Toastmasters Club Honor Area Clubs And Ladies Tues. The Elks club last Tuesday evening was the meeting place for the four area clubs of the Toastmasters organization when the Anaheim club members were hosts to over one hundred visitors and their ladies, this being an area meeting. Clubs present were Smedley No. 1 of Santa Ana and No. 15, also Santa Ana, Huntington Beach club and the Anaheim club. William Davis, president of the local club, presided over the meeting and presented visitors and distinguished guests, the first guest speaker being John Pratt of Ontario, governor of Founders' District; next speaker was the executive secretary of Toastmasters International, Ted Blanding of Santa Ana. Ralph C. Smedley of Santa Ana, founder of Toastmasters club, which is now twenty-one years old, was another distinguished guest speaker. He is educational director of Toastmasters and, during his talk, he presented the Lieutenant Governor's pin to Don Schneider of this city who is Lieutenant Governor of Area No. 1. John Knutzen of this city was in charge of the table topic, while Royal Martin was toastmaster for the evening. He presented four speakers, one from each club, Earl Woodward of the Anaheim club giving the first talk, using for his subject, "Yore Days", which proved most enjoyable as he reminisced of days gone by; Ernest Wooster of club No. 15, Santa Ana, who talked on "Your County", equally as entertaining as the first talk; U. Davenport of Smedley No. 1, Santa Ana, talking USO Moves To City Hall Tuesday was moving day for Anaheim's USO. Now comfortably ensconced at Anaheim Legion headquarters in the basement of the city hall, USO is open for business to meandering service men. Local Legionnaires have been generous to turn over their facilities for the boys in uniform. Not only does the USO offer home made refreshments, a place to write, read, wait, read, but games such as pool and badminton. The new USO headquarters will be open every evening except: second and third Tuesday evenings, first and third Mondays when patriotic organizations meet. USO formerly hung out its shingle for business at 141 West Center. Mrs. R. W. Marvin is chairman of the USO hostess committee. Fullerton Jaycee YMCA Have Annual Tea on Wednesday Fullerton junior college Y. W. C. A. held their annual welcoming tea Wednesday for new women students in the woman's lounge from 2:30 until 4:30. The lounge was beautifully decorated with blue and white flowers, highlighted by the huge wheel of blue and white asters and dahlias on the tea table, symbolic of "the circle of faith," which was the tea's theme. Attractive favors presented to all guests were blue and white booklets which showed the year's program and explained the "circle of faith." This Fellow Frank Banks Is a Teller Of Rugged Stories Frank Banks came home Friday after an eight month stay at Garberville. Garberville, for those who do not know, is located 250 miles north of San Francisco. It is in the redwood country, where, according to Frank, the trees and deen grow tall. It is a common occurrence, according to Banks, for deer to jump over your car as you drive along the highway. And every so often you must stop your car, get out and shoo six or seven deer off the road so you can proceed. Fishing is good, too, up around Garberville, says Frank. The streams are full of trout, salmon and catfish and there aren't a million people to crowd out a poor but honest soul who yearns for a skilletful of tender delicious fish. Should one tire of deer and fish, the woods have cougars, bobcats and bear to keep one from becoming too bored with it all. "It is a poor place up there for tourists, though," admitted Mark Twain Banks, "because there is no extra food and no place to stay." From the subject of Garberville, Banks turned to the story of his one son, Pfc. Richie Franklin, 21 years old, who is with General Patton and the Third Army in Germany. Richie, in the army two and a half years, has followed the same route his pappy traveled during World War I. Incidentally Richie swears by—not at—Two Gun Patton and writes that all the fellows are crazy about the He-Man Pasa- John M. Cox Estate to Two Children The late John M. Cox of Fullerton left an estate of $15,000 in charge of the table topic, while Royal Martin was toastmaster for the evening. He presented four speakers, one from each club, Earl Woodward of the Anaheim club giving the first talk, using for his subject, "Yore Days", which proved most enjoyable as he reminisced of days gone by; Ernest Wooster of club No. 15, Santa Ana, who talked on "Your County", equally as entertaining as the first talk; U. Davenport of Smedley No. 1, Santa Ana, talking on "Venezuela Dictatorship and Democracy", a talk imparting valuable information of conditions and future status of our southern neighbor, and last but not least was the talk given by Lem Berry of Huntington Beach, "The Thinker", proving of extreme value. General evaluator of the evening was Herman Stromer of Fullerton, Lieutenant Governor of Area No. 2. The Tuesday evening meeting was one of the finest sessions the club has enjoyed for some time with expressions of delight from guests and their ladies as to their enjoyment of the event. Associated C. of C. Hear Interesting Talk at Meeting The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county met Tuesday evening in Huntington Beach's Memorial Hall, in the Civic Center. A home cooked dinner was served. Drawing interest of the audience, several representatives of government agencies spoke on "Surplus Property Disposal". Master of ceremonies was Harry Hansen, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. Voting for new by-laws and incorporation was an important activity of the evening.

Interment was at Holy Sepulchre cemetery. Planning Board Committee Works In an attempt to find a solution to the current housing crisis which, according to E. W. Moeller, secretary of the chamber of commerce, threatens to curtail Anaheim's commercial and industrial growth, the housing committee of the Anaheim planning board met last night at the chamber offices. The committee plans to survey all multiple dwelling zones in the city, in an attempt to discover how much of these zones are actually in use for multiple dwellings and how many vacant lots are located in these zones. Members of the committee are Tevis Westgate, chairman; Ernest Ganahl, Jess Medaris, Wilson Phelps, Glenn Merrill, John Resley, O. E. Hanson and E. A. Smith. Hereafter, Albrecht stated, La Habra will solve its rationing problems at Whittier, residents of Belmont, Seal Beach, and Los Alamitos will go to Long Beach, and those in other Orange county cities will count on Santa Ana to deal with them. Those towns which are included in the Santa Ana area are Laguna, Huntington Beach, Balboa, San Clemente, Fullerton, and Orange. Anaheim is also consolidated with the Santa Ana board and no branch is left here. All dealings must be done at the Santa Ana board henceforth.

Ted Blanding Tells Rotary Club of Seabee Activities Guest speaker at the Rotary club meeting last Monday was Ted Blanding, of Santa Aná, who has just been discharged after three years of service in the Navy Seabees. One of the first to join the outfit after its creation, Blanding was sent to England within two weeks after his enlistment. Later he was stationed in Italy and France before being sent to this country to act as an instructor. Blanding explained the "Seabee" training program and stated that most of the enlistees knew the job they were to do beforehand and are of an average age of thirty-seven. Seabees receive basic Marine training and later are organized into an engineering unit. Basic part of their training requires that each unit build an actual advanced base under combat conditions. Under enemy shellfire on a barren island the construction battalions are supposed to build a base in 48 hours and an accompanying air strip in City Expenses Are $17,265.11 From September 1 to 11 It cost the city of Anaheim actually $17,265.11 to do business from Sept. 1 to 15, according to a report submitted to the council at its regular weekly session Tuesday evening at city halls. The city fathers also approve a city audit submitted by DLand Co. for the year 1944-45. A resolution was passed adopting the mutual aid plan for law enforcement officers. In effect this means Anaheim officers can go outside the city limits for duty without jeopardizing the city themselves. Caltone corporation was granted the right to establish, maintain and operate certain settling bases on its property within the city limits. The council heard the first reading of a zoning ordinance which will forbid an individual or a company from starting or as one kind of business (say paint shop) and then develop in something else (like a fence shop).
