COLONY QUIPS After a few days away from the job the step back on the treadmill seems to be unusually hard. Everybody says that a vacation is essential to a person's well-being but don't let anyone kid you about it not having to be paid for. We live within a few hundred miles of some of the most interesting country in the whole world. The Grand Canyon, Brice and Zion National Park and Boulder (or it is Hoover) Dam can make up the itinerary for one of the most enjoyable trips that can be imagined. When you add to these a few junkets off the beaten path into Indian country one really gets to see how the other half lives. We will leave the Canyon, Parks and Dam to the tourists and take a little trip into the two Hopi Indian villages that comprise the Moencopi Indian School District which is run by the U.S. Government. This school takes children from the first to the sixth grades and our party had the opportunity to go through the whole business. The first thing that leaps to your attention is the art work that these children are capable of doing. Bear in mind that the school does not teach art but only makes it possible for the children to draw in between time for their other studies. Their idea of design and color seems to be a natural instinct. The head of the school told us that the Indian children would spend all of their time drawing and coloring if the teachers would Trojans to Play Anaheim Here Monday Anaheim baseball fans got a foretaste of the hitting power and fielding quality of the new Anaheim team in the Sunset circuit Sunday when the home town boys swamped the Las Vegas club, 24 to 12, at La Palma Park. The home team registered 21 hits and every player batted as if he owned the visiting hurlers. Next scheduled game for the Anaheim club is to be played Saturday afternoon against former big-leaguer Frank Demaree's Fresno club at Amerige field in Fullerton. The Fresno club serves as a farm for the St. Louis Cardinals. Monday night will see the Anaheim club pitted against that aggregation of T.N.T., the University of Southern California Trojans, coached by the great Justin (Call Me Sam) Barry. The game will use the name of George Tattler S. F. Hilgenfeld learned a man using the name of Arden A Lane had made arrangements a Fullerton mortuary for a funeral for his mother-in-law and has cashed a check for $35. He did better in Pomona where he cash-ed a check for $50 on a similar story, and again in Ontario and twice in Taft. The checks cashed in Pomona and Ontario were signed with the name Ford Alexander. The first thing that leaps to your attention is the art work that these children are capable of doing. Bear in mind that the school does not teach art but only makes it possible for the children to draw in between time for their other studies. Their idea of design and color seems to be a natural instinct. The head of the school told us that the Indian children would spend all of their time drawing and coloring if the teachers would permit them to but they are only allowed to draw in certain periods. The parents send them to school to learn the same thing that white children are taught in the same grade in our regular schools. Most of the children come to the first grade with only a word or two of English but they soon pick up enough to get along with the rest of the class. It is a rule of the school that English must be spoken at all times while in the class room. The students take particular pride in their command of the language and try to make a good impression on all visitors. As our party was getting ready to leave two or three of the students approached the superintendent saying they would like to sing for us. We realized this was special favor not shown to all visitors and gladly accepted. Inside we found the whole school congregated in one room ready to perform. One of the native teachers played the piano and we had a good demonstration of what an Indian school could do for their pupils. As a climax to this songfest a group of third grade girls sang three of their native tribal songs in the Hopi language. The most interesting was one they were supposed to sing when the first drops of rain were falling after the grown-ups had started it by their dance. These little girls really put their hearts into this one, swaying around with their hands outstretched imploring the rain God to give. The rain God would surely be an old meanie if he didn’t open up the flood gates to that kind of an invitation. The children attending this school come from two Hopi villages, one on top of a bluff where the school stands and the other a quarter of a mile away at the foot of the