Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXIV A Legal Newspaper ANAHEIM, We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" If you happen to be trying to raise a pup watch out during his first year for those "running fits" that have caused a lot of good dogs to be killed for fear they may have hydrophobia. If your dog has fits, or even if he doesn't, you should have the wire-worm removed from under his tongue. ing a perfectly willing woman across a state line. Now it looks like another law will have to be passed to protect boys and men from being led astray by designing women. It's getting so a man isn't safe any more. Anaheim Citizens Ask For Or Against Color With many requests already on file in favor of switching from the hard well water now being used here to the soft Colorado river water which is available, the city council is requesting water users to let their wishes in the matter be known. Mayor Chas. A. Pearson stated today that since Anaheim is a member of the Metropolitan Water District and can have the benefit of Colorado river water at any time the city council would like an expression If you happen to be trying to raise a pup watch out during his first year for those "running fits" that have caused a lot of good dogs to be killed for fear they may have hydrophobia. If your dog has fits, or even if he doesn't, you should have the wire-worm removed from under his tongue, and he won't have fits any more. Any small animal veterinarian can remove the worm in about one minute. It is a slight operation and should be performed on all dogs as a matter of relieving the dog's suffering and the owner's anxiety. Following World War No. 1, it is said, only 10 per cent of the men returning from the army actually returned to their former home towns. On that basis, with more than twice as many men in the services, there will be a great shifting of population when this war is over. A majority of the soldiers who are not married will become married soon after their return; which in each case will mean two people to be settled in a new community. In most cases some of the relatives of the newly married couples will follow them to whatever place they locate. Since a majority of the men in the various services have spent some time in California, the chances are that at least a big percentage of them will settle here after the war. Many of them have already declared that to be their intention. California is slated to become an industrial section and many of the imported civilian war workers will remain here permanently. All of which means California will have a housing problem after the war that will dwarf the present one, which is very acute. It will take ten years to catch up with the demand for practically everything, especially housing and other construction needs. So, in any case, California appears to be headed for a period of booming prosperity far beyond any condition brought about by the war. If you haven't made any plans for this period, and I haven't either, now is the time to start thinking about how you're going to fit into the picture. When somebody starts in to tell me how ultra honest he is, then is when I begin to suddenly realize a perfectly willing woman across a state line. Now it looks like another law will have to be passed to protect boys and men from being led astray by designing women. It's getting so a man isn't safe any more. The Los Angeles Examiner has come out with a strong editorial appeal, entitled "Don't Give Our Ships Away!" in support of Cong. S. O. Bland's bill in congress to prevent any set of politicians from scrapping our Merchant Marine ships as was done after World War No. 1, a national scandal that received very little publicity. A great fleet of emergency ships built during the war was figuratively "scuttled" by somebody in Washington while the public engaged in a slumber party. I have seen miles and miles of those good ships tied up in the harbors of Puget Sound, at Golden Gate, and even far up the Sacramento river and other places, years after the war, literally being eaten up by barnacles. Finally, as the chains which held them together were rusting apart somebody slipped in and disposed of those ships that should have been put to use, for a song, some I believe, with their fine furnishings bringing only a few hundred dollars. The Examiner asks, "Have we learned the lesson that we failed to learn after the other war?" I doubt it, but if the Bland bill will prevent our new Merchant Marine from being stolen, then somebody, or everybody, should get behind that bill and see that it is enacted and enforced. In the course of a lifetime in the newspaper business you encounter, contact and interview about all the different kinds of people extant. As a rule the "bigger" people are the easier they are to get along with. When you run onto a real "snooty" he or she you can generally figure they don't amount to much. The electrical companies claim that electricity is the smallest item and the biggest bargain in the family budget. They have spent a lot of money to advertise this claim, which is very commendable and for which we thank them. It is probably an unusual procedure to differ with the With many requests already on file in favor of swifching from the hard well water now being used here to the soft Colorado river water which is available, the city council is requesting water users to let their