EDWARDS, CRAIG AND UTT BILLS FOR STANDARDIZATION APPROVED BY COMMITTEES AND ASSEMBLY Senator Nelson T. Edwards’ Measure Regulating Maturity of Oranges, Lowering Tolerance for Freezing and Color Considered One of Most Important; Craig Bill for Samples Measures of outstanding importance to California’s agriculture from the standpoint of standardization have been acted upon by the state legislature either in committee hearings or in assembly sessions. One of the most important measures relates to the standardization of citrus fruits, and several important changes have been made. This bill was introduced by Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange. MEMORIAL WINS ADMIRATION OF LOCAL CITIZENS Fountain Erected In Memory of Mrs. Langenberger Adorns City Park Anaheim’s memorial for Mrs. Clementine Langenberger—a beautiful ornamental fountain made of Italian marble, carved by Italian artists and shipped to this country—is being admired this week by hundreds of Anaheimers who visited the city park. The fountain, set in the middle of the rectangular pool at the middle of Lemon street entrance to the city park, was completed by the first of the week. Anaheim’s memorial for Mrs. Clementine Langenberger—a beautiful ornamental fountain made of Italian marble, carved by Italian artists and shipped to this country—is being admired this week by hundreds of Anaheimers who visited the city park. The fountain, set in the middle of the rectangular pool at the middle of Lemon street entrance to the city park, was completed by the first of the week. It is set on a cement base. All that remains to be done on the fountain is to place a bronze inscription, dedicating it to the memory of Mrs. Langenberger. The fountain is of simple design, picked out by Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, a life-long friend who is familiar with what the deceased had in mind when in 1913 she willed $500 as her gift to the city she loved. Mrs. Dwyer was assisted by Miss Dorothy Yungbluth. The fountain is in the form of a giant marble saucer supported by a slender, graceful stem. In the pool of water rides a child on a swan. The child holds the swan’s head erect, which thus spouts its spray of water from the opened mouth. Mrs. Langenberger came to Anaheim as Mrs. Theodore Edward Schmidt on a boat arriving at Anaheim Landing in 1860. Her first husband submitted the name "Annaheim" for the colony founded by the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which at a meeting on January 15, 1858, at San Francisco, adopted the name. Later by common consent one of the “n’s” was dropped in conformity with the Spanish spelling of Santa Ana valley, the Ana being combined with the German “heim” for “Home in the Ana Valley,” literally, or the more complete meaning. “Home in the Santa Ana valley.” After the separation of the Schmidts, Mrs. Schmidt married August Langenberger, who established the first store in this city. Previous to purchase of the 1100 acres of land by the Vineyard Society from the Rancho San Juan Cajon deSanta Ana, Langenberger operated a general store about two miles east of Anaheim proper, where he received a certain amount of business from early settlers and Spanish grant customers, trade with travelers between San Pedro and San Bernardino, the gateway to the great Mormon country in Utah, and the coast road between Los Angeles and San Diego, the two routes forming a crossroads in this vicinity.

This law also prevents the blending of lots of citrus which are frozen beyond the tolerance, with lots that are within the tolerance even though the ultimate inspection after mixing or blending is within the tolerance allowed by law. The marking requirements have been put back similar to what they were in the 1929 law and the standard size container again has been adopted. This bill was heard before the senate agriculture and livestock committee on March 27, but was held over for final action until more information could be obtained from the Imperial Valley relative to the increase in the color requirements of grapefruit. A companion measure in the Assembly, introduced by Assemblyman Samuel E. Robinson of Imperial raises the natural color standard of grapefruit in in the Coachella and Imperial Valleys from 25 to 50 percent of the surface of each grapefruit before picking. This bill passed the assembly and is now before the senate. Another bill introduced by Assemblyman Samuel E. Robinson and passed by the assembly, relates to the standardization of lettuce. This bill adds one defect in the quality provision, sets up marking requirements, eliminates the present standard size container and adds two new sized containers. It requires that dry pack as well as ice pack lettuce shall be in standard containers, or otherwise so marked. Two other bills introduced by Assemblyman Samuel E. Robinson and passed by the assembly set up requirements for honey ball and honey dew melons and pertain to the maturity requirements of cantaloupes, respectively. The first bill provides two maturity discontinuations on page 5). Hundreds Mourn Armor’s Death Well Known Pioneer Was Instrumental In Building of County In Past 50 Years Hundreds of friends throughout the county this week mourned the death last Thursday of Samuel Armor, well known pioneer of the county who was instrumental in the early development of the city and county of Orange. Mr. Armor died at his home 363 South Orange street, Orange, suddenly. Funnoon from the First Presbyterianeral services were held Saturday after church. Mr. Armor is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice Taylor Armor. Mr. Armor, who was highly respected and liked wherever he was known, was one of the stalwart figures in Urges Quake-Proof Construction Plan Californians have not much to worry about in future earthquakes if present buildings are reinforced and future buildings constructed ni accordance with modern quake-proof design, according to Arthur Terrell of the Fullerton junior college, who addressed the Anaheim Kiwanis club Tuesday on this subject. The speaker told some of the causes of earthquakes, traced the settling movement of the earth since the March 10 shake, and pleaded for proper construction of buildings as the best safeguard in the future. He told of the underground formations along the Pacific coast, explaining how the earth still is in a period of change, and that the earthquake phenomena, while not thoroughly understood, appears to be natural to geologists.

