Waltonian Leader Warns Against Bureaucratic Resources Control Declaring his administration dedicated to the prime purpose of the Izaak Walton league—“to assure an America of the future as good oas the America of the past”—Paul Clement of Minneapolis, national president of that organization, voiced a strong warning against “too much federal bureaucratic control of natural resources,” in a talk Friday night before one annual meeting of the California state division of Waltonians at the Civic center in Olive. Clement's talk dealt especially with the subject of water supply, and he declared opposition to the tending spread of valley authorities. He ridiculed some of the reasons advanced for creation of additional projects patterned after the Tennessee Valley Authority and sounded the warning that "some governmental agencies will promise anything, in return for control of the natural water resources." "Californians should make sure that every drop of rain that falls on California stays in California, and that it is not hustled out of the state in producing a few kilowatts of electricity, the value of which is less than that of the woods, the wild life and the agriculture destroyed in its making," Clement declared. 300 GREET LEADER Approximately 300 members of virtually every chapter in Southern California, and representatives from more distant points, including San Francisco, Blythe, Bishop and San Diego, as well as Los Angeles, greeted their national leader. Clement remarked in opening his address, that he had expected to be disappointed in the attendance promised for the meeting. "I didn't know at that time that Roy Mabee was one of the ticket sellers," he explained. Mabee, who single-handed sold 56 tickets, John became chief of police at Fullerton and therefore are blank." SOLONS' MESSAGE Immediately following the dinner, Jim Rymer of Anaheim, who retired this month as secretary of the local chapter and was installed by Clement last night as first vice president of the state division, introduced a number of guests. Rymer also told of having received a telephone call Friday afternoon from State Senator Thomas H. Kuchel, expressing regret at not being able to be present, because of being in Sacramento, attending the special session of the legislature. He quoted Senator Kuchel as having said that, because of the stand of the Izaak Walton league in favor of the proposed wildlife regulatory bill, he has been won over from his former position opposing it, and now will not only vote for it, but will work for its passage. Rymer also quoted a message of regret at being absent, sent by Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange. INVESTS STATE OFFICERS Judge Eldred E. Wolford of El Monte, retiring state president, introduced Ed Adams of Fullerton, his successor in that office. Adams, introduced the national president. At the close of his talk, Clement installed the new officers of the state division and called Navel Oranges Begin to Move (Continued from Page 1) about 80 per cent complete, report reveals. While fruit there are small, according to railroad, sugar content is best four years. Cold weather in mid-December somewhat reduced quality of San Joaquin crop, it continued and thrip damage is heavier usual in most areas. California's total 1945-46 range crop is estimated at 51,000 boxes, 8,600,000 below preceding season. Lemons, which are read market in increasing volume expected to total 34,200 cars this season, as compared with 30,800 last year, and but 2 cars two years ago. Grapefruit matured early in desert region, and picking go to a good start, the report However, the California crop cast is 7 per cent below last son's total. Acute Shortage Of Grains Here Continued from Page 1 to purchase during the remainder of the present feeding year. WHAT CAUSES THAT? “This is due to several factors including the larger number cattle on feed; feeding of hot heavier weights; a 22 per cent larger turkey crop; the carcass over of more breeding higher feeding of concentrate dairymen; 46 per cent more fat hatched after June 1, with that 25 per cent more non-lululews were on farms December 1; and later than normal cut of laying flocks. All these conditions are implicated by the critical transition shortage, lateness and quality of the corn crop.” virtually every chapter in Southern California, and representatives from more distant points, including San Francisco, Blythe, Bishop and San Diego, as well as Los Angeles, greeted their national leader. Clement remarked in opening his address, that he had expected to be disappointed in the attendance promised for the meeting. "I didn't know at that time that Roy Mabee was one of the ticket sellers," he explained. Mabee, who single-handed sold 56 tickets for the dinner, is well-known in Izaak Walton league circles, locally throughout the state and nationally. A member of the organization's national board of directors, Mabee won national honors three consecutive years, by obtaining more new members for the organization than any other in the entire nation. Anaheim was well represented at the gathering, as were other Orange county chapters. DEFENDS POLITICAL ACTION Declaring that members of the Walton league constitute "a minority group, rather than a pressure group," he defended the organization's activities of a political nature by explaining, "The league is not in politics, but the course, in trying to save wildlife and natural resources, inevitably leads to the county courthouse, the state capital and on to Washington, D. C." Clemented voiced the opinion, however, that conservation or exploitation of "woods, waters and wildlife" is not necessarily a matter of politics. He cited that the first national conservation move came under Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican President, while a Democratic governor made Pennsylvania a shining example for other states, by putting teeth in its conservation laws. 