Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 20, 1930 BEN FRANKLIN'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY WRITTEN WITH GOOSE QUILL BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BEFORE GREAT BRITAIN'S PRINY COUNCIL PLEADING FOR A GOODWILL SEPARATION OF THE AMERICAN COLONIES FROM THE MOTHER COUNTRY A Precious Book In Huntington Collection Ben Franklin Began Writing His Life Story Five Years Before War of Independence IT IS QUAINT AND CURIOUS One Ink-Spotted Page Is Now Legible If the Huntington Library, with its "collection of collections" of rare and venerable books manuscripts, should catch fire, what single volume would Dr. Max Farrand be most likely to attempt to save? Not the Gutenberg Bible, not the $50,000 Hamlet, not even the letters of Columbus, or Pizarro, or Washington, or Lincoln, or Grant, for the book of books is Benjamin Franklin's goose quill autobiography. This quiet and curious story of Franklin's own life and times, filled with philosophies, eighteenth century science, speculation, history and gossip, was started five years before the beginning of the Revolution and finished five years after the adoption of the United States Constitution, covering the most critical period in the history of this country. It tells the story of the birth and death of Franklin by manuscript by Franklin seriously injured by an overturned bottle of ink, and modern photography by Modern Photography. In time he available for general use. As soon as Directer Farrand finds time, he hopes to have this rarest of all Americana published in a form which people can afford to buy for their personal libraries. Before the Revolution flamed out, Franklin went to Europe as a representative of the independence movement, and finally succeeded in obtaining a hearing before Privy Council of Great Britain. No other American could have obtained such a hearing. The mother country was in a step-motherly mood, because the colonists had done an unforgivable thing—find overturned tea—and Franklin was not only making excuses for them; he was actually asking the motherland to recognize the offending colonies as an independent nation. Of course the great Privy Council could not receive Franklin as an American minister, but it could receive the man himself, for he was then at the height of his glory, the most celebrated personage on earth, having recently caught the lightning on his kite and brought it down into a bottle. He had literally manipulated thunderbolts, and the members of the Council wanted to see this wizard and hear what he might say, even though his proposition came close to treason, possibly because they suspected that this treasonable proposition might also be charged with lightning. There were no vacant chairs in England's most historic hall that day. "Lords and gentlemen," Franklin is said to have begun. "It may be presumptuous for me to ask you to give the colonies a place among the proud nations of the earth." For as yet these colonies in the company of one of the biggest uproar season. Friday's tilt is the annual homecoming game and Spartan like nothing better than Conference victory before ed grads. Avocado Growers Meet at Law The second quarterly meeting California Avocado Association held at the Masonic Hall on Saturday, November 23, F. D. Halm, chairman of the department of the Orange County Bureau. The morning session, cooled 11 o'clock, will be in the new open directors' meeting. All interested in the industry or avocado association will come to attend this open meeting. Starting at 1:30 P.M., planned by the Avocado Society Orange County Farm Bureau held. A generous time will be given to questions and answers, an good opportunity for less growers to take advantage of entic advice given by horticultural experts thoroughly conversing problems of the avocado industry. Another high light of the meeting will be a talk by H. Berg, Orange county farm ad has just returned from a trip to the avocado producing section rope. He will talk on "A Foreign Lands." This is the second of the meetings to be held in different Bible, not the $50,000 Hamlet, not even the letters of Columbus, or Pizarro, or Washington, or Lincoln, or Grant, for the book of books is Benjamin Franklin's goose quill autobiography. This quaint and curious story of Franklin's own life and times, filled with philosophies, eighteenth century science, speculation, history and gossip, was started five years before the beginning of the Revolution and finished five years after the adoption of the United States Constitution, covering the most critical period in the history of this country. It tells the story of the birth and babyhood of a new nation about as a wise old grandmother would tell about the midwifely ways in which she helped bring some great hero into the world. Franklin intended it as a private chronicle for his son, Governor William Franklin, of Pennsylvania, and expressed himself very freely regarding the "fathers of the country". He wrote down in it the kind of data people put in diaries. Despite the lapse of 150 years—rough and tumble years through which the newborn nation became one of the world's great powers—this informal autobiography found its way into the Huntington