Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years, $3.50; 6 Months, $1.25 IT CAN BE DONE—WITH YOUR HELP Your attendance at the Orange County Fair and Horse Show today and every day until Sunday will be a contribution immeasurable in terms of money. For with your attendance goes the realization that you too are helping leaders and workers of the Assistance League establish a county-wide cancer clinic. The bane of human existence, this terrifying disease has done more to create misery and unhappiness than any other. Ignorance, improper care and inadequate medical attention lend to the further insidiousness of the disease. These humanitarianists — their time and effort contributed over the years with no compensation and little praise and recognition — today seek your assistance. Help them put their show across. Make it a success. A success for them means victory for us. “Kilroy Was Here” New Radio Show “Kilroy was Here,” a radio program presenting a combined musical and dramatic cross-sectional view of a typical service man’s travels during the war, replaces the student contest series, “Peck's Bad boy,” which has been discontinued until the fall school term convenes. Donald D. Britton, co-owner of the Radio Electronic Engineering company, sponsor of the program, is emcee and author of the summer show. Broadcasting 8:30 o'clock each Saturday evening over station KVOE, Santa Ana, “Kilroy Was Here” is dedicated to all “ex” and present G.I.'s The series will continue for a three month period, being replaced by the fifth broadcast in the student contest series, “Peck's Bad Boy” when school opens next fall.

The next day cities were transferred this terrifying disease has done more to create misery and unhappiness than any other. Ignorance, improper care and inadequate medical attention lend to the further insidiousness of the disease. These humanitarians — their time and effort contributed over the years with no compensation and little praise and recognition—today seek your assistance. Help them put their show across. Make it a success. A success for them means victory for you too. For tomorrow you may have need of medical attention for yourself, or some loved one who has been stricken with the nation's number one malady. During the five years of warfare, these women members of the Assistance League staged a warfare of their own on our home front against disease, the suffering of wounded returned from overseas and to banish war-created misery and unhappiness by doing for others. Monies realized from the show — if a profit should be realized — will be divided between the league and the county if it is over $2,000. Money the League receives will go into its general treasury fund for the establishment o fa county-wide cancer clinic. Help them realize that ambition! Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Goetz and their daughters, Margaret and Wilma of Beaumont, Texas, who have been house guests of Mr. and Mrs. John F.

On Tuesday last a social convention was held at the grand ranch of Ashcroft & Pryor, at San Juan Capistrano and at which Santa Margarita, San Luis Rey, Las Flores and Anaheim were represented by delegations, old and young; male and female. Preparations were made on a magnificent scale, and the gathering of the parties at noon was the signal for the beginning of a good time, which ended not until fourteen hours later. At night there gathered beneath the hospitable roof of Senor don Juan Abila a fine array of the beauty and aristocracy of the lower country, including the beautiful young lady from Santa Margarita, whose name we have forgotten. Dancing—with native, American and Spanish, was the order of the occasion and it was late when the guests departed for their homes. The next day the festivities were transferred to the resi- at Santa Margarita, thirty miles below and we judge from numerous telegraph dispatches received from that place, that they are still being continued—and long may they continue. The new dwelling house of Phil Davis & Bro. now being constructed on the site of the building lately burned on Center street, is to be two stories in height, and in other dimensions 50 x 75 feet. It is to be of the composite cottage style of architecture, and intended to eclipse in beauty and convenience the building lately destroyed by fire. C. Tustin announces that he will give six large lots to any society offering to build a church at his town, and will donate $100 toward building material. An active exertion is being made to raise enough money by subscription to purchase a fire alarm bell for Anaheim. The grapes in the vineyards at Anaheim are now about the size of hazelnuts, and where not infested with grasshoppers, have a very healthy appearance. John Hanna informs us that 4000 sacks of wheat and barley has been threshed at San Luis Rey. Deery, the ex-champion billardist of America is in Anaheim and this evening will give an exhibition of his skill at the Enterprise saloon. Quite a shower of rain fell in Young Farmers Seek Joining With State Body Organized to help "bridge the gap between graduation from high school and the time when they are ready to engage in their own agricultural enterprises," the newly formed Anaheim Young Farmers, last week voted to affiliate with the state group. Meeting at the Anaheim Union high school, a week ago last Monday, the new organization, guided by Joseph H. Wilmore, instructor of vocational agriculture at AUHS, announced its decision to apply for a charter and affiliate itself with the California Young Farmers' association. Wimore pointed out, purpose of the organization is to help bridge the gap between the young men's graduation from high school or college until such time when they are ready to engage in their own agricultural enterprises. The group will also provide social and recreational activities for members and will organize night classes for members to brush up on agricultural problems, Wilmore said. The next meeting of the group was set for July 8 at the school. Highlighting the group's first business session was an election of officers which concluded the business meeting. Elected president was Ed Kettler. Mel Bentjen was elected vice-president; Dale Grivey, secretary-treasurer, and Joe S. Young, reporter. Present at the meeting were Orlo Fast, Larry Muckenthaler, Art Bielfelt, Art Vandenberg, Milne Stearns, Don Mauerhan, CITY COUNCIL ON NEW TWO-FAMILY Petition for variation the zone from single family units in the by South Los Angeles South street, Southland East Vermont, the nine-member mission was accepted heim city council dular business sesion night. teen hours later.

