Fullerton Jaysee Sells Typewriter Surplus To Army Official praise has come to Fullerton junior college for "backing up the Army's fighting machines with writing machines," because that institution responded to the government's call for typewriters, by turning in 25 per cent of its machines to the Treasury department for use by military services. Appreciation of the school's generosity was expressed by D. L. Sullivan, chief of the WPB typewriter procurement branch of Southern California, upon receipt of a letter from Frederick T. Cheberlen of the Fullerton school system, notifying him that the jaysee had turned in 51 machines for war use. Sullivan declared "This contribution is more than enough to equip seven Navy destroyers with the means of rapid-fire recording and transmission of orders. Or it can speed the handling of casualty treatment records for a score or more of firing-line dressing stations for the Army Medical Corps." Sullivan added that business firms as well as schools and in- Fruit Moth Menace Still Threatens That danger still exists from the Oriental fruit moth one of the citrus industry's worst enemies was indicated by inspectors of the State Department of Agricultrut located in this city, who confirmed reports that the moth had been discovered in nearby San Bernardino county. According to reports, the discovery was of a single adult moth in a grove near Chino not far from the Orange county line. But it was explained that the true extent of the infestation may not become apparent until warm weather. Heavy infestation has been found near Olindo, but up to the present none has been discovered in the Carbon canyon area between Olinda and the Chino grove where the single moth was found. Infestation in this county is the first on record west of the Mississippi sippi river dividual owners are being asked to sell such typewriters (standard non-portable machines built since January, 1935) to the government, since typewriter factories have been converted to armament production. Typewriter dealers in different localities act as buying agents for the Treasury, which pays the official government price directly to the owner.

In view of the curtailment of this weekly event, the board of trustees of the garden has announced that visitors will be welcome every weekday through April and May, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. No guest cards will be required for admission and picnic tables and parking grounds will be available with all their facilities for heightening the comfort and pleasure of those visiting the gardens. Members of the staff will be ready to give any information about the native plantings. The usual flower shows and afternoon talks in the assembly hall have not been scheduled, but the trustees point out that there are unexamplied displays of wild flowers on the hillsides and in the fields and canyons of the 200 acre tract, and that their gorgeous display of color will grow in brilliance during the next few weeks. Anyone who finds it necessary to drive through Santa Ana canyon, would find that a stop at the gardens would be well worth while. Their location is on the north side of Santa Ana river, about 15 miles each of this city. MRS. MARTHA ELIZABETH WOOD, a resident of Anaheim for the past dozen years, died April 7 at the family home, 109 South Melrose street, where her husband, John J. Wood, survives her. Born 50 years ago in Minnesota, Mrs. Wood had lived in Idaho for many years before coming to this city. Many members of her family still live in that state including her mother, Mrs. Emma L. Ross; a brother, Arthur Derbyshire; a half brother, Elmer Ross, and a sister, Mrs. Ida Harris. Another sister, Mrs. Minnie Parker, lives in Canada and two half sisters are Miss Stella Cooper of Oregon and Mrs. Bernice Hutchinson of Washington. Mrs. Wood was a member of the Congregational church. Funeral rites were conducted for her Thursday afternoon in the Hilgenfeld chapel, from which the remains were sent to Kellogg-Wardner, Ida., for burial in the family plot. AT FIRST SIGN OF A COLD USE 666 666 TABLETS, SALVE, NOSE DROPS Lesson In Citizenship Here is a study in human psychology. We'll use no names, but suffice it to say that a home owner at Olive street and Broadway, has a loquat tree, whose golden fruit was an irresistible temptation to a group of small boys. The lads simply couldn't be kept out of the tree and finally an appeal was made to the city police station. Officer Decker called the youths before him and made the situation so clear to them that he not only won their promise to leave the tempting loquats alone, but every single boy volunteered to aid in keeping other marauders away from the tree, so that the owner might have the fruit for jelly making. Who'll be willing to bet with us there will be a certain group of boys who will receive a taste of luscious loquat jelly by and by? Even if the reward doesn't come in such tangible form, there will still be the reward of a training in citizenship. And could any show a finer spirit—and a keeper understanding of boy nature that displayed by Officer Dg. That is the way to build future substantial citizens, stilling in the plastic minors' youth, a due appreciation for property rights of others. Police Department Has New Course Monday night brought the session of the school of integration which City Attorney Friis will conduct at semi-mature intervals for men of the department nad special deputy. At the series of meetings he explain to the men such laws pertain to arrests, law violations and all matters that effect profession. The next session be Monday night, April 26.