M-72-a, issued October 20, 1942, has ordered the City of Anaheim and other municipalities to collect all tin cans and tin scrap in accordance with certain specified rules, and has ordered said City to forward such cans and scrap to shredding and detinning plants engaged in the precipitation of copper;
NOW, THEREFORE, I. Chas. A. Pearson, Mayor of the City of Anaheim, by virtue of the power vested in me, do hereby pledge the wholehearted support of the People of Anaheim in carrying out the provisions of said Order, and in pursuance therewith do hereby request:
1. That all residents of the City of Anaheim preserve all tin cans and tin scrap.
2. That after emptying any tin can that they immediately wash, rinse out, or otherwise cleanse the same, and after having done so, whenever possible, remove both top and bottom, and in all instances flatten out said cans.
Metropolitan Water District Assures Ample Water Supply
Recently released by officials of the Metropolitan Water district, is a statement setting forth the increased production and use of water during the fiscal year, in Anaheim and other cities and communities served by the district. All previous records have been broken by demand for water to supply war factories, homes and military establishments of the Southland.
Reassurance is given as to the limitless supply of water, even in the unforseen event of a succession of below normal rainfall years. The statement points out that the timely completion of the gigantic Colorado river aqueduct provides enormous water reserves which form one of the county's most abundant and dependable supplies of the necessary fluid.
The aqueduct is not dependent upon local rainfall, but draws its water from the melting snows of the Rocky Mountains, from the 32 million acre feet of reserve storage in Lake Mead (the waters impounded directly back of Boulder Dam) and the 700,000 acre feet in Lake Havasu back of Parker Dam. There is additional reserve storage at the western end of the main aqueduct, in nearby Lake Mathews and other district reservoirs, to supply the entire Southland area for many months.
Figures given in the report show that during the 12-month period ending June 30, 1942, water production and use within the cities of the Metropolitan Water district reached an all-time high. Average production increased 22 million gallons a day over that of the previous year. District cities during the same period, consumed an average of 75 million gallons more a day than during the depression year of 1934-35.
Cities considered in the estimate are those that were within the Metropolitan Water district during the past fiscal year, and include Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica and Torrance. Figures show that Anaheim used 13 per cent more water in 1941-42 in carrying out the provisions of said Order, and in pursuance therewith do hereby request:
1. That all residents of the City of Anaheim preserve all tin cans and tin scrap.
2. That after emptying any tin can that they immediately wash, rinse out, or otherwise cleanse the same, and after having done so, whenever possible, remove both top and bottom, and in all instances flatten out said cans.
3. That they keep said cans and scrap segregated from other material and rubbish and keep the same in some suitable container which they shall place at the location where their trash containers are customarily kept.
4. That from such location the tin will be collected by City Trucks.
5. That collection will commence about November 2, 1942.
6. That no tin cans or tin scrap will be collected by said city trucks except when it is cleaned and segregated as above prescribed, and no other rubbish or trash will be collected by said City when it contains tins and tin scrap.
The City Council has placed the matter of collection of tin under the supervision and direction of Mr. Rudolph Nyboe.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this Notice as Mayor of the City of Anaheim, and have caused the City Seal to be affixed hereto by the City Clerk, he being authorized so to do.
CHARLES A. PEARSON.
Mayor of the City of Anaheim.

Beginning today, in the city hall, was the functioning of an advisory group under general direction of Charles Pearson and Elton R. ("Bus") McCoy of the County War Board, to confer with farmers and farm truckers of the Anaheim area, with regard to the three-day truck registration which will close Saturday.
Charles H. Mann, executive chairman of Anaheim Civilian Defense was cooperating with War Board members in the plan.

ODT order No. 21 provides that all commercial vehicles including privately owned farm trucks and trailers, must have approved certificates of war necessity, otherwise they may not operate after November 15. These certificates will be the basis for gas rationing and tire eligibility.

County Methodist Ministers Convene
Virtually all Methodist congregations of Orange county were represented Tuesday afternoon when the County Methodist Ministers' association convened in Yorba Linda Methodist church.
It was the first session under the presidency of the Rev. Thomas L. Burden, pastor of White Temple Methodist church, who was recently elected as president of the association.
Business matters were considered during afternoon hours, followed by a dinner prepared by women of the host church.
Taxable Wealth of County Increases
In his recently issued announcement regarding assessed valuation of California's 58 counties, totaling a sum far in excess of seven billion dollars, State Controller Harry B. Riley listed the taxable wealth of Orange county at $195,-677,345, more than three million dollars more than in 1941. His report showed that the county's indebtedness was $180,000. The combined indebtedness of all 58 counties dropped almost 16 million dollars from last year, to a total of $154,826,865.
On Hot Cargo Vote
That Proposition No. 1, outlawing "Hot Cargo" and secondary boycott would receive an overwhelming "yes" vote in November, was the opinion expressed today by William H. Spurgeon Jr., secretary of Orange county Yes-on-1 committee. He further stated that thousands of these votes will be those of labor union members who have gone for many months without wages because of labor disputes in which they had no interest.
"In spite of the union's pledge that they would refrain from using these practices for the duration of the war," Spurgeon said, "all independent lumber yards in Orange county were declared 'hot' because of the refusal of the yard to sign closed shop contracts, forcing all their employees to join unions. Boat builders with contracts for 28 new sub-chasers were threatened with secondary boycott if they accepted any bid upon materials from these lumber yards with which they had customarily done business. The date boat-builders have been unable to get materials from Orange county lumber yards because of threatened secondary boycott."
"Over 25 such cases have been evidenced since Pearl Harbor many of which vitally affected our war production," Spurgeon pointed out in urging a "Yes" vote on Proposition No. 1.

