Anaheim Personalities Charles S. Smith School teacher, laundry worker and owner, bird fancier, orange grower and furniture store owner: Decipher that code and you have Charles Sumner Smith, partner in Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture company. Smith's interest in birds began several years ago in his native town of Moscow, Idaho, when he won several blue ribbons with prize chickens. Although not now a competitor, Smith still raises pigeons and chickens as a hobby. His second principal recreation is attending baseball games. Charles S. Smith was born at Moscow on December 22, 1883. Felony Suspects Face Prosecution For Crime Here Asserted Burglar and Check Writer Held to Answer In Superior Court Information against two men arrested in Anaheim, Harold W. Gough on a charge of burglary, and William C. Jarrell on a charge of issuing bad checks, will be filed in department three of the superior court tomorrow morning. The suspects were held to answer in the higher court at the close of preliminary hearings conducted before City Judge Frank Tausch last Saturday morning. Gough faces prosecution for assertedly burglarizing the Henry Brothers drug store at 201 West Center street early on the morning of December 20. The 27-year-old resident of 416 North Emily street surrendered himself to Police Chief James S. Bouldin the day after Christmas, thereby keeping the promise which his wife had made to Bouldin on Monday before Christmas. Fictitious Check Jarrell, 36-year-old transient who was originally booked under the name of James Kelley, faces prosecution on a charge of attempting to pass a bogus check at Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture company. Smith's interest in birds began several years ago in his native town of Moscow, Idaho, when he won several blue ribbons with prize chickens. Although not now a competitor, Smith still raises pigeons and chickens as a hobby. His second principal recreation is attending baseball games. Charles S. Smith was born at Moscow on December 22, 1883, and attended public schools in that city and was graduated from the University of Idaho. He entered the teaching profession but after three years of teaching in country schools gave up that work for employment in a laundry. Sometime later he purchased a laundry of his own, operating it until 1921 when he sold the business to come to California. In December, 1929, he purchased a half interest in the Riutcel-Wethered Furniture store, which then became Riutcel-Smith Furniture company. The business is now known as Smith-Reafsnyder following the recent retirement of A. C. Riutcel. Modest Charles Smith classifies himself as "a work horse who works close to the wheel." Never the less, he finds time to take an active part in the affairs of the Anaheim Kiwanis club, Knights of Pythias lodge, and Modern Woodmen lodge. His slogan is, "The harder you work, the faster the time goes." Smith and Nellie Wethered were married in Moscow, Idaho, on September 21, 1905, and they have three children, Harold, born June 25, 1906; Mildred, born March 12, 1908; and Eloise, born July 14, 1918. Earl Goodrum Just to look at Earl Goodrum, used car manager for Robert H. Boney, you wouldn't think he was a big game hunter. But he can take you to his home and show you a rug which originally was an Rites Conducted For Miss Gilbert Funeral services for Miss Frances Gilbert, 38, were conducted last Friday afternoon from the Books, Campbell & Kaulbars Center street surrendered himself to Police Chief James S. Bouldin the day after Christmas, thereby keeping the promise which his wife had made to Bouldin on Monday before Christmas. Fictitious Check Jarrell, 36-year-old transient who was originally booked under the name of James Kelley, faces prosecution on a charge of attempting to pass a bogus check at the J. C. Penney company store here Christmas Eve. Testimony during the preliminary hearing for Gough was given by John M. Henry and Archie M. Henry, partners in the drug store; Mrs. Belle McAfee, employee of the store who discovered the burglar as she reported for work; Chief Bouldin, and Herman Youngkeit, merchant policeman. The merchants identified articles which had been stolen from the store, while Mrs. McAfee described her experience of entering the store and finding the burglar in the prescription room. Bouldin testified to his conversations with Gough and his wife and the ultimate surrender and asserted confession of the suspect. Youngkeit told of seeing Gough on Center street about an hour before the burglary took place. Defendant Silent Gough did not testify and asked only one question when given the opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. Evidence against Jarrell was offered by B. J. Fletcher, assistant of an Orange bank, who testified the bank had no account for a person named G. A. Lucas; Mrs. Melba K. Hughes, saleslady at the Penney store, who told of taking the check from the suspect and turning it over to Manager T. W. Stuard for approval, and Stuard, who described the circumstances leading to Jarrell's arrest. Chief Bouldin also testified, quoting the defendant as admitting the check was no good and that he had other checks out "everywhere." Bail for both men was set at $5000, which they failed to raise. Woman Arrested As Check Writer Mrs. Pruella Nay Abbott or Anaheim Accused by Fullerton Police Arrest of Mrs. Purella Nay Abbott, 48-year-old Anaheim business woman, on a warrant charging fictitious checks, was appenced this morning by John Gregory, chief of police at Fullerton.. The arrest was made Tuesday afternoon and Mrs. Abbott was arraigned immediately before City Judge H. I. Spence at Fullerton. Preliminary hearing was adjourned for January 7 and bail was fixed at $1000. Apprehension of Mrs. Abbott came as the result of investigation which have been carried on for long period of time, Chief Gregory said. She is accused of passing fradulent checks in Anaheim and Fullerton and other cities through southern California. Chief Gregory said that she was identified by certain merchants in the city, but that other business people of Anaheim were unable identify the suspect as the woman who had victimized them. Two or more of the cheats which Mrs. Abbott is accused of passing were issued during December of 1939, while others were given during the past month. Merchants Approved Schedule of Events 800-pound bear which he himself killed during a hunting trip in Arizona several years ago. Goodrum slew the beast after chasing him on horseback for about eight miles in mountainous terrain 125 miles northeast of Phoenix, Ariz. That is just one event in Goodrum's interesting life. Another highlight was his success in arguing a damage suit against a large railroad company in which he obtained a settlement of $35,000 after the jury had awarded damages of $50,000. Goodrum's two years of studying law in college stood him in good stead on that occasion. Born in Clayborn county, Mississippi, Goodrum studied agriculture at Mississippi A. & M. because his father wanted him to take over management of their large plantation. Farming, however, didn't appeal to Goodrum, so he left home and went into railroading work. It was near the close of his employment with the railroad that he was involved in the accident which led to his succ- (Continued on Page 4) Rites Conducted For Miss Gilbert Funeral services for Miss Frances Gilbert, 38, were conducted last Friday afternoon from the Backs, Campbell & Kaulbars chapel, with Rev.

