Organization Adds Officers; Interesting Program Given Before Full House. In spite of the inclement weather, the meeting of the P.-T. A. opened yesterday afternoon with a full house. In addition to the present officera Miss Parker was elected corresponding secretary, Miss Grimshaw as historian, and Mrs. Goodale as parliamentarian. There were 177 members reported. Mrs. Brastad gave a report of the P-T. A. convention held in Brea. At 3:30 o'clock the following program was given by pupils of the Broadway school: "The Raggedy Man," by Betty James, 3B. "Seeing Things at Night," Arval Morris, 4B. Piano solo, Dorothy Fox, 2A. Mrs. Katy Fisher also gave a cradle song by Kate Vannah. All of these numbers were most pleasing. To the question in the question box "Do the teachers like to have the parents visit the schools," Miss Parker gave the following reply: The visiting parents usually are in one of three groups. 1. Those truly interested in child development. 2. Those wanting to be entertained. 3. Those who are inclined to be critical and in truth meddlesome. The latter class is comprised of those who are willing to be shown, and those who are totally unreasonable and who never wish to school. RITCHIE IN CHARGE OF PACKING HOUSES J. H. Ritchie, who acted as assistant to the late F. E. Halladay, manager of the Anaheim Coop. Orange Assn., who died Sunday, will be in charge of the two packing houses of the association, at least temporarily, it was announced today. As there will be little fruit packing until the Valencia season opens in about two months, it was stated today directors would take their time in selecting a successor to Halladay. Halladay's funeral yesterday afternoon was very largely attended. PIONEER RESIDENT DIES AT PASADENA Mrs. A. Koenig-Schulte Succumbs Early Today. Mrs. A. Koenig-Schulte, wife of A. Schulte, passed away at her late home, 1527 Diamond-st, S. Pasadena, at an early hour this morning. Mrs. Schulte, as a pioneer resident, with her first, husband, Mr. Koenig, did much towards the early building of Anaheim. For a number of years she made her home on S. Los Angeles but several months ago, moved to S. Pasadena. The body is at Back & Terry chapel from which place funeral services will be held, the time to be announced later, as soon as word has been received from relatives in the east. AUTO TRADES ASSN. WILL MEET FRIDAY The big general meeting of the Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., will be held at the offices of Albert H. Sit- To the question in the question box "Do the teachers like to have the parents visit the schools," Miss Parker gave the following reply: The visiting parents usually are in one of three groups. 1. Those truly interested in child development. 2. Those wanting to be entertained. 3. Those who are inclined to be critical and in truth meddlesome. The latter class is comprised of those who are willing to be shown, and those who are totally unreasonable, and who never visit school except to make a complaint. An instance was given of a mother, an ex-school teacher, too, criticizing the methods of teaching used, before the class. In a few days, her daughter, in a very superior manner, was informing the teacher how the lesson should be taught. Of course this had to be stopped and it was not a pleasant task. Had the golden rule been that of by this parent, wouldn't it have been a good thing? Such people soon make the teacher uncomfortable, she is not herself before her class, the children catch the teachers attitude and somewhat disorganized work is apt to follow. Such visitors always grieve the teachers. Considering the class of parents who come to be entertained suffice it to say that they are looking at the children's work and efforts from the wrong angle. Concerning those who are truly interested in the advancement of the child's knowledge, the teachers are always glad to welcome them. Some of the following points may be gained by such a visit. 1. Comparison of her child with others in the class in retardation, team work, attention while teacher is helping him or her individually, and while she is giving class work, application to seat work, and quality of work in neatness, form and accuracy. Knowledge of the child before known to the parent but known to the teacher. Knowledge of the methods of teaching now used. It helps the child to know that the parent is interested in his school work, stimulating interest, pride, thoughtfulness and a desire to do his or her best. The teachers also reap many benefits from interested visitors. Children sometimes go home with stories concerning incidents, which are either intentionally contrary to fact, or possibly because of the child's view point. Parents sometimes pass judgment without investigating and the teacher shudders. Because of their great devotion to their child a parent sometimes accuses a teacher of being partial when the time comes for report cards and Frank hasn't as good a mark as Tom. Had they visited they could have made their own comparisons and if the difference is not very slight—easily discern the inequality of the work. AUTO TRADES ASSN. WILL MEET FRIDAY The big general meeting of the Orange-co Auto Trades Assn. will be held at the offices of Albert H. Sitton, president, 213 No. Spadra-rd. Fullerton, at 8 p.m. Friday. The new association band, which has now been organized two months, will make a number of renditions and Frank Pt Steed, certified public accountant, will talk 15 minutes on how to figure your income tax. A short talk will also be made on the new rulings of the treasury department on income tax. Immediately following the general meeting a special session will be held by the motor craft to discuss something of national scope which will effect the motor craft business very favorably if it is put over. What this proposition is has not yet been announced. C. OF C. AND AUTO CLUB "OPEN" OFFICE Ladies are especially invited to attend the "open day" at the C. of C. headquarters on No. Los Angeles-sf Saturday from 9:30 to 1:30 a.m. m. and from 2 to 4 p.m., Malcom A.

