COLONY QUIPS How many people know that the Ike Whiton group are not a hunting and fishing club but a serious crowd who work, think, plan and fight for conservation. Conservation of our wild life and our great heritage of the "outdoors" that so many simply take for granted and expect it all to last forever. But it will not last, is, in fact, rapidly disappearing fishing at our front door and the hunting at our back have changed remarkably in the past thirty years. Just in those few years we have seen the quail and dove killed off on the Santa Ana dike just east of town and bait for deep sea fishing almost become extinct. In 1946 there were some 48,000 deer killed in the state or a total of 12,000 more than last year. Last year the limit was two bucks or one buck and one doe. This year the limit was one buck. And still over 12,000 more were killed officially, the ones brought in by the back door were, of course, not in this figure. Even with the meat shortage something must be done or there will be no more deer in the state: Two things must be done other than that of hiring more game wardens and that is (1) shorten the season and (2) open the bear season at a different time than the deer season. This last needs a bit of explanation, at least we had to ask what the score was on this one. Anyway it seems that a party of, we'll say, ten hunters go out for their deer. Each one has a tag for one buck. Five of them never see a deer and Youth Symphony And Choir Appear Here Next Sunday The long awaited appearance of the talented Orange County Youth Symphony orchestra composed of young people of this county, will be held on Sunday afternoon, December 15, at the Anaheim High school auditorium beginning at four o'clock. This is the first in the new series of concerts as planned by the Kiwanis club of Anaheim, sponsors of this group of musicians. A new innovation to the orchestra this year is the formation of a youth choir which now numbers almost sixty voices. The choir was organized by Norma L. Perkins, director and organizer of the orchestra, in order to fill a long needed program for young people who do not play a musical instrument but who are interested in singing. As stated by a representative of the new group, the response has been most heartening and the encouragement the youngsters have received from their work has inspired additional members to seek enrollment. DEPARTMENT TO CITY COURT Anaheim's city council meeting in the council chamber, amending one ordinance, and deciding to hold an adjournment cussing the Christmas payroll. The first reading of Ordinance), was passed by the council improve bookkeeping assessment methods. Now granted, is a variance requested by W. L. Hollowell, 1st East Center street, for the post of building a chicken hatchery and conducting a breeder farm. The council's decision November 19, denying the variance, was rescinded at last Tuesday's meeting when a delegation of Hollowell's neighbors appealed to announce their approval of the project. Due to the fact that Hollowell's expansion is in an area where the land is divided into twelve five-acre tracts, the project will not interfere with the residents' aspects of the surrounding territory. He was represented by J. Frils, former city attorney Anaheim. Two things must be done other than that of hiring more game wardens and that is (1) shorten the season and (2) open the bear season at a different time than the deer season. This last needs a bit of explanation, at least we had to ask what the score was on this one. Anyway it seems that a party of, we'll say, ten hunters go out for their deer. Each one has a tag for one buck. Five of them never see a deer and yet all ten tags belonging to the party are filled up. Get the picture? Now we all know that when a man gets an extra deer he just gives it to another of the party. So here is where the bear season comes into the picture. This party who has already killed his buck goes out and takes his high power rifle along and runs into a game warden. The game warden asks to see the hunter's deer tag. The hunter says that he has already