Fifty thousand tickets have been placed on sale throughout Southern California, and the actual advance sale to date is estimated to be in excess of 10,000. It was stated by A. E. Hargrove, chairman of the ticket committee. George L. Eastman, president of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, will officially as master of ceremonies at the opening program, May 24.

Reid, several days ago, that only six of the 31 spaces in the automobile tent remain to be disposed of. The show grounds and tents are veritable hives of activity, with scores of workmen engaged in putting up decorations and preparing the booths and racks for some of the most elaborate displays seen at a similar exhibition in the West. The Aladdin motif is everywhere in evidence—in the huge dragons, Forty Thieves jars, jewel caves, mystic caverns, exotic lighting effects and in every detail of the decorative scheme. The entertainment program for the 1928 Valencia show is the most elaborate provided for any previous expoition in Orange county. Scores of professional entertainers will be on hand during the entire eleven days of the show and a half dozen bands and orchestras will contribute their quota to the festivities.

Valencia Crop Now On Way to Market Northern Orange County Shipped 100 Cars Last Week The Valencias are rolling! Packed with the choicest product of northern Orange county's citrus groves, more than 100 refrigerator cars are speeding to various markets throughout the country, first-major shipments of thousands that will bring a golden flood of millions of dollars into this district during the season. Figures on last week's loadings from this region were procured by a check-up at exchange and independent packing houses. With a high market reported and a strong demand for Valencias, shipments have been going out steadily this week as more packing houses started on the new season, according to the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, which reported 85 cars of fruit shipped during the past week in this district. Independent shippers and other sales organizations are preparing for the season opening with the expectation that an even greater quality of fruit will head for eastern markets this week. Picking in some spots has revealed an even lighter crop than was anticipated, although in other sections in this district the quantity has come up to expectations. Quality is high, with a strong demand and top prices, with indications that there will be little drop in the market. A steady advance was noted through most of the week, according to the exchange, prices holding firm with no gain yesterday. Rain earlier in the week somewhat handicapped the picking, but due to the spotted nature of the showers, pickers were busy in some sections at virtually all times, held here. More than 300 contestants have entered the race, and pretty girls will come from Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cuba, as well as from all parts of California, to compete for the coveted title. As it is one of the most spectacular contests possible to watch, thousands of fans will be on hand to cheer the plucky victor on to her goal. Orange men all over the country are backing this contest, since they feel that it brings a great deal of deserved interest to this municipality Now Property to Value of Total Assessed Vehicle City $12,266,185 Permits During Y gate $439,832; For Year Less T CITY CLERK MEMBERMITTED his annual council Thursday evening the fiscal year April 30, 1928.

Fire Chief R. Nyboe fires in the city and ties The entertainment program for the 1928 Valencia show is the most elaborate provided for any previous exposition in Orange county. Scores of professional entertainers will be on hand during the entire eleven days of the show and a half dozen bands and orchestras will contribute their quota to the festivities. Entries are coming in from many sections in the orange packing contest for the world's championship, and also for the fancy packing contest. Excursion rates, which became effective on transcontinental lines May 15, are expected to materially increase the number of eastern visitors to the show, as will the special rates granted by the Pacific-Electric Railway and Motor Transit Company. The show of this year will weave the witchery of Arabian Night Tales and Aladdin and his wonderful Lamp into ten glorious days. A strange artistry will hold eay. Exhibits of Valencia oranges building up Oriental gardens ... magic caverns ... Chinese palaces will carry the visitor to the cave in which Aladdin found himself with his lamp where trees grew with fruit of huge rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pearls—and to the emperor's court, where Aladdin sent in slaves, twenty black and twenty white, each carrying a tray laden with precious jewels. Bizarre lights, unusual and exotic, casting the color of romance into every nook and corner, make it seem only natural that magicians, slant-eyed princesses, moguls, and slave girls appear. And everywhere, the gold of the orange predominates. A step into another tent brings a world of modern reality again where complicated machinery operates with almost super-human smoothness. The room is airy, spotless. A model orange packing plant is in operation. Machines hum with precision as oranges go through the careful processes of sorting and washing before reaching a skin girl with deft fingers who wraps and packs them faster, almost than the eye can follow. The Second Annual World Championship Orange Packing Contest is to be held here. More than 300 contestants have entered the race, and pretty girls will come from Texas. Florida, Louisiana, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Cuba, as well as from all parts of California, to compete for the coveted title. As it is one of the most spectacular contests possible to watch, thousands of fans will be on hand to cheer the plucky victor on to her goal. Orange men all over the country are backing this contest, since they feel that it brings a great deal of deserved interest to this particular branch of the industry. A number of silver cups, as well as many valuable prizes go to the winner. The champion of last year, Miss Marjorie Richards, as well as a likely winner from Florida, and the champion packer of Mexico, Miss Constance Estrada, will be in the contest this year. An industrial exhibit, housed under a special tent of its own, presents many amazing new developments of this highly industrial age. Machinery of all kinds will be in evidence—especially that which has to do with the growing and harvesting of Valencia oranges. Featured here, a radio show forming a complete unit by itself will be displayed, while an automobile show will be another noteworthy attraction. Special programs will round out each day's events. Stars from movieland will claim their share of spotlight attention on one special evening when they present a magnificent extravaganza. A junior college carnival offers another night of entertainment, and an American Legion Day promises much that is bovel and adventurous. One grand and glorious event for those youngsters who are lucky enough to attend will be a Kiddies' Day. Galactic reigns supreme in a section of its own, where the fakirs, the slight-of-hand artist, the sword swallower, and the snake charmer rub elbows with bearded ladies, giants, and dwarfs. Fortune tellers from out of the occult East are ready to read the stars in the way of the ancients. Magicians will perform again the mysteries which have for ages remained 'secret to the Orient. Toy balloons and pretty baubles, popcorn and trained monkeys will add the last joyous note of color that might be expected at any pageant, modern or ancient. Demands against the council approved the Southern California pany, showing a gross franchise of $1,014.46 for filing December 31, 1927, paid the city $20.29 as tax on that income, and terms of the franchise operate in Anaheim.