'Bankers of the future will be more interested in the condition of the soil than in the amount of insurance on buildings, when considering a loan on a farm,' Clement opined. Dinner was served by the Men's club of St. Paul's Lutheran church of Olive, with assistance of their wives, following invocation by their pastor, the Rev. H. H. Weichman. DISPLAYS HIDDEN TALENT A. B. (Bud) Paschall, member of the club and major domo de kitchen of the Anaheim chapter, not only helped in preparing and serving the banquet, but "doubled in brass" with surprising vocal ability, as a part of the entertainment. INVESTS STATE OFFICERS Judge Eldred E. Wolford of El Monte, retiring state president, introduced Ed Adams of Fullerton, his successor in that office. Adams, introduced the national president. At the close of his talk, Clement installed the new officers of the state division, and called on every member of the league and every other Californian to lend them support in their efforts to "bring about protection of the things God gave to all of us." The officers are: Ed Adams, Fullerton, president; Jim Rymer, Anaheim, first vice president; Harold Rasmusen , Santa Ana, second vice president; Mrs. Nellie Steiner, Fullerton, secretary treasurer, and Joe Hunter, Riverside, conservation director. Mrs. Steiner is the first woman to be elected to a state office by the organization. She is a member of the Ann Newman chapter of Fullerton, first women's chapter of the Izaak Walton league in the nation. Benny to Accept Offer By 3 Cities (Continued from Page 1) While he gives a luke-warm "brush off" to the question regarding whether he will insist on occupying the solo chair in the violin section of the youthful musical organization, Benny displays keen evaluation of the idea, thereby "tipping his hand" to the fact that he has toyed with the thought. At the same time, he evinces realization of the respect due his office: "Providing every member of orchestra addresses me as 'Your Honor.'" E. T. Bradley, chairman of the Anaheim Kiwanis club's committee in charge of the orchestra, voiced no opposition to Benny being invited to play "Love in Bloom" with his talented protages, but was doubtful that he could control the young followers of Mozart and Beethoven to the point where he could guarantee how they would address the visiting artist at close of the concert. INVITATION HINTED Bradley announced early in December that the orchestra will appear in only one concert here this winter, and that during January. The exact date has not been announced. He indicated that Mayor-to-be Benny will be invited to participate in posing it, and now will not only vote for it, but will work for its passage. Rymer also quoted a message of regret at being absent, sent by Assemblyman Clyde Watson of Orange. INVESTS STATE OFFICERS Judge Eldred E.

Thumbnaill Sketches Of 'Mayor' Benny (Continued from Page 1) of the Great State of California alone. And what manner of this modern Epaming (Benny makes him look like pilker—he only was dictat Rome, the Balkans and Swainland, remember?) A great and generous souls johnny-come-lately to Anal municipal affairs. Maligned even as all statesmen are about by those who would trate their careers. Benny is not senile; neithe penurious, nor vain. He is not addicted to toupees (Livingstone to the contrary) have the word of Steve Han and NBC's publicity staff that. Said Bob Wachsman, nagan's "Man Friday" who herd of Benny's personal licity: "It's all the old Melarkey You'd be surprised the spets gets." Little Benny returned hot suburban Waukegan with mother, who had gone to Chicago especially to meet him on his trial appearance there. As a child, Jack, at urging of his er, became a violin student in spite of today's radio gag considered quite the child p of Waukegan. DISPLAYS HIDDEN TALENT A. B. (Bud) Paschall, member of the club and major domo de kitchen of the Anaheim chapter, not only helped in preparing and serving the banquet, but "doubled in brass" with surprising vocal ability, as a part of the entertainment. Two talented vaudeville acts provided by the Joe Bren agency of Los Angeles provided amusement before beginning of the speaking program. Harry Steffen displayed mastery of the electric harp and, in addition to masterful rendition of several difficult selections, amused with clever sound effects on that instrument. His imaginary airplane "buzzed" the Civic center roof so close it made members of the audience "duck." Bert Henderson exhibited unusual talent as an imitator and had the assemblage "in stitches," especially with his take-off on the Amos and Andy radio program, which