Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper ANAH We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" (The statements or opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the policy or sentiments of this newspaper, or its publishers.) Everything seems to be moving faster nowadays. An old saying used to be, "From shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations," but now it is possible to complete that orbit in one generation. again the liquor interests will wonder what has happened and why. They can learn something if they will go back and study the attitude of their own industry in pre-prohibition days. Also, they should bear in mind that the boot-legging element has more money than they have. The other night at Huntington Native of France That Country at "Has France A Future?" was the subject of Dr. Rene chairman of the department French, University of South California, who will speak a session of the Anaheim Forum to be held in the school study hall Monday evening January 22nd, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Belle is an authoritative France, French politics, French culture. He was born Burgandy and reared in mandy, in the very aera we began invasion June 6th grew up in a scholastic atmosphere, his father serving as president of the renowned French university of Rouen. Dr. studied at the University of is for seven years, receiving doctorate in political science that institution in 1926. In gust of that year Dr. Belle chosen by the American Uni Everything seems to be moving faster nowadays. An old saying used to be, "From shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in three generations," but now it is possible to complete that orbit in one generation. America has gone to war—again! Our first going to war had sort of simmered down to a complacent routine and it was plain to see that we had partly lost interest in the European struggle, as it seemed to us in our remote position so far behind the lines, that the battle was about over. All of a sudden the Germans threw us back on our heels by staging an offensive that had the promise of being serious. Now we have fightened our belts and started all over again in most every phase of the war effort. It's too bad it took a set-back and the loss of many of our fighting men to make us realize that we were not doing our best. Now, maybe we will snap into it and back up the men who are facing the hot lead while we go along in comfort and safety. When this war started I predicted that I would be in the fighting ranks before it was over. I hope I was wrong but the new hitch we are taking points even more to that possibility. I probably wouldn't last long but I could stop bullets as well as anybody while I did last and if it becomes necessary I'm ready to try it. Ready, but not anxious. A miniature cyclone struck in the southeast portion of Pomona recently uprooting several large walnut trees. Apparently California is trying to keep up her tradition of making everybody feel at home. It has been rumored that many Okies want to quit their war jobs and go back home. A few cyclones here and an earthquake or two in Oklahoma would probably keep them satisfied to stay here, if the war manpower commission can arrange it. At least a large percentage of the residents of California were not here in the fall of 1914 when the last election was held on the prohibition question, before national prohibition was declared, as a war measure during World War No. 1. I wouldn't be involved in any argument on the subject pro again the liquor interests will wonder what has happened and why. They can learn something if they will go back and study the attitude of their own industry in pre-prohibition days. Also, they should bear in mind that the boot-legging element has more money than they have. The other night at Huntington Beach I met a sailor just back from a long tour of duty in the Pacific. His ship had gone through most of the battles but finally had to come in for repairs on account of damage from a Jap bomb. This sailor was luckier than the man who stood next to him who is not coming back. He was in the graduating class with my own boy at Huntington Beach high school and wanted to know, "Where's Jack now?" Well, I was glad to report that, after Jack had served as a machine gunner in the regular army before the war started, he is now in the motion picture department at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. And the sailor and I both said in unison, "I hope he gets to stay there." Congressman John Phillips has moved over into the New House office building, now that he has been re-elected and gained his majority among the brethern. The "new" has just about been worn off the New House Building, but it still is a palatial place to be housed and you never have to go out in the weather to go from your office over to the capitol building to attend the sessions. You just go down to the basement and ride a little toy electric train through a tunnel and get off in the basement of the capitol building. It's quite a bit of fun to "commute" back and forth. Reminds you of a mole burrowing through the ground, except the mole probably isn't trying to go anyplace in particular, just trying to keep busy. When Will Rogers, the former Oklahoma school teacher, was in congress he had the distinction of being the only congressman whose office was in the Capitol building itself. I never could figure out whether that was a compliment, or whether they were trying to bury Will and keep him from associating with his colleagues. Maybe his name helped get him elected but he turned out to be a fair congressman. Like a lot of others, though, he thought he should become a United