Packing Houses To Start Work About April 19 Early Shipments of