included audience participation by Clement, State Game Warden Ted Jolly and others. A winsome "Madam Queen" could hardly believe her own ears, when she heard herself ask Andy, "If you still loves me, why don't you kiss me?" John Gregory, Fullerton's idea of what constitutes an ideal Izaak Walton league leader and chief of police, won applause for his masterful handling of the duties of master of ceremonies. He also joined in laughter which complimented Henderson's farcical book review of "The Life of John Gregory," high-lighted by the reviewer tearing all of the pages from the last half of the book; "since they covered the period after tages, but was doubtful that he could control the young followers of Mozart and Beethoven to the point where he could guarantee how they would address the visiting artist at close of the concert. INVITATION HINTED Bradley announced early in December that the orchestra will appear in only one concert here this winter, and that during January. The exact date has not been announced. He indicated that Mayor-to-be Benny will be invited to participate. Miss Norma Perkins of Orange, a student at USC, who organized the Youth Symphony, and who serves as its director, said, "We always are delighted to welcome a visiting artist. I am familiar with Mr. Benny's reputation as a violinist." Then she paused to inquire, somewhat wistfully, "Won't Phil Harris be there?" On second thought, Miss Perkins added, hastily, "My duties as part-time conductor of the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic orchestra will necessitate that I be away from Anaheim that night. When did you say the new mayor will be invited to play?" OR SUNSET & VINE? Plans for appointment of an emissary to notify Mr. Benny of his election, by acclamation, to the precedent-shattering office of Mayor of Three Cities goes forward: Time and place of the notification ceremony await the pleasure of the new multi-municipal Chief Executive. With an eye on their combined exchequers, chambers of commerce officials are hoping that Benny does not follow the lead of Harry Truman, who chose his birthplace, Nevada, Mo., at which to learn what he had known for weeks regarding the Vice-Presidency. What's the fare to Waukeegan, anyhow? Little Benny returned home suburban Waukegan with mother, who had gone to Chicago especially to meet him on his trial appearance there. As a child, Jack, at urging of his elder, became a violin student in spite of today's radio gag considered quite the child price of Waukegan. The road led to the high orchestra, to dance bands on early day, and into the a forgotten glory that was Willy's. During World War II Benny became a Gob in Paint and pioneered the trumpet camp and battlefront tour endeared the taxpayers of theatrical world to the maze the street in World War II. Musical comedy then came him, and as is the case with another man, marriage rite. Under the prodding of Livingstone, who has been Benny since 1927, our ee "His Honor" went on and oo to Hollywood and pictures via a guest appearance Ed Sullivan in '32...and to the peak of a brilliant performance as the mayor (or mayors?) of Anaheim, Azu Cucamonga. MAN HURT AS CAR AND BUS COLLIDE William R. Ferris, 28 year route 1, box 278, Anaheim tained injuries which necessitated hospitalization, when his ankle collided Tuesday near bour boulevard and Chapman nue with a bus loaded with dents of Anaheim union school. None of the bus pengers, nor T. B. Cooney, 49 rn box 363-B, Anaheim, wj jured. Travel Oranges begin to Move (Continued from Page 1) At 80 per cent complete, the fruit reveals. While fruit sizes are small, according to the road, sugar content is best in years. Mild weather in mid-December reduced quality of the Joaquin crop, it continues, with thrip damage is heavier than usual in most areas. California's total 1945-46 orchard crop is estimated at 51,300 boxes, 8,600,000 below the feeding season. Monons, which are reaching a point in increasing volume, are expected to total 34,200 carloads season, as compared with only 27,200 last year, and but 27,200 two years ago. Grapefruit matured early in the port region, and picking got off the good start, the report adds. However, the California crop foreseen is 7 per cent below last season's total. Extute Shortage of Grains Here (Continued from Page 1) Purchase during the remainder of the present feeding year. AT CAUSES THAT? This is due to several factors, including the larger number of mice on feed; feeding of hogs to older weights; a 22 per cent turkey crop; the carrying of more breeding hens; and feeding of concentrates by swine; 46 per cent more chicks fed after June 1, with result 25 per cent more non-laying chicks were on farms December and later than normal culling by flying flocks. All these conditions are compounded by the critical transportation shortage, lateness and poor quality of the corn crop in the county. 