Anaheim Appliance Store Opens Thursday; Formerly Reinhardt’s Gazette ‘Boy’ Wins Optimist Speech Contest (Continued from page 1) Garshwiler, vice-president of the Anaheim Optimists. Legg's winning speech was entitled "Today's Need for Optimism." The speech stressed the need for a proper approach to contemporary national and international problems, explaining that this approach should consist primarily of a firm belief that the problems as they exist are not unsolvable. On March 30 of this year, the same speech won Legg first place in local Optimist-sponsored competition and the opportunity to represent Anaheim at Pomona. According to Garshwiler, the Optimists, in sponsoring oratorical activities, do so in the belief that these activities promote active interest in consideration and presentation of public problems and hence contribute directly to better citizenship. Legg states that he has received the bulk of his public speaking the bulk of his public speaking school where he studies public speaking under Miss Louise Hitt. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald E. Legg, 824 North Sabina street. Anaheim Optimists who accompanied Legg to Pomona were Tom Yellis, president; L. M. Lichtenwalter, chairman of the oratorical contest committee; Dr. C. O. Patterson; and Garshwiler. Judges for the contest were professor H. H. Palmer of San Bernardo Highlight of the three-day opening will come Saturday, May 13 with the award of a new O'Keefe and Merritt range to some opening day participant.
