Cannery’s Waste Spreading Plan Finds Opposition Taking a definite stand as opposed to the city of Fullerton’s request to the state department of health for a permit to dispose of waste waters from the Hunt Brothers’ cannery (Val Vita Packing plant) in an open area on a percolation basis, some 70 or more property owners have filed their protest with the Orange county board of supervisors. The secession of land considered for the project consists of 20 acres at the southwest corner of Gilbert and Crescent streets, and signers of the protest petition to the county supervisors, claim that it is near enough to Anaheim city limits to warrant strong local opposition. Their objections were based on the statement that such disposal grounds are both unsightly and insanitary, and offer a menace to the health, comfort and well being of communities where they are located. The petition points out that a portion of such waste which heretofore has been spread on 40 acres near Fullerton, has been a prolific source of mosquitoes and other noxious insects and so objectionable generally as to cause serious protest from Fullerton citizens to its continuance. The petition continues with the statements “Whereas a much larger quantity of water is proposed to be spread on the 20 acres County Schools Are Entered, Robbed During Weekend Fremont school of which Wilbert H. Bonney is principal, was one of three Orange county schools which were burglarized at some time during the Memorial day holiday. Property loss at the local school was slight, and according to all reports was confined to a small sum of money and some War stamps contained in a cash box. Orange Union high school suffered the greatest damage and a loss estimated at $200 in currency taken when marauders entered the building and broke into the school safe. This occurred sometime between Saturday noon and Tuesday morning, according to the Two Kiwanis Clubs Hear Adjutant In Salvation Army In a talk liberally spiced with wit which Adjutant A. P. Telfer of the Salvation Army, Los Angeles, addressed Tuesday to Anaheim Kiwanians and their brother members from the Fullerton club, the speaker made some interesting predictions regarding the conclusion of the European phases of the World War. As a former member of the British Intelligence service and the English Navy Adjutant Telfer had a definite foundation upon which to base his prophecy that the war in the European theater would be ended by March, 1944, at the latest. In the event of certain happenings well within the realm of the possible and the probable, this date would be advanced to November of the current year, he declared. He advanced the opinion that the long-discussed second front would be accomplished by Turkey’s throwing in with the United Nations, thus making it possible for invasion to come through the Balkans into Germany. This possibility might eventually within the next 20 days he declared. Ewald Lemeke presided over the day's session held as usual in Elks clubhouse. W. J. Troutman Peace Officers Go On Record To Oppose Jap Return Orange County Peace Officers' association at its latest meeting in Tustin Pythian hall, added another to the rapidly lengthening list of the county's organizations expressing strong opposition to a return of Japanese from relocation centers to the Pacific coast area. In registering this opposition, Peace Officers selected a committee to draft the resolution, after hearing from Sheriff Jesse L. Elliott of the action taken by lodges, service clubs and similar organizations. Named to the committee were John C. Gregory, Fullerton police chief; James F. Pearson, Brea police chief; Deputy Sheriff Sam Jernigan, Dist. Atty. James L. Davis, and Preston Foster, asst. dist. atty. Increasing the general interest in the action was a talk by Dr. Edward Milligan of Santa Ana, who discussed economic problems offered by the Japanese, and the effect of their cheap labor and manufactured goods in the past, and possible future effects. William R. Sylvester, association president, announced that the July meeting would be held in Laguna Beach at a date to be set later. Ground Observers Given Ruling On Tax Deduction This city's aircraft warning service ground observers and workers at the filter center have learned through County Defense Coordinator Ben Lieberman, that expenses incurred in connection with such work may be deducted from their income taxes. Information to this effect came to Lieberman from the Treasury Department, following a ruling on the matter requested by air defense officials. Duties of such observers and filter worker crews are outlined in the ruling, which explains that such deductions up to 15 per cent of the taxpayer's net income may be made for gas and oil expenditures resulting from the gratuitious work. Pastors and Church Workers Develop Interesting Plans for City's Pastors and Church Workers Develop Interesting Plans