Oranges Fill Your Child’s Health Basket Accounts of May Day celebrations are recorded as early as Roman times, when carnivals were held in tribute to Flora, goddess of fruits and flowers. In England May Day was consecrated to Robin Hood and the Maid Marlan and May pole dances were enjoyed by the villagers. The colonists brought the festival to America, and its celebration has been given a new impetus by being designated Child Health Day. The motive of the new May Day is to celebrate and stimulate all over this country the perfect growth and flowering of childhood. Secretary Herbert Hoover, who sponsored and still heads the Child Health Day move, has drawn up the Child's Bill of Rights, to the carrying out of which the American Child Health Association is devoting its energy and funds. Mr. Hoover's bill is the ideal that every American child be well born and through hygienic living, health education and proper medical attention attain a mental and physical state which will equip each to carry on to best meet life's problems. To accomplish this objective the American Child Health Association has been materially aided by numerous commercial groups who have given not only funds to help them in their work, but have also given to parents and educators health messages of inestimable value. Food is one of the fundamentals of child health, and Sunkist growers together with other food advertisers have done much to arouse public interest in this subject. Advertisements featuring the importance of orange juice in child feeding and the relation of child diet to health are a part of all Sunkist campaigns. Approximately 50,000 booklets, "Feeding the Child for Health," are distributed to mothers and child health workers each year. During the school year 20,000 health poster sets will reach teachers, nurses and health workers. Domestic science and dietetic bulletins reach other thousands of teachers and nutrition workers. A Sunkist school lunch bulletin is a new number this season. California orange trees are also in league with this health association and by producing fruit every day in the year make it possible for American children to observe one of the health rules which they are taught—"Eat fruit every day."

Besides having many scouts in the hour-and-a-half program made up of various Boy Scout stunts to be put on in the grandstand enclosure, several oncessions will be taken care of by Anaheim organizations, adding variety to the Midway attractions which are a feature of the jamboree.

Other organizations are known to have committees appointed to assist in the jamboree arrangements. County-wide interest in the Cub Scout movement, little fellows under 12, has resulted in the enrollment of over four hundred in cub "packs" who will take part in the program. A dinner in the pavilion will precede the actual jamboree, at which Hoot Gibson will preside. Later he will award life, star and eagle badges as part of the program. A public address system is to be installed, and arrangements have been made to park thousands of cars. Last year four thousand persons saw the boys put on their stunts, and this year, with its enlarged grandstand and more detailed arrangements, it is expected that six thousand citizens of Orange county will witness this annual Boy Scout classic.

Sister Identifies Man Killed by Car Had Not Seen Her Brother for Thirty Years, She Said A news dispatch sent out from Fullerton concerning a search being made for relatives of Walton S. Lee, elderly prospector, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident, was seen in a San Diego paper by his sister, Mrs. J. Dyckman, of Pacific Beach. Mrs. Dyckman came to Fullerton and identified the body as that of her brother, whom she had not seen for 30 years. McAulay & Suters undertakers in charge of the body, in accordance with the sister's instructions, were preparing to have the body cremated in Los Angeles, preparatory to shipping the ashes to another sister in Grand Rapids, Mich., Lee's birthplace. In support of her claim of kinship with Lee, Mrs. Dyckman produced old letters one of them dated 1880, which the man had written to his parents in Grand Rapids from time to time but a which, it was said, he never disclosed his whereabouts. Mrs. Dyckman's visit revealed that Lee had left home 46 years ago. Eventually he became a prospector, haunting Arizona and New Mexico deserts for semi-precious stones. "The died as he lived," alone," the sister said. Lee was walking along the state highway a short distance north of the La Habra crossroad on the night of April 8. An automobile driven by W. S.

Knopf INTERNATIONAL TRADE If the twenty-three nations of Europe would imitate America's forty-eight states in establishing free flow of trade between themselves— And if Europe as a whole would then establish her trade relations with the rest of the world as has America— The purpose of the recent international manifesto advocating removal of trade barriers would be practically accomplished, Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, said in an interview with the Associated Press. The manifesto cannot be directed with any logic at the United States, said Mr. Hoover, because in five years since the enactment of our present tariff American imports from Europe have increased 54 per cent, while our exports to Europe have increased but 13 per cent. "In the fact of this increase," the secretary declared, "it can scarcely be contended that our tariff is destroying European trade." There is a good deal of current mis- complished, Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, said in an interview with the Associated Press. The manifesto cannot be directed with any logic at the United States, said Mr. Hoover, because in the five years since the enactment of our present tariff American imports from Europe have increased 54 per cent, while our exports to Europe have increased but 13 per cent. "In the fact of this increase," the secretary declared, "it can scarcely be contended that our tariff is destroying European trade. "There is a good deal of current misunderstanding in Europe and elsewhere about 'barriers on trade' with the United States. In the first instance, we have no discriminatory railroad rates, no subsidies; we make no stipulations that money we loan shall be spent in the United States; we have no cartels or government price fixing on commodities. Therefore our export trade is wholly free of impediments. The sole question is the tariff on a portion of our imports. "Our import trade is 62.7 per cent on a free trade basis. Of the remaining 37.3 per cent, some 7 or 8 per cent was in sheer luxuries, durable for revenue purposes only. Of the remaining 30 per cent, agricultural products which compete with our farmers but which do not come from Europe comprise about 17 per cent. "In any event, so long as the present low standards of living and low wages exist in Europe, we must maintain protection to certain of our industries." CHURCH NOTICE First Church of Christ, Scientist—a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.—Philadelphia street at Chartres. Sunday service at 11 a.m. Subject: "Everlasting Punishment."

