THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street LXIX Cal-Juices, Inc.

Tourist Trade Important to California's Business Southern California's economic position as compared with the rest of the nation and methods used by the All-Year Club of Southern California to draw tourists to the southland were graphically told to members of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce yesterday noon by Jack Little, public relations director of the club. Using figures pertaining to Los Angeles on the grounds that they are representative of the 10 southern counties, Little showed that while Los Angeles' population in 1930 was fifth largest in the nation it ranked higher in economic respects. Los Angeles was second only to San Francisco in tax delinquencies last year; third in the effective buying power; second in new residential building, and first in automobile registrations. The speaker also presented figures comparing the entire state of California with the nation in similar manner. Sixth in population in 1930, California is first in retail sales for the same year; third in effective buying income per family; and, in 1936, third in individual income tax returns. These figures, Little contends, prove that both California and the southern half of the state are sound basically. Further, he said that soundness will continue because there are sources of new income for California which are now available to other states. The four principal sources of new income to California, the speaker said, are petroleum, tourists, motion pictures and citrus, respectively. Only the tourist business apparently can be stimulated at the present time, Little said. Stimulates Business The All-Year Club of Southern California systematically attempts to stimulate the tourist business. It carries on wide-spread advertising in newspapers and magazines as well as conducting extensive personal correspondence.

Orangeade Popular The orangeade to be served free during the day is the Real Gold brand which had gained such wide favor throughout the nation and in European countries. It is produced primarily as a summer drink and the concentrate from which it is made is obtainable at most leading grocery stores. E. L. Hackley of Anaheim and H. K. Wilson of Fullerton, both members of the board of directors of Cal-Juices, Inc., will be in charge of the downtown headquarters. Hackley was the first president of the company and Wilson is now serving as vice-president. Anaheim markets are cooperating with Cal-Juices, Inc., by featuring the company's products this week end.

The young girl was found Saturday by Police Chief Lee Howard of Seal Beach after an eight-year-old neighbor boy of Wharton saw a hand stretching out of the rumble seat of the car. The child immediately notified Chief Howard of his discovery. The Martin girl had hidden in the boy's car in hopes that her disappearance would soon be forgotten and she and the boy could elope and be married. She had eaten only an occasional sandwich or piece of bread brought to her by the boy and had remained in the automobile constantly for seven days. City Considered in League Plans Anaheim Among Towns being Approached so Possible Anaheim Library Reports Disclose Gain During Year Increased Circulation Shown in Summary of Fiscal Year's Activity Growth of the Anaheim public library during the past fiscal year is graphically shown in the annual reports compiled by Miss J. Eliza-beth Calnon, librarian, and Miss E. Kate-Rea, secretary-treasurer of the library board. Miss Calnon's report covers activities from May 1, 1937 to June 30, 1939 and shows an increase in circulation, circulation per volume and circulation per card holder. The librarian compared the fiscal year 1937-1938 with the period between May 1, 1938 and April 30, 1939 and with the period between May 1, 1938 and July 1, 1939 which covers the city's fiscal year. Two months were added to the fiscal year last year as the result of the change in date for the start of the fiscal year. During the 12-month period of 1938-1939 circulation totalled 91,-661 volumes, an increase of 11,592 volumes over the total for the previous fiscal year just closed an ad- La Palma Park Will be Held Dedication ceremonies for new La Palma park will be held Saturday afternoon.