'Thanks,' Reward As Tazi Driver Returns Wallet Dave Reichers, driver of an Orange and Yellow taxi, took a passenger home Friday night. Returning to the taxi stand at the Valencia hotel, he noticed a wallet, seemingly well filled, on the back seat of the cab. Reichers returned to the house where he had driven the passenger. "Have you lost anything?" the driver inquired, when the man came to the door. "I think not," was the reply. "Where's your wallet?" "Gone!" The description tallied, and Reichers handed the purse to the loser. Hastily glancing at the contents, the latter remarked, "Thanks," and closed the door. Open Verdict in Death of Women At Rail Crossing An open verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest conducted Tuesday afternoon by Coroner Earl A. Abbey, at the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary here, into the deaths of Mrs. Ruby Smith, 34 years old, and her mother, Mrs. Maggie Dierberger, 77, both of Anaheim. Mrs. Smith was killed instantly, and her mother died an hour later in the Orange county hospital of injuries received when their automobile was demolished in a collision with a Santa Fe passenger train at the East Broadway street crossing here at 1:05 p.m. Sunday. The women were en route to the county hospital to visit one of their friends. Picketing in City As Strike Wave Sweeps Country Anaheim has received a mild and peaceful taste during the last week of the labor unrest that is gripping the country. Pickets pace back and forth before two places of business here. One is the telephone exchange; the other, a small grocery and meat market. The former representing the Association of Communication Workers, who were on strike against the Western Electric company, wore "sandwich" boards, slung over their shoulders, fore and aft, carrying messages addressed to telephone operators. Most were couched in humorous terms, such as "Come on, 'Voice With a Smile,' Let's Go Out for Awhile!" REPRESENT BUTCHERS The retail market is watched by one or more men who wear arm bands identifying them as representing the A. F. of L. butchers' union. Sometimes they pace back and forth before the store's open front, especially when delivery trunks appear with meat or bakery goods. Such drivers are handed a notice of the strike, and refuse to make deliveries. Non-union truck drivers ignore the warning and cross the picket line. Union drivers refuse to make deliveries of meat and bakery goods. Picketing began here Thursday in what is generally considered a move to unionize Orange county's food production and distribution industries, when a lone picket appeared before the market at 131 West Broadway, chosen by the union for first test in Anaheim. County's Builder Install Officers Walter L. H. Gelert of Ana, assistant manager of Southern Counties Gas co., was seated as president of Orange County Builder change Jan. 10, at formal orientation ceremonies in the Elks club. Other officers installed Glen A. Anderson, first president; Ross Hostetter, vice-president; Elmer C.ison, treasurer; and Carl W. secretary-manager. Jack was chairman in charge of gram arrangements. The retiring president son Honer. Special honor corded the ladies, as guest occasion. County Medical Group Install New Officers The Orange County Association held regular installation of officers at quiet-program held last evening in the Ebell Club city. This was the fifth annual banquet-installation gram for this group ofIONAL men. New officers inducted in offices for the year are Montanus of Anaheim, Dale C. Phetteplace of Fice-president; Russell Jerson of Westminster, and C. C. Violett of Grove the new librarian. Counselors appointed Vendell Olson, Harry G. and C. Glenn Curtis; or Merrill W. Hollingsworth. All these conditions are compounded by the critical transportation shortage, lateness and poor quality of the corn crop in the belt, the short crop of grain thums and cottonseed, and the wheat program. As expect-transition from total war to time, has also caused some turbing influences." It is pointed out that surplus supplies have been exhausted during war years in order to join the high levels of production so urgently needed in live-k, dairy and poultry products. Imports of wheat and other crops are not possible at this time. All available wheat is used as food to provide bare existence rations for peoples in ravaged areas of the world. **Thumbnail Sketch of 'Mayor' Benny** (Continued from Page 1) The Great State of California, one. And what manner of man is modern Epaminondas?anny makes him look like a mer—he only was dictator of one, the Balkans and Switzerland, remember?) A great and generous soul, thisanny come-lately to Anaheim's principal affairs. Maligned? Yes, on as all statesmen are lied out by those who would frustrate their careers. Benny is not senile; neither is openurious, nor vain. He even not addicted to toupees (Miss Ringstone to the contrary). We see the word of Steve Hannagan in NBC's publicity staff for it. Said Bob Wachsman, Hanlan's "Man Friday" who rides id of Benny's personal puberty: It's all the old Melarkey, Bub. I'd be surprised the space it is." Little Benny returned home to urban Waukegan with his father, who had gone to Chicago specially to meet him on his initial appearance there. As a small old, Jack, at urging of his fathom became a violin student and, spite of today's radio gags, was considered quite the child prodigy Waukegan. mortuary here, into the deaths of Mrs. Ruby Smith, 34 years old, and her mother, Mrs. Maggie Dierberger, 77, both of Anaheim. Mrs. Smith was killed instantly, and her mother died an hour later in the Orange county hospital of