BROWNING CHAPEL LONDON (AP) — Poetry lovers now can go to church amid relics of Robert Browning. A Browning chapel, furnished with his study tables as an altar, his chair, and other items from the Venetian home where he died, has just been dedicated at St., Marylebone parish church. The church parish includes Wimpole Street, where Browning lived and from where he courted Elizabeth Barrett. The building of the chapel was supported by John Merrifield. Convict-Composer Gets Pardon from Tennessee Pen NASHVILLE (AP) — A lifetime in prison no longer faces composer Frank M. Grandstaff. He will march through the gate to freedom today. Gov. Gordon Browning signed his pardon yesterday and said he is convinced Grandstaff "has repented and is determined to walk a path of rectitude." The last of 20 offenses on his record—theft of a $25 radio in Memphis in 1940—caused Grandstaff to be committed to state prison here for the rest of his natural life as an habitual criminal. In the dreary years that followed, his native talent came forth. Tapping out the rhythm on the walls of his cell, he composed the 70-page "Big Spring Cantata." It was inspired by a book on the Texas town by druggist Earl Philips. On request of the governor of Texas, Browning last year permitted Grandstaff to attend the Big Spring centennial. Thousands there heard his music. "He made a good impression on the people of Texas," Browning's pardon announcement said. "Many connected with that celebration have importuned me to give him another chance." Browning reserved the right, however, to imprison Grandstaff again unless he conducts himself as a law abiding citizen. Mrs. C. H. Williams, 402 Hawthorne Street, Abbeville, Louisiana, says if folks would smile and forget their worries they'd all feel lots better and make other folks feel better, too. Mrs. Williams says she has lots to smile about... thanks to HADACOL. Mrs. Williams found that by taking HADACOL she helped to overcome a deficiency of Vitamins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron, which HADACOL contains. Here is Mrs. Williams' own statement: "I guess it was over a year ago when I really started to feel mighty bad. When I say I was feeling bad I'm not telling a story—I just didn't have one bit of energy. I was tired all the time. I had to do my housework in spells... rest a while and then work a bit. I couldn't eat a full meal either—I guess I didn't eat enough to keep a bird alive. There was many a night I didn't get but a few hours' sleep. Imagine going to bed and then rolling and tossing most of the night. So many of my friends had been praising HADACOL that I finally decided to try HADACOL. After three bottles of HADACOL I could tell a definite improvement... now, after taking HADACOL for over a year, I feel just wonderful. I am not tired or restless during the day; I can do all my housework and still have energy to spare. Sleep—why, I sleep like a top. Just as soon as my head hits the pillow I doze off. And the most wonderful thing is that I can actually eat the way a person should eat—and I really do enjoy my food. HADACOL is absolutely wonderful. There is nothing now can go to church amid relics of Robert Browning. A Browning chapel, furnished with his study tables as an altar, his chair, and other items from the Venetian home where he died, has just been dedicated at St., Marylebone parish church. The church parish includes Wimpole Street, where Browning lived and from where he courted Elizabeth Barrett. The building of the chapel was supported by John Masefield, Britain's poet laureate, the Poetry Society of Great Britain, and 10 Browning societies in the United States.