bluff. This last settlement is the old town and is under the control of a Chief. The houses are not laid out with any idea of order but were put up where the owner’s fancy dictated. Next scheduled game for the Anaheim club is to be played Saturday afternoon against former big-leaguer Frank Demaree’s Fresno club at Amerige field in Fullerton. The Fresno club serves as a farm for the St. Louis Cardinals. Monday night will see the Anaheim club pitted against that aggregation of T.N.T., the University of Southern California Trojans, coached by the great Justin (Call Me Sam) Barry. The game will start at 8:15 at La Palma park. So far this year the Trojans have defeated the Portland Beavers twice, the Cleveland Indians with their ace pitcher, Steve Gromek, on the mound, and UCLA and Stanford twice each. The Monday night game against the collegians will be the last opportunity to see the Anaheim club in action here until they appear in the opening game on the home grounds Friday, April 25, at 8:15 p.m. Personnel of the Anaheim club was pretty definitely determined this week for the coming season of 140 games. The club seems to have a highly potent back-stopping department manned by Jerry Gardner and Tommy Kincannon. Infield flopers will include Debois at first, Gene Gaviglio of San Francisco at second, Fullerton's own Bud Dawson at short and Ray McNulty of Roseville at the hot corner. Manager Jack Rothrock is still hanging onto seven outfielders including two newcomers, Gal Seifert of Oakland and Harvey Doty of Sacramento. Both were optioned to Anaheim by the Sacramento club. Others are former major-leagues Lee Stine, Bill Wilson, a long-legged antelope who looks maybe like another Joe Dimaggio, Bob Mann, Nick Palica and Joe Davidson. The Sunset League, under the presidency of Bill Schroeder, is offering a huge trophy to the city (Continued on Page 3) 4-H Clubbers to Hold Fair May 17 in Orange Members of Orange county 4-H clubs have begun grooming their poultry and livestock, sizing up their garden truck, surveying their efforts at home decoration, garment making and food preserving in preparation for the annual 4-H club fair which will be held this year on Saturday, May 17. Future Farmers To Eye Stock At Chino Saturday Five advanced students in animal husbandry and five beginners will accompany J. H. Wilmore and Wesley E. Mole, agricultural instructors at Anaheim Union high school, to Chino Saturday to participate in a Future Farmers of America field day to be held at the Charles W. Robinson ranch under the sponsorship of the Live-stock Loan department of the Bank of America. Three of the ten will be chosen as a stock judging team to represent the school. The rest will judge individually. Among the cattle to be judged will be four Herefords from the ranch of Irene Rich, of screen and radio. Judging of three classes of beef cattle, two of swine, two of dairy cattle, and one of sheep will be conducted by members of high school teams, both as teams and as individuals, representing schools in Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. The high-point team will be awarded a trophy by F. F. Palmerlee, vice president of the Livestock Loan Department of Bank of America, and Miss Rich, who will also present 30 additional awards for team and individual judging. B. R. Denbigh, regional supervisor, agricultural education, and Charles Perrin, agricultural instructor, Chaffey Union high school, Ontario, will be in charge of judging. Following a barbecue, to which 200 guests have been invited besides the 200 Future Farmers of America members and their instructors, Earl Ryan, superintendent and George W. Barnett... The children attending this school come from two Hopi villages, one on top of a bluff where the school stands and the other a quarter of a mile away at the foot of the bluff. This last settlement is the old town and is under the control of a Chief. The houses are not laid out with any idea of order but were put up where the owner's fancy dictated. The roads, if they can be called such, wind around where the hogans, or houses, happen to be spaced far enough apart to allow for the operation of a car or horse and wagon. Life here in this old town is very primitive and the Chief is the ruler. The village on top of the bluff is laid out in blocks and the houses are quite presentable for an Indian village on the desert. Buildings are of stone with wood sills and glass windows and are built in a uniform row. The people here elect a council to govern and seem to be more progressive. Under the Indian law a village may adopt one of these forms of government by its own choice. The