injuries received when their automobile was demolished in a collision with a Santa Fe passenger train at the East Broadway street crossing here at 1:05 p.m. Sunday. The women were en route to the county hospital to visit one of Mrs. Smith's six children, all of whom are under 12 years old. The child, a daughter, is reported to have been confined to the hospital about two months by burns sustained when her clothing caught fire at her home. **THROWN TO STREET** The train, second section of No. 74, en route from Los Angeles to San Diego, was running about 30 minutes behind the first section, which passed through Anaheim on time. Mrs. Smith is believed to have been driving the car. Both women were thrown from the wreckage to the street. Mrs. Smith was pronounced dead by Dr. Charles Irvin of Anaheim, who was summoned by police and arrived a few minutes after the accident occurred. Dr. Irvin administered emergency treatment to Mrs. Dierberger, who still was breathing, until an ambulance arrived to remove her to the hospital. Names of members of the train crew appear on the police report as: D. H. Crouch of Los Angeles, conductor, and W. E. Jones, engineer, address not shown. **CROSSING PROTECTED** In addition to the usual white stationary cross-arm railroad crossing warning, the crossing is protected by wig-wag signals, with lights. Three sons of Mrs. Dierberger, George, William, and Wesley, are employed by the Anaheim Bulletin. She is also survived by her husband, Jacob W. Dierberger, with whom she resided at the Bush street address. Mrs. Dierberger was born Aug. 12, 1868, at Gridley, Ill., and came to Anaheim with her husband and children in 1922. Mrs. Smith was born May 18, 1912, at Beaver Crossing, Nebr. Both bodies were removed to the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary here, where funeral services for both victims of the tragedy will be conducted at 2 p.m., Saturday, with the Rev Hayden Sears officiating. Both Mrs. Dierberger and Mrs. Smith refuse to make deliveries. Non-union truck drivers ignore the warning and cross the picket line. Union drivers refuse to make deliveries of meat and bakery goods. The pickets don't accost customers. Picketing began here Thursday in what is generally considered a move to unionize Orange county's food production and distribution industries, when a lone picket appeared before the market at 131 West Broadway, chosen by the union for first test in Anaheim. He later was joined by others. **GAVE STORE TO SONS** The business was founded almost a quarter of a century ago by Octave Roquet, widely-known sportsman and president of the Anaheim chapter of the Izaak Walton league. The elder Roquet said he recently retired and gave the business to his two sons, one of whom still is in the armed services, and the other recently discharged, after four years of army service. The former is LaVerne Roquet, member of the military police at Santa Ana Army Air base. The other, Russell (Rusty) Roquet, was a member of the Trojan football team while attending U.S.C. **NO POLICY CHANGE** Roquet has declared there will be no change in the store's policy as a result of the union activities, although he admits it is impossible for him to obtain supplies, even though he is willing to haul them himself. Wholesalers are fearful of retaliatory action, he explains. The store, which has been operated by Roquet, his wife, sons and a daughter, has remained open, continuously, including Sundays and holidays, with single exception of V-E day, since its founding almost a quarter of a century ago. The union seeks to have Roquet join its ranks and to observe union hours for opening and closing. Clerks and butchers employed by the three major food markets here, two of which are operated by Alpha Beta and the other by Safeway, are members of union organizations. **UNION'S STAND** C.E. Devine, secretary of the Orange county Central Labor council, in a letter to Roquet, expressed regret at having to order picketing of the store, but explained that he feels "efforts to mediate are of no avail." The letter continues, "In opposition such as has been shown, the local union usually adopts picketing, stoppages (of deliveries to the gram for this group of social men).

AN HURT AS CAR AND BUS COLLIDE William R. Ferris, 28 years old, route 1, box 278, Anaheim, sustained injuries which necessitated hospitalization, when his automobile collided Tuesday near Harbor boulevard and Chapman ave. with a bus loaded with students of Anaheim union high school. None of the bus passengers, nor T. B. Cooney, 49 route 4, ex 363-B, Anaheim, was injured. Melrose Abbey Begins Program Of Expansion A building program, entailing expenditure of between $50,000 and $100,000, has been launched by Melrose Abbey, situated on Highway 101 south of Anaheim. Included in the project are several entirely new buildings, as well as additional wings to existing structures. Progress of the project received approval of members of the board of directors last week, when they met to elect officers for the coming year. They include: Bob Fernandez, president; W. A. Mills, vice-president and secretary; E. R. McCoy, treasurer, and E. Fenton Dean, assistant secretary and general manager. The average depth of the ocean below sea level is 12,450 feet; the