Orange county takes the lead in the proportionate number of women car drivers as compared to other parts of the country according to Robert Atkinson, of the Ried Motor company, Santa Ana dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars. Of the six million or more passenger automobiles in the United States, Atkinson asserts, average registrations show that one car in every twenty-four is owned or operated by a woman "Here in Orange county", said Atkinson, "the proportion of women drivers is found to be considerably greater than the national statistics show. In fact, it is the rule in almost every family owning a Chevrolet that some female members drives the car. We are also aware that women often cost the deciding vote in the selection of the car purchased, therefore motor car manufacturers are designing and building cars that are easy to operate and embody features that appeal to the gender sex. From a temporary organization effected here two weeks ago a movement is sweeping through the State for the organization of all beet growers into a compact body for the betterment of the industry. The beet growers propose to have a hand in the question of what psice they shall receive for beets from sugar refiners and also mean to increase their output by studying cultural methods and combining to get adequate labor. At the primary meeting of the beet growers it was decided to form the California Beet Growers Association, and the following committee on organization was named: C. L. McComber, Buena Park; C. H. Chuml, Tustin; H. B. Woodrough, Costa Mesa; J. W. Martin, Santa Ana; W. Dean Johnson, Westminster. Sim Gisler, Huntington Beach; Andrew Cock, Delhi; H. B. Marshalbank, Artesia; Earl Gardner, Smeltzel; William Draper, Los Alamitos; J. Saddler, Del Rey; George C. Buckran, Norwalk. About 600 acres were signed up at the initial meeting, and three times this acreage has been added by the work of the organization committee. State Director G. B. Daniels, who was present, advised the growers not to form a permanent organization until 20,000 acres had been signed up in Southern California. Growers of Oxnard, the Ventura district, Chino and other sections are organizing with a view of joining the central body. A card was received at this office yesterday from Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, who, when it was written, were taking in the sights of Rome. AT the end of the year we wish to extend to our numerous friends and patrons of Anaheim and vicinity our best wishes for a happy New Year and at the same time expressing to all of you our thanks for your liberal patronage during the year. FALKENSTEIN'S AUTO CLUB HERE HANDLE LICENSES Will Take Care of All Details for The Motorist. Anaheim members of the Automobile Club of Southern California will get their 1921 license plates after January 10, according to the announcement from the local office. The members will have all the details of registration, etc., taken care of by the club. Another big aid to resident and non-resident motor owners as announced is the free shipping service to all parts of the United States and foreign countries. In 1920 the valuation of automobiles shipped by the Club was more than four million dollars. More than 13 train-loads of high class automobiles were in these shipments, estimating 30 cars to the train and three automobiles to each freight car. The bulk of money saved is in freight charges. By shipping in carload lots the freight charges can be split in half. Cars are shipped by the Club at actual railroad cost, and all a shipper has to do is to deliver his machine to the Club. Cars can be sent in from any point to Los Angeles or shipped in by rail. When desired, the Department supply competent drivers to deliver cars to outside towns, the shippers paying only actual cost incurred. Over $160,000 was paid out in freight charges by shippers using this branch of service during 1920. This Branch of service is entirely free to everyone who desires to avail himself or herself of its advantages. More than one hundred thousand dollars in cash saved motorists is an item which will be measurably increased in 1921.
