Community Store Taken by Goodwill Will Be Conducted in Interest Of the Needy People Plans have been completed for permitting the Goodwill Industries of Southern California, Inc., to take over the community store operated by the Anaheim Association Charities. This announcement, made by R. W. Balch, chiefman of the charity organization, marks the close of negotiations that have been underway here since the Goodwill organization began to look for a site for a local store, several weeks ago. Under the terms of a contract, the Goodwill Industries is to operate a salvage store here, where needy folk may buy renovated clothing, household furnishings, etc., at nominal prices and where elderly people or crippled men and women may secure employment. It is announced. In addition, the Goodwill organization agrees to pay $60 per month to the city of Anaheim for use in welfare work. Mr. Balch announces. The Anaheim community store has been operating under the direction of Mrs. J. W. Price, head of the city welfare department, for the past six years, the small margin of profit secured on the renovated articles handled being used for emergency welfare work. Throughout this period the amount of money realized in this way has averaged approximately $60 per month, and this sum has proven adequate for the purpose, Balch stated. Under the new plan, Mrs. Price will be relieved of the responsibility of directing the community store and the welfare fund will be guaranteed its $60 per month just as before. The contract with the Goodwill Industries has been signed for the period of one year and may or may not be renewed after that time. Mr. Balch said. The Anaheim Associated Charities organization, which has been in existence for little more than a year as the central clearing house for all civic groups FARM BUREAU N COUNTY PEPPER YIELD HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR The 1927 pepper deal has practically come to a close in Orange county and the growers are taking stock of the situation. We find upon close scrutiny that this year's production has been much higher than that of 1926 and the returns much more satisfactory. The pepper weevil infestation, although rather severe during the latter part of the season, did not cause near as much loss as it did last year. The very thorough clean-up last year, and dusting with calcium arsenate, probably had considerable to do with this year's satisfactory results. Now that the crop is harvested, growers should turn their attention immediately to turning under the old plants. In order to get best results, the plants should be plowed under while still green, so that they will rot more the winter food supply of the weevil quickly, and also to destroy immediately. Entomologists recommend this system of combatting the insect, because of the similarity in habits of the pepper weevil and the cotton boll weevil, and the growers in the southern cottont districts have found the system very effective. It cannot be urged strongly on all pepper growers this work should be done immediately if best results are to be secured. FROST PROTECTION ENGAGES ATTENTION By Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor More efficient regulation of orchard heaters where frost protection is found an economic factor in citrus production is the aim of growers generally in Orange county this year.

