THE GAZETTE Is Now In Its 64th Year OLDEST PAPER IN THE COUNTY 108 NORTH EMILY STREET VOL. LXIV BETTER RETURNS TO AGRICULTURE A HOPEFUL SIGN Orange Production Is Slightly Under Last Year; Year 1933 Marks New Financing, "While markets were not entirely satisfactory for many commodities, increased returns to growers is an important improvement and a gratifying indication of return of better times." Agricultural Statisticians E. E. Kaufman and R. E. Blair of the federal-state crop reporting service stated as they made their annual report on California farm products and viewed prospects for 1934. Orange production this year was slightly under that of last year, but the estimated price per box that may be received probably will be slightly above 1932, the federal-state figures showing that in 1932 the production was estimated at $23,527,000 boxes with a farm value of $33,827,000 or $1.00 a box, while this year the orange crop was estimated at $22,547,000, total farm value of $34,174,000 or $1.05 per box. The report shows the California fruit and nut industries are in a decidedly better condition than a year ago. Gross production is shown as about 95,000 tons more than last year while the estimated farm value of the crops received probably will be slightly above 1932, the federal-state figures showing that in 1932 the production was estimated at 23,827,000 boxes with a farm value of $33,827,000 or $1.00 a box, while this year the orange crop was estimated at 32,547,000, total farm value of $34,174,000 or $1.05 per box. The report shows the California fruit and nut industries are in a decidedly better condition than a year ago. Gross production is shown as about 95,000 tons more than last year while the estimated farm value of the crops this year is estimated at about $20,899,-000 greater than of 1932, an increase of 19 per cent. "Of all these commodities, it is estimated that in 1932 there was a total of about 414,000 tons unharvested, due to no market demands, while of the 1933 crops only about 106,000 tons went unharvested and unsold," the federal-state summary points out. "It is, of course, true that while the large average was improving, there remained those individual cases where much disappointment and serious losses were experienced," the report continued. "A part of the progress made toward a better position is no doubt due to assistance or facilities made available by government agencies, while much of the improvement is also due to the group efforts of many of these industries." Discussing the crop year as a whole, the report said "Agricultural historians will no doubt record 1933 as a period of two outstanding landmarks in the evolution of American agriculture: the first being the great change in agricultural financing, from both the standpoint of farmers' invested capital and operation accounts; the second as the trial of a new type of crop production control as a basis of price improvement." "This year will be recorded as one of comparatively good climatic conditions and adequate production. While the usual wet months were considerably drier than desired, irrigation supplies were reasonably ample during the growing season." Farm value of fruits and nuts in the state for 1933 was set at $128,124,000 with an average value per ton of $31.44. Last year the report showed the estimated farm value of the same crop was estimated at $107,225,000 with an average value of $26.95 per ton. Crop production increases over 1932 were noted in apples, cherries, figs, raisin grapes, lemons, cling peaches and prunes. Decreases in the crop production of the following were noted: almonds, apricots, wine grapes, dried raisins, grapefruit, oranges, olives, freestone peaches, pears, plums and walnuts. Included in the fruit and nuts which received probably will be slightly above 1932, the federal-state figures showing that in 1932 the production was estimated at 23,827,000 boxes with a farm value of $33,827,000 or $1.00 a box, while this year the orange crop was estimated at 32,547,000, total farm value of $34,174,000 or $1.05 per box.

