VOLUME LXXI Food Stamp Plan Discussed With Anaheim Grocers Meeting Held Here Last Night Acquaints Merchants With Set-Up Most of Anaheim's retail food merchants were represented at the meeting last night in the city hall during which the food stamp plan of the Surplus Marketing administration was explained. The plan will go into effect in Orange county soon. Issuance of blue stamps in Orange county will result in annual revenue to food stores amounting to approximately $347,000, it was said. This figure is in addition to the orange stamps which public assistance families will purchase in order to receive the free blue stamps. Revenue from orange stamps is estimated to be in excess of $700,000 annually in Orange county. Blue stamps are used to purchase foods listed as surplus, and are given to families in amounts equal to one-half the value of orange stamps.

Miehle Miehle is a well-known name in the printing trade, being applied to a widely-used press, and it is a coincidence that Harry E. Miehle, director of the used car department of McCoy Motor company, began his business career in the newspaper field. His start in the printing business as printer's devil at the Los Angeles Times is an unusual story in itself. Miehle, as an 8-year-old boy in Riverside, entered a contest selling subscriptions to the Times, winning seventh place against about 1000 competitors. His award was $600 and the promise of a job with the Times when he finished school. Miehle remained in school only about five years longer, and then went to work with the newspaper. He soon learned to operate a linetype and spent about five years as operator and machinist. Miehle left newspaper work for employment as gauger with an oil company, but soon transferred his activities to the cooper mines in Arizona. In 1920 he began his career as an automobile salesman, owning his own business for about four years. His success is that field is attested to by his records of having sold 32 and 31 cars in a single month at various times. During the early part of this year, Miehle placed seventh in a campaign conducted throughout southern California; being the only salesman in Orange county to win a prize. He has been in Anaheim since October, 1939, coming here because he likes an agricultural community. Harry Miehle is a native Californian, having been born at Riverside. He attended elementary school Program Slated Monday Observance of Week Sponsored by P.-T. A And Masonic Lodge Annual observance of Public Schools week will be held next Monday at 7:45 p.m. in the study hall of the Anaheim union high school. Sponsored usually by the Anaheim Masonic lodge, the observance this year will be held in conjunction with the regular April meeting of the high school Parent-Teacher association. Mrs. R. Wollenman, president of the P.-T. A., will open the meeting with a word of greeting. First speaker of the evening will be M. A. Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools, whose subject will be "The Importance of Public Schools Week." Musical selections will be offered by the high school girls' and boys' quartet, after which Miss Genevive Humiston of Santa Ana junior college will review the results of the recent occupational survey of Orange county, giving special emphasis to the Anaheim area. The closing portion of the formal program will be the installation, by Mrs. R. W. Marvin, of next year's officers of the P.-T. A. Those who will be seated are Mrs. Ellis Gaddis, president; Mrs. Ethel Richard, first vice president; Mrs. W. R. Ward, second vice president; Mrs. H. H. Heckman, recording secretary.; Mrs. Charles Organ, corresponding secretary; Mrs. B. E. Baumbach, treasurer; Mrs. L. N. Pickel, auditor, and Mrs. T. E. Harrison, historian. Following the program, an open house will be held by several departments of the school, including agriculture, auto shop, commercial, home economics, journalism, machine shop, mechanical drawing, print shop and wood shop. Members of the Colonist Knights will in order to receive the free blue stamps. Revenue from orange stamps is estimated to be in excess of $700,000 annually in Orange county. Blue stamps are used to purchase foods listed as surplus, and are given to families in amounts equal to one-half the value of orange stamps. MANY BENEFITS Purpose of the food stamp plan is to move price-depressing farm surpluses through established distribution channels to underconsuming families. The plan creates an additional market for farmers through increased domestic consumption, stabilizes farm prices in the more-able-to-buy market, provides millions of under-nourished persons with a better balanced, more nutritive diet, and stimulates business. The eligible public assisted participants voluntarily purchase orange colored food order stamps in an amount approximating their former food purchases, receiving free half again as many blue surplus food order stamps. The stamps are worth 25 cents each in trade at all participating food stores; the orange stamps for all foods for human consumption in the home; the blue stamps only for the officially designated surplus foods normally stocked by grocers. GOVERNMENT PAYS BILLS Redemption from participating stores of both orange and blue stamps, at face value, is made by the federal government. Foods produced in Orange county which are included among the current officially designated surplus foods are oranges, beans eggs, pork, grapefruit, potatoes onions and wheat of which oranges and grapefruit represent about 26 per cent of the total volume. If all of the eligible resident of Orange county participate in the program, it is estimated that more than 15,000 persons in nearly 6500 homes will benefit from the plan. The estimated revenue from surplus food consumption of $347,000 annually is based upon 75 per cent participation by eligible families. The 1935 farm population of Orange county was 18,800. This group would benefit greatly from the additional $347,000 spent here each year. Additional benefits would be received by food firm through sale of the additional merchandise, it was pointed out having sold 32 and 31 cars in a single month at various times. During the early part of this year, Miehle placed seventh in a campaign conducted throughout southern California; being the only salesman in Orange county to win a prize. He has been in Anaheim since October, 1939, coming here because he likes an agricultural community. Harry Miehle is a native Californian, having been born at Riverside. He attended elementary schools there and high school in Alhambra. Later he finished a correspondence course in mechanical and electrical engineering. Miehle has a wide variety of recreational activities, enjoying bowling, baseball, raising a garden and yard work in general. If given the opportunity, he will travel and fish. Miehle brought with him to Anaheim his bride of about four months, the former Lorraine Cutting, whom he married in San Luis Obispo on June 6, 1939. Vacancies Filled In Legion Offices Appointment of two post officers to fill vacancies, and a talk by Superintendent M. A. Gauer of Anaheim elementary schools, were the features of the meeting Monday night at Anaheim American Legion post. Dave Proud was named vice commander to succeed Clark Scott, who resigned because he is now employed in Oregon. Ted Masterson was chosen for a seat on the executive committee.