Chants Approve Schedule of Events Native Daughter of Anaheim Dies Another of Anaheim's close ties to its early days was severed last Saturday when Mrs. Mary Boege Stock, 70-year-old native of the city, died at Santa Ana Valley hospital after a lingering illness.

Joint Effort for Promotion Urged Northern Orange County May Co-operate in Move to Obtain Industries Industrial, commercial and residential zoning on the basis of the entire northern Orange county area for a planned development program in which all communities will share and in which all will co-operate in promotion, is the objective of a group of civic leaders representing Fullerton, Anaheim and Buena Park, and in which representatives of other cities in this district have been invited to join. Expressing the opinion that industrial development for this area is of vital importance, but too large a problem for any one city or community to handle alone, the cooperative program has been outlined and presented to groups of civic minded persons by the originators of the idea. Pooling of promotional funds for a more extensive program to bring advantages of the entire area to attention of manufacturers as an ideal location for industry, is expected to be a factor in the project. The originators of the program have expressed the belief that industrial development might be confined to areas of cheaper land ideally suited for these purposes and without interfering with agricultural development or the growth of fine residential sections. This industrial development included in the quota of 18 sets for that board. Five Volunteers Three of those from Anah (Board 173) are men who previously asked for immersion into service, whilst of the five from this city care service by the Fullerton board made the same request. Men are Joseph Leopold Lily 833 South Philadelphia Carroll Snyder, 412½ North Street; and Jesus Flores Mae 617½ East Chartres street; Anaheim; and Augustine Munoz, 217 East La Palmieri and Joaquin Dorado Tovar North Los Angeles street; Fullerton's board.

Musicants Approve Schedule of Events Wide sales events during the coming year were approved by members of the Anaheim Merger association during that ordinance's first meeting of the year this morning. Events are held for every month during the year. Kicker at the meeting was R. R. Murray, head of the department of music education at Fullerton High School, who discussed fundamental merchandising and his principal points were real equipment of the store, design and pricing of merchandise personnel of the business. Ms. Leave Today For Camp Osceola Group of 23 boys, accompanied by J. B. Wilbur and W. H. Hayley, left this morning for Camp Osceola for a three-day trip.

Musician to Appear Before Lions Club Frederick V. Bowers, composer, singer, pianist and lecturer, will present a program at the meeting of the Anaheim Lions club tomorrow noon at the Elks club. Invitation has been extended to nonmembers of the club to attend the meeting and reservation should be made with Secretary Vic LaMont, according to Dr. William McCarthy, program chairman. Among Bowers' compositions are "Because I Love You," "Always, When I Think of You," and others. He comes to Anaheim with the reputation of presenting excellent entertainment, Dr. McCarthy said. Returns Lost Purse With All Contents Anna Lucille Morris of Route 1, box 247, Buena Park, knows there is at least one honest person in the world. Mrs. George F. Sampson of 752 North Olive street qualified Saturday for that honor when she found and returned to the police station a purse lost by Miss Morris earlier in the day. The purse contained an endorsed check for $18, cash amounting to $2 and valuable papers. A more extensive program to bring advantages of the entire area to attention of manufacturers as an ideal location for industry, is expected to be a factor in the project. The originators of the program have expressed the belief that industrial development might be confined to areas of cheaper land ideally suited for these purposes and without interfering with agricultural development or the growth of fine residential sections. This industrial development at any point within the area would bring a direct benefit to the entire district, it was pointed out, as a result of increased payrolls and comprehensive planning through unified effort. Thus far, Fullerton is the only community to completely endorse the program officially, the city council having approved the plan and given assurance that funds will be made available for that city's share in a joint promotional project. The plan has been given community endorsement at Buena Park, which is expected to benefit materially and directly from industrial promotion on a larger scale than any one community might find possible. Anaheim has not acted officially on the program, but the matter has been presented to the chamber of commerce and a committee from that body has reported favorably. Development of Manchester boulevard and widening of West Commonwealth avenue in Fullerton with improvement of highway facilities throughout the district for ease of transportation and travel and to tie the various communities more closely together, is another objective of the program. Thus far the project is still in the formative stage with no definite action taken pending the uniting of all communities and civic and official agencies in the program, it was pointed out. Riding on Anaheim float was pulled by Bob Doolyn Bush, were Barbara Nancy Sue Weimer, Eileen Helen Hill, Margaret Dun Colleen Royers.

