Stark, Godfrey Stock and Howard Gates and City Manager O. E. Steward spent all of yesterday visiting public parks at Pomona, Covina, Alhambra and Pasadena to obtain ideas for the immediate development of Anaheim's new 20-acre park. They paid particular attention to swimming pools which they found in all instances to be self-sustaining. The finest plunge was found in the new park at Alhambra, where there were 57,000 patrons in last season. It is a lrage and clean pool A HAPPY NEW YEAR happy Councilmen Wm. Stark, Godfrey Stock and Howard Gates and City Manager O. E. Steward spent all of yesterday visiting public parks at Pomona, Covina, Alhambra and Pasadena to obtain ideas for the immediate development of Anaheim's new 20-acre park. They paid particular attention to swimming pools which they found in all instances to be self-sustaining. The finest plunge was found in the new park at Alhambra, where there were 57,000 patrons in last season. It is a lrage and clean pool with service and dressing rooms finished with stucco walls and tile roofs along Spanish lines. At Alhambra the Anaheim councilmen were attracted by the number of features which have been contributed by various organizations of that city. For instance, there is a magnificent wading pool bearing a bronze tablet "Presented for the pleasure of the little children of Alhambra by Walter P. Temple." A drinking fountain was given by the Odd Fellows lodge while a rustic bridge of heavy timber which spans a creek was presented by the Woodmen of the World. The Round Table club, Order of Eastern Star and P-T. A. have provided shelters with cement picnic tables and benches. Many of these features have been dedicated to Alhambra service men. A tall steel flag pole stands as a tribute from school children who contributed their nickels. Anaheim councilmen are determined not to make the mistake of making the plunge too small. This has been a common error in other So. Cal. parks and expensive enlargements have been necessary. Pasadena is now facing such a situation. The local plunge will be 50x150. The water will flow from the plunge into wading pools and lagoonos. It would be necessary to install a separate sprinkling system to use such water for the lawn as the state board of health prohibits hooking up with city mains. DIST. ATTY. NELSON WARNS DRUGGISTS Continuing the application of the Wright act to Orange County officials, county officials today declared war not only on physicians who used prescriptions to provide intoxicants to friends and relatives, but upon druggists. City officials in Santa Ana, Orange and it is understood other cities, as well as county officials will make a careful check on pharmacies and physicians. A general watch of such places is intended, City Marshal Claude Rogers of Santa Ana indicated. District Attorney A. P. Nelson said that such offenders would receive no mercy, any more than any other offenders, and reiterated his intention to enforce the Wright act. THE Plain Dealer extends heartiest wishes to the good people of Anaheim and No. Orange co. for continuance in the New Year of all the good things that have made this section among the most prosperous in the world. There will be no issue of The Plain Dealer Monday, New Year's Day. MIDNIGHT SHOW TO WELCOME NEW YEAR AT THE CALIFORNIA Whoop 'er up! Let 'er go!! Happy New Year!!! That's just a sample of what's coming tomorrow night starting at 11:30 o'clock, when the California theater stages Anaheim's first real midnight frolic. Anticipating the fact that Anaheim is just as metropolitan as any of the larger communities, the theater management has arranged to stage a midnight vaudeville revel-show with five dandy "big time" vaudeville acts to cheer up the celebritants. The headliners of this array of talent will be the California four, consisting of four harmony lads who present tuneful melodies much to the enjoyment of the listeners. They will prove a big hit, it is certain. Jean and Mack, world famous dancers, direct from New York City, will offer several of their newest dance creations de luxe. Judging by their advance notice, this pair will be knockouts tomorrow night. Hackett and Burke have a screamingly funny comedy act, and are sure to be in for a big share of the applause. Frank Curran and Co. will present a whirlwind athletic act. They have a highly skilled offering andANAHEIM KNIGHTS AND LEGION PLAY BASEBALL SUNDAY Anaheim Knights of Columbus and Anaheim Post 72, American Legion, are lined up for a fast game Sunday on the high school grounds.

Nelson said that such offenders would receive no mercy, any more than any other offenders, and reiterated his intention to enforce the Wright act to the limit. Sheriff C. E. Jackson called attention to the fact that because bootlegging does not become a felony under the Wright act, but only a high misdemeanor at worst, extradition of offenders is impossible. Dierkers Entertain Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Dierker entertained with a dinner party last evening, wherein turkey formed the foundation for a sumptuous repast. Christmas spirit found expression in the table decorations, the tiny tree, lighted with colored tapers, and flanked on either side with big red candles in cut glass holders.