The percentage of collection was exactly the same as on April 23 last year, it was announced this morning by Miss Jean Barry, deputy tax collector for the city. Collected at the close of business Monday was a total of $74,992.27. The entire tax bill for the current fiscal year is $78,161.54, Miss Barry said. Proposed Handbill Measure Held Up Council Will Act On Ordinance at Meeting Next Tuesday Night The controversial anti-handbill ordinance which has been before the Anaheim city council for the past two weeks was laid on the table again last night. Definite action is scheduled to be taken by the council next Tuesday night. The council decided not to act Carbon Canyon Project Urged By Army Engineer House Flood Control Committee Told Need Of Protective Works Protective works in Carbon canyon, as well as three other flood control basins in Orange county, appeared a step closer today as the result of recommendations made to congress yesterday by Maj. Stanley Reber of the chief of army engineer's staff. The recommendations were made during a meeting of the house flood control committee. Supervisor James A. Baker of Anaheim also attended the session and participated in the discussion of the projects. Included with Carbon canyon in Maj. Reber's recommendations were Aliso, Trabuco and Villa Park basins. All should be commenced in the near future, he said. Cost of the project, including some channel improvements below Carbon canyon, was estimated by Maj. Reber at about $6,300,000. He said, however, it was possible Carbon canyon could be constructed out of $2,640,000 in unused funds under authority granted by congress in approving the original Council Will Act On Ordinance at Meeting Next Tuesday Night The controversial anti-handbill ordinance which has been before the Anaheim city council for the past two weeks was laid on the table again last night. Definite action is scheduled to be taken by the council next Tuesday night. The council decided not to act upon the proposed ordinance last night when Councilman F. A. Yungbluth was called from the meeting early. The other councilmen desired to learn Yungbluth's attitude in as much as he operates a business which might be affected by the new law. Petitions were presented to the council by both proponents and opponents of the measure. In some cases the same person signed both petitions, it was pointed out. A delegation was present from the Anaheim Merchants association supporting the proposal, while Mrs. Margaret Wright voiced the only opposition last night. Vard W. Hannum, light and power department superintendent, was instructed to proceed with the water supply and distribution system project which was started sometime ago, even though an application for WPA grant had been filed. The council received word this week from Congressman H. R. Sheppard that President Roosevelt had approved the project. It is believed, however, that the work may be completed before WPA officials can complete the necessary steps to provide the funds. Tentative plans for new subdivisions in Anaheim were discussed informally, but no action taken as neither plan has been approved by the planning commission. The plans were submitted Henry Greenwold on property lying south of Vermont St. and west of Los Angeles St., and by W. W. Phelps for property north of Wilhemina St. and east of Clementine. Mayor Charles A. Pearson re-appointed Miss Mary Alice Grimshaw and Miss E. Kate Rea as library trustees for periods of three years, effective May 1. Director Names Aides for Pageant The Rev. D.

Cost of the project, including some channel improvements below Carbon canyon, was estimated by Maj. Reber at about $6,300,000. He said, however, it was possible Carbon canyon could be constructed out of $2,640,000 in unused funds under authority granted by congress in approving the original $13,000,000 Santa Ana river basin project. This would mean, he explained, that congress would have to authorize new expenditures of approximately $4,000,000. That further authorizations probably would be proposed later on the basis of a comprehensive survey of the entire Santa Ana basin now under way was indicated by the army officer. He said the report is not due from the field until June, but that preliminary findings made it appear "that proper provision can be made for spreading grounds" to build up water tables throughout the area. Maj. Reber particularly emphasized the necessity of constructing Carbon canyon dam. He pointed to the serious conditions resulting from the heavy rains of last month, adding that perfect operation of the new Fullerton dam had not relieve the situation. Baker's testimony corroborated that of Maj. Reber. He told of heavy deposits of sediment that endangered this city "in more ways than one." Scout Structure Plans Developing Although the Boy Scout committee of Anaheim passed a motion permitting the building committee to borrow funds for the construction of a new Boy Scout building here, it is quite unlikely that a loan will be made, Dr. Lloyd Burrows said yesterday. Authorization to make the loan was given during a meeting of the scout group Tuesday afternoon. More than $700 is now available for the new structure, with additional money pledged, Dr. Burrows said. Exact cost of the new building has not yet been determined. The structure will be created on a lot on West Chartres. Working with Dr. Burrows on the building committee are Lee C.

