NEWS OF FULLERTON MANY FROM OUTSIDE AT FULLERTON H. S. A gratifying feature of the enrollment now going on at the Fullerton high school is the number of new students coming in from outside points, being greater by far than in any previous year in the history of the school. Almost every day applications are being made by boys and girls whose people have recently moved into the district, furnishing another index to the growth of population during the past year. In cases where the applicants present credit cards from schools previously attended, they are promptly enrolled and assigned; otherwise they are put upon a sort of contingent list until their cases can be investigated and their rating determined. About 550 students have been enrolled thus far for the year beginning Sept. 12, and the expectation is that it will run to between 600 and 650 by the close of the opening day, an increase of from 50 to 100 over last year's enrollment. In the Junior College they are quite confident of registering 100 students, which will give them an increase of about 25 per cent over last year. The members of the faculty, 43 in number, will all be in Fullerton the week before beginning date for the official meetings and conferences that precede the opening, in order that the program may be fully developed and understood in advance of the date set for the start. The work of getting the buildings and grounds in shape is going steadily forward and it is confidently stated that everything will be in readiness when the time comes to get the business going. A dozen or 15 men, gardnerers, carpenters and other craftsmen are employed about the school at present, the program of remodeling and renovating involving the expenditure of several thousand FULLERTON SHIPS 18 CARS THIS WEEK Fullerton orange shipments made another drop this week to 18 cars, the American Fruit Growers Inc., making no shipments and the other houses running at only partial capacity.

The building permit activities of Fullerton are holding up well, according to Building Superintendent Richman, and he is of the opinion that August ordinarily regarded as a dult month in most lines of trade will make a very good showing. The number for the month thus far has been right up along with the other summer months and there are still several days to go.

BUT ONE FIRE WITHIN YEAR With eight months of the year practically gone and the fire department called upon to handle but one small fire, the citizens of Fullerton have every reason to congratulate themselves on so remarkable a record. There have been but two calls during that period and one of those was turned in by a nervous citizen who mistook the smoke from a kettle of roofing tar for a house fire. The other was a bona fide fire, all right, altho of small dimensions, resulting in the destruction of a small tent house in W. Commonwealth ave on a windy morning in March. SEAL BEACH PLANS BIG BATHING PARADE SEAL BEACH, Aug. 27. — Seal Beach is planning an Intercommunity Bathing Girls' Revue to be given Sunday, Sept. 18, under the auspices of the C. of C. It is to be entirely different from the ordinary event of this kind, for everything that savors of professionalism will be eliminated. There is to be no hiring of motion picture actresses nor will any of the prize winners be selected in advance. The contest will be for girls of Orange-co and vicinity. This will include Long Beach, Artesia, Downey, Norwalk, and other places close to the Orange-co line. Los Angeles girls will not be permitted to enter unless it is shown that Seal Beach is their favorite bathing beach. It is planned by the C. of C. to have three judges—one from Santa Ana, one from Anaheim and one from Long Beach. The prizes will be awarded to the girls who look the nicest in their bathing suits. There will also be prizes for the communities represented by the largest number of girls. Entry blanks may be had by addressing Chairman of the Special Events Committee, or Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Seal Beach, Calif. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing The Orange County Plain Dealer COUNTRY DISTRICTS HUNGRY FOR BOOKS Rural districts of Orange-co are hungry for books. A keen edge has been put on their appetite by Miss Margaret E. Livingston, county librarian, who since her arrival here three weeks ago, has toured the county as preparation for her active work. The report Miss Livingston brings back to her headquarters in the office of the farm bureau is that everyone she has visited is eager for the county free library to begin operations. Miss Livingston is full of enthusiasm for her work. "From Brea to San Juan Capistrano I found people eager to take advantage of the library," said she, "Garden Grove union high school, San Juan Capistrano union high school and San Juan Capistrano grammar school have signed resolutions merging their school library funds into the treasury of the county library. "It must be announced emphatically that the county library will encoach in no way into the field of established libraries in or out of the incorporated communities. The county library is being organized solely for those people who are now being served by a regularly organized book distributing agency." "The purpose of the county library is to cover territory within the county that at present is without library facilities. Library custodians will be appointed at the various branches, and the headquarters in Santa Ana will supply the branches with books. "The communities or districts will be called upon to furnish their own reading rooms and to keep them in operation for the time being." "Later the county will take entire charge, that is, when the experimental stage is passed." "Civic bodies, school trustees and others have been interested in the proposed library and will have charge of its operations in their districts." Books will be distributed to the library districts that sign resolutions to combine with the county library, with materially increase the book supply. "Colusa-co, where I conducted an enterprise similar to this, had 20,000 books circulating through the county library to approximately 9000 people, according to the latest report. That was at the end of the library's fourth year. "The money for the purchase of books and operation of the library will be decided upon by the county supervisors, following the tax levy in September. Until then, on the advice of the district attorney, no purchases will be made. "It will be therefore, probably late in October before the books are put into circulation. They must be catalogued, before leaving this headquarters. "The character of the books to be circulated will be decided upon by those who are going to darm those who are going to read the books. Books will be purchased in line with requests from the various branches. "In this respect, it is of interest to note the character of the branches. At Brea, with its large population of oil workers, a reading room is to be established. The men have considerable time to themselves in the evening, and they desire the advantage of a reading room. At Seal Beach a reading room is not considered necessary." DO NOT APPROVE CENSORSHIP BILL VIENNA, Aug. 27.—The cinema proprietors and all connected with the film industry in Vienna are up in arms against the cinema censorship bill in its present form. They declare that it is totally false to start from the standpoint that the cinema gives untrue representations of life. To fix the age limit for cineagoers at 18 threatens the very existence of the industry. At a great meeting of the associations concerned it was stated by the president that, if this limit is persisted in all the cinemas will close their doors. SMASHUP DISCLOSES SHERIDAN QUALITY "Take it from me, the builders of the Sheridan sure used honest to goodness material in its construction," states "Bill." Houser of the Quality Motor Co., local distributors. "I always realized that the Sheridan was a quality product but an unfortunate smashup which occurred the other day furnished positive evidence of the merit of the materials in this car. "A reckless driver hit the car of one of our owners a square broadside, tearing a whole in the side big enough to drive a heavy duty truck through, a fender was given credentials for the junk heap while the foot board was very neatly dismantled. This Sheridan was given a 20 centimeter wallop yet, strange to say, the frame withstood the impact without showing the least damage and was as straight and true as when it left the factory. "The jagged hole also displayed the edges of the body metal which was of exceptionally heavy weight. It certainly is not the product of a tin can factory." Houser states that he would advise people from making this same test with their machine, however. Charges Against Worsdell Dropped Two felony charges brot against R. C. Worsdell of Huntington Beach have been dismissed on motion of the district attorney's office. The cases were set for preliminary hearing this afternoon. One complaint was filed by W. A. Goodwin of Fullerton who charged Worsdell with embezzlement of one unit of the Eden Syndicate, valued at $250. The other was sworn to by E. S. Scales of Brea, who charged check for $164.78. Worsdell with passing a worthless It is understood that an investigation made by the district attorney's office cleared up the suspicion that Worsdell has committed the alleged offenses.
