This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 169 LEGION PLANS McBride Asks $609,800 PLAN TO ADVERTISE COUNTY NATIONALLY THRU BIBLE STUDY Plan to Make Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana Testing Cities for Malden Plan. Plans to make Anaheim, Fulperton Orange and Santa Ana the testing cities for the Malden plan of education to place the religious education and the study of the Bible on a par with the secular studies in public schools were unanimously endorsed last night at a meeting of the Sunday School Association. The State Sunday School Assn. had wanted to make Anaheim the testing ground but since the project would have cost about $6000 for a year's experiment, Dr. J. A. Gelssinger, pastor of the White Temple, did not think it advisable that Anaheim undertake such a project alone, and so plans were made to try to get Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana to cooperate. Under this plan, a board of religious education comparing with city boards of education would be formed who in turn would elect a director Face Serious Situation As Paving Breaks Down County Engineer J. L. McBride today addressed a lengthy communication to county supervisors in which he stated $609,880 would be required to carry out proposed extensions of the highway system and make needed repairs to existing paved highways this year. This is considerably more than the revenue obtainable thru the regular road maintenance tax. McBride states that a year ago it was believed the maintenance fund would be sufficient for upkeep of highways but that the rapid deterioration of highways within the last month forces Orange-co to face a serious situation. The county engineer suggests that if the above amount of money is not available that present paved roads should be repaired before further extensions are made to the highway system. He asserts a bad feature of the truck law is that it does not take cognizance of the different types of roadway. If possible, he suggests that truck loads be limited for various roads and that trucks be required to use certain roads and stay off others. MOVIE STARS HELP HOME TRAVADEVILLE Ray Hicks Will Select Night for Big Legion Benefit At the regular meeting last night arrangement for a big vaudeville show within about one mile benefit of the clubhouse. Ray Hicks, an old vaudeville man, who did the army and was later 11 months in France, a troupe of entertainers trained to stage the affair prove a much bigger than anything of the fore attempted in Oraninary arrangements all a more successful show staged by the Fullerton Ebell, which packed high school auditorium. The plan is to stage skits and a number of stunts. Hicks will next Monday evening last night at a meeting of the Sunday School Association. The State Sunday School Assn. had wanted to make Anaheim the testing ground but since the project would have cost about $6000 for a year's experiment, Dr. J. A. Gelssinger, pastor of the White Temple, did not think it advisable that Anaheim undertake such a project alone, and so plans were made to try to get Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana to cooperate. Under this plan, a board of religious education comparing with city boards of education would be formed who in turn would elect a director of religious education for the city, comparing with the superintendent of public schools. Week-day schools either before, during or after school hours would be held an dcredit would be given towards a diploma in the regular school. If the project goes thoru the co-operation of the public educational authorities will be sought, Dr. Gelssinger said. Meetings will be held at Fullerton and Orange this week to interest these cities and a general meeting will be held at Santa Ana Tuesday night. A preachhs' meeting will be held at Santa Ana Tuesday morning which Dr. Gelssinger will attend. He will submit the views of the ministers to the meeting Tuesday night. This would solve the present problem of no religious teachings in the public schools since the separation of the church and state and would likely be adopted thruout the U. S. If it proved a success in Orange-co. Recently ya plan of this kind received much enthusiasm from Catholics, Jews and Protestants of New York City, but fell thru for lack of facilities. If put thru here it would be the best advertising the city could obtain. The out of town visitors present at the meeting last night included Hugh Gibson, state secretary of the Sunday School Assn., Mrs. Gentry and J. A. Elza of the National S. S. Assn., and Mr. Kitzmiller, of Orange secretary of the County Sunday School Assn. The Presbyterian Episcopal and Methodist churches were represented last night. Among those present were Rev. G. R. Messias, Frank N. Gilbs, Charles Eygabroad, E. O. Steward, George M. Tedrick, S. R. Coate and Miss Walker, of the high school faculty. INVITES GROWERS TO VISIT AVOCADO RANCH A number of Orange-co avacado growers went to Whittier today to join a Whittier C. of C party to the ranch of A. R. Rideout to inspect Lyon avacados on the place. Rideout is enthusiastic over the possibility of avacado culture. He says: "If I had just 30 acres of Lyon trees out in this section, eleven feet apart each way, and each tree would bear a hundred fruit, at 25 cents each I would receive for that crop $250,000. If I got the present price of $12 per dozen, I would receive over a million dollars for the one location of highways within the last month forces Orange-co to face a serious situation. The county engineer suggests that if the above amount of money is not available that present paved roads should be repaired before further extensions are made to the highway system. He asserts a bad feature of the truck law is that it does not take cognizance of the different types of roadway. If possible, he suggests that truck loads be limited for various roads and that trucks be required to use certain roads and stay off of others." MUCH INTEREST IN REVIVAL AT SALEM The Salem Evangelical church revival is being well attended each evening. Rev. Weatherwax preached a very forceful sermon last night on "The Winning Church" or "The Wise People." The evangelist said in part: "I were to walk thru your city and ask who is the wise man of our nation, probably your banker would say the successful financier is the wise man; the politician would say the President of the U. S is wise, and the army man would think that General Perishing is wise, but when I put the question to God, He answers back: 'He that winnthe souls is wise,' Prov. 11:30. "Soul winning is almost a lost art in these days and that is a chief reason many of the churches have no power with God and are turning to worldly amusements. It is said that 75 pct of the church members are satisfied with merely church membership and are not seeking to bring others to Christ. "Do you know that there are scores of church members in Anaheim who are, according to Jesus words, not even good friends of Jesus Christ. Listen, Jesus says: 'Ye are my friends if ye do whatever I command you.' Friends, it is the business of Salem church to be a soul saving station. What other business have you? Oh, friends, how the church needs to be cleansed! How the church needs to be full of the Holy Ghost that she may have power to reach sinners for Christ!' "One thing will help the church become more attractive; lay aside your graveyard Christianity and let God restore you into the joy of His salvation; then sinners shall be converted. Salvation of the right sort is more attractive than anything the world can produce—let us have that kind. Tonight the evangelist will preach on "The Church With Power." COALINGA-MOHAWK PROGRESSES SLOWLY Newport Field With iron in the hoie The Coalinga-Mohawk's No. 1 at Newport is making slow progress at 3300 feet. The H. T & K. Syndicate has A number of Orange-coach growers went to Whittier today to join a Whittier C. of C. party to the ranch of A. R. Rideout to inspect Lyon avacadoes on the place. Rideout is enthusiastic over the possibility of avacado culture. He says: "If I had just 30 acres of Lyon trees out in this section, eleven feet apart each way, and each tree would bear a hundred fruit, at 25 cents each I would receive for that crop $250,000. If I got the present price of $12 per dozen, I would receive over a million dollars for the one crop. What do you know about that? It is all very possible and probable. I have several working models that will bear me out in my seeming extravagant statements." Rideout will be picking his crop soon and he is anxious for interested growers to see it before it is harvested.
