Laundry Workers Enjoy An Outing Southern Service Workers Picnic At County Park Orange County Park last Sunday was the mecca for some twenty-five hundred Southern Service Company employees, the occasion being the First Annual Picnic at which the officials of the company, the managers of the twenty-six laundries and dry cleaning plants, operated by the company, and the salesmen and other workers met together for a day of sports, games, dancing, and mutual good fellowship. According to J. A. Landale, manager of the Anaheim Laundry, the program went off without a hitch. Members of the Pacific Laundry, San Pedro, were so enthusiastic that they camped at the park Saturday night, thus gaining the honor of being the first comers, although Jack Landale, manager of the Anaheim Laundry, who was chairman of the Park Arrangements committee, together with W. D. Peterkin, route superintendent of the same plant, and C. D. Weeks of Santa Ana Laundry, arrived in the early morning hours in order to have everything in readiness. The next arrivals were R. H. Clanton, manager of Riverside Laundry, with Harry Alvord of San Bernardino and M. Peters of Riverside Laundry, chairman and members of the Refreshment committee, who had been appointed by T. J. Brownrigg, general sales manager of the Southern Service company, to provide free lemonade and coffee for all comers. Members from all plants had arrived by eleven o'clock and included managers and workers with their families from Anaheim Laundry, Anaheim; Bay City Lingo Supply, San Diego; Bembough and Duggan, San Diego; Crescent Cleaners, Santa Ana; Dagwell's Laundry, Los Angeles; Enterprise Laundry, Los Angeles; Electric Laundry San Diego; Hub City Laundry, Colton; Long Beach and Model Laundries and Long Beach Linen Supply, Long Beach; Monrovia Laundry, Monrovia; Munger's Laundry, San Diego; Marine Laundry, Wilmington; Nu-Way Laundry, Orange; Ontario Laundry, Ontario; Pearlss Laundry, San Diego. 4-H County Club Plans Excursion The planning of an excursion to the famous Kellogg Arabian Horse Farms at Spadra was the principal event of the July meeting of the Orange County 4-H Club Council, held in the farm advisor's office on the evening of the 27th. After visiting the horse farm in the morning plans to proceed to Pomona for lunch. A baseball game and a swim will provide recreation for the boys before their return home in time for the evening meal at home. It is planned to make the trip on Wednesday, August 15. The president, H. J. Hinrichs, was directed to appoint committees for the staging of the 4-H exhibits at the Orange County Fair. The agricultural exhibits of the Junior Fair will be exclusively 4-H material, and the council expects to make the exhibits very much worthwhile and interesting. Movies of the Junior Aggie Day were shown after which refreshments were served by members of the Yorba Linda Club—even the cake was made by one of the boys, and it was certainly excellent cake. To Stage Barbecue At Yorba Linda By E. E. EASTMAN George Quigley, leader of the 4-H Club at Yorba Linda, promised the heat a barbecue if they beat the Tugtut Club's ball team on Junior Aggie Day. He fulfilled this promise last Wednesday; assisted by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Moritz, et al. The goat is now a memorial, and its skin forever advertised—the name of Tugtut. The goat originally belonged to George Quigley, but he or someone painted the name of Tugtut on the skin to signify that Yorba Linda did get Tugtut's gont on the memorable day. Sweet corn, sandwichee coffee, melons and other "fixins" accompanied the barbecued remainder of the goat, to the pleasure and satisfaction of the club members and parents present. Harold Case, assistant leader of the Tugtut Club, was an invited guest, and stated that the Tugtut boys are ready to play a return game, and are convinced that the next barbecue will be... by eleven o'clock and included managers and workers with their families from Anaheim Laundry, Anaheim; Bay City Linda Supply, San Diego; Bembough and Duggan, San Diego; Crescent Cleaners, Santa Ana; Dazzell's Laundry, Los Angeles; Enterprise Laundry, Los Angeles; Electric Laundry San Diego; Hub City Laundry, Colton; Long Beach and Model Laundries and Long Beach Linen Supply, Long Beach; Monrovia Laundry, Monrovia; Munger's Laundry, San Diego; Marine Laundry, Wilmington; Nu-Way Laundry, Orange; Ontario Laundry, Ontario; Peerless Laundry, San Diego; Pacific Laundry, San Pedro; Riverside Laundry, Riverside; San Bernardino Laundry and Valley Towel and Linen Supply, San Bernardino; Sanitary Laundry, Pomona; Santa Ana Laundry, Santa Ana; Troy Laundry, Covina; Wilmington, and Nu-Way Laundry, San Diego. Motion pictures for showing at the Improvement club meetings which are held monthly by the different delegations upon arrival and of the entire crowd, as well as of the small army of uniformed salesmen, nearly three hundred in number. Flashes were taken during the different games and contests and of the winners. The Reception committee was made up of all plant manager, plant and route superintendents and before long every one was on a friendly footing with fellow employees from even the distant plants and all entered heartily into the program of sports which had been prepared by Gordon Whyto, manager of Pomona Sanitary Laundry, who was chairman of the Sports committee aided by C. E. Ledbutter of Monrovia Laundry; Clem Nelbol of Ontario Laundry; M. A. Teobee of Pomona Sanitary Laundry; H. E. Wells of Long Beach Laundry, and E. W. Ross of Model Laundry, Long Beach. The 20-yard race for boys under 8 was won by Clarence Page of Los Angeles. The 50-yard race for boys under 12 by Herbert Middleton of Orange, and the 50-yard race for boys of 14 by Grenville Whyte of Pomona.