BUENA PARK MA There will be open officers of the Buuen lodge Thursday even invitation has been heim Masons and tend the ceremonies Friday evening sons will put on the lowing which refreshed. stories concerning incidents, which are either intentionally contrary to fact, or possibly because of the child's view point. Parents sometimes pass judgment without investigating and the teacher shudders. Because of their great devotion to their child a parent sometimes accuses a teacher of being partial when the time comes for report cards and Frank hasn't as good a mark as Tom. Had they visited they could have made their own comparisons and if the difference is not very slight—easily discern the inequality of the work. Sometimes the criticism is made that a teacher isn't doing enough individual work or giving enough drill. There may be a good cause for such a condition. Any teacher having classes numbering 45 to 60 or 70 pupils cannot do the individual work that a teacher having 25 to 40 can. No parent can realize the handicaps under which a teacher works without visiting and seeing for himself. In reference to this subject, the clipping is quoted: "It is earnestly requested that fathers and mothers come out and make a success of this meeting. If you are interested in your children. The teachers are working under terrific difficulties this year. Shall we let them struggle on by themselves, or shall we show them sympathy and understanding, thereby smoothing, if ever so little, the thorny, stony path they are travelling. Whatever we do for the teachers will come back to us a hundred fold in what they will be able to do for our children." Mrs. Marle Storm, president P.-T. A. The next meeting will be held in the high school auditorium, the second Tuesday of next month. Parents may leave small children at the Clinton-st school kindergarten and Mrs. Collins, teacher, has offered to see that they are cared for during the meeting. The kindergarten materials will be at the disposal of children under supervision.

ELECTS BOARD At the annual meeting of the Yorba Linda Water Co., held in Ley hall, yesterday, the principal business transacted was the question as to whether outside parties should be supplied with water by the company. After a heated discussion on both sides, lasting until late in the afternoon, the measure was defeated. It was six o'clock before the voting for the new directors began, which resulted in the following being elected: J. W. Lilly, Thomas Hughes, C. W. Marsh, Homer May, E. J. Herbert, Arthur-Staley, G. S. Collins.

Warehouse Space Orange County Plain De LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, January 19, 1921 EDISON TO REDUCE RATE BUT ANAHEIM CONSUMERS RAISED City Hasn't Kept Pace With Wholesale Rate and New Ordinance Will Be Higher. While the state railroad commission yesterday ordered a reduction from 27 to 20 pct. in the surcharge granted the So. Calif. Edison Co. last April 20, Anaheim electrical rates will be announced city council stated today. The reason is that rates to Anaheim consumers have not been advanced in years, while there has been substantial increase in cost to the city, allowed the Edison company by the railroad commission despite a ten-year contract made four years ago between the Edison company and the city which retails it to the consumer. The boosts granted the Edison Co. over the contract price have made the dispensing of electrical energy by the city an expensive proposition, the loss of which had to be made up by taxes. City Manager O. E. Stewart recently prepared two schedules of rates, one to be adopted if the 27 pct. surcharge was continued and the other if the entire 27 pct. was knocked out. Since the surcharge was reduced from 27 to 20 pct. it will be necessary to prepare another schedule which will be drafted into an ordinance and adopted as soon as possible and the council is anxious that the increased revenues begin at the earliest possible date. While Anaheim consumers will be paying more for energy, scores of electrical users outside the city will be paying less. They have been paying directly to the Edison Co. Bebe Daniels Trial Changed to Mar. 17 Bebe Daniels, movie vamp, who faces a charge in the court of Justice Cox at Santa Ana of speeding at a rate understood to have been 59 miles an hour, which in recent experience, has entailed a jail sentence of ten days, motored down to the county seat today. But she didn't get out of her limousine to the disappointment of a crowd of between 400 and 500 who had gathered to see the fun. Instead, her attorney appeared before Cox and made a motion for a change of venue. This Cox promptly denied. Her consul then entered a plea of not guilty and trial was set for 10 a.m., March 17. CONGRESSMAN WILL TALK TARIFF NEEDS WITH GROWER HERE Swing Will Spend Two Days in Orange-co Meeting Representative Producers.

