ANAHEIM EST. 1870 Page 7 KNIGHTS OF YORE—Time was when Anaheimers got the Hallowe’en fever and broke out regalias like those pictured above. This year the costumes are appearing slowly but surely, western in nature, with many heads at work figuring something unique for the climactic moment of the 27th 9nual Hallowe’en celebration. Above you see what can and has happened. The year, 19—and who’s to say? The participants, how many can you name? Mrs. Ford Leaves 4 Million to Edison Institute DETROIT (AP) — Mrs. Henry Ford left nearly half of an estimated $8,500,000 estate to the family-founded Edison Institute for educational purposes. Her will, filed for probate today, bequeathed the remainder to relatives and made certain cash bequests to five long-time servants of the Ford family. Mrs. Ford died Sept. 29 at the age of 84. Her automobile magnate husband, founder of the Ford Motor Co., died three years ago. Mrs. Ford willed $4,000,000 to Edison Institute, founded in 1929 by the Fords and their son, the late Edsel Ford, “to do any or all things calculated, directly or indirectly, to advance the cause of education.” The bequest is tax-free. Of the 63,260 shares of non-voting Ford stock owned by Mrs. Ford, 3000 each were left to two grandchildren, Mrs. Walter Buhl Ford II and William Clay Ford. These bequests were made to equalize gifts made some years ago by Edsel Ford to his two older sons, Henry Ford II, now president of the Ford Motor Co., and Benson Ford. The remainder of the shares, valued at $135 each, were divided among nine great-grandchildren. All shares are subject to taxation. The three grandsons were named executors of the estate. The will was filed with probate Judge James A. Sexton. Mrs. Ford owned no voting stock. Her non-voting stock, with an estimated valuation of $8,500,-000, represents less than two per cent of the total stock ownership of the Ford Motor Co. Mrs. Nettie M. Scott of Highland Park, Mich., and Mrs. Martha Bernice Pardee of (107 Champlain Drive) Syracuse, New York, identified only as relatives of Mrs. Ford, were left $5000 each. Counsel for Mrs. Ford declined to estimate the taxes on her estate. However, federal and state inheritance taxes on a $10,000,000 estate total about $6,000,000. WHO'S Your Doctor?

Although no definite decision was made other than to investigate the possibility of the program, the three members of the board indicated rather clearly how they currently stand in support of the program. Tom Henry, the only one to strongly oppose the measure, said that he summed it up as to whether or not the school board were running "the restaurant business or the education business." "There are about 700 who will want to eat," Henry said, "and I don't see how we can justify going into this cafeteria program when we will already lose $20,000 this year. It involves a capital outlay." "obviously won't be used again and it has served its purpose." On the last attempt the board set a minimum of $25,000 and received "no nibbles." Last night it again moved to advertise for bids and to accept any "realistic" offer. A minimum of $15,000—net to the school board—was set, and the deadline for bids was set for the next meeting—7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 14. Other matters discussed at last night's session included: Stabbert asked the board to consider an increase in the school tax. In several Anaheim districts, he reported, there are many children two or three years below school age, and he expected a sharp rise in school population in the next few years. Gauer reported that enrollment for elementary schools was now 1878, an increase of 100 over last and broke out regalias ely, western in nature, out of the 27th 9nual 19—and who's to say?

