GERMANY HOLDS
CELEBRATION ON
HITLER TODAY
First Anniversary of His
Leadership Was Quietly
Observed in Germany

Berlin, Jan 80. (UP)-All Ger
many celebrated to-day, with sober
spirit in an atmosphere of quiet
| exaltation, the first anniversary of
Chancellor Adolf Hitler's accession
to power.
The celebration, in keeping with
the manifesto of Joseph Goebbells,
minister Of propaganda, was gen.
orally in contrast to the wild scenes
that marked the Nazi triumph a
year ago.
The most significant of the gov
ernment-planned events commence
rating the day, was the gathering
of the reichstag, not to legislate for
the nation as in the past, but to
obediently listen to Chancellor Hit
ler's report" on the. state of the
nation and to give silent affirmation
to his program.
Instead of the impressive torch
light parades and demonstrations
there was a national charity drive
and the distribution Of food and
coal to the poor.

bitter struggle in which Hitler had
been f1outed, scorned and laughed,
at for his political persistence, he
was called to the presidential pal
ace by General Paul Won linden
burg. He emerged chancellor.
Hitler began at dawn to restore
order out of the political chaos
that had created a tense situation
over a period of months. Whatever
his character or qualifications for
the title great" he had at least
saved Germany from potential
anarchy.
In the past year Hitler's name,
praised or reviled, has swept the
world. He has stamped out all OPP
position. He has sought to stamp
out ALI commercial, political and
cultural influence once held by the
Jewish population. He has per-
mitted, or obliged, the reichstag to
cut it's own throat, ending the par
liamentary system of government.
He has entrenched dictatorship.
In foreign fields, he has broken
from the League Of Nations and
demanded, with a loud voice, equal
ity of ornaments with the rest of
Europe.
So Germany celebrated to-day,
under a dictator, the first ami
versary of its new nationalism.

With furry of abbreviated skirts and flashes of shapely legs, the Rumba Chorus presented it. self to Nome, at the Eagle Hall, last Saturday night for the bene- fit of the Pilgrim Springs Mission.
 Such grace and originality has never before thrilled the audiences 3f this fair city.
 Ten various types of manly--er-- womanly beauty lightly danced their way to fame before the lau- shter racked crowd at the Rumba Nigh Club.
 The hall was crowded, every tabie taken and many left strand cd to st where they could crowd in. Many tables @were attractively decorated with flowers or candles, lending cabaret atmosphere.
 The program opened with tap dance executed by the Misses Rita OIeary and Geraldine Rude. As proof of their dancing ability they were encored again and again and We can say right now that two home town girls made good.
 Mrs. Frank Whaley's interpreta- tion of the Rumba was very much enjoyed and the encore with the chorus of 5'"lovely ladfes" was riot. The 7Coconut Grove has no- thing on the Ruln1a Night Club. its program was perfect.

FUNERAL SERVICES FOR & KENNETH sTANGRooM
 VERY IMPRESSIVE

Impressive funeral services were held Tuesday, Jan. 30. for Kenn- eth Ssangroom, at the Federated Church at 2p.m., the Rev Norman MeCay officiating. The church was crowded beyond is capacity by people from all walks of life to show their respect to the departed who passed away into the great beyond last Saturday morning af- ter a short illness from spinal men, ing.tis.
 The Rev. McCay in a most ap- propriate and effective eulogy brought his hearers to a full real ization of life and death and the beauties of the great beyond and numerous were the tears on the cheeks of his listeners.
 The many and beautiful floral offerings bore mute test .mony to the whole-souled love that this community felt for him. Not only was the fine casket literally cov- cred several feet deep, but flowers were suspended all around, as we'll improvised room, to the right of the pulpit, for the mourners) and flowers decorated the whole church, organ and pulpit.
 Besides the soul stirring sermon by Rev. McCay, other features of the service at the church were Richard Lees excellent rendering of an elegy on his violin, accom- panied on the organ by Mrs. An drew Sather and Robert Baldwin's s rendering, with much feeling, the funeral march. on the organ. The Misses Solv'g Rynning and Mar guerite Johnson sang swee'ly three fitting hymns.
 At the close of the funeral ser vices the Rev. McCay requested the audience to quie.ly retire while the mournersr spent last few minutes with their loved one.
 The cortege then wended it's way 10 Belmont Point cem etary, where the remains were placed in the re- ceiving vault, later to be shipped outside.
 The pallbearers were Kenneth's school mates, Alden Erwin, Alfred Lomen, Jr.. Norvin Lewis, Milton O'Farrell, James Walsh and Her bert Turner.
 Kenneth was the 12 year old son of MT. and Mrs. Stuart L. Stangroom and grandson of Mr.. and Mrs. !. S. Stangroom.

CLAIMS LIFE
IN ARIZONA

FLORENCE, Ariz, Aug. 81. W.H
Arizona s lethal gas chamber
claimed its fourth victim today
when Louis S. Douglass, former
New York taxi driver, was .execut-
ed for the desert murder of Ralph
Hart, aged proSpector.
While thunderclapS and light
ming warned OF brewing rain
storm outside the gray walls OF
states prison, Douglass walked sto-
ica!ly up the IL steps to the gas
chamber at 1890 a. m. tMST),
In nine minutes he was uncon-
sclous and eight minutes later, ut
12:4712, he was pronounced dead.
Douglass maintained his nerve to
the last, although he always has
insisted he was innocent of Hart s
Staying. The proSpector IS body
and that OF partner, were found
in the desert of Northern Yuma
county, and Douglass, their COM
panion, was tried and convicted.
Every appeal for clemency failed.
In the intervening hours Douglass
wrote to his wife Julia for the last
time. She lies seriously i'll in AS
toria, Long Island, New York.
Then with his sister, Mrs. Bess
McQuiston of Oakland, Calf, and
her daughter, who have been his

County farm debt adjustment
committees set up in California to
avert foreclosures and secure vol
untary settlement of farm debts
are now saving homes and prop
erty of many farmers in the state,
according to a report OF t. c.
Tucker, chairman of the State
Farm Debt Adjustment Committee.
The report indicates that the
claims settled in the state invol-
we'd debts totaling many thousands
of dollars. For the country as
whole the debt adjustment COM
mittees have worked cut volun-
tary settlements of cases involving
well over s100,000,000 OF indebted
ness.
: Some of the committees have
settled go to 90 per cent of all
cases brought to them. When a
case cannot be settled the farmer
can obtain the advice of the COM
mittee as to further procedure.
/ The report Of the state commit
tee outlines the four steps which
/ distressed farmers may take to
secure an adjustment of their debts.
The first step-and this is the one
followed by most farm debtors
is to try to arrange a settlement
directly with their creditors through
their own efforts.
When this is impossible the Sec
ond step for the farmer is to take
his finance problem TO the county
farm debt adjustment committee
This action gives the farmer the
benefit of the advice of a respon-
sible body of local men serving
on a voluntary basis.
No Charge For Aid
If the county committee is un-
able to secure a voluntary set
tlement, the third step for the debt
or is TO apply to the county con-
ciliation commissioner. The con-
citation commissioner attempts tc
work out a settlement which vii
be satisfactory to a majority oi
the creditors. both in number anc
amount. With their approval thu
court may then make the settle
ment binding on unsecured minor
ity creditors.
The fourth step which the debto
may take after all other effort
have failed is to file petition IL
bankruptcy under the Frazier
Lemke amendment. Under the pro
visions of this amendment tn
debtor may be allowed to retain
possession of his farm for per
iod of either five or six years
During this period he must max
certain payments annually.