Mortgage Burned By White Temple Methodist Group
White Temple Methodist church members, encouraged by the fact that their church indebtedness has now been liquidated, are organizing their activities on a “pay as you go” basis. Their recent whirlwind money-raising campaign was successful to the extent that the sum of $7000 was raised, enabling them to pay off their final mortgage.
Celebration of this noteworthy event took the form of an enthusiastic dinner and program of the past week, held in the church social rooms where Mrs. Paul Demaree and her committee supervised dinner plans. Two hundred or more members gathered for the event, shared in the evening's fellowship, and enjoyed the after-dinner program.
Paul H. Demaree as master of ceremonies had arranged the program as a radio broadcast, and presided at the microphone with all the aplomb of a seasoned MC. Numbers he introduced were received with appreciation by the audience, but “guest star” honors seemed reserved for William Wagner Jr., chairman of the board of

Service Clubs May Secure Films on Guayule Nurseries
With guayule rubber nurseries coming near the borders of Orange county, it will be of interest to Anaheim service clubs and all agriculturists of this area, to learn that the Department of Agriculture has a 16 millimeter colored film with sound, showing the Guayule Rubber project.
The film, which has been made available at no cost, provides a 20-minute pictured story of the project. It may be obtained by writing Ed Perry, assistant director of the rubber project at Salinas, where one of the largest guayule nurseries is under operation.
Plans already are under way for the establishment of a large nursery in San Mateo Canyon, a mile south of the Orange-San Diego county line. The nursery area of 280 acres extends from 101 highway for over two miles inland, and takes in the tract just south of the San Mateo river. It is a part of the famous Santa Margarita ranch recently taken over by the Navy department for a huge Marine training base.
While plans for the guayule nursery are being perfected, others are under way for a federal housing unit to accommodate approximately 400 workers in the area, according to announcement made by A. G. Lindh, general manager of the rubber-growing project for the Department of Agriculture.
Guayule, which grows wild in north and central Mexico, resembles sagebrush in appearance. The mature plant seldom exceeds three feet in height. Pure rubber is deposited in the cells of the plant directly under the bark and is obtained by crushing and pulverizing the shrub and floating the rubber particles off in water.

Citrus Growers Are Assured of Ample Supply of Fuel Oil
To citrus growers of the Anaheim area, has come assurance from Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg, of fuel oil supplies sufficient quantities to protect protection against frost damage crops during the coming weeks.
While Orange county in genesis is less affected by cold than any further inland, there are distinctions which need protection, according to the farm advisor. He pointed out that the importance of min-packed fruits and juices in national war program, makes necessary to be prepared to bat possible freezing temperatures.
Orchard heaters should placed in the groves ready for heat-producing fuel to combat sudden cold spell. Growers reminded to replenish their age after every night of heat so that trucking operations can be simplified. It develops transportation will offer the greatest difficulty, since many companies will have an adequate supply available to growers.

Other Newsman Is Motion Mechanic
Changing his former news-profession for that of aviation, so essential to the program, Henry R. Hodges, Mrs. A. M. Hodges, 312 E, Olive street, has just graduated from an intensive course in mechanics at Sheppard Texas.
Much confusion has arisen among local merchants in regard to price ceiling changes authorized by the OPA, and the Chamber has announced its readiness to act as interpreting agent to retailers. New prices, subject to the wish of the individual retailer, went into effect on October 15. They apply to such commodities as coffee, sugar, rice, breakfast cereals, canned fish, canned vegetables, cooking and salad oils, and shortenings.
In regard to the "share the ride" movement, the Chamber will serve as headquarters for those who wish to join in the movement, either by providing transportation, or seeking it. A plan is under consideration whereby the financial burden of such transportation, will be shared equitably. The plan will be effective to all points except the Douglas Aircraft Corp. which is served by buses.
Air Base to Have Road Improvements
Work will soon get underway on a road building and improvement program at Los Alamitos Naval Air Reserve Field, following the award by the State Highway Commission, of the $69,401.50 job.
All improvements will be done with state and federal funds, although rights of way were provided by Orange County Road department. Plans call for asphaltic macadam in 40-foot width.

Bryant avenue forms the north boundary of the main field, and it too will be improved, with the county providing the right of way.
This City Is Well Represented When Orange County Concert Season Opens
Devotees of Euterpe, goddess of music, always find her sister goddess, Tersichore, equally fascinating, so that when Veloz and Yolanda, this country's most celebrated dancing team, opened Orange County Concert series Thursday night, they were received with unstinted enthusiasm.
Anaheim music lovers are among the staunchest supporters of this county entertainment program, and have been ever since the course was first launched by Musical Arts club. They were out in full force for the year's opening event, and have been heavy ticket purchasers for the season.
All of the local members were loud in their praise not only of the celebrated dancers themselves, but of the musicians that complete their company. Dance routines were presented in groups, interspersed with piano solos and duos by Lothar Perl and Robert Garretson, and accordion solos by Jerry Shelton, all artists of the highest caliber.
Lothar Perl is no newcomer to Orange county music circles, and his friends here have been delighted with the manner in which wide recognition is coming to him for both his musicianship and his composing.
As for the famous Veloz and Yolanda, critics felt that their art is akin to genius. Theirs was not (Turn To Page 2)

Minor Temblor Rocks Southland
Mother Earth stretched and yawned yesterday morning beefore settling down for an autumn nap, and as a result, Anaheim's chandeliers swayed, wall pictures swung on their wires, and cupboards rattled with an old-fashioned temblor, which occurred about 9:24 a.m.
Anaheim was far from being alone in noticing the earthquake shock, which was heaviest in Son Diego and Imperial Valley. C. F. Richter, seismologist at Pasadena Institute of Technology, verified opinions of amateur sleuths, that the epicenter was without doubt in the San Jacinto area, where several large faults occur.
