. The usual vacation story hours will also be held, Miss Haskett said. Blind Woman Will Get “Leader Dog” Orange Resident Chosen to Receive Annual Lions Club Presentation Miss Bessie Sawyer of Orange, blind teacher of Braille, will receive the first "leader dog" to be presented by Lions clubs of District 4-E, it has been announced by Loius H. Hoskins, immediate past president of the Anaheim club and a member of the dis- Historically, this visit climaxed an unparalleled era of international visiting and friend-making. With the war clouds hanging over Europe, there was no telling when friendly neighbors' roofs would be needed. Within two years, four out of six Balkan rulers had visited London or Berlin. Mussolini had visited Berlin, and Hitler repaid the compliment. King George and Queen Elizabeth had been to Paris, and in turn had received President Lebrun in London. Net results of George's and Elizabeth's 30-day, 10,000-mile visit to Canada and the United States, during which they were seen by some 15,000,000 people, were intangible but evident. Canada had been given a shot of empire enthusiasm which would be a long time wearing off. The U. S. and Britain had put on a show of good neighborliness that had dominated the world's news for a week. While the London Times augustly observed that "There was nothing political in the visit," the liberal News Chronicle probably reflected European reactions more accurately when it predicted: "The result will be not only to make a marked difference in Anglo-American relations, but also to affect all political calculations in Europe." FARM HOUSING—WASHINGTON—Ohio's ambitious Republican Senator Taft strove vainly last week to prevent the senate from doubling U. S. Housing authority's $800,000,000 loan capital for slum clearance: Half that much more would be enough, he thought. USHA is authorized for the next 60 years to give municipalities outright rent subsidies, which help them pay interest and principal on their loans. Senator Taft thought that raising the annual rent subsidy from $28,000,000 to $58,000,000 (instead of the $73,000,000) was plenty. The senate repeatedly overrode the senator, one of whose strongest arguments was that slum clearance discriminated, in favor of urban families, left poor country folk in the cold. With only ten minutes of debating time left, New York's Democratic Senator Wagner introduced an amendment directing USHA to devise a program, and spend upon it any part of its total $1,673,000,000 in borrowed capital and rent subsidies it sees fit, "for families of low income in rural areas." Farm-loving Senator Taft, outdone begged that the amend- Orange Resident Chosen to Receive Annual Lions Club Presentation Miss Bessie Sawyer of Orange, blind teacher of Braille, will receive the first "leader dog" to be presented by Lions clubs of District 4-E, it has been announced by Loius H. Hoskins, immediate past president of the Anaheim club and a member of the district's committee. The presentation will be made next Saturday during the annual state convention of Lions club at Long Beach. Planning to attend from Anaheim are President Carroll D. Cone, Secretary Vic LaMont, Robert Rossberg, Francis Elliott, Joe Scholz, Wayne Griggs, Newel Christensen, Arthur Wilmsen and Hoskins. Indorsement Given Miss Sawyer was determined upon as the recipient of the "leader dog" after much consideration and she has been unanimously endorsed by the Orange County Club for Advancement of the Blind, of which Dr. W. D. Shay of Fullerton is president. Miss Sawyer has already been given training with the dog, which was purchased from the National Eye Dog association of Los Angeles. The dog was trained by Captain A. Kraemer. The training includes work with sidewalks, curbs, pavements, traffic signals and other city hazards. Give One a Year District 4-E of the Lions club plans to present a "leader dog" to one blind person each year Hoskins said. Each of the animals costs $500 and the funds are raised through a per capita contribution of '30 cents from each Lion in the district. E. M. Sundquest, new president of the Santa Ana club, is in charge of the financial campaign. The plan has been in operation for the past year and is one of the major projects of the district Serving with Hoskins on the committee are John Sprague, jr., o Palm Springs and Major M. P Vestal of San Diego. District Governor Ulrich Schmid of Ontario will present the dog to Miss Sawyer. Two Are Injured in Auto Accident With only ten minutes of debating time left, New York's Democratic Senator Wagner introduced an amendment directing USHA to devise a program, and spend upon it any part of its total $1,673,000,000 in borrowed capital and rent subsidies it sees fit, "for families of low income in rural areas." Farm-loving Senator Taft, outdone, begged that the amendment be delayed: But other Senators quickly whooped it into the bill; then whoopsed the bill through 48-to-16. Thus was a vast new chapter in farm relief, written in less time than it takes a farmer to cast his vote. Quick to make political capital of the house republicans' heavy vote last fortnight for the fantastically expensive Townsend pension plan was Democratic National Chairman Jim Farley. Radiating last week from Washington, he cried: "The only excuse suggested for the 55 republican potential squanders is that they knew the democrats would defeat the bill." BOUNCE— SAN ANTONIO — Question-of-the-hour put by Roosevelt loyalists to their fellow democrats is: "Do you oppose a third term for the president?" When it reached resilient Maury Maverick—the super-New-Dealer who, defeated for re-election to the house, snapped back last month as mayor of San Antonio—the question bounced. "I think," said Maverick, "that I'm against a fourth term, and I know I'm against a fifth." COURTING GAS— WASHINGTON — The U. S. will (Continued on Page Four) Conclave Delegates Selected by Groups George Walter and Viggo Mallin were chosen delegates to the national convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars during a meeting of the Anaheim post last Thursday evening.

