G. O. P. Delegates To Leave June 6 Trainload of Enthusiasts Will Invade Convention City Beginning their enthusiastic pilgrimage to Kansas City for the national Republican convention, which opens June 12, California's southern district delegates, accompanied by a host of interested friends, will leave Los Angeles on Tuesday, June 5, on special cars attached to the Southern Pacific's Padre. The train, going by way of Oakland pier, will arrive in San Francisco at 9:30 a.m., June 6, where its passengers will be met by the delegates from the north. The California convention special, which will include the cars from the south, banner bedecked, will leave San Francisco the same afternoon at 4 o'clock. In route there will be a two-hour stop-over at Denver, Colo., where although plans are not yet definite, it is expected that the passengers will be met by some special demonstration of Hoover sentiment in that city. The special is scheduled to arrive in Kansas City at 8:15 a.m., June 9. Headquarters will be in the Aladdin hotel. Several of the delegates, including Julius Kraemer, of Orange; Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Mrs. Charles F. Van de Water, and Senator F. P. Flint are already in the East and will meet their fellow Californians at Kansas City. Among those who will accompany the delegates from here are: G. B. Bush, comptroller, Hoover headquarters; M. E. Silberberg and Isaac Jones, of Ontario, floor leader in assembly at the last session of the California legislature. The Californians will carry with them as a "booster" display, samples of fruit and other products from the Golden State for distribution. It is expected that arrangements will be made for special entertainment and programs en route, but details are not as yet complete. Auto Club Lauds Orange County Park Orange County park, located approximately 40 miles from Los Angeles and reached by splendid paved roads through either Downey, Norwalk, Fullerton and Anaheim to Orange or via Whittler, La Habra, Anaheim and Olive makes a splendid objective for a one-day motor trip, according to the touring department of the National Auto-mobile Club. This is an ideal picnic spot, being thickly wooded with immense oaks, sycamores and wild walnut trees which are now at their loveliest. The green vines which cling to the branches of these trees form a ladder here—a trellis there, and on the whole, give the appearance of an Amazon wilderness. So well has the natural beauty of this spot been preserved that it much more resembles a wild woodland than a modern, well-equipped park. Innumerable outdoor fireplaces, tables and benches have been provided for picnic groups, and a special section has been set aside for a children's playground. Here are to be found slides, teeter-toters, swings and sand piles. Pony rides may also be had for a nominal charge. Fruit Exchange Big User of Mail Service: Figures which have been compiled by the advertising department of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange Show that during the first half of 1927 a total of 671,359 pieces of mail were sent from that department. The outgoing mail of the other departments brought the total to approximately 800,000 pieces, better than 133,000 per month or between 5,000 and 6,000 pieces of mail per day leaving the exchange offices in Los Angeles. During this six months' period the dealer service department sent 408,978 pieces of mail and the education department 111,775 pieces. The other 150,606 pieces were sent to consumers who requested acidosis material, recipe booklets and other literature or information. One of the largest mailings for the INDIANA AND CALIFORNIA Like that in California, the great vote received by Herbert C. Hoover in the Indiana presidential primary election was a strong expression of the popular demand for his nomination by the Kansas City convention of the Republican party. It would have bordered on the miraculous had Hoover won the Indiana primary. Many hoped for such victory, but few believed it possible and they only the over-enthusiastic supporters of the Californian. He had gone single-handed into a contest with one of the most powerful political machines in the country, an organization that has been years in building, that reaches into every county and township and voting procluct, that is supported by practically every influential newspaper in the state and controls the local, state and federal patronage. Yet he came near winning. He gave Senator Watson Indiana's "favorite son," the run of his life. The best political authorities everywhere had estimated Watson's majority would be 150,000. Hoover cut him down to a mere 25,000. The result adds prestige to Hoover's candidacy. The vote he received in Indiana shows the strength of his hold upon the mass of the people, the men and women whose votes reflect their individual preference. It showed him able to go into a mid-western state, where it had been supposed that he would prove weak, and without organized effort, but by sheer force of popular appeal, divide the vote almost everly with one who had been a lifetime planning and organizing for the contest. Of course, had the miracle been wrought, and Hoover had won in the Indiana primary, it would have been forced upon Republicans in all the states to regard the contest for the nomination closed. It would have proved at once the futility of opposition to his choice by the national convention. And that condition probably was only slightly delayed. The vote certainly shows Hoover the strong second choice of the people of Indiana, and the 33 delegates from that state, who nithy have obeyed the majority mandate to vote in the convention for the