for City’s Fifth Annual Vacation Church School This city’s Fifth Annual Vacation Church school is due to get under way promptly on Monday morning, June 21, according to final plans formulated last week when ministers and leaders in the city’s various churches met in First Presbyterian church. Enrollment for the vacation school will begin next Sunday in all Sunday school groups, and will continue to the very opening day itself. It is hoped that every child on the various Sunday school rolls from the age of two to 14 years, will enroll, and not only take part in the event, but bring other children. Each church taking part will have Vacation School posters, “Enlist Here for Victory,” prominently displayed and similar posters will be placed also at the YMCA. Superintendents were named for the various departments to be in effect for the period which will continue from June 21 to July 2. The Rev. Earl R. Berg and Mrs. Jerry Patton will direct the intermediate department; Miss Margaret Macmillan and Mrs. Paul Boliek will superintend the juniors; Mrs. Wilma Head and Mrs. C. H. Archibald, the primary; Mrs. C. M. Hazzard and Mrs. Doris Baker, beginners, and Mrs. Ola Essary and Mrs. Anita Plegel, nursery. Setting a thousand young people as their membership goal, the church leaders estimated that approximately a hundred teachers, leaders and helpers would be needed. Many have already enlisted for the two weeks’ period, but others are urgently needed to volunteer their services. “The times demand a united effort among Christian forces” the church men declared in issuing this appeal for aid. Plans were outlined under general direction of the Rev. Don Earl Boatman, superintendent; Mrs. Nan George, enrollment secretary, the Rev. Stanley Frederick George and other pastors, any of whom may be contacted for further information. The daily school will be held in White Temple Methodist church but the annual “Beach Day” which is always one of the most anticipated features, will be held this year in Anaheim city park. It will serve a two-fold purpose, for not only will it provide the children with a happy day of planned recreation including free use of the plunge, but it will introduce the park’s summer activities as planned by the city council. Local Girl Scouts To Have Outing At Camp Manzanita So enthusiastic has been the response of Anaheim Girl Scouts to plans for a summer camping season at Camp Manzanita near Wrightwood, that registrations have now closed, with 70 young girls of the city signing for the two weeks’ period, according to Mrs. Roy G. Helsing, Girl Scout commissioner. Camp Manzanita is the Santa Monica camp which will be placed at the disposal of the local Girl Scouts for a two weeks’ period beginning Wednesday, June 23. The camp is under direction of Miss Nancy Hargreaves, formerly of this city. Miss Adah Louise Wilcox, Anaheim Girl Scout director, will accompany the local girls, and there will be various others to assist in the two weeks’ program. Mrs. Elmer Bruce, camp chairman, has received the registrations. Many girls have signed for the full two weeks, while other will go for shorter stays.

Troutman Unidentified Snake Captured Upon Emerging from Car Maybe it's one of those snake stories that seem to spring into being long about this time o' year. But Police Officer Ralph Decker asserts that there really was a snake right on East Center street. And it's entered on the police blotter—the story, not the snake. It happened on Tuesday, when the snake suddenly made his appearance, crawling from the hood of an automobile parked near Bank of America. Officer Decker captured His Snakeship, who evidently had become more or less entangled with the fan belt so "there wasn't much left of him," according to Decker's report. However there was still sufficient snake that Officer Spencer removed him to the pound for further disposition. What variety was he? Just plain snake. Minister's Son Is Given Commission At Medical School A happy reunion is in progress in the home of the Rev. and Mrs. C. H. Archibald, 303 East Alberta street, due to the arrival Tuesday of Herbert L. Archibald, son of the home, now on short vacation from his senior year studies at Creighton Medical College, Omaha, Nebr. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Archibald went to Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon to greet their son upon his arrival, and found a group of his former classmates at USC there to extend welcome as well. He had his pre-medical course at USC and won his BA degree there. The young medical student will have only a short vacation visit here, since he will return to Creighton to complete his senior year in December. His entire class of 65 with only a few exceptions, voluntarily joined the U. S. Army Reserve Corps, with a view to being called to service upon graduation with possibility of being permitted to complete interneship courses. All were given the rank of lieutenant. Lieut. Archibald plans to interne in Hollywood hospital after getting his degree in December, unless he is called to service immediately. He will report on June 28 at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., for his military uniforms. Native Sons Given Full Reports From Grand Parlor Having been granted regular use of the main lodge room at the Elks club for their stated meeting members of Mother Colony parlor Native Sons of the Golden West felt definitely settled and "a home" Tuesday night, when they had their first session since Grand Parlor. President James Tuffree conducted the business meeting which was enlivened by reports from the Grand Parlor session, given by the two official delegates, Tuffree himself and John M. Johnston. Among these reports was of the recognition accorded Mother Colony chapter for its institution and installation of officers with a total of 171 paid-up members. The established a record in Native Sons' history, and created much favorable comment. Delegates told also of the prais accorded the booklet, "Out of the Golden West" just issued by its author, Leonard Schwacofer, one of the founders of Mother Colony parlor. Four hundred copies, artactively bound and illustrated, were demanded by the Native Sons in attendance. The booklet, first of a series planned by the author, is sub- Cut in Tax Rate Suggested By Taxpayers' Ass'n "A cut of at least nine cents in the Orange county tax rate can be made if old age aid rolls are held in their April, 1943, levels," California Taxpayers' association stated today following its study of changes made by the legislature in the old age assistance law and their effect on the tax rates of California counties. "During April, 3,135 needy aged persons received old age assistance in the county," the association stated. "Under the present law, the annual cost to the county for this case load would have been about $342,900 or about 17.5 cents on the county tax rate, based on the county's assessed valuation for this year. "Under the new financial setup, the annual cost to the county for such a case load is estimated to be $166,300. This amounts to a possible saving of $176,600 equal to about nine cents in the county tax rate." Such a reduction, the association (Continued on page 3) Chairman Is Named For Ration Board After several weeks during which Anaheim War Price and Rationing board has functioned without a chairman due to the resignation of Dr. J. G. Hilleary, the post has been filled by the appointment of Lee D. Meyers, Placentia orange grower. Meyers' appointment was made by Los Angeles OPA headquarters following the recommendation of Anaheim Civilian Defense council of which Charles H. Mann is executive chairman. Dr. Hilleary, who has served as chairman ever since the rationing board was organized in January, 1941, recently asked to be relieved of his duties because of the press of his own personal business affairs. Since then the board has functioned under Arthur G. Porter, executive secretary, and his staff. Chairman Meyers who lives on Bradford avenue, Placentia, where he operates two large citrus groves, is president and managing director of the Maywood Mutual Water company serving a local bank with only a few exceptions voluntarily joined the U.S. Army Reserve Corps, with a view to being called to service upon graduation with possibility of being permitted to complete internship courses. All were given the rank of lieutenant. Lieut. Archibald plans to interne in Hollywood hospital after getting his degree in December, unless he is called to service immediately. He will report on June 28 at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., for his military outfit of uniforms, etc., and to receive the necessary hypodermic shots required of all military men. Then he will resume his studies at the Omaha college. The Rev. Mr. Archibald already is wondering if his son will be detailed for overseas duty in India, the land of his birth, where his knowledge of native life and conditions would be a valuable asset.

Delegates told also of the praise accorded the booklet, "Out of the Golden West" just issued by its author, Leonard Schwacofer, one of the founders of Mother Colorado parlor. Four hundred copies are tractively bound and illustrated were demanded by the Native Sons in attendance. The booklet, first of a series planned by the author, is subtitled "Tales of the Desert" and it it Schwacofer has gathered some 15 historical tales, legends and essays on desert lore, all told in interesting fashion, and illustrates with sketches and photographs. The booklet is soon to go on general sale, and because of its authenticity as well as its charm will carry the message of the Native Sons and of California faction. Before Tuesday's meeting closed, the Sons enjoyed the feature film, "Sutter's Gold," provided for them by their president.

