If You Buy Bonds You are Buying Victory! ANAHEIM The Oldest VOLUME LXXIII ANAHEIM, OH CITY IS IN READINESS FOR W Community Breakfast Will Launch Hallowe’en Fun When Shakespeare wrote “Age cannot wither nor can custom stale her infinite variety,” he was unaware that several centuries later, his words would apply to a little western city’s gay Hallowe’en celebration for its young people as well as to the beautiful Egyptian queen he had in mind. But custom certainly cannot stale the infinite variety which is planned for Anaheim's nineteenth annual Hallowe’en festival when tomorrow dawns. It will be the 1942 Win-the-War version of the annual fun-fest, and while it will be staged in the bright light of day, there will be just as much glamor and excitement as though it were at the usual evening hour. While it will be definitely “Accent on Youth” with school children to have full sway in afternoon hours, with their gala parade to begin at 2:30, the day will begin with the community breakfast at 8 a.m. in the city park. Chamber of Commerce is sponsor of this breakfast event, for Weather Man Serves Variety of Dishes To Suit All Tastes October’s weather man served a typical buffet lunch during the past week to his California patrons, from which they might select almost any weather dish that appealed to their appetites. On his bill of fare were nice juicy fogs, fresh from the Pacific; brisk santana winds spiced like enchilados with torrid desert heat waves, and a tempting entree of sunny autumn days with a nice little temblor shaken up well with the sauce. For the thirsty he added yesterday's heavy showers, and as a dessert finale, he served today, great mounds of snow sovered peaks of the Sierra Madre range, outlined like giant ice cream cones against the clear morning skies. Prorating Ordered By Secy. Wickard On Winter Oranges Citrus growers of the Anaheim area were interested in the announcement made in Washington, that Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard has ordered prorating of winter orange marketing for California and Arizona. Growers have been awaiting results of the vote taken many weeks ago on the prorating order, but no announcement of this has been received. be staged in the bright light of day, there will be just as much glamor and excitement as though it were at the usual evening hour. While it will be definitely "Accent on Youth" with school children to have full sway in afternoon hours, with their gala parade to begin at 2:30, the day will begin with the community breakfast at 8 a.m. in the city park. Chamber of Commerce is sponsor of this breakfast event, for which tickets are now on sale at all down-town stores. They have been in high demand, and were to be secured today in order to give the breakfast committee information as to the number to be served. This committee includes Everett Cone, Elton McCoy, Dr. John H. Boege, Herbert Eldred, and various assistants who have planned the breakfast to be served "chuckwagon" style. The breakfast program planned will be a fitting accompaniment to the menu which is promised to "tempt the appetite of Lucullus." H. E. W. Barnes heads the committee which has selected outstanding vaudeville acts with "Rookie" Lewis as master of ceremonies. They will include Daroy and Ardelle, in feats of balancing; the Swing Sisters in song and piano numbers; Ted and Betty Walman, comedians; Moro and Yacanelli, comedy team; Lewis himself in black-face characterizations. Several of these acts will be held over for the entertainment provided for the school children following their afternoon parade. This parade, announced for juveniles alone, is meeting with enthusiasm among the young people representing all schools in the Anaheim district. These include Benjamin Franklin, Broadway, Fremont, George Washington, Horace Mann, La Palma, Lincoln, Centralia, Loara, Katella, Magnolia, Cypress, Laurel and Savana. Schools will enter under division numbers, and all entries will be constructed by pupils under teacher supervision. The parade will form on Claudina street opposite the city hall and will move west on Center to Palm street, north on Cypress; east on Lemon; north to the city park entrance where it will disband. Participants and spectators will go to the Greek theatre for prize awards, after which children will On Winter Oranges Citrus growers of the Anaheim area were interested in the announcement made in Washington, that Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard has ordered prorating of winter orange marketing for California and Arizona. Growers have been awaiting results of the vote taken many weeks ago on the prorating order, but no announcement of this has yet been made. It is believed that the vote carried since this indicated by Wickard's order. However the announcement stated that orange handlers had failed to give the necessary 80 per cent ratification to the proposed marketing agreement. Many organizations vigorously opposed the movement, but others, including California Fruit Growers' exchange, gave it strong support. It was pointed out that the measure was designed to maintain orderly marketing of the winter crop of oranges, and Wickard's order requires that fruit shall be shipped in accordance with weekly instructions recommended by a committee composed of six growers and one other individual not associated with the industry. Winter orange production in the two states is expected to fall 13 per cent below that of last year, and the order is designed to insure a steady supply to eastern markets from month to month. The order will have small effect on growers of the Anaheim district, since valencias predominate here, and as a summer crop, are already harvested. It has been estimated that Orange county itself will be little affected, since it has only about 1200 acres in navels. Former Leader Answers Call Final tribute was paid one of this city's former club leaders, the late Mrs. Regina Falkenstein, at funeral services conducted Tuesday afternoon in the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel, by Rabbi Elliott Grafman of Long Beach.