A Chicago tourist in France caused a riot by throwing 40,000 francs out of a hotel window into the street. Maybe he thought the general public might as well get the money as the hotel. Plan Albatross Test Flight Here Next Endurance Trip May Be Made in This County After voicing the opinion that this county should do everything in its power to encourage the development of aviation here, the board of supervisors are endeavoring to make it possible for the next endurance flight of the Albatross, giant Midway City monoplane, to be made from the Orange county airport. Sterling Price, manager of the company, stated that he would prefer this location to any other as the site of the attempt to break the world's record. If proper arrangements can be made, the board will ask him to meet them at 11 a.m., when it is expected that secretaries of the chambers of commerce from all Orange county cities will be present to consider the situation. A runway a mile and one-half in length would be necessary in order to give the plane a chance to take off when loaded, according to Price. The huge ship is now in readiness for its next try at the endurance mark and may hop off within a short time, he stated. Weather conditions in Orange county are not surpassed at any other location in this region. Price declared, in commenting on the forthcoming flight. He said that a number of places are being considered for the next flight, but that no definite decision has been reached. IT'S BACK AGAIN That queer-looking fowl, the "turken" has bobbled up again, this time in an Arizona farm paper, where a breeder of the helpless poultry freak solemnly repeats the old yarn about its supposed origin in the imperial hencoops of the late czar of Russia. This particular story, of course, is one of the very best ever sprung about this homely chicken with the naked red neck, but it is hinting that the writer of said story didn't himself believe it. It might be true. It might be. But the United States Department of Agriculture, at least, doesn't believe those "turken" stories. Certainly, they couldn't all be true. The turkey-chicken cross is dismissed by the department as entirely unlikely and as something that hasn't taken place so far as is known. Crosses between pheasants and chickens have been successfully made, it is stated, but "in practically every case the progeny has been of the male sex and sterile." More to the point, however, by way of settling all possible argument on the subject of crosses, is the department's blunt assertion of belief that "the so-called 'turken' is nothing else than the Transylvania naked-necked chicken," which, it would appear, is just plain chicken and nothing else, with somewhat of emphasis on the "plain." About the nearest to the czar's henhouses they ever got, according to apparently reliable information, was the Balkan area in Europe, where they seem to have been more or less popular for many years before any steries got out about them. The "turken" may be a good sort of fowl in spite of its homeliness, but that is for those who raise it to determine. It would seem, however, that its place is in the roster of chickens and not that of weird crosses conjured up by fertile imaginations to make wonder stories. After all, its value will depend upon its performance in the laying house and the impression it makes on that connoisseur of chicken, the minister, when he sits down with the family at Sunday dinner. TWO STATE PICNICS Every former resident of New Mexico is included in the wide open call issued by Judge M. C. Spicer, president, to attend the annual spring picnic reunion all day Saturday, April 28, in Sycamore Grove park. President Spicer will offer all the usual attractions, including the county registers, hot coffee, silk badges, and a fine program. He has secured the sections known as the "Sunken Gardens," where they can have their separate place in the best part of the IT'S BACK AGAIN That queer-looking fowl, the "turken" has bobbled up again, this time in an Arizona farm paper, where a breeder of the helpless poultry freak solemnly repeats the old yarn about its supposed origin in the imperial hencoops of the late czar of Russia. This particular story, of course, is one of the very best ever sprung about this homely chicken with the naked red neck, but it is rather surprising to see the thing being revived after all that various poultry authorities have had to say on the subject. Time was when the poor beasts were exhibited as crosses between turkeys and chickens, but that one rather played out when scientific gentlemen explained, with evident annoyance, that it couldn't be done. Then other marvelous stories began to be heard. The one about the royal keeper of poor Nick's henyard fleeing from the wicked bolsheviks with a "sacred," and doubtless, bare-necked chicken under each arm was, in its day, one of the best of all. The birds, described as a breed created by crossing pheasants and chickens, were said to be the sole survivors of a flock kept solely for royal consumption, and guarded so jealously that it had meant Siberia for anyone outside the royal family even to have one in his possession. The bolsheviks, presumably, ate the ones the czar's fleeing hired man left behind. Farm and Orchard wouldn't dream of Every former resident of New Mexico is included in the wide open call issued by Judge M. C.

All the Oklahoma people in Southern California, resident or visiting, are invited to the big annual picnic reunion all day Saturday, April 28, at Sycamore Grove park. Headquarters and registers will be open to all and hot coffee served for all picnickers. The program will follow the basket dinner hour and will include song and oratory. Hon.