wishes in the matter be known. Mayor Chas. A. Pearson stated today that since Anaheim is a member of the Metropolitan Water District and can have the benefit of Colorado river water at any time the city council would like an expression from a majority of the people before taking action. While it is believed that everyone would prefer the soft water from the Colorado, the matter of a slight increase in cost to the patrons is the feature the councilmen want the people to decide upon. It is estimated that Colorado river water would probably cost each domestic water user about 50c per month more than the present hard well water is costing. It is believed, however, that almost this entire increase in cost will be saved to the householder in soap expense alone, not to mention the saving wear and tear on clothing, the saving of fuel and damage to plumbing fixtures caused by the hardening lime content of the well water. Housewives generally favor the change to the soft water since it will lighten their work in washing clothes, dishes, and in scrubbing Lions District Convene Friday With Large Attention RETAINED ON BOARD OF STATE C. OF C. A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana citrus grower and past president of the California State Chamber of Commerce, was retained on the board in the capacity of ex-officio director, at the annual meeting of the organization held in Los Angeles. Growers Official In Washington On Government Deal Milton L. Chapman, sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange products department, has been named manager of the department. He takes When somebody starts in to tell me how ultra honest he is, then is when I begin to suddenly remember that I have business down the street and must hurry to keep an appointment. Now a Los Angeles woman has been jailed in Denver, as well as the 14-year-old boy she eloped with and married in Yuma, Arizona. Her other husband, whom she claims she was never legally married to, and their (her) two babies are still in Los Angeles. The husband says he will take her back if she cares to come home and behave herself. That gives a new angle to the eternal triangle. If the case were reversed, and a man should have eloped with a 14-year-old girl, he would be in a tough spot, but the woman will probably only be scolded a little and sent home to live down the whole affair, which nowadays will take about ten days. A man in the same circumstances would be prosecuted for violation of the Mann Act and forty other different charges, but you can't prosecute a woman on a Mann Act charge when a man was her victim. The Mann Act law was passed as a protection to "green" girls back in the days when girls were green, and there was some white slavery traffic, mostly directed by women who were always in the market for "new" girls. In the meantime the sex the law was passed to protect have made a racket out of the law and many a man has been gypped by being enticed into tak- Growers Official In Washington On Government Deal Milton L. Chapman, sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange products department, has been named manager of the department. He takes the place of C. P. Wilson who last week was appointed director of the products research for the citrus cooperative. Chapman became sales manager of the department in 1930, after several years' experience in advertising and sales management. He is now in Washington, D. C., arranging for new governmental contracts in regard to purchases of lemon oil and other citrus products. CRIPPLED CHILDREN'S RELIEF ASSOCIATION MEETS FRIDAY NOON Regular meeting of the board of directors will be held Friday, May 12, at 12 noon at Henry's Drive Inn cafe, 101 Highway, south of Anaheim, E. Kate Rea, president, announced today. more recent years we have followed the same practices through a different route, by limiting acreage, plowing under immature crops, and paying farmers for not producing an over-production of farm commodities. The latter is definitely blamed onto the New Deal. Now, really, what is the difference? Both instances are absolutely silly and the new angle used since the advent of the New Deal doesn't make any more sense than the voluntary method of destruction employed in former years. Maybe you don't have to be crazy to live in this country, but it helps.

Plumbing experts report that the hard water forms a coating of scale in water heaters and in other plumbing fixtures which requires more fuel to heat water and reduces the pressure flow in the pipes. As much as 16 percent more fuel is required to heat water when the tank has an inner coat of scale, it is said. For drinking purposes the claim is made that the soft water is much more beneficial to the human system than the hard water with a lime content. It is also said that the soft water is much more desirable for cooking and home canning, giving a much better flavor to cooked vegetables, as well as tea and coffee. Anaheim is a member of M. W. D. and has paid its share to make the water available whenever wanted. All that is necessary now to turn the unlimited supply of the pure soft water from Boulder dam into the city mains is for the people to let the city council know whether they want it or not. Santa Ana and Laguna Beach have already availed themselves of the benefits of M. W. D. water and many Anaheim residents are highly in favor of the change as soon as possible.