treasure house with just one big blot on it. Upon one page, someone long ago spilled a bottle of ink—probably Franklin himself. The ink dried into the paper, obliterated the writing and broke the run of the story. This page might as well have been torn out; it was illegible. Save for that one page, the whole heavy volume was clean and letter perfect. Was it possible to restore that page? Down in the basement of the Huntington Library, Dr. Lodewyk Bendikson is doing to blotched books what beauty doctors do to pockmarked faces. Upon this blotched page he focused light from which certain rays had been screened out, and obtained a clean photograph of the buried writing. Probably the most interesting entry in the autobiography is the time table by which Franklin regulated his daily life. As will be seen from the reproduced schedule of hours, he rose at 5:00, started work at 8:00, took two hours in the middle of the day "to read, overlook my accounts and dine," worked from 2:00 to 6:00, then "put things in the places, supper, musick, or diversion, or conversation—Examination of the day," and allowed himself seven hours for sleep. A facsimile of the autobiography will He had literally manipulated thunderbolts, and the members of the Council wanted to see this wizard and hear what he might say, even though his proposition came close to treason, possibly because they suspected that this treasurable proposition might also be charged with lightning. There were no vacant chairs in England's most historic hall that day. "Lords' and gentlemen." Franklin is said to have begun, "It may be presumptuous for me to ask you to give the colonies a place among the proud nations of the earth. For as yet these colonies, in the company of the great powers, may seem only as cocks in the snails of noble steeds. On behalf of theocks, I am proposing to you that if you will not trample upon us, we shall not trample upon you." The Huntington Library at San Marino is said to contain the greatest collection of Kranklin literature in the world. Oregon State Meets U.C. Friday Night On the strength of their season's showing, Oregon State will rate as heavy pre-game favorites when they clash with the U.C. L. A. grid team at the Coliseum Friday night, in the first football meeting of the two schools. The Beavers took Oregon into camp Saturday to the tune of 15 to 0, just a week following the Bruins 7 to 0 defeat at the hands of Doc Spears' squad. This was the Beavers' first Conference win of the year and reports trickling down from the North carry the word that they are coming southward with every confidence in their ability to make it two straight. Out at Westwood, Bill Spaulding's athletes are making ready for this invasion with intensive drills on offense tactics. Fairly well satisfied with their defensive powers as shown by their stand against Oregon, Stanford and St Mary's, the Bruins will go on the turf Friday night prepared to launch a well-rounded and powerful offense which should provide plenty of spectacular football for the fans. At this stage of the schedule last year, the Bruins had 184 points scored against them. This year, the total has been paired to 100 points, 52 of which were scored in the opening game against U.S.C. If Spaulding can bring his offense up to the demonstrated ability of his defense, U.C. L. A. may de- ANAHEIM GAZETTE Time to Prepare For Orchard Heating Experience over a number of years in several areas of Orange county has shown that orchard heating is an economic factor in citrus production. The increasing area provided with heaters gives evidence of the need and value of such protection. Although the occurrence of low temperature is not so extreme in this county as in some other citrus producing districts, there is a special need for orchard protection in a few areas that are subject to minimum temperatures. Installation of heaters and provision for rain storage should be completed in early December, according to recommendations from Harold E. Wahlberg farm advisor, so as to be in readiness for any killing temperatures that may occur during the winter season. The first injurious frosts sometimes occur before Christmas. In order to provide cover with the best information available on orchard heating, a bulletin has been prepared by the College of Agriculture and the Fruit Frost Service, giving all details of heater management. It is available at the farm advisor's office in Santa Ana. In order to assist the growers in handling their frost protection work, U.S. Weather Bureau Fruit-Frost Service has been making nightly forecasts of the minimum temperature for about fifty different points throughout the winter frost season. These low temperature estimates have been broadcast nightly over radio Station KH3 during the past several years. During the present season a change in plans has been made, and the forecasts will be broadcast directly from the Weather Bureau Office at Pomona by remote control through radio station KNX, in Hollywood. This plan has been made possible through the cooperation of the California Citrus League and the owners of KNX. The broadcast over KNX will be promptly at 8 P.M., every night during the period from November 15 to February 15.
