Many Kiddies At Free Show Sat.
Many Kiddies At Free Show Sat.
Starting out with a happy, chattering crowd of Kiddies, the egg hunt sponsored by the Merchants and Manufacturers Association was brought to a very successful conclusion last Saturday.
The free show held at the Fox theater had a lineup of "patrons" as early as 8:30 and any grownup that tried to "chisel" in were made to understand that 12 years was the limit—even to the extent that some of the employees of the theater had to show a reason for entering the lobby. The "Hey this is the kids only" greeted all and sundry that tried to crash the gate.
As the kiddies left the show they were handed an Easter egg and then told to assemble at the park where the rules of the hunt would be explained to them. This they did and when the committee had finished the hunt was on for the balance of the afternoon.
It is estimated that some 500 to 600 kiddies participated in the show and hunt.

The fight, which is a factional proposition, according to reports, did not terminate with the defeat, but rather was given a new start by the close returns.
Both factions are making a solicitation of voters and each claim they are signing up new registrations that will enable their side to win should another election be held.
According to the report, the proponents of the bond issue state they have registered an additional 50 votes in favor of the issue which would provide a 600-capacity auditorium and four new class rooms for the Cypress school.
While no definite date has been set for the election it is said that the board will call the election about May 24th, the date to be set at the board meeting in the first part of May.

ORANGE EXPORTS FROM ANAHEIM
FAR AHEAD OF THOSE LAST YEAR
A. H. Kirchmann, manager of the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange, announced this week that the Valencia export shipments from the Anaheim district were far ahead of those of last year. He stated that while no shipments were made before May 1 last year that the houses operating under the exchange this year will have shipped 100 cars to foreign markets by May 1.
Under the prorate Central California is doing the heaviest shipping for domestic consumption, he said. However the domestic market is being opened for local houses. Last week a few boxes were allotted to Anaheim. These allotments will gradually increase he said until the navels are all off the markets and then valencia shipments will increase materially. It is expected that domestic shipments will reach the seasonal average sometime in the middle of May.
LEMON CONTROL
TO START SOON
The lemon crop of the state was placed under control of the State Agricultural Prorate Commission last Friday. Marketing of the current crop will start as soon as the program committee, named by A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana,
President of the commission, can meet, Edson Abel, Secretary of the commission, announced.
The commission has conducted a hearing for the past several days on petition of growers representing about 85 per cent of the crop, about 3900 growers, seeking such control as a means of stabilizing the industry. Representatives of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, which ten years ago started proration of shipments, said that conditions today demand da State-wide program to include growers not exchange members. An unusually large crop, new groves coming into bearing and other factors made it impossible for the exchange to bear the burden of proration of shipments in the face of heavy independent grower marketing. Lemon prices today are at the lowest point in many years. Throughout the depression of the past few years lemons have maintained an average yearly profit.
The committee named by McFadden consists of T. H. Powell, H. H. Warner, and J. H. CcClellan of Los Angeles, C. P. Foster of Santa Paula, L. R. Bradbury of Upland, R. L. Millits of Corona and F. G. Webber of Lamanda Park.
Acreage coming under the entire State is covered by the agreement, with the bulk in this vicinity.

C. OF C. MEMBERS VOTE APPROVAL RACING COURSE
The post card vote taken last week by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce showed a three to one poll in favor of the race track to be established at Buena Park. Acting on these instructions, Secretary George Reid has sent formal notice of the approval to the state racing commission.

DEATHS CAUSED BY ACCIDENTS IN ORANGE COUNTY ON DECREASE
While accidental deaths increased in California during 1934, there was a decrease in such fatalities in Orange county, where the total dropped from 133 in 1933 to an even 100 in 1934, according to statistics revealed this week by Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer.
In the state as a whole, according to figures of the state board of health, there were 5566 accidental deaths in 1934, as compared to 5153 in 1933.
The most conspicuous increase, as expected, was in the deaths resulting from motor vehicle accidents, which jumped from 2403 in 1933 to 2798 in 1934.
Most of these fatalities were due to collisions, which accounted for 959 deaths of pedestrians, 295 were individuals 65 years of age or over, while 29 were under four years of age.
Among the motor vehicle deaths were 1456 of persons, who were gainfully employed at the time of the accident, as compared to 1328 such individuals killed in 1933.
Increases of deaths in the occupational groups were smaller than in traffic cases, the report shows. Out of 414 deaths due to occupational causes in 1934, 134 occurred in trades, 75 in agriculture, 54 in construction, and 41 in mining and quarrying.
Accidents in the homes also caused more deaths last year, as well as did public accidents not involving motor vehicles. More than half of the deaths due to accidents in the homes were attributable to falls. There were 662 such deaths, 505 of which were of individuals 65 years of age or over. There were 212 deaths last year due to conagrations, burns, and explosions, and 130 were due to poisoning, gas, and similar causes.
Aviation apparently became more safe last year, deaths due to air accidents dropping from 76 in 1933 to 53 in 1934.
Drownings increased, there being 333 in 1934 and 269 in 1933, in the state. In Orange county there were seven drownings each year. In the state total more than half were individuals more than 25 years of age.