nomination of Senator Watson so long as there may seem a chance of his nomination, if they respect the will of their own people can do nothing else but give their votes to Hoover. Citrus Growers to Meet at Fullerton The Annual Citrus Growers' Pest Control School for Southern California will be held at Fullerton on June 30, according to word just received from the regional citrus department board in session last week in Los Angeles. An invitation sent out by the Orange County Extension Service and Farm Bureau was accepted by the board. The purpose of the pest control school formation on the progress of pest con- tacts to bring the latest authoritative intrul problems in Southern California Reports will be presented by entomologists, horticultural commissioners, farm adivors and exchange field officials. ADDRESS AT GETTYSBURG President Coolidge's announcement of his intention to deliver his Memorial Day address at Gettysburg, instead of at the amphitheatre at Arlington National Cemetery, is unusual as well as interesting. He will be the second President since Lincoln to deliver a Memorial Day address on the field at Gettysburg, the same field which inspired the original Lincoln address of dedication. President Roosevelt is the one chief executive who up to this time has been the sole follower of the Lincoln precedent. It is always a futile undertaking to attempt to speculate on the motivating thought behind any move of President Coolidge. The newspaper and other publicists have long since learned that embarking on such an adventure results in but poor forecasts. It can be said, now, however, that the country on the whole will applaud the President's determination. It is a good thing for us all that once in so often, but not so often as to become a commonplace, that the Chief Executive should for a while forego the usual routine of speaking at the graves at Arlington and speak upon the field itself where the success was won which made not only Arlington a possibility, but the Lincoln memorial as well. Schedule to Chicago The vote certainly shows Hoover the strong second choice of the people of Indiana, and the 33 delegates from that state, who have obeyed the majority mandate to vote in the convention for the nomination of Senator Watson so long as there may seem a chance of his nomination, if they respect the will of their own people can do nothing else but give their votes to Hoover. California's outpouring of votes for Hoover in the primary on May 1, when although there was no contest more than a half million Republican men and women went to the polls and cast ballots for him, was an expression of popular confidence in the man and desire for him to be the chief executive of the country. And such in fact was the vote in Indiana, as it had been in Ohio before, and in Massachusetts, and in Michigan, and in the several states, East and West, North and South. Not the politicians but the people ask for Hoover for President, and the people will not be denied. NEGRO WOMAN SOLON We have become accustomed to seeing women in high public office, having had one as United States senator, several in the lower-branch of congress, two as governors, and many in the legislatures of the several states. But a negro woman of West Virginia is believed to be the only woman of her race to hold the office of representative in a state legislature. How she came to this position is told in a letter from George W. Sharp, secretary of state, who writes: "E. Howard Harper, colored, was a member of the last session of the West Virginia legislature. Some time ago Howard died, and under the laws of the state the county executive committee of McDowell county recommended the appointment of Harper's wife to fill out his unexpired term. Under this recommendation the governor appointed her to serve out the unexpired term of her husband." And that's that. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Opening Sale of Business Property Subdivision at Serra Now Being Placed on the Market For the first time since 1858, business lots in the town of Serra, half way between Los Angeles and San Diego, will be placed on sale on Sunday, May 27, at 7 a.m. The property is owned and will be sold by L. W. Coffee & Company, Inc., of Los Angeles. Mr. Coffee, founder and pioneer of Capitrano Beach, where lots are now said to be selling for three times their opening prices, has issued the following statement concerning his Serra business property: "Following the original subdivision of Capitrano Beach, San Clemente and later Dana Point were put on the market. These three properties are contiguous, with Capitrano Beach in the middle, and together they form one of the greatest beach developments in the history of the Pacific coast. The small wedge-shaped town of Serra is squeezed in between these big projects and is their logical business center. It is at the junction of the Roosevelt highway and the Los Angeles-San Diego highway, and it also marks the spot near which the Santa Fe railroad reaches the ocean on its way southward. There is already a railroad station at this point. Anyone who travels either by rail or motor car, between Los Angeles and San Diego and who is familiar with the wonderful beach development in this district will appreciate the strategic location of Serra and its future importance as a distributing center. This townsite was originally laid out by the Pacific Improvement Company in 1858. It was formerly known as San Juan-by-the-Sea. It was platted with a view of ample access to every business lot, with 60 to 80-foot streets and 20-foot alleys, providing front and rear entrances to every lot. The prices at which this property will be offered