used his tag but now he is only out to hunt bear. That stops the game warden. But it doesn't stop the hunter who can go along and fill up his partner's tags. So to hold down the hunters the bear season cannot run concurrently with the deer season. This same group of Ike Walkons went to bat some time ago and stopped the building of a road over Camel Back to connect Santa Ana valley and the Corona valley. Few people ever heard about it but if the road had gone through we would have pushed the wildlife out of this game preserve to almost certain extinction and also created a tremendous fire hazard in this county. We have the Ike's to thank for that. Another thing this group has up its sleeve is instruction and contests for the young people, boys and girls alike. Get them interested in the great outdoors and the delinquency problem will drop. No wonder about the great increase in membership in this kind of organization. Its tenets are sound; constructive ideals of conserving the out-doors for coming generations. If you don't already belong you ought to get in, it only costs three bucks a year. And that's not deer. Colonist Band Takes Prize In Band Review Anaheim Union high school's Colonist band which now numbers almost sixty voices. The choir was organized by Norma L. Perkins, director and organizer of the orchestra, in order to fill a long needed program for young people who do not play a musical instrument but who are interested in singing. As stated by a representative of the new group, the response has been most heartening and the encouragement the youngsters have received from their work has inspired additional members to seek enrollment. The public schools of Orange county and especially the parochial schools in the county have supported the choir in a manner far beyond earlier expectations. The choir promises to be one of the highlights of the organization. The program Sunday afternoon will be opened with selections by the orchestra who will play "The Procession of the Meistersingers" by Wagner; "Prelude, Choral and Fugue" by Bach, and Minuet from "Military Symphony," by Haydn. As the initial appearance of the choir their first number will be "O Come All Ye Faithful" followed by "Under the Stars"; "Away in a Manger" and "Joy to the world," songs appropriate of the Christmas season. Their portion of the afternoon program will be Christmas carols. Three movements from "Capriccio Espagnol" by Rimsky-Korsakoff will find the orchestra again taking up the program following a short intermission. For this number, an incidental violin solo will be played by Virginia Casey. Next the orchestra will play a selection from the "Water Music" by Handel; "Allegro" by Flocco Perkins, and "Valse" by Brahms as played by the string orchestra. To conclude the program the choir will present "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Cantique de Noel," "Silent Night" and "Now the Day is Over." The personnel of the choir is as follows: Gary, Knox, Buddie Knox, Patsy Barber, Donna Lowe, Darlene Stolhand, Mary Lawrence, Carol Andrada, Dorane Tagney, Mari Elina Burns, Shirley Siemann, Jean Pelle, Rose Marie Simmons, Mira Moody, Alice Weaver, Verona Oilkers, Helen Barrett, Peggy Hallager, Lily Espinoza, Helen Zarres; Imogene Larsen, Betty Monnig, Joan Pelle, Mary Bushman, Joanne Carter. Ronald Kusel, Lois Macosky, Lydia Ramirez, Dolores Martinez, Lois Barrett, Annerill Davis, Shirley Bandick, Beverly Armovember 19, denying the variance, was rescinded at last Tuesday's meeting when a delegation of Hollowell's neighbors appealed to announce their approval of a project. Due to the fact that Hollowell's expansion is in an area where the land is divided into two acre tracts, the project will not interfere with the residents' aspects of the surrounding territory. He was represented by J. Frils, former city attorney for Anaheim. An adjourned meeting for our purpose of discussing the Christmas payroll will be held no Tuesday, December 17. Results of the meeting will be the regular payment of city employees before Christmas instead of waiting until after the holiday.