Mr. Armor died at his home 363 South Orange street, Orange, suddenly. Funnoon from the First Presbyterianeral services were held Saturday after-church. Mr. Armor is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alice Taylor Armor. Mr. Armor, who was highly respected and liked wherever he was known, was one of the stalwart figures in early county history. He was on the first board of supervisors of the county, following separation of the county from Los Angeles in 1889. In addition, he had been store keeper, editor of the Orange Post, historian, civic leader and director on the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company board for many years. He also was an elder in the Orange First Presbyterian church, and served in the Civil war. He was one of the few remaining members of the Orange G. A. R. post. Mr. Armor went to Orange 58 years ago. He was elected to the city council in 1900, where he served eight years, two of which were as mayor. Burglar Ransacks G. F. King’s Home Officers who investigated an apparent burglary at the G. F.

Mandated by an overwhelming majority in the Novem- DO YOU BELIEVE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE? California's popular government meets its crucial test next Tuesday. Mandated by an overwhelming majority in the November elections to unmercifully slash governmental expenses in order to bring down taxes, the state assembly early next week takes up the proposed $20,000,000 economy program affecting the controllable budget. Adoption of this program of economy would lessen by nearly half the danger of an ad valorem tax on all common property of the state; successful retrenchment in the controllable budget would give impetus to further slashes in governmental expenses to the end that the state might not face tremendous deficit at the end of the next biennium. Naturally, every time the legislature attempts to cut any single expense of the state, it steps on somebody's toes. It might be the contractor who has been gorging on public money for years. It might be state employees and their families who have been secure in their comparatively easy positions, certain of a more generous salary than has been the lot of the average citizen for comparable work. It might be any one or group of individuals or industries profiting by the 440 various functions of government added by legislative action since California attained statehood in 1850. Whomever is affected by proposed economies, he feels that economies are all right—but that they should not touch his sacred cow." As a result, organized minorities and individuals who would have to hitch up their belt and get along on less if the $20,000,000 bills are adopted; have written 25,000 letters to members of the assembly within the last week, protesting against each and every economy proposed. These active, loud-mouthed minorities now needing at the public trough are squealing for their very lives. Are we going to let them win over the will of the people as expressed at the polls last November? No! Only one effective weapon remains open for the people to demand their orders be obeyed. Sit down now and write to Assemblyman Ted Craig, Sacramento, California; and Lawrence Cobb, chairman of the assembly days and means committee, Sacramento, California, and tell them no uncertain language that you demand economies in government; that you expect and demand your next tax bill show a decided drop from its all-time high of recent years. If you believe our government should be "of the people, for the people and by the people" make sure you get your letters to both Craig and Cobb by next Tuesday. Let us show this letter-writing, screetching minority that when the people demand tax economies, they are going to get them. A.V.E.

Biggest of Roosevelt’s Farm Relief Plan Shows Five Important Grants of Power To Raise Farm Crop Prices President Franklin D. Roosevelt's farm relief program, which has received the attention of congress and the nation during the past ten days, concludes five important grants of power to the president and the secretary of agriculture. Details of the program were received this week by the Gazette from its secretary of agriculture. In the preamble of the measure, the condition and purposes are summarized as follows: "That the present acute economic emergency being in part the consequence of a severe and increasing disparity between the prices of agricultural and other commodities, which disparity has largely broken down the orderly exchange of commodities, and has seriously impaired the agricultural assets supporting the national credit structure, it is hereby declared that these conditions in the basic industry of agriculture have affected transactions in agricultural commodities with a national public interest, have burdened and obstructed the normal currents of commerce in such commodities, and (Continued on page 4) Beer Law Hailed As Model To Regulate Sales Features of Proposed Beer Ordinance Features of Anaheim's model liquor control ordinance, which becomes effective following publication in the Anaheim Gazette next week, are: No sales until April 14.

Anaheim Ministerial Union Contracts for Evangelist for Three-Week Campaign "Gypsy" Smith, one of the best known evangelists in America, will appear in Anaheim from November 5 to November 26; inclusive, in a nightly series of evangelical meetings to be held under the auspices of the Anaheim Ministerial association, Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, president, announced this week. Several places have been considered for the evangelical series, Rev. Ledbetter states, but none has been decided upon. Opinion at present, he says, somewhat favors securing the old Valencia Orange Show grounds as a central and easily accessible location. Church laymen provided a tabernacle for the John Brown series which will be available and is believed large enough to accommodate the large crowds that are sure to attend the "Gypsy" Smith series. In order to secure the evangelist, the local ministerial union had to contract for his services about a year in advance. Before coming to Anaheim, "Gypsy" Smith will appear in a similar series at Pomona.