funny thing about these two is that having the same school for their children, the same valley and water shed for their farming, the same government representative, the same tribe and language, they still will have nothing to do with each other. The children mix in the school and after the first six grades they get at home, if they go back to their village, then they act the same as their parents. Even after years at institutions, such as Riverside's Sherman Institute, the Indian soon slips back into the ways of his forefathers. We found no explanation except that their civilization is a very old one probably antedating the white man. We were shown ruins on this very school grounds which experts held, judging by the pottery found, to be over 4-H Clubbers to Hold Fair May 17 in Orange Members of Orange county 4-H clubs have begun grooming their poultry and livestock, sizing up their garden truck, surveying their efforts at home decoration, garment making and food preserving in preparation for the annual 4-H club fair which will be held this year on Saturday, May 17, on the grounds of the Orange County Farm Bureau on South Main street, Orange. The affair will be given under the sponsorship of the Junior Farm Bureau of the county of which A. O. Mittman of Buena Park is chairman. In addition to the excitement of the judging of cows, calves, chickens, rabbits, sheep, hogs, canned fruit and vegetables and hand made dresses, there will be a whole program of entertainment, to say nothing of hot-dog, popcorn and other refreshment stands. 60 Proposed Laws Studied By FB Board More than sixty bills before the California Legislature of particular interest to agriculture were reviewed by Secretary Cecil Marks at the April meeting of the directors of the Orange County Farm Bureau. A dozen were gone into detail but as to the remainder the directors followed the analysis by the Farm Bureau staff. Aside from many provisions in the Collier highway bill, the directors showed chief interest in the "hot cargo" and secondary boycott legislation. twelve hundred years old. Some of the designs on this pottery had the same appearance as some of the new art work done by the present day Hopi now going to a United States Government school. Will Look For Decline-Proof Avocado Stock Three Orange county horticulturists and a botanist from the University of California will leave for southern Mexico next week in search for better avocado root stock strains. The party includes H. B. Griswold, La Habra, president of the California Avocado Society; C. S. Crawford, Santa Ana, member of the avocado variety committee, and Harold E. Wahlberg, Orange County Farm Advisor, and Dr. C. A. Schroeder, Division of Subtropical Horticulture, U.C.L.A. In a previous trip to Mexico and Guatemala, Griswold and Crawford learned of the locations of forests where primitive avocado seedlings are growing under a wide range of soil and natural conditions. The party leaving by plane next week plan to explore these native avocado forest with the hope of finding a strain that may be superior to the root stock sources that are now used by avocado industry. Such a strain, it is pointed out, must be vigorous and resistant to root decline and the soil fungus usually associated with the disease. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1947 Council Defers Action on Plea For Bus Permit An application for a permit to establish a local motor coach passenger service in Anaheim was heard by the city council Tuesday night and, at the request of the Chamber of Commerce, deferred action while the chamber's transportation committee studies the proposed plan of operation, fare schedule and other points outlined in the proposal. The application was made by J. H. Svogar, a veteran of World War II, who now operates a line in Santa Ana. In his application he said he would begin service with three modern buses, two of which would be in operation at all times. His proposed fare schedule provides for single fare of 10 cents anywhere on the bus route, three tokens for 25 cents and 30 day passes for $1. In a session that lasted far into the night the council also Mid-June Dates Set for AUHS Commencement Dates for the baccalaureate sermon and the graduation exercises of the class of 1947 of Anaheim Union high school were announced this week by Principal Paul H. Demaree. The baccalaureate services will be held June 15, in the high school auditorium. For the graduation exercises the auditorium is too small and, as has been the custom for several years, they will be held in the City Park. Speakers for the two occasions have not yet been announced.

