Warns Public To Weigh All Goods Bought at Door Lists Short-Weight Practices of Many Itinerant Vendors; Get License Number When buying from peddlers, unless the buyer is acquainted with them, it is a wise practice for the buyer to weigh all commodities bought from the itinerant vendors. J. S. Casey, chief of the division of weights and measures, state department of agriculture, suggested in his annual report to State Director of Agriculture A. A. Brock. Casey marshaled an imposing array of figures to show that constant vigilance is required to prevent widespread short-weight practices and other violations of the state laws as regards weights, measures and standards. Concerning the peddlers, he said: "These peddlers are often transients—here today, gone tomorrow. Observe his vehicle license number, write it down, to assist the authorities in case an investigation is requested." Other excerpts from his report follow: "Always purchase your fruits and vegetables by number, weight or standard measures, never merely by the basket. Frequently these commodities are repacked by the merchant. A campaign extending throughout the fruit season has netted this office many baskets with false bottoms, thereby making those containers appear that they contain more than they really do. In every case these offenders were heavily fined after warning. In purchasing poultry, do not accept the weight as sometimes marked on the birds, but insist upon a reweighing in your presence. In the purchase of meat, insist that all trim-" State's Oil Suit Again Postponed By stipulation Monday, the hearing on a restraining order filed by the state against Milroy Oil company of Huntington Beach to show cause why its well should not be prevented from beginning production, was postponed till February 26. The court also delayed decision on a petition to correct records of the last hearing till next Monday. The state contends that the Milroy company began drilling its well after the edict of Finance Director Roland Vandegrift that no more wells should be drilled adjoining the state-owned tidelands oil pool, from which the Standard Oil company of California is drawing oil through 17 wells, and several independents through whipstocking, recently have dipped into the same vast "black gold" resources. The court actions by the state are all against the independents, who charge that the Standard Oil company fostered the plan to get the state to demand royalties from the "little men" and let the Standard continue unmolested.

King, Hemat editor, former member of the state board of education, who served for three successive terms as president of the California News-paper Publishers association, was one of the chief speakers at the annual dinner given last week in honor of the members of that organization by the national orange show officials, at the Arrowhead Springs Hotel, San Bernardino. In his address Mr. King paid tribute to the show and to the California news-paper men who contribute largely to the success of the annual citrus classic. “Community events such as the national orange show have been the most effective type of advertising Southern California has received, and much of the growth of this favored land is traceable to the faith and courage of the people of the various cities in carrying forward these idealistic pictures of California’s industrial and agricultural importance,” said Mr. King. “In the development of these expositions the newspaper has given generously of news stories and editorial comment. There has been no thought of capitalizing the national orange show or the other similar events from the standpoint of the cash register, and newspaper space has been given with the single thought that their success contributes to the greater glory of the commonwealth, in which all of us are stockholders. “In cost of production, and in the concept of beauty and in the appeal to all people, the national orange show is undoubtedly California’s major presentation, and the newspaper publishers from every part of the state join in felicitations to the management and to the city of San Bernardino. The orange show has endured the stress of a quarter century, and each year it comes back to us more beautiful and more representative of the great citrus industry. In this success the newspapers feel that they have had a part, and are glad to continue their service to a worthy cause.” ECONOMY RECIPE Rabbit Stew: Cut one or two rabbits into joints; lay them in cold water for an hour.

Local Folk Visit Big Flood Areas Tour Starts at Devil's Dam, Pasadena, for Study of Burned District, Flood Causes A group of Orange county people recently joined with similar groups all of the southern counties to visit the burned area in Montrose and La Canada. Objectives in making the tour were to observe the affect of removal of protective brush and mulch cover, followed by rains, and to learn how to best prevent their repetition in the future. There were 125 people in the tour, which started at the Devil's Gate dam, Pasadena, thence over motorways constructed by the forest service for fire protection purposes to the top of Mt. Lukens. From this vantage point a perspective of the watershed lying to the north of Tujuna and Montrose could be seen. It was this area of which 5000 acres were burned over in what is known as the La Crescenta fire. Returning by the same route, the group were then directed across the alluvial fan near the mouths of the canyons draining the area, which was seen from above. It was on this fan formed from countless floods washing material down from the mountains that was subdivided and built upon. There were seven such canyons in this district leading down from the mountains. With the burning off of the protective cover, which tended to retain the soil and retard the water flow, both soil and water were discharged upon the residential property below in destructive amounts. Some might have the impression that there was a cloudburst in the region affected. However, recording rain guages indicated a rainfall of not in excess of an inch per hour during the storm.

"I am not looking for any glory in the office but my experience has taught me that nothing can be done well without teamwork," the former baseball player said.
