NEWS OF FULLERTON FRESH VOLUMES AT FULLERTON LIBRARY Among the new books to be ready for circulation Saturday evening at the Fullerton public library at 6 o'clock is "The Mirrors of Washington," a book that is being widely read and discussed. It contains 14 crisp, critical, brilliant characterizations of prominent statesmen in Washington today. The author, who does not reveal his identity, speaks in plain English, and does not mince matters. The minds, hearts and souls of the great men of America are dissected, Miss Minnie Maxwell, librarian, announced. "Woodrow Wilson as I know him," by Joseph P. Tumulty is one of the important new books. The author worked in unusually intimate relations with Wilson during the most important American decade since Lincoln; he was Wilson's secretary from 1913 to 1921, and his book is not only an interesting human document but has great historical value. Other books of non-fiction are: Ballatine, Preparation of contracts and conveyances with forms and problems; Botsford, Folk songs of many peoples with the music and with the English versions by American poets; Cady, General chemistry; Crawford, Ave Roma Immortalis; Studies from the chronicles of Rome; Jennings, Paints and varnishes, with special reference to their properties and uses; Mackle, Education during adolescence; Headland, Some by-products of missions; Klapper, Teaching children to read; McCoy, Introduction to general chemistry; McClauflin, Sewing handicraft for girls; Nickel, Stencliling; Phelps, Essays on modern dramatists; Platt, Practical hints on playwriting; Price, Q.

This includes the water works extension bonds, which will soon be taken from the treasury fund, since the pipes for the work are now beginning to arrive. 38 REGISTERED AT FULLERTON BALL Voters to the number of 38 have registered to date at the city hall in showing that citizens are not making any break-neck scramble to get to the polls. But it is estimated that if the Republican vote thrust the U.S. could be measured by the percentage of the Republican voters in Fullerton there would be another national landslide at the next election. Fullerton is standing true to the G. O. P. This may sound like Friday, the 13th, to Democrats.

S. BY WALBERG TRIO The Walberg Trio, the Fullerton high school's popular musical performers, forgot that today was Friday the 13th, evidently, and went right ahead giving one of the best musical programs of the season at the high school assembly this morning. The trio was made up of Harold Walberg, violinist; Ida Shrode, cellist, and Clara Schaaf, pianist, assisted by Miss Jessie Lucile Gibbs of Los Angeles, coloratura-soprano, and Mrs. Halbert Thomas, accompanist. Miss Gibbs came down in the cause of music without any financial inducement, and Mr. Walberg felt very fortunate to have been able to obtain her services. She has a very beautiful voice, and displays much ease and grace in rendition, and exhibits splendid voice control. She gave a varied program to her audience, showing herself by her remarkable adaptation to them to be quite a psychologist. She is much interested in Orange-co and the music department of the Fullerton high school. The Walberg trio is said to be the best this side of Los Angeles, and it is the purpose of Mr. Walberg to make it one of the best in the country. The following program was rendered: I. Romance, Marschner, 1795-1861, Walberg String Trio. II. (a) La Girometta, Sibellus; (b) Kiss Me Again; encore, Shadow March; (c) Pale Moon, Logan, Miss Gibbs. III.

(a) Told at Twilight, Huerter; (c) Minuet, Haydn, 1732-1809. ORNAMENTAL LIGHT SYSTEM TURNED ON Fullerton, last night for the first time in its history was lighted by ornamental lights. The lights have just been gotten up in the business section, and since they are not all completed yet there has been no formal opening. However, they were put on last night, and the people given a foretaste of what they are going to have. The sample was good—now bring on the dinner.

"Conflict," Priscilla Dean's first Universal picture, will be the feature offering at the California Theatre starting today. It rings true to it's name from beginning to end, for it is brimful of excitement, suspense and the uncertainty which go to make up a superior.

FARMS GROW GRAPES California, with its variety of suitable climates, is so well adapted to the culture of grapes that it is possible to grow in the open, in some locality, all of the varieties used in the vineyards of the world. In 1928, over 22 per cent of all California farms were growing grapes, according to statistics gathered by the U. of C college of agriculture. ORANGE ROTARY HEARS FINE TALK The Orange Rotary club held its weekly meeting yesterday noon in Den o' Sweets, Mr. S. M. Green, veteran newspaper man, of Inglewood, addressing the body. He talked of the advantages of the smaller town over the city, in many lines, and of the municipally controlled utilities as it done in the active town, as against the manner of handling in the large cities. A pleasant surprise was the appearance of Miss Marie Dennis, a daughter of Orange, and a member of O. H. U. S. faculty, who gave two readings and was enthusiastically applauded. Assemblyman W. O: Hart was chairman of the meeting and introduced Miss Dennis as a "Sunkist" daughter. Falling to designate the spelling of "sunkist," he was immediately fined. F. A. Henderson, principal of the high school, who accompanied Miss Dennis, was fined for being the only man accompanied by a lady. Several other fines were imposed and cheerfully paid, which incidentally adds to the entertainment fund. The membership of the Orange Rotary has grown in three meetings, to the number of thirty members, captained by F. L. Moore and W. O. Hart and several other names will soon be added.
