Receives $2149 From State Fund The second state apportionment of school funds, just announced by Will C.

Large Audience Hears Choral Society Concert A large audience was present last evening at the Methodist White Temple when the Choral Society gave the second and what was considered the best program in a series of concerts they have been giving. The chorus numbers were composed of Mr. Maurice Phillips, of sacred music, Shelley, and were well rendered, the solo parts taken by members of the choir. An added feature was the appearance of Mr. Mourice Phillips, of Santa Ana, whose splendid bass voice with its wonderful dramatic power and religious fervor charmed his Realtors. He was greeted with generous applause. His rendering of "The Publican," and "Fear Not Ye Oh Israel" were especially fine. The closing number was a selection by the Men's Glee Club, which was very good. The organization, while new, is meeting with marked success. The last concert to be put on by the Choral Society will be given March 18th in the high school auditorium when the Men's Glee Club of the Univ. of So. Calif. will give the program. A silver offering taken last night netted a good sum. SEEKS ANNULMENT RIDGE OIL CO. HITS SAND AT 2917 FEET The Ridge Oil Co. is the latest to bring in a well in the Placentia-Richfield district.