In a session that lasted far into the night the council also— Received a protest signed by 42 neighboring residents or property owners against granting application for a land use variance by Peter Lehr to operate a public scales, construct a gasoline storage tank and operate a service station at the intersection of Center street and Placentia avenue. Entered into a contract with Harry C. Liddel and Henry C. Cohn for the use of La Palma park during the 1947 baseball season by the Anaheim team in the Sunset league. Considered but failed to act upon the county's proposal that Anaheim levy a tax of 5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation on property within the city to go into a mosquito abatement program fund. Received the acceptance of R. R. Roehm of his appointment to a four year term as a member of the city planning commission. Approved the appointment by the chief of police of Mark R. Fisher as a patrolman. Fisher is a World War II veteran and for the past year has been working in the city garage. Accepted the offer of Mr. and Mrs. Placidio Veyna to sell the city a parcel of land 21.75 by 140 feet for $1, the parcel to be used for widening East Water street. Agreed with junior and senior shooting clubs to set up a rifle and pistol range at the old settling basin northeast of the northern industrial district. Protested the granting by the county board of supervisors of a permit for the construction by the Petrol Corporation of Los Angeles of a bulk petroleum storage plant at Ball Road and Los Angeles street, on the ground that neither the city nor interested property owners were not notified. The county planning commission was going to consider such an application and on the further ground that such a development at that location did not accord speakers for the two occasions have not yet been announced. Response To Progress Week Plans Hearty About half the available tickets have been sold for the annual dinner of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce to be held at the Elks club the evening of April 21. The maximum seating capacity of the banquet room is 300, which means that only 150 of the chamber's 360 members and their wives can be accommodated. Tickets will be reserved for members until Saturday when they will go on sale to the public—if any are left. The dinner will be a strictly social event with an entertainment program Leavitt Ford, chairman of the ticket committee, calls "sensational." It will include "top Hollywood talent." The dinner is the opening event in Anaheim's Civic Progress week sponsored by the chamber, the City Planning Commission and affiliated organizations. Prospects for the panel discussion of community design and planning this week aroused E. W. Moller, chamber secretary, to enthusiasm. He said the response has been better than he had hoped for and promised to be the biggest thing the chamber so far has attempted. The discussion is expected to broaden the scope of the city's plans for development, sum up accomplishments to date and possibly show the way to other communities. Indications this week were that at least 150 chamber of commerce officials and members of planning commissions would attend these panel discussions. As a part of the programs for Wednesday and Thursday, industrial establishments in Anaheim will hold open house and plan, at designated hours, to conduct tours through their plants. There were further developments in plans for Friday which is largely dedicated to recreation. Glenn Hipes, chairman of the newly formed sub-committee of recreation in the Anaheim chamber, will be in general charge, and there will be discussion of the development of a recreational master plan for Anaheim. The program for the day will culminate chairman of the committee sent outlines of the campato the center. Also they are gathering data among their members present to be used. J. J.

annual Farm Bureau picnic. Fred Schmidt of Orange has been made chairman of a picnic committee which is expected soon to announce date, place and other details. The annual picnic was discontinued by The Farm Bureau at beginning of war emergency. Two Wildcats To Try for Oil on Extensive Leases Two efforts to prove wholly new oil territory in Placentia district were under way this week. On the Edward H. Depweg ranch at the corner of Bradford avenue and Madison street Tidewater-Associated Oil company was drilling at depth below 3500 feet. This venture is at least a mile from near well in fields north east of Placentia. On old Crowther ranch on Placentia avenue Royalty Service company this week erected a 132-foot steel derrick for drilling first well in large block of territory under lease between Anaheim and Placentia. There are hundreds of acres of orange groves included in two leases. The derrick for this first try to discover an altogether new oil field is located 1160 feet north of Orangethorpe avenue and 360 feet west of Placentia avenue. The property now is owned by Brad Hellis and Julius Bradford. Campaign for Extended Telephone Service Begun By Farm Bureau The opening gun in a new campaign of the Orange County Farm Bureau for "extended telephone service" in Orange county was held at the April meeting of the Anaheim Farm Center which was on Tuesday night at the Anaheim Union high school cafeteria. George