on the opening date, at terms to suit the market, are not provided here. There is an old saying that 'more water runs through the mill that wets the miller off'; and this is true of the mill we call congress. I dare say the average busy person knows little and cares less about congress, except to get a wrong impression of what it really is and of what it does. From the gallery, the idea is conveyed to the uninformed that it is a do-nothing body and given to 'much heap' talk. It does talk a lot, but it works harder than it talks. The real work is done behind the scenes, not behind closed doors, but out of view of most people. Congress is not only a hard working body but a much-worked body. Propagandists add to its troubles. Members work on an average of ten to fourteen hours a day, and even their social hours are not free from official cares and intrusion. Congress always has been and probably always will be the butt of coarse jokes and quips. It has no comeback. A teacher asked a class of youngsters: "Of what is congress composed?" The answer came back from a little urchin: "Vitalized half civilized and savage." This is fairly good illustration of what a lot of great folks think who believe, and seem to want to believe, the mean and unjust things said of their own representatives. Congress, no matter what it does or fails to do, will never escape criticism or receive due need of commentation. And still the fact remains that congress is a fundamental creation of the Constitution. It is a free people institution. It is no better nor worse than the people choose to make it. It represents the sovereignty of the American people. Its deeds are the people's deeds. The people make and unmake it." United States First In Paint Output Comprising the most important and least-saturated domestic market of its kind in the world, the United States manufactures more paint and varnish and exports less than any other great nation. With 60 per cent of the world's production of pigments of all kinds to her credit, America exports only 1 per cent of its total output. It was shown in an employes of County Attend Park Picnic More Than 600 Men and Women Enjoy Saturday Outing More than 600 people, county officials and employees and their families, enjoyed an outing at the county park Saturday. Indication that the annual fun-fest is becoming more popular each year was contained in the fact that approximately 200 more men and women and children were at the dinner table in the evening than ever were tagged at previous meetings of the organization. It was reported that dinner was served to 640 persons. The program started early in the afternoon with a baseball game between teams representing the court-house and real department as one of principal features. Kenneth E. Merriam, justice of the peace, captained the courthouse team, and Nat H. Neff, superintendent of the road department, was "chief high mogul" for the boys who work in the road department. Reports differ as to the score that was made, but there seems to be some official confirmation of the report that the office boys beat the road gang to the tune of 18 to 4. With W. K. Duffy directing preparation of the feast, the county employees and their families enjoyed a barbecued ham dinner, and the menu and service was up to the standard maintained by the chef. At a brief business session, Morrison was elected president of the association to succeed Sheriff Sam Jernigan, and Miss Justine Whitney, recorder, was chosen by Morrison to officiate as his secretary. Following the dinner, a stunt was pulled when Walter Myers, motorcycle officer, feigned illness and Dr. H. E. Zalser, superintendent of the county hospital and farm performed an operation for appendicitis. The surgeon dexterously removed several pieces of anatomy that were said to be causing... United States First In Paint Output Comprising the most important and least-saturated domestic market of its kind in the world, the United States manufactures more paint and varnish and exports less than any other great nation. With 60 per cent of the world's production of pigments of all kinds to her credit, America exports only 1 per cent of its total output. It was shown in an industry report released by the Brininstool Paint Company of Los Angeles. The report was compiled for Frank M. Brininstool, president of the firm, in connection with the Barreled Sunlight and Flex sales campaigns now under way in California. "In spite of what appears to be a highly competitive market, America consumes today practically every quart of color manufactured within her own borders and clamors for more," the executive stated. "One noticeable feature of the home consumption, however, is the fact that only quality products of the highest protective value are in constant demand. Nowhere else in America is this quality market so pronounced as in California, climatic conditions here probably having educated the public to the understanding that cheap paint is cheap economy." A survey of the foreign trade statistics for 1927 revealed the astonishing fact that for many years past the value of the ingredients imported into the United States for paint making exceeded by far the value of turpentine, paint and varnish finished products exported. As an instance, Brininstool quoted the figures on China wood oil, a necessary ingredient of varnish, imports of which last year amounted to $11,810,000, whereas the total exports of gum and wood turpentine from this country amounted to $9,589,000. Total value of the imports of China wood oil, shellac and varnish gums comprise approximately one-sixth of the total chemical imports of the United States, the review disclosed.
