COLONY QUIPS Our good friend, Clem Whitaker, of San Francisco, is always trying to find out what the man in the street is going to do come the next election. He wants facts. When he gets them he likes to tell as many people as he can their import. The following article by Clem shows him with his neck way out. So we want to pass it on to you. We have a sneaking hunch that he may be right: California is going Republican on Nov. 5th—with a bang that will rattle the rafters in the White House! That is this writer's unqualified forecast, based on political developments which are now rapidly crystallizing, and on state-wide surveys which show the way the wind is veering. The California GOP sweep, first evidenced at the primary, when Governor Earl Warren won both major party nominations, will be continued at the general election (the signs indicate), with these results: Republican majorities in both houses of the state legislature will be strengthened, with the likelihood that there will also be a gain in GOP members in the California delegation in congress. U. S. Senator William F. Knowland will overcome the difficult handicap of a "famous name" opponent and defeat Will Rogers, Jr. Mr. Rogers, running on the strength of his father's name, has vacillated and equivocated on major issues—and just hasn't lived up to his dad's reputation. ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXV FINAL PLANS SET FOR HALLOWEEN FESTIVAL AT 'KICKOFF BREAKFAST Launching final plans for a larger, more spectacular and co-23rd Hallowe'en Festival to be staged October 31, sponsoring members of the Retail Merchants' Division of the Anaheim Chamber Commerce gathered for a "Kickoff Breakfast" last Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock. Kenneth Hellyer, chairman, wielded the gavel. Spoons orange-hued shirts, festival committee chairmen reported on developments in preparation for the gala event. Highlight of the breakfast-session was an auction of "Smooth Puss" buttons which are designed to exempt those Anaheim men without beards from appearing at the Kangaroo court. These pins, to be sold by most local merchants and business men, are the novel means chosen by the Retail Division to finance the huge Hallowe'en Festival. Merchants will not be solicited this year. Those maculine Anaheimers who choose to continue airing their chins are asked to help defray expenses by purchasing one of the big orange pins issued by the Retail Division. "The idea is to have as many beards and as many pins, in town as possible," Hellyer stated. The ladies will be exempt, of course. Bids for buttons at the break- Anaheim Pilot Gets Navy Awaits For Heroism The Navy Cross was awarded to Lt. Cdr. Frank Russell USNR, husband of Mrs. Virgina H. West, 279 East Center station by Secretary of the Navy Jerry Forrestal for the President. Lt. Cdr. West earned award for heroism as a pilot action against the Japanese during the battle for Leyte October 25, 1944. Text of the citation is as follows: "For extraordinary heroism pilot of a dive bomber in Bingham Squadron 15, attached to USS Essex, in action against jor units of the Japanese during the battle for Leyte." U. S. Senator William F. Knowland will overcome the difficult handicap of a "famous name" opponent and defeat Will Rogers, Jr. Mr. Rogers, running on the strength of his father's name, has vacillated and equivocated on major issues—and just hasn't lived up to his dad's reputation. Judge Goodwin J. Knight of Los Angeles will be elected lieutenant governor, defeating Senator John F. Shelley, the San Francisco labor leader, whose CIO-PAC support has proved a boomerang. Labor Boss Shelley's candidacy has suffered seriously as a consequence of growing public irritation with strikes and labor wrangling. The top man of the GOP team at the primary, District Attorney Fred Howser of Los Angeles, will also emerge as high man on the ticket in November, the polls indicate, and has virtually clinched election as California's new attorney general. Defeat of remnants of the CIO-PAC "Package Deal," if the snap tallies are correct, will be both complete and decisive, despite the fact that the Democratic high command has spent campaign funds lavishly in an attempt to re-capture public confidence—and despite an acute shortage of campaign cash in Republican circles. Many factors have contributed to the turn in the tide, but the main consideration, according to public opinion check-ups, is that the