Supervisors Pass Ordinance On Salary Increases Unable to get any definite word from the War Labor Board as to the county's right to increase salaries of its workers, the board of supervisors assumed at the regular meeting the past week, that such a move would be all right, and passed an ordinance granting such increases. Adjustments and equalizations of pay were completed and were made retroactive to October 16. the date that Ordinance No. 446 went into effect. This new salary ordinance supplants that under which some special raises were granted as of September 11,and granted increases to county workers not affected under terms of the old law. Exception was found in a group of nurses at Orange County General hospital whose increases of pay had already been agreed upon with adjustments made October 16. Original wage increases were prepared by County Counsel Joel Ogle, but he cautioned the supervisors that the county might not have the power to raise wages under the recent edict by President Roosevelt, freezing schedules paid certain workers. An appeal for information to the War Labor Board gave no light on the problem so the supervisors acted anyway. Salary raises ranged from $5 to $25 monthly about the same as the last previous increases.

City Collects Hundred Tons Of Scrap Metal Anaheim's salvage drive may have encountered a few obstacles in its beginning, according to A. L. Raymond, chairman of the Civilian Defense Salvage committee, but after swinging into its stride, it is accomplishing things in a big way. Up to date there are fully a hundred tons of scrap metal stored in the salvage yard on Claudina street and in other auxiliary depots, including the Richfield station, 142 South Los Angeles street, and the various city schools, where children are proving themselves capable little collectors. Anaheim has surpassed neighboring cities in the enthusiasm with which collecting has progressed, declared Chairman Raymond, who today stated that the great mass of metals will soon be on its way to the mills. Orange county's quota was originally set at a thousand tons of scrap metal, according to Harrison White of Santa Ana, county coordinator. That quota has already been increased to 1500 tons, and since that amount has been half met already, present indicative that Toastmaster membership served as a training ground for civic activities. Paul H. Demaree, veteran Toastmaster who has served as president both of his local club and of Toastmasters' International, installed the officers who included with President Blocher, LeRoy Ater, well known rancher, as vice-president; Royal Marten, SAAAB instructor, secretary-treasurer; M. E. Beebe, insurance man, sergeant-at-arms, and P. H. Pendleton, Orangethorpe school principal, deputy governor. Preliminary to the formal installation program was the customary program of short talks with Dr. Max Henderson as toastmaster of the evening. He set the ball of merriment rolling in his own inimitable style, and it was continued by the table topic when Frank Kellogg conducted an impromptu "Truth or Consequences" quiz. In more serious vein were the short talks introduced by Dr. C. O. Patterson, whose theme was "Eggs, Good and Bad." P. H. Pendleton's subject was "Our Neighbors Down Under," LeRoy Ater discussed "Dawn Comes Up Like Thunder," and Royal Marten outlined propaganda, camouflage and similar military activities in "Deception." George Hedstrom was critic and Ralph Seward was time keeper. Among guest introductions other than wives of Toastmasters, were Charles Hart, president of Fullerton chapter; Albert Stuelke, Fullerton's deputy governor; Mr. and Mrs. Lee Oden, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Schutz of Anaheim; Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hartshorn of Costa Mesa, and Fred Viele of Hemet. Fullerton members extended an invitation for the Anaheim chapter to join them at a dinner meeting on November 9 in Kibel's cafe of the neighboring city. This joint meeting will take place of the Anaheim chapter's