Points will be awarded as follows: first place five points, second place three points and third place one point. CAUTION MERCHANTS AGAINST BAD CHECKS The Fullerton police department is trying to impress upon the merchants of Fullerton the necessity of knowing a party well before cashing a check for him in accordance with the recent request of Sheriff C. E. Jackson to this effect, Ed Thwing, city marshal, stated this morning. Mr. Thwing said that not only are the cities of Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Santa-Ana and other towns of Orange-co snowed under with bad checks, but that Los Angeles, River-side, Redlands, San Bernardino and all other cities of So. Cal are "in the same boat." He stated if merchants would only be more careful in cashing checks this evil would be easily remedied.

Swings' idea in coming to Orange-co principally is to get a line on the needs of the various producers in this part of the district for tariff protection against foreign importations, so that when he goes to Washington he may have a definite program to pursue. MRS. PEETE GOES TO TRIAL FOR MURDER LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.—Opening the fight for the life of Mrs. Louise R. Peete, who went on trial today before Superior Judge Frank R. Willis on a charge of having murdered Jacob C. Denton, 12 men were called to the jury box today for questioning by the attorneys on their qualifications to serve in Mrs. Peete's case. Hundreds of persons, including many women and girls, stormed the courtroom and stood outside in the rain for admission. The big trial started at 10:07. Dist. Aty. Thos.

Edens, of Fullerton, for the purpose of oil drilling in the vicinity of Stanton will embrace territory from Magnolia-rd to Hansen Station and from Brookhurst to Magnolia which will take in the Katella district, it was announced today by Billy Franz of the Franz Reality Co., who is obtaining leases for Mr. Edens. If anyone cast of Magnolia is interested Mr. Franz will talk business to them also in Mr. Edens behalf at his office on W. Center-st. Due to the bad weather and the fact that Mr. Edens has been busy with his holdings in the Huntington Beach district, which has prevented a geologist from making inspections the proposed lease work has not progressed as fast as it was hoped but as soon as the weather becomes fairer something more definite will be done. It was stated. Mr. Edens is also getting ready to push his holdings in the Buena Park district, Mr. Franz said, adding that another company had been invading Mr. Edens' territory in the vicinity of the Katella school house but that nothing has come of that to date and it will not affect Mr. Edens' work. The principal thing now is to agree on the terms of a lease, provided the geologist makes a favorable report, and Mr. Edens has agreed to abide by the terms of a lease being drawn up by Attorney Horace Head, of Santa Ana, said Mr. Franz. EXPERT WILL SHOW TRACTOR AT SCHOOL Of all the machines a farmer owns, none is more important than his tractor. Especially is this true this year. Tractors must be in condition to work day and night; if necessary, to make possible the increased production of food we need. There must be no delay due to unsatisfactory operation or lack of understanding. To this end the International Harvester Co., thru its agency, M. Altiste & Co., of Fullerton, is furnishing Mr. Geo. D.French, its expert tractor engineer, without cost, to the Fullerton Union high school of Fullerton. This school will be held in the machine shop of the Fullerton Union high school, Thursday, Jan. 20, 1921 (all day). The morning session will be from 9 a.m., until 12 m., and the afternoon session begins at 1 p.m., lasts until 4 p.m. It is advantageous to attend this school the entire day, as the engineer is going to have those attending this school completely dissect the tractor and then put it together again, an opportunity to see every part in the International 8-16 tractor.