people apparently have lost confidence in the New Deal's management of their business. The slow-down in post-war reconversion; the constant jurisdictional quarrels in labor and government; the Wallace-Byrnes explosion and inept handling of international affairs—these are some of the reasons Mr. and Mrs. Voter have decided they want a change. Voters, interviewed by the survey specialists, say it more cryptically, with comments like these: "We want meat, not price cellings, and automobiles, instead of all bis." So you can mark this down on your calendar: On Nov. 5th, California will go Republican. The people want a change One of our greatest errors in government is our reliance on laws. We have over 25,000 laws to finance the huge Hallowe'en Festival. Merchants will not be solicited this year. Those maculine Anaheimers who choose to continue airing their chins are asked to help defray expenses by purchasing one of the big orange pins issued by the Retail Division. "The idea is to have as many beards and as many pins, in town as possible." Hellyer stated. The ladies will be exempt, of course. Bids for buttons at the breakfast ranged from $1.00 to $20.00, and will continue to do so. The first nine "Smooth Puss" buttons were auctioned off at the breakfast with August E. Schumacher bidding $20.00 for the first one. Other buyers included Truman Stuard, $15; Merle Soden, $17; Ray Reafsnyder, $15; Gene Mahaffey, $11; Al Cotler, $10; Jack Hartfield, $10; Leavitt Ford, $10, and Ken Hellyer, $10. Competent auctioneer was Warren Ashleigh. The first $5.00 button was purchased by Mrs. Mary Betzold. All Anaheimers planning to attend the Hallowe'en breakfast in the City Park on October 31 at 7 o'clock should purchase tickets at least a week in advance at the Chamber of Commerce office or from local merchants. Bob Coffin, chairman of ticket sales, declared. The 1000 tickets are selling at an accelerated rate, he said. Because of limited capacity at the park a "first-come-first-served" policy will be in effect with no last minute sales or printing of extra tickets. Chairman of the breakfast committee, Warren Ashleigh gave a general progress report and introduced other committee members who presented individual reports. Seventeen local men have offered to assist with serving Sam Hillgenfeld revealed. Thirty-five waiters are needed in all. A callope and an electric organ have been secured to provide musical entertainment. Eddie Ardias reported. According to Gene Mahaffey, valuable prizes will be awarded for the best and most original costumes. Everett M. Cone, entertainment chairman for the festival, revealed that this year's show will feature the most unique and most hilarious entertainment ever offered. A famed cowboy movie star may appear as grand marshal for the parade, Leavitt Ford announced. Entry blanks from those merchants planning to enter floats in the grand parade should be turned into law enforcement work to be discussed along with the... Voters, interviewed by the survey specialists, say it more cryptically, with comments like these: "We want meat, not price ceilings, and automobiles, instead of all-bis." So you can mark this down on your calendar: On Nov. 5th, California will go Republican. The people want a change! One of our greatest errors in government is our reliance on laws. We have over 25,000 laws on federal and state statute books. In one ten year period we enacted more laws than Britain in all her history, yet in a single year we had 13,000 murders while Great Britain had 247. We need less laws and more respect for courts and judicial authority. Americans cannot legislate themselves into a state of well being. Laws passed at the demand of pressure groups, have been enforced by executive fiat instead of judicial procedure. We would be better off if we would repeal nine-tenths of the laws we have and revamp the others to conform with the concept of our founding fathers. The average man is said to have a larger vocabulary than his wife. He may be a bit better off as to variety, but when it comes to volume the wife usually has it all her own way. One historian says that 11 civilizations have flourished and perished since man first appeared on earth. Give us time and we'll make it an even dozen. Buyers' strikes are threatened as a means of keeping food prices low, but the greatest obstacle to success of such tactics is the unfortunate habit of eating into which so many of us have let ourselves drift.

