This week nearly all the packing houses are running part time, and some of them full time. Navels continue to make up the bulk of the auction offerings. The shipment of navels and miscellaneous varieties this week will practically clean up the balance of the crop, leaving only Valencias for packing and shipping during the rest-of-the season. Brisk sales for local brands of citrus fruits were reported by local orange packing house dealers; the principal sales being made on the Pacific coast and in the Middle West. All northern Orange county brands brought from $5 to $7 during the week, it is said. Mother Colony and Carnival brands of the Anaheim Citrus Association, Favorita and Delicia of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association and the Carmenita and Model brands of the Placentia Orange Growers' Association were among the popular sellers. Orange county fruit is also reported so popular that orders are being sent here by dealers, f.o.b., instead of waiting for the auction markets. The total number of cars shipped from Southern California this year to date is said to total 17,094 oranges and 4873 lemons compared with 20,622 oranges and 5706 lemons to this date last year. Shipments of Florida oranges this week are reported to have been light, only 306 cars having gone forward the past week, compared with 375 cars during the previous week. Florida has shipped to date a total of 26,982 cars of oranges of her estimated total crop of 27,778 cars, leaving but 796 cars to go forward if crop estimates prove to be correct. Grapefruit shipments now total 20,430 cars for the season. The estimate on grapefruit was for 22,222 cars, leaving 1792 cars remaining for shipment.

Members of the Southern California Gladiolus Association are preparing a mammoth display of the rich-toned sword-ily blooms to occupy a prominent position in the citrus salon, assigned them by Herman Stern, director-general of the show. Several of the best-known flower cultivars in Southern California, numbered in the association membership, are preparing to send their prize blossoms to be incorporated in the colorful display of members of the iris family. Hiram H. Tracey, instructor in botany in the Fullerton Union high school, an official of the association, is taking an active part in preparing the display. Students of the school are assisting him in designing the exhibit.

ORANGE COUNTY HOLD DINNER The Orange County tion about 325 strong joyable meeting with at the Santa Ana Thursday evening last Members of the friends from every town county were representing a very large delegation An excellent turk served by the Countriment and during the tions were furnished of the Anaheim Kiwaette, and by Reg Tau Rev.Walter M.Thor was the speaker of the Griggsby's orchestra music for the dancing Mr. and Mrs.W.W Angeles were week-come home of Mr. and Mrs AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, May 21, 1925 ORANGE SHOW OPENS Appropriate Ceremonies Will Be Observed in Throwing the Doors Open to the Public—Mayor Mathis, Harry D. Riley and Tom Talbert will Speak Hundreds of workmen have been feverishly active in the great tents out at the orange show grounds the past couple of weeks, and everything is now in readiness for the opening of he show tomorrow evening. More than $60,000 has been spent in staging the show, and as it stands now the tents and their contents represent a money value of more than half a million dollars. Never before has anything so elaborate been attempted in the citrus belt. San Bernardino's great National Orange Show was a beautiful exhibition but those who saw it and who have visited the grounds on La Palma avenue unhesitatingly declare that Director-General Herman Stern and his aides are presenting something to the public far superior to it. While the show will present a beautiful spectacle both day and night, perhaps the best time to see it is after nightfall, when the great canvases are brilliantly illuminated. It is claimed it will require no more "juice" to light the tents than is consumed by the entire city. Fifteen hundred lamps of high candlepower are strung in the citrus tent, 1500 in the industrial tent, and 650 in the automobile tent. Besides, hundreds will be re-of the district competing for prizes in displaying the smartest of 1925's modes in bathing costumes. Applications from prospective entrants are being received in numbers by F. B. Harden of this city, bathing revue manager. Belles of the beaches at Laguna, Newport, Balboa, Huntington Beach and Seal Beach are busy developing original ideas in bathing costumes to uphold the reputations of their various communities in the revue, while their sisters in Inland towns are making ready to give them real competition. The citrus, industrial and automotive divisions, respectively, have been decorated on a different scheme of the period, with the colorful drapes illuminated with artistic chandeliers and great carved pedestals of French design to offset the featured exhibits. From the elaborate preparations just completed by the Chambers of Commerce of Southland cities and various marketing and orchard associations, the citrus division will house the greatest and most colorful display of Valencia oranges ever made. The region is credited with placing the summer orange among the leading fruit products of the great marls of trade, and the sponsors of the show are prepared to show...

