Dance Ensemble Featured On County Artist Series Anaheim and other North Orange county patrons of the annual artist series under sponsorship of Orange County Musical Arts club, are anticipating the next event of the series for Feb. 21, when Mia Slavenska, her dance ensemble will be presented in Santa Ana high school auditorium. Successive programs of the series have offered artists of world fame, and each year the course has been arranged by its sponsors to include a dance program by popular request. In selecting Mia Slavenska, the program committee felt fortunate in being able to secure an artist of such caliber. For Slavenska was formerly the leading prima ballerina with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, highly acclaimed not only for the grace and perfection of her work, but as the most beautiful ballerina of our time. She left the Ballet Russe only recently to head her own company, which includes her co-star, David Tihmar and the full ensemble. Her programs are composed of dances for which the artiste herself created the choreography, based on the music of Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Johann Strauss, Debussy, and the folk dances of her native Yugoslavia. The program for her Orange county appearance will begin promptly at 8:15 on Monday night, Feb. 21. The majority of Anaheim patrons have their season tickets so arranged that their seats are already reserved for them. Others may secure reserved seats as usual at Santa Ana Book store. Mia Slavenska, Prima Ballerina North County Thespians Will Appear In Next Santa Ana Community Play Anaheim interest is running high in the forthcoming production by Santa Ana Community Payers of "George Washington Slept Here," because a local Thespian, Herman R. Hoch, whose home is on Route 3, has a prominent role in the comedy. In fact the Players' organization, which has functioned for the past 20 or more years, might well extend its name to Orange County Community Players, for in addition to the Anaheim member of the cast, the leading role, "Newton Fuller," will be played by Wayne Holt of Garden Grove; the juvenile leads, "Madge" and "Steve," by Anabel and Douglas Phillips of Fullerton, and a minor role by Jerry Pearlman of the Marine Base of El Toro. "George Washington Slept Here," made doubly famous by Jack Benny's screen version is Seal Sale Returns Show County Nears High Record While there may be a few Anaheim residents who have not yet got around to making their Red Cross Christmas Seal returns, the record for the area is extremely good, according to Mrs. Homer G. Ames, district chairman. For her figures show that returns for Anaheim district total $3,352.49, a gratifying advance of the quota set tentatively at $2,-250. The sale of bangle pins to local school children netted $149.80 which increased the entire county fund for such sales to $659.21. If dilatory patrons of the annual seal sale would hasten to make Salvage Committee Has Successful Waste Paper Drive Twelve tons of waste paper That is the amount collected on Anaheim's first city-wide collection of paper, under direction of the city's Defense Salvage committee. This initial collection was made on the first day of the month, and results have just been announced by A. L. Raymond, chairman of the committee. At the same time he suggested that some of the paper may have been missed since there was a slight misunderstanding as to just where it was to be placed for collection by the city trucks. However collections will continue as long as the paper is so badly needed in the war effort and householders are asked to conserve all such waste products in readiness for successive pick-ups on the first day of each month. well extend its name to Orange County Community Players, for in addition to the Anaheim member of the cast, the leading role, "Newton Fuller," will be played by Wayne Holt of Garden Grove; the juvenile leads, "Madge" and "Steve," by Anabel and Douglas Phillips of Fullerton, and a minor role by Jerry Pearlman of the Marine Base of El Toro. "George Washington Slept Here," made doubly famous by Jack Benny's screen version, is to be presented for three nights, Feb. 17-19 in Santa Ana Ebell clubhouse, 625 French street. Rehearsals are of almost nightly occurrence in the Santa Ana home of the J. H. Virnigs, whose young son Jerry takes the mischievous youngster's part in the play. In this gas rationing era, the north county players have to make the trip to rehearsals by the convenient bus system. The role enacted by Hoch in the play is that of "Mr. Prescott," the choleric landlord, and the Players' director, Gladys Simpson Shafer, feels that she has gained a fine character actor, matched by the work of another newcomer to the local boards, Howard Chaddwick of Santa Ana as "Uncle Stanley." Both meet stiff opposition in character acting from Harry Brackett, veteran member of the association, in the role of "Mr. Kimber," the odd-jobs man on the country place. Playing opposite Garden Grove's Wayne Holt in the feminine lead of "Annabelle Fuller" is Lula Brackett, also noted for many roles with the Players. The two juveniles from