Donations to the hospital fund will be solicited by Legionnaires and other participating veterans from various organizations all over the county. These and other proceeds will go to the new hospital fund, of which Dr. O. Scott McFarland, pastor of the Santa Ana First Presbyterian church is general chairman. The Newport program calls for a memorial service at 10:30 a.m. to honor the Gold Star mothers. Knight Flays CIO-PAC At City Banquet Superior Judge Goodwin J. Knight, in climaxing a busy day campaigning in Orange county for the office of lieutenant governor of the state, spoke at a dinner arranged by Rancher Ed Power of Anaheim in the banquet room of the Elks club last Tuesday night. In his speech, the judge described the CIO-PAC political alignment as “shot with foreign ideologies” and he blamed "New Deal" political formulas designed to get votes and "those in labor unions who do not want industrial peace" for the labor unrest which is hampering business and industrial recovery. He called upon labor unions to "exclude all Red influence as the leading labor union is now doing" and he championed collective bargaining for labor, demanding fair play with "no encroachment on employers." "I am not going to tell you neo- Toastmasters Celebrate 22nd Anniversary T The twenty-second annumonth, according to Robert Len, newly elected presidene the Anaheim Toastmaster No. 2. Local Toastmaster observe the anniversary, tending an area meeting staged in Santa Ana at cafe next Monday. It sponsored by the SanToastmasters Club No. 100. Allen stated that the first masters club was organizated on October 22, Ralph C. Smedley, to train in speech and leafer for men of mature year work of this first club, now as "Smedley Chapter One," proved so successful that other clubs were established in neighboring munities, organized alone lines. On October 4, 1930, the clubs met to form the feknown as Toastmasters tional and elected J. Clark RECORD-BREAKING ORANGE CROP EXPECTED IN 1947 BY GROWERS There will be a good basic demand for citrus fruit as long as the buying power of the American public continues strong. General reports indicate that the buying power of the public will continue to get votes and "those in labor unions who do not want industrial peace" for the labor unrest which is hampering business and industrial recovery. He called upon labor unions to "exclude all Red influence as the leading labor union is now doing" and he championed collective bargaining for labor, demanding fair play with "no encroachment on employers." "I am not going to tell you people how to vote," said the judge, "but this is the first time in the history of our state that a lieutenant governor is being elected while a governor is still in office. The man elected to the office of lieutenant governor must be in harmony with his immediate superior. He must work with him at the job and in the governor's absence, which sometimes occurs, he must take over where the governor left off. Needless to say, my opponent jeered Governor Warren last May and now he is reaching for his coat-tails!" "The PAC is pretending to be a friend of labor," said the judge, "and it tried with all its power to defeat Governor Warren." He called for labor to "get its house in order and end this series of jurisdictional disputes." Introduced by Superior Judge Franklin G. West of Santa Ana, who started university training with him 31 years ago, Judge Knight paid high tribute to the county's Republican Central committee and its chairman, Mrs. Lella Eastman of Orange, first woman to be elected chairman of a central committee in California. He had spoken earlier in the afternoon at Santa Ana Masonic Temple to pledge cooperation in broadening water studies if elected. Judge Knight spent 10 years as judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles county. He was a successful practicing attorney for 15 years in California and is a graduate of Manual Arts High school in Los Angeles. His college days were spent at Stanford university and his post-graduate studies took place at Cornell university. Ralph C. Smedley, to train in speech and learnt for men of mature years work of this first club, now as "Smedley Chapter One," proved so successful useful that other clubs were established in neighboring municipalities, organized along same lines. On October 4, 1930, the clubs met to form the few known as Toastmasters national and elected J. Clark berlain as the first president. The clubs were at first to southern California, when idea was extended by the contacts, but it soon be reached out until it was one in all parts of the United States as well as in Canada and Britain. This 22nd anniversary has proximately 430 clubs charged with a total of nearly 11,000 bers in 35 states of the States and in England, Scotland, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and the Hawaiian Islands. Each club is limited to 30 bers, and all the clubs carry the standard program of practice and evaluation, mentary practice and group discussion. The entire organization ducted on a non-commercial profit basis, and the extent the work is the result of activity of men who have its benefits and are eager to the opportunity to others. The organizer has ever been enriched by the Toastmasters, he coached. A democratic organization club aims to serve the community by training men for leathery and helping them to increase usefulness in business and affairs. It emphasizes the free speech and trains exercise that right effect Allen concluded. Test Results on Coastal Barrier To Be Presented Joseph F. Poland, geologist on ground water division, States Geological Survey, sent the results of seven years work by himself and his investigation of "The Barrier" at a dinner meeting the Memorial Hall at Hunts Beach, 6:30 p.m., on Tuesday October 22. The dinner meeting is spotted along with the essex football carnival. Donations to the hospital fund will be solicited by Legionnaires and other participating veterans from various organizations all over the county. These and other proceeds will go to the new hospital fund, of which Dr. O. Scott McFarland, pastor of the Santa Ana First Presbyterian church is general chairman. The Newport program calls for a memorial service at 10:30 a.m. to honor the Gold Star mothers. A football classic with 12 high school teams participating will follow. During the evening there will be a torchlight parade, beginning at 6:30 p.m., climaxed by a grand ball at 9:00 p.m. All veterans' organizations are participating and will enter floats. In addition, many of the floats to be seen in a parade at Santa Ana during the morning, arranged by the Santa Ana Veterans of Foreign Wars, will be in the Newport torchlight parade. Pearson Asked to Boost Scrap Drive President of the California Manufacturers association, K. T. Morris, requested Mayor Charles Pearson in a telegram to start campaign in Anaheim to raise scrap metal to meet the nationwide shortage. Norris said in the wire that his association had been appointed by the government to lead the California drive in locating additional supplies of badly-needed scrap metal. He also urged Pearson to solicit the aid of local industry, farm and business organizations to salvage every piece of steel, iron and lead scrap and turn it over to the scrap dealers. Morris stated in conclusion that enforced lay-offs in many California factories have been directly caused by lowered mill and foundry inventories, some of which have supplies left for as few as only 10 or 15 more days. Within the boundaries of the Soviet Union are 177 distinguishable races, nationalities and tribes speaking 125 different languages or dialects.