SINGER SEWING CENTER 170 West Center Street Anaheim 4619 Instated Grandstaff's parole and will continue it for a year. A Michigan hold order faced the 49-year-old convict-composer. It was on a 1935 warrant charging parole violation on a sentence for breaking and entering. So Grandstaff will be free. The first thing he'll do, he says, is go to the Cathedral of the Incarnation here "and drop down on my knees in prayer. Then I'll go see the girl I should have married 30 years ago. Then I'll go see my mother again." The girl is attractive, blue-eyed, brown-haired, 47-year-old Mrs. Mildred McConkey. In Fort Wayne, Ind., she said, "I have all the faith in the world in Frank and will keep working until he is given a chance." She said they would set a date for their marriage as soon as possible. Mrs. McConkey lives alone. A son is in the navy; she has a married daughter and two children. She and Grandstaff sweethearts in Decatur, In years ago, she said, but he seen him for 16 years unvisited the prison here last mer. Grandstaff hopes to go to wood for some work on a in his life, "Crossroads." If you drive! Don't drink! (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) The Orange County ...and its Solution The Orange county water problem begins with an indisputable fact — we must have water for life, either human or plant. Water is even more important than food. In fact, we must have water before we can have food. In Orange county, where we once said proudly that water is king, we now are forced to say grimly that water is life. We do not have enough water to supply all the needs of our present 214,000 population. Our water supply is running behind our use of it, at a rate fairly estimated by engineers as 24,000 acre feet a year. Water is even more important than food. In fact, we must have water before we can have food. In Orange county, where we once said proudly that water is king, we now are forced to say grimly that water is life. We do not have enough water to supply all the needs of our present 214,000 population. Our water supply is running behind our use of it, at a rate fairly estimated by engineers as 24,000 acre feet a year. Our underground water levels already have dropped so far below sea level that salt water from the ocean has penetrated two miles inland, contaminating wells over an area of five square miles near Talbert, and is advancing at a rate of 700 to 1000 feet a year. As we move toward the million population forecast here, we move more quickly toward disaster. It is impossible not to recognize that complete ruin of the county and every dollar invested in it, lies surely ahead. In simple language, these are the blunt, frightening facts of Orange county's water problem. The Solution— Fortunately, this problem has a solution. We can get the water we need. All the water we will ever need. We can get it from the Colorado river, through the Metropolitan Water District (MWD), both treated water for domestic use and untreated water for agriculture. We can get water in quantities that will fill our underground reservoir and raise our water levels to five feet above sea level, so it can push the salt water front back to the sea. Therefore, we will get this water—because we MUST get it. The Cost— What will it cost? The $13,000,000 cost of the MWD feeder lines to this county will not cost us anything directly. MWD pays for that. Our membership in MWD, including our share of back taxes and interest, payable over a 30-year period, and our participation in MWD operating costs, will amount to a tax of about 60 cents per $100 of assessed property valuation, at the start. This rate would decrease as property valuations increase. To illustrate, MWD operating rate was once 50 cents, now is down to 31 cents. In addition to the rate, we would pay $20 per acre foot for treated water for domestic use, and $10 per acre foot for untreated water for irrigation, which would have and equal priority right with domestic water.

In addition to the rate, we would pay $20 per acre foot for treated water for domestic use, and $10 per acre foot for untreated water for irrigation, which would have and equal priority right with domestic water. In addition, the present Orange County Water District, which has been buying surplus water from MWD at $15 per acre foot, would be privileged to buy it for $10 per acre foot, thus saving a third of the cost, which has been $453,750 for 30,250 acre feet the past two years. True, that cost is greater in many cases than the present cost of pumping water from our underground supply, which will not be here very long, unless replenished. But thoughtful people are comparing the cost of Colorado river water with what it is worth to Orange county. Or they are comparing the cost of getting this water with the cost of not having it. Comparisons like that make the Colorado river water appear very cheap indeed. We pay a tax of perhaps $3.50 per $100 valuation for our schools. But what use would the schools be if they stood empty of children, because there was no fresh water to support life in the community?

By voting on January 5 to form the Orange County Municipal Water District, which would be the first step. The District then would elect directors, who would submit to the voters the proposal of annexation to MWD. Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea; also Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and the coastal strip between them, including Costa Mesa, already are members of MWD. The Orange County Municipal Water District would include six more cities: Orange, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, La Habra, Placentia and Tustin, and all the remaining unincorporated area of the county except the southerly end and the mountainous eastern side. All Orange county territory in MWD then would own 8.48 per cent of all MWD water rights, or about 102,200 acre feet of water a year, to replenish our natural water supply of about 150,000 acre feet a year.

That would stop the present draft of 24,000 acre feet a year and provide for all future growth. There, then, is the water problem and its solution. We MUST have more water. We can get all the water we will ever need from the Colorado river. VOTE “YES” JAN. 5 To Form the Orange County Municipal Water District City MWD Committee JOHN A.
