Anaheim Personalities James S. Bouldin Fourteen years' service in organized professional baseball, participation in all of the battles in which the 26th division of the United States infantry took part during the World War, and promotion from patrolman to chief of the Anaheim police within six months after joining the force, are some of the highlights of the career of James S. Bouldin. It wasn't long after he had received his diploma from the Clay Center, Kansas, high school that Bouldin broke into professional baseball, joining the St. Joseph, Mo., club in 1903 as a left-handed pitcher. He also saw service in the Southern, Texas, Missouri Valley and Three-I leagues, and rounded out his experience as manager of the Muskogee and Tusla clubs in the Western association. When the United States entered the World War, Bouldin went into the army, becoming a sergeant in Company L, 26th division of the infantry. "I walked and saw the world," is the way he expresses it. He was also in the army of occupation on the Rhur and returned to the United States in 1923. Bouldin is now a member of the American Legion, and also holds membership in the Anaheim Blue Lodge, Royal Arch Masons, Knights Templar Commandery and Shrine. Permanent Ban of Communists Will Be Sought Action of State Legislature Not to Affect Suit in Superior Court Regardless of the fact that the state legislature passed a bill outlawing the communist party from the ballot in future state elections, an order will be sought next Tuesday making permanent a temporary injunction issued late last week by Superior Judge Harry C. Westover restraining Secretary of State Paul Peek from placing Reds on the ballot for the November election. The local action is necessary, it was pointed out by Dr. Lee C. Deming of Anaheim, because the action of the state legislature will not take effect until 90 days after it is signed by Governor Clubert Olson, which would be after the general election is held on November 5. Would Bar Reds If, however, the permanent injunction is signed, the names of communist candidates will not appear on the ballot. The writ of injunction issued Bouldin is now a member of the American Legion, and also holds membership in the Anaheim Blue Lodge, Royal Arch Masons, Knights Templar Commandery and Shrine. Bouldin joined the Anaheim police department on April 15, 1928, and on September 15, 1928 he was appointed chief, a position he has filled ever since. His principal hobby is keeping a scrap album of events of personal interest, but he also finds time to play a game of golf now and then and to go to an occasional baseball game. He has, incidentally, started several young players into professional baseball, many of whom have enjoyed good success. Bouldin and his wife, the former Emma Horner, reside at 307 East Alberta street. They have no children. Pruella Nay Abbott A lowly burro almost cost Anaheim people the pleasure of knowing one of the city's most interesting personalities, Mrs. Pruella Nay Abbott, sole owner and operator of the Anaheim Flower shop, located on 101 highway, just below the Manchester boulevard intersection. The burro incident occurred in April, 1913, in the San Jacinto mountains, not long after Pruella Nay had become the bride of Earl Allan Abbott. Briefly, the animal trampled Mrs. Abbott so severely that she contracted pneumonia, spinal meningitis and nervous prostration, but she gamely fought her way back to health. Mrs. Abbott came to Anaheim in 1920 to make her home, because, she said, "I went into Falkenstein's store and was so impressed by Blanche Mickle that I wanted to live here..." Blanche Mickle is now Mrs. Kurt Eystein. Establishment of the Anaheim Florist shop is an outgrowth of Mrs. Abbott's 15 years of experience in the business. She started in the florist business here early in 1925 and takes pride in the fact that she was the first florist in Anaheim to belong to the Florists' Telegraph Delivery association. Would Bar Reds If, however, the permanent injunction is signed, the names of communist candidates will not appear on the ballot. The writ of injunction issued last week by Judge Westover against Peek was accompanied by an order to the secretary of state to show cause in superior court at Santa Ana on October 3 (next Tuesday) why the injunction should not be made permanent. Plaintiffs in the suit were the America's Sixth Column, Inc., and Dr. Deming, and it was filed by Attorneys Thomas L. McFadden of Anaheim, and Joseph L. Fainer and Bernard C. Calhoun, both of Los Angeles. Communist doctrines and alleged subversive objectives were attacked in the petition for injunction, which charged the party and its nominees have at various times proclaimed they are opposed to the United States' form of government and will not maintain support and defend the constitution and laws of the country, or bear true allegiance. Russian Principles On the other hand they have, the petition states, proclaimed advocated and recognized the principles enunciated by Russia and the communist party there, and exist solely for the purpose of revolution and destruction of this county's mode of living, constitution and government. The America's Sixth Column states its purpose is to study the country's founding principles, to educate people to advantages of democratic government, to study all persons directly or indirectly spreading doctrines and to publicize information gained from such investigations, to acquaint people with their civil