COLONY QUIPS A short review of the changing municipal political scene seems to us to be in order with the retirement last week of Leo J. Sheridan. The period between April of 1930 to April of 1946 was undoubtedly a period of good government for Anaheim. Every man mentioned here had a hand on the wheel of Anaheim's ship of state during the period and we can be proud of the efforts each one put forward in the building of this city. Many good men, of course, served before this period but it is our intention to cover only the past sixteen years, and in very short form. In April of 1930 the voters elected Fred Koesel, incumbent, M. W. Martenet and Leo Sheridan. The holdovers at that time were Louis E. Miller, mayor, and Jacob Lakeman. April of 1932 saw Charles A. Mann and John Cook elected to office with the holdovers being Fred Koesel, then mayor, with Martenet and Sheridan. Along in 1933 Mayor Fred Koesel passed away and F. A. Yungbluth was appointed in his stead. The next year, April, 1934, saw Yungbluth, Martenet and Sheridan re-elected for a full term. Mayor Chas. Mann and John Cook held over. John Cook passed away in 1935 when Charles Pearson was appointed to take his place on the council. The election in April of 1936 saw Charles Mann and Charles Pearson returned to office with Yungbluth, Martenet and Sheridan. These last three were re-elected in 1938 and the council remained the same until April. P.-T.A. GROUP REQUEST A RECREATIONAL CENTER HERE In the council meeting last Tuesday, the Horace Mann P.-T.A. requested the council in a petition signed by 90 persons, to construct a centrally located Memorial Community building for the housing community activities, and for recreational activities in Anaheim. The building would be designed for the mutual benefit of adults and Anaheim youth. The institution would be financed by taxes supplied from city mentary and high school areas. The petition asked that the city take immediate steps to establish this cooperative year-around recreational service for Anaheim with recommendations for a reasonable budget for the financing of its activities. "Many California cities have proved that a coordinated plan of public recreation in which school board and city councils pool the use of all recreational facilities, financial resources and employed leadership, provides maximum program for youth and adults at reasonable cost," said the foreword in the petition. The council took the matter under consideration. Expenditures for the period beginning April 1 and ending April 18, are $29,199.51. Billy F. Wilson's appointment as patrolman by Chief Stephenson was approved by the council. Airline Crash Takes Life of Anaheim Man Marvin Swartzbach, of Ross formerly of Anaheim and companion crew members, killed Wednesday when a Western Airlines DC-3 airliner were test-flying after an engine exchange, crashed and burned the San Fernando valley between North Hollywood and Roscoe. The pilot, Wayne Fiederhoff Burbank; mechanic Leon A. Tigeon, Los Angeles; and Swarach—were the only persons aboard the ship. C. N. James, vice-president Yungbluth, Martenet and Sheridan re-elected for a full term. Mayor Chas. Mann and John Cook held over. John Cook passed away in 1935 when Charles Pearson was appointed to take his place on the council. The election in April of 1936 saw Charles Mann and Charles Pearson returned to office with Yungbluth, Martenet and Sheridan. These last three were re-elected in 1938 and the council remained the same until April 1940 when Charles Pearson was re-elected and Ray Van Wagoner elected to office. In April of 1942 the voters selected Robert H. Boney, H. E. W. Barnes and Leo Sheridan to serve with Mayor Pearson and Ray Van Wagoner. These last two were returned to office in April of 1944. Upon the death of H. E. W. Barnes in 1945 the council appointed O. W. Heying to fill out the unexpired term. The recent election on April 9, of this month, returned Robert H. Boney and Oscar W. Heying to office and a new man, Clarence J. Pace, was elected to serve with them. Holdovers being Mayor Charles Pearson and Ray Van Wagoner. Shortly before the 1932 election the city decided to abandon the city manager form of government. In that year E. B. Merritt, J. W. Wallop and Chas. Griffith all ran for city clerk. Merritt was elected but immediately thereafter resigned and John Price was appointed to the office. In 1934, after a strenuous campaign, Chas. Griffith was elected clerk and has held the office ever since. At the insistence of F. A. Yungbluth the city installed some new gadgets called voltage regulators about 1940. These were placed between the city lines and the southern California Edison lines that feed the city. Their function is to cut down the voltage coming into the city when it is too high and to build it up when too low. They have and still are saving the city at least $1000 each month. La Palma park came into being in 1938 and anyone remembering how the northern entrance to the city looked before that time is truly grateful for it. In our outfall sewer system a new treatment plant was built in 1938-9. This was a progressive step, the sewage before had been sent right out into the ocean line untreated. Sections 1 and 2 were pooled use of all recreational facilities, financial resources and employed leadership, provides maximum program for youth and adults at reasonable cost," said the foreword in the petition. The council took the matter under consideration. Expenditures for the period beginning April 1 and ending April 18, are $29,199.51. Billy F. Wilson's appointment as patrolman by Chief Stephenson was approved by the council. A six-month leave of absense was granted to Earl F. Vipond due to illness. An application for domestic water outside the city limits by H. J. Kestenholtz, 1133 West Broadway, was taken under advisement. The request will be granted when that territory is annexed by the city. Beatrice M. Mills was appointed purchasing agent in conjunction with her post as city auditor. A resolution was passed accepting a deed from J. W. Phelps, 384 Cliff Drive, Laguna Beach, for route parking lots. Another resolution was passed accepting a deed from the Southern County bank, also for route parking lots. An application by Electric Motors Inc., and Caltone corporation for the erection of a prefabricated Butler factory type building to be used in the manufacturing of electric motors was granted. The processes of manufacture are considered as light manufacturing and offers no obstacles such as smoke or gases. The factory will be built on Caltone's property on North Los Angeles street fronting on Lemon. Most of the lot for this establishment is in the manufacturing district. May 5, a musical program honoring the Mexican liberation from the foot of the Austrian, Maxmilian, and his French minions, will be staged at the Greek theater by the Mexican Patriotic Festive committee of Orange county.