Whether he'll have any trouble with the parking meters may turn out to be another story. At any rate, the old boy is due Friday at 7:00 p.m. in all his glory. It was disclosed on Wednesday that many of the stores will close at their regular hours but will re-open at 7:00 p.m. The gift hunt will begin at 7:00 and will last until approximately 9:00 o'clock. At the conclusion of Friday's two hours of Christmas doings, the stores will close. Many shopowners will keep their doors open from Monday, December 16, until Christmas eve, December 24. Nearly all of them will close at their regular hour on this date. The major part of Anaheim's shopping district will go on an evening schedule beginning Thursday, December 19, with few exceptions. Warren to Run March of Dimes Walter Johnson, known far and wide over the entire United States; from Flatbush avenue, Brooklyn; to Center street of Anaheim, is dead. At the age of 59, the former strike-out king of the American Baseball league, affectionately known as "The Big Train," succumbed late Tuesday, December 10, of a brain tumor. When Johnson's death first became known, it was the old timers of Anaheim and the surrounding communities, sportswriters and his personal friends who realized the loss. Johnson was a sort of superman to them who mowed down batsmen right and left from the start of his career at Fullerton High school. In later years, when Johnson was accepted by the Washington Senators, he earned his everlasting nickname. The Senators were definitely a flagging team when Johnson first began. The motto of Washington had become "First in peace, first in war and last in the American league." It took Johnson's speedball to keep the team going, hauling them along like a big train. The fans, the players, the sportswriters began calling him "The Big Train." During his 20 years of ball playing, Johnson's greatest game is still remembered here; but it wasn't against a major league nine. He was a schoolboy at the time, pitching for Fullerton High school against a rough and tumble outfit from Santa Ana. After 19 innings, when the game was halted by darkness, the score was still 0-0. Johnson had allowed seven hits, but none of them were payoff slugs. He later played with an Olinda team in 1906. Of all the catchers he teamed up with, Guy Meeks, who later entered the Idaho league with him, was his favorite. Teams from all over the country gathered at the former ball park west of the Santa Fe depot here in Anaheim to "Beat Johnson," or "try to beat Johnson." Oscar Jones, famed pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers, journeyed to California in 1907 and temporarily joined an outfit with the idea in mind to give Johnson some real competition. Olinda took the game. After becoming an official member of baseball's hall of fame, Johnson retired to a farm near Germantown, Maryland. Twenty years of major league playing were behind him. He suffered a stroke last April and had been under treatment. December 24. Nearly all of them will close at their regular hour on this date. The major part of Anaheim's shopping district will go on an evening schedule beginning Thursday, December 19, with few exceptions.

Conservation Officers Elected; Griset Retires, Receives Gift The election of officers to administer the Agricultural Conservation Program in Orange county and committees for the calendar and fiscal year of 1947 was completed this week, the members of the county committee being selected on a community basis, as well as farmer representatives. Roy L. Hale of Placentia was elected chairman of the county committee and will represent the citrus interests on the committee. Ray E. Beem of Smeltzer was elected vice-chairman and will represent the bean and field crop farmers. R. F.

Following the election, the county committee met and elected the county office staff for the coming year, this completing the organization of the committee. Eric E. Eastman is the new secretary; Vera Jewell, treasurer; and Inez Kogler is assistant treasurer. The committee also considered the state docket of conservation practices, and the recommendations of the community committees for the 1947 program. From these, the practices and specifications for the Orange County handbook were derived; which, when compiled, will be the 1947 program of agricultural conservation for this county. The 1946 and 1947 county committees later held a joint meeting which was featured by the presentation of a gift to the retiring chairman, Stephen Griset, from the county committees and the office staff, as a token of the appreciation of the donors, and (Continued on Page 5) LARRY ESTRADA JOINS PARATROOP DIVISION Larry Estrada, 18, 1150 Parry street, enlisted for a term of three years in the regular army through the local army recruiting office at 202½ West 3rd street, Santa Ana.