States senator, and that was the political French culture. He was born Burgandy and reared in Mandy, in the very aera wily we began invasion June 6th grew up in a scholastic atmosphere, his father serving as president of the renowned Fraternity of Rouen. Dr. Belle studied at the University of Oxford is for seven years, receiving doctorate in political science at institution in 1926. In gust of that year Dr. Belle chosen by the American University Union in Europe to teach an American college, and thereafter came to America to the University of South California. Summers he has taken at Stanford University, at P College, and in 1938 at Aix-Méille seille in France. Dr. Belle is a citizen of United States. Since coming to United States, Dr. Belle has made nine trips to France, spending teen months there on his sabbatical leave a few years ago and other three months just prior to the outbreak of War II. He been in intimate touch with France and her grievous problems in these three latter years German occupancy. He is a believer in French resurgence and in the imminent and forthcoming renaissance of French culture and destiny. The Forums are being held the study halls at the high school beginning promptly at 7:30 continuing until 9:30 pm. The sessions are open to the public without charge and everyone is invited to attend. Japanese Problem To be Studied By Legion Council The problem of the Japanese return to this area will be studied by Vic Meyer of Garden Grove and Norman Reeves of Placement following their appointment to inter-organization council of Orange County Council of American Legion. The appointment was made by Commander K. B. Rigby at the recent county meeting held in Fullerton. Highlight of the meeting was an interesting talk given by P.R.Cross, W.O.U.S.A.C.of Indianaapolis, now stationed at Newpoil on his five years experience in Dia and other parts of the east. Next meeting of the 21st district will be held in Santa Ana Feb 10 and 11. The next court At least a large percentage of the residents of California were not here in the fall of 1914 when the last election was held on the prohibition question, before national prohibition was declared, as a war measure during World War No. 1. I wouldn't be involved in any argument on the subject, pro nor con, but in that 1914 election the question was, "Shall California go dry; and if not shall the question be voted upon for another eight years, which would then have been in 1922." It so happened that I came down from the north on that election day, aboard the SS George W. Elder, which ended its run at Eureka. We were late on account of a storm at sea and I was to take a cattle boat early in the morning for San Francisco, so I sat up all night in the Morning Times office to get the election results. In that election California voted overwhelmingly wet and approved the proposition that the prohibition question should not come to a vote again for eight years. Well, when national prohibition came on, California had to go along. During all those years liquor was about as hard to get here as it is or was in any other dry state. The boot-legging business became one of the biggest businesses here, or in any other state, which is something everybody knows, so I don't have to prove it. To make a long story short, as you know, prohibition was eventually voted out and everything went along all right until recently. Now another campaign has been started to bring back national prohibition and when the country goes dry school teacher, was in congress he had the distinction of being the only congressman whose office was in the Capitol building itself. I never could figure out whether that was a compliment, or whether they were trying to bury Will and keep him from associating with his colleagues. Maybe his name helped get him elected but he turned out to be a fair congressman. Like a lot of others, though, he thought he should become a United States senator, and that was the political end of Will Rogers, the school teacher. When the B-29 bomber is converted to peacetime commercial use it will have a double-decked interior, luxuriously furnished, for the comfortable accommodation of 100 passengers. Converted to a freight carrier it will have a load capacity of 35,000 pounds of freight. Maybe you remember that time when the Germans could have taken England almost at will, but instead, for reasons which you may also understand, turned square around and started for Russia, through Poland. At that time Winston Churchill's first unnecessary statement was substantially, "We will fight with the Russians against the common enemy—Germany—but we want it perfectly understood that we do not and never, never will subscribe to or agree with the Russian form of government." That was in 1939 and a lot of water has passed under American ships since then. Those American ships have plied the dangerous passages to bring the provisions of war to both England and Russia;—otherwise Germany might by now have conquered both of those countries, and maybe our own. RETURNS FROM HOSPITAL Paul Neja, World War I veteran, returned to his home this week following a month's stay in the Sawtelle Veteran's hospital. In The Heart of the Valencia Orange District" ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1926 Native of France to Discuss Future of What Country at Monday’s Public Forum Has France A Future?" will be a subject of Dr. Rene Belle,erman of the department of ch, University of Southern california, who will speak at the nation of the Anaheim Publicum to be held in the high school study hall Monday evening, January 22nd, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Belle is an authority on race, French politics and each culture.

