Six Per Cent of Growers Outside Valencia Pact Ship 17 Ped Cent of Oranges; Spurs Industry Leaders to Ask Federal Control Organization of Whole Citrus Industry With Code of Ethics Under Industrial Recovery Act Looms as Obsetreperous Minority Works to Destroy Market Set Up of Growers Possibility of organization of the whole United States citrus industry under the new agricultural adjustment act was disclosed following a meeting of representatives of California marketing agencies, held in Los Angeles July 8. Such action would include California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and other southern states that produce smaller amounts of citrus fruits. C. C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, presided, Declares "Men Have Not Given God a Chance" Rev. Hunziker Says Mankind Must Give Lord Opportunity to Make Them Believe "Men have not given God the chance he must have to convert them, to make them believing disciples." So stated Rev. C. H. S. Hunziker, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church, to the 600 persons who attended the second of the series of union church services being held Sunday evenings at the Anaheim city park. "The colossal mistake that people have made in the recent past is not the wasting of money in times of plenty, though that is serious enough; not the investments in worthless speculations, thought that was folly; but the fact that they had not a place in the busy schedule of life for God." Rev. Hunziker's subject was "The Beautiful Life of Tabitha," with scriptural text from Acts 9:36. The Grace Lutheran church was in charge of arrangements last Sunday evening, with stated that he had been asked to attend a conference in Washington with administrators of the agricultural adjustment act on July 20 and to notify other marketing groups of the conference. Those who took part in the local meeting in addition to Mr. Teague, were: W. K. Beattie, Upland; E. A. Beck, Placentia; Stanley Chapman, Fullerton; George Cole, Phoenix; Jack Crill, Garden Grove; W. A. Dorman, El Centro; J. S. Edwards, East Highlands; H. A. Lynn, Riverside; LeRoy Lyon, Olive; Bruce McDaniel, Redlands; Perry Mathis, Anahelm; Bruce Moore, El Centro; C. E. Myers, Covina; Allen Wheaton, Redlands; Paul S. Armstrong, T. H. Powell, H. S. Hazeltine, and J. O. Cook, Jr., Los Angeles. The group passed the following resolutions: "Resolved, That the citrus interests of California and Arizona here represented believe that advantage should be taken of the opportunities offered by existing federal legislation to evolve a coordinated plan of operation which will be mutually beneficial to the various citrus producing areas of the United States. "Resolved, That it is important, that the California citrus industry should be well represented at this Washington conference, both with a view to having first-hand and thorough information and also to the end that we may exer- Rev. Hunziker's subject was "The Beautiful Life of Tabitha," with scriptural text from Acts 9:36. The Grace Lutheran church was in charge of arrangements last Sunday evening, with Henry Schimming singing a solo, and Elizabeth Hunziker playing the offer-tory solo, while the congregation joined in singing several songs. "Tabitha is one of those fine examples that show us what God can do with a corrupt sinful human soul, what precious fruit he can raise from it when he has opportunity to graft onto it the powerful twig of his saving gospel grace," Rev. Hunziker pointed out. "Faith in Christ and good works always go hand in hand," the minister said, referring to the many good deeds of Tabitha. "Faith without works is dead." "Hers was a beautiful Christian life because she was a disciple of Jesus. She was indeed busy during the week with her needle, both to support herself and to be of service to others. Though busy, she was not like so many in our day who rob God of His Lord's day and their own souls of the bread of life. She took time to go up to the house of the Lord, pay her vow and give God a chance to edify her soul. There she sat at the feet of the Master and heard of the bloody sacrifice He made for her; there she heard the gracious invitation: 'Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest,' and when her heart was touched by what Jesus had done for her and she wondered what she might do for Him, there at the feet of the Christ she learned the answer: 'Whatsoever ye have done