Read it in the Gazette ALL THE LOCAL AND COUNTY NEWS THE GAZETTE CALL SEVEN-TWO VOLUME LX 100,000 PEOPLE WILL ATTEND BIG OPENING THURSDAY Colorful Exhibits Portraying Rip Van Winkle Theme Win Hearty Applause Undercurrents of suppressed excitement, evident here during the past week, reached a climax Thursday as approximately 10,000 residents of Southern California and tourists to the Southland flocked through the portals of the tenth annual California Valencia Orange Show. The huge opening-day crowd indicates that a total of 100,000 or more people will see the gigantic orange show exhibits during the 11-day program, which closes on the evening of June 1. This estimate was given by George Undercurrents of suppressed excitement, evident here during the past week, reached a climax Thursday as approximately 10,000 residents of Southern California and tourists to the Southland flocked through the portals of the tenth annual California Valencia Orange Show. The huge opening-day crowd indicates that a total of 100,000 or more people will see the gigantic orange show exhibits during the 11-day program, which closes on the evening of June 1. This estimate was given by George Reid, manager of the show. Pushing through the admission gates, which were adorned with greenery, the thousands of visitors stepped into the giant tent where their first impression, a glitter of brilliant lights subdued by bright bunting, with Rip Van Winkle seen on every hand, was a lasting one. Its scope correctly portrayed the extent of the show. Elaborate Exhibits On closer inspection an elaborate array of community exhibits attracted the attention and admiration of every visitor. To the right and to the left the sight-seers poured, either way affording a detailed pictorial account of the immensity of the valencia industry, and the interest of all Southland communities in the cultivation of citrus fruits. On the east side of the tent the huge Mutual Orange Growers' exhibit, occupying the southeast corner, formed a colorful background for the more central Anaheim city exhibit which portrayed Madame Rip Van Winkle looking out over the horizon for her wondering husband. Right in front of the gate stood Rip himself (he is used as the theme of the show this year), atop the Catskill mountains, carrying a keg of wine, while the gnomes below were pouring him cupfuls of the sleep position. Oranges in the valley tied up this setting with the show. This is the City of Orange's contribution to the story. The M. O. D. portrayed a cross of pure gold, a butterfly, Rip's dog, a bird, a spider's web, and other pictures of the human Rip Van Winkle story. Occupying a similar position on the other entrance corner, the Sunkist exhibit portrayed Rip awakening from his 20-year slumber, and looking out on the morning sun with "Sunkist" cleverly woven into the picture. Many Features Other featured exhibits Avery San Diego county's Spreckeke's open air organ; Exeter's portrayal of Rip; American Fruit Grower's Blue Goose exhibit with pictures of a barrel, star, Rip, dog, gun, two Indian blanket designs, and iron cross woven with oranges; Anaheim high school's gnome bowling alley; National Orange Snow exhibit; Ventura county's Washington Monument; Los Angeles county's elaborate portraitural Rip looking amazed as he saw the growth of the Angel city; Santa Ana's picture of Rip discovering the county seat; Pomona's citrus exhibit; Fullerton's timely display and the De Honor of completing the first exhibit for the tenth running Thursday at Anaheim, goes to the students of Anaheim and Connie Lamont test out the alley on which they of Ripe Van Winkle, the decorative motif of the show. Romance of Peach Firm Wins Interpretation Growth in Anaheim of a pectin fruit oil and fruit juice manufacturing concern matches the romance and growth of the West itself. Out of the pioneering communities of Orange county grew the greatest Valencia orange district in the world. It is natural, then, that out of this gigantic industry should pioneer one of three pectin plants on this orbit, and a manufacturing plant that takes its place alongside the thriving industries of Southern California. This plant is the Mutual Citrus Products Co., Inc., located on the southeast corner of Atchison and Santa Ana streets, Anaheim. Incorporated in April 1928, and the plant completed and in operation by November of the same year, the Mutual Citrus Products on a modest scale began the manufacture of pectin to supply the demand for a growing market. Failure of another business to manufacture fruit juices and oils forced the local concern to expand and include these departments. From that moment on, the Mutual Citrus Products first reached out for local markets, then went to Southern California trade, and now is expanding to touch a still wider territory. From a plant with a few men employed the factory has grown to a steady staff of 14 employed men, doing $100,000 and upwards a year in gross business. Frozen Fruit Juices This week President H. T. Leo and Secretary-Treasurer watched the first frost leave their factory.

Jack Mattis Receives Commission in Navy; Is Assigned to Saratoga Jack Mattis, who received his commission as a naval ensign following a year's aviation study at Pensacola, Florida, this week was assigned to the U.S. airplane carrier Saratoga and returns with the ship through the Panama Canal within a month, to be based out of San Pedro. At first Mattis was assigned to Hampton Roads, Virginia, but immediately requested a transfer to a Pacific coast base in order to be near his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Mattis, 861 South Palm street, Anaheim. This request brought his assignment to the Saratoga, which was the first of two major air craft carriers completed by the United States government from hulls at first designed for fast cruisers. The giant carrier has a prow like a razor, cuts through the water at 35 knots an hour, and carries 187 aircraft and a complement of 1,500 men. She is considered the most modern war vessel in the world. The U. S. S. Lexington is a sister ship which, with the exception of maneuvers off Guan- facture fruit juices and oils forced the local concern to expand and include these departments. From that moment on, the Mutual Citrus Products first reached out for local markets, then went to Southern California trade, and now is expanding to touch a still wider territory. From a plant with a few men employed the factory has grown to a steady staff of 14 employed men, doing $100,000 and upwards a year in gross business. Frozen Fruit Juices This week President H. T. Leo and Redecorate Store On East Center Painters and carpenters this week were busy remodeling and redecorating the Takit-re Save store at 116 East Center street. Work on remodeling was started Monday morning and probably will be completed by the end of the week, Manager W. L. Jollivette announced Thursday. Receipt of Mattis' assignment to the Saratoga cheered local friends who are planning a welcome for him as soon as he arrives at his home port. Mattis has made a remarkable record in the navy. In a class at San Diego he was one of the four out of 167 who passed the tests successfully, and at San Polnt, Washington, was the one out of six to be chosen for training at Penacola. He received exactly the same aviation training as cadets at Annapolis, and his high marks rank him as one of the best young ensigns now with the navy.

