NEWS OF FULLERTON FULLERTON B. OF T. ENJOYS BANQUET The semi-annual ladies' night was observed last evening at the monthly meeting of the Fullerton B. of T. in the Fullerton club rooms. A banquet was served at 6:30 o'clock by students of the Fullerton grammar schools. F. C. Krause, president of the board, commented on the pretty faces of the waiters, and also on the general good looks of the grammar school faculty. L. E. Plummer, principal of the high school, declared he had taken a peep into Mr. Krause's notes and that he had had a similar statement written out about the high school faculty. "But when he saw Marsden come in, shook his head," Mr. Plummer declared. "Then, when he saw Boyd, he shook his head some more. Then when he saw Culp and I comely, he said, 'That settled it.' It will never do." Mr. Krause declared Mr. Plummer is a mand reader. Following the luncheon there was a program rendered by the faculty of the Fullerton grammar schools under the direction of Miss Dorothy Brown, teacher in the music department. Miss Abell sang two numbers, "Boys must wait and wait and wait" and "Look what somebody did." On encore, she sang "When Pa or Ma Is Sick." Miss Butterfield sang "May Morning" and "I know a lovely garden," and Miss Dorothy Brown "The Usual Way," and "The Game of Make-Helieve." The last of the renditions, "My Mammy," was given by the whole trio. Mrs. Douglas and Miss Olson accompanied on the piano. J. H. Daniels and Charles Sutherland were admitted as new members. It was announced that the P. E. has decided to take the much mooted sign off the bridge over Spadra-rd. It was also announced that the Northern Orange-co school fair will be held on the high school campus in Fullerton May 28. C. R. Hutchinson of the So. Calif., Edison Co., made a farewell at the Fullerton high school auditorium Friday night, it was announced. The speaker of the evening was Leslie Henry, of Pasadena, who told of his recent visit to Australia and New Zealand and his impressions received there. He predicted an early collapse of Australian industrialism, but stated that New Zealand is taking the safe road of conservatism. Australia on the other hand has built up a superficial industry, which must crumble away. FULLERTON PLANS TO RAISE TAXES When the Fullerton city budget comes up for discussion next month, the tax levy of the city may be raised from 95 cents to $1.00, according to trustees, in order to meet the necessary improvements, the most important of which are bridges and roads. The tax levy for Fullerton is now the lowest in the state except in one small city in the north. With the opening or new sub-divisions, which necessitate new roads and the replacing of some of the old bridges across the branches, and the building of a new bridge or two, the funds are not to be adequate unless the levy is raised to $1.00. It will only mean a five-cent raise which will not mean much to the individual taxpayer but as a whole will add much needed money to the treasury for needed improvements. One of the most important improvements that must be made is a bridge across the Baranca on Highland-ave, near the new grammar school which, it is estimated, will cost $14,000. It is planned to build this bridge during the summer before the fall term of school opens. The matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the board of trustees.

Moore of the Federation of Woman's Clubs, stated that "The Marriage of the Indian Maiden" episode of "The Quest of Womanhood" will be filmed in Orange-co. Mrs. Moore will be the bride.

It is planned to build this bridge during the summer before the fall term of school opens. The matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the board of trustees. FINDS GOLDEN CLUSTER Talk about Valencias growing profusely in this district! Orange county beats the world. Just to prove it, Secretary W. H. Irwin of the Fullerton board of trade went out to the ranch of J. L. Marshail, one and a quarter miles out on the north side of East Chapman and cut a small twig from one of the orange trees there. The twig contained 18 magnificent full developed Valencias, ripened and rosey in the golden sunshine of our glorious southland. They were as pretty as a picture and of course the booster spirit persuaded Secretary Irwin to have a photograph taken forthwith.

A. A. sanction. This car will be on display in the show rooms of Arthur S. Kemman, Saxon distributor for Orange-co, who is now located in the Alexander building, N. Los Angeles-st. This car, a Saxon-Duplex stock model in every feature except the Yosemite mud which it carries, made the 400 odd miles through rain, hail, fog and mud on 15 7-8 gallons of fuel, three pints of oil, and a gallon and a half of water. The actual mileage per gallon of gas was 25.9. The results of this test were not a surprise to Saxon-Duplex owners who are familiar with this machine's ability to stand punishment, and its wonderful performance in mountain work and hill climbing stunts it has performed. It would be hard to duplicate the road conditions under which the test was run on the beautiful paved highways of Orange-co, but the fact that the public of Orange-co appreciate the meaning of the performance has been demonstrated to the complete satisfaction of Mr. Kemman in the few days he has made his home in Anaheim. SEEK COMMITTEE TO JUDGE AVOCADOES Avocados at California Valencia show will be judged by a committee to be named later, Mr. E. E. Knight of Yorba Linda, in charge of this interesting exhibit, hopes to have Arthur Stanley of Placentia, L. M. Beck of La Habra and E. A. White of Santa Ana as judges. These men stand high in the avocado business. The two first named are growers of long standing and the latter handles the fruit in large quantities from Orange-co, avocado orchards. A silver cup and $10.00 goes to the exhibitor showing the best orchard exhibit and there are a number of smaller prizes.
