(Bulletin Photo) Two Assault Cases Reported in GG GARDEN GROVE — Police today are seeking assault and battery complaints against two persons involved in two different fights. Police said that one of the assaults, resulting from an undisclosed incident in Costa Mesa earlier happened five minutes after midnight at 13441 Flower St. today. According to police, after Miss Betty Hall and Donald E. Duplius, 24, returned from the El Toro Marine Base with James Poulos, 21, and Samuel Castanera, 20, they were reportedly attacked by an acquaintance. As Duplius was driving off from the Flower St. address, a car forced him into a nearby yard. When the man found the car door locked, he broke the window with his fist, police said. Police quoted Duplius as saying that he tried to talk to the man but instead was knocked to the ground. When Poulos made an attempt to calm the situation, he also received a blow in his eye. Police said that in the second case of assault and battery, Yolanda A. Hansler, 32, 1962 Ninth St., was attacked by her boyfriend's estranged wife. Miss Hansler apparently parked in front of her house, was scratched and hit when the woman drove up and entered Miss Hansler's car. According to police, Miss Hansler locked herself in her home, while the angry woman turned on the hose and put it under the door, flooding the home. Police said they also found four or five broken milk bottles in front of the door. $25 Legion Hall Lease Sought Here for Vets SANTA ANA (OCNS) — County The Bulletin ORANGE COUNTY NEWS SECTION B Friday, April 3, 1959 TEACHER — Leslie W.

The county has a policy of paying rent for veterans organizations in need of meeting halls. Variance Okayed In Annex Area SANTA ANA (OCN) — County planners this week decided to act upon two use variance applications that lie within an area that is to be officially annexed this month to Santa Ana. The action was a reversal of an earlier decision to not render an opinion because "it would be telling Santa Ana how its soon-to-be-acquired land should be used." The use variance application of A. H. Shipkey for construction of a service station on the corner of Edinger and Sullivan Streets was approved by a 4 to 1 vote with Commissioner Harry Blades of Garden Grove in opposition. Blades insisted that the county commission should not act upon the application because the area will become part of Santa Ana. The applicant, Shipkey, again pointed out that he had applied for the use variance before the annexation election was held. A similar use variance application, that of Sandy Steiner to establish a drive-in ice cream shop and an automatic laundry at Edinger and Center Streets, was denied by a 3 to 2 vote. His site is also within the area to be annexed to Santa Ana. Later in the planning commission meeting, the board discussed at length a permanent policy concerning variance applications on land that is in the process of being annexed. No conclusion was reached, and the matter was continued to a future date. Street Lighting Plans Rejected by Committee SANTA ANA (OCNS) — Three suggestions of Anaheim police L. E.

County Agriculture Service For Gross Value of P Valencia Oranges Top List of 14 Million-Dollar Crops, Study Shows By Orange County News Service Orange County, contrary to what a lot of people think, is still a high producing agricultural area, report county officials in an annual report. According to the figures in an annual report, 1958 reached an all time high as far as gross value. The combined gross value and agricultural products of the county, including livestock and apiculture, reached $113,863,650. This figure was 16 per cent above the corresponding figure for 1957; 4 per cent greater than the record set in 1951 and 15 per cent above the 10 year average between 1948-1958. The increase last year was attributed to higher returns for Valencia oranges, dairy cattle and calves, vegetable and field crops. Million dollar crops, 14 of them, were as follows: Valencia orange, $34,144,400; dairy industry, $25,499,300; chicken eggs, $15,729,000; lima beans (dry) $4,471,000; celery, $4,212,000; nursery stock & cut flowers $3,446,000; tomatoes, $2,328,200; strawberries, $2,167,900; lemons, $2,103,700; peppers, $1,638,400; beef cattle, $1,498,200; hatcheries, $1,499,000; avocados $1,195,500; and lettuce, $1,097,000. BP Planners OK Trailer Park, Home Project BUENA PARK — The planning commission had their work cut out for them in extra large chunks this week when the agenda stretched the session out until 2:05 a.m. As a result of the near-all night session, Buena Park might have one of the best looking trailer parks or mobile home developments in the county, and four new housing developments.