Iris Nickleson the alley on which the gnomes bowled, as portrayed in the legendative motif of the show. of Pectin Girls Interest Secretary-Treasurer Clarence Taylor watched the first frozen fruit juices leave their factory. These juices, already contracted for by Los Angeles buyers, contain no preservative and are gaining in popularity as residents throughout the country become more familiar with the product—the thirty-first on the list of fruit by-products manufactured by the Anaheim firm. Other products—the chief one being pectin—manufactured here include: oil, juice and syrup from oranges, lemons and grapefruit. These are put up in varied combinations to meet the exacting taste discriminations catered to by the wholesale and retail trade of Southern California. But back of the plant itself: First the lemons (this is one of the chief sources of by-products) are poured into the washer, carried to tanks overhead where the juice is crushed out and the poolings sent to another department, where chemical reactions break down the acids, releasing the pectin so that it can be absorbed by specially denatured alcohol, which is non-poisonous. The alcohol-laden fluid coagulates with the pectin forming a pulp. The alcohol then is drained off and the pulp dried in sheets. The dried pectin, powdered and canned, is worth $2 a pound and more. About four pounds are obtained from a ton of lemons. Varied Products Pectin's commercial value consists in forming an uniformly-consistent and strong jelly for jellies and jams. Two ANAHEIM GIRLS IN LIMELIGHT Three Local Lassies Win Scholastic, Athletic Shooting Honors Anaheim's daughters came in for a large share of the glory that was distributed among the University of Southern California co-eds when the Women's Self-Government Association of that institution held its annual Mother-and-Daughter banquet Wednesday evening.

It was presented to Miss Fay by Dean Mary S. Crawford, who is at the head of all S. C. women. An announcement followed that Miss Fay had also been elected to Phi Kappa Phi national all-university honorary fraternity, which has the same requirements for membership that Phi Beta Kappa has, except the latter organization limits its membership to students in colleges of liberal arts. Miss Fay is also known at the university as a member of the Amazons, the school's activity honorary group for women.

This problem in marketing offered many possibilities with a potential service to be performed to California growers and the consumers of the Far East. Early in September of last year, B. H. Crocheron, Director of Agricultural Extension, of the University of California, accompanied by N. J. Norton, set out to find out what the facts of the situation were. In order that their work might be facilitated in different countries visited. Government courtesies were extended to investigators. This enabled them to contact foreign officials and gain access to Government statistics and commercial houses so necessary in getting at the basic facts in a study of this kind. In the course of the investigation, markets in Japan, Korea, China, Philippine Islands, Slam, French Indo-China, British Malay, Netherlands-East Indies, Burma, India and Cylon were studied. In all eight months time was taken in completing the investigation, as the principal cities were visited in each of the countries. On their return, a request was made of them to speak to the folks of Orange County, thus giving a first-hand report of their findings. Such a meeting has been arranged for 8 p.m., Tuesday May 27, at the Anaheim Union High School. Motion pictures were taken enroute and the first part of the program will be showing of these films, which portray native customs and life in the different countries. Since this well be the only meeting at which Professor Crocheron will speak in Orange County, it is anticipated that a large group of bankers, packing house managers and directors, together with Farm Bureau members will be present.

Fullerton also must bow to Newport Beach as the Orange county city showing the largest percentage of gain during the ten years intervening between the former and last count of noses by the government.

Echoes of Pioneer Days Heard As Resident Recalls Murder Echoes of pioneer days were heard in Anaheim this week. Stories of Indian atrocities, of lying in wait for their "Pale Face" prey, of hardships endured by hardy folk whose confidence in the future of Orange county has resulted, in the period of half a century and less, of comfort and wealth, were lent a tone of realism and a closeness Monday when A. Pierroti arrived from Placentia with memories stirred by an article published in the "Fifty Years Ago This Week" column featured in the Anaheim Gazette. Mr. Pierrotti, a wealthy pioneer living in Placentia and a reader of the Gazette for half a century, was visibly touched by the memories of a friend with whom he had chatted one day, and the next learned had been murdered. "I had been working on the old ditch for the Anaheim Water company with a friend by the name of Cholo Castillo. The next day Cholo began work for the El Toro rancho, chopping wood. An Indian appeared at the ranch, insisted on work chopping wood, and when the foreman told the Indian that he had hired Castillo, the Red Man waited for a while, then picked up an ax and split Castillo's head open. Arrested, the Indian gave the name of Emanuel, and asked why he had slain the white man, replied: 'Quien Sabe?'" No record of disposal of Emanuel's case was available this week, but ordinary course of the law is believed to have followed, resulting in the Indian paying the death penalty. This incident brings to light a story of how pluck, hard work, common sense and the development of Orange county into a world center for valencia oranges brought Mr. Pierroti from a salaried man earning 90 cents a day, to the owner of a large orange grove, independently wealthy and the father of three children, all graduates of the University of Southern California. Mr. Pierroti arrived in this district over half a century ago. At the time of Castillo's murder, he was a laborer on the old Anaheim ditch. Through hard work and persistence, he became foreman, then superintendent, and a member of the board of directors. Nominated for the presidency of the firm, he was defeated four to three, following a political manipulation of votes. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pierroti are well known Orange county pioneers.