The committee was appointed by Newport Beach councilman last week and is headed by Stuart Cundiff, Newport water department superintendent. Other members of the committee include Dr. G. M. Grundy, city health officer; Franklin G. West, city attorney; Lew H. Wallace and J. P. Greeley. The committee investigated conditions along the outfall sewer line and, at the special meeting here, unanimously approved Cundiff's recent report to the city officials. The committee also determined to recommend to the city trustees that the matter be placed before the grand jury. At the same time that the outfall sewer committee was meeting, a special committee of the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce met and unanimously agreed to appeal to the Orange county grand jury to take steps to abate the unpleasant odor coming from drainage ditches emptying into the upper part of Newport bay. The odors, while not harmful, are exceedingly unpleasant, according to K. I. Fulton, chairman of the committee. Fulton, assisted by W. L. Jordan and Charles H. Way, investigated the odors. According to Fulton, they have their source at the Santa Ana Sugar Company plant. Waste water turned into the drainage ditches is the cause, it is reported. THINGS WORTH KNOWING FROST PROTECTION ENGAGES ATTENTION By Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor More efficient regulation of orchard heaters where frost protection is found an economic factor in citrus production is the aim of growers generally in Orange county this year. Considerable effort is being put forth in the field this year to assist growers in securing the greatest efficiency in the use of orchard heaters. Because of the lack of previous experience, some growers last year used more fuel than necessary and in some cases didn't understand the proper draught regulation to obtain the minimum of smoke. This year, however, a considerable improvement will be noticed on the acreage equipped a year ago, because of the demonstration and personal work performed by the extension service, the weather bureau and the local frost protective associations. Bulletins describing the proper regulation of heaters and the efficiency of various types of heaters are available at the farm advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. Looking to a more efficient campaign this winter, a meeting of interested citrus growers will be held at the farm advisor's office, in the Hall of Records, today, at 2 p.m., to discuss various phases of the heating problem. Floyd Young, chief of the frost forecasting service in Southern California, will present data collected from last year's campaign that will be of particular interest to Orange county growers. The hazards of insufficient fuel storage facilities and delayed firing will be explained by Young. Harold Rathbone, Orange county observer, in charge of 17 minimum temperature stations in Orange county, will also be present. All growers equipped with heaters or contemplating such protection are invited to attend. SUGAR BEET MEN TO HOLD MEETING During the past spring a survey of the sugar beet fields of Orange county showed a distinct laxity in thinning operations in a great many of the fields. In some cases as low as 60 per cent of a stand was found and, on further investigation, it was ascertained that a good part of this was due to lack of supervision of the labor. Thinning is one operation in sugar beet culture which can easily make or break the grower. The survey mentioned above was made by Dr. W. W. Robbins, former beet grower of Colorado and at present employed by the University of California. Dr. Robbins, after making his survey, immediately interviewed factory men and prominent growers, and it was decided that a better thinning campaign would be put on in 1928.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q. What are northern lights? A. Streams of light which flare across the northern sky of varied and beautiful coloring. They are vast electrical discharges, but their exact nature is unknown. According to one theory, they are due to the ascent of positive electricity from the surfaces of tropical water, which carried by higher aerial currents, flow toward the polar regions, and there descend toward the earth and come in contact with the earth's negative electricity, thereby causing the luminous discharges. Q. What is the value of a Confederate hundred dollar bill with bust of Mrs. Davis, issue of 1864? A. Two cents. Q. What state of the United States reaches farthest north? A. Minnesota. Q. Have the number of horses on farms in the United States decreased materially during the last 10 to 15 years? A. According to the department of agriculture year book, there were estimated to be 19,833,000 horses on farms in the United States on April 15, 1910, and 15,778,000 in 1926 (preliminary report). Q. How did the population of the United States in 1926 compare with that of 1920? A. The census of 1920 showed 106,-418,294. The estimated population in 1926 was 117,135,817. Q. Was either the first or second Mrs. Woodrow Wilson a Roman Catholic? A. The first Mrs. Wilson was a Presbyterian and the second is a member of the Protestant Episcopal church. Q. What does the Indian name "Pocahontas" mean? A. Sportive" or "playful." To Continue Citrus Belt Advertising Campaign Will Be Carried On Through Coming Year The advertising campaign that has appeared in the local newspapers in the citrus districts during the past year will be continued for the 1927-28 season, according to the annual report of E.G. Dezell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. "This is to place the facts regarding the operations and services of the exchange before the people generally in the communities largely dependent upon the citrus industry," states Mr. Dezell. The report states that while there appears to be a growing appreciation of the work of the exchange, the many changes in ownership of orchards necessitates the constant education of new people. Such educational work also brings a better appreciation on the part of exchange members of the benefits of better distribution, and the further advantages possible through greater support of their organization, also of the services the exchange is performing in the interests of the entire industry. "In the final analysis," says Mr. Dezell's report, "the exchange depends upon its ability to make better returns on the individual grower's fruit than can be secured through other marketing channels. In addition, improved distribution and increased consumer advertising will raise the general level of the market and increase the value of citrus properties generally."

