News of Fullerton 50 YOUTHS ATTEND 1ST HI-Y BANQUET Preliminary steps for the organization of a Hi-Y club in Fullerton were taken last night at a banquet held at the parlor of the First Christian church. The meeting was attended by about 50 high school and junior college boys and was addressed by Harry O. Hill, "Y" secretary, who set out the ideals and standards for which the Y. M. C. A. stands. He stated that the "Y" stands for a clean strong body and a pure mind—the ideals that will carry one thru life. C. C. Chapman also talked along the same lines. He stated that young men are the greatest asset of any community when they are imbued with the right kind of ideals and the biggest liability when they fall into evil ways. Character counts more than anything else, Mr. Chapman said, and added, "You cannot fool the world." Lloyd Hessel, of Orange, told of what the Hi-Y club of that city is doing.

Amerige and wife returned home to Fullerton yesterday after a trip that consumed exactly four months during which time they crossed and criss-crossed the United States from west to east and north to south, touching more than half the states of the union. Mr. Amerige was out calling on old friends this morning but Mrs. Amerige declared it was the best trip of their lives. They left Fullerton on the 16th of last September going first to Indianapolis and then to Boston. Here they took a car into the White mountains and along the Mohawk trail. They were in the White mountains until the autumn leaves had fallen and winter began to threaten, the autumn being one of the most beautiful in that section of the country, then they were away to the Sunny South—and Florida. "Florida has a lovely climate, but give me Cal. in which to live," Mrs. Amerige declared. She stated that the people there are more shiftless and that while the Florida fruits are good there is no system in citrus fruit growing with the exception of the Arcadia district where the packing system has been copied from Cal. She added that she would have to admit the grapefruits are better than the grapefruits here, the only in that one particular does Florida fruit excel and this would not be true if the grapefruit were given the same attention here as there. They visited Palm Beach and went as far south as Miami. They had intended to go to Cuba but had to go thru so much red tape to obtain a passport that they didn't go. She said it was a funny thing that so much red tape had to be gone thru to go to Havana when one could go to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, which is a British possession and as much a foreign country as Cuba, without a passport. They returned by New Orleans, where they took the Sunset Limited over the Sou. Pac., into Los Angeles. Mrs. Amerige stated that she no CELEBRATE 81ST ANNIVERSARY Mrs. E. W. Pohlman was hostess Sunday when she entertained at the Pohlman home, 2½ miles west on the county road as a courtesy for Mrs. Pohlman's father, Joseph Pink, of Highland, Wis., who is spending the winter in California and who on Sunday observed the 81st anniversary of his birthday. Mrs. Pohlban served a most excellent three-course dinner menu. The attractive centerpiece for the table was the splendid birthday cake upon which candles had been arranged to form the figures eight and one to honor Mr. Pink. A social afternoon followed. Mr. Pink was the recipient of hosts of good wishes, the guests hoping with him that he would live to observe many more such occasions. The guest list included Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Zenz and daughter, Mary, and Miss Margaret Zenz, nephew and nieces of Mr. Pink and who came from Long Beach to enjoy the affair. WATER CO.S OPPOSE BIG SANTA ANA DAM At a joint meeting of directors of the Serrano Water Co. of Villa Park and the John T. Carpenter Water Co. of El Modena, preparations were made to oppose the efforts of Santa Anu to secure water rights in the Santiago canyon. It is declared that the irrigators of Villa Park and El Modena have long had in contemplation the construction of a reservoir for catching storm waters of the Santiago creek. Santa Ana has filed on the water, seeking to secure a right to the appropriation of what is called the runoff from the creek. That is, all of the water that otherwise would go down the creek to the sea. There has been no intention on the part of city officials working on the plan to attempt to prevent the irrigation companies from taking for irrigation as much water as has been and is shethe. "In this connection," said Willard Smith of Villa Park, a director of the Serrano Water Co., "it might be well to point out that Santa Ana is proposes." KAFATERIAS WIN 2 OFF DUGAS & MYRE Kafaterias won two games from Dugas & Myre in the City League bowling last night, one of them by three pins, and losing the third by one pin, while the First Nationals were back in their old stride, taking three straight from Holland Electric.

