Smith. Tabulation of the county voters has now been completed at the court house in Santa Ana. This shows that Democrats retain the majority in the county as a whole, with 37,318 registered as opposed to 32,894 Republicans. Prohibition and Townsend parties also qualified for the ballot, the former with a registration of 230 and the latter with 553 names.

This was on South Los Angeles street, and his share was the payment for a stretch of 432 feet. The octogenarian, a Valencia orange grower, has been an Anaheim resident for the past 35 years, 15 of which have been spent at his present home address. Prior to that he had lived on South Los Angeles street adjoining the Anaheim Union Water Works. Coming to the United States at the age of six, Geerdes lived successively in Chicago, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota and then again in Chicago. He was about 20 years old when he began his 21-year career as railroad conductor. While in Chicago, he served as street car conductor and established a record of never being a minute late. During the spring of 1907 he came west and bought 10 acres near the water works in this city in July of that year. The ranch soon won the title of "The ShowPlace of Anaheim," because of its (Please turn to page 5) Cadets Invited To Attend Lectures Aviation cadets in this area have received announcements of a series of free lectures to open Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, in Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles.

Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Warns of Fifth Column Activities A half hundred or more prominent Orange county Republican leaders including several from this city took part in a luncheon Saturday in Santa Ana, complimentary to California's Attorney General Earl Warren, Republican candidate for governor. Although Warren's visit to this community was virtually an off-the-record event, he took the opportunity to discuss the political situation in some detail, when introduced as speaker by Justus Craemer of Orange, president of the State Railroad Commission. In challenging what he termed as "four years of mismanagement of Governor Olson's administration," he voiced criticism of the lack of guidance in various emergencies which have arisen. Particularly was this true of the civilian defense set-up, he declared, pointing out that during the crucial period from January to May, Olson failed to call a meeting of the defense council; that he had overloaded both council and staff with political appointees, and disregarded serious problems facing the state. One of the governor's chief derelictions of duty, according to Warren, is in connection with activities of German Consul Fritz Weidermann. He declared that Weidermann had a state-wide sabotage system and fifth column so well organized, that it is only a matter of opportune time when it will strike at the very foundations of the state. Warren believes that this time will coincide with possible military action against California, at which time our glaring lack of sufficient preparedness for civilian defense, may be laid directly at Governor Olson's door. The economy bloc, taxation, attempted legislature purges and other subjects were discussed by the speaker, who ended with a plea for increased interest in state affairs, and an urge to overcome a prevailing apathy among voters. Mrs. McFadden Is Called By Death Death entered the home of one of Orange county's pioneer families this week, with the passage on Sunday, July 26 in Fullerton General hospital, of Mrs. M.

Relief Lists Show Gradual Decrease A gradual but definite decrease in the number of Orange county residents in need of direct aid, was shown by the latest report of the California Taxpayers' association. The total list of those receiving aid in January 1942, was 4,637. This total was lessened by 271 in June, although the aged needy (349) in January had dropped only nine names. The needy blind list of 141 names was unchanged, but there were 79 fewer dependent children requiring aid in June than the 541 listed in January. County indigent aid extended to 606 persons at the beginning of the year, dropped to 423 in the same interval. The sum of $141,405 required for direct aid in January, dropped to $138,819 in June, and the association has expressed the belief that further reductions in the number of persons dependent upon relief are to be expected during the last half of the year. This is because of the demand for workers in war production and in the county's agricultural activities.