Included in the fruit and nuts which brought in a larger farm value this year were almonds, apples, apricots, cherries, figs, grapes, dried raisins, grapefruit, lemons, oranges, olives, cling peaches, freestone peaches, pears, plums, prunes. Only one class, walnuts, failed to bring more this year than last year, a study of the figures shows, but it indicated that last year the walnut crop was approximately 45,500 tons while this year it is about 32,000 tons. The (Continued on page 8) Ask School Board To Tell Problems Members of the Anaheim union high school board of trustees will be invited to meet with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce directors next Thursday, January 11, to discuss the problems of safety for school children and try to arrive at some line of action regarding repair of reconstruction of earthquake-damaged school structures. Since proposals to rebuild and repair were turned down by the voters at the special election on December 18 by defeat of the $275,000 bond issue, no definite plan has been advanced which provides for safety of the school children and yet meets the dictates of the taxpayers. Secretary George Reid of the Chamber of Commerce says the meeting is for the purpose of threshing out the problem and trying to arrive at a satisfactory solution. Local Banks Under Federal Insurance Both the Southern County Bank and the Anaheim branch, Bank of America, come under the blanket federal insurance for deposits up to $2500 which went into effect Tuesday. Virtual insurance of new accounts is guaranteed at the Anaheim First National bank, according to Conservator William A. Dolan, because federal regulations provide that all new deposits must be kept 100 per cent liquid, allowing only for deposit with the federal reserve, purchase of government bonds, or actual storage of cash. The bank has been under a conservator since the bank holidays in March. Episcopalians To Hold Annual Meet Annual meeting of the St. Michael's Episcopal church parish will be held Wednesday evening, January 10, at the Parish hall. Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector, will preside. Annual reports will be heard. St. Michael Observer The annual twelfth Light" festival will p.m. Sunday evenings.

ROOSEVELT RAPID CLEAN-UP FOR FARM LOANS PROMISED HERE All But Four Applications Are In Hands of Appraisers By Wednesday, Nebelung Says Rapid clean-up of all Orange county applications for federal land bank and commissioner loans was indicated Wednesday of this week when Chief Appraiser Raymond Nebelung stated that all but four applications from this county had been acted upon or assigned to appraisers. Nebelung, born and reared in Anaheim and for many years an appraiser for the federal land bank, being assigned to Central and Southern California, Arizona and Nevada, returned to this city for the New Year holidays. He made his trip one of business as well as pleasure, spending Tuesday and Wednesday reviewing the work of appraisers in this county before returning to his headquarters at Berkeley. A total of $211,000 has been loaned in both land bank and commissioner loans in Orange county to date, with the greater share of that amount being granted within the last few weeks. This total doesn't compare with that of some other counties in California, Nebelung states, because Orange county was slow in organizing a co-operative association through which loans can be made. This Miss Jane Hincks, Pasadena society debutante, was Princess of the Pacific in the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena New Year's day, when 200,000 people lined the streets to watch the parade go dripping by, and about 35,000 peered through a mist to watch Columbia's valiant football squad subdue Stanford's Indians by a 7-0 score. Rights-of-Way For Manchester Sought Highway May Be Built by End of Year to Orangethorpe; No Cost to Property Owners If rights-of-way can be secured immediately, construction of the proposed Manchester boulevard from Firestone avenue in Los Angeles directly to the Junction of Katella road and the state highway will be underway before the year ends. This is the information announced following a conference between Highway Commissioner P. A. Stanton and the Orange county board of supervisors. Stanton will lay the situation before the state highway commission during the latter part of this week, at a meeting to be held at Sacramento. Engineer E. Whittemore, formerly with the county road department and now with the state highway, has been assigned to secure signatures deeding rights-of-way, which officials anticipate will be given freely because the state will bear the cost of highway construction instead of assessing abutting property-owners for the improvement. Los Angeles county has assured the state highway commission that it will have secured rights-of-way to the Orange county line by July 1. This makes probable construction of the highway to