rights and defend such rights if necessary, to "render aid and succor to the downtrodden" and to oppose passage of unjust laws which would restrain or curtain rights and liberties of citizens. Boosters Enjoy Talk on Aviation When I went to San Bernardino was from a desire to personally me to be a member of his party during to some of the local Republican leaders there whom I knew, and somehow they fixed it for me to be a guest of the party. I was asked to sit on the platform during Willkie's first speech in California, at San Bernardino, and it was there that I got the thrill of shaking hands with that great American. I left the party at Santa Ana, but went back there the next morning to join Willkie's auto caravan. I was fortunate enough to be in the same car with Congressman Charles Halleck, who nominated Willkie at the national convention, along with a Washing Star reporter. I didn't bring anything along with me, as I figured on staying with the group only until after the speech at the Los Angeles coliseum. The caravan went through Long Beach where the crowds stopped us several times, and then we went over to Douglas and North American aviation plants in El Segundo, which were inspected by Mr. Willkie. From there we went through downtown Los Angeles, where on Spring street we were showered with confetti, paper, etc., and people climbed the street cars to get a look at Willkie. After much delay, we reached the city hall, and then proceeded to the Biltmore hotel, and later to the coliseum. After that I was asked to go along to the Hollywood Bowl for Willkie's speech to the people of the movie industry. Without realizing exactly what was happening, I found I was still a member of the party as it was being escorted to the union depot and aboard the special train. The first night out, because of the overcrowded conditions of the cause, she said, "I went into Falkenstein's store and was so impressed by Blanche Mickle that I wanted to live here." Blanche Mickle is now Mrs. Kurt Eystein. Establishment of the Anaheim Florist shop is an outgrowth of Mrs. Abbott's 15 years of experience in the business. She started in the florist business here early in 1925 and takes pride in the fact that she was the first florist in Anaheim to belong to the Florists' Telegraph Delivery association. Flowers aren't the only things Mrs. Abbott knows, however. She is a graduate nurse from Bethesda hospital of Topeka, Kans., and also received a diploma from the Blackburn college of dressmaking and designing in Los Angeles. Flowers and floral arrangements are her first loves, however, and she is now teaching evening classes in floral art work. Mrs. Abbott was active in Red Cross work during the World War, working under Ray Starbuck in Fullerton. Interests outside of her business and her home are centered on the Amaranth of Liberty court, of which she is associate matron, and the Eastern Star. She is also a member of the Methodist church. Walker W. Adams Historians of Mexico and Mexican folk lore could obtain much authentic information for their works if they would only come to Anaheim and learn from Dr. Walker W. Adams some of the things he knows about our sister republic to the south. For it is proud claim of Dr. Walker that he has seen more of Mexico than any white man. "I rode mule-back through sparsely settled parts of Mexico for 100 days and met a great many Aborigines during my journey," Dr. Adams said. Furth- (Continued on Page 4) Boosters Enjoy Talk on Aviation John Kennedy, public relations man for Lockhead Aircraft company, discussed the history and future of the airplane industry at the meeting Tuesday evening at Henry's Drive-In cafe of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Some 50,000 persons are now employed in the industry in southern California he said, and predicted that the number will be increased by 50 per cent during the coming year. Orange county will be unable to obtain an important aircraft factory until such time as it acquires an industrial airport, Kennedy declared in answering a question from the floor. First Draft Guess For Anaheim is 38 Anaheim will have 38 young men among the 437 from Orange county who will probably be summoned in the first conscription for military service, it appeared this week after a study of registration estimates had been studied. Registration will be held on October 16. Preliminary estimates for Orange county indicate that 17,500 men will be registered. The final figure is reached on the basis of the estimate by Adjutant General Mittlestadt that only one of each 40 men registered will be called in the grst draft. After much delay, we reached the city hall, and then proceeded to the Biltmore hotel, and later to the coliseum. After that I was asked to go along to the Hollywood Bowl for Willkie's speech to the people of the movie industry. Without realizing exactly what was happening, I found I was still a member of the party as it was being escorted to the union depot and aboard the special train. The first night out, because of the overcrowded conditions of the train, I slept in a chair in the press lounge. I continued with the tour up the San Joaquin valley to Sacramento, which included a hearty welcome at the Bakersfield Frontier Days celebration and (Continued on Page 5) St. Michael’s Day To Be Celebrated St. Michael's day, September 29 will be celebrated next Sunday and Monday by members of St. Michael's Episcopal church, it was announced this week by the Rev.

