Court Convicts Shoplifting Trio Mrs. Ross Lee Tillery, Mrs. Ethel Fels and Victor Lee Kellis were convicted by a jury in Superior court, Santa Ana, late yesterday on charges of burglary and grand theft in connection with the theft of four suits of clothing from the Swanberger Mens store in Anaheim last Dec. 12. The jury deliberated 58 minutes in reaching its verdict which rejected the defense contention that the two women were guilty only of petty theft and that Kellis was completely innocent. The defense theory was that the two women had each taken two suits of clothing upon impulse without a prearranged plan so that the thefts were independent of each other and would amount legally to petty theft.

Starting with five members April 12, 1914, the desert colony grew to 900 in 1917 when lack of capital forced the colony to disband. OBSERVATION—Just the other night Carl (Pony) Swenson wrote something in his column in the Fullerton paper that might be of interest to Anaheimers, so we take liberty to reprint his remarks.

MALAYA STEPS UP JAPANESE IMPORTS KUALA LUMPUR OP—Importers in the Federation of Malaya are doing a rushing business with Japanese firms.

TOP SECRET—A top drawer secret around the Anaheim city hall is what it's costing the taxpayers over there to fight the losing battle for the Highway 101 - Orangethorpe shoestring strip. The lid almost blew off the city hall when an Anaheim newspaper reprinted an item from this column recently, stating that the strip battle was costing the taxpayers aplenty. Well, how much HAS it cost Anahelm to get slapped down in court three times (And now they're up to bat for their fourth strike.)? A source very close—to the throne in Anahelm says that so far has Anahelm says that so far Anahelm has shelled out MORE than $6000. That's what Pony said. The Gazetteer heartily endorses Max Besler's scheme whereby the planning boards of Anaheim, Fullerton and Orange county would sit down and work out an adequate solution to the whole thing. VIGNETTE—There are a lot of kids in Anaheim who ride bicycles. Most of them are careful and cautious—others should be cautioned to be more careful. Just the other afternoon a prominent Anaheimer was going to the post office with a fist-full of letters... And before he knew it he was sprawled on the sidewalk—knocked down by a lad peddling a bike... The prominent Anaheimer said things that wouldn't have been nice if a less prominent person had said them... The lad just looked at him apologetically. There wasn't anything he could do—the damage had been done. The man picked up his letters and went into the post office, while the kid peddled his bicycle down the street. MALAYA STEPS UP JAPANESE IMPORTS KUALA LUMPUR (P)—Importers in the Federation of Malaya are doing a rushing business with Japanese firms. They have ordered $20,000,000 worth of materials from Japan in the last six weeks. These include wire products, wire nails, aluminum sheeting, corrugated iron sheets, galvanized wire, and building products. The imports are described as essential for construction in Malaya while emergency regulations are still being enforced against communist terrorists. ROUND TOWN—Salomi Ariaz, Anaheim's premier cab driver, is driving his cab again. A couple of years ago he cheated death when he crashed in the fog. But you can't keep a good guy down... Johnny Vuksonovich, the handsome telephone man, is getting anxious to play ball again... Incidentally, Ray Freeman has had a pretty rough time of it in the hospital. His lads are pulling for him. He's a mighty good boss... Lee Kavanagh is learning all about artificial respiration again. He remembers how he and Chris DeSoto worked over Hank Ruiz when Southern California Edison Company and Station KTTV proudly present television coverage of an outstanding event in Southern California’s progress... the installation of the Edison Company’s Millionth Electric Service Meter Tonight, Thursday April 12, 9:00-9:15 KTTV, Channel 11 Edison Hank ventured too far out CREATION NOTE — Don informs us that Roy Merk be back in Anaheim to handle summer recreation baseball.

AILBAG—In response to the customers who have written in regarding an up-to-date, complete history of this area, the Gazetteer wishes to say that there aren't none that we know of.
