Is Now In Its 62d Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY THE GAZETTE 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIII CITRUS CROPS AVERAGE $,1000 TO A CARLOAD 79,066 Carloads of Oranges, Lemons and Grapefruit Shipped This Year California shipments of oranges, lemons and grapefruit for the year ending October 31 aggregated 79,066 carloads, bringing a return of $79,000,000. These figures were announced Wednesday in Los Angeles by General Manager Paul S. Armstrong of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, to which most of the houses in Orange county belong. Average return per carload was $1,000. California shipped 62,222 cars of oranges, 14,529 cars of lemons and 2,315 cars of grapefruit, making a total of 79,066 carloads out of the 143,000 carloads from all sources sold in the United States during the year. Shows Cooperative Benefits The exchange shipped 58,201 cars, or 73.6 per cent of the total state crop. The 1925 and 1931 crops exceeded the 1932, both in volume and return to the grower. Manager Armstrong pointed out that world-wide financial conditions forced the market so low many growers failed to clear expenses, but that Shows Cooperative Benefits The exchange shipped 58,201 cars, or 73.6 per cent of the total state crop. The 1925 and 1931 crops exceeded the 1932, both in volume and return to the grower. Manager Armstrong pointed out that world-wide financial conditions forced the market so low many growers failed to clear expenses, but that the "return of $1,000 per car average for a large crop is convincing evidence of the benefits of years of organization and cooperative efforts that stand behind the California citrus industry. "From the monetary standpoint the returns did not reach figures consistent with the volume of shipments, but growers interpreted the volume of business as a sure indication that the stability of the industry was demonstrated and that benefits will accrue quickly as soon as general business and buying power improve." Urges Freight Reductions Shipments concluded October 31 constitute 7.5 per cent less in volume and 23.7 per cent less on monetary returns than in 1931. Delivered value of the California and Arizona crop was $121,-634,504, of which $42,413,752 represented the cost of refrigeration and transportation. Freight reductions, in the opinion of Manager Armstrong, must be made or other means of transportation will be found. In contrast with present marketing conditions, the freight bill is termed excessive.. "Fixed charges in the industry are too high," he said. "Freight and refrigeration rates constitute a major item in expense which are manifestly out of line with commodity price levels now prevailing. Unless railroads themselves realize this necessity they will lose both through reduction in total shipment and through diversion to other means of transportation. The railroads will suffer equally with the citrus industry if this unbalanced condition is allowed to continue." Water transportation saved $153,450 in the year, and shipments to Europe saved 15 cents per box as a result of economies instituted. Tax Collections Run Ahead of '31 Tax collections in the county during the first five days of the first installment exceeded a similar period last year. Collector John Lamb announced this week. From Tuesday through Saturday. Legionnaires Will Help Unemployed Plan Big Barbecue November 27 To Raise Money for Jobless Commissaries For the purpose of aiding Orange county jobless, the Orange county council, American Legion, will sponsor a gigantic public barbecue at Iryne Park. Date for the affair has been tentatively set as November 27, with chairmen of each post's community betterment committee on a group of which Fred Dukes of Garden Grove is chairman. The unemployed, represented by President H. E. Axup of Anaheim, claim 11,000 jobless in the county. They reported commissaries in every incorporated city, and several in unincorporated cities in the county, through which are assembled foodstuffs from farms and orchards, for distribution to needy after proper preparation by voluntary workers. Legionnaires hope to raise several hundreds of dollars in cash to help in the purchase of necessary food. Decision to help the unemployed was made at a meeting of the county council at Fullerton last week. Armistice Program Attracts Thousands Many thousands of Orange county citizens will motor to Fullerton Friday morning to attend the 1932 Orange county Armistice day parade, which begins at 11 a.m. More than 100 entries have been received, for which 35 metal plaques will be awarded as prizes, with honorable mention receiving ribbons. After the parade a barbecue is scheduled, where certain band members and national guard units were to be fed, and to which the public was invited at a nominal charge. In the afternoon a big program is planned. The Fullerton-Santa Barbara high school football game is expected to draw a major portion of the crowd, while the El Rodeo club grounds will be the scene of a rodeo. Tax Collections Run Ahead of '31 Tax collections in the county during the first five days of the first installment exceeded a similar period last year. Collector John Lamb announced this week. From Tuesday through Saturday of last week the total collections were $126,230.54 as contrasted with $107,794.49 last year. Daily collections were: First day, $19,756.04; second, $3,599.61; third, $32,136.63; fourth, $29,888.04; and fifth, $11,850.22. Indications point to no worth-while property going delinquent. Most delinquent property, according to Lamb, will be in areas where overlapping district assessments are too burdensome. The taxpayers show a more cheerful attitude this year, the collector states, claiming that he has received only one complaint on amount of taxes. First installment of taxes becomes delinquent after 5 p.m. December 5, after which a 10 per cent penalty will be added.