greatest depth, off the Philippines, 35,400 feet. Mowing pastures two or three times during the growing season will control weeds and bushes and improve grazing. UNION'S STAND C. E. Devine, secretary of the Orange county Central Labor council, in a letter to Roquet, expressed regret at having to order picketing of the store, but explained that he feels "efforts to mediate are of no avail." The letter continues, "In opposition such as has been shown, the local union usually adopts picketing, stoppages (of deliveries to the store) and all other legal means to obtain results." Little, if any, difference in local telephone service was apparent here as a result of the three-day disruption, which was postponed Monday for 30 days, although long distance service was badly crippled. Such calls either were long delayed or entirely impossible to complete. The matter of staying on their jobs or remaining away in sympathy with striking members of the A. of C. E. W., who were picketing the telephone exchange, was left to decision of individual telephone employees. Telephone company officials said at the beginning of the week that 85 per cent were at work in the operating department, which has direct contact with the public, and 67 per cent in all departments. Approximately 175 persons are employed at the Southern California Telephone company's Anaheim exchange, which serves northern Orange county. Although installation workers were off the job, R. J. Rossberg, manager, declared operators were working and the business office functioned as usual. Local dial service would not be immediately affected by a strike. Telephones would continue to function, unless lines were disrupted and forces for their repair were not available. County’s Builders Install Officers Walter L. H. Geldert of Santa Ana, assistant manager of the Southern Counties Gas company, was seated as president of the Orange County Builders’ exchange Jan. 10, at formal installation ceremonies in the Anaheim folks club. Other officers installed are: Allen A. Anderson, first vice-president; Ross Hostetter, second vice-president; Elmer Christenon, treasurer; and Carl W. Myer, secretary-manager. Jack Benton was chairman in charge of program arrangements. The retiring president is Allion Honer. Special honor was accorded the ladies, as guests of the occasion. County Medical Group Installs New Officers The Orange County Medical Association held regular annual installation of officers at a banquet-program held last Tuesday evening in the Ebell Club, this city. This was the fifty-eighth annual banquet-installation program for this group of progresional men. New officers inducted into their offices for the year are John J. Montanus of Anaheim, president; Dale C. Phetteplace of Fullerton, vice-president; Russell I. Johnson of Westminster, secretary, and C. C. Violett of Garden Grove the new librarian. Counselors appointed are G. Wendell Olson, Harry G. Huffman and C. Glenn Curtis; delegates, Merrill W. Hollingsworth, John County Adds 24 Voting Precincts; None in Anaheim No changes were made in the political subdivisions of Anaheim, as the Orange county board of supervisors added 12 voting precincts to the existing 263 in the county. It was the biggest single increase of that nature in at least 20 years, and the first since 1941. Anaheim’s precincts continue at 24, with approach of the spring primary election. There are but eight voting places for the 24 precincts, however. Nine of the new county precincts are in the Fifth Supervisory district, represented on the board of supervisors by Irvin George Gordon. Four of them are in Laguna Beach, three in Newport Beach, and one each in Costa Mesa and South Laguna. Two are added to Board Chairman Willis H. Warner’s home district—the Second. They are in Seal Beach and Westminster. The remaining new precinct is in Santa Ana’s First district, which is represented by Fred C. Rowland. CLUB'S LIQUOR LICENSE SUSPENDED FOR 15 DAYS A license to sell liquor, issued in the name of Esther E. Sampson, Orange City Athletic club, Highway 101, Anaheim, has been suspended for 15 days by the state board of equalization, for alleged sale of intoxicants to a minor, according to announcement Monday. A similar charge against Joe Ruiz of Garden Grove was dismissed. Action in both instances was on recommendation of William G. Wanta Enlist, Sis? Nylons for WACS! Wacs at the Santa Ana Army Air Base are being “durned careful” of their rayon hose these days. Do they particularly like ray-on stockings? Nope. The reason: The supply officer, Capt. Ernest Buckhart, confirms rumors, long prevalent, that nylons will be issued around February 1. “But,” the captain buts, “take care of those raysons. Quota per Wac for the first quarter of 1946 is five pairs of rayons or three pairs of nylons. Each pair of rayons drawn since the year’s beginning is charged against the nylon issue.” SAAAB Wacs are being “durned careful” of their ray-on hose these days. Federal court approval has been given purchase, by a railroad combine of 43 carriers, of sleeping car accommodations of the Pullman company. The purchase price was $75,000,000. Pullman elected to retain its business of manufacturing car equipment when directed in an anti-trust decision to dispose of one or the other.