Barker of Brea and Mrs. Mary Sandoval of La Habra Victims City Considered in League Plans Anaheim Among Towns being Approached as Possible Ball Club Sponsors Anaheim is one of 13 cities in the southern part of California which are being considered as likely locations for baseball clubs in a new Class D league. The league will be indirectly sponsored by the Pacific Coast league, if present plans materialize. Secretary John A. Morgan of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce received a letter Tuesday from W. C. Tuttle, president of the Pacific Coast league, which outlined the plan now under consideration. Details of the proposed setup have not been worked out yet, Tuttle said. Local ownership of the club is recommended by the Coast league, with some support to be given by the larger organization in the matter of finances and players. Games would be played at night in the main and it is suggested by Tuttle that receipts of all games be pooled and divided equally among the clubs in the league. Such a plan would eliminate the factor of population inequality, Tuttle believes. The Pacific Coast league is interested in the formation of a Class D league as a method of training young ball players for future use in the larger conference. Some of the clubs at present have connections with smaller league teams, but the league feels that southern California is an ideal locality, both from the standpoint of population and the large number of young players available. Class D is the kindergarten of professional baseball, it was pointed out. Clubs are limited to 15 players, including the manager and the salary limit is placed at $1200 a month, exclusive of the manager. Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation To Be Operated Throughout Summer Two Persons Die in Car Accident John D. Barker of Brea and Mrs. Mary Sandoval of La Habra Victims Two highway accidents in northern Orange County over the past week end brought death to two persons. John D. Barker, 114 Datestreet, Brea, died early Monday while Barker was riding alone, investigators reported. Had been visiting friends in Cobon canyon and had started home tracks on the highway led stray officers to the assumption that Baker had possibly been forced to the highway by another car who did not stop. Mrs. Sandoval was a passenger in a car driven by G. R. Garcia also of La Habra, which was involved in a collision with another machine driven by Carl Swanof Pomona at the intersection of 101 highway and Central avenue east of La Habra. Others in two cars, all slightly hurt, were Pauline Bareta of La Habra, Mary E. Swanson of Pomona and Mrs. Mary Winter of La Habra. Funeral services for Bart were held Tuesday afternoon. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ruby Barker, and two small children in Brea; parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Barker of Virden, Ill., and their sisters and four brothers at Viden. He had lived in Brea about eight years and was an emblem of the Shaffer Tool company. Honor Extended to Anaheim Girl Miss Rose Marie Mirande, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jean B. rande, 513 W. Broadway, has been chosen by the Los Angeles Free colony to be "Miss Columbia" the Bastille day festivities tom Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation To Be Operated Throughout Summer Services of the bureau of vocational rehabilitation will continue through the summer, it was announced today by Joseph A. Cleyes, superintendent of school. This service is a comparatively new opportunity for adults who have some type of physical disability. It is made possible by a cooperative plan between Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, and Huntington Beach city school systems and the state department of education. William Dohr, district coordinator for this work, says that the bureau offers a three point program of assistance to the disabled person. First, it aids the individual in selecting a vocation; second, it arranges the training necessary to become competent in the chosen field; and third, it assists in finding employment. All individuals over 16 years of age who have some type of physical disability are asked to register with Dohr at the bureau's district office, 1120 S. Main street, Santa Ana, or at the Anaheim high school. Further information may be obtained by phoning the high school, 2231, or the district office at Santa Ana 5288. Dohr will maintain office hours for personal interviews between 10 and 12 o'clock on July 20 and August 3 at the Anaheim high school. He can be reached every afternoon after 3:30 at the district office in Santa Ana. Various physical conditions which may make a person eligible include heart trouble, hearing difficulties, vision deficiencies, arrested tuberculosis, paralysis in any form, amputations of any kind, and many of the permanent diseases. "Individuals with one of the above listed conditions have two elements to take into consideration in their own behalf," Dohr indicated today. "First, vocational opportunities are available if properly trained. Second, they should be trained in specialized lines that will not contribute to increasing their present disability." Approximately 50 individuals with one of the several disabilities indicated above are now receiving training through the rehabilitation bureau in Orange county. Some 14 others who have completed their training are now satisfactorily employed. "This bureau is entirely free to the disabled," Dohr stated, "and will furnish all tuition, supplies, and tools necessary for their training. Here is an excellent opportunity for those eligible to use it, and therefore all disabled individuals are asked to register."