AHEIM GAZET ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1932 Democrats Organize Lyon, Edward LeROY LYON'S FIGHT CARRIES 3RD DISTRICT Orange County Goes Democratic By 1386 Votes; No. 9 Is Defeated When the smoke of election battle cleared away Wednesday morning, Supervisor-elect LeRoy Lyon, Congressman-elect Sam Collins, State Senator Nelson T. Edwards and Assemblyman Edward Craig were bombarded with congratulations for their successful campaign. Lyon's aggressive fight against William Schumacher proved the biggest local sensation of the day—unless the vote in a normally three-to-one republican snowball leading Hoover by a vote of 23,700 to 22,314 was more outstanding. Lyon's public meetings, circulars and "Good Charter Members At Legion Meet Allan Bixby of Pasadena Is Guest Speaker; Stresses Early Problems Charter members of the Anaheim post, American Legion, and others associated with the local unit in its infancy, were introduced at the impromptu meeting held Monday evening, which 140 members and guests attended. Past State Department Commander Allan Bixby of Pasadena was guest speaker. He stressed early problems of the Legion in California, and praised the work of Art Shipkey on the state executive committee. Charter members and early joiners of the post introduced included: Paul Davidson, Howard Haynes, Paul Tedrick, James Sutherland, Lou Winney, Milton Pannier, Sam Betz, Walter Hochuli, Sam Snodgrass, Henry Baxter, Rollo Luhring, Art Shipkey, Jack Hebson, George Betzold, Joe C. Elliott, Bob Gregg, Fred Hayes, Ed Campbell, M. W. Martenent, Jr., Charles Pearson and Frank Ranker.

Fullertonian Fined $200, Following Raid When J. A. Armour of the Williams rooming house in Fullerton appeared before Judge Halsey I. Spence Monday morning, following a police raid Saturday night, he was ordered to pay a $200 fine or spend 100 days in jail. Police confiscated eight pints of whiskey during the raid. LeRoy Lyon Besides giving Roosevelt a lead of 1,386 votes, the county buried the republican senatorial candidate. Tallant Tubbs, giving him only 9,628 votes, and cast a favorable eye on Rev. Robert Shuler, the militant Los Angeles pastor. He carried the county, 21,301 votes, with McAdoo second with 17,420. Democratic nominees ran unusually strong in the other offices. Sam Collins carried the county for congressman from the nineteenth district with a vote of 22,798, defeating Democrat B. Z. McKinney who received 20,577. Collins was running ahead of McKinney in Riverside enough to bring his lead to 5,000, which the democratic candidate is not expected to overcome in late reports from the desert regions of San Bernardino county, which favors him slightly. Nelson T. Edwards, veteran representative of Orange county in the state senate, was returned by a vote of 24,-001 to David Wetlin's 19,013. Edward (Ted) Craig candidate for reelection in the 75th assembly district, won over Democrat Itobert Ramsey by a vote of 11,371 to 8,404. Anaheim turned out almost en masse to vote.