First night out, because of crowded conditions of the stadium Project Will Start Soon Construction of New Stands Will Increase Capacity to 4200 Persons Construction of the new grandstands at La Palma park baseball stadium will start sometime between October 1 and October 15, City Engineer E. P. Hopgood said this week. Actual starting date will be determined by WPA officials in Los Angeles and will be dependent upon availability of workmen required for the project, the city engineer declared. President Franklin Roosevelt gave his official approval to the project late last week, a special telegram from Congressman Harry R. Sheppard disclosed. The federal government, through the Works Projects administration, has allocated $8,328 to the project. The plans of the job call for construction of additional bleachers along the first base line to accommodate 1148 spectators, and installation of an office under the new stands. The addition will bring the seating capacity of the stadium to about 4200 persons, Hapgood said. Plans for the improvement were first suggested last spring by Connie Mack, president-manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, when his club was training here. The Philadelphia club will pay about half of the sponsor's share of the project, the total cost of which will be approximately $11,500. Fast and the later hour for opening businesses will enable more of the employees of the various stores to attend the opening event of the annual Hallowe'en festival, members of the board felt.

The parade will form on Claudina street, just north of Center street, and the procession will follow Center street to Lemon street and thence north to La Palma park where it will disband at the baseball stadium. The circus, a new feature on the program, will be held at the stadium immediately after the juvenile parade is concluded. Several bands for the mamonth parade in the evening have already been obtained by Dr. J. Niels Boege, it was reported, including the Anaheim union high school band, the Anaheim Drum and Bugle corps, the Southgate Boys and Girls band and the Orange union high school organization. Dr. Boege has opened negotiations for several other groups, including at least two from Los Angeles. The float parade has begun its activities, Chairman A. E. Schumacher announced. Fifth Columnists Active in State "Regardless of what they call themselves — Fascist, Nazi, or Communist — they are simply different organizations with a similar goal," Dr. Ed Mulligan of Santa Ana declared Monday while speaking before members of the Anaheim Rotary club at the Elks clubhouse. The speaker was introduced by Lee Deming, program chairman of the day. Dr. Mulligan told his audience that he has devoted much of his time recently to a private investigation into communistic activities locally. "There are as many fifth colunists in America now as there were in the countries which Hitler has overrun—and half of them are in California," the Garden Grove Mutual Org association; and Joe Huerte, representing Orange Mutual Citizens Association.

Dr. Mulligan told his audience that he has devoted much of his time recently to a private investigation into communistic activities locally. "There are as many fifth colmunists in America now as there were in the countries which Hitler has overrun—and half of them are in California," the speaker declared. He reminded his listeners that Rotary clubs in Europe have been cleaned out, adding "and they may be wiped out here if you don't take an immediate and vigorous stand for Americanism." One of the best ways to take that stand, he said, is to turn the searchlight on all candidates for public office and be sure to elect those who are only true Americans. Edwin A. Maher was inducted into membership in the club by S. C. Hartranft during the business meeting. Woman Blamed for Fatal Auto Mishap Miss Mildred Gallagher, 23, of Buena Park, was held responsible by a coroner's jury early this week for the accident late last Wednesday on Lincoln avenue that cost the life of Wenasloa Aguilera, 51, of Anaheim.