The exact place of these meetings will be announced later. One meeting will in all probability be held near Santa Ana, and the other in the eastern part of the county. Several speakers have secured for the meetings, including Dr. Robbins and Dr. E. Caraner of the United States department of agriculture. Dr. Robbins has also just completed a circular on "Sugar Beet Thinning" which will be distributed to all growers in the county. WEST ORANGE CENTER TO DISCUSS WALNUTS Following the biggest walnut crop ever harvested in the county, the West Orange Farm Center is arranging a special program covering various phases of walnut growing and marketing, according to Andrew Smiley, president of the center. W. B. Hooper of the experiment station has been invited to speak on factors influencing the production of quality nuts. He will stress the importance of prompt harvesting methods. A. W. Christie of the California Walnut Growers' Association has been invited to discuss the grade standards maintained by the association. G. L. Fauer, local walnut grower, will present experiences in walnut dehydration, and Andrew Smiley, manager of the Richland Walnut Association, will give an analysis of packing records on quality of nuts, compiled from the crack counts made upon delivery to the house. W. H. Wright will give a preliminary report on the effectiveness of worm and aphis control, determined crack tests and field surveys. The West Orange Rarm Center meets at the West Orange grammar school, located one block east and one block south of Orana. The above program is scheduled for Friday evening, December 9, at 7:30 Orange Co. Team To Join Triple-A Rube Ellis' Aggregation to Present Some Classy Ball Assuring their patrons Sunday winter baseball of a high quality, the Orange County Club, which has been playing at the fair grounds on the Santa Ana-Anaheim boulevard for the past month, today entered the fast Triple-A league, an eight-club circuit, and announced that it would face Loren Ury's Pasadent Merchants on its home grounds next Sunday afternoon. The same lineup which the veteran "Rube". Ellis has had charge of this season will remain with the Countians, according to F. B. Jones, business manager. Other teams in the Triple-A league are the Shell Oils of Long Beach, the Cleveland Colored Giants, the Veitura Shells, Pan-Gas, Pacific Electrics, Pasadena Merchants, and Santa Monica. Orange county's team formerly was associated with Joe Pirrone's All-Stars, the Philadelphia Hillsdale Giants and the Cleveland All-Stars, but afairs were unsatisfactory with this triumvirate from the outset. It was reported, and Ellis' men were glad to get out of the loop and into the Triple-A circuit, which is much better organized. The Triple-A teams are all competent opposition, particularly the Shell Oils, who have such stars as Eddie Kenna, Minneapolis catcher; Elmer Jacobs, White Sox pitcher; "Mickey" Heath, Hollywood first baseman; Frank Emmer, shortstop, who has just been sold to Detroit, and Tom Holley, Hollywood third baseman. CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year are in store for California. A review of economic conditions prevailing in the state, made by the research department of the California Development Association, shows California to be entering another era of economic prosperity. Following is a summary prepared: General business activity in California, which slackened below normal from April to September of this year, increased during October and November. Various indices reflect a moderate upward trend toward normal in California, as well as on the Pacific coast and over the United States generally.

On Thursday night Garden Grove expects to celebrate their year's activities with a "fun nite." For this occasion a splendid program of entertainment, including singing and dancing talent from Hollywood, is planned. Orange county celebrities will also take part in the entertainment. Friday night, December 9, West Orange Farm Center will hold a meeting for the benefit of walnut growers. At this time educators along walnut lines will be present to discuss the marketing situation and cultural methods. Avocados will be the topic of discussion at the Yorba Linda farm center meeting on December 20. William McPherson, one of the best informed avocado men in California, will discuss varieties and cultural methods. All of these meetings extend a cordial invitation to the public to attend. PRUNING OF GRAPES TO BE DEMONSTRATED Announcement has just come from the Agricultural Extension Service of Orange county that a grape pruningemonstration will be held at the Utt vineyard, on Lemon Heights, Wednesday, December 14, at 2 p.m. Although the acreage of grapes is not very large in this county, there are a number of growers who are interested in what was formerly one of our leading crops. Prof. F. T. Bioletti, head of the division of viticulture, University of California, will be present for this meeting and will be prepared for not only demonstrate proper pruning methods and practices, but will also answer any questions on general cultural methods. Professor Bioletti has visited Orange county many times during his time as head of the division of viticulture and is thoroughly familiar with our local problems.

MOVEMENT TO ERECT COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE (Continued from Page One) schools, and George Dunton, president of the board of education, issued the following statement, explaining the board's reasons for the decision: "At a special meeting of the Santa Ana board of education, held following the meeting of representative citizens with the board to hear a discussion of the plans of two experts to make a school survey, the board voted unanimously to proceed with plans for the development of a new site and buildings for a Santa Ana junior college. This action of the board was decided upon because of the growing crowded condition resulting from having the senior high school and junior college together, and also on account of the possible and probable development of the 6-4-4 plan, the board did not wish to run chances of being tied up to any proposition that might lead to embarrassing conditions later in the event that it were found advisable to adopt the 6-4-4 plan." The nice thing about being a newspaper man is that you don't have to worry about whether the total tax cut is $225,000,000 or $400,000,000, if you are living on a newspaperman's earnings.

During the four-week period ending November 23, bank clearings showed an increase over the same period a year ago of 18 per cent in San Francisco, while debits to individual accounts reflected an increase of 43 per cent and 13 percent, respectively. Taking into account the effect of bank consolidations on clearings, and allowing for a large increase in speculative transactions on the stock and bond markets, these data still reflect a substantial recovery in business and mercantile operations. Analysis of crop reports for November indicates that the volume of agricultural production and shipments in California during the 1927 season will be equal to the 1926 season, and that the total value of these fruit, field, and vegetables crops will exceed the $452,-781,000 reported last year.
