This is the second annual nationwide hook-up of this nature, and for the second time an Orange county boy has been selected by the University of California to represent this state. The program will start at Washington, then be switched to San Francisco, where a representative of Northern California's 4-H club work will broadcast, after which Gilbert May will speak from Los Angeles on his experiences as a 4-H club member; and the program will then be concluded from Washington. The program can best be heard in Orange county from station KFI in Los Angeles. The time is 9:30 to 10:30 A.M. on Saturday, November 7. NEWCOMERS IN ANAHEIM The permanent population was swelled by eleven new residents who came to Anaheim to live in the last ten days. A registration of the new residents is compiled by the Chamber of Commerce. Orange County Soil Yields $51,581,275 Agricultural Commissioner Issues County Crop Figures for 1930 Prosperity has come from behind the corner where it has been hiding in Orange county, according to the annual report of A. A. Brock, county agricultural commissioner, who says that the soil of this county yielded products in 1930 that were worth $51,581,275. Oranges Return $35,704,800. Valencin oranges led off in this massive wealth by yielding a gross return of $35,704,800.20. Lemons were worth $4,176,679.84, making the total return on orchards $41,636,228.71. The walnut crops of the county were worth $1,724,216, says the report. Avocados Stepping Up The youthful avocado industry made a substantial showing, too, the trees in this county putting out fruit estimated at $100,915.83. The avocado acreage increased from 324 to 370 in bearing trees and from 423 to 469 non-bearing. The county continues to grow as an orange producer, the report says, the orchard acreage increasing from 43,069 to 44,449. Walnut Acreage Drops Many walnut groves have been removed and in 1930 the acreage dropped from 5669 to 5324 of budded and from 5988 to 5698 of seedling stock. The year was an especially active one in fighting pests of various kinds. The report says that hundreds of thousands of trees and seed bed stock were inspected under plant quarantine regulations; more than 200,000 plants were given vacuum fumigation; 423 nursery inspections were made; about 117,000 acres of orchard were inspected; more than 13,000 acres of field crops were inspected; 130,727 citrus and 31,272 walnut trees were sprayed. Edison Employes on 5-Day Week New Schedule Will Save Jobs of Many Workers, It is Announced All departments of the Southern California Edison Company, are now on a five-day week schedule with corresponding pay adjustments, according to a statement made by John B. Miller, chairman of the board, in a letter sent out to holders of the preferred stock of the company. Reasons for New Schedule. The completion of several of the larger construction projects of the company and the general slowing down of business were given by Mr. Miller as reasons for adoption of the new schedule. The letter to the stockholders is quoted in part: "Effective September first, all departments of Southern California Edison Company, were placed on a five-day week schedule with corresponding pay adjustments. The plan was first introduced in some departments in May, was extended to include several more groups in August and thirty days later was made operative throughout the organization. All officers and department heads have received similar adjustments in compensation." Spread Out Available Work "This readjustment was made in order to spread out the available work over a larger number of employees and thus provide work for some 500 employees who might otherwise have been released. To discharge a large number of our employees at a time when it is extremely difficult for anyone, even a highly skilled specialist, to obtain a new position, was of course highly undesirable." For this reason, we adopted the five day week in place of five and one-half days, thus giving less work to each employee. Orange Growers on Two Days Tour Two days have been set aside by the staff at the Citrus Experiment Station to give Orange county growers the latest reports of progress on investigational projects underway, according to Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor who is negotiating for two tours to the institution. Thursday, October 22, for growers north of the Santa Ana River and Friday, October 23 for those south of the river have been reserved for the Orange county tours. Owing to unwieldy crowds in the past, two groups will go to the Experiment Station this year on separate days so that the smaller groups may be more easily conducted to the various laboratories and field tests by members of the Experiment Station staff. Several projects and investigating will be disclosed to the Orange county groups, including scaly bark control oil sprays, fertilizer tests, mottle leaf control and other timely orchard management problems. All growers are invited to join their caravans that will form as follows: October 22, assemble cars at San Fe depot, Placentia. Leave prompt at 8:30 a.m. October 23, assemble cars at Olive Leave prompt at 8:30 a.m. In each case the tour will be headed by the farm advisor's car. Those who have no transportation facilities must be assured of transportation by reporting at either of the above named places before the time of departure. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon A Lesson-Sermon on "Doctrine Atonement" will be presented on Sunday in all branches of The Moth Church. The First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural passages includes the prayer of the Psalmist: "Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness; according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies." Many walnut groves have been removed and in 1930 the acreage dropped from 5669 to 5324 of budded and from 5988 to 5698 of seedling stock. The year was an especially active one in fighting pests of various kinds. The report says that hundreds of thousands of trees and seed bed stock were inspected under plant quarantine regulations; more than 200,000 plants were given vacuum fumigation; 423 nursery inspections were made; about 117,000 acres of orchard were inspected; more than 13,000 acres of field crops were inspected; 130,727 citrus and 31,272 walnut trees were sprayed, and 255,553 acres were examined in the work of rodent control. Pest Control Successful The county insectary operating costs were reduced during the year. Termite and aphid activities also were reviewed. The report states that pest control was uniformly successful and that conditions in the county are regarded as comparatively satisfactory. Total costs of operating the county's agricultural department for the year were $84,433.61, according to the report submitted to the board of supervisors. The Valencia Acreage While the Valencia acreage showed an increase over the preceding year, that was due entirely to the increase in bearing groves. Non-bearing groves showed a slight decrease from 10,655 to 10,341 acres. Non-bearing walnuts show a decrease of nearly 50 percent, the 1920 figures showing 113 acres against 210 in the preceding year. Lemons and avocados were the only fruit crops to show an increase in no-bearing acreage, the former showing 990 acres in 1930 compared to 968 acres in 1929. Berry Acreage Doubled Bearing acreage of berries revealed an increase from 115½ acres in 1929, to 361 acres in 1930. Grape bearing acreage increased from 193 to 203 acres; peaches from 54½ to 65 acres; persimmons from 326 to 325 acres; plums, pecans and olives disclosed no changes. Pears jumped from 68 to 85 acres; loquats dropped from 108 to 105 acres. Yields in Field Crop Field crops produced $4,186,030.05 last year, of which beans accounted for $2,955,613.65, or more than half the total. The county had 37,848 acres planted to beans last year. Orange county dairies produced $1,126,450; poultry, $245,500; cattle, $195,000; swine, $47,825; rabbits, $15,000; and sheep, $7500. Honey bees produced 449 tons of honey and 23 tons of wax which brought $1,019,534.43. Hay and Truck Crops The county's hay crop produced $658,300, with 59,704 tons raised on 54,317 acres of which bean straw accounted for 30,514 with a crop of Spread Out Available Work "This readjustment was made in order to spread out the available work over a larger number of employees and thus provide work for some 500 employees who might otherwise have been released. To discharge a large number of our employees at a time when it is extremely difficult for anyone, even a high-rated specialist, to obtain a new position, was of course highly undesirable. For this reason, we adopted the five day week in place of five and one-half days, thus giving less work to each employee but enabling more to remain on the payroll. The basis of pay has not been changed but the employee's earnings are reduced by approximately nine percent in proportion to the shorter work per week. Construction Work Completed "The decrease in available work has been due in part to the general slowing down of businesses but principally because of the finishing of large construction projects. The principal of these construction works were the Big creek hydro development, the Long Beach steam plant and the Vincent transmission line." "Service has not been handicapped in any way by the change as the work is staggered so that all departments having contact with the public are as well manned as they were under the former plan." Lower Price Levels "Lower price levels have greatly increased the purchasing power of the dollar for current necessities, so that the reduced income has caused in general no undue hardship. Special consideration has been given to those cases where actual hardship might result from the adjustment." "The Edison company was the first public utility on the coast to adopt the five-day week but other companies have since taken to the idea and are using it with apparently satisfactory results. It is but another example of the recognition by industry in general of the human problems of its workers." Effect on Year's Results "While the company has made large reductions in rates, there have also been made numerous economies; increased domestic consumption is balanced against lowered industrial activity; continuing increased efficiency in system operation operation—these are some of the items that will have their effect on the year's results, which everything considered, we think will be found to be gratifying." We used to laugh at those detective yarns in which the super-sleuth could disguise himself so that his best friend wouldn't know him; but now that we have noted what funny things these New England hats do to the appearance of some of our girl friends we are willing to believe most anything." Orange county dairies produced $1,126,450; poultry, $245,500; cattle, $195,000; swine, $47,825; rabbits, $15,000; and sheep, $7500. Honey bees produced 449 tons of honey and 23 tons of wax which brought $1,019,534.43. Hay and Truck Crops The county's hay crop produced $658,300, with 59,704 tons raised on 54,317 acres of which bean straw accounted for 30,514 with a crop of 18,475, valued at $159,927. On-3408 acres the county raised 9433 tons of peppers returning $400,408.50. Total truck crops returned $1,019,534.43. Gen.