The pilot, Wayne Fiederhoff Burbank; mechanic Leon A. Tigeon, Los Angeles; and Swainbach—were the only persons aboard the ship. C. N. James, vice-president operations for the company stated that Fiederhoff "sacrificed himself and his crew in a last-minute effort to avail hitting houses which loomed before him through a ground as he came in for a landing under abnormal circumstances." They had been testing the crane for one hour and forty minutes when Fiederhoff reported one engine had failed. When given instructions to land at the Lockhair Air Terminal at Burbank, pilot flew over the airport town He then asked for a change in instructions so he could land at the opposite direction. No further report was received from the plane which crash at 1:58 a.m., in the backyard of a residence occupied by Matthias Brychta, his wife and three children.

FLP Praises Work Of Mexican Labor In an interview granted exclusively to the Gazette last Thursday, Isadore A. Gonzales, associate supervisor of the Farm Bureau Program, declared that agriculture department's wide-ranging farm aid plan was having unprecedented success. Meeting at Buena Park Sat. Small or new farm owners are invited to a field meeting and demonstration under the auspices of the agricultural extension service at the John Agnick place, corner of Franklin and Western ave., Buena Park, at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27th. Discussions will include soil management, irrigation, fertilization, planning the home orchard, the home garden and home meat production, said W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor in charge of arrangements. Many who are employed in industries or other businesses are establishing one and two acre subsistence farms. With proper planning these small farms can be made to produce the greater proportion of the families food needs. Fruit and vegetables are more nutritious and tasty the quicker served after harvest. This along with the fact that home grown food is easier on the pocket book, provides an assured supply, makes the production of home grown food extremely attractive. The young people of the family also have something to turn to, after school hours, to help with the family living and learn by doing. By developing a French dressing which uses lemon juice with gelatine or corn syrup instead of scarce salad oil, the Sunkist Kitchen staff has done another real service for the housewife. Butter will find its way to the dinner tables of more Californians in the next three months. Butter manufacturers in the United States last year was eight per cent below 1944 and 21 per cent below the 10-year average.