RECORD-BREAKING ORANGE CROP EXPECTED IN 1947 BY GROWERS There will be a good basic demand for citrus fruit as long as the buying power of the American public continues strong. General reports indicate that the buying power of the public will continue strong into 1947, but as far as the U.S. crop of oranges is concerned, even a high buying power in 1947 might not be enough to move it all successfully. To say the least, next year's orange crop may break all records. While the California winter crop is estimated approximately the same as last year, the Florida crop will be about 16 per cent greater. Whether the expected high demand will equal supply, is a factor that cannot be estimated at this time. The prospect for the removal of price cellings on oranges is anybody's guess, but it seems probable that they will be removed by early January and possibly on November 1 to December 1. Decision on the price ceiling question depends entirely upon the volume of fruit available from all purchasing regions and the prices at which it sells. Leading shippers of California, Florida and Texas believe that this supply will be more than sufficient to meet the demand this winter and that cellings will be removed. An exceedingly important place in the general citrus marketing picture has been taken by canned citrus products. Florida hopes to can about 70 per cent of its grapefruit and 50 per cent of its oranges this coming year. Florida now has enough canning facilities in operation to can the entire Florida citrus crop. While the canning program is not as high in Texas and California, it has grown substantially in the past five years. Canned citrus juice is both a substitute for fresh fruit and a plus business for the citrus industry. While it is being used as a substitute for fresh juice because of labor shortages and ease of preparation, it is also plus business in that it offers a chance to sell citrus where fresh fruit cannot be handled. For the slump in the lemon market during late July and August, cool weather and the sugar shortage were primarily responsible. At no time during the summer did the major markets of the east experience a prolonged hot spell. In the southwest, where warm weather did prevail for extended periods, the trade estimated they could have sold considerably more lemons if there had been sufficient sugar. Lemons were not the only food commodity to suffer from the sugar shortage. Florida limes had a poor season and many of the deciduous fruits experienced poor demand because housewives could not get enough sugar for canning.

The dinner meeting is sponsored by the Orange County Water District, the Orange County Association, the Associated Bers of Commerce of Orange County, Inc., the Orange County Flood Control District and the Orange County Farm Bureau. Vernon Hell, president of Orange County Water District claims the meeting will be most important session of year. "Water is the life-blood our country," he said, "and coast line is in danger." Assisting Heil will be Kenny, president of the Orange County Coast association and M. Longmoor, president of the associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. Reservations are being made by Harry Welch, Newport Chamber of Commerce; Gardner, Orange County District and William Gallaway secretary of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county. All reservations must be in lienne's office not later than October 21. DRIVER FINED $150 Jason T. Dunton, 22, of 619 Broadway, was sentenced to $150 fine or 75 days in the jail by Santa Ana City Judicial Court. M. Crookshank, last Friday, pleaded guilty to drunk driving. He was arrested at May Camille streets, Santa Ana, on o'clock Friday morning. ZETTE 17, 1946 TEN PAGES NUMBER 51 Toastmasters to Celebrate 22nd Anniversary Tues. The twenty-second anniversary of the Toastmasters movement will be celebrated locally and throughout the nation during this month, according to Robert J. Allen, newly elected president of the Anaheim Toastmasters Club No. 2. Local Toastmasters will observe the anniversary by attending an area meeting to be taged in Santa Ana at Pierres' safe next Monday. It will be sponsored by the Santa Ana Toastmasters Club No. 100. Allen stated that the first Toastmasters club was organized in Santa Ana on October 22, 1924, by Ralph C. Smedley, to provide training in speech and leadership for men of mature years. The work of this first club, now known as "Smedley Chapter Number One," proved so successful and useful that other clubs were soon established in neighboring communities, organized along the same lines. On October 4, 1930, the various clubs met to form the federation known as Toastmasters International and elected J. Clark Cham- TWO YOUNG BICYCLE RIDERS DIE AS THREE AUTOMOBILES COLLIDE Two little chums were struck down and killed during a three-car accident as they rode "double" along East Center street on a bicycle last Friday night, while they were enroute to their homes after attending a "Teen Agers" dance in downtown Anaheim. One of them, Norman