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Ploneers. 25 Years Ago April 18, 1918 If Germany is able to carry out her scheme of Mittel Europe she will build the mightiest empire in the history of the world and liberty will be destroyed. Germany was determined to reach Asia Minor and India by way of a Berlin to Bagdad railway. Remember what Tallyrand told Napoleon; Whoever controls Asia Minor is master of the human race. Look at the map and see how Germany could strike at India, Egypt, Persia, the Suez canal and Russia. Why did the United States come into the war? What have we to do with all this? Simply this: Germany placed America last upon her list of countries to be conquered. She planned to impose a staggering indemnity upon America after she had taken our leading cities on the eastern seacoast. Theodore Roosevelt has truly said that it is lucky she did not place us first on her list! But one thing stood between us, the British navy. For twenty years Germany has been preparing for this war, but the world slept on. Within thirty days Germany will put out peace propositions, offering peace on condition that she be allowed to retain free passage to Asia Minor and a broad highway to strike again at civilization by means of her railroad into Asia Minor. If we agree to this all we have fought and worked for will have been lost. Germany will have welded Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and the Ukraine into a mighty empire. 50 Years Ago April 20, 1893 During the week petitions to the Board of Supervisors have been circulated and numerously signed asking them to take steps to straighten the channel and strengthen the banks of the Santa Ana river and to open the old Landing road. A petition to the County School Superintendent has also been very numerously signed asking him to call an election in this school district to take the sense of the people on the formation of a District high school. To comply with the law the latter must contain a majority of the names of all heads of families appearing on the last census. The petition was signed almost unanimously very few refusing to sign it, and has been forwarded to the County Superintendent, who has called an election on May 6th next. The outside districts will vote on the union high school district on April 29th. On the ostrich farm at Placentia a number of the female birds are now setting, and eggs are also being hatched out by an incubator. In each wing of an ostrich twenty-six white plumes grow to maturity every eight months and seventy-five short feathers are plucked for tips from each wing. Sixty-five of the tail feathers have commercial value. The female ostrich lays seventy eggs a year. The feathers are worth from $35 to $75 per pound, and are in good demand. A few days ago a large shipment of feathers was made from this farm to London show. Within thirty days Germany will put out peace propositions, offering peace on condition that she be allowed to retain free passage to Asia Minor and a broad highway to strike again at civilization by means of her railroad into Asia Minor. If we agree to this all we have fought and worked for will have been lost. Germany will have welded Austria, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey and the Ukraine into a mighty empire to be hurled upon the rest of the world when the German military masters will it.—Extracts from a lecture by Sidney Coryn, of San Francisco in Los Angeles last week. Clyde Bishop thrilled his audience with his eloquence and patriotic utterances in his speech at the business men's luncheon Thursday. He scathingly rebuked those who would assist eligible men to resist serving their country through the selective draft—Individual patriotism is going to win the war and the man who shirks his duty now is a slacker of the vilest sort, Mr. Bishop declared. It may come to pass that labor will be conscripted, because no man has a right to refuse to give his services to build ships and munitions of war. Also the conservation of food is paramount, he said and people must not waste a single particle. Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock this week received a letter from their son Reinhold conveying the news that he has been commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States service. He has been stationed at Camp Robert E. Lee, Petersburg, Va., but expects to be transferred to some unknown destination. At the last city election Fullerton favored a proposition to pay the city trustees $10 per month. Anaheim has twice voted this down, the people evidently believing that the honor that hedges about a trustee and the pleasure he gets out of the job is sufficient reward for the labor he performs. Earl Abbey, manager of the Pacific Telephone company, the other day said a person stepped into the telephone booth and put in a call on long distance for a party in Denver. In just 14 minutes the connection was made and the gentlemen carried on their being hatched out by an incubator. In each wing of an ostrich twenty-six white plumes grow to maturity every eight months and seventy-five short feathers are plucked for tips from each wing. Sixty-five of the tail feathers have commercial value. The female ostrich lays seventy eggs a year. The feathers are worth from $35 to $75 per pound, and are in good demand. A few days ago a large shipment of feathers was made from this farm to London, showing that this county has established a reputation abroad for this industry as well as in its numerous other products. While driving a band of cattle from the Chino onto the Olinda ranch last Friday Viet Bentz and Charley Bailey came upon a big rattlesnake lying in the road which immediately showed fight. Mr. Bailey dismounted from his horse and had no trouble in dispatching the reptile, which measured four feet in length and sported ten rattles. When opening the scales on the ranch a short time afterwards to weigh the cattle, Mr. Bailey found another snake ensconced within the scales and killed him. Snakes of all varieties seem to be unusually plentiful in the hills and picnic parties had best be on their guard for the varimints. A bee man named Johnson, living in Brea canyon lost a valuable four-day-old colt last Monday night, which was killed by coyotes. The coyotes came down to the corral and slaughtered the colt in the night time, but were unable to make away with the carcass and were driven away in the morning. Ike Williams began on Monday the grading of the new county road from Ball's place to Hard-scrabble. This will probably be the future road to the Landing, unless the old road is opened up, and Ike is doing a particularly fine job on it. Governor Markham was at Olive one day last week, looking up his real estate interests there. The governor has lately purchased a large track of land south of Olive and will divide it and place it upon the market. He was the guest of Mr. H. K. Small of the Olive mill. The directors of the irrigation Earl Abbey, manager of the Pacific Telephone company, the other day said a person stepped into the telephone booth and put in a call on long distance for a party in Denver. In just 14 minutes the connection was made and the gentlemen carried on their conversation. Mr. Abbey says when it's service you're looking for, ring him up. A swarm of bees settled in the hanging fringe of the awning in front of Heying's Pharmacy at noon Tuesday, but as a few hundred of them appeared to be restless and uncertain about the location that corner was an extremely unpopular place for a time. Officer Phil Germann who was appealed to, procured a box, enticed the strays into it, and placed the colony under arrest. There were no casualties. The merchants and bakers of a number of California towns have united to stand behind the food administration and are issuing food cards, and no flour cereals, pastries, breakfast foods, bread or other wheat products can be procured without a card which will allow six pounds of flour or six loaves of bread per month for each member of a family. J. H. Whitaker has received word that his son Loring, who is a soldier at Camp Lewis, has been a pneumonia victim, but is now recuperating. C. J. Mauerhan was in town from the Standard lease a few days ago. Cooney has a job of tool dressing with the company and is getting along well. Governor Markham was at Olive one day last week, looking up his real estate interests there. The governor has lately purchased a large track of land south of Olive and will divide it and place it upon the market. He was the guest of Mr. H. K. Small of the Olive mill. The directors of the irrigation district held a meeting Tuesday for the purpose of engaging attorneys. The contract with Wilson & Lamme has expired and the board is moving to secure talent to fill the vacancy. A fire at Redondo Beach shortly after midnight yesterday morning destroyed property to the value of $50,000. Among the losses is the grocery store of Isaac Cohen, and brother, formerly of this city, who lose $5,000 and were uninsured. The Board of Supervisors have made the following new appointments under the provisions of the new County Government bill: D. T. Brock, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors; W. H. Bowers, Register of Deeds; Theo. Lacy, Jailor; Theo. Lacy, Court Bailiff; Jacob Ross, Transcriber. Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Stock of Lamanda Park spent several days here last week visiting friends and relatives. Miss Anna Boege who has been visiting them at the Park for some time past returned home last week. Mrs. W. F. Robinson visited at the Olinda ranch a few days this week, the guest of Mrs. Beatty. W. J. Cole has struck a fine three-and-a-half inch flow in his artesian well at a depth of 180 feet on his ranch at Hardscrabble.
