Anaheim Personalities Mike Mercurio One look at Mike Mercurio is enough to reveal that he is a man who heartily enjoys himself. Ask him what gives him the most pleasure and he will undoubtedly answer with the one word, "singing." Mercurio enjoys a splendid reputation as a tenor vocalist throughout Orange county and in other parts of southern California, choirs and over the radio. A few years ago he won second place in a popularity contest sponsored by a Santa Ana newspaper, in which he received more than three million votes. But where there is happiness there must be some sorrow and disappointment, and Mercurio is no exception. Two weeks before he was to audition for an opportunity to sing at the Hollywood Bowl he suffered a streptococcus infection of the throat which prohibited him from appearing, and also required that he give up singing and taking lessons for about a year. Although he spends several hours of the day at his Valencia Market at 327 East Center street, Mercurio also finds time for bowling, an occasional game of tennis, week-end trips and the collection of rare coins and old music. Of that last named, he has some compositions that date back as far as the late 1700's and are in their original form. Mercurio, still unmarried in spite of his good looks, was born Although he spends several hours of the day at his Valencia Market at 327 East Center street, Mercurio also finds time for bowling, an occasional game of tennis, week-end trips and the collection of rare coins and old music. Of that last named, he has some compositions that date back as far as the late 1700's and are in their original form. Mercurio, still unmarried in spite of his good looks, was born at Clifton, Arizona, on December 8, 1911, but came to California at an early age and went to Orange union high school. The necessity of earning a living made itself felt about nine years ago and Anaheim appealed to Mercurio. He hasn't changed his mind, and plans to remain here for some years to come. Jess Sisk Very few people in Anaheim are the only ones engaged in their particular line of business, but Jess Sisk, operator of the Pickwick Cab, is one of them. He started his taxi service in Anaheim in 1935, after having been in the garage business here since late in 1923, and now operates two cabs at all times. The outstanding event of Sisk's life, he said, was when he entered the garage business for himself back in his native state of Mississippi in 1918. He was only 23 years old at the time and seven years later he came to Anaheim to work for an automobile dealer for two and a half years before again establishing his own business. An accident which he suffered 10 years ago, in which he lost a leg, was one factor which led him into his present business. Like so many other American men, Sisk's chief hobby is following baseball activity, and he sees as many games as he can. When he can't go to a baseball game he is very receptive to an invitation to play bridge, and he doesn't care much whether it is auction or contract. Charles S. Patterson That he himself was the captor of two bank bandits and that he owned a police dog which led to the capture of two murderers are things about Charles S. Patterson that most of his customers at Patrick's Inn don't know. Patrick's Inn is located on Highway 101 courts will be permitted on lots within the zone which meet certain restrictions and specifications which are included in the ordinance. Plunge Has Good Year Second important action of the council Tuesday evening was reading and accepting of the report of Roy Kirk, plunge manager, on the activities of the city's pool during the summer months. From the standpoint of the number of patrons served, number of swimming lessons given, and receipts the season was one of the most successful in several years, city officials said after reading the report. The council took particular pride in the fact that only three persons out of the total of 24,663 who used the plunge during the summer had to be rescued by attendants at the pool. An additional six persons were given minor first aid treatment. High Purity Rating Also of importance was the high rating for water purity which the plunge received from state examiners. Other statistics included in the report were that swimming lessons were given to 2533 persons during the season and the total receipts were $3,250.65. Members of the staff assisting Manager Kirk were Jean Heying, instructor; Douglas Allen, Keith Beebe, Henry Chapman, Gordon Minder, Vic Schmelzer, attendants; Mrs. Beulah Baker and Mary Hunziker, matrons, and Mrs. Eva Whisnant, cashier. A request from the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for permission to erect scarescrows on the lamp posts in the business district was referred to the public improvements committee. City Clerk Charles E. Griffith was instructed by the council to send letters of condolence to Mrs.J Fred Sidebottom and Mrs. John C. Lamb, widow of late county officials.

Include Citrus Shippers Try Experiment Dry Ice Refrigeration Method Being Used in Test by Anaheim Packers Citrus growers and packing house officials throughout southern California are awaiting with interest the outcome of an experiment in the use of dry ice for refrigeration of railroad freight cars which was started at Anaheim and La Verne, simultaneously Monday. Participating in this experiment here was the Anaheim Cooperative Orange association while the packing house at L Verne taking part is the La Verne Cooperative Citrus association Both are Mutual Orange Distributors affiliates. The cars, equipped with new refrigeration device, are no longer route to New York, accompanied by a group of statisticians who will make temperature readings all along the route. Instrument have been installed in various parts of the cars to determine the temperature, with readings being taken from the top of the car, was said. The purpose of the experiment is to find, if possible, a more economical method of shipping citrus fruit from southern California to the central and eastern markets. Similar methods have been used with satisfactory results on vegetables and deciduous fruits, and it is hoped that the experiment will be successful with citrus. The dry ice-making equipment was installed in a space in the top of the usual ice bunkers on the standard refrigerator car Coils from the equipment car the refrigeration out over the boxes of fruit, and then, being heavier than air in the car, the cold air moves downward, creating a constant circulation, thus mostatically controlled. Walter McComb of the Control company of New York Fred Fitzgibbon, traffic manager and J. A. Steward, sales manager Charles S. Patterson That he himself was the captor of two bank bandits and that he owned a police dog which led to the capture of two murderers are things about Charles S. Patterson that most of his customers at Patrick's Inn don't know. Patrick's Inn is located on Highway 101, south of Anaheim. Patterson, who became a police officer at 15 years of age, captured the two bank bandits while serving as a motorcycle officer at San Diego after carrying on an investigation of his own for some time. He received rewards totaling $1275. The dog, "Mohegan," who captured the two murderers has since died. That Patterson knew his work as a peace officer is evidenced by the fact that he served as president (Continued on Page 4) Two Drivers Jailed by Order of Court Reckless driving charges dominated traffic cases handled during the past week by City Judge Frank Tausch, with two motorists being sentenced to jail for 12½ days each and a third being cited to juvenile court.
