In fact the precipitation has been of such small quantity as to alarm certain people who have lived in this section for a great length of time. Men who till the soil, and look to nature to supply necessary moisture for their cereal crops are perplexed about the shortage of rain. The grain and pasturage men are hard hit, to say the least. Many of them are beginning to think that farming is a game of chance. The man who owns 50 acres of land and who can provide water by means of a pumping plant for his acreage, is in a position to withstand this mysterious drought, but even so, his endeavors to raise the water will be difficult by the fact of the uncertainty of nature to send the usual rainfall to replenish the underground supply. This is not mentioned to become in any way pessimistic, but to impress upon the man who sows to be better prepared to fight his battle, and not depend too much upon nature's whims. People have been too confident in their expectations of plenty of moisture from above. its old place in the pavement at the Center and Los Angeles street intersection. The pole which for many years marked the central point of the city and had become a time-honored landmark, was surreptitiously removed some weeks ago. It was resurrected by the new city government and restored to the spot where it has so long belonged, in the heart of the city. It is surmounted by a golden eagle, emblem of the United States and always associated with the flag. It had become an institution of the town. Every morning at sunrise the flag was run up and every evening at sunset it was taken down. Scores of people on the street at 7 o'clock Friday morning doffed their hats as the Star Spangled Banner was run up to the top of the standard. The Anaheim Kiwanis club was host to a number of boys from the high school. After luncheon at the Elks clubhouse, Homer Ames suggested that a vote of appreciation be tendered the city council because of the restoration of the city flagpole. Three of the boys, Allen Goddard, Edwin Beebe and Francis Bode gave short talks. The Republican study club will meet at the home of Mrs. Henry Adams, 407 North Los Angeles street, Friday morning at 9 o'clock. A large attendance is desired. The Five Hundred club was entertained Monday evening by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton. In the games Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H.Mann won high score, with Mr. and Mrs. Quarton, second.

At no o’clock the hall was filled. File Major Dlss had charge of mysterious drouth, but even so, his endeavors to raise the water will be difficult by the fact of the uncertainty of nature to send the usual rainfall to replenish the underground supply. This is not mentioned to become in any way pessimistic, but to impress upon the man who sows to be better prepared to fight his battle, and not depend too much upon nature’s whims. People have been too confident in their expectations of plenty of moisture from above. Means must be provided to store up the water that runs to waste and this cannot be better done than building check dams in the Santa Ana river. Locally, the people of Anaheim should provide more water for domestic use, as the increasing population will demand an additional supply. The city should at once lay plans to build another plant east of town to provide water for the future, thereby gaining the natural gravity. A grand idea would be to secure a site for a reservoir up in the Olive hills. This may seem like a dream, but it would not be amiss for our citizens to think seriously along this line to insure a safe supply of the life giving fluid, for the day is not distant when water will be king. Old Glory again flutters from the apex of the municipal pole in Assemblyman Hartranft’s bill increasing salaries of county officials and allowing more deputies is now a law and will take effect in 90 days. Salary increases range from $300 to $800 a year and 11 new deputies are allowed. Crippled Children No where in the country is a greater attempt being made to stamp out the tragic effects of crippling diseases among children than in California. Through the unceasing efforts of the California Society for Crippled Children and its affiliated chapters thousands are receiving necessary care daily. Right in this community, a group of volunteer workers have banded together to aid in rehabilitating handicapped youngsters. "Although this organization, the Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, is relatively new, it plans to offer services to all crippled youth in the Payload Leaders Cost Less To Operate Per Ton Per Mile!

Hasenjaeger, president. Unlike other organizations, the Crippled Children's Society serves youngsters with all types of handicaps. A child who is blind or partially so, hard of hearing, suffering from an acute organic illness, epilepsy, polio, cerebral palsy, a speech defect or any other handicap will receive care whenever possible. Rehabilitation for some may be a long, arduous task with special aid needed from doctors, therapists and special teachers. For others it may be a relatively simple adjustment which the parent can supervise. Some children will never grow-up to live "like other kids," but at least every effort possible can be made to see that they are helped to attain their maximum physical and mental development. Special treatment centers, nurseries, curative and sheltered workshops, resident and day summer camps are all being expanded throughout the state in an effort to put new hope and happiness into discouraged hearts, to put life and usefulness into motionless limbs. The part the general public plays in the rehabilitation of these handicapped children is paramount. By contributing funds during the annual Easter Seal campaign, by helping the Society all year round in locating youngsters who need care and by knowing the complexities of the entire problem, each individual in the community can be of positive assistance. Through the combined efforts of the societies last year alone more than 12,000 young people in California received care.