Asked what will be done with the money made by the pageant, Rev. Dow replied that the profit, if any, will be put back into the pageant to create a bigger and better one next year. The pageant will be of real value to Anaheim, even though not a dollar of profit is made, he said. Alice Wright Named "Miss Anaheim" Alice Wright of 201 N.

GAZETTE CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1941 NUMBER 27 oes Suffer Defeat in First Anaheim me in New California State League Santa Barbara Wins 9 to 1 Contest Before Large Crowd Anaheim's Aees dropped another decision to Santa Barbara last night, losing 7 to 4, despite outhitting the Saints. Six errors contributed to the defeat. Tony Chapetta, Manager Joe Huarte and Len Smith pitched for Anaheim, with Fontaine hurling for the Saints. Santa Barbara's big guns carried more power than did those of the Anaheim Aces with the result that the Bob Ripley-owned locals received for a 9 to 1 trouncing in their debut before home fans at La Palma park stadium Tuesday night. Over-anxiousness on the part of the young Aces, plus wet and slippery balls, contributed largely to Anaheim's downfall. Six errors by the infield more than nullified some spectacular outfield work and acceptable pitching by Bus DeVolder, four of the boots leading to six of the Saints' runs.

Anaheim Union High School Junior Over-anxiousness on the part of the young Aces, plus wet and slippery balls, contributed largely to Anaheim's downfall. Six errors by the infield more than nullified some spectacular outfield work and acceptable pitching by Bus DeVolder, four of the boots leading to six of the Saints' runs. The contest was nip-and-tuck for six innings, but the payoff come in the seventh round then the Saints rapped across three runs after two men had been retired. Santa Barbara picked up four more unearned runs in the last frame to make the Aces more uncomfortable. About the only Anaheim person to get the least satisfaction out of the game was Ed Krage, big right-fielder from Orange, who collected the $25 posted by Mayor M. M. McCallen of Huntington Beach for the man to score the first Anaheim run. Krage crossed the plate for the Aces' only tally in the fourth inning, scoring from second base on a line single into left by Pete Charowhas. Krage opened the frame with a single to center and stole second to be in scoring position on Charowhas' bingle. Anaheim threatened several times during the contest, but never got a Pitcher Ray Hathaway when a hit meant a run or two. The Aces rapped out 10 hits, including a double by Jack Blankenship, but left 13 runners stranded on the paths. Fans are still raving today over the brilliant outfielding of Jack Millard, with Krage also coming in for his share of praise. Millard saved two runs in the eighth inning when he snagged Stan Wasiak's liner after a long dash, to retire the side with runners on second an dthird. He made two other nice catches in centerfield, also. Krage almost equaled Millard's brilliant catch with one of his own off Pill's bat in the fourth round. Santa Barbara took a one-run lead in the first inning on singles by John Jorgenson and Manager Bud Clancy and an error by Roy Godfrey at secondbase. Krage got that run back in the fourth, but the Saints went back into the lead in the sixth when Pill scored all the way from firstbase on Wildey Morrison's overthrown of that bag. DeVolder was charged with responsibility for the three Santa Barbara runs in the seventh. George Higgins opened the round. ANAHEIM UNION HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR CLASS TO PRESENT PLAY TOMORROW Arizona dudes will trod the boards at Anaheim union high school tomorrow night when the junior class presents the three-act comedy, "Arizona Dude Ranch," in the auditorium at 8 o'clock. Kay Wilson, as Gail, owner of the dude ranch, and Stanford Harr, a guest at the ranch, are leading characters in the fast-pacing western drama. Other principal characters are Jeff Winslow, manager of the ranch, played by Jerry Winslow; "Wild Hickcup" Sherwood, sheriff, by Rick Alden; Adeline Barclay, a self-possessed woman who came best looking for excitement, by Katy Cawthon; Payson Barclay, or hen-pecked husband, by H. L. Money; Sue Barclay, their pretty daughter, by Ruby Harbeson; Xie Barclay, another daughter, by Jane Saulsberry; Minnie Heha, fat Indian, by Rollo West; Miss Kim, head of the Indian school, by Joan Webb; Lem Streeter, a bud, blustering stage driver, by Mallace Duffy; Curtiss, the United States deputy marshal, by Bernad Baumbach, and prompter, Janice McClary. The story begins with the tale of the escape of the Big Bad Wolfe, who is believed to be hiding somewhere near the Cactus horn ranch. This creates the atmosphere needed for Gail, the ranch owner, to continue with her dude ranch, as she was in fear of losing her guests for lack of excitement. Helen Grant Appy is director of the production, with Miss Edith Weber in charge of designs. Mrs. G. C. Rector Called by Death Funeral services for Mrs. Rollie N. Rector, 67, wife of Rev. G.