pleasure, spending Tuesday and Wednesday reviewing the work of appraisers in this county before returning to his headquarters at Berkeley. A total of $211,000 has been loaned in both land bank and commissioner loans in Orange county to date, with the greater share of that amount being granted within the last few weeks. This total doesn't compare with that of some other counties in California, Nebelung states, because Orange county was slow in organizing a co-operative association through which loans can be made. This association, however, was formed during the middle of December, with R. D. Flaherty chosen as executive secretary, and since has functioned rapidly. Now that the Orange County Production Credit association has begun to function," Nebelung said, "Orange county applications are being cleared in rapid order. In fact, applications from this county now are taking shape so rapidly that the county's operative machinery is among the leaders of the state. Previous to the formation of the co-operative association, all loans had to be made through Los Angeles. They naturally were slowed up by that process." Nebelung said another factor which slowed up local loans was federal restriction on the water situation, which was lifted in September. Highest loans yet made by the federal land bank in Orange county are $500 per acre. In some cases an additional commissioner's loan of $250 per acre has been secured, making a total of $750 per acre. "Of course, in making loans, the production record of the individual grove, the soil and condition of trees, and the care and intelligence given the orchard are factors which largely determine the amount which can be granted. We cannot set a general rule for all groves because of the degree of variance in production and returns." The Orange County Production Credit association recommendations for loans go to the intermediate credit bank at Berkeley for final approval. On the first day of the year the local association approved five applications aggregating $3935. The amount requested was $3378. The board considered 11 loan applications, approved five, rejected two, and deferred action on four. Sixty farmers in the county had applied for loans by Tuesday, and by Wednesday all but four of these applications had been either acted upon or placed in the hands of appraisers. Urges Government To Purchase Oranges Miss Jane Hincks, Pasadena society debutante, was Princess of the Pacific in the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena New Year's day, when 200,000 people lined the streets to watch the parade go dripping by, and about 35,000 peered through a mist to watch Columbia's valiant football squad subdue Stanford's Indians by a 7-0 score. Citrus Groups To Meet Next Week Anaheim Citrus, Orange and Lemon, and Community Growers Meet Anaheim's three members of the California Fruit Grower's Exchange—Anaheim Citrus Fruit, Anaheim Orange and Lemon and Anaheim Community Growers associations—will hold their meetings on three successive days, January 10, 11, and 12, respectively. All meetings are scheduled to be held at the packing houses, with Anaheim Citrus meeting at 9:30 a.m., Orange and Lemon at 1:30 p.m., and the Community Growers sometime during the morning, no definite time having been announced. The other member of the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange, Scott and Borden, is privately owned and holds no annual gathering, although it ships through the district exchange. The district exchange will hold its annual meeting at its offices in the Kraemer building on February 12. The Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange will hold its annual meeting on the same day. The La Habra Citrus association is the first member of the Northern Orange County district exchange to meet, with the annual gathering scheduled for January 4 at the La Habra Women's clubhouse. Dinner will be served. The Placenta Mutual is next, meeting January 9 at 10 a.m. at the packing house. Following lunch, an afternoon session also is planned. The Placenta Orange Growers will meet in the old auditorium of the Fullerton union high school on January 13 at 10 a.m. The Orange-thorpe association will gather January 11 at the packing house, while the Fullerton Mutual association holds its conclave January 16 at 10:30 a.m. The Placenta Cooperative will meet on Jan- with the county road department and now with the state highway, has been assigned to secure signatures deeding rights-of-way, which officials anticipate will be given freely because the state will bear the cost of highway construction instead of assessing abutting property-owners for the improvement. Los Angeles county has assured the state highway commission that it will have secured rights-of-way to the Orange county line by July 1. This makes probable construction of the highway to Orangenthorpe, possibly by the end of 1934. Manchester, when completed, will form the quickest