to the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.' Many people in Joppa had a position of high rank, wealth and honor, but she was satisfied to live and die a believing disciple of Jesus. Do you know of anything nobler that could have been said about her? "The life of Tabitha was such a beautiful Christian life because she was full of good works and alms, deeds which she did. Faith in Christ and good works always go hand in hand. While we are saved by grace alone, and not by our works lest any man should boast, nevertheless, the God-given faith which lays hold of the merits of Christ is of such a nature that it will be active in doing good. Faith without works is dead. Tabitha was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." What a wealth of thought this text presents belief that advantage should be taken of the opportunities offered by existing federal legislation to evolve a coordinated plan of operation which will be mutually beneficial to the various citrus producing areas of the United States. "Resolved, That it is important, that the California citrus industry should be well represented at this Washington conference, both with a view to having first-hand and thorough information and also to the end that we may exercise such influence as we may protect our own interests as we see them." Mr. Teague, along with Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the exchange, and Bruce McDaniel, counsel for the M. O. D. and perhaps others will attend the Washington meeting. A preliminary memorandum setting forth the attitude of government officials favored organization of the citrus industry under the new law by states with a joint national board to administer major problems of common and nation-wide concern both to the industry and to consumers. It was also pointed out that if a program is adopted by the industry, "the department expects to enforce the full cooperation of all interests through the licensing system provided in the act." California now has a compulsory prorate bill under which control of shipments could be affected, but Florida and Texas have no such state law. Asked to comment, Mr. Armstrong said, "We have learned in our years of voluntary cooperation in the exchange and more recently in the voluntary stabilization and prorating of oranges in which various marketing agencies are cooperating, that there are a lot of things to be ironed out to make any program of controlled restriction of shipments and to make it work over a period of time. We have learned that a high percentage of cooperation is necessary. Right now, the six or seven per cent of California orange shippers that are not members of the valencia stabilization agreement, are shipping 17 per cent of the oranges." Name Committees For Gypsy Smith Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church and president of the Anaheim Ministerial union, was named general chairman of committees for the Gypsy Smith evangelistic campaign to begin here in November. The campaign will be sponsored by the union, which last week named the following committees: Building committee, L. B. Steward, chairman; Rev. O. R. Schroeder, assistant. Church choir Perry Mathis chair "The life of Tabitha was such a beautiful Christian life because she was full of good works and alms, deeds which she did. Faith in Christ and good works always go hand in hand.

Faith without works is dead. Tabitha was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. "That a wealth of thought this text offers for serious reflection. What an opportunity we have for service just at this time. May we forget more about self and think of others." GIVING THE DOVE OF PEACE A BREAK When the president made that splendid speech to the world to disarm, a whole raft of those foreign rulers took the chips off their shoulders—but Japan evidently wasn't listening. Rockefeller 4th Winthrop Rockefeller, fourth son of John D. Jr., is at work in a New Jersey plant of the Standard Oil Company and is reported as living in a $4.50 per week room. Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church and president of the Anaheim Ministerial union, was named general chairman of committees for the Gypsy Smith evangelistic campaign to begin here in November. The campaign will be sponsored by the union, which last week named the following committees: Building committee, L. B. Steward, chairman; Rev. O. R. Schroeder, assistant.