J. M. Alcorn of the agricultural department of the school and A. E. Ames of the manual training department are in charge of the special school. "HERE COMES BRIDE" BRIGHT AND CHEERY A metropolitan performance of "Here Comes the Bride" was given by the Trahern Stock Co. at the Grand last night. With few exceptions, if any, the cast displayed cleverness and ability which comes of long stock experience. Staged under the personal direction of Earl Lee, the piece was bright, cheery and mirthful, which made the Grand a mighty pleasant place to spend an evening of enjoyment. The play is probably the best of the new company's productions, now in its fourth week. The Trahern Stock Co. will appear here again tonight in "Here Comes the Bride," in accordance with the new policy of the management that calls for two nights at the Grand each week instead of one. Next week the Trahern players will appear in "Charley's Aunt." Witman, Eyesight Specialist. Try a Plain Dealer Want Ad— ANNOUNCCE CHANGES IN SANTA FE TIME S. E.

The books were turned over to J. J. Hunt, new adjutant, and George Prince, finance officer. Dwight Scott was re-appointed on the entertainment committee and the committee nominated on this committee at the meeting of the executive committee Monday night confirmed. They are Chairman, Howard Haynes, Ed Defmortes, Jack Hebson, Clyde Webb, Frank Brashear and Arnold En Earl. The nomination of Joe Ackerman as chairman of the athletic committee was also confirmed. A building committee composed of Ed Miller, chairman; Dwight Scott, Frank Luce and Arnold En Earl was appointed to work out plans and NEW ASSEMBLYMEN STAGGERED AT TAX DEMAND, SAYS HART Whether Corporation Rate Shall Be Increased 35 Oct. Cause of Warm Debate. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19—The revenue and taxation bill, which virtually fixes a one-third increase in valuation upon the public utilities of the state, passed the senate today by a vote of 30 to 10. (By Win. O. Hart, Assemblyman from Orange-co.) SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19.—Whether the legislature shall increase the tax rates of corporations classified for taxation under Amendment No. 1 by approximately 35 pct. or whether some other method shall be followed to raise an estimated deficit of about $14,000,000 during the coming biennial period is a question which is agitating not only the state legislature but practically every public utility interest in the state, as well as banks and insurance companies. The deficit which represents the difference between the budget of $81,378,571 asked by the board of control for conducting the business of the state the next two years and the $66,939,200 which it is estimated will be produced from existing sources of revenue, is proving an extremely knotty problem to the legislature, innamuch as there is a distinct divergence of opinion as to method between leading tax experts. It should be stated that administration officials are stressing the point that no deficit would have existed but for the action of the people in voting $12,000,000 for school pur- GEORGE PRINCE, finance officer, Dwight Scott was re-appointed on the entertainment committee and the committee nominated on this committee at the meeting of the executive committee Monday night confirmed. They are Chairman, Howard Haynes, Ed Defmortz, Jack Hebson, Clyde Webb, Frank Brashear and Arnold En Earl. The nomination of Joe Ackerman as chairman of the athletic committee was also confirmed. A building committee composed of Ed Miller, chairman; Dwight Scott, Frank Luce and Arnold En Earl was appointed to work out plans and specifications in conjunction with the executive committee for a new clubhouse and report at the regular meeting of the Legion the first Tuesday in February. The executive committee will hold a meeting next Monday night when it is hoped to work out some plan for financing the erection of a new club house. The building committee will probably submit tentative plans at that time as to what the clubhouse should be and what it should cost. The entertainment committee was instructed to give some sort of entertainment at the regular meeting of the legion once a month. They will do this at the meeting the first Tuesday in February when a feed and a good entertainment will be given. A great time is expected. POOL CHAMP WILL SHOOT HERE TONITE Local cue fans will be given a real treat this evening at the Dugas & Myre billiard parlors when Frank Taberski, undefeated world's champion pool player, will appear in an exhibition game. It is the first appearance in this city of such style of champion, and his 125 point game at 14-1 rack pool against the best local star should be a real entertainment to lovers of the green cloth game. Taberski has played all the world's noted players such as Ralph Greenleaf, Bennie Allen, James Maturo, John Layton, Joheph Cannon and many others, never once meeting a defeat. He also holds the world's record high runs at pool of 205 and 238. After his match game this evening "Tab" will give an exhibition of fancy and trick shooting, all of his own origin, which have made him popular throughout the country. $2,500,000 WORCHESTER FIRE BOSTON, Jan. 19—Governor Channing Cox sent intelligence officers to Worcester today to investigate reports that the fires there were of incendiary origin.