TO STERILIZE FEEBLE MINDED MOTHER MILWAUKEE, Dec. 30. — Arlene Brandt, 30 alleged feebleminded, today faced a sterilization operation following her arraignment in court here on a charge of killing her fifth illegitimate child. Operations of the kind are permitted on feebleminded persons under a state statute. It would be the first time this statute would be invoked, officials gold. A commission of sanity experts pronounced Miss Brandt feebleminded; pronounced Miss Brandt feebleminded; and recommended that she be placed in an institution and the operation performed. Acting on the recommendation, Judge A. C. Backus ordered her removal to the Southern home at Union Grove. Whether the operation will be performed rests with the state board of control, granted such powder by the statute.

Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Duckworth and son John were in Los Angeles last evening as dinner guests of Mr. Duckworth's brother Guy, and family.

Up to noon today, the office of J. W. Price, building inspector, reported 660 permits had been issued in December for a total of $128,935 new construction. It was expected that this afternoon a permit for the $12,000 Schulte garage on So. Los Angeles-st. would be issued, bringing the total to $140,935. December permits, like the big majority for a number of months, includes a great many new homes, notable among them the $20,000 F. C. Rimpau residence on W. Broadway and the $15,000 home for Mrs. Adolph Rimpau on Melrose-st. December permits included 33 residences, some of which were duplexes. CUT COST OF PARENTAL SCHOOL The building of the County Juvenile Home may be responsible for a general state act governing such institutions, it was revealed by county officials today. The rough draft of December permits, like the big majority for a number of months, includes a great many new homes, notable among them the $20,000 F. C. Rimpau residence on W.

Building permits will be given a big boost early in January when construction starts on the third big Kraemer-bldg, on East Center-st., fronting Center-st., 150 feet and Philadelphia-st., 90 feet. It will be the largest and most up-to-date building in Anaheim, completely fire-proof throughout, including the apartments on the second and third floors, where the floors will be covered with battleship linoeum.

ANAHEIM ATTEMPTS SPORTS COMEBACK Art Mann, veteran basketball player, will be able to don his basket ball togs in time for the Orange Casaba season which starts Jan. 5. The game will be played with Whittier on their court. According to dopesters, Anaheim possesses all the qualities of a championship quintet and will give the other schools a surprise.

Elliott knows basketball from A to Z and will convey all ideas to his protégés. Homer Wallace, also one of last year's players, will be a new clotimer out. Wallace has not been in any of the serambles yet but will be shining among the stars in several weeks. PARENTAL SCHOOL The building of the County Juvenile Home may be responsible for a general state act governing such institutions, it was revealed by county officials today. The rough draft of the act has been framed, following a conference with Mark Keppel, county superintendent of schools, of Los Angeles, yesterday. It will provide for state aid to defray the cost of common school instruction in the school, a brand new departure in such institutions. If obtained, the cost per pupil per month will be cut from $40-$45 to $20-$25. Those in the conference were County Probation Officer R. R. Miller, County Superintendent of Schools R. P. Mitchell and A. J. Cranston, Santa Ana City Superintendent of Schools Keppel, who is close to State Superintendent of School Will Wood, was enthusiastic about the project. Dr. C. D. Ball, assemblyman from this district, and Senator Walter Eden will be instructed to introduce the bills. Delinquents strictly and not dependants will be put into the schools, Superior Judge R. Y. Williams, who is also juvenile judge, acting within his own discretion, stated. Boys, for instance, could be committed as they now are to Ione. ANAHEIM EXCHANGE GROWING RAPIDLY Toll calls of the Anaheim exchange of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. gained in December by 53 daily over November, District Manager E. A. Beard said today.

Anaheim's gain for the year in telephone stations, predicted by Beard at 20 per cent or better, was more than 22 per cent, amounting to 313. The exchange started the year with 1406 stations. Unless all signs fall, Anaheim's percentage gain will be the largest of any exchange in the Pacific Telephone Co.'s system, except Burbank, Culver City and Paso Robles. N. Y. TAXI DRIVERS OPPOSE HONOR PLAN NEW YORK, Oct. 30—Taxi drivers of New York City raised a cry against the plan to establish a Taxi-cab Drivers' Legion of Honor. By this system the police will keep record of the violations of the law ATTEMPT TO BRIBE COUNTY OFFICIALS The closing of vicious public dance halls in the county, which will be effected by an ordinance that goes into operation Feb. 15, revealed today that attempts at bribery of county officers had been made by at least one of the proprietors of these places. The owner of the worst place in the county, following the passage of the county ordinance, went to District Attorney A. P. Nelson and sought for mercy. Nelson told him the ordinance would be enforced reluctlessly. In an interview Nelson called these places nests of immorality, "perverting the morals of our young men." He declared the women frequenting them as "instructors" and guzzling drinks were women of the streets. Santa Fe as well as Delhi and Huntington Beach has such a place, he declared, and all three places differ from the old pioneer dance hall only in the fact that the girls get a percentage on dances instead of on drinks.
