News of Fullerton FULLERTON MAN HAS STUDEBAKER ABROAD According to dispatches from abroad, the family of Snyder Ross of Fullerton are numbered among the many Americans who are now touring the battlefields of France and Belgium. The Fullerton man purchased a new Studebaker car and had it shipped to Liverpool on the same boat in which he and his family crossed the Atlantic. From Liverpool he inaugurated a tour which has already taken in the countries of England, France, Switzerland, Spain and Italy. From Palermo, Italy, he writes that scores of famous battlefields and other points of interest have been visited. Concerning his tire experience he states that his car was equipped at the start with Goodyear cords all around, with two extras for emergencies. To date 11,300 miles have been covered without a single misantha to either the tires or the machine. BUY FULLERTON STORE One of the most important business deals in Fullerton retail circles reported in some time was closed today when the Hartman cafeteria and bakery, at 216 North Spadra passed from the ownership of D. C. Hartman to the Excelsior Creamery Co. of Santa Ana. The new owners have a chain of stores and will establish in Fullerton in their new business stand one of the most elaborate restaurants and stores for the sale of their products in southern California. The Excelsior Creamery Co. will also have a similar establishment in Anahiem. Mr. Hartman stated today that the transfer of the bakery and the cafeteria would be effected in about 50 days. The cafeteria feature of this place will probably be discontinued, because of a change in the plans of the creamery company to introduce improved restaurant features, with their own products used in the preparation of the menus. by the children and the Fullerton Choral Club under the direction of Thomas Askin will make its debut.

COUNTY MEN FORM NEW OIL COMPANY An Orange county corporation, to drill in the Huntington Beach field is the newly organized Rolca Chica Petroleum corporation. This company is said to have some excellent leases in the beach field. In the possibilities offered in the asserted advantageous leases secured in the heart of the Huntington Beach field by this new corporation, the directors feel that they have what they call “the passport to prosperity” for the investor. C.A.Bocege, of Anaheim, is president of the new corporation. F.J.Abbott, a mining and oil operator of Los Angeles, is the manager of the company and vice-president. M.C.Goff, of Anaheim, is secretary and treasurer. Included in the list of directors of the corporation are a number of other Orange-co men. No rigs have been started yet by the new corporation as the officials are waiting to see what location will prove best for the first well. A unique method of keeping stockholders informed of the progress of the drill when the well is started is planned. A log of the ground through which the drill will pass will be supplied to each stockholder. Slips telling the nature of the material through which the drill is passing and at what depth will be issued each week and may be pasted on the may, giving a graphic illustration as the work progresses.

Resolutions against the Ecden bill were prepared by a committee composed of John Knox, Earl Matthews, Joe Stout and Paul Price, appointment of the committee following a motion that resolutions be drafted. The resolutions are as follows: "Whereas, it has come to the attention of the members of the Orange County Automobiles Trades association that there has been proposed in the legislature of the state of California, by Senator Walter Eden, a bill to levy a tax on all new automobile tires sold within the state; and "Whereas, we, the members of this association, feel this tax is unjust inasmuch as it applies to only one line of business conducted within this state, while the revenue derived therefrom is to be applied for the benefit of the citizens in general, and for this reason borders on class legislation; and "Whereas, the proposed tax would be a great handicap to the manufacture and sale of auto tires within the border of our state; therefore, be it. "Resolved, by the members of this association, in regular meeting assembled, thats the Orange County Automobile Trades association place itself on record as opposing such legislation, whether relative to automobile tires or on any other individual line, and that this association uses its active influence to defeat the proposed law." The various crafts of the association have passed resolutions similar to this. The next meeting of the organiza- truck and its subsequent destruction by fire, L. L. Conkle of Santa Ana, yesterday was given a preliminary hearing before Justice Cox. The truck which burned was the property of the Boulevard Express company. It was valued at about $2,000, and according to a representative of the express company, the contents, consisting of theatrical goods, bound for the Hippodrome theatre, San Diego, were valued at approximately $10,000. The accident occurred just south of San Juan Capistrano about 5 a.m. Dec. 16. FASTOR ADDRESSES KIWANIANS Kiwanians were interested today in the announcement that the Rev. F. W.