Two Are Injured in Auto Accident Crashing her automobile into a tree in order to avoid a collision with a second car caused slight injuries to Mrs. Jennie L. Veyna 23, 1121 N. Lemon street, and her passenger, Mary Luna, 15, of Santa Ana, Mrs. Veyna reported to Anaheim police Saturday evening. Mishap occurred at the intersection of Olive and Wilhelmina streets shortly after 7 o'clock Mr. Veyna reported. The second car involved was driven by Mrs. Helen E. Cariker, 30, of 554 S. Zeyn street, who also filed a report with police.

Griffith. The new section added to the political code permits property sold to the state before July 6, 1938 and on which the right to redemption has not been terminated, to be redeemed at any time prior to September 1, 1939 by paying the amount of the unpaid taxes. Such payment may be made without penalty or interest of any kind, but will include the cost of advertising. Owner to Redeem Redemptioner of the property must have been the owner of the property prior to January 1, 1939, the new law provides. Property owners who are now paying delinquent taxes under the 10-payment plan will also be benefitted, City Clerk Griffith said. If the unpaid taxes are paid in full by September 1, the inter- Anaheim Woman Granted Solo Pilot's License Mrs. Viola Fallin, 734 N.

County Chamber Question Tabled by Anaheim Body Bocster Body Directors Meet Again Tuesday to Make Decision Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is not ready yet to either approve or reject the plan of the executive board of the Associate Chambers of Commerce of Orange county to revise that organization into an Orange County Chamber of Commerce. After discussing the matter considerable length during the regular meeting yesterday nocti at the Elks clubhouse, the directors decided to table the question until a special meeting to be he next Tuesday afternoon immediately following the Kiwanis club meeting. President Harry Arthur, sr., urged that all directors and delegates to the Association be present at that time. Changes Explained Floyd McCracken, director of the Associated from Anaheim, explained the proposed change which he said would result in the abandonment of the present organization and establishment of a new type of group.

Are Injured Auto Accident Redemptioner of the property must have been the owner of the property prior to January 1, 1939, the new law provides. Property owners who are now paying delinquent taxes under the 10-payment plan will also be benefitted, City Clerk Griffith said. If the unpaid taxes are paid in full by September 1, the interest previously paid will be refunded, he said. In some instances the interest has amounted to approximately 60 percent of the unpaid taxes, it was pointed out. City Will Benefit The new law effects delinquent taxes amounting to approximately $5000 in the city of Anaheim alone, the city clerk said. Benefits under the new provision affect the cities as well as the property owners in that it opens the way for payment of delinquent taxes and to return property already sold to the state to the tax rolls of the city. City Clerk Griffith is taking steps to inform all owners of record of delinquent property which comes under the provisions of the new law of their rights under the act. Welfare Director Speaks to Rotary Only about one per cent of the persons on relief in Orange county will be affected by the law barring certain aliens from relief rolls, Tom Douglas, county welfare director, indicated in speaking before the Anaheim Rotary club Monday noon. Douglas said the relief program is complex and that no immediate solution seems likely. He told of some of the problems faced by his department and said that the relief program in Orange county is being administered as efficiently as possible. The county board of supervisors has supported the relief program in an excellent manner, the director said, adding that the board and himself have about 18 per cent control of the administration of relief in the county. Relief laws in the main are established by the federal and state governments, he said. The two agencies also supply the bulk of the relief funds. Commencement Exercises at City Park Mark Close of School Year With talks by several of the graduates featuring the program, the annual graduation exercises of John C. Fremont school were conducted last Thursday evening in the Greek theater of Anaheim city park. Diplomas were awarded to 166 students by Earl E. Smith, president of the board of trustees.
