For Buyers and Sellers GAZETTE WANT ADS GET RESULTS THE GAZETTE CALL TWO-FOUR-ONE-FOUR VOLUME LXII Air of Mystery In Turkey Prices Packers and Retailers Say Don't Know What Thanksgiving Birds Will Cost TURKEYS ARE PLENTIFUL Prices Wont Be Fixed Until Next Week There is today an air of uncertainty combined with mystery about the Orange county turkey market for Thanksgiving. Packers and retailers are non-committal as to what the price will be to get a dressed turkey into a home refrigerator, ready for the oyster or sage dressing. Packers and dealers are non-committal because at present they do not know what the price will be to consumers, and say that they will not know until about three days before the day for giving thanks, which is Thursday of next week. Outside, Looking In But to an inquiring newspaper reporter, on the outside trying to look into prices, one packer said that the turkey supply on the farms of Orange county is about 20 percent larger than this time last year. This ought to indicate that turkeys will be available to Red Cross Drive Moving Slowly Since a house-to-house canvass is not being made, the public is lagging in responding to the Red Cross roll call, is the report at headquarters, at the H.W. White hardware store. The effort is being made to obtain 1000 members for the local chapter, and a campaign of ten days was thought to be sufficient to obtain that number. Since the public is not responding as promptly as expected, the time limit of the campaign will be extended. Chairman White says that the drive for members is moving slower than any other ever conducted by the Anaheim Red Cross. Citrus Crop Brings In $99,500,000 Total California Shipments Reach 83,000 Cars, Says Exchange Report Faced with a citrus crop so large that it would have meant disaster a few years ago, California citrus growers made a remarkable record by obtaining 99,500,000 for one of the biggest crops in the history of the industry, according to the annual report of Paul S.

This ought to indicate that turkeys will be available to all who have an appetite for them and the money with which to buy, and the price ought to be somewhere near the mark of a year ago, and maybe a trifle less. One retailer guessed that No. 1 turkeys would sell at 40 cents a pound. "There just isn't any turkey news at present," said the packer. But there are other barometers which may indicate to a housewife what she is going to pay for her Thanksgiving turkey. What Turkey Market Shows Looking into the market pages of the daily newspapers, young tom turkeys (another name for gobblers) are quoted at 25 cents—a pound—dressed—if weighing 13 pounds or over. Small toms, under 13 pounds, also dressed, quoted at 30 cents a pound. Live turkey hens, 8 pounds and over, are quoted at 23 cents a pound. Small hens, under 8 pounds, alive are sold to dealers at 16 cents a pound. Dressed turkey hens, 8 pounds and over, command 28 cents a pound. All these prices are what the retail dealers have to pay when they buy in the wholesale market. May Be 37 or 38 Cents All of which, with trade terms removed from the market quotations, and with turkeys dressed ready for the home oven, means that a woman may get the chief item for her Thanksgiving dinner at not far from 37 to 40 cents a pound, close to last year's figure. Turkey flocks on some of the larger poultry farms of Orange county are a picturesque eight these pre-Thanksgiving days. On one farm of perhaps five acres between Chino and Pomona, there is one flock of beautiful bronze birds which may number 7000. On another farm on the Southwestern edge of Santa Ana there are 700 birds in the bronze flock, 100 of them strutting gobblers. Horace Mann School Dedication Friday The new Horace Mann school building will be dedicated with ceremonies at the school auditorium this Friday evening, beginning at 7:30. The program will include songs by the school glee club, invocation by the Rev. Ralph W. Lee, introduction by Superintendent Gauer, and talks by F. N. Gibbs, president of the grammar school board; Mayor Miller and George Reid.

Exchange Report Faced with a citrus crop so large that it would have meant disaster a few years ago., California citrus growers made a remarkable record by obtaining $99,500,000 for one of the biggest crops in the history of the industry, according to the annual report of Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Over 167,000 Carloads The report pointed out that the combined supply of citrus fruits from all sources was approximately 48 percent greater than last year and 6 percent in excess of the previous maximum supplies of 1928-29. Over 167,000 cars of citrus fruits were consumed by the American public during the 1930-31 season, compared with 113,000 cars in 1929-30 and 158,000 in 1928-29. Total shipments of oranges, lemons and grapefruit from California exceeded $83,000 cars; the report disclosed. Of this total, $64,625 cars were oranges; $16,750 were lemons and $2115 were grapefruit. Exchange Shipped 63,700 Cars Shipments through the Exchange aggregated $63,750 cars of oranges, lemons and grapefruit; and were over 76 percent of the total movement from the state. The 12,700 members of the exchange received $77,327,358 during the season for their crops. The delivered value to the wholesale trade was $111,-921，202. "Intensive advertising and merchandising efforts to move the large California crop were made by the Sunkist organization during the past season," stated Mr. Armstrong. "The 1930-31 Sunkist advertising played an important part in moving the crop into consumption without a decided loss to growers. This year's advertising appropriation was the largest in history of this organization which has invested over $15,000,000 in advertising during the past 24 years." $45,000,000 Paid Railroads Based upon returns to California Fruit Growers Exchange members,the delivered value in the markets ofthe entire California citrus crop totaled $145(261，059ofwhichover $45，000，000was paidtotherailroadfortransportationandrefrigiation.