Junior Class Presents Comedy 'Buddies,' Story of Late War, Chosen as School Play On Thursday and Friday evenings, May 17 and 18, the junior class of the Anaheim Union high school will present its annual play. They have chosen a comedy of the late war. "Buddies," This is an exceptionally clever comedy dealing with the American soldiers in France after the armistice and before their return to America. The cast of the play is as follows: Sunny.....Arval Morris Julie.....Cecile Lenain Babe.....Joe Bushard Louise.....Winifred Beebe Buddle.....Eric Borchert Johnnie.....Jack Weatherly Rube.....Lelan Alsip Biff.....Jack Barnett Abe.....Harold McKeehan Orderly.....Lawrence Polrier Madame Benoit.....Alice Ashley Babbett.....Helen Brown Marie.....Ruby Wilbern Alfonse.....Vincent Huarte Cecile Lenain, a real French girl, very ably takes the lead as Julie. Julie's mother, Madame Benoit (Alice Ashley), well known in musical circles, is blackmailled into forcing Julie to marry Alfonse, the villain of the play. This part is taken by Vincent Huarte, who is also part French. The solution of this blackmail forms the plot of the story, with two rather complicated love stories to furnish amusement. Jack Wetherly, as Johnny, gives his buddie good although amusing advice as to how to woo a girl. These buddies lend real war-time picturization to the play, and as in all plays of the war, furnish the humor. Their campfire scenes, in which they sing songs and tell stories, as only soldiers can bring memories to those who have been overseas. Tuesday and Wednesday nights will be dressed rehearsal performances. Reserve seats went on sale at the Henry Brothers' pharmacy Monday.

Mr. Jessurun was born in Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, South America. When a youth he was sent to Europe to be educated, and at the age of 25 came to America and became identified with the sugar industry. This was his work until the Anaheim plant was dismantled. Surviving him are his widow, three daughters, Mrs. Jack Asher of Los Angeles, Mrs. Rex Gibson of San Pedro, and Mrs. William S. Gibbs of Los Angeles; a sister in Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, and a brother in Harlam, Holland. At the bedside when the end came were his widow, his daughter Mrs. Asher and the Rev Charles E.

Heinz Valencia grove, located at the corner of Janass and Water streets, at a consideration of $14,000. At the same time an option was taken on the remaining portion of the nearly five-acre tract at the stipulated consideration of $7000. As the option is due to expire May 28 next, the board has decided to exercise its option without further delay. Previous to purchasing this site, the board acquired a four and a half-acre tract on North Palm street, the grammar school district now being well prepared for the growth of population and assured well located sites for future additional school buildings, he pointed out.

The sons are Phil, Pasqual, and Aurelio, all of Anaheim; and the daughters, Miss Matilda Daniels, Miss Hortense Daniels, Mrs. Esther Orantes, Mrs. Sara Underwood, and Mrs. Aurora Schaya, all of Anaheim; Mrs. Lina Retes of Los Angeles, Mrs. Ophelia Corona of San Francisco, Mrs. Mary Creveston of Idaho, and Mrs. Ygnagio Rangel of Santa Monica. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at St. Boniface's church, and interment was in Holy Cross cemetery. As speaker of the day, Dr. John Snape, pastor of Central Baptist church of Los Angeles declared that a mother could not have produced Macbeth, but a mother did produce Shakespeare. He said that a mother could not have accomplished that which is credited to Julius Ceasar, but that without the mother there could have been no Ceasar. "Kiwanians," said the speaker, "are regular fellows. They participate in the affairs of their community in a way that makes them regular fellows." To be the kind of regular fellow I mean, a man must have a mind trained along the right lines, a body kept in health by correct habits and exercise, nerves properly disciplined, and a soul looking for the right thing. Board Approves Widening Road Boulevard Joining Anaheim and Fullerton to Be 56 Feet Pavement of the boulevard between Anaheim and Fullerton is to be widened to 56 feet. The board of supervisors Tuesday approved the plan of the county highway department, and directed that the matter be submitted to the Fullerton city council. Approval of the Fullerton council is required by reason of the fact that on a small portion of the highway, one half lies within the Fullerton city limits, the other half being outside. The Fullerton boundary "jogs" for a short distance at the state highway. It was explained. By its next meeting, next Tuesday, the board of supervisors is expected to adopt a resolution of intention to proceed with the $80,000 program, which calls for a boulevard 56 feet wide. Half of the cost will be paid by the state, the remaining half to be paid by the county and by an assessment district. The county pays one-eighth, the assessment district three-eighths.