Coaches to Enter City Via Los Angeles Street Motor coaches of the Pacific Electric Railway company are now operating through Anaheim via Los Angeles street due to a re-routing plan recently approved by the City Council and the California Railroad commission. The route change, which became effective last Monday, was designed to eliminate difficulties due to traffic congestion along the old route via North Lemon, Chestnut and Broadway. Also eliminated is the turning movements of the motor coaches in the business district, which was necessary under the former plan. Studies of the new operation have indicated the advisability of establishing specific passenger riding zones which have been designated and marked for public convenience. Under the new arrangement, stops will be made to aid and discharge passengers along Los Angeles street at Laima avenue, North street, Wilmina street, Sycamore street, Bartres street, bus station between Chestnut street and Broadway. PUBLIC RESENTMENT MARKS ADVENT OF PARKING METERS The recent installation of parking meters in the city has excited more than a little attention and talk about the advantages and disadvantages of metered parking. As in all cities, whenever such "gadgets" are installed, along come added parking citations. To many people, the 412 shiny nickle-tickers constitute exactly 412 more ways for cutting into the hard-earned weekly pay-check. President of USC To Tell Alumni Of Post-War Role Orange county alumni of the University of Southern California will convene at a dinner meeting in the Elks clubroom on January 10, highlight of the affair to be an address given by Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the university, who will speak on the post-war role of USC. Touring the state for the first time since 1941, Sproul will be accompanied by two scientists from the university's radiation laboratory, Dr. Luis Alvarez and some take the meters calmly, as a necessary evil; others storm belligerantly over hill and dale screaming "unfair!" There are a few who offer the other cheek, extolling the many advantages. After one week of "Operation—Parking Meter", criticism against the installation is on the increase. Citizens, unused to being charged for parking on a city street, are finding themselves already beating a frequent path to the City Hall, paying the one dollar fine. Actual loss of business has been noticed by two shop owners interviewed. One of them stated that metered parking is "a detriment to the community" and the other declared that if a petition is ever circulated as a demand for doing away with the meters, he Studies of the new operation have indicated the advisability of establishing specific passengerading zones which have been designated and marked for public convenience. Under the new arrangement, stops will be made to aid and discharge passengers along Los Angeles street at La Lima avenue, North street, Wilimina street, Sycamore street, Bartres street, bus station between Chestnut street and Broadway, Santa Ana street, Water Street, South street and Vermont Avenue. A. M. Thomas, bus depot agent, will continue to handle Pacific Metric tickets.

Schmelzer, secretary-treasurer of the city's 1946 Community Trust Drive. Items the Chest committee is slightly short of the goal of 1855 by $6,439.82, to be met. Christmas is coming and organizations who expected receive their quotas from fund funds before November 30 still waiting. These organizations are purely local outfits, possessed of people known and selected in the community. Take Orange county alumni of the University of Southern California will convene at a dinner meeting in the Elks clubroom on January 10, highlight of the affair to be an address given by Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the university, who will speak on the post-war role of USC. Touring the state for the first time since 1941, Sproul will be accompanied by two scientists from the university's radiation laboratory, Dr. Luis Alvargas and Dr. Melvin Calvin, who will discuss the latest developments in the peacetime uses of atomic energy. At the present time, Sproul is attending trustee meetings of the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations at New York. The latter institution, was largely responsible for financing the university's new cyclotron, unveiled at Berkeley last month. This machine is said to be the most powerful atom-smasher in the world. Professor Alvarez, who is now working on a linear accelerator which may produce energies even greater than the 4000-ton cyclotron, was one of the scientists in the B-29 super-fortress that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and was responsible for a vital part of the plutonium bomb itself. Alvarez also played an important role in the development of radar sets used for early warning and high altitude bombing. Author of numerous papers on atomic structure, Professor Calvin is known for his easily-understood explanation of nuclear physics. He is now experimenting with the use of radioactive particles as "tagged atoms" in tracing development of disease in the human body—by-product of the atomic bomb that may prove as helpful to man as the bomb was destructive. Robert Sibley, executive manager of the California Alumi association, will give a brief report on a meeting of the Emergency committee of Atomic Scientists which was called last month by Albert Einstein. The scientists are urging support of the Baruch plan for international control of atomic energy. Edward J. Power of Anaheim will be chairman of the meeting. Union Butchers At Independent Meet Wednesday Miss Edith Browne, versatile lyric soprano of this city, will be featured in a highly contrasted program at Melrose Abbey chapel, December 15, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Assembling in the Long Beach Temple, spokesmen declared that approximately 700 out of 1,200 union members called off the job are now unemployed. Thor Anderson, North Long Beach butcher, presided. They further contended that some union men had not been allowed to vote on the Monday-closing proposal, and stated their desire to mediate. The revolters began signing a petition calling on Krasnesky to convene a special union mass meeting and submit to members a written secret ballot on which they could express their desire to close all meat markets in his area on Mondays retaining the same rate of weekly pay or reject the proposal and go back to work while a new contract is being negotiated.