E. Paul, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Paul of Cypress street, East Anaheim, on the Coffman tract, was killed instantly and Larry E. Summers, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon W. Summers of East Center street, died of injuries shortly after the accident as he was on his way to the hospital. Driver of one of the cars, Refugio Rodriguez Mejia, 25, 186 North Lemon street, was booked by police on charges of being intoxicated while driving. Drivers of the other two cars were Kenneth W. Dorn, 17, route 3, box 220 and Everett Philip Martinez, 305 North Paulina street. Both of these cars were overturned. The accident occurred in the 1400 block at approximately 10:55 p.m., as the lads were proceeding east on Center street. The three cars were heading in the same direction, according to the police. Results of the inquest which followed, exonerated Dorn entirely of all criminal responsibility. On October 4, 1930, the various clubs met to form the federation known as Toastmasters International and elected J. Clark Champerlain as the first president. The clubs were at first confined to southern California, where the idea was extended by personal contacts, but it soon began to reach out until it was organized in all parts of the United States, as well as in Canada and Great Britain. This 22nd anniversary finds approximately 430 clubs chartered, with a total of nearly 11,000 members in 35 states of the United States and in England, Scotland, Ontario, Manitoba, British Columbia and the Hawaiian Islands. Each club is limited to 30 members, and all the clubs carry on the standard program of speech practice and evaluation, parliamentary practice and group discussion. The entire organization is conducted on a non-commercial, non-profit basis, and the extension of the work is the result of the activity of men who have enjoyed benefits and are eager to give their opportunity to others. No paid organizer has ever been employed by the Toastmasters, he commented. A democratic organization, the club aims to serve the community by training men for leadership and helping them to increase their usefulness in business and civic affairs. It emphasizes the right to free speech and trains men to exercise that right effectively, even concluded. Test Results on Coastal Barrier To Be Presented Joseph F. Poland, geologist for the ground water division, United States Geological Survey, will present the results of seven years of work by himself and his staff in a investigation of "The Coastal Barrier" at a dinner meeting in Memorial Hall at Huntington Beach, 6:30 p.m., on Tuesday, October 22. The dinner meeting is sponsored by U.S. Civil Service commission. The basic rate of pay for substitutes is $1.04 an hour. Appointments are usually made to substitute positions and promotions are made to regular positions according to seniority of appointment. Applicants must actually reside within the delivery range of the Anaheim post office or be bona fide patrons of the office. Persons employed in the Anaheim post office will be considered bona fide patrons of the office. No experience is required. Applicants must qualify in a written test. Further information and application card form 5000-AB may be obtained from the commission's local secretary, Marshall McLie, located at the registry window in the post office. Applications must be on file with the director, 12th U. S. Civil Service Region, room 129, Appraisers building, 630 Sansome street, San Francisco 11, California, not later than the close of business on October 28. To Cancel 37,811 Co. Registrants Unless They Vote Cancellation of their registrations awaits 37,811 residents of Orange county unless they vote at next month's general election, County Clerk B. J. Smith's records revealed today. Although these local citizens were registered prior to May 1, they failed to vote in the June primary election. A total of 76,934 Orange county residents were qualified by registration to vote at the primary. Only 39,123 voted. Out of 4,113,008 Californians registered before the primary, 2,087,654—or 50.75 per cent of the state's qualified voters—chose the nominees. California's election laws cancel a voter's registration if he or she fails to vote either at the primary or statewide general election. Registered voters who will be away from home November 5 can now cast absentee ballots, the county clerk's office points out. Any registered voter who will be away from home election day can apply by letter or in person to the County Clerk's office in Santa Ana for an absentee ballot, on or before October 31. The application, if written, should include the voter's home address, and if possible, of the other two cars were Kenneth W. Dorn, 17, route 3, box 220 and Everett Philip Martinez, 305 North Paulina street. Both of these cars were overturned. The accident occurred in the 1400 block at approximately 10:55 p.m. as the lads were proceeding east on Center street. The three cars were heading in the same direction, according to the police. Results