Superior Radio in New Sales Record Only Four Sets are Returned Out of Two Score Demonstrations With only four returns of machines out of two or more score of demonstrations is the sales record hung up by the Superior Radio Service of Anaheim with the new Crosley superhetrodyne radios, according to announcement of Manager Paul Davidson Wednesday. Record Made Since Sept. 8 Since about September 8, when the new Crosley radios were received, the remarkable record of sales has been achieved." With no other set, and at no other time in the history of radio business in Anaheim since we have been in it, have we achieved anything like the success we have with the present set," said Davidson "when everybody seems to be hollering 'hard times', we find that the Crosley radio is selling better than at any other period in the years we have been handling it. Didn't Need Demonstration "It demonstrates itself. Several people after hearing the set in the home of friends, have come into the store and paid cash for a new set, saying that they didn't need a demonstration because they had heard so-and-so's and knew what it would do." Knights of Pythias Hold Convention The monthly district convention of Knights of Pythias lodges was held in Anaheim, Monday night, with 75 knights in attendance. District Deputy Grand Chancellor Ritter of Santa Ana presided and a number of addresses on the work of the order were made by visiting knights, Harry Thayer of San Bernardino made it known that he is a candidate for grand keeper of records and seals at the state convention, to be held next June. The Anaheim lodge will hold a series of dances during coming months, the first on October 24, to which the public will be invited. The dance committee includes Emil Bowman, John Eden and C. W. Robinson. A device has been perfected which enables a phonograph record to run for a half hour without stopping. We hope the people in the next apartment don't hear about this.

THE brand new Plymouth, piloted by Gus Duray, covered the equivalent of 2 years' travel in 31 days. The motor was never stopped in 744 continuous hours. The motor was never given a chance to cool off. The crankcase was never drained. Fresh Gilmore Lion Head Motor Oil was added, a quart at a time, to keep the proper level. Only 15 quarts were consumed. Total oil expense, $5.25. The oil remaining in the crankcase was still light in color and good for thousands more miles, according to chemists who tested it. Lion Head Motor Oil did not break down. GARFIELD-STOREY MOTOR CO. DISTRIBUTORS OF CHRISTIAN MOTOR CAR GARFIELD-STOREY MOTOR CO. DISTRIBUTORS OF CHRYSLER MOTOR CARS August 28, 1921 At 10 o'clock this morning Salisbury Avenue, the motor driver and repairman had arrived in a plymouth automobile which began at 6:45 a.m. July 30th. The plymouth motor was valued at $2,000. The motor was then sold to the dealer for $15,000. The dealer then sold it to the manufacturer for $15,000. The manufacturer then sold it to the dealer for $15,000. The dealer then sold it to the manufacturer for $15,000. The dealer then sold it to the manufacturer for $15,000. The dealer then sold it to the manufacturer for $15,000. We used exclusively on the Lion Head Motor Oil until we were tested by chemists who tested it. Lion Head Motor Oil did not break down. How's that for a test? How's that for cutting oil costs? How's that for proof of positive lubrication? What other motor oil could stand such a test? We don't recommend your driving like this, but it does prove that you can drive farther with assurance of efficient lubrication when you use Gilmore Lion Head Motor Oil...the most highly filtered motor oil in America.