Ushers' committee, John Hayes of Fullerton, chairman; Rev. B. C. Voll, assistant. Young People's committee, Rev. S. E. Schraeder, chairman, and Walter F. Taylor, assistant. The report was made by Frank N. Gibbs, chairman of the nominating committee. Other committee members were the Rev. B. C. Voll, Rev. O. R. Schroeder, S. E. Schraeder, Perry Mathis, John Neuschafer, L. B. Steward and Garfield Allen. The next meeting will be held on September 10 at 2:30 o'clock in Wesley hall. Instructions to each committee were given out by Mr. Jongewaard, as received from Gypsy Smith. Tailor-mades for Tallest Camp Man The tallest recorded man in the E. C. W. camps in California is Samuel Carmack, 21, recruited at Ft. Worth, Texas, who stands a cool seven feet and wears a 15 shoe. Two pairs of pants had to be fashioned together to fit him, and his barracks cot had to be extended to keep his feet from hanging in space. Depreciation on the committee, packing or for business. The gross charge in a resale tree, or other thereby enhancing its investment. In its conclusion that, at an average box, the average could be placed at a price of 25 cents wholesaler and a percent of the price the transportation dozen, the hard selling charge being en, and the gross per dozen. In summing up "It is well to general average is also that product basis of fruit analysis the value quality of fruit tity of quality frie should be based crop which can be low grade profitable but be its disposal. Cost W "The cost of wide variation Water and taxes." ANAHEIM GAZETTE Change System of Fixing Sewer Cost Members of the joint outfall sewer district will pay a pro-rata rather than on an ownership basis, if decision of the executive board last week is worked out. The change will not greatly affect either Anaheim or Fullerton Councilman Leo Sheridan of Anaheim points out, because their gallonage share and ownership share are about equal. It will make considerable difference in Orange, however, where gallonage does not equal ownership, and may also decrease Santa Ana's share, while increasing the payments from Buena Park, and possibly from La Habra and Garden Grove. Home Department To Demonstrate Will Show Housewives Newest Methods to Preserve Tomato, and Berry Juices The women of the home department of the Orange county farm bureau will hold a demonstration on the preservation of berry and tomato juices at the Orange intermediate school on Friday, July 14, starting at 9:30 a.m. The demonstration will be under the direction of the department chairman, Mrs. L. A. Bortz of Olive, and the project leaders who have attended the training meetings conducted by the home demonstration specialist, Miss Dorothy Wilkinson, of the University of California. One of the principal reasons for giving the coming demonstration is to afford the rural woman of the country an opportunity familiarize themselves with the latest and most efficient methods of preserving tomato and berry juice while these products are still in season. All women are welcome to attend the demonstration, and should bring with them a quantity of the product they wish to preserve, and a supply of bottles that can be capped. Raymond Nebelung Made Acting Chief Anaheim's Raymond E. Nebelung, who won a commission from the British government several years ago to study South Africa agricultural conditions with a view to development of a citrus industry, has been promoted to acting chief land appraiser for the federal land bank. He has moved headquarters to Berkeley. For eight years he has been appraiser for the same bank, covering Southern California, and portions of Utah and Arizona. He will make final disposition of all appraisals submitted in the Pacific coast district for federal loans. able between years, are the most variable between localities, and in some places have a large influence on increased costs. Other factors are variable between seasons, and in 1932 were influenced by an oversupplied market, which may not be so in the future. Whether efficiency has been maintained in cultural practice will be determined in time to come. "Costs of packing and selling, also vary between districts and houses. While quantity may cause some variation between houses, the greater effect on the packed box cost is the quality of fruit the grower delivers to the plant. "Freight is obviously the channel for marked reductions in costs. * "The acreage figures show that 40 per cent of the trees are 15 years or older, 82 per cent are of bearing age and 18 per cent non-bearing. Undoubtedly under normal conditions the industry will find it necessary to make use of every method possible; to extend markets, and increase consumer demand. To this should be added—the building up of confidence of wholesaler and public, by shipping only that fruit which by its appearance and internal quality creates satisfaction; then regulating the shipments so that the markets will reflect the high standard of this California product." Members of the Orange county farm bureau citrus committee responsible for other striker wars declared Orange county