CEMENT RATES ATTACKED The California Portland Cement Co. has filed a complaint with the Railroad Commission against the freight rates on cement shipments made by Southern Pacific and Pacific Electric between Monolith, Kern county, and Anaheim, Santa Ana, West Orange, Orange and Fullerton in Orange county. The complaint charges that the rate of $81-2 cents per 100 pounds on these shipments were put into effect on less than 30 days notice, and are prejudicial to the complainant. While these rates, the complaint states, are in purported compliance with a recent decision of the Railroad Commission, it is alleged that the decision in the case in point did not authorize or direct the publication of these rates. FARM CENTER ELECTION The Garden Grove Farm Center has elected the following officers for the coming year: Ralph Chaffee, re-elected president; Paul Andres, vice-president; A. D. Sandoval, secretary; and Louis Bushard, director to the County Farm Bureau board.

AHEIM GAZETE Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 19, 1931 Hang These On Your Community Christmas Trees Big Gas Line is 213 Miles Long Can Carry 130,000,000 Cubic Feet Daily to Southland Homes and Industries Police Car Wins a Race Against Stork Thero was a merry race against the stork which brings babies to people's houses, early last Thursday morning, when the police auto from Fullerton joined in the infant marathon. Just before the race began, the Fullerton police telephoned the Anaheim guardians of the peace that they had. The man was making some fast miles as he sped on the way to the hospital, and the Fullerton police thought he might burn up his car in his anxiety to get to the hospital. Instead of arresting him, the Fullerton officers transferred the couple to the police car and like a streak of lightning fled to Big Gas Line is 213 Miles Long Can Carry 130,000,000 Cubic Feet Daily to Southland Homes and Industries Southern California's largest high-pressure natural gas pipe line, extending 213 miles from Kettleman Hills to Long Beach has been completed on scheduled time, Alexander B. Macbeth, president of the Southern Fuel Company has announced. The 26 inch carrer was built in seven months at a cost of approximately $6,500,000. 600 Men Employed Construction of the line was started in April and approximately 600 men were employed by the Southern Fuel Co. and the contractors who handled various parts of the project. The Southern Fuel Co. which is owned jointly by Southern California Gas Co. and Southern California Edison Co. interests, is now able to transport approximately 130,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily through this new line and this capacity can be increased to approximately 200,000,000 by the installation of compressor plants along the line, Mr. Macbeth said. This supply will be utilized to supplement the supplies now being furnished the homes and factories of Southern California. Edison Is Big Consumer Major requirements of the Edison company’s steam electric generating station at Long Beach will be met by this new supply. The amount of gas available through the new line is approximately one-third of the amount now handled in the metropolitan area. As the world's largest gas consumer, the Edison company uses approximately 90,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily, in the generation of electric energy by steam power in the three plants of its Long Beach station on Terminal Island. Jobless Women Raise Voices Unemployed women, especially women who are the heads of families, or who have husbands out of work, are raising their voices against prevailing conditions, and say that some organization should look into affairs with a view to helping the women who are in need. They say that various civic organizations are active in movements to help idle men find jobs but none of them seem to be doing anything to help a dis- Police Car Wins a Race Against Stork There was a merry race against the etork which brings babies to people's houses, early last Thursday morning, when the police auto from Fullerton joined in the infant marathon. Just before the race began, the Fullerton police telephoned the Anaheim guardians of the peace that they had chased an auto all the way to Anaheim, and when they overtook the car they found it contained a man who was rushing his wife to St. Joseph hospital, as a baby' was about to come into the world. The man was making some fast miles as he sped on the way to the hospital, and the Fullerton police thought he might burn up his car in his anxiety to get to the hospital. Instead of arresting him, the Fullerton officers transferred the couple to the police car and like a streak of lightning fled to the hospital, arriving there ahead of the story. "It's a boy—and all O. K," was the record made on the police blotter. A check made next day showed that a boy had been born at the hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Brown of Ocean Park. School Board Has Problem on Hands The Santa Ana school board has a problem before it which the best teacher of mathematics, the best lawyers, and the best authorities along other lines, have up to the present been unable to solve. The board desires to take over a piece of property which will enable it to enlarge the Lowell school grounds. But the property in question is the home of a man 91 years old, and he refuses to sell at a condemnation price of $3500. He wants $5000. In court proceedings the price of $3500 was the condemnation price fixed. The school board offered $4,000, but under the court ruling cannot pay over $3,500. But the 91-year-old