route to Los Angeles, according to engineers, who estimate it will make a saving of approximately six miles from Anaheim, and seven from Santa Ana. The right-ofway will be 100 feet wide, with a 76-foot pavement. Manchester comes in at Buena Park at the new cut-off and follows the Southern Pacific tracks northwest to Downey straight through to South Gate and Inglewood to Playa del Rey. From Buena Park it follows the tracks southeast to Santa Ana boulevard south of Anaheim to Katella road and the state highway. St. Michael's Will Observe 12th Night The annual twelfth night "Peace of Light" festival will be observed at 7 p.m. Sunday evening by St. Michael's Episcopal church, Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector, announces. Persons of all ages are invited to take part in this symbolic service celebrating the anniversary of the coming of the wise men. Each person present is given a candle to participate in the ritual. Special Epiphany music will be provided. The rector will speak on "Light." 60 CWA WORKERS HERE Sixty CWA men are employed in Anaheim this week, 50 on the sewer project approved several weeks ago, and 10 on curbways in the city park. Urges Government To Purchase Oranges Anaheim's Chamber of Commerce last week adopted a resolution requesting the federal government to include oranges as a necessary food in its purchases for the needy. In its resolution, the Chamber pointed out the need for a health-giving diet, and pointed with pride to the fact that the industry voluntarily gave 600 cars of oranges to the government's agencies for distribution to the needy. The action of the local group follows similar proposals initiated by the Riverside Chamber of Commerce. ADMITS WHIPSTOCKING President E. E. Combs of the Termo Corporation, first witness on the stand in the state's case against whipstocking of wells in the Huntington Beach area, admitted he "fathered" the idea of slanting wells. The case is being tried in superior court, Santa Ana. Substitute Oranges For Feet, Presto! Fluoroscope Shows Granulation, Worms Science has again come to the aid of agriculture, this time with the fluoroscope. Announcement of the news is made at the state department of agriculture. Without particularly serious intent at the time, County Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Tubbs, of Santa Ana, Orange county, suggested that the fluoroscope might be used to detect oranges that had granulated to the extent that they failed to conform to California's citrus fruit standards. That night Tubbs thought more seriously about the possibilities of the idea he had suggested somewhat in fun. He decided to try it out. With one of his agricultural inspectors, he went to a shoe store where a fluoroscope was used in studying the alignment of bones in the feet of the customers. Instead of feet, they substituted oranges which had perfect exteriors, but which were suspected of granulation. One of the oranges showed up clearly as granulated. The other was good. The fluoroscope is being considered in fruit standardization work, for Tubbs has pointed out that if the fluoroscope will show a granulated orange it might also show a worm in an apple. S. S. Rogers, chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization, state department of agriculture, said that the results growing out of the jesby Tubbs might prove of very great value to agriculture not only in California but elsewhere. FIVE-INCH RAIN PROVES BENEFIT TO COUNTY; LITTLE DAMAGE DONE AS LOS ALAMITOS UNDER WATER Several Storms of Comparable Downpour Recorded in Anaheim, Notably In 1927; Slight Damage Done by Erosin In Foothill Regions, But Run-off Very Slight; Overflow Hurts Coast Orange county stayed at home New Year's, looked out the window and saw a five-inch downpour soak into Mother Earth, then settled back to comfortable routine this week, grateful that the storm over the week-end did not turn into the catastrophe which swept through Montrose, Tujunga, La Crescenta, Glendale, Alhambra, San Gabriel and territory south, demanding a toll of 50 lives. Old Timers scratched their heads over the 12-inch cloudburst which spread in a fan-shape above the Los Angeles metropolitan area, but could remember nothing of comparable intensity or damage. In Orange county, however, several previous storms equalled the one which greeted 1934, bringing five or more inches of rain within a 48-to-72 hour period. Rainfall in Anaheim Saturday morning totaled just .07 of an inch. In the 24 hours till 9:30 Sunday, 2.19 inches fell, and during Sunday and Sunday night 2.93 inches were added to the total, making 5.19 inches for the storm. Very little run-off was evident in this district, or, for that matter, throughout the county. Several places near the foothills, like Olive, Villa Park and Yorba Linda, reported some damage from erosion as small torrents to toward the flat country, but even in those RENAME PEAK IN HONOR OF JUDGE J.

