West in Santa Ana. A morning session, which developed new charges of mistreatment of other pupils at the school, left the hearing incomplete. Taking an unusual twist, the hearing found Sgt. Russell Campbell, juvenile officer for the sheriff's office testifying to the reports of other alleged cruelties at the school operated by Mrs. Ward and her husband, Rev. Tilford Ward, evangelist for Assemblies of God church. Sgt. Campbell was called to the witness stand by the court. He testified that he and deputy sheriff Jack McLary were summoned last Sept. 10 to Anaheim police headquarters to interview a boy who said he had been whipped with a belt at the school and that he had received no medical care when taken ill with mumps. Mrs. Ward, who has four children of her own, and Mrs. Munger who is an expectant mother, both made known to the court that they want permission to go east to live if they receive probation. Probation officials indicated there would be complications in the way of such a move, which would require prior arrangements with eastern officials to supervise the two cases. Chamber Member Anaheim Jaycees Mobilize Drive For Membership, Registration Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce directors, meeting at President Warren Hollingsworth's home last night, decided to initiate two campaigns—membership and voting registration—beginning immediately. Bob Malone, chairman of the JC Membership committee, announced that the membership drive will seek to bring the total members to 100. At present there are 45. No time limit was set on the drive. A letter explaining the purposes of Junior Chamber will be sent to prospective members, the letters to be followed up by sponsoring members of the JC. In an attempt to make Anaheim vote conscious, the JC Public Affairs committee began organization last night of a drive to register as many qualified local citizens as possible before the registration deadline, April 10, for the primary and general elections. Tentative plans were formulated to establish deputy registrars' booths in four or six strategic locations about Anaheim. If possible, these booths will be augmented by a traveling registration book. "If the public won't come to the registrar's office, we'll take the registrar to the public's homes," Leonard Kreldt, chairman of the Public Affairs committee, declared. First effort will be made within the Junior Chamber itself, where 100 per cent registration of the members will be sought. Then the campaign will shift to Anaheim. Thomas H. Glenn To Present Film At Rotary Monday Thomas H. Glenn, chairman of the English department at Santa Ana college, will give one of his popular film-talks at the Anaheim Rotary meeting next Monday, in the Elks club, program chairman Adolf Schoepe announced today. Chamber Member Campaign Passes Goal of 47 New members secured for the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce during the current "short but hot" membership campaign has reached 51, it was announced this morning by Chairman Dick Gay. Goal of the drive was set at 47. Final reports from directors of the Chamber, who are making the drive, will be turned in at noon, Monday, to bring the campaign to a close. That evening, the losing team of 10 directors will buy the winning team a dinner at Knott's Berry Farm steak house. Dick Gay's "Stars" are still in the lead on runs scored with 28 to John Ganahl's Giant's 24 runs. Chicken Pox Cases Prevalent in Area Cases of chicken pox, numbering 103 for the past two-week period, represented approximately half of the communicable diseases prevalent in the county for the period, according to a health department report today. Total cases of communicable disease was 208. Next highest group of cases, numbering $0, were those of strep throat and other respiratory infections, the group including scarlet fever. If the public won't come to the registrar's office, we'll take the registrar to the public's homes," Leonard Kreidt, chairman of the Public Affairs committee, declared. First effort will be made within the Junior Chamber itself, where 100 per cent registration of the members will be sought. Then the campaign will shift to Anaheim service clubs in an attempt to get them signed up, 100 per cent. Cooperation of churches, fraternal organizations and P-TA's will also be solicited in getting Anaheim ready to vote in both June and November. Tentative plans also call for telephone crews, made up of JC members, to make a particularly intensive effort just before the registration deadline to contact personally those citizens who have forgotten to register or who have not been able to register. A motor corps will be organized, if necessary, to take registration books to Thieves at Work On Hub Caps Mechanics' tools and automobile hub caps were targets of thieves who obtained loot worth $62 in operations last night in Santa Ana. Mrs. Kay Watkins, wife of Olen D. Watkins, 743½ N. Lemon st., Anaheim, parked the family car on a Santa Ana parking lot while she went to the theater with a woman friend.

They indicated their willingness not to oppose proposed legislation adding one cent to the state sales tax, which would permit counties to participate in revenues obtained. But they would expect the county supervisors to support legislation which would require urban communities to pay costs of their government service, and end their so-called "free tax ride" at the expense of the cities. Proposed legislation would add one cent to the present state sales tax, and the state would handle all collections. It would take 25 per cent of the extra cent for its services. Counties would receive 75 per cent of all collections in unincorporated territory and 7.5 per cent of taxes collected in the cities. The cities would receive 67.5 per cent of the collections within their borders. City officials are said to consider that, in the proposed sales tax bill, they have leverage to use upon the county supervisors in settlement of the city-county relations problem that have been under discussion for some time. The cities particularly have complained that unincorporated communities have been receiving free services from the county, which the cities help to pay. The cities suggest provision of such services through formation of local assessment districts, or some other similar plan. County supervisors heretofore have not conceded that the unincorporated territory has been getting the best of the tax burden distribution. At last night's meeting, Mayor Charles A. Pearson, of Anaheim, former president of the California State University System, bowed in reverence. Then she entrained for Windsor with the body and saw it last rest in a crypt of royalty alright holding George III and nine other sovereigns.

Water 50 Years' Service At 4 a.m., last Tuesday, Walter Parret completed 50 years of services with the Anaheim Unicorn Water Co. At 76, AUW Co.'s water supervisor is still actively engaged in keeping an eye on the organization's maze of flumes, canals, gates and lines. And lucky it is for the Water company, too, for Walter Parret is reputed to be the only man who saw most of them put into the ground. It was 4 a.m., Feb. 12, 1909 when Parret went to work steadily with the water company at the age of 26. Through the years he worked at everything the company had to offer in the field and finally wound up as water supervisor. Before that he had wandered around California, working in Oceanside for a time, then going to Oakland, where he started a journalistic career. Contracting a dust-induced respiratory condition, he left Oakland and began working his way south again. At Bakersfield he worked on cattle ranches; then he put in some time as an orange rancher in this county; for a time he worked for the Santa Fe railroad—he still talks of the time he helped construct the railroad tracks near Pico. When he was 20 years old, Parret married Alta Hatfield, the CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY The Weather S. Calif.—Variable high thin cloudiness tonight and Saturday with mostly sunny days.

Burglar Eludes County Police In LA Jail When Elbert Woodman, 25, of Long Beach failed to appear in superior court in Santa Ana this morning for sentence on a Huntington Beach safe burglary charge, Superior Judge Franklin G. West issued a bench warrant for his arrest. Then it was discovered that the reason he did not appear was because he is in a Los Angeles jail. He was sentenced there yesterday to a term of one year for another burglary at Artesia. Meanwhile, his brother, Kenneth Woodman, 23, and Clifford Hinds, 19, both of Long Beach, also were returned to the Orange county jail by their bail bondsman, Ernest D. Webb, who had posted $2500 bonds for each while they were awaiting sentence for a Garden Grove safe burglary. Webb grew wary after Woodman and Hinds were twice picked up for questioning for burglary investigations, at Long Beach and at Norwalk. He cancelled their bonds and surrendered both men at the jail where they will remain until sentence. They had pleaded guilty to an $800 jewel theft from the Kelner Jewelry store safe at Garden Grove last Dec. 7. Elbert Woodman pleaded guilty to a $2340 safe cracking burglary at the W. M. Adair market in Huntington Beach last Dec. 27. He committed the Artesia burglary last September.