belligerent holds on. An offer was made by the school board to move the house, contents and owner to a similar lot on the same street and build a garage for him. But the owner still holds out. The only way remaining for the board to get possession of the property is to have the sheriff eject the old man. But no member of the school board wants to be a party to the ejection plan. So there the school board is with the problem on its hands, and there is the old man still holding out for $5,000, which the board cannot pay. REDLAND ORANGE OUTPUT Redlands Foothill Groves Packing Association will return 92.3 cents per field box for all navel oranges shipped during the season. Manager Clarence E. Perry told 200 growers at the annual meeting. This means a return of almost $500,000. The association packed fruit from 1703 acres, and shipped 617 cars. No Aqueduct Jobs Until Next May Many unemployed Anaheim men who seek jobs on the Metropolitan aqueduct have already filed their applications with Claude Hall, representing the Metropolitan district, at the local City Hall, where they have been told that they cannot expect work on the aqueduct before May. next year. It is said that about 50 Anaheim men will be employed on the project, according to O. E. Steward, Anaheim's representative on the Metropolitan board. The registration of Anaheim's applicants will be continued on every other Friday. Among the requirements are that an applicant must be a citizen of the United States and must be a resident of the district in which application is made for at least a year and must be a registered voter. These requirements shut out the "floating" unemployed, of which there are now large numbers throughout the Southland. Gonzales to Conduct Spanish Orchestra Aaron Gonzalez, son of A. R. Gonzales of 210 North Claudine street, Anaheim, passed through this city Wednesday morning en-route to Ensenada, Baja California, where he will conduct an orchestra, under a three-year contract signed recently at Los Angeles after a trial of 50 orchestra directors. Mr. Gonzalez's orchestra is composed entirely of Spanish and Mexican youths who have achieved musical distinction in Southern California. He was graduated from the University of Southern California College of Music last June, and since then has been employed in various musical capacities in Los Angeles. The young orchestra leader also is a composer, having written several popular Spanish numbers. He arranges all music for his orchestra. Jobless Women Raise Voices Unemployed women, especially women who are the heads of families, or who have husbands out of work, are raising their voices against prevailing conditions, and say that some organization should look into affairs with a view to helping the women who are in need. They say that various civic organizations are active in movements to help idle men find jobs but none of them seem to be doing anything to help a distressed woman find employment. "There are too many women who are holding jobs in Anaheim whose husbands are also employed, who could give up their places that some needy mother could find a job so she can provide food, clothing and pay house rent for her family," said an unemployed woman. "There are married women in some Anaheim stores whose husbands are employed elsewhere, but some of the merchants will not release these employees because they are experienced, while a woman seeking work might not be so experienced. "There are fatherless families in Anaheim who are going hungry because the distracted mothers can find nothing to do. Orange county boasts that it is the richest county in the United States, yet there is hunger and distress in many families because the women cannot find anything to do to earn a livelihood. While the men are hunting for jobs for idle men, they ought also to help find employment for the needy women." Legion Auxiliary Plans for Christmas The Auxiliary of the Anaheim Legion post met at the post club rooms Tuesday evening to plan for a Christmas party. Sewing circles are being formed to make bed jackets, covers for hot water bottles, pajamas and other comforts for veterans who are confined in San Fernando hospital. Staple foods and clothing for other needy are to be distributed by the society during the Christmas season. Redlands Foothill Groves Packing Association will return 92.3 cents per field box for all navel oranges shipped during the season. Manager Clarence E. Perry told 200 growers at the annual meeting. This means a return of almost $500,000. The association packed fruit from 1703 acres, and shipped 617 cars. Action! You've got a job which requires the handling of a man especially trained for the task. You know what kind of a man you want—but you do not know the man. There are skilled and unskilled workmen advertising to you in the Anaheim Gazette. Read classified and profit. County Orchestra Being Organized An orchestra made up of the musicians of the high school of Orange county is being organized, under the leadership of Samuel J. Mustol, director of instrumental music in Santa Ana city schools. The orchestra will have a membership of about 200 boys and girls, and in addition is to include the boys' and girls' glee clubs. The movement to bring these musical forces together into one great organization was inaugurated by the Orange County Music Teachers' association. The first concert by the combined musical talent is to be given at the Fullerton High school next April. ZETTE Is Now In Its 62d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 109 NORTH EMILY STREET Number 7 By Albert T. Reid Markets Are Ready