GROWERS GET SUBSTANTIAL CROP CHECKS Anaheim Citrus Sends $47,000 on Fourth Pool; Central Exchange Refund $20,899 Citrus growers going to their mail boxes Wednesday and Thursday mornings of this week were as delighted to see Uricle Sam's carriers as they would have been to get a glimpse of the flowing whiskers and red apparel of Santa Claus himself. For inside of tightly-sealed envelopes were checks varying amounts from various citrus houses in Anaheim. Members of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association received checks totalling $47,000, which were mailed out Wednesday, according to Manager Carl Monahan. The checks were in payment of the fourth pool, the latter part of which brought good returns on the Eastern market. Member houses — Anaheim Citrus Fruit, Anaheim Community Growers and Anaheim Orange and Lemon—of the Central Orange County Citrus exchange received checks totalling $20,-$99.20 as refunds. These houses comprise a substantial portion of the growers in this district. Speaking of the refund, Assistant Manager Stanley Trueblood, in the absence of Manager A. H. Kirchmann who Member houses — Anaheim Citrus Fruit, Anaheim Community Growers and Anaheim Orange and Lemon—of the Central Orange County Citrus exchange received checks totalling $20,-899.20 as refunds. These houses comprise a substantial portion of the growers in this district. Speaking of the refund, Assistant Manager Stanley Trueblood, in the absence of Manager A. H. Kirchmann who is in the East calling on the trade, said that the refunds indicated the economies and savings made in packing and marketing citrus fruits by local shippers. "None of the associations raised their retains at the start of the year, and in some cases retains were reduced." Trueblood said. "The savings were the result of economies and lower costs in packing house operations and of economies in the central exchange, which ranged all the way from salary reductions to greater efficiency in use of telegraph and telephone. "These payments have been made to growers as promptly as possible to assist them in meeting tax payments, orchard expense and other current bills. In a year when a few cents a box meant the difference between red ink or a slight return for a crop, the fact that the exchange and its local associations have made a special effort to save the grower every possible expense indicates that the growers' best interests are not being overlooked. The refund amount includes the regular exchanges revolving funds payments to its growers." Members of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association this week anxiously awaited substantial payments from the one-pool plan. The association is expected to get out the checks within the next week. La Habra, County Lose Legal Battle L Habra and Orange county lost their suit demanding forfeiture of the American States Water Service company franchise when Superior Judge Frank C. Collier Tuesday ruled in favor of the defendant. The America States is successor to the La Habra Domestic Water company. Judge Collier declared the forfeiture complaint as a step to be "abhorred." He awarded the deposit of $2,760.36 made by the company for taxes that were to have been paid last November, be turned over to the city and county, in accordance with the franchise specifications dated from April 26, 1926. The amount is more than was due, because some of the pipelines is on privy... Terry Stephenson Condition Better Postmaster Terry E.

ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1932 SOL'S WARMING SMILE FOLLOWS COLDEST STORM Monday Most Miserable Day In Memory of Old Timers; Wind Damage Surveyed Old Sol returned Wednesday from his long week-end vacation feeling rather tired from his trips behind the clouds, but Thursday morning woke up from his lofty perch the snow-clad mountains, wind-gnarled trees in northern Orange county, and warm the water-soaked path Jupe Pluvius followed as he dumped 1.5 inches of rain in his wake. Sol's belated smile on Thursday, however, didn't quite make up for his absence Monday when Anaheimers experienced the coldest wind and rainstorm in the memory of the oldest living residents. Temperatures dropped to 34 by 6 p.m., Monday. The cold rain and colder winds drove everybody indoors. Shudders from folk within brought shutters down as rags were stuffed under doors and windows to keep the cold blasts of winter from penetrating California houses. From Friday till Monday morning Pluvius spilled 1.25 inches of rain, and Monday night and Tuesday sprinkled another quarter of an inch, to make the total for the storm an even 1.5 inches. The total for the season is 2.23 inches, as compared with 4.7 last year. Harvard to St. James? The announcement of the retirement of Dr. A.