Jiggs, an intelligent airedale and Bingo, an equally intelligent shepherd-collie, were two of the "boarders" with Poundmaster Charles Briner out at the Orange county animal shelter, but not they may well be rated "star boarders" for they are enlistees in Uncle Sam's "Dogs for Defense." It all came about when Dr. John Bower, county veterinarian, informed the board of supervision that the Army wanted large dogs from one to five years of age, for training in the "K-9" division for service with Army men. Under the county ordinance County Employees Merit Service Flag Fifty-one stars will gleam from the service flag to be hung soon in the county supervisors' chamber in Orange county courthouse, each star representing a county courthouse, each star representing a county employee now with the armed forces. Present indications are that the number will be increased at an early date. The service flag is the first tangible recognition of the fact that the county government has contributed both men and women to government service. Vandal Makes Off With Park Hose Some Southland gardener, more ambitious than honest, is going to make certain of having sufficient rubber hose to water his vegetables. But Edward B. Black of the city park department, is convinced that any flow of water through the 150 foot garden hose which some miscreant removed from La Palma park, according to a Tuesday report to the police station, should have the effect of blistering all self-respecting young plants. Salem Evangelical Delegates Attend Conference Dispensing with the customary worship services Sunday in Salem Evangelical church, the Rev. A. L. Horn, pastor, will be in attendance at the 60th annual session of the California Conference of Evangelical Churches opening today in Santa Ana. First Evangelical church at Tenth and Main streets will be the host church for the conference which will close with Sunday's sessions. Bishop C. H. Stauffer, D.D., of Kansas City, Mo., will preside and ministerial and lay delegates from the denomination's 19 California churches will be in attendance. W. C. Mauerhan, layman delegate from Salem Evangelical church, will accompany the Rev. Mr. Horn to all sessions. All ministers of the denomination will receive their appointments for the coming church year. Charles Briner out at the Orange county animal shelter, but now they may well be rated "star boarders" for they are enlistees in Uncle Sam's "Dogs for Defense." It all came about when Dr. John Bower, county veterinarian, informed the board of supervisor that the Army wanted large dogs from one to five years of age, for training in the "K-9" division for service with Army men. Under the county ordinance creating the animal shelter, no animals may be released until payment is made of board bills at the rate of $1.10 a day. However Frank Bowman, deputy counsellor, informed the supervisor that the animals may be released to the Army without the payment of such fees since the law further provides that animals may be disposed of if still unclaimed after three days. So last week when Hubert Ryder, representative of Dogs for Defense. Inc., visited the animal shelter, there were four dogs available for the exacting physical and I.Q. tests. Of the group however, only Bingo and Jiggs passed with flying colors. Tough a German police dog, and Toby, shepherd, both proved to be guilty, so were rejected. Now Pvt. Bingo and Pvt. Jiggs physically fit and mentally alert will be put through a course of instruction at Fort MacArthur, preparation for active duty with the Army. Dogs are trained on various Southern California ponds including Camp Haan and Camp Roberts, the Pomona Ordnance Depot and the Stockton Depot. Many more dogs are needed, and private owners are turning their household pets over to Uncle Sam for military training in the KK division.

With the influx of Mexican National workers into this territory, the need was seen of providing for their cultural Pilot of Transport Prefers Southland "The more of the world I see, the better I like Southern California," declared Capt. Sam Coughran of Buena Park as he set about his accustomed duties today with the Air Transport Command at Long Beach, after enjoying a three days' pass. The pass was the first that Capt. Coughran had been granted in the year and a half he has been with the Transport Command, and followed his return last week from Australia, where he with his crew of five men, had piloted a big twin motor cargo ship. While he has made a number of lengthy trips to different lands of the Allies, his work usually is ferrying the big ships of the Army Air Line (the "SNAFU" Air Line). The Australian trip took the as well as their physical wellbeing. The library board of trustees, headed by Fred A. Backs as president, and Miss J. Elizabeth Calnon, librarian, were guided in their decision to install a Spanish section, by the counsel offered by Otto C. Jungwirth who is stationed in the Santa Ana office of Associated Farmers, as administrative supervisor an interpreter for the incoming workers. With his suggestions as a guide, Miss Calnon, authorized by the library trustees, was in Los Angeles a few days ago to make a judicious selection of the volumes which will form a nucleus for a Spanish section to be