Besides, hundreds will be required in the Midway and the various sidehawks. Hitting upon the French Renaissance period for the decorative scheme was a happy thought, as anyone who has seen the inside of the great citrus tent since its completion will testify. It is a beautiful creation—a genuine work of art. The tents housing the three great divisions have been transformed into French salons of the Renaissance period by a clever arrangement of sateen decorative cloth and huge draps of royal purple, orchid, old gold and pale blue. Appropriate vaudeville and musical entertainment will feature each day of the show, which has been dedicated to a section or group. For the opening, on May 22, "California Day," the Santa Monica municipal band will render a special concert program in honor of the Golden State. "Orange County Day" will be celebrated the second day of the exposition, with the Clara Constant dancers as headliners on the program. The Majestic Six orchestra will be featured on May 25, "Radio Day"; vaudeville, vocal and dance artists on "Civic Club Day." May 26, and Patrick and Marsh's orchestra on "Los Angeles County Day." May 27. The Orange County Farm Bureau will have charge of the amusement and educational features in the form of citriculture lectures and demonstrations on May 28, "Farm Bureau Day." May 29 will be "Children's Day," with juvenile radio artists and clown vaudville acts headlining the program. Scots will be hosts to visiting Shriners and Masons on May 30, "Masonic Day," with a Sciot band contest as the major entertaining feature. "Tourists' Day" will be observed May 31, with a special night entertainment, under the direction of Placentia Chamber of Commerce, in addition to vaudville numbers. The closing and crowning feature of the entertainment will be the Orange County Bathing Girls' Revue, June 1, Beach City Day," with the prettiest damselflies. First National Has New Vice-President J. G. Hilleary, Expert on Investments, Added to Force The First National Bank has added another able man to its force in the person of J. G. Hilleary, who comes here from Dubois, Pa., where he was connected with the Union Trust Company. Mr. Hilleary has been named vice-president of the First National, and will begin his duties June 1. He has been in Anaheim several months, getting acquainted with the field.

The tract of land, 1100 acres in extent, on the Bastanchury ranch, offered to the University of California as a site for its southern branch, is considered an ideal site for such an institution, and in all probability steps will soon be taken to place the matter before the people. A large percentage of the students at the reputations of their various communities in the revue, while their sisters in Inland towns are making ready to give them real competition.

From the elaborate preparations just completed by the Chambers of Commerce of Southland cities and various marketing and orchard associations, the citrus division will house the greatest and most colorful display of Valencia oranges ever made. The region is credited with placing the summer orange among the leading fruit products of the great marits of trade, and the sponsors of the show are prepared to show the world fame is well deserved. The importance of the event in the Southland is indicated by the fact that the 143 booths in the industrial division were sold three weeks before the opening day, and Director-General Stern has been forced to turn away scores of leading firms who filed applications too late to get space. The automotive show promises to be the featured spring display of new models of automobiles for the season, with dealers in high grade cars in Los Angeles, Pasadena and other cities joining with practically every agency in Orange county in presenting the latest in motor vehicles. "We've always made these shows successful," said Mr. Stern, "and this of a surety will excel all-preceding ones. All of our space was disposed of a month ago, so I know that in variety, beauty and absorbing quality this display will be enjoyed by all visitors. We will have a display of boxed oranges 750 feet in extent. This is exclusive of over a dozen immense feature displays. For the fruit display we will have a corps of 20 experts on duty to explain all details of the industry and to answer all questions. "Do not get the idea that this is a circumscribed exhibit, for the Valencia district comprises the regions of Santa Ana valley, such as Santa Ana, Anahelm, Whittier, La Habra, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Tustin, Orange and Garden Grove. A midway? Of course, and the best set of entertainments ever seen. For those of aesthetic inclination and for flower experts we will include in the display of the Southern California Gladiolus Association a showing that I venture cannot be equaled anywhere." As to music, we have engaged the Santa Monica band, the Majestic Six and Patrick Marsh orchestra, with a big radio thrown in. We open on Friday evening, and Harry Riley.