lately, agitators appealed trying to force the ranch owners Land Bank Aide Studying Water Federal Land Bank Engineer S. T. Harding this week continued his investigation of underground water supply and pumping costs for agricultural purposes in Orange county. The farm bureau agricultural credits committee met with the land bank engineer last Friday at the farm buerau office to present data secured from a wide variety of sources to prove that normal return of crops considered, pumping and irrigating costs of citrus lands are reasonable. The purpose of the survey is to modify federal land bank regulations prohibiting loans to districts pumping water more than 100 feet, or make an exception for Orange county, in order that loans might be made here. Records were secured from the recent qualitative survey made by Dr. C. S. Scofield, U. S. department of agriculture; Orange county flood control, state division of water resource, water company, individual and mutual water firms, Southern California Edison company and others. Members of the committee present at the conference held in the Farm Burau office were: C. A. Palmer, chairman; Harold E. Wahlberg, secretary; E. E. Campbell, B. L. Chandler, Paul Bailey, C. Roy Browning, F. E. Farnsworth, C. E. Crumrine, J. E. Lewis and M. N. Thompson. Strikers' War Flares Up Again Strike trouble flared up last Friday at the Clarence E. McFadden ranch on Hot Springs road near San Juan Capistrano, but trouble died down by Saturday and at press time this week there had been no fresh outbreaks. Like other striker wars declared, Orange county lately, agitators appeared trying to force the ranch owners sign an agreement that only Mexican would be hired, at a minimum wage of 25 cents an hour. To this the owner rebelled, and brought 26 workers from Santa Ana to replace those lured away by the strike agitators. Sheriff Jackson sent a squad of deputies to the scene when agitators attempted to force workers to leave the fields. The strike work is being carried on through the Mexican consul in Los Angeles. KNOW YOUR OWN Growers Should Get $3.50 a Box Depreciation Added Depreciation should be charged says the committee, just as it is charged for packing or for any other line of business. The grower should place such charge in a reserve fund for replacing trees, or other forms of depreciation, thereby enhancing his credit and stabilizing his investment. In its conclusions, committee states that, at an average price of $3.4988 per box, the average box of 240 oranges could be placed on the retail market at a price of 25 cents per dozen, with the wholesaler and retailer getting 30 percent of the price, or 7.5 cents per dozen, the transportation agency 7.2 cents per dozen, the harvesting, packing and selling charge being 3.7 cents per dozen, and the grower receiving 6.6 cents per dozen. In summing up, the pamphlet says: "It is well to emphasize that a general average is all that can be expected. Also that production costs are on a basis of fruit marketed, for in the final analysis the value of a crop is not the quality of fruit grown, but the quantity of quality fruit. Therefore, income should be based on that portion of the crop which can be profitably disposed of. The low grade portion is not only unprofitable but becomes a cost item for its disposal." Cost Varies Widely "The cost of growing oranges has a wide variation according to location. Water and taxes, while the least vari- Anaheim, Calif., July 13, 1933 Registering Men For R. F. C.

A few hours from home you catch your first glimpse of the valley. All the photographs, all the descriptions you've ever heard of it are forgotten. You see before you a sight greater than you have dreamed it could be. Just picture yourself and your family off for a holiday in Yosemite. (You've never been there? How like so many of us Californians!) A few hours from home you catch your first glimpse of the valley. All the photographs, all the descriptions you've ever heard of it are forgotten. You see before you a sight greater than you have dreamed it could be. Other thrills follow in rapid succession from the moment you enter the great bowl. Soon you hear the roar of mighty falls, stand so close you feel their spray. You'll swim and hike and ride, take pictures and explore. At night you'll sing around a huge campfire and watch the nightly firefall. Tomorrow you'll climb up there to Glacier Point and feel as if you're looking down on all the world. You'll wish you could stay on and on in this peaceful valley. But there are other sights, near at hand, to be seen. The great trees of the Wawona Grove, for instance. Lake Tahoe, mile-high blue sea, is only a day away over the beautiful Tioga Pass Road. Nearby are Sacramento and the famous Mother Lode country with its romantic history. Then you're not far from San Francisco, America's coolest summer city, which calls with a long list of wonders and strange sights. New interests have been added in recent years: the War Memorial Opera House, the Legion of Honor Palace, the Veterans' War Memorial, Fleishhacker Zoo, and others.