of the inquest which followed, exonerated Dorn entirely of all criminal responsibility. The coroner's jury, after weighing all evidence and interviewing all eyewitnesses that could be located, concluded that the bicycle could have been struck by either Mejia's vehicle or the one driven by Martinez. The case was referred to the office of the district attorney for further investigation. Both of the young victims were attending Fremont Elementary school. Funeral services for Sunmers was conducted at 10:30 a.m. yesterday, with the Rev. J. R. Jennings, pastor of the Church of the Brethren at Santa Ana officiating. Burial is at Loma Vista. Larry leaves his parents; three brothers, Charles W. Summers, of Compton, Howard E. Summers and DeLos O. Summers of Anaheim; grandmother, Mrs. Sarah E. Maragon of Indiana. He was born in North Liberty, Indiana, and lived in Anaheim only seven months. Last rites for Norman Paul was also held yesterday, with Ada S. Teeple, pastor of Fullerton Four-square church officiating at 2:30 p.m. Burial is at the Anaheim cemetery. Norman Paul leaves his parents; two brothers, Donnie J. and Walter M. Paul; one sister, Marjorie Paul; a grandmother, Mrs. Birdie Dutter of Yorba Linda. He was born in Sedalia, Missouri and lived in Anaheim for ten years. Both services are being conducted from the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel. Pioneer Barber Sells Shop After 60 Years Here After cutting hair for three generations, "Billy" Franz, barber of 60 years standing and owner of Billy Franz's Barber Shop, 318 West Center street, sold his business to W.

Poland, geologist for the ground water division, United States Geological Survey, will present the results of seven years of work by himself and his staff in a investigation of "The Coastal Barrier" at a dinner meeting in the Memorial Hall at Huntington Beach, 6:30 p.m., on Tuesday, October 22. The dinner meeting is sponsored by the Orange County Water District, the Orange County Coast Association, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County, Inc., the Orange County Food Control District and the Orge County Farm Bureau. Vernon Hell, president of the Orange County Water District,lims the meeting will be the first important session of the year. "Water is the life-blood of our country," he said, "and our last line is in danger." Assisting Heil will be H. F. Enny, president of the Orange County Coast association and W. Longmoor, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce Orange county. Reservations are being handled by Harry Welch, Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce; Dion Ordner, Orange County Water District and William Gallienne, secretary of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county.

Dunton, 22, of 619 West Roadway, was sentenced to a fine or 75 days in the county by Santa Ana City Judge R. Crookshank, last Friday after pleaded guilty to drunk driving. He was arrested at Main and nille streets, Santa Ana, at 1:25 pock Friday morning. Current Cycle Change Planned For Anaheim If your electric phonograph begins knocking out the eight beats just a bit faster folks, don't be alarmed. Anaheim may soon have its electric power coming in on a 60 cycle scale instead of at 50 cycles, as is the case at present. Two city councilmen, the city attorney and representatives of the Anaheim light and power plant met with representatives of the Southern California Edison company and officials of the cities of Azusa and Colton last Tuesday night in Colton in order to discuss the possibilities and means for changing the electric power supplying Anaheim and the other two cities from 50 cycles to 60 cycles. The change over will not be immediate, however, as the project would take months of planning and re-wiring on the part of the electric company. Anaheim councilmen who attended the meeting were Ray Van Wagoner and Clarence Pace, along with City Attorney Preston Turner, and two representatives of the local power plant, Max Moody and George Oelkers. Pioneer Barber Sells Shop After 60 Years Here After cutting hair for three generations, "Billy" Franz, barber of 60 years standing and owner of Billy Franz's Barber Shop, 318 West Center street, sold his business to W. T. Tidwell, formerly of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, this week. "Guess it's about time I retired," he beamed. Active for his 70 years, Franz states that he will relax and take life easy at his home, 211 West Williellina street, where he resides with his Canadian-born wife. "Billy" Franz will be remembered by many pioneer residents as a trainer of ostriches on West Broadway 50 years ago. Franz used to drive his trained ostriches through town, featuring them at carnivals. He later traveled with Wallace's circus touring the country. He came to Anaheim at the age of 12. The six of Franz's 14 children living, include Mrs. Gladys Clapp of Anaheim; Mrs. Vivian Kraemer of Yorba Linda; Mrs. Thelma Hell of Phoenix, Ariz.; Roswell Franz of Fullerton; William Franz, Jr., and Herman Franz of Davis.
