KATELLA SCHOOL CAL. BEAUTY FOUND IN ANAHEIM From a model's extra to the guest of statesmen nad merchant princes in yachts, casinos and hotels of world fame, within two years, and only 19, this is the amazing career of beautiful petite Katherine Grant, first discovered by Sidney Prince, of the local Prince Store, then taken in hand by that prince of impressarios, "Doc" H. E. W. Barnes, and made locally famous by the two California Valencia Orange shows, then a successful contestant in the "Examiner" beauty show and now feted at Atlantic City, as one of America's beauties of face and figure. Annaheim can well claim the discovery of this bewitching Miss, for Sidney first saw her early in 1921, and immediately picked her for his bevy of fashion models. From model to performer was a slight step, for those who believe "Doc" Barnes has an eye only to Circassion walnut highboys, bees and rugs, have many other guesses coming. Sid says he had trouble in keeping Katherine in her class as a fashion mould as soon as "Doc" rubbed his eyes and found her so perfect. Katherine is now traveling in the east, being gowned by some of the greatest creators of feminine apparel, filming as it is—and sculptors are vying with one another for sitting at POSTPONE PICNIC The big Orange-co picnic and get-together frolic planned by the K. of Pts. has been dropped on account of the lack of interest and co-operation on the part of the members of the various lodges.

DWYER FEARS BAD PRECEDENT "I fear a bad precedent has been established in building parts of the new city hall beyond the building line if only for a few inches," says J. J. Dwyer, former mayor. "The sidewalks are none too wide now." "What can the council say when a private citizen proposes to erect a building on the sidewalk?" continues Dwyer, who believes because of the precedent, the city would find its hands tied in any court action to force back buildings which now extend several feet into the street. "I cannot understand the delay in straightening out the building lines on Center-st west of Lemon-st as I personally signed up everyone but the Knights of Pythias, before I left the council two years ago. I didn't bother with the K. of P.'s because I considered they would readily agree to the wider street plan." HOAG FUNERAL MONDAY George S.