Trabucco District Escapes Fire Damage As Flames Cause $84,560 Loss In County Election of officers and addresses given by people prominent in watershed protection problems featured the program of the annual meeting Monday of the Orange County Forest Protective association. The election resulted in returning John Osterman to the presidency for another term; George Bates vice-president; E. T. Watson, director to the Orange County Farm Bureau; and W. M.

In all, it is estimated that property to the value of $90,757 was saved during the year. The program concluded with a showing of the film entitled "Forests Green and Forests Gray." CHARLES MANN ELECTED MAYOR AS COUNCIL ACCEPTS LEO SHERIDAN'S WITHDRAWAL AS CHAIRMAN PRO TEM Trustees Consider Successor to Frederick Koesel In Private Session but no Action Taken During Open Meeting; Monthly Reports of Departments Heard by Mann as First Duty Charles H. Mann, city councilman and prominent automobile dealer in this city for the past score of years, was named mayor of Anaheim Tuesday evening by the city council, filling the vacancy left by the untimely death of Frederick Henry Koesel, who succumbed two weeks ago to highwaymen's gunshot wounds. Vote followed motion of Pro Tem Mayor Leo Sheridan, who withdrew from the position as temporary chairman of the board and suggested the name of the new mayor. Friends and councilmen present spontaneously applauded the election of Mayor Mann, who responded with a word of appreciation for the honor shown him, and a pledge to do his utmost in serving his community. Previous to the open session the councilmen held a closed meeting at which it is understood the name of a successor to Mayor Koesel was considered. More than a dozen names had been submitted by prominent persons of the city, but no indication was made by the councilmen as to who they would choose for the vacancy. No action was taken at the formal meeting Tuesday evening, a successor noe even being mentioned, but observers believe the councilmen will get together later this week and make an appointment. Pending appointment of Mr. Koesel's successor on the council, the trustees are holding over appointment to fill a M. W. Martenet Jr. Reads Resolution of Sympathy to Widow, Grief of Associates Officially closing the career of Frederick Henry Koesel as leader of the city council. Mayor Pro Tem Leo Sheridan and fellow members of the board Tuesday evening paused in deep and reverent silence as the name they knew would not answer was called by the city clerk. "Councilman Koesel ..." Councilman M. W. Martenet Jr., arose and officially expressed the sorrow of the council for the passing of their former associate and leader. The resolution he read follows: "As a trustee of the city for more than four years during which time he gave his best efforts to progressive city government, he was always kind, gentle and sincere," the resolution stated in part. "He understood human nature and sympathized with man. As a business man his practice was one of service; he recognized his civic obligations and stood among the leaders of civic progress. In the passing of Mayor Koesel this city has lost a truly progressive official and an ideal citizen." Anaheim post, No. 72, American Legion, sent condolences on the death of the mayor. The communication was accepted and filed. Medicos Protest County Practice Until some better method of controlling communicable diseases is found, the county will continue its immunization and vaccination program. This in brief is Dr. K. H. Sutherland's answer to the Orange County Medical society, which recently protested immunization and vaccination by the county as an infringement upon private medical practice. Dr. Sutherland is Orange county health officer. "What we are interested in is results," he said, adding that "immunization is the best weapon against spread of communicable diseases." The society recently passed a resolution, addressing it to the state board of health, asking that state and local health agencies "refrain entirely from any actions which may be construed as what is generally known as private practice." A copy of the resolution was placed before the board of supervisors. It was signed by Dr. J. L. Maroon, president, and Dr. Harry G. Huffman, secretary, of the society. Dr. Sutherland holds that under the state law control of communicable disease rests upon public health authorities and since immunization and vaccination are recognized as the best methods they should be used by the Ten Seek Permits To Sell Wine, Beer Permits to sell wines and beers if and when state and federal laws will permit were sought by ten local residents from the city council Tuesday evening.