For Thanksgiving Fixin's and Trimmings in Great Array for Home Feasts Next Thursday AND PRICES ARE DOWN TOO Cost of Family Dinner Less Than Year Ago The Anaheim woman who starts out some morning next week to seek choice fixin's for her Thanksgiving dinner, will find the retail markets of the city well prepared to greet her. Tables and tiers are piled high with appetizing things to eat. And Better Yet Better yet, she is now going to find that her Thanksgiving feast is going to cost her considerably less than a year ago. While the price which she will have to pay for her turkey is as yet uncertain, there is no uncertainty about the cost of fixin's. If the dinner is to start with an oyster cocktail, or if the turkey is to have oyster dressing, the New York counts will cost 35 cents a dozen, or five cents less than a year ago. Of course, there must be cranberry sauce. In the markets there are crates of blushing red cranberries from the faraway marshes around Cape Cod. Santa Ana Wins In a Test Suit County Must Pay City Delinquent Taxes and Penalties—Other Cities Involved The indications are that a number of city treasuries over the county are going to be benefitted financially by a decision made by Superior Judge H. G. Ames in a suit brought by the city of Santa Ana against Orange county for recovery of money which the city contended was being withheld by the county. Basis of the Suit The action was based on the collection of delinquent taxes and penalties made by the county for the cities of Santa Ana, Fullerton, Laguna Beach, Tustin, San Clemente and Seal Beach, covering a period of many years, or since March 1, 1915. The city of Santa Ana sued for $30,-000, but the court reduced the amount to $14,374.31, the court holding that statute of limitations operated against some of the claim. According to attorneys for the city, demands had been made for the payment of money paid on penalties and interest on taxes collected, but the county refused to turn over the funds. Contention of County Attorneys for the county contended that special assessments for which property owners were penalized is not a tax and that the city of Santa Ana was entitled to a proportion to share of the tax only, exclusively of penalties and interest. It is thought that the decision by Judge Ames will form the basis for automatic settlement of all the claims made by the municipalities. The total amount thought to be due the cities from the county amounts to $40,000. Mission Societies Hold Fall Session The Federated Missionary societies of Anaheim held their Fall session at Colvary Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon. The music program was arranged by Mrs. Carroll Yonge and Mrs. A. Sanchez and Mrs. J. W. Morgan led the discussion on the use of missionary magazines. Mrs. Willia Brown spoke on the use of the study book, and Mrs. Fred Better you Thanksgiving feast is going to cost her considerably less than a year ago. While the price which she will have to pay for her turkey is as yet uncertain, there is no uncertainty about the cost of fixin's. If the dinner is to start with an oyster cocktail, or if the turkey is to have oyster dressing, the New York counts will cost 35 cents a dozen, or five cents less than a year ago. Of course, there must be cranberry sauce. In the markets there are crates of blushing red cranberries from faraway marshes around Cape Cod, Massachusetts, selling right here in Anaheim, 3,600 miles from their Yankee homeland, at two pounds for 25 cents—cheaper than a year ago. Celery comes in two bunches for 15 cents. Potatoes and Other Fixin's. There are all kinds of potatoes in the markets—and cheap at that. Yams, at seven pounds for 25 cents; Jersey sweets at six pounds for 25 cents; common, or "Irish," potatoes at from ten to 13 pounds for 25 cents. Rich, red tomatoes are down to four pounds for 15 cents. Long green asparagus fresh from their beds in Imperial Valley sell at 18 cents a pound. Small red raddishes are quoted at three bunches for a dime—the tenth part of a dollar. Two big cans of pineapple from distant Hawaiian can be had at two for 25 cents. Two large heads of lettuce cost but 15 cents; smaller ones, five cents each. Red Apples, California Grapes Delicious Jonathan apples, brilliant red in color and as large as a man's fist, are going at four pounds for a quarter. Grapes—California is a world beater in producing grapes—are piled high in great clusters, and are selling down at a price where a big bowl of them can be had for a Thanksgiving feast. The markets abound, too, in many kinds of nuts. Almonds are 25 cents a pound, and Brazil cream nuts are at the same price. Two pounds of filberts cost 25 cents, and California walnuts of the new crop are 23 cents a pound. Mile of Pennies to Pay Church Debt It would take $44,480 pennies, placed edge to edge, to make a mile, or $844.80 and that is the amount needed to pay the mortgage indebtedness of the Methodist church, South. An effort to raise the amount is now being made, 6000 contribution envelopes having been distributed among the members and friends of the church.

Chapman to Manage Shortridge Campaign Senator Samuel Shortridge has named Charles H. Chapman, of Fullerton, as manager in Southern California of his campaign for re-election to the U.S. Senate next year. Mr. Chapman, well known for many years in Republican politics, is keenly interested in the re-election of Senator Shortridge because of the service he has given in advancing the interests of California agriculture, especially in obtaining protective tariffs on various orchard products which the state produces.