a permanent part of the library. These books, which soon will be placed on the shelf subject to withdrawal by the Mexican workers just as are the books of the main library by its patrons, reflect the cultivated tastes of the average Mexican. The pass was the first that Capt. Coughran had been granted in the year and a half he has been with the Transport Command, and followed his return last week from Australia, where he with his crew of five men, had piloted a big twin motor cargo ship. While he has made a number of lengthy trips to different lands of the Allies, his work usually is ferrying the big ships of the Army Air Line (the "SNAFU" Air Line). The Australian trip took the pilot and his crew members some two weeks to complete, and while all found the "Land down under" an interesting place to see, all were equally happy to see their native shores again. The big cargo ships fly with comparative safety Capt. Coughran declared, for in the event that a Japanese Zero spots them, they speedily dive out of sight in the sea haze and can elude any pursuers. On his three day pass, Capt. Coughran with Mrs. Coughran and their baby son Monte, took a cozy little cabin at Big Bear and got in some good fishing, the first that the air pilot had enjoyed since his enlistment for transport service. He returned yesterday to the Long Beach base. Request for Sewer Hook-up Given Council’s Approval Principal business considered by the city council Tuesday night was a request from the Citrus Growers, Inc., to hook-up on the city's portion of the joint outfall sewer service. This hook-up, if granted, would provide a service line from Orange County Insectary on East Vermont street, where some 400 Mexican Nationals are being housed while they work in the area's orange groves. The hook-up would be an addition to present sanitary installations, and would take care of the overflow. The city approved of the measure and is now seeking permission from the executive committee of the joint outfall sewer board. Lemcke Will Address State Convention Ewald M. Lemcke, 554 South Illinois street, is preparing to leave Thursday for Fresno where as maintenance engineer for Orange County Outfall Sewer district, he will have part in the annual conclave of California Sewage Works association. The convention will open Friday to continue for three days. Lemcke will have part on the Saturday morning program when he will present a paper on "Registering and Maintenance of Flow Devices." City Engineer E. P. Hapgood, who was named to represent the city of Anaheim at the convention, is not yet certain of attending. Ancient Indian Tribal Rites Are Held At Orange County Home To Observe Ceremonial of the Flowers One of the most unusual objections in interpreter. Ancient Indian Tribal Rites Are Held At Orange County Home To Observe Ceremonial of the Flowers One of the most unusual observances of Memorial Day within the borders of Orange county occurred Sunday at the Orange Park Acres home of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wedge and their nephew, Rudy Cronen, where the American Indian "Ceremonial of the Flowers" was staged. The three hosts have long been interested in Indian lore, and have a valuable collection of rugs, arrowheads and artifacts which are given appropriate setting in their home. They also have many friends among prominent Southland Indians, and it was through this friendship that Chief Tahahee of the Kawaia tribe and his companions staged the impressive ceremonial and made it possible for many interested friends to witness it. Approximately 300 guests gathered to watch the rites led by Chief Tahachee assisted by Princes Neowama of the Cherokees, and White Eagle, whose grandfather was the last ruling chiefain of one of the principal Maya tribes. One of the most striking features of the solemn ceremonial, was the presence of White Eagle's son, taking full part in the rites in which all members wore their tribal costumes, but who introduced a strikingly significant note by appearing in the uniform of the U.S. Navy in which he acts as an interpreter. The ceremonial, given to the beat of tom-toms played by native musicians, was the scattering of flower clusters back to the earth whence they came, and its various phases were explained after each interval. Following the ceremonial, both Chief Tehachee and White Eagle (who is noted for his Hollywood screen work) gave short explanatory talks, and conducted a question and answer interval with Rudy Cronen, explaining the details of a fine peace pipe and the ancient necklace with which he had been presented when he was adopted into the Indian tribe. The Wedge home with its exotic gardens in which every variety of flower, tree and vine that can grow in the Southland blooms with lavish flowering, was an ideal spot in which to stage such an impressive ceremony. The Indians taking part had come from various locations on the previous evening, and were joined by many friends in a Sunday picnic dinner served in the outdoor dining court shaded by a gigantic wisteria vine. The ceremonial itself was staged in the adjoining graveled courtyard with guests seated on the galleries of the home and on the grassy hillside in the midst of flowers such as few Southland homes can boast.