To the following victors in Tuesday's presidential elections, the Anaheim Gazette wishes to extend its heartiest congratulations: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, for his sweeping election to the presidency of the United States. William Gibbs McAdoo, for his election as senator from California. Sam Collins, for his election as congressman from the new nineteenth congressional district. LeRoy Lyon, for his election as supervisor from the third district. Nelson T. Edwards, for the peoples' expression of confidence in re-electing him state senator. Edward (Ted) Craig, for his re-election as assemblyman from the seventy-fifth district. The Gazette opposed Roosevelt, McAdoo and Lyon feeling the best interests of the nation, state and county demanded the election of their opponents. However, the American people have spoken in a mighty voice that has shaken the very foundations of our government—and we respect the voice of the American electorate. To the choice of America and to the choices of Orange county and the third supervisorial district, the Gazette gives its staunch support. All the candidates named at the polls Tuesday are worthy men. They will do their best for their country and their constituency. To them the Gazette extends its best wishes for a successful solution or our pressing problems, and lends its support in fullest measure to constructive programs. We are glad the election was decisive enough to leave no doubt that the majority of people wanted a change. Governor Roosevelt inherits one of the most difficult jobs ever given a man. He needs the united support of the nation to succeed—and, as sincerely as his most ardent supporters, we wish him success. We have no patience with backbiters, snipers and apologizers. McAdoo faces a hard task in his pledge to protect the California grower in the tariff schedule, as well as assume his logical position as one of the leaders of his party at Washington. Congressman Sam Collins, who earned the support of Orange county folk by his courageous attacks on racketeers attempting to enter the county, carries with him the very best wishes of the electorate. He will need all his courage and good judgment in Washington. State Senator Nelson T. Edwards has an unblemished record as a servant of Orange county. He has received the Gazette's support in previous years, and certainly deserves it now. Assemblyman Ted Craig likewise, by his steller work in reapportionment, has our backing. Upon LeRoy Lyon soon rests the responsibility for carrying on the work of the third district on the board of supervisors. His successful record as a rancher, director and president of co-operative associations, and in numerous other offices, bespeaks an ability that assures us favorable representation on the county board. In him we have an able and honest official. For these capable new representatives of our own government we tender our congratulations and best wishes for success. With unstinted help of their constituents the new officials' problems will be simplified. In this spirit of unselfish cooperation the Gazette urges their loyal support. organizing Cabinet; Edwards, Collins Victors NEXT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S MAJORITY IS SIX MILLIONS Bourbons Control Both House and Senate After Tuesday's Landslide Given a clear and decisive mandate by the American people to take over the reigns of government March 4, President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt and his democratic aides Wednesday first attended to the business of thanking their constituents for their overwhelming support, and then settled down to consideration of a cabinet, and organization in preparation for the first democratic administration since the World war. 3 Youths Held On Burglary Charges Two Confess to Theft of Autos From Local Garages; Gun Is Identified In lieu of $5,000 bail each, three Anaheim youths, Irwin Smith, Leslie Chamberlain and Glen Rogers, today were in Orange county jail at Santa Ana, to answer in superior court charges of grand larceny and burglary. Held to answer in recorder's court Wednesday morning, the youths failed to raise bail. In the confession of Smith and Rogers, who were arrested last week at Monterey, they implicated Chamberlain in their purported theft of a new Ford car from Harold Keirsey's agency on North Los Angeles street several weeks ago. Smith and Rogers had a machine believed to be the one stolen from the Hudson-Essex agency on South Los Angeles street in their possession when arrested. In the car were numerous rifles, pistols, and other loot. One rifle has been identified as having been stolen from Sam Lund's car some time ago, while a pistol was taken from a car parked near the Southern California Telephone company. Rogers and Smith claimed that the machine stolen from Keirsey was disposed of "in the north." Police Chief James S. Bouldin was awaiting return of the rest of the loot taken in the car to be identified locally through which it was insured. Win Both Houses Not only did the democrats carry the presidency by an overwhelming majority, but they carried with them 291 seats in the house, while the republicans were assured of only 104, with 40 seats at a late tabulation still in doubt. A majority consists of 214 seats, thus giving the Bourbons absolute control of this branch. In the senate the democrats filled 28 of the 34 seats at stake, bringing total voting strength to 59, with controlling a majority. The re-election five contests, making it two with one seat still in doubt and one hold-over. Farmer-Labor-Supreme Court of Minnesota. Expresses Conidence In a message to the American people, President-elect Roosevelt Wednesday said: "My friends: I am glad of this opportunity to extend my deep appreciation to the electorate of this country which has given me this great vote of confidence. "It is a vote that had more than mere party significance. It transcends party lines. It became a national expression of liberal thought. It means, I am sure, that the masses of the people of this nation firmly believe that there is great and actual possibility in an orderly recovery, through a well-conceived and actively directed plan of action. "Such a plan has been presented to you and you have expressed approval of it. This, my friends, is most reassuring to me. It shows that there is in the nation unbounded confidence in the future of sound agriculture and honorable industry. This clear mandate shall not be forgotten. I pledge you this, and I invite your help, the help of all of you, in the happy task of restoration." 3 Anaheim Principals Attend Joint Meeting Principals of local elementary schools this week recalled with pleasure their Students Examining Treasure Chest Arts The chest of art treasures collected by Glenn Lukens of Fullerton junior college to develop appreciation of objects of art by elementary students, will be shown at Katella till November 14, on which date it will be taken to Alamitos; Centralia, November 21; Cvpress, November 28; Laurel, December 6; Stanton, December 12 and Olinda, December 18.
