THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street LXIX Clson’s Decision on Bill to Decide Fate of Request Grant of Funds to Improve River Levees-Likely if Measure Approved Whether Orange county will receive another $150,000 for additional repairs to Santa Ana river levees depends upon the action of Governor Culbert L. Olson in either signing or vetoing a bill which extends the time in which counties or other subdivisions can apply for state funds for flood control work. This is the information brought back from Sacramento by Supervisor Harry D. Riley of Anaheim early this week. Supervisor Riley had gone to Sacramento to press the county's request for the grant. Project Favored Should the governor veto the measure which was passed by the legislature all hope of obtaining additional state funds would vanish. If the bill is signed, the Santa Ana river project, considered by state officials as one of the most urgent in the state, will get an appropriation, Riley reported. At request of Riley, Senator Harry C. Westover interviewed Governor Olson on the matter. Orange Juice Is Easily Obtainable In Anaheim Any complaints that fresh orange juice is difficult to obtain in Anaheim are without basis of fact, a survey conducted here last week revealed. The survey was made by Frank E. Mauerhan and A. L. Schutte, representing the Orange County Farm Bureau, and John A. Morgan, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. They visited each of the drug store fountains and cafes in Anaheim and found that orange juice may be purchased in all of them. Two sizes of glasses of juice are obtainable, one costing five cents, the other ten cents, they reported.

Judge Westover Assumes Duties on County Bench Former State Senator Given Appointment Friday by Governor Olson Superior Judge Harry C. Westover has assumed his duties as successor on the Orange county bench to the late Judge Homer G. Ames who died several weeks ago. The new jurist reported to the courthouse Monday morning, ready for duty. Judge Westover was given his commission last Friday evening by Governor Culbert L. Olson, having first resigned his position as state senator from Orange county. As senator, Judge Westover was one of Governor Olson's leaders in the upper house. No Surprise Appointment of Westover as superior judge came as no surprise in Orange county. Shortly after the death of Judge Ames, the state senator was mentioned as the likely successor. There was some question as to Westover's eligibility, but he was subsequently given a clean slate by the attorney general. Appointment of Westover was Old-Timers Unite at Annual Event Reunion Held at Irvine Park Sunday Afternoon with 5000 in Attendance Celebrating the golden anniversary of the county's founding as well as the annual reunion of early-day residents and their descendants, approximately 5000 persons gathered at Irvine park Sunday for a picnic luncheon and afternoon of informal entertainment. Many of the group live outside of Orange county, coming from all points of southern California as well as from the northern part of the state and neighboring states. Mrs. Tucker Honored Oldest person at the picnic was Mrs. Simpson Tucker, 98, who resides east of Anaheim. Second oldest was the woman's husband, who is 96 years of age. One of the features of the afternoon was the presentation of the first couple to be married in Orange county. They are Frank Benedict and his wife, the former Mysie Walls. They were married in the old Brunswick hotel (now the Rossmore) by Rev. T. J. C. Webster, then pastor of the United Presbyterian church of Santa Ana. Also honored Sunday were Johnnie Walls, brother of Mrs. Benedict and Katie Wordham Pollard, who were the bridal couple's attendants at the wedding. Stephenson Speaks County Treasurer T. E. Stephenson outlined the history of the county. He told of the unsuccessful efforts of Major Max Strobel of Anaheim to separate the county from Los Angeles in 1868. Other attempts to form a new county were made from 1872 to 1878, until finally, in 1889, the attempt succeeded. He told of the first elections in the county as well as other historical events. The Old-Timers association paid tribute to the 480 members who died during the past year. Election of officers was also held during the afternoon, resulting in the re-election of Coroner Earl R. Abbey as president of the association and Elmer B. Burns as secretary-treasurer. Len Harvey was elected first vice president and assistant secretary. James Spires to Permits for the construction of one new dwelling and for other minor building work were issued during the past week by Building Governor Olson's leaders in the upper house. No Surprise Appointment of Westover as superior judge came as no surprise in Orange county. Shortly after the death of Judge Ames, the state senator was mentioned as the likely successor. There was some question as to Westover's eligibility, but he was subsequently given a clean slate by the attorney general. Appointment of Westover was delayed, however, because Governor Olson desired to retain the senator's services on behalf of his (Olson's) legislative program until the end of the session. Senator Westover was one of the governor's spokesmen and most ardent supporters in the legislature. World War Veteran The new judge has been practicing law since 1920. A graduate of the University of Arizona, Judge Westover served in the army during World War, being discharged in 1919. The following year he started the practice of law. Chosen by the democrats of Orange county as their nominee to succeed Senator N. T. Edwards of Orange who did not seek re-election, Westover was elected to that position in November 1936, starting his term of office the next January. Father Was Judge Judge Westover's father, J. H. Westover, was a circuit judge in Kentucky and later was publisher of the Yuma (Ariz.) Sun. The new jurist's mother, Annie Westover, was one of the first members of the Arizona legislature. With a year and a half of Westover's term in the senate to run, a special election must be called to fill the vacancy, it was said. Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel of Anaheim, a republican, is looked upon as one of the leading contenders for the position. Judge Westover's appointment to the bench extends to January 1, 1941, the office to be filled by election in the general election of 1940. His salary as judge is $6500 a year.