With the announcement of the connection he has made here, numerous congratulations have been received by him from these former associates. ORANGE COUNTY BANKERS HOLD DINNER DANCE The Orange County Bankers' Association, about 325 strong, held a most enjoyable meeting, with dinner and dancing, at the Santa Ana Country Club, on Thursday evening last. Members of the association and friends from every town and city in the county were represented. Anaheim having a very large delegation. An excellent turkey dinner was served by the Country Club management, and during the meal vocal selections were furnished by four members of the Anaheim Kiwanis double quartette, and by Reg Taylor of Anaheim. Rev. Walter M. Thornton of Fullerton was the speaker of the evening. Grigsby's orchestra provided excellent music for the dancing. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Loewen of Los Angeles were week-end guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Hall. IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES AND SUPERINTENDENT RESIGN; NEW TEACHERS TO BE APPOINTED BY PRESENT BOARD County School Superintendent to Name New Members—Affairs Held in Abeyance Pending Return of Trustee Gibbs, Who Is East—Patriotic Women Rising to Battle Communism and Other Isms in School System. Coming with little surprise to the people of this city, School Trustees E. H. Metcalf and George W. Sloop tendered their resignations to County School Superintendent Mitchell on last Thursday morning, the same to be effective the first of July. The meeting was held at the residence of Mr. Metcalf, 511 East Broadway, and was attended by only the two trustees who resigned. Frank N. Gibbs, the newly-elected member of the board, departed the preceding afternoon for Columbus, Ohio, as a delegate to the National Presbytery, in session in that city. While Mr. Gibbs could have no official knowledge of the intention of his associates to resign, he was probably aware that they had decided to quit, but that they would retain their office until July, which as close of the school year, Preceding their resignations, Charles C. Smith, superintendent of schools, placed his resignation in their hands, effective the same date, and it was promptly accepted. The resignation of Mr. Smith caused no surprise, for it had been reported about town for several days, that he was desirous of giving up his position. On being called on the telephone on Wednesday, he said that he had not resigned, but added significantly that (Concluded on Last Page) Educators Backing Movement for New Institution A movement backed by leading educators of the county has been started toward the establishment of a county junior college. The tract of land, 1100 acres in extent, on the Bastanchury ranch, offered to the University of California as a site for its southern branch, is considered an ideal site for such an institution, and in all probability steps will soon be taken to place the matter before the people. A large percentage of the students graduating from the several high schools of the county are desirous of pursuing their studies in higher institutions, but reports are that the universities of the state are now overcrowded. It is difficult to make room for new students, and the time will come—it is probably here now, when the rolls will have to be closed. Establishment of a junior college in this county, maintained by the county, would give hundreds of young people an opportunity to acquire a higher education without going away from home. It is believed the movement will be supported in all sections of the county. WOMEN OF SANTA ANA FORM REPUBLICAN CLUB Prominent women of Santa Ana, at a meeting held at the Gingham Dog and Calico Cat Cafe affected permanent organization of the Republican Women's Club of Santa Ana, to be affiliated with the woman's Federation of California. The initial gathering intended to study and foster Republican principles was well attended, those taking part being a representative group. Elected to lead Republican women of Santa Ana in the nation-wide movement launched by Mrs. Alvin T. Hert of Los Angeles, was Mrs. A. P. Nelson, wife of the district attorney. Other officers chosen were Mrs. A. J. Crookshank, first vice-president; Mrs. Ella Campau, second vice-president; Mrs. E. R. Madden, secretary, and Mrs. A. G. Flagg, treasurer.