Very little run-off was evident in this district, or, for that matter, throughout the county. Several places near the foothills, like Olive, Villa Park and Yorba Linda, reported some damage from erosion as small torrents tore toward the flat country, but even in those areas benefits from rainfall vastly exceeded any damage done. Throughout the county, rainfall was heavy for the storm. Fullerton received a total of 6.08 inches; Placentia 6.31 inches; Yorba Linda 5.44 inches; Santa Ana 4.67 inches; Capistrano 5.13 inches; Laguna Beach 4.18 inches; Huntington Beach 3.81 inches; Newport Beach 3.25 inches; Buena Park 4.92 inches; Brea 4.22 inches; Santiago Dam 6.32 inches; Orange 6.44 inches; Villa Park 7.09 inches; and Olive, 5.74 inches. Anaheim's total rainfall for the season reaches 7.53 inches, as compared with 2.15 inches last year at this time. The same relative proportion, sometimes reaching four times as much, is recorded this year over last in practically all Orange county cities. The only storm of comparable velocity in recent years was in the 1926-27 period, when on February 11,.35 inches of rain fell. The next day there was just a drizzle,.08 inches, but on the 14th old Jupiter Pluvius began in earnest with a downpour of 2 inches. The next day witnessed 1.60 inches more, and on the following day, Feb. 16, 2.63 inches fell. This tapered off to .02 inches on Feb. 17, making a total of 6.68 inches for the storm, exceeding this week's downpour by 1.49 inches. Something of a record for a 24-hour rainfall was established on April 6, 1926, when 3.92 inches fell, with rain in the three succeeding days bringing the storms total to 5.04 inches. Overflow from the Los Angeles area for a time threatened serious damage and even life in the north coast region of Orange county. Hurry calls for boats were sent from Los Alamitos district, where flood waters from breaks in the San Gabriel river and Coyote creek covered the streets and in places reached a depth of three to five feet. The sheriffs office rushed two boats secured from Newport, and plans were laid to rush boats from the Orange County park to that district should it become necessary. Deputy Sheriffs E. R. Perry, Arthur Eells and L. H. Nicholson rushed to the aid of Los Alamitos citizens, but found their services not needed. Water flooded the streets throughout Monday, but cleared away toward night. Sugarloaf Name Changed Out of Respect to Orange County's Best Known Forty-niner Dignified Sugarloaf Peak, which thrusts its head skyward proudly to survey the richest agricultural area of California, now officially boasts the name of "J. E. Pleasants Peak." This honor to Judge J. E. Pleasants, Orange county's best known '49'er, was conferred by federal officials at Washington D.C. at the request of the Orange County Historical Society, which last week received confirmation of the change of name. The proposal to rename a peak in honor of Judge Pleasants originated with Terry E. Stephenson of Santa Ana, well known historian of the county and postmaster at the county seat. J. E. Pleasants Peak is located three miles south of Santa Ana canyon proper, and at the head of Ladd canyon. Since local residents can remember, it has been known as Sugarloaf Peak. Judge and Mrs. Pleasants three years ago compiled a three-volume history of Orange county. Thirty-odd years ago, when horse racing was a popular sport in Southern California, Mr. Pleasants became a well known judge of horse races. This reputation brought him the nickname of "Judge." When but 10 years of age, and in the year 1849, Judge Pleasants came to California with his father, a member of an ox caravan from Missouri. Seven years later Young Pleasants went to Los Angeles, and in 1860 settled in Santiago canyon, Orange county, where he has resided since—73 years. He has lived in the county longer than any other person on record. Judging horse races, however, was only one of the sports enjoyed by the distinguished Orange county citizen. At 94 years of age, he looks back upon a busy life, in which some of the episodes included roping of a grizzly bear, fighting outlaws and chasing horse thieves. August Eltiste Is Re-elected Manager August Eltiste of Anaheim is serving his third term as general manager of the M. Eltiste & Co., Inc., and the Eltiste-Land Corporation, Ltd., as a result of election of officers held late last week. Mr. Eltiste also is president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. CWA Workers Not To Get Free Food August Eltiste of Anaheim is serving his third term as general manager of the M. Eltiste & Co., Inc., and the Eltiste-Land Corporation, Ltd., as a result of election of officers held late last week. Mr. Eltiste also is president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. CWA Workers Not To Get Free Food CWA workers will not be allowed to receive food distributed by the federal emergency relief administration under new rulings received by Byron Curry, county welfare officer, he announced Tuesday. New food supplies were expected during the latter part of the week. New Rulings For Injured CWA Men Now that the Civic Works Administration is well started in Orange county, with some 2500 men working, changes are being made almost daily to aid the men in their work. The latest change, according to Robert Ramsey, county administrator, allows injured workers to be sent to the nearest physician, or to call the man's family physician if he so desires. When the CWA was started, 4,000 doctors in the United States were designated to care for the injured on the various jobs. Only four of these were in Orange county. Today any reputable physician in private practice can be called. All doctors when they receive their first CWA case, are asked to immediately report it to Tony Comito, in charge of compensation and medical attention. Hill Building, Santa Ana, so that the proper government forms can be sent to the doctor. The men, when they appear for treatment will have a government request with them, furnished by their foreman at the time of the injury, Comito pointed out.