The total county assessment will probably be what it was last year—ten million dollars. The personal property shows a decrease in places as compared with last year. Prof. Frantz and Frank Eastman have returned from their circus trip, having forsaken the glamors of that sort of existence. The Professor is of the unalterable conviction that travelling with the circus is not all that it is cracked up to be. He jumped the show at Denver, after a period of luminous red fire exhibition stretching from San Bernardino across Arizona and New Mexico and to the Colorado capitol. He disposed of the ostriches for $200, and will in the future content himself with settling down to the humdrum of every day existence. The Professor will take back his barber shop and will abandon ostrich training. He didn't make a mint of money while away, but he got a whole lot of experience which will be valuable to him in his future life. The Professor was the feature of the show as long as it lasted. He wore, when driving his trained ostriches in the hippodrome, a pair of green silk trousers with gold fringe, red top patent leather riding boots, red silk cap, white shirt and diamonds throwing a flashlight big enough to be on the assessment roll. Plez James is said to be about to start a five cent restaurant in Los Angeles, together with a 5 cent lodging house. One of the 5 cent restaurants in that city feeds as many as 2700 people daily, so it is said, and the proprietor's profits amount to upwards of $350 per month. A substantial meal is given consisting of a plate of soup, a piece of meat, bread and potatoes. For breakfast the bill of fare is a piece of bread, one boiled egg and a cup of coffee. Our informant tells us one would be surprised to see apparently well-to-do people frequenting these cheap eating houses. Jonathan Bixby has sold to the Bixby Land Company 3337 acres at Alamitos. There is a good deal of sugar factory discussion nowadays out toward Alamitos. The yearly readjustment of postoffice salaries leaves that of our worthy postmaster just what it was last year—$1300—the increase in the business of the year being a few dollars inside the amount necessary for a raise. Henry Knapke has given up his saloon and has retired to his residence on Adele street where he is quite ill. He intends to go to the hot springs at Capistrano to take a course of the waters. Benjamin Kraemer is rejoicing over the arrival of a little daughter at his home in Placentia. We are smoking that cigar to your good health, Ben, and the kids. 25 Years Ago June 30, 1921 The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is to conduct the city hall campaign which ends on the 19th day of July, when the people vote on a bond issue proposition for the erection of a new city hall, Miss Frances Schmidt returned on Tuesday from a visit to San Francisco and yesterday resumed her position as assistant in the office of secretary Sheridan at the water company.

Through Secretary Fraser the chamber has offered to take charge of the campaign and the trustees thankfully accepted the offer. Headquarters will be established at the water company office, corner of Center and North Philadelphia streets. The importance of Yorba Linda as an avocado growing section was emphasized at a meeting of the Yorba Linda farm center Wednesday evening at the Murry Horn home. With the industry still in its infancy in that section, it was pointed out that climate and soil conditions make Yorba Linda the equal if not the superior of the hill section of the San Gabriel valley where the avocado leads in fruits grown. Frank Baum was the victim of the early evening burglar some days ago while he and Mrs. Baum were away from home. The thieves entered the house in broad daylight, ramsacked the place and carried away all of Frank's wardrobe, except the clothes he was wearing. Neighbors saw the men drive up and enter the house, appearing later carring the clothing, but supposing them to be on legitimate business, did not molest them. Miss Frances Schmidt returned on Tuesday from a visit to San Francisco and yesterday resumed her position as assistant in the office of secretary Sheridan at the water company.

Passenger car ceiling prices will drop 4 per cent July 1, it was announced here this week by Paul A. Townsend, Office of Price Administration auto price specialist here.