Santa Ana is relied upon for a heavy vote in favor of the bonds, and as that city is voting on a $1,200,000 bond proposition on June 23 for a municipal water plant, it was believed voters might shy at a second demand on them for a like amount. Some Telephone Company Will Soon Build Postponement of the harbor bond election until some date in the autumn months was advocated by friends of the proposition before the supervisors at the hearing before that body last week, in consequence of which the board decided to withhold action until the people had an opportunity to further discuss the matter. Santa Ana is relied upon for a heavy vote in favor of the bonds, and as that city is voting on a $1,200,000 bond proposition on June 23 for a municipal water plant, it was believed voters might shy at a second demand on them for a like amount. Some of the champions of the harbor issue favored a June date, believing that the bonds would carry by a large majority, but the more level-headed thought it advisable to wait until fall. The first shot in the skirmish was fired, strangely enough, by an opponent of the bonds, M. A. Seebers, Garden Grove farmer. Seebers took the floor when it was opened for discussion. He had evidently come to the meeting "loaded" for the issue. "My taxes have increased 1700 per cent," he commenced. "We need that harbor about as much as a dog needs 17 tails." I move," he concluded, "that we postpone this election 150 years." Amid the stunned silence, Attorney Clyde Bishop was heard to murmur: "I really believe that Mr. Seebers is against these bonds. Yes sir, he seems to be opposed to them." Bishop himself then spoke as a friend of the harbor," and representative of the Santa Ana city council, in charge of the water bond proceedings. He counseled against calling the election in June, because of the election already set for that month by Santa Ana. Voting approximately $2,500,000 in bonds at approximately the same time would be a little too much to expect of the Santa Ana voters. Bishop said, And he declared, the Santa Ana vote is necessary for the harbor bonds. "It has been the history of these big projects," Bishop warned, "that they come to Santa Ana from the outlying districts defeated, but that Santa Ana put them over. And if you give Santa Ana a chance, she'll put this one over too. I believe." Bishop hinted that September would be the proper time for submitting the harbor bonds to the voters. "They'll be just home from their vacations and still feeling good and will not have seen their tax bills yet." Bishop suggested. Harry H. Hale of Placentia also urged delay, but for a different reason. The Placentia district, he said, was ready to support the bond issue, but demanded that titles to tide lands be settled first. It will be much simpler to settle them now, before the harbor is built, than afterwater. He said. Since such settlement is now under way, he thought that a date in the fall would probably be all right for the election. "The records of such a meeting as this wouldn't be quite straight without a word from Lew H. Wallace," said a voice from the crowd at this point. Wallace agreed to deferring the harbor bond election. "for fear that they might hurt the Santa Ana water bonds." The veteran champion of the harbor Goodale Grad of Oregon College Kenneth F. Goodale of Anaheim is a member of the 1925 graduating class of Oregon Agricultural College, the largest in the history of the institution. The number of candidates for graduation is conservatively estimated at 530. Seven students are candidates for the master's degree, 12 for the degree of pharmaceutical chemist, and some 520 for the regular bachelor of science degree. Mr. Goodale is majoring in business administration. Though earning 90 per cent of his college expenses, he is an active member of Alpha Kappa Psi, honorary commerce fraternity; National Collegiate Players, and of Scabbard and Blade, military honor society. In addition, he was publicity manager for the Oregon Agricultural College Chamber of Commerce, and participated in varsity debate for three years. He also holds a major's rank in the reserve officers' training corps at the college. Mr. Goodale attended Pomona College for a year, before going to Oregon. Coman of Fullerton demanded to know why Orange county should spend money developing a harbor when San Pedro was so close at hand and was being developed and maintained without cost to Orange county. Coman wanted to know also, why the harbor reports of Major Ardery and General Lansing-H. Beach, consulting engineer for the harbor commission had not been published. He had never heard, he said, whether General Beach had rendered an opinion on whether harbor development was "good business." Beach, who was present, answered in person, and assured all present that he thought it was good business and that the county would be "penny wise and pound foolish" not to continue the harbor project so that the money already spent there could be utilized. There is no reason why Newport harbor couldn't develop into a good "feeder" harbor for San Pedro, he declared. Coman and Seebers were both inclined to ridicule the idea of "sending good money after bad," and wanted statistics from somebody on what actual benefits the farmers are going to get from the harbor, particularly in the way of freight and trucking saving.