usual meeting date of November 10. Anaheimer's Son Is Named to Post at Occidental College Although Dr. Arthur G. Coons, son of Mrs. Mary Coons of Liberty Lane, Anaheim, is now "frozen for the duration" in his present post as state price officer of the OPA, indications are that after the war he will not return to the Claremont College director of grading. Royal C. Marten was journalism advisor for the publication; Lloyd Ross was printing advisor, and photography was under direction of C. George Hedstrom and Bruce Alexander. The All-American Yearbook technical service offered by the National Scholastic Press association designed to aid and guide yearbook staffs in the production of letter books. Such guidance consists of detailed criticism of each book as it is issued, with suggestions for improvement of the next book to come. All these suggestions will be of aid for the 1943 issue of The Colonist, to Miss Gay Humphreys, editor, and her staff. In the All-American book of 1942, the young people offered a detailed story of school life, lavishly illustrated with pictures of every student in the school and of their student activities. White Slips Needed for Gas Rationing Automobile owners of this vicinity who may possibly have lost misplaced their registration cards (white slips) have been reminded by James M. Carter, director of motor vehicles at Sacramento, that they should apply immediately for a duplicate in readiness for gas rationing. November 22 is the tentative date set for gas rationing to go to effect in California, and federal rationing authorities will not issue rationing books unless applicants present their automobile registration cards at the time of application. Orange county's quota was originally set at a thousand tons of scrap metal, according to Harrison White of Santa Ana, county coordinator. That quota has already been increased to 1500 tons, and since that amount has been half met already, present indications are that the county will be called upon to supply 2000 tons. In computing what has been collected in this city, the average to date would amount to approximately six pounds per individual. But it is believed that there are untold pounds of metal yet to be collected. 4-H Achievement Program Cancelled New Dates Are Set Because of the rubber situation, the county-wide 4-H Achievement program announced for last Saturday night at Fremont school was cancelled. In its place there will be a series of district achievement programs, arranged by a committee composed of Miss Frances Liles and Ross E. Crane of the Agricultural Extension service, R. Dean Smiley, Mrs. Ivan Elliott, Mrs. C. D. Griset and J. J. Beavers. Such programs will be held in connection with the several Farm Center programs, and tentative date for Anaheim has been named as November 10. La Habra district was held Monday night. Other district events at intervals throughout November will be held in Garden Grove, Yorba Linda, West Orange, Tustin and Cypress-Magnolia Farm Centers. Anaheimer’s Son Is Named to Post at Occidental College Although Dr. Arthur G. Coons, son of Mrs. Mary Coons of Liberty Lane, Anaheim, is now "frozen for the duration" in his present post as state price officer of the OPA, indications are that after the war he will not return to the Claremont Colleges as director of graduate studies and professor of economics. Dr. Coons was granted a leave of absence from his college post to fulfill the war-time duties in OPA. But he has been appointed by Dr. Remsen D. Bird, president of Occidental College, his alma mater, to the post of vice-president and faculty dean at Occidental, succeeding Robert G. Cleland, retired. Dr. Cleland's retirement will become effective at the close of the current academic year. He has been associated with Occidental college for more than 30 years, and for the past 15 years has been vice-president and faculty dean. He will continue some teaching at the college, but will devote the greater part of his time to research on early American and California history.
