Anaheim Personalities James E. Coughran Operator of an airport at 20 years of age is a record that may not be James E. Coughran's exclusively, but it certainly won't be equalled many times. Coughran is associated with his father, Sam Coughran, in the operation and management of the Anaheim Airport, which is situated just west of the city about five miles. It would be nice to say that Coughran is a native of Anaheim, but such isn't the case. This city can claim him to all practical purposes, because he was born in Whittier and came to Anaheim when only a year old. Fullerton has just about as much claim to the young airport operator, however, because he chose to attend high school in that city. He gained considerable popularity in school as a saxophone player in the band and a member of the swimming and water polo teams. It isn't a bit surprising that Jim Coughran rates his first solo airplane flight as the outstanding event of his life. He had had only eight hours of instruction from his father when he took a Cub No. 50 aloft by himself. Young Coughran didn't go right into the airport business after leaving school, being employed for awhile at Knott's Berry Place first. He joined his father at the Anaheim airport last May and took charge as operator as soon as he learned to fly a ship. Program Arranged For Memorial Day Observance Here Frederick Chemberlen Will Be Speaker at Observance May 30 Frederick T. Chamberlen, executive secretary of Fullerton union high school district, has been selected as the speaker at the annual Memorial Day services to be conducted in Anaheim cemetery on May 30. Announcement of the selection was made this week by William P. Webb and Henry Baxter, members of Anaheim American Legion post and co-chairmen of the event. This year's observance will follow the same general plan of past years, opening at 10:30 a.m. with the assembly at the flag pole. Colors will be raised by Boy Scout troop No. 72. Following the explanation of the monument to the Unknown Soldier by a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post and the placing of wreaths upon the tomb by representatives of the various patriotic orders of the city, soldiers from Fort McArthur will fire a salute and taps will be played by American Legion post buglers. Perfect Attendance Dr. Truxaw in Rotary Anaheim Rotary club celebrated its 20th anniversary Monday noon, but most of the spotlight was focused upon Dr. J. W. Truxaw's record of having never missed a Rotary meeting since he joined the service group as a charter member. When forced to miss a meeting in Anaheim, Dr. Truxaw has attended the meeting of some other Rotary club within the week. Oscar H. Renner also received a major part of the spotlight because his attendance at the meeting kept intact a record of perfect attendance for 18 years. The two men received pins from President Ronald Brandon and were officially lauded by S. C. Hartranft, program chairman of the day. Guest speaker at the meeting was Frank F. Merriam, former governor of California, whose talk was a plea for the rewriting of the state's constitution. The constitution, he said, is the longest and most poorly written of all state constitutions, having 80,000 words and 180 amendments. Much obsolete material is included in the document. Merriam disclosed that a legislative interim committee in 1925 drew up plans for a new constitu- Theater Bunco Ring is Broken Arrest of six young Santa Ana men, who implicated two others already in custody in San Diego on different charges, this week broke up a gang which had assertedly been "buncoing" audiences in Fox West Coast theaters of the county for the past several months.

Nutt, 20, of Huntington Beach and Alfred Lopera, 22, of Santa Ana were the others implicated. The six were arrested by sheriff's officers and Santa Ana police, who said that management of the theaters was not implicated in any way. The group worked with cooperation of a theater usher in planting the winning ticket. Nutt assertedly declared he had won a $1500 “pot” while attending the Anaheim Fox theater on Feb. 17. Check Writer Given Leniency Felony charges against Helen Cowan, 24, were dismissed during a preliminary hearing before City Judge Frank Tausch and a petty theft charge was substituted when the district attorney’s office reported that Mrs. Cowan will undergo psychopathic treatment. Following the explanation of the monument to the Unknown Soldier by a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post and the placing of wreaths upon the tomb by representatives of the various patriotic orders of the city, soldiers from Fort McArthur will fire a salute and taps will be played by American Legion post buglers. At the close of the ceremony at the tomb, the audience will gather in front of the mausoleum for the remainder of the program. Rev. Don Earl Boatman, pastor of the Church of Christ, will ask the invocation. Mrs. Walter Ross will sing selections appropriate to the occasion.
