ANAHEIM NEEDS — An adequate interurban transportation system to connect it with its environs. AROUND TOWN—Don Maxson, the Bradford Brothers' plant engineer, says Uncle Sam doesn't want him any more. His uniform doesn't fit. It must have shrunk... But, maybe, like Willie Klapper, the Dutch baker, he's added a pound or two since leaving the chow line and planting his feet under his own table... The master mechanic, Bud Tyerman, is too busy to play ball with Bob Watson because he's become an expert in his sideline—baby sitting... Eddie Ochoa, on the other hand; is a chap who'll play ball anytime—even during the noon hour... One of the Fisher brothers, Edgar, marched down the center aisle to that old familiar tune...

Nell Stanley, of the Gazette, tells us that Mason Yould, former Anaheim editor, is the wheel on a county seat weekly ... And Paul Visman, the former newspaperman, is a prison guard ... George Mene gave up baseball to become a plant engineer. He's helping to make life more livable by building comfortable HUCK, HE JES' FISHES—Douglas Hively, Orange, winner of the ton Huck Finn Day program at Irvine Park, Saturday, finds fishing while Peter Crecion, Tustin, Tom Sawyer winner seems to prefer Park, who was selected as the best candidate for Becky Thatcher. 3000 Youngsters Jam Irvin Park for Ike Huck Finn Day Irvine Park Lake hasn't seen such a horde of kids many a year.