Fullerton, Anabel and Douglas Phillips, are well known young pianists of the community and will have prominence tonight on the recital program of the Margaret J. Buttree Studio. COUNCIL CONTINUES REVOCATION HEARING No decision was reached at this week's city council meeting on the question of revocation of the license of Frederic Williams, to operate a slaughtering plant at 180 North Patt street. The matter has been under consideration for the past several meetings, but was continued to the adjourned session next Tuesday night. WAR BONDS are the safest investment in the wide world! For her figures show that returns for Anaheim district total $3,352.49, a gratifying advance of the quota set tentatively at $2,-250. The sale of bangle pins to local school children netted $149.80 which increased the entire county fund for such sales to $659.21. If dilatory patrons of the annual seal sale would hasten to make their returns, it would enable Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association to join the ranks of similar California groups whose Seal Sale receipts reached the $25,000 mark. The sum of only $143.93 is needed to bring the association its admission to this select group. Dr. Robert Burns McAulay, Seal Sale chairman, reported that receipts from the 1943 sale now total $24,856.07, and since returns continue to come in daily at the main office, 112 West Fifth street, Santa Ana, he has every reason to believe that they will soon reach the $25,000 mark. “This record sale, more than $8,000 ahead of the 1942 sales, will make possible the most pretentious program we have ever been in a position to finance,” Dr. McAulay said. “Every cent can and will be expended to advantage to meet the increased tuberculosis threat offered by war conditions. Salvage committee members expressed appreciation for the fine cooperation given by Anaheim citizens, and for that of city officials and employees who made the collection possible. With this general cooperation they expressed belief that each succeeding month will see an advance on the 12 tons collected on Feb. 1. WAR BONDS purchased today will save scores of lives. AUTION COUPON DATES AND DATA Orange Co. Council Of Rotary Will Meet Here Tonight Anaheim Rotarians will be hosts tonight in Elks clubhouse, to the Orange County Council of Rotary clubs, with dinner at 6:45 p.m. Final plans for entertaining the council were made Monday when Paul H. Demarec presided over the weekly meeting in Elks club. Melbourne A. Gauer, program chairman, introduced Paul O. Sampson, nationally known dietician-lecturer of St. Louis, Mo., discussed "Food and its Relationship to Health." Asserting that 85 per cent of all ill health may be traced to improper diet and faulty eating habits, the speaker stated that the majority of rejected men in early days of Selective Service, were found unfit for military duty because of physical troubles directly due to faulty diet. "The average man pays scant attention to food combinations," he stated, pointing out that "It is remarkable what simple, wholesome foods will do for human beings if given a chance." Over-consumption of refined sugar is a principal fault of the American diet he said, declaring that this country's annual consumption reaches 125 pounds per person, where a half pound of sugar a week or 26 pounds a year is sufficient for each adult. Of special interest in this citrus area was the speaker's contention. Interest Grows In Campaign As Secretary Releases Data SACRAMENTO, CAL., Feb. 9—Frank M. Jordan, Secretary of State and California's chief election officer, has released official copies of the consolidated election calendars for 1944. By enactment of war-time legislation at the special session of the State Legislature and which passed both houses without a dissenting vote, the May 2 Presidential Primary and August primary are consolidated and will be held on May 16. The General Election remains the same, November 7. By reason of consolidating the two primaries, men in the armed forces will be given a better opportunity to cast absentee ballots.

Secretary of State Jordan ed out California taxpayable by an estimated $20 by the consolidation and 610,000 man hours for clean conducting the election and be saved. The consolidation also mean the saving of almost 3,000,000 sample envelopes as well as many of paper. In event Congress should legislate in conflict with California's legislation, the statute would have precedence provision for such a situation made by the special legislative session, Jordan declared. The first change in the mendar brings the filing and claration of intention to offices from May 22 to February 7 to 11. Filing of nomination papers presidential candidates begin February 7 and continues until February 7 instead of February 28 to March 7. The first day for filing new motion papers, other than for presidential delegates, is February 28; the last is March 7 instead of February 28 to March 23. Under the new act the law for candidates to the file the davit as presidential delegate March 11 instead of March 11 applications for absentee will be accepted by the Clerk or Registrar of Voter...