The present renewal of the contract has not been presented to the growers as yet, but the Citrus Growers, Inc. expects the contracts to be presented next week for signing. Gonzales revealed that since 1942, 175,000 Mexican Nationals have earned $160,000,000, have been paid the same wages as other local help and have been their native foods prepared expert cooks chosen from among the laborers. They are under government supervision continuously while they are in the state even though they have given live trouble. There are over 500 Mexican Nationals in the county; living 15 county camps.

Cadet Corps in Rifle Contest Sweeping Road Improvements Proposed By Anaheim C. of C. Recently the roads commission of the local chamber of commerce proposed sweeping improvements in the county road system. The suggestions are of paramount importance to Anaheim in particular, and Orange county in general, for it would eliminate the necessity of local motorists having to drive through the heavily congested downtown areas of Fullerton and Santa Ana, and relieve Anaheim of the annoyance of noisy and obstructive heavy traffic, such as trucks, vans, and trailers. It would also give to northern Orange county a beautiful scenic mountain drive which would surpass the most attractive peak drives now existent in the state, and would draw a vast amount of tourist trade from the northern part of the state, the southwestern states of Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, and also bring great numbers of pleasure seekers from the southland. One proposal made which would eliminate the need for passage through crowded downtown Fullerton was the construction of a Santa Ana-Brea canyon freeway which would give Anaheim motorists an unimpeded outlet to Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties, and free wheeling past Santa Ana's congested business district to the south. As proposed, the freeway would be extended past Manchester where its predecessor now terminates to connect with Santa Ana's Bristol street west of downtown Santa Ana, and carried north along the old Placentia avenue through Cypress in Fullerton to connect with the Brea canyon road along the obsolete Placentia avenue. Not forgetting the demands made by outraged Anaheim businessmen and citizens, and by trucking and transportation firms, a freight speedway would be constructed by extending Santa Ana street from Placentia avenue through the orange groves east of town to connect with the Anaheim-Olive road, thus taking the freight traffic off Center street. A suggestion was also advanced in regard to the heavily congested local business area, it was proposed that traffic should be directed upon any property that the owner may possess, and will be collected at the same time and in the same manner as the municipal taxes. Want to travel? The army has interesting assignments overseas. Apply at 109 City Hall, Fullerton. Next week he will be in Fullerton to make a count of that city's residents. The state is expected to make final acceptance of the annexation by May 11, Clark stated.

Films Picture Food Situation in Europe Two films depicting the food situation in Europe, and what is being done about it over there, are available for the use of organizations in Orange county, according to information received today by Stephen Griset, chairman of the USDA county committee. The films have been released by the President's Famine Relief Committee through the U. D. department of agriculture, of which the farm service branch is responsible for implementing the program, Griset said. One film, a 16 m.m. sound film depicts the daily activities of a transportation official, which gives an insight into the struggle for existence which even fortunate people in Europe must undergo; what rationing means in France; and the sad plight of the outraged Anaheim businessmen and citizens, and by trucking and transportation firms, a freight speedway would be constructed by extending Santa Ana street from Placentia avenue through the orange groves east of town to connect with the Anaheim-Olive road, thus taking the freight traffic off Center street. A suggestion was also advanced in regarded to the heavily congested local business area, it was proposed that traffic should be directed down Palm street, in order to relieve the crowded condition of downtown Anaheim while construction of the proposed freeway is underway. The most drastic step considered with the building of a skyline drive over the mountains beginning at the Santa Ana canyon road on the north, climbing over western bank of the Santa Ana river to provide a principal highway from the Santa Ana canyon directly to the beaches, and it would also be an excellent feeder road for many highways which would cross it. Also, would take heavy traffic out of congested cities. "It would, in fact, be a 'beach - to - the - mountain' highway." The fact was forcibly stressed that this is a long-range plan. Also proposed was the construction of a bridge of adequate width over the Santa Ana river between Olive and Anaheim, the state supplying wide parkway to the west to take care of increasing traffic between Long Beach and eastern points. The committee stated the county should purchase right of way while it is attainable at low cost figures, on the western bank of the Santa Ana river to provide a principal highway from the Santa Ana canyon directly to the beaches, and it would also be an excellent feeder road for many highways which would cross it. Also, would take heavy traffic out of congested cities. "It would, in fact, be a 'beach - to - the - mountain' highway." The fact was forcibly stressed that this is a long-range plan. Films Picture Food Situation in Europe The second film, also a single-reel 16 m.m. sound production, deals with the effects of the war upon the children of Europe, and emphasizes the enormity of the task involved, as well as the methods now being used to meet this problem. Upon its success depends the future relationships between the nations of the world; for these are the citizens of the future. The receipt of food, clothing, and medical supplies are shown as well as the camps and schools for the homeless and needy children of Europe. The title of the film, significantly, is, "Suffer Little Children." Organizations desiring to cooperate with the government's program by showing one or both of these films at their meeting, may contact the local farm service branch office at 622 North Main street, Santa Ana, phone 4203, Griset stated.

