Warmer Current Noticed in Ocean Swimmers and Fishermen of Southland Hail Change In Temperature Swimmers and ocean anglers, attention! Here is interesting information which may affect your summer vacation. Ocean currents are changing. Exactly how much they are changing or from what cause is not yet known, but the old timers along the coast recognize a definite change of some sort which is resulting in a warmer current swinging closer in to shore—bringing with it more fish, more fishermen and more swimmers. Whether this is the warm, Japanese current, moving closer in, or the El Nino current, flowing up from the equator, is a much-debated question. A scientific experiment was made on May 2 in an attempt to settle the question, with the harbor committees of the Long Beach, Wilmington, San Pedro and Los Angeles Chambers of Commerce as joint sponsors. From the steamship Avalon, between Wilmington and Catalina Island, 12 bottles, numbered and hermetically sealed, were dropped overboard at intervals of two miles all along the boat's course. A dozen more were thrown into the sea from the Long Beach city water taxi boat Jericho at like intervals between Catalina and San Clemente islands. Messages in the bottles offer Catalina tickets as rewards for their return with specified date to aid in determining the origin of the warm current. Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB Joe Huarte's Anaheim Athletics found the U. S. Rubber nine much too tough for them Sunday at La Palma stadium and dropped a 9 to 2 decision. The visitors raked Nieblas, Huarte and Drysdale, Anaheim hurlers, for a total of 18 assorted blows. The Athletics got only eight hits off the slants of Gambreau, but one of them was a long triple into centerfield by Joe Heinz. Roy Parker and Johnny Lan Franco each rapped out two hits to lead the Anaheim attack. Manager Huarte intimated during the game that he would show the fans a new pitcher next Sunday, but he declined to identify him. The writer's prediction of last week that Paul Moore, the former Brea-Olinda high school and Fullerton Jaysee runner now wearing the Stanford red, might pull a surprise and beat Louis Zamperini in the mile run at the Trojan-Indian track meet proved to be correct. There is quite a thrill in seeing a "home-town" boy coming through, and we had the experience twice last Saturday, because Moore also captured the two-mile grind from Zamperini and LeRoy Weed, the Trojan distance kings. Moore handled himself expertly in the mile run, holding back enough strength to "outkick" Zamperini and Weed in the final sprint for the tape. Paul's time of 4:11.5 is the fastest he has ever made and he gave indication of being able to run faster when necessary.

According to Hoehler mony, newspapers in California have carried more stories about any other one pharaoh in the Golden State. Cooperating with this plan on plans for rehabilitation California's state governmen Whatever the cause of the higher ocean temperatures along the coast, swimmers and anglers welcome them. Experienced fishermen say the reason why the change has brought better fishing is twofold. "The fish that sport anglers fish for along the southern California coast don't like the cold water any more than the bathers do who dabble their toes in it and then hurry back to a nice, warm spot on the beach," they say. "Big and little, they're all migratory, semi-tropical species. The big fish eat the little fish. And the little fish, in turn, feed on minute forms of plant and animal life which also thrive in the warmer temperatures." MORE ABOUT Anaheim Pageant (Continued from Page 1) who had a part in making the performance a success did all that was asked of him or her and a little more. Music, dances and dramatic work were all done with a skill that was highly complimentary to the talent to be found in Anaheim. Slight Profit Made A slight profit was realized over and above all expenses, it was revealed at a meeting of the pageant association's executive council Tuesday afternoon. It is the intentions of the council to retain the profits in the association's treasury as a basis on which to build and present subsequent presentations. It was suggested that a portion of the surplus be earmarked as a prize to be awarded to the Orange county resident who presents the best history of the city, written in the form of a play. Further developments of the plan will be made later. TEMPERANCE MEETING A public meeting under the auspices of California Drys, Inc., will be given at the Church of Christ next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock. Motion pictures in natural color of the life and beauties of Australia will be shown by W. G. Calderwood, who has recently returned from a second Australian temperance campaign. Miss Norma C. Brown will be the featured speaker. Moore handled himself expertly in the mile run, holding back enough strength to "outkick" Zamperini and Weed in the final sprint for the tape. Paul's time of 4:11.5 is the fastest he has ever made and he gave indication of being able to run faster when necessary. The time for the two-mile was not spectacular, but the three men were running against each other and not worrying about the speed of the pace. Once again Moore had too much left at the finish to be caught. Superiority of the Metropolitan junior college track and field men over the Orange Empire group was convincingly shown last Saturday when Fullerton, king-pin of the Orange Empire, could get but fourth in the all-Southern California meet. Compton, Los Angeles and Long Beach finished ahead of the Hornets, in that order. Santa Ana, dual meet champions of the Orange empire was sixth. Only four first places were won by the Orange Empire runners and field men, with Fullerton and Santa Ana athletes accounting for three of them. Smith and Batinski won the high jump and discus, respectively, for the Hornets, while Bill Morales got off a javelin toss of 184 feet 3 inches to capture that event for the Dons. Flores of San Bernardino won the two-mile in conference record time of 9 minutes 38.3 seconds. Morales is the former Anaheim union high school athlete who has made sensational progress with the javelin since matriculating at Santa Ana junior college. He is one of the five men that Coach John Ward is taking to the Fresno Relays this week end. retain the profits in the association's treasury as a basis on which to build and present subsequent presentations.

Administration of relief in almost every state in the union has been reviewed by the committee, Senator John Phillips, chairman, revealed today, through testimony obtained from Fred K. Hoehler, state welfare director of Ohio, regarded an outstanding authority. The best plans of other states will be used in the committee recommendations for the new relief bill, which it is generally agreed will seek to return administration of relief to counties, vastly curtailing the powers of the SRA. The report will quote Hoehler that injection of politics in relief has been the greatest handicap faced in any state. Criticism of politics in administration of California's SRA has been widespread. According to Hoehler's testimony, newspapers in the east have carried more stories about California's relief situation than about any other one phase of life in the Golden State.

Expenditures of Schools Revealed The Anaheim elementary school district spent an average of $96.66 for current expenditures for each of the 1,304 pupils in average daily attendance in the district in 1938-39, according to a study of the expenditures of elementary school districts in California, recently made public by California Taxpayers' association. Of the $96.66 current expenditures per pupil, $68.23 was spent for teacher salaries and $28.43 for other current expenditures, the association found. The total current expenditure per pupil by the district for last year was an increase over the similar current expenditures for the 1,383 pupils in average daily attendance. Of this, $63.36 was for teacher salaries and $24.60 for other current expenditures. The association found that the district ranked 69th from the highest in average daily attendance among the 184 elementary school districts over 500 average daily attendance in the state. Debt service payments and capital outlays are not included in these figures, which are based on preaudit figures supplied by the state department of education.