Lions to Collect Sports Equipment For S. A. Air Base As a public service activity the Anaheim Lions club has started a drive to collect used sports equipment which will be turned over to the rehabilitation department at the Santa Ana Army Air Base for use by the men of the Air Forces returned from foreign service to the redistribution center. Recreation and sports must be provided for many of the men who are hospitalized during their rehabilitation period and more equipment is needed for this use. Some of the men who are injured are taught various handiwork, such as repairing and restringing tennis racquets, repairing gold clubs, etc. This work helps them to pass the time and in some instances to learn a trade that may be of benefit to them after the war. The Lions club will make an effort to round up all the used equipment of this kind in Anaheim for the Air Base. The training program is new and the scarcity of all lines of sporting goods has made it impossible for the government to furnish the equipment needed. Anyone having golf clubs, tennis racquets, baseballs, footballs, handballs, gloves, mitts or masks, table tennis outfits, badminton sets, or any kind of sports equipment, are being asked by the Lions club to donate them to the disabled men of the Air Service at the Santa Ana Air Base. Damaged or broken articles are acceptable as the training courses include repair work of this nature. Lion members Al Riutcel, 507 North Clementine, phone 2444; and Vic La Mont, 149 North Lemont.

Edwards, erstwhile barnstorming reformer, into its clutches when he was caught redhanded in the act of accepting a bribe which he had solicited for the purpose of extortion, according to District Attorney Jim Davis and Sheriff Jesse Elliott, both of whom have been victims of his "reform" movement. Rev. Edwards is pastor of a Free Methodist church in Santa Ana and styles himself "the reformed Marine." He was a candidate in the November election for the state assembly on the prohibition ticket. The barnstorming pastor leaped into the limelight several months ago when he started a one-man campaign against all places of business in the county where slot machines were operated.

ANAHEIM MAN'S DEATH DECLARED ACCIDENTAL A coroner's jury on Monday dewhom have been victims of his "reform" movement. Rev. Edwards is pastor of a Free Methodist church in Santa Ana and styles himself "the reformed Marine." He was a candidate in the November election for the state assembly on the prohibition ticket. The barnstorming pastor leaped into the limelight several months ago when he started a one-man campaign against all places of business in the county where slot machines were operated. At that time he had a "courtesy" deputy sheriff's card, issued to him by Sheriff Jesse Elliott upon his request under a pretense. The slot machine episode has cost the county a good many thousand dollars for several mis-trials in which no convictions for violation of state gambling laws were returned by the various trial juries. His activities recently have been checked by the officers who declare that he has engaged in extorting money from operators of business places and it was a "hush money" deal that landed him in the county jail at 5:00 o'clock Wednesday evening. According to county officials he had solicited a bribe from a certain Orange county business man and finally made a deal for the "pay-off." Under Edwards' instructions the business man met him at a garage at 311 Fruit street, Santa Ana, Wednesday at the appointed hour and passed him the money. The money was marked, however, much to the chagrin of Rev. Edwards, who was arrested immediately by officers who were waiting for the transaction to take place. The amount of money secured was not given by the district attorney, but the full amount was recovered from Rev. Edwards' pockets. Since he was acquainted with all Santa Ana officers, policemen from Newport Beach were deputized to make the arrest. Taken to the county jail Edwards made arrangements, possibly through a surety company, for bail which was set at $5,000 and was released from jail at 11:30 Wednesday night when the bond was posted. Dist. Attorney Jim Davis stated this morning that formal charges would be filed, probably some time today, and that the charge would be "soliciting a bribe for the purpose of extortion." The situation becomes especially embarrassing for members of Rev. Edwards' congregation who Beekeepers Meet Orange This Friday, January 19 The annual meeting of the Beekeepers Department of the Farm Bureau is set for 1:00 p.m. on Friday, January 19, at the Farm Bureau Hall, 353 South Main Street, Orange, according to Allan Dyer, chairman.