Lang of Monrovia Laundry. Miss Ruby Mills, Colton of Hub City Laundry, was winner of the peanut race, the entrants being office employees of various plants. Humorous events included a bottle race for plant superintendents, won by V. M. Steinberger of Dannell's Laundry of Los Angeles. REAPPORTIONMENT Governor "Green and Congressman McLeod of Michigan," are leading movement to organize a blue composed of representatives from California, Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas and Washington to enforce constitutional reapportionment. Both parties ignored the question in their platforms. The plan is to fill butcher against all other measures until reapportionment is secured. The chief cause of lack of action on this matter seems to be lack of interest on the part of the public. A few congressmen more or less does not interest the people—in fact that body might be reduced by half without disturbing the peaceful influence of many of the electors of this nation.

The Girl's Biscuit Race was won by Edjth Spears of the Pacific Laundry flat work department. A Tug of War with ten men to a side was hotly contested by men from Los Angeles and Santa Ana districts, being won by the Santa Ana boys. The final event was a five-inning Indoor Baseball Game between a team made up of members from the Ontario, Monrovia, Pomona and Covina Improvement club members and Improvement club members of the San Diego District. Honors were carried off by the Pomona bunch to the tune of 12 to 2. Clowns, Bogus Policemen and a Kangaroo Court furnished interest for the crowd until the arrival of a five-piece orchestra, which played dance music in the pavilion until evening. Hundreds of couples availed themselves of the opportunity to improve in the graceful" art and the day ended pleasantly to the strains of "Home, Sweet Home," when the last number was played at 6 p.m. A party of Canadian youth out in the wilderness started an ukulele concert and attracted all the deer in the neighborhood.

The total in the state as a whole was 1,971,682 bearing and 183,000 ponbearing acreages devoted to the grow­ing of fruit and nuts, the report re­veals. Other acreages of fruit and nut trees in Orange county were estimated as follows: | Product | Bearing Non-Bear.

Mr. Bailey, in answer to this, has issued a supplementary report in which he states that his report covered only the period since the organiz­ation of the flood control district. In this report he says: I find that the $35,000 mentioned in the report is verified by the county auditor as round figures for the total charges on the books of his office against the district for the fiscal up to June 1st, 1928. The report treats only of the cost of operations since the organization of the flood control district as reflected on the books of the county auditor. The following items should be added to get the total cost of the flood control district since its inception: 1. Expenditures prior to the formation of the district during the fiscal year 1926-7 as follows: Prado Dam In­ "The survey shows a total value of all main field, fruit and vegetable crops of $174,840,000. This compares with a like estimate of the 1926 crops of $164,982,000. An estimated valuation of all crops in the various states gives California the rank of third place. In 1925, and also in 1926, California ranked second in the estimated valuation of all crops in the various states," the report says. "The average value per ton of the fruit crops harvested in 1927 was $4.21 greater than in 1926. The valuation of all crops is based on the average price to the grower prevailing on December 1 or on an average price during the harvest season, delivered at the home town market, shipping station or packing shed."

The general assembly of the International Astronomical congress has adopted a resolution abolishing the "a. m." and "p. m." known under the present term as Greenwich mean time, for a 1 to 24-hour clocking to be known as Greenwich mean astronomical time. Thus 1 p.m. throughout the world is to be known in the future as "13 o'clock," as is the present widespread custom on the continent of Europe of all cable, radio and telegraph companies. The politician who lasts is like the merchants who lasts. He gives the people what they want when they think they want it. SYNTHETIC LUMBER About a year ago the chemists announced that corn silk and corn stalks could be converted in to a fine grade of cloth. Now the American Chemical society announces that the corn plant affords the requisite material for making synthetic lumber. It is rich in cellulose which is the principal substance needed. Flooring made from corn has been used in schools and factories and it has all the advantages of wood sawed from a tree. It corn stalks will take the place of trees the problem regarding the exhaustion of forests no longer is open to speculation. The limit of production can be fixed only by the area capable of annual cultivation. With future generations smile at the primitive agriculture which concerned itself with nothing more than the production of food supply? The biggest race of the season is going to be the Brown Derby and it won't be decided until the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
