BOY SCOUTS GIVE BIG SHOW MONDAY An open letter to the boys and girls of Anaheim and also to their fathers and mothers. Hello kids and grown ups! We just want to tell you that we are going to play a drama at the Fairyland Monday, Oct. 29th at both matinee and night performances. The play is being put on by the Boy Scouts of America and its name is "A Boy Scout". It is a good play and Mrs. Sanford Dodge is the director. We have been working hard on it for three weeks and the boys have all learned their parts and can speak them as well as most regular actors could. We know that there are lots of people who cannot come to the night show so we will give a matinee at 2:00 o'clock p.m. This matinee is given for the benefit of the boys and girls who cannot come at night but if any adults want to come in the afternoon we will be glad to see them too. The price of admission to our show will be 25 cents for children and 50 cents for adults at both matinee and night performances. Well we guess that will be about all except that we hope you will all come to see "A Boy Scout" given by the Anaheim Boy Scouts of America at the Fairyland Theatre Monday, Oct. 29th at either the matinee or night performance. Signed: Stillman Drake, Arthur Gross, Eric Brochert, Frank White, Thomas Phinny, Burney Lucas, Fred Einston, Louis James, Earl Prince, John Nylan Jee Ranker, John McDuell, Maynard Holmes, Meredith Hayden and a lot of other boys, actors in "A Boy Scout".

JACKSON'S Men's Wear Shop "Your Money's Worth Always" Anaheim ADOPTED BROTHER PLANS NEW PROBE SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25—John W. Schick, wealthy contractor of Birmingham, Ala., who came here in an attempt to ascertain whether the Schick family of Ohio could shed any light on his birth, said at noon today that Martin Schick, brother of the strangely missing Schick, repulsed him and acted in a peculiar manner when he sought an interview. John Schick was a foundling child, he says, and ever since his release from an orphanage at Cincinnati, 35 years ago, has sought to trace his parentage. He is retired, and maintains a summer home at 4219 East Fourth st., Long Beach. The contractor was angered by Martin Schick's manner, and declared he will start an independent in-flight destination. He hinted at the possibility that a portion of some estate may have been withheld from him in Ohio. Sheriff Byers gave it as his opinion that Schick's body may have been dismembered, boiled until the flesh disintegrated, the bones burned to crisp and the parts which could be identified, such as former fractures, dental work, etc., pulverized with a hammer before the disjointed skeleton was buried at various isolated points between La Jolla and Ensenada. Officers consider it unlikely that murderer would attempt to take complete body or skeleton across the boundary line as the Mexican customs officers at least cursorily search all automobiles which enter the interior below the southern outskirts of Tia Juana. Owing to uneffilement communication facilities with Ensenada, the sheriff said he did not expect to have a report from the searching party before late this afternoon.