Directing these meetings on behalf of The Gazette will be E. Whitney Stearns, an expert in the field of business research... Stearns is recognized as one of the leading specialists in the field of city-wide merchandising in the nation. Part of his work in this field has been to make special market and reader-interest surveys for advertising agencies and large chain store operafors. He recently spent more than a year in making a study of city-wide, long-range planning for development of profit potentialities to their maximum in small cities. He has applied the knowledge gained from that endeavor in making his extensive surveys in Anaheim. 20 Years' Experience During his 20 years in the newspaper field, Stearns has studied the merchandising methods of Wannamaker, Macy, Bamberger, and other large department stores, specialty stores, real estate, used car dealers and almost every other type of retail business. His studies have included sales, advertising, credit and finance. He has made more than 50,000 contacts of business men and women throughout the United States in making these studies. Stearns also holds the record for sale of classified advertising in the United States and has promoted sales for individual businesses showing increases ranging from 25 per cent to 900 per cent. The Gaette is the 25th paper that Stearns has served. Some of the other newspapers are Springfield (Mass.) Republican and Daily News, Boston Herald-Traveler, Providence News, Newark Star-Eagle, Winston-Salem Journal-Sentinel, Glendale News-Press., Los Angeles Times, San Pedro News-Pilot and Torrance Herald.

Five Houses Benefit Associations participating in this devidend are Anaheim Cooperative Orange association, Olive Hillside Groves, Garden Grove Mutual Orange association, Fullerton Cooperative Orange association, and Orange Mutual Citrus association. In addition to these cash dividends, Cal-Juices has also invested a like amount in improvement of plant and equipment. During the 1938 season, products manufactured by Cal-Juices, Inc., consisted only of pure orange juice, Lark concentrates and cattle feed. The last two seasons however, the principal product of the plant has been the Real Gold orange concentrate, Real Gold orange juice, and cattle feed, with the maximum output that of the Real Gold orange concentrate which is headed toward national distribution through some of the largest wholesale and retail outlets in the United States. National Recognition "The initial period of operation of any new business, particularly a food product, is always its most difficult one," said Harry W. Pierce, general manager of Cal-Juices, Inc. "We had many problems to overcome and more especially those which attend the introduction into the national food field against established competition of a new product such as was Real Gold orange concentrate. It is true dealers and consumers were (Continued on Page 8) Ball Park Lease Signed Saturday An indenture of lease between the city of Anaheim and Robert Hampton Ripley of San Diego for use of the La Palma park baseball stadium was signed last Saturday, thus assuring this city of a place in the new California State baseball league. The lease is for five years rather than 10 years as was originally planned, it was announced by City Clerk Charles E. Griffith. It also specified that the lighting equipment which Ripley will install will cost $9,357. Ripley is now completing his plans for assembling a club." He Historical House Struck by Auto Anaheim's historical Mother Colony house on North West Street, home of the Mother Colony chapter, D.A.R., had a nose brush with destruction Monday morning when it was struck by an automobile which had gone out of control following a collision with another car. Fortunately, little damage was done to the museum building. Drivers of the cars involved in the accident were A.H. Pibel and George D. Ehrle, according to police records. The latter's car went out of control after the crash, breaking through the fence in front of the building and coming to a stop against the porch. The Mother Colony house was the first home in Anaheim, having been built in 1857 by George Hansen, engineer for the Los Angeles Vineyard society.

There will be no charge to merchants attending the meetings, nor will they be obligated in any way, it was pointed out. Santa Anan Speaks To Local Rotarians "Our defense is what is in the hearts of each of us," declared Dr. Hiram M. Curry of Santa Ana while speaking to members of the Anaheim Rotary club Monday noon. Subject of Dr. Curry's talk was "This We Will Defend." While we live in a land of abundances, our danger lies in our unawareness of the need to protect ourselves, the speaker said. The people of the United States must maintain the constitution and must fight for their liberties. He closed by declaring that this nation's job is to keep the land free and to preserve it for future generations. Russell Evans was program chairman of the day. Forged Check Taken By Local Merchant A bogus check of $33.87 was passed by a Mexican man at the Harbeson liquor store last week, police were informed Saturday.
