42 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1970 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LOOXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1983 Tips from the Coffee Counter Roy Mabee stopped in at the office last week to inform us that his first fishing tour to La Paz, Lower California, was a howling success. Everything was just right—the sun shone, the water sparkled, but best of all, the marlin were hungry. The party of ten sportsmen took 34 or 37 marlin. Roy wasn't sure which, the largest of which weighed 310 pounds. Fourteen marlin were taken in a single day and two 12-year-old boys in the party each caught 2 marlin apiece. Roy said he's not seen the like of it in his 25 years of sports fishing. Best thing about sports fishing in La Paz, according to the Anaheim sportsman, is the fact that none of the catches goes to waste. The people of La Paz cut up the carcasses as soon as they've been photographed and use them for food.

Bandit Escapes In Hail of Buckshot Escaping in a blast of buckshot, which rattled on the rear of his fleeing car, a masked bandit early last Sunday morning got away with $56 in an armed robbery of Sally's liquor store in Santa Ana, operated by Charles E. Roes, 227 N. Helena st., Anaheim. The bandit, wearing a colored handkriechief over his face, confronted the clerk, Marge Durabb with a snub-nosed revolver at 1:40 a.m. He appeared nervous and in a hurry and ordered her to put the cash register's contents in a sack. She was obeying when the sound of a car entering an adjoining parking lot sent the bandit into a dither. "Never mind," he told her shortly and grabbed the money as he dashed to his waiting car. Lawrence F. Radtke of Santa Ana, who had just arrived at the parking lot, saw the man running from the store and grabbed his 12-gauge shotgun loaded with buckshot. He was 50 yards away but tried a shot anyway, and said some of the pellets struck the rear of the bandit's car.

Thomas Kuchel (R) Calif., said Tuesday day in his first speech before the United States Senate. “Anaheim’s own” senator stressed the fact that the state’s title to the tidelands within her boundaries remained unchallenged until the Supreme Court in 1947 decided that the US had paramount rights in the properties. The decision, Sen. Kuchel said, “has raised a signal of warning to every sovereign state in the Union.” The former California state controller, who was appointed to his senatorial position by Gov. Earl Warren to fill the post left when Richard Nixon became vice-president, reviewed the uses to which the state has put its tidelands. He pointed out that large portions of the submerged areas had been used for the construction of wharves, piers, breakwaters and other waterfront improvements; that gas and oil drilling is carried on in the tidelands and that large areas had been leased for the harvest of kelp. These activities had produced state revenue through taxation and royalties, the senator said. Sen. Kuchel’s talk came as the fourteen men and women clading W. L. Robertson, ofi of the Airport club at Seal B were indicted by the Orange city grand jury Monday night a day-long hearing of charges they conspired to violate the gambling act. The grand jury returned its bill to Superior Judge Fran G.

The city of Claremont chose averring evergreen predominate among those recommended.
