Math. 7:18. POLITICING—An Anaheimer whom you probably know, has just made an election bet. While there's nothing newsworthy about an election bet, we'd like to tell you about this one. This prominent Anaheimer is betting that Harry S. Truman—yes, the present White House tennant—will be the next president of the United States... His reasoning: Sen. Robert A. Taft will get the GOP nomination and the gentleman from Missouri would welcome an opportunity to campaign against his "favorite candidate." Incidentally, echoes from Chicago sound like they're booming Yorba Linda's favorite son—Sen. William Nixon—for the vice presidency... Anaheimers still like Ike and on the other side of the political coral they'd like to see Estes bestest. UNIVERSAL — Anaheim women don't like to do housework; neither would they have a job if they had their 'druthers.' A similar dissatisfaction of doing household chores is noted here.

Incidentally a customer postcards: "If you want to ask a question: Why don't you ask about the Palma Park softball diamond? Do you think it is a recommendation for Anaheim?" Don't know, air, maybe Jim Wright, the recreation department's efficient softball director, or Vie Ruedy, the hard-working park superintendent, has the answer.

Costa Mesa district directors found contractors eager for jobs and opened three favorable bids on its proposed lines, all well below the cost estimates. Contractor J. Barrett, Newport, bidding on two alternate plans, submitted the lowest figures, $221,227.06 and $218,487.08. The contract will be awarded next Wednesday evening.

SUN 8:00 P.M., WEDNESDAY — 9:30 A.M. — SUN THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE IS LOCATED AT 110 S. LO Santa Ana River Flow to Probably Be Taken Into Water Co. Canals Delivery of the 5000 acre feet of Colorado river water purchased by the Orange County Water district from MWD this year has been completed, but the flow down the Santa Ana river will be continued at a reduced rate, all of it probably taken into the canals of the two major water companies, under new agreements between the water district and the water companies for compensation to the district. That was the decision this week of the water district directors at their monthly meeting, which developed a new attitude toward the question whether it is better for the water companies to use the flow of imported water and not pump the underground supply, or to let the surface flow sink underground lower in the basin. Considerable criticism was heard from the lower and middle sections of the county last summer because the water companies were taking the Colorado river water into their canals instead of bypassing it so that it could be sunk underground farther down the river. At yesterday's meeting, however, it appeared evident that sentiment is swinging toward the argument of the water companies and those who approved their practice, that more water is saved by using it above ground rather than sinking it and then pumping it out again. Transpiration is below the canal intakes, it was said. The new policy apparently would mean that little if any water would get down to the spreading grounds near Yorba bridge. It will be necessary for the water district to formally request, by letter, that the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation co. stop its pumps and begin taking Colorado river flow at its headgates. Director E. T. Watson of Olive, also a director of the SAVI co. and the Santa Ana River Development co., frankly told the water district board yesterday that the SAVI co. is deliberately refraining from taking the Colorado river water because of criticism it aroused last year. If the water district wants the pumping stopped, it should make formal request of the water company to use the Colorado river water instead. His suggestion was adopted, on condition that the Anaheim Union Water co., sign an agreement with the water district, which SAVI already has signed, providing for compensation of the district for Colorado river water taken into their canals. The request to stop pumping and use Colorado river water then would be addressed to both companies, it was decided. The Anaheim Union Water co. is already using the Colorado river water instead of pumping. Although encouraging progress have begun following in the H. M. Brinker Orange County Suit Against Failure Although encouraging progress have begun following in the H. M. Brinker The Anaheim Union Water co. is already using the Colorado river water instead of pumping. At yesterday's meeting, however, it appeared evident that sentiment is swinging toward the argument of the water companies and those who approved their practice, that more water is saved by using it above ground rather than sinking it and then pumping it out again. ENGINEER PAUL Bailey, consultant of the water district directors, pointed out yesterday that it is easy to pump water out of the ground but not easy to sink it below ground. He estimated that much more water would be saved by using it before it was allowed to sink, and there would be much less drain upon the underground supply by stopping the big pumps of the water companies. Directors accepted that view. They voted to continue the flow of Colorado river water for delivery of an unspecified amount, up to 30,000 acre feet, for which they have budgeted $330,000 this year. And they ordered the present flow of 90 second feet reduced to 60 second feet; which represents approximately the average use of the two water companies, who would take all of that flow into their canals. Besides reducing waste through evaporation, the lower rate of flow can be more easily handled by the channels it was stated. Heaviest area of evaporation and president, or W. B.

Orange County Advised to Press Suit Against Four Nearby Cities Although encouraging progress reported from San Bernardino and Riverside counties with respect to organizing a district for exxication to the Metropolitan After District, it may be necessary for Orange county to proceed rather with its water injunction against the cities of Riverdale, San Bernardino, Colton and Oakland, in order to keep the legally alive. Attorney A. W. Rutan and H. Rodger Howell, counsel for the water district, so advised the district directors at this week's session. The suit was filed Oct. 19, 1951; as a spur to action by the upriver counties toward acquiring Colorado river water, instead of draining the already depleted Santa Ana basin. The suit complains against the increased use of local basin water by the four cities, who have no legal right to take underground water. If successful, the injunction suit would cut the supply of the four cities back five years to the amount they were using then. Their right to such supply is established by unchallenged use. Orange county having joined MWD virtually in its entirety, was said to feel that it was in position to press the sister counties to take similar action, and bear their share of the expense.
