State Blue Book to Boost This County Recites an Amazing Story of Rapid Development The modern romance of Orange county will be broadcast to the world this year through California's greatest official publicity medium, The Blue Book. The amazing story of wealth and industry which the present generation is reaping as the result of settlers' efforts in the district will be told for the first time between the covers of the one volume recognized as the official chronicle of Californias progress and achievements. The story has been exceedingly well told, Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, responsible for editing the book, declared in acknowledging co-operation of civic organizations of Orange county in its preparation. "Orange county occupies a central position among the countries of Southern California. Its nearness to practically all the cities, harbors, beach, and mountain resorts of the Southland is an advantage of real consequence in every-day life." recites the article devoted to the county, thus summing in a few words the strategic location of the county. The statement continues: "Orange county is pre-eminently distinguished in many ways— "For the infinite variety of its products. "For its rich soil and abundance of water, producing a superior quality and quantity of products. "For its excellent system of paved highways covering practically the entire county. "For the excellence of its schools. "For its scenic beauty and recreational possibilities. "For its ideal summer as well as winter climate. "According to the last government survey, the population of Orange county nearly doubled in 10 years. Every indication points to a greater growth during the next 10 years." Accidents Decreasing Near School Houses A sharp decrease in the number of motor accidents to children in the vicinity of school houses in the rural districts of California, resulting from the junior traffic reserve system established a few months ago, was reported by the Division of Motor Vehicles. While complete figures on accidents for the first three months of the year are still unavailable, division officials said early returns indicated that the toll in killed and injured over last year had been reduced more than one-third. The junior traffic patrol and the right enforcement by traffic officers of law prohibiting driving past school houses at a speed in excess of 15 miles an hour were held responsible. The organization of the patrols has been conducted by the state inspectors and traffic officers in co-operation with California State Automobile Association. So successful has the experiment become that Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, is planning to organize the patrols in every county in California. The boys that work on the squad are, in effect, junior traffic officers since they are clothed with authority to report violations of the law. In case a motorist disobeys a signal, the junior officer takes his number and reports it to the police authorities. The recalcitrant motorist is thereafter given his choice of apologizing to the boy-officer in front of his class or telling it to the judge. The boys are selected by the principal of each school. The boys may be between the ages of 12 and sound physically and high in their classes. In some schools membership iff the squads has been made a reward for good scholarship. The squads are composed of five boys, one a sergeant, who is in charge, and four patrolmen. The squads work in alternate shifts so that the duty does not become so arduous that the boys lose interest. The principal duty of the squads is to direct traffic in front of the schools during the rush hours by providing lanes of safety through which they are concheled. "For its rich soil and abundance of water, producing a superior quality and quantity of products." "For its excellent system of paved highways covering practically the entire county." "For the excellence of its schools." "For its scenic beauty and recreational possibilities." "For its ideal summer as well as winter climate." "According to the last government survey, the population of Orange county nearly doubled in 10 years. Every indication points to a greater growth during the next 10 years." "The cities of Orange county possess in a marked degree, the essential requirements for the successful operation of industrial plants of practically every nature." "With an abundance of pure water, cheap electricity, natural gas, four excellent railroads, Orange county's harbor at Newport bay giving direct transportation to the seaports of the world, and a climate that insures perfect working conditions every day in the year." "Great opportunities also abound where water meets land in the land-locked harbor adjacent to large centers of population. Newport bay, with an area of seven square miles, is located almost in the center of Orange county's 40-mile coast lines and but a few miles from the population and industrial centers of Southern California. A harbor which in the future will be developed and play an important part in the commercial activities of the Southland." "Many are the attractions that are drawing the thousands of people each year from all over the United States and Canada to make their home in California—but the magnet which draws and holds them together than all the others is our matchless climate." "The broad, equable ocean current on the west and the majestic mountains on the east, forming a protecting wall from the midwinter winds, make our winter days uniformly warm and pleasant. Year after year the most tender vegetation goes through the winter without showing any effects of frost. In summer the same mountains protect us from the heat of the interior and the cool breezes from the mighty ocean temper the noon-day sun so that our days are uniformly cool and pleasant, and at night blankets are always welcome." "The Pacific ocean is the principal factor in the stabilizing of Orange county's climate, and naturally the coolest summers and the warmest winters are experienced, due to this great body of water." "The people of Orange county are growing more than 100 varieties of the avocado (alligator pear) and there is a wonderful future for this autocrat of the fruit family. The avocado has a food value that equals prime sirloin." "Many tropical and semi-tropical fruits are grown successfully in Orange county. Some of these fruite hold out promises of great commercial value for the future." Talks by Radio on Avocado Culture Four talks about avocados will be given on successive Saturdays by officers of the California Avocado Association and the Calavo Growers of California. On April 28, "Marketing Avocados" will be discussed by C. V. Newman, president of the Calavo Growers of California. On May 5 all those questions you have regarding how to eat the fruit, when they are ripe, etc., will be answered by E. C. Dutton, president, California Avocado Association. On May 12, "Growing an Avocado Orchard" will be described by Mr. Newman. On May 19, Dr. J. Elliot Coit, director of the association, will discuss avocado varieties. Remember, there are about 400 of them. Needless to say, Dr. Coit will not mention all of them in talk. These talks will be over statistic KFI as part of the Agricultural Extension Service daily radio broadcast at 12:15 noon. GERMANY IS BUSY In the production of synthetic commodities Germany is making marvelous strides. In addition to pure alcohol from smoke and furnace waste, synthetic nitrates, dyes, liquid coal, oil and gases, Germany is now producing 10,090 tons per month of synthetic gasoline for use in airplanes and motors. Germany has a bill to pay England, France and Belgium that cannot be met except by selling its products to the world—and she proposes to make her own markets. The present slogan of woman's style seems to be "shorter and fewer."