H. Finley of Santa Ana against the proposal of the Orange-co harbor commission to lease a frontage of 1000 feet on Newport harbor to John F. Craig, shipbuilder, of Long Bench, has been answered by two broadsides one by L. L. Shaw of Santa Ana, chairman of the commission, and the other by Lew H. Wallace of Newport HOLDUP DEFEATED BY FULLERTON MEN F. A. Krause, Herbert Foss, N. M. Anderson and Albert Hetterbrink "beat a would-be hold-up man to it" on the desert near the Salton Sea Saturday when they were on their way to Westmorland to go duck-hunting. He came running out in front of them with a six-shooter but they made the draw quicker and after questioning him told him to go on his way. He was described as a large, husky man who wore no coat. When they reached Westmorland and heard of the murder of a man and a woman at Coachella they that probably this was the murderer who was making his get-away across the desert and if they had been unarmed would have taken their car and left them to a long, tortuous hike across the desert. SAYS TWO FINGERS BITTEN IN FIGHT H. H. Brown, an oil worker from the Bera fields, was before Judge French this morning on a complaint of H. B. Pyle, also an oil worker, who exhibited two crippled fingers as a testimonial that Brown had one of the finest sets of teeth in the country. He declared that he and Brown had had a misunderstanding because of a former accident in which their cars had collided which developed into a "friendly little fist fight" in which Brown had bitten his fingers. Nothing was done in the matter awaiting the effect of the bite upon Pyle's fingers. Brown was arrested by Ed Thwing, city marshal, of Fullerton. RAIN HOLDS BACK TRACTOR SCHOOL There has not been as large crowds at the tractor school at the Fullerton high school this week as were expected, due to the rainy weather, it was stated today at the office of L. E. Plummer, principal, but larger crowds are expected here as there. They visited Palm Beach and went as far south as Miami. They had intended to go to Cuba but had to go thru so much red tape to obtain a passport that they didn't go. She said it was a funny thing that so much red tape had to be gone thru to go to Havana when one could go to Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas, which is a British possession and as much a foreign country as Cuba, without a passport. They returned by New Orleans, where they took the Sunset Limited over the Soup. Pac, into Los Angeles. Mrs. Amerige stated that she noticed especially on the return trip that lots of cotton is grown in Southern Arizona in the vicinity of Yuma and in the Imperial valley. In this connection," said Willard Smith of Villa Park, a director of the Serrano Water Co., "it might be well to point out that Santa Ana is proposing to build a reservoir upon the property that is used for spreading surplus waters, which in itself is an appropriation on our part of runoff water. Our legal advisor tells us that the Santa Ana plan cannot be worked out." Further the director said that he and the directors of the two water companies do not believe that the reservoir site chosen by the Santa Ana officials is a feasible site. "We have reports from engineers who have examined the Santiago canyon and its tributaries," he said. "The site upon which the city of Santa Ana has filed was reported as not feasible. We were told that there were but two feasible sites. One of them is at the Fourth crossing in the Santiago canyon, where a dam can be hooked on to solid rock formation on each side of the canyon. The other is in Fremont canyon, known by some as Robber's Cave canyon. "Some years ago negotiations were under way between our two water companies and James Irvine, of the Irvine company, relative to the construction of a dam at the Fourth crossing. Conditions have not been right for going ahead with that project, but there is no doubt in my mind that we will have the right to go ahead and build that dam whenever we find conditions right to go ahead with its construction." The Fourth crossing is about two miles up the canyon from the proposed Santa Ana dam. Yorba Linda News YORBA LINDA, Jan. 18. (Special) Dr. Keller entertained his friends at cards on a recent evening at his ranch home on Placentia road.

SHAW AND WALLACE REPLY TO FINLEY The broadside fired by Supervisor S. H. Finley of Santa Ana against the proposal of the Orange-co harbor commission to lease a frontage of 1000 feet on Newport harbor to John F. Craig, shipbuilder, of Long Beach, has been answered by two broadsides one by L. L. Shaw of Santa Ana, chairman of the commission, and the other by Lew H. Wallace, of Newport Beach. Shaw replies to Finley's general criticism of the harbor project, and deals also with the leasing proposal. Wallace in his statement takes up the leasing proposal only. Each points out that the dredging to be done with $50,000 received from Craig is not to be for the development of private frontage but for widening of the main harbor channel. The chairman and the secretary of the commission stoutly maintain that the leasing of the land to Craig will be a big thing for the harbor, that Orange-co is securing Craig's interest and is being paid $50,000 for it, while Long Beach in order to secure his interest a few years ago paid him a cash bonus. Wallace and Shaw said that they were not speaking for the commission, but, out of their experience and knowledge as commissioners, were speaking as individuals. Asked for a statement as to what has been accomplished upon the harbor, what has been accomplished with what has been expended, what the plans of the commission as as to how the remainder of the $50,000 will be expended, and what the harbor will RAIN HOLDS BACK TRACTOR SCHOOL There has not been as large crowds at the tractor school at the Fullerton high school this week as were expected, due to the rainy weather, it was stated today at the office of L.