One of the most signi changes in American food in recent years is tha rapi crease in milk consumption jumped from less than 325 per person in 1930 to 1939 pints per person in 1945. In 1935, Florida canned 22 boxes of oranges; in 1945, 14 lion boxes of oranges went canneries!

L. Wilkinson, national director of agricultural extension service. Since May 8 has been set aside for the special day for all California counties to celebrate, an all-orange county program is being planned which will be held at the Anaheim Ebell clubhouse and Anaheim city park. The following general plan for this day has been announced by Mrs. Lillian Osterman, county one department chairman and committee. At 10 o'clock Barthelemi Poyet took one of the leading residents of this county and one of the early pioneers who helped immeasurably in formulating the early destinies of Orange county. His passing came at 10 o'clock April 20. Born in France in 1872, he came to Canada as a very small child and in 1874, when he was two years of age, his family left Canada and traveled west across the United States in a covered wagon. They settled on a ranch at what is now 28th and Main streets in Los Angeles. Mr. Poyet and his father worked for Mr. Gaylor Wilshire and knew intimately the old Spanish families of southern California in hacienda days. He was a member of one of the oldest pioneer families in Los Angeles county. The family settled in Fullerton in the early nineties and he had been a resident of Orange county since that date, being engaged and interested in the advancement of the walnut and orange industry. He was a great sportsman and lover of the out-of-doors, and was an outstanding fisherman. Left to mourn his passing are his widow, Rosine Poyet of 129 Parker street, Orange; three daughters, Mrs. Rose Carlson of 108 North Glassell, Orange; Mrs. Mary L. Fitz, a teacher and supervisor of elementary schools in Anaheim, and Dr. Ellen Poyet, a physician and surgeon of 490 East Green street, Pasadena; two sons, John Poyet, a resident of the family home on Magnolia Avenue and who is associated with the Borden Fruit company, and Henry Poyet, who has recently returned from overseas duty, having served as a captain in the armed forces, and is an attorney, now residing at 100 Monterey Avenue, Hermosa Beach; one sister, Mrs. Maria Tousseau of East Anaheim; the beloved grandfather of Rosemary and Carolyn Poyet; Yvonne Holly, Mary Ellen and Stephen Robert Fitz, and Richard Carlson.

Police are inves- Dog Poisonings Planned Murder Chief of Police Stephenson reported yesterday that the series of dog poisonings which have been occurring in the immediate vicinity of the 500 block on south Resh street have been occurring at too frequent periods of time to be accidental. Police are investigating the poisonings in order to obtain condemning evidence as to the despicable culprit. The person responsible for these crimes is a dangerous public menace, as the gradual extermination of Anaheim's canine pets means the loss of valuable guards and lovable pets. These killings are torturing the hearts of many boys and girls, and it is imperative that the person responsible for these outrages be brought to justice and given the maximum punishment. Chief Stephenson warned that "dog poisoning is a felony complaint and a penitentiary offense." FIRST AID CLASS OPENS Announcement has just been received by the local chapter, American Red Cross, that there will be a Red Cross First Aid Instructors course beginning May 13, to convene every evening until May 17. This class will be given at the Santa Ana chapter office, 820 North Main street. Registration should be made as soon as possible at the Anaheim chapter office.