Assessors Preparing King Bill Substitute Preparations are being made by county assessors of California for meeting an ad valorem tax, which they have been informed by the state board of equalization, will be imposed in case the King tax bill is not passed by the legislature. "Particular effort is to be directed toward bringing the assessments of public utility franchises to where they ought to be," said County Ass- meeting will be held at San Bernardino next Monday. Assessors from Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties will be present. Members of the Orange county board of supervisors will attend the meeting. "There are a few persons who think that even if the King tax bill should fall," said Sleeper, "no ad valorem tax will be levied. I wish there was ground for that belief, for I don't believe the people should be called on to pay this tax. I can see no reason to doubt that an ad valorem tax will be levied. The governor in his address here said that it would be levied, that it would be necessary in case the King tax bill, which purposes to raise the rate of taxation upon corporate property, fails to carry. The clinching factor in convincing me that there certainly will be an ad valorem tax came in a letter that was sent out to all of the county assessors by the state board of equalization. That letter instructed the assessors to make all preparations for an ad valorem tax. It said there would be an ad valorem tax in case the King bill falls. Our instructions are to proceed at once in our preparations to extend assessments on franchises and other corporate property not hitherto assessed by the counties. In order to meet the situation that will be developed should the King bill fail. I have called the conference of Southern California assessors." WILL YOU ASSIST BOY SCOUT DRIVE? "Will you put your shoulders to the wheel and help the Boy Scouts organization?" That is the question that was being put today to numbers of Anaheim and Orange-co people who believe in the Boy Scout movement. For the Boy Scouts work in Orange-co, begun last September, is in a critical condition financially. This fact was brought out at a meeting of the county council of the Boy Scouts, and, as a result, men who realize the value of the Boy Scout movement were being asked today to help put the Boy Scouts organization on its feet so far as finances are concerned. According to reports made to the county council, the opportunity to organize boys into Boy Scout troops has been soized upon in communities throughout the county. Under the leadership of the county executive, Elmer E. Heldt, the number of troops in the county has been increased from four troops when Heildt took hold last October, to twenty troops. The number of boys actually taking the character-building training afforded in Boy Scout work has been increased from forty to 400. That number will very soon be raised to 500. But the financial end of the organization has been lagging. That has not been due, it appears, to any lack of desire on the part of the financial advisors of the organization to make a canvass, but rather because it was thought advisable to wait until the people of the county had been given a demonstration of Assessors Preparing King Bill Substitute Preparations are being made by county assessors of California for meeting an ad valorem tax, which they have been informed by the state board of equalization, will be imposed in case the King tax bill is not passed by the legislature. "Particular effort is to be directed toward bringing the assessments of public utility franchises to where they ought to be," said County Assessor James Sleeper. "Hitherto county assessors have paid no attention to assessment of classes of property subject only to a state tax. The state law provides that when an ad valorem tax is declared, all classes of property are subject to that tax collectable through the county officials. It is possible that the words 'all classes of property,' will be construed to include even some of the personal exemptions hitherto allowed." In order that there may be uniformity of methods in the assessment of franchises and other corporate property, Sleeper, as president of the State Assessors' association, has called a meeting of Southern California county assessors.

That number will very soon be raised to 500. But the financial end of the organization has been lagging. That has not been due, it appears, to any lack of desire on the part of the financial advisors of the organization to make a canvass, but rather because it was thought advisable to wait until the people of the county had been given a demonstration of the need of scouting, until troops were organized and the work of making real men out of boys was under way. "The demonstration has taken place," it was pointed out. "It is taking place every time a boy picks up his Boy Scout manual; it is taking place every time a boy, remembering his scout obligations, goes out of his way to do an act of kindness or of courtesy, every time he goes to a scout meeting and is imbued with the principles of citizenship and right living and right thinking for which the movement, of which he is a part stands." The time has now come for those responsible for financing the work to do their part, to finish their job. It is believed that there are dozens of men and women in Santa Ana who will contribute to the Boy Scout work, now that they understand its needs. It was stated today that anyone desiring to contribute may send a check or money to any member of the finance committee. OLIVE ASSN.