Vegetables grown in China are in disfavor in that country, because of the long neglect of those sanitary precautions which are essential to health. On the other hand, California grown products are in active demand, because of their established wholesomeness. Forty million Chinese of the more opulent type, and a half million foreigners in China are hungry for the high class fruits and salad ingredients for which California is famous, and which with modern methods of refrigeration can be landed in distant ports in perfect condition. In the California Journal of Development for January, the subject of foreign markets for farmers is discussed in intimate fashion by H. B. Stock, president of the General Steamship Company, who states that from 1922 to 1926 the fresh fruit export business of the United States expanded from $24,000,000 to $53,000,000 annually. There are opportunities for greater growth of this trade. The East Indies offer another outlet for fresh produce, which can be produced there only by importation. Other tropical countries which have their own native fruits do not grow many of the crops that flourish in California, and a taste for these dainties can be created readily. Thus sugar and bananas, pineapples and other exports of the tropics can be exchanged for California's citrus and deciduous fruits, and for lettuce, celery, spinach and other delicacies so popular on the American table. The same refrigerator ships that carry the soil wealth of California to the Orient also transport California ice cream, which likewise is finding favor abroad. These items are merely typical of the possibilities that are opening to the people of the Pacific coast for the development of foreign trade. Possibly mistakes will be made; but there is a market somewhere, for California commodities of every kind. To bring producer and consumer into mutually profitable contact is a problem that invites keen business minds. It is announced that the "super-conscious mind" has been discovered in France. Shucks, that's nothing new! We've got a lot of them among our American intelligentsia. Places to Angle for Trout After May 1 Southern California Streams and Lakes Offer Good Sport Many good fishing waters in Southern California will lure motorizing sportsmen with the opening of trout season May 1. Angelers will be wise, however, in playing their favorite fishing pools early after the opening, for streams generally have been unusually low and many are likely to be fished out within a few weeks. Choice waters can nevertheless be found in every Southland county, according to Ceph B. Sallabury, who has made a detailed pre-season investigation into the situation in all sections. Among the most likely streams and lakes where a mess of trout may be taken are the following: In Los Angeles county, the San Gabriel river and its tributaries, San Antonio creek, in the vicinity of Camp Baldy, and the Big Tujunga near Hansen's Camp. San Bernardino county offers unusually good trailing possibilities at Arrowhead lake especially early and late in the season. Balt fishing is good at all times. All boats, however, have already engaged for the first week. Perch and catfish are also caught. Big I/O good trailing are still available. Deep likely no fishes but fish from Bing.

Big Bear lake last year furnished good trout and also bass angling and is again expected to be good. Boats are still available. Deep creek is considered the most likely stream, although it is heavily fished, while Holcomb creek, reached from Big Bear lake, furnishes fair fishing. Bear creek is a favorite stream of good canyon hikers. Mill creek, Lytle creek and Santa Ana river generally furnish anglers with a few trout. Some of the best fishing available in districts Nos. 4 and 4½ will be found in San Diego county's reservoirs. Most of them are stocked with large mouth black bass, crapples, and blue gill perch. The likely lakes are Morena, Barrett, Cuyamaca, Henshaw, Hodges, Lower Otay, Murray or La Mesa, and Sweet-water reservoirs. Boulder creek and Cedar creeks, located at the headwaters of the San Diego river, offer the angler fair fishing during the season. Due to cold weather and water, the fish in district No. 4½, Inyo and Mono counties, are not through spawning in May, so the season does not open until May 30, but the district offers some of the finest trout fishing in the state, it is claimed. If the Fish and Game Commission plant 6 to 8-inch trout in Southern California streams each week as contemplated, it will be a life-saver to many anglers of the south, and should be welcomed with open arms by all anglers. YOUTH AND ADVERTISING Fifty years ago boys and girls were adept at weaving rag rugs, knotting quilts, carding wool, spinning home-spun and stretching carpets. Today boys and girls know the entire a b c of the automobile, the electric house-hold utensils, the steam heat system, the aeroplane, and the radio. But the youth of today knows little of what constituted the store of knowledge of the youth of yesterday. The omniscience of youth in every era is ever amazing, but that of today would be inexplicable but for one thing more than all others. That is advertising. In the newspapers, magazines and poster boards children are finding a vast store house of practical and useful information and instruction. The value of this incidentally acquired knowledge cannot be measured in classroom hours. The youth of America is finding that advertising pays. Psychologists have expounded the theory that truths are sometimes observed first by the adolescent. In the case of advertising it may truthfully be said that there are some of mature age who have not yet learned the value of advertising. Advertisers do not buy newspaper, magazine or billboard space for the edification of the public, either juvenile or adult, but they recognized the children of today are not only a potent factor in the business of today but the deciding factors in the business of tomorrow.