This return was only 2 per cent lower than 10 years average, 1948 - 1958. In addition to Valencia oranges, a substantial increase was noted for avocados and moderate increase was noted for avocados and moderate increases were had for grapefruit and persimmons. TRUCK CROPS The harvested acreage of truck crops increased 9 per cent while the gross income from truck crops, the highest ever recorded in the county, increased 23 per cent over 1957. Celery ranked first in total gross value, followed by strawberries, tomatoes, lettuce, and peppers. Although the acreage planted in strawberries in 1958 was 32 per cent greater than in 1957, late rains caused considerable loss in production and some loss in value. APICULTURE Due to better than normal conditions, honey produced in Orange County in 1958 was 124 per cent more than in 1957 and 159 per cent greater than the 5 year average, 1953 - 57. The number of producing colonies increased 6 per cent. Colony yield averaged almost double that of the preceding year. Total gross income for the honey produced, increased 104 per cent. FIELD CROPS Returns from field crops increased 46 per cent over 1957. Dry beans were again the most important field crop. Increased production of grain and hay resulted from ample rainfall and beans responded well to favorable growing conditions. NURSERY STOCK The gross returns from all classes of nursery stock advanced but little over the previous year. Value increases were noted for ornamentals, flat stock, and aquatic and potted plants. Cut-flower production was down, due to heat and wind damage loss. LIVESTOCK Although unit prices were high, million dollar crops, 14 of them, were as follows: Valencia orange, $34,144,400; dairy industry, $25,499,300; chicken eggs, $15,729,000; lima beans (dry) $4,471,000; celery, $4,212,000; nursery stock & cut flowers $3,446,000; tomatoes, $2,328,200; strawberries, $2,167,900; lemons, $2,103,700; peppers, $1,638,400; beef cattle, $1,498,-200; hatcheries, $1,499,000; avocados $1,195,500; and lettuce, $1-977,000.

LIVESTOCK Although unit prices were high, MILENA PARK — The planning commission had their work cut out for them in extra large chunks this week when the agenda stretched the session out until 2:05 a.m. As a result of the near-all night session, Buena Park might have one of the best looking trailer parks or mobile home developments in the county, and four new housing developments. For nearly two hours planners hemmed and hawed over details of a mobile homes development to be constructed at 7142 and 7162 Orangethorpe Ave. The designer of the modern layout,"Woodie" Reagan, of the firm of Reagan and Tebault of Santa Ana, answered questions fired at him by the planners who apparently were concerned over the dismissal of the previous planning body which was unseated when it approved a similar trailer park area. Before the question-answer period was up some of the lot sizes within the park were increased "to help maintain a lower population density area" and the fence in front of the park was set back 14 feet from the original site to help "beautify" the front. Not a Detriment It was pointed out by one of the developers, Melvin Perry, that the trailer park would in no way be a detriment to the location since it was adjacent to an equipment rental yard, a flood control ditch, and a rock supply firm. Also,Perry pointed out there is a lumber yard directly across the street. This statement was prompted by the concern by one of the planners over the trailer layout not being the best use of the area.Reagan termed the park,"A beauty among the beasts." The planners finally gave their recommendation for approval of the development which will have a recreation area in close to the front of the park and three trees to be planted in each trailer space.The spaces themselves will accommodate the largest mobile homes seen in trailer parks today.In other action the Wagner Development Co., of Los Angeles，reported it has sold the contro-versial property adjacent to the Knott Lincoln Shopping center to Moore Homes Co., whose tract map won approval recently in a city council meeting，complete with alley and all.The council had overridden the city's hired help's advice and OK'd the alley which caused no end of concern up until that time.The planners had rejected the tentative tract maps for the development to be installed inside the newly annexed "boot" area Garden Grove Day— p.m. Robert Watkins, Severely Lm., came to station tart his wheelbarrow stolen. p.m. Mrs. Merriam, 11751 iron called to report her found and returned to her manager of Alpha Beta Market.

NURSERY STOCK The gross returns from all classes of nursery stock advanced but little over the previous year. Value increases were noted for ornamentals, flat stock, and aquatic and potted plants. Cut-flower production was down, due to heat and wind damage loss. LIVESTOCK Although unit prices were higher, decreases in numbers of beef animals sold resulted in lower gross returns for range and feeder cattle. The gross value of livestock, $46,616,000 exceeded the previous year by 5 per cent. It was 21 per cent more than 10 year average, 1949 - 1958. Higher returns for cows, calves and bulls, were largely responsible for the increase. The production and value of chicken eggs held about steady. Due to lower production, the value of fryers and broilers was down 25 per cent. Value decreases were noted for meat turkeys and poults, while returns for turkey hatching eggs were up 27 per cent.

Construction on Sewer Line Project Begins By Orange County News Service Construction on an 88-mile net- work of trunk line sewers in Or- ange County Sanitation Districts Two and Three was well under way today after official ground breaking Wednesday afternoon. The ceremonies were centered off Cannery St. near Hamilton St., north of Costa Mesa. Acting as master of ceremonies was Walter Schmid, Garden Grove rancher. A total of $21,665,000 in bonds was approved on August 5, 1958, to meet the western and northern Orange County sewer needs brought on by the expanding popu-lation. The overload on the existing Magnolia and Euclid trunk lines has brought about a serious health menace in western county regions, according to county health officer Dr. E. L. Russell. It was pointed out by Lee Nelson, general manager of the county sanitation districts, two modern treatment plants are capable of treating sewage. Heart Disease Tops County Death Causes By Orange County News Service Heart trouble or disease of the circulatory system, was the leading cause of death last year in Orange County.