THE GAZETTE IS THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER IN ORANGE COUNTY Now in Its 70th Year Phone Anaheim 2414 THOMAS H. KUCHEL STARTS CAMPAIGN To Carry State For Wendell Willkie New GOP Chairman, of California in North Today Thomas H. Kuchel, newly-elected chairman of the California Republican state central committee, is in San Francisco today conferring with leaders in the movement to elect Wendell L. Willkie president of the United States. He expects to be in the north about three days. Before leaving Anaheim last night, Kuchel made the following statement about the campaign in California, which he is directing by virtue of his party chairmanship: "The presidential campaign rises above any consideration of traditional party politics and is going to be conducted upon a basis by which the people of all parties, Republicans and Democrats alike, together with minor parties, can join in electing Willkie and McNary, because of the entirely non-partisan principles for which they stand." "Go to People" ANNING COMMISSION'S ANNUAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL ities of the city planning mission and plans that body made for future work were led to the Anaheim city Tuesday night. The ination was presented in the form of an annual report, and prepared by G. Millard planning engineer and secretary to the commission. Standing accomplishments of the past year were the establishment of a new two-residence zone, and studies were made in regard to Manchester freeway as it will affect Anaheim. Truck routes through the city, a drainage system, and land use problems were also studied, and plans were prepared for four new streets and street extensions. Proposed activities for the coming year include studies on set-back lines for streets and highways, drainage and off-street parking. The report also reviewed other activities of the city which pertain more or less to planning commission activities. The council also received a letter from the First Aid club of Anaheim which pointed to the urgent need for ambulance service in Anaheim. The letter was taken under consideration, awaiting information from the county supervisors as to what they plan to do. City Clerk Charles E. Griffith was instructed to write to the board of supervisors to learn what has been done on the Carbon canyon flood control project. Work on the project was supposed to have started early in July, Griffith said, but apparently nothing has yet been done. Griffith was also instructed by the council to write a letter to Thomas H. Kuchel, commending him on his recent election as chairman of the California Republican state central committee. Final reading and adoption of the ordinance establishing the city tax rate at 70 cents also occupied the board for a few minutes. "Go to People" There is only one way to carry this election in California, and that is to go directly to the people. We intend to do just that. "I shall devote all my energies to the success of this undertaking and ask all who see alike to join with us." Assemblyman Kuchel, who after January 1 will be state senator from Orange county, won the chairmanship of the Republican party after a contest with Leo E. Anderson, chairman of the Los Angeles county. Supports of the Anaheim attorney stressed that he represents the "younger and progressive" element in the Republican party; that he represents a new era disassociated from the Republican leadership of the past, just as Willkie represented an uprising of popular thought and action. Assembly Lauds Kuchel The state assembly Sunday paid tribute to Kuchel when it passed, unanimously, a resolution commending his election to the committee chairmanship. The resolution was introduced by Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange, and others. Individual members, both Republican and Democratic, took part in the flow of oratorical praise heaped upon Kuchel, and the Republican party was congratulated upon electing a man as young as Kuchel for its leader. Anaheim residents all week have joined in the chorus of acclaim for the young senator-elect, many of whom have predicted much higher public office for Kuchel regardless of the outcome of the presidential campaign. Five Newcomers to Anaheim are Listed Five newcomers established their homes in Anaheim last week, according to the list prepared by the Chamber of Com- Legion Post Will Mark Milestone Plans are being completed this week for the Anaheim American Legion post's annual combined birthday party, old-timers night and past commanders' night. William P. Webb, first commander of the post, is directing the arrangements and will act as chairman of the meeting. A 6:30 dinner, to be prepared and served by members of the Legion auxiliary, will open the evening. The program will include talks by several notables and entertainment features, Webb said. The occasion will mark the 21st birthday anniversary of the post. City officials, heads of organizations, and other specially invited guests will attend. Harry Goodman, 60, Is Injured in Fall Harry Goodman, 60, of 107 North Lemon street, was slightly injured shortly after noon Tuesday when he fell and struck his head following a convulsive seizure. The accident occurred at 220 North Olive street. An ambulance was summoned and Goodman was taken to the county hospital for emergency treatment. Save on Cleaning! —on pressing, too.