Tom Henry, the only one to strongly oppose the measure, said that he summed it up as to whether or not the school board were running "the restaurant business or the education business." "There are about 700 who will want to eat," Henry said, "and I don't sehow we can justify going into this cafeteria program when we will already lose $20,000 this year. It involves a capital outlay that the board is not authorized to make. The school district simply cannot stand any more expense. "We do not have the facilities to feed that many students. "We do not have the facilities for even doing a half-way job, and we shouldn't start doing it for one of the elementary schools unless we do it for all of them. In that case we would have to build and staff a new kitchen. This simply is not a portion of the required board activities. Should we undertake this, the next thing we'll have to do is clothe them." In explaining his views, Henry pointed out that he was standing fast on his opinion despite the fact that "even my wife is in favor of it." Superintendent M. A. Gauer then invited Henry to accompany him to Artesia to see the program in action, but the board member declined with, "That would be just like my looking at a new car. It's just no use looking when I can't afford it, anyhow." The other board members, both favoring the plan, were less outspoken in their support than was Henry. John Mary said that he considered this as much a part of education as the classroom, and that he was under the impression that the facilities in the Fremont school cafeteria were adequate to fulfill the plan's needs. Artesia, Gauer then pointed out, currently feeds 600 students in a cafeteria that is smaller and not as efficiently arranged as the one at Fremont. According to a preliminary survey, he said that 580 students—exclusive of Fremont—have indicated their desire to participate in the plain, but Gauer believed that the eventual total would not be that high. Mary, however, agreed with Henry that the plan would have to be applied to all of the elementary schools, not just one. He termed it, "A worth while project even if it does cost some money." H. H. Stabbert also felt that it was a part of the educational program and that it should be given a the next meeting—7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 14. Other matters discussed at last night's session included: Stabbert asked the board to consider an increase in the school tax. In several Anaheim districts, he reported, there are many children two or three years below school age, and he expected a sharp rise in school population in the next few years. Gauer reported that enrollment for elementary schools was now 1878, an increase of 100 over last year. Gauer also gave the board a brief summary of the highlights of a public schools superintendents' meeting which he attended earlier this month at San Diego. The board announced three appointments—Charles Sterba as custodian at $200 per month, Charles Born as extra janitor at $1 per hour, and Mrs. Barnes as cafeteria manager at $52 per week. Principally because of numerous requests from parents, it was decided to have a short session on Hallowe'en, closing the schools at 12:30 p.m. Prior to the meeting, the board members and Gauer recited a loyalty oath pledging allegiance to the United States and to California and denying membership in any subversive organizations. The oath, Gauer explained, was now required of all employees of the school district. Announcement The Opening of GRUNER'S 165 W. Center St. Fremont has had a lunch program since 1928," he pointed out, "and that should be experience enough that people want it. We assume that the same proportions in other schools also want it. The plan is now successfully working in Artesia, Long Beach and San Bernardino, and there is no reason why it should not work here." Gauer, taking the Franklin school as an example, estimated that the very minimum costs for initiating the program would run close to $200. Almost all of this would be spent for dishes and eating utensils. The only action taken by the board last night, however, was the commissioning of Gauer and Mrs. Eunice Barnes, who is in charge of the Fremont lunch program, to look into the possibilities of putting the program in force here. Specifically, they were to consider what equipment would be necessary and how much it would cost. They will make their recommendations to the board at a future meeting. It was also assumed that Mrs. Barnes would be placed in charge of the enlarged school lunch program should it be adopted. Instead of spending money, the board made another attempt to earn some by again deciding to attempt to dispose of the La Palma property. The board has tried unsuccessfully several times to sell the school which Stabbert said We want to welcome the people of Anaheim and vicinity to our new bakery at 165 West Center street.

Council Roundup Major actions of city council at their regular meeting last Robeson Ban Termed Regrettable BOSTON (AP) — The banning of a portrait of Paul Robeson from an exhibit of famous Negroes was "has no significance in this case whatsoever." William G. Dooley chairman of Council Roundup Major actions of city councilmen at their regular meeting last night appear elsewhere in today's newsletter. In addition, Councilmen on night: Took under consideration a retired Fire Chief R. W. Booe's recommendation that act chief Ed Stringer be made permanent chief; Held off action on granting embbling license to Earl Quinn during study by attorney Claude Men who is substituting for city coronary Preston Turner; Old Owen to contact industrialists some $7000 in arrears on chemical oxygen demand payments; Decided to determine cost of moving traffic island on Mills per the request of George Wilin; Appointed E. P. Hapgood to theanning Commission as a regular member; Decided to appoint 10 police and fire auxillaries in connection with disaster relief setup. Robeson Ban Termed Regrettable BOSTON (UP)—The banning of a portrait of Paul Robeson from an exhibit of famous Negroes was described today by the chairman of the local display committee as "regrettable and policital." Mayor John B. Hynes barred the actor-singer's portrait from being exhibited in any public building in Boston on the ground that "his philosophies are destructive to the principles of our land." "The issue of color," he added, "has no significance in this case whatsoever." William G. Dooley, chairman of the exhibit committee and director of education at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, challenged the Mayor's action. "While the committee intends to cooperate in every instance in presenting this Negro hall of fame," he said, "I think it is regrettable that politics is entering into it."