Secretary of State Jordan pointed out California taxpayers will save an estimated $2,225,000 by the consolidation and that 8,000,000 man hours for clerks in conducting the election also will be saved. The consolidation will also mean the saving of 800,000 absentee ballot envelopes and almost 3,000,000 sample ballot envelopes as well as many tons of paper. In event Congress should enact legislation in conflict with California's legislation, the federal statute would have precedent as provision for such a situation was made by the special legislative session, Jordan declared.

Anaheim Landing Residents Are Given Until March 1 to Move Their Homes Lions Take World Tour With Oldest Spring moving day, long the bugaboo of landlords and tenants alike, will get underway on a big scale at Anaheim Landing, where at least 175 families must move Anaheim Landing Residents Are Given Until March 1 to Move Their Homes Lions Take World Tour With Oldest U.S. Navy Man Last Friday was "Navy Day" at the Lions club noon luncheon meeting, the session being opened by singing "Here Comes the Navy," led by Warren Ashleigh. Guest of honor for the occasion was Chief Boatswain's Mate George "Sandy" Sanderson, oldest active member of the United States Navy, who was the speaker. He was accompanied by F. C. Cochrane, chief navy recruiting officer for Orange county, who was introduced by Lotus-Louden, and who in turn introduced the speaker. The 82-year old veteran of the sea who enlisted in the navy when he was 20 years old and is now serving through the fifth major war. He was an active sailor for 42 years and was placed on the inactive list after World War No. 1. When this war broke out the seaitis set in, he said, and after a trip to Washington where he pleaded with the secretary of war to be taken back into the service in spite of his years, he was given a post with the recruiting service. Briefly he gave an account of his travels around and around the world, through four different wars and many other hair-raising episodes. He was aboard the battle ship Oregon when that vessel practically annihilated the Spanish fleet in Manila waters. His travels and experiences would fill a book and his impromptu speech was highly enjoyed by the Lions. Also present at the meeting was another member of the navy, Ph.M. 1c. Everett Granere, home on leave from his station in South America. He left last Sunday on the return trip. He was formerly with the Hilgenfeld Mortuary and was a guest of Lion Sam Hilgenfeldt. He gave an interesting account of the rubber growing industry and of the experimental work being done there by Henry Spring moving day, long the bugaboo of landlords and tenants alike, will get underway on a big scale at Anaheim Landing, where at least 175 families must move from that area by March 1, to make way for the Naval Ordnance Depot which the government will erect there. A conference of Army and Navy officials with Orange and Los Angeles county officials was held last Friday in Long Beach, at which time the situation was discussed. Willis Warner, chairman of Orange county supervisors, and Highway Engineer A. A. Beard were among those conferring with Col. Charles T. Leeds, consulting engineer with the U. S. Army, and W. T. Tiencken of Washington, D.C., government land acquisition and condemnation expert. According to government officials, condemnation proceedings already have been filed in federal court, and all civilian residents in the 2500 acre tract must be gone by March 1. At least 275 homes will be involved, a hundred of them of the summer cottage type. There were intimations that the Navy may aid evicted residents by relocating and possibly by moving their houses. Any plans to relocate the houses in the Seal Beach area, seemed doomed to failure, since Seal Beach building restrictions would prohibit many of the homes because of their type of construction. Boundaries of the ordnance base were set forth by the visiting officials, and information was clarified on the matter of re-routing of Coast Highway and Pacific Electric tracks. Early reports were to the effect that both would be routed inland above the east end of the area, and then return to the coastline. Under present plans as outlined Friday, both the highway and the P.E. tracks will cross a narrow corridor which will provide the Navy access to the sea. The P.E. tracks will cross this corridor on a trestle, and the highway will be changed for approximately 200 feet. Industrial harbor plans under IT GROWERS MEDICAL TO MAKE NATIONAL SURVEY Permission for F. R.
