Once More Warned To 'Get Rolling' Directors of the county sanitation districts, in another session last evening, made progress in finding out why they haven't made progress. They were warned again by Special Counsel Emerson J. Marks that unless the sewerage program "gets rolling soon it will not roll at all." That statement was made It Was Cool Today — After Yesterday It was cool and breezy downtown Anaheim this afternoon—provided, of course, that you were comparing this after noon's temperature with yesterday's. Actually, the mercury went to record heights for the second straight day with a reading of 82 degrees at 2 p.m. It was the hottest Jan. 25 in Anaheim history.

They were warned again by Special Counsel Emerson J. Marks that unless the sewerage program "gets rolling soon it will not roll at all." That statement was made when Mayor Allen Mandy of Santa Ana, a director of District 1, remarked that he'd like to see the project start rolling pretty soon. Marks also advised the directors last night that the "whole thing will be off" if the appellate court should enforce the limited participation plan which sets a tax-rate ceiling in District 2, 3 and 7. A test case, using District 7, will be brought in the court soon. No buyer could be found for the sewer bonds if there is a legal tax rate limit in any of the districts, Marks stated. The limited participation plan, providing for a limit of 10 cents tax rate in Districts 2 and 7 and 12 cents in District 3, was a "gentlemen's agreement" with the agricultural areas when the districts were formed. Such a tax limit, it was found, might not raise sufficient revenue to finance the program, though district officials feel that no such difficulty would be encountered. It would, however, scare bond buyers away, said Marks. If the court decision releases the districts from the limited participation tax ceiling, District 7, or any other district, could be required by the courts to raise Garden Grove Ikes Hold First Meeting With various state and county leaders of the Izaak Walton League in attendance, including John O'Kane, state conservation director and acting executive director and Clinton Flynn, secretary of the league's county council (both from Anaheim), the new Garden Grove chapter of the league held its first meeting last night at Garden Grove Grange hall. Acting-secretary E. J. Toblas, announced that the chapter is already nearing its goal of 100 members, 93 having signed for membership. A committee consisting of Chairman William Farris, Ralph Hill, C. R. Weber, Bud Hughes and La Verne Reasfsnyder, was appointed to present a slate of nominees for office at the next meeting. The charter will be kept open for the signing of charter members until after that meeting, it was announced. Time and place of the meeting have not been set. Meanwhile Donald Pannier, former president of the Anaheim chapter and one of the organizers of the new chapter, will continue to serve as temporary chairman. O'Kane addressed the group, explaining the league is not primarily a sportsmens' club but a dedi- Mistake Delays So Anaheim Elk Lloyd Verry, Anaheim Elks Exalted Ruler, and the Exalted Ruler of the San Diego Lodge got together in Orange a few weeks ago and planned a visitation of the San Diego Lodge to the Anaheim Elks to initiate Anaheim's new lodge members. Between the time they discussed the event, up to yesterday morning, there was a slip-up. The fact that there had been a misunderstanding became clear out of the chaos. The San Diego fraternal order had arranged to visit their local brothers a couple of weeks from last night. Result of the melee—Anaheim initiated its own new members. Installed last night as members of the Elks lodge were Lewis E. Diherce, H. H. Chmielewski, Richard A. Harding, Wilbur G. Herman, Paul E. Kirkpatrick, George S. Klein and Keith Mahoney. Two men were re-introduced into the club. Fred Davis of Dixon, Illinois, and Alfred A. McCauley both rejoined the Elks order last night.

Thirty per cent of the fruit that remained on the trees was so severely damaged it was difficult to salvage any packable fruit, Crooke reported. "Facing such a condition, the packing house found, it necessary to gear its operations to a salvage basis on much of the crop," the manager explained. "This was accomplished by extensive field cutting to determine the amount of frost damage in order to segregate shippable fruit from juice fruit. Samples of each delivery of fruit were taken at the packing house in order to determine how best to handle it," he said.

TOKYO, Friday Jan. 28, (AP)—United Nations naval vessels today shelled Inchon, the port for Seoul, amid mounting speculation that the Chinese reds were withdrawing from their Han River line south and southeast of the Korean capital. The Allies abandoned Inchon Jan. 4. There were no details on the bombardment of dock and harbor facilities by a U. N. naval task force. Elsewhere in the west action reports were lacking, but in central Korea a red-hunting armored patrol late Thursday reentered Hoengsong. They found the snowy town devoid of reds. There was mounting speculation that the Chinese reds had quietly pulled out on the central and western sectors. United Nations patrols elsewhere on the front encountered only a relatively few red Koreans. It was the second straight day Hoengsong was entered by a U. N. patrol. AP Correspondent Tom Stone reported the reds had fled. Hoengsong is 10 miles north of Wonju and 33 miles south of Parallel 38. There was no enemy contact Wednesday night except for a red patrol south of Han river around Seoul. de SEVERSKY Maj. de Seversky To Talk at SA Brigadier General Stanley Ridderhof, former commanding officer of the El Toro Marine base and a long-time friend of Major Alexander P.