Vandenburg, the Anaheim center's representative on the Farm Bureau public utilities committee, and Mrs. L. E. Coleman, of the Berrydale district, chairman of the committee, predeed outlines of the campaign the center. Also they began gathering data among the 200 members present to be used by W. Deuel, head of the publicities department of the California Farm Bureau Federation, a hearing set tentatively for July 12, before the State Publicities commission in Los Angeles. Announced purpose of this spring is to receive protests to telephone rate increases for which the type of extended service now available in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The Orange County Farm Bureau is responsible for the statement that the increased rental and toll charges applied for by the telephone company will cost California telephone users $20,500. Of more immediate concern in Orange county is the fact that if the application of the telephone company is granted, the minimum charge for toll calls will be 10 cents instead of the present minimum of 5 cents. While no one in authority has said so yet, the Farm Bureau seemed reconciled to some telephone rate increases, but it seemed evident it was going to press vigorously for extended service. An exact definition of extended telephone service is rather a technical affair, but it means in effect that a subscriber served by one day Min. Max. Valencia Bloom In District Varies Widely No official appraisal of this spring's valencia bloom was available this week, but to an unofficial observer it looked as if next year's valencia crop would make a decidedly spotted pattern. In the few groves in which there was a heavy bloom the trees did not seem in top form. In many groves there was a moderately heavy bloom which thinned out, sometimes to zero, on the north side of the trees. But there were many groves in which few blooms appeared even on the sunny south side of the trees. This condition did not seem to follow any pattern with relation to type of soil or to weather conditions. Along roads through the citrus districts of the county one could find groves in full bloom on one side of the highway and on the other trees showing almost no Phone Strike affects Only Roll Calls Here A resident of this community isn't read the newspapers this week, and didn't try to telephone other communities, and didn't open by the telephone office on Mon street, he might have relied in complete ignorance that he is a nation-wide telephone service. Thanks to the fact that the Anaheim telephone exchange is commonly mechanized, there was noruption whatever in local phone service. Some attempts to call outside has succeeded and some didn't. Was explained at the telephone dee that calls to outside points will be completed if the trunk were not occupied and if the motor at the other end of the could receive them. The Anaheim exchange was restarting to put through all emergency calls. Calls to physicians, hospitals, ambulance services, police and sheriffs offices fire departments were in the emergency category. If the long distance calls could not be handled by the few workers on duty, they in supervisory situations, situation was explained. In exchanges a recorded voice may announced a strike was on only emergency calls could out through, but in the Anaheim exchange it was a human which gave the informa- Robert J.

There appeared to be enough fruit left in Florida to affect the market adversely and there are enough California navels to last through April, in the opinion of Anaheim shippers. The prospect of moving this year's valencia crop seemed so distant, in fact, that no Anaheim packing plant this week had run any tests to determine the sugar content of the fruit. Fishermen Find Trout Small on Season's Opening About half the trouters who reported their luck over the weekend opening of the season said they caught the new basket limit of 15 fish, but that the fish were small. Mostly they were seven and eight inchers, indicating they had been planted this spring. The scarcity of larger fish was attributed to low water last summer. Even lower water is expected this summer unless there is a New Furniture Factory Opens Up in Placentia Toys made of hard maple and hardwood kitchen equipment and store fixtures will be turned out by a new furniture factory in Placentia. Modern machinery has been installed in the building at 206 South Bradford avenue. The firm operates under the name of Moore, Montgomery & Co. During the war it operated in Hollywood. Its production schedule calls for the manufacture of about ten items and three now are on the production line. The company hopes to be in full production by midsummer. 94-Year-Old To Be Queen of Whittier Jubilee Preparing for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of its founding, as a Quaker Colony, May 11, 1887. Whittier has passed over bathing beauty candidates and selected for Queen of the week-long event Mrs. Sarah Baldwin, her election being made on her ninety-fourth birthday, March 21. She will take part in the Founders Day picnic May 10, Mothers Day, May 11, be crowned at a community sing May 13, visit day and night attractions: the flower show, art exhibit, community play, and with her court ride in a special float in the grand parade Saturday afternoon, May 17.
