Second Section ANAH VOLUME LXXIX FIVE CENTS ANAHEIM, Orange County V John Odle Faces Murder Charge in Santa Ana Still dazed and unbelieving, John Odle, 58-year-old Santa Ana glass blower, faced a murder charge in county jail today, following the sudden frenzy in which he srayed bullets into his divorced wife, Arville, in a downtown stationer's store at Santa Ana Saturday afternoon. As Coroner Earl R. Abbey prepared to conduct an inquiry, after an autopsy showed that Mr. Odle, also 58, was shot three times, in the head, heart and abdomen, Santa Ana police reported that Odle had made a full confession. He had dashed into police headquarters after the shooting and handed his gun to Desk Sgt. "Brick" Grouard, crying out that he had shot his wife, and directing where she would be found. Misses Shot A double killing was averted only because Odle missed a shot section of Odle's plea for reconciliation. Married on Easter Sunday three years ago, the couple separated about two months ago, and two weeks ago Mrs. Odle obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce. She had been employed at the stationery store for about a year and a half. Odle came to see her Saturday, and during nearly an hour's conference in a stockroom at the rear quest, after an autopsy showed that Mr. Odle, also 58, was shot three times in the head, heart and abdomen, Santa Ana police reported that Odle had made a full confession. He had dashed into police headquarters after the shooting and handed his gun to Desk Sgt. "Brick" Grouard, crying out that he had shot his wife, and directing where she would be found. Misses Shot A double killing was averted only because Odle missed a shot at Louis Davis, proprietor of the store at 104 East Fourth street, heart of the Santa Ana business district. The killing of Mrs. Odle was said to have resulted from her rejection of Odle's plea for reconciliation. Married on Easter Sunday three years ago, the couple separated about two months ago, and two weeks ago Mrs. Odle obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce. She had been employed at the stationery store for about a year and a half.

An audience of more than 600, made up of Kwikset employees and their families, heard pension consultant Joseph Schwartz explain the plan which bears the title "The Kwikset-Employee Pension Trust." Schwartz characterized the plan as "one the socialists won't like," explaining that though non-contributory, it depends on conscientious effort by employees for success. Money for pensions, he said, comes entirely out of company profits, and company profits depend entirely upon employee production. In such manner, Schwartz pointed out, the Kwikset plan is lifted out of the "something for nothing" class. A certificate of appreciation from the American Red Cross was presented to Kwikset by Joe R. Thompson, recruitment chairman of the local chapter for blood given by the employees to the mobile blood bank when it visited the plant last February. Thompson in presenting the certificate, at the start of the evening's program, said that Kwikset had exceeded the national average on two counts. "First the national average for blood contributed by women is less than 20%—37% of Kwikset women gave and secondly the national industrial average is about 5%—participation at Kiwkset was above 30%.

Marrying Parson one of the numerous highlights the big two hour show well With the approach of the valencia season citizens of Anaheim and Orange County get ready for the most important, from a dollar stand-point, harvest of the year. Prorate for Southern California valencias will be round 50 cars and most of the fruit in our immediate area will up to state requirements. While most of our packing houses are ready for the season, many of them are wondering just how much fruit they will be able to pack and ship. This uncertainty is brought about by two factors. (1) condition of the fruit after the freeze, and (2) how much fruit will the concentrating and canning plants demand. This second factor will, or should be, determined by the dollar return to the grower. As all readers of the Gazette well know this paper best authorities that there is not enough capacity in Florida to produce sufficient frozen citrus fruit concentrates with a retail price of not more than 29 cents for a six ounce can. Is it any wonder that the fresh fruit interests are wondering how much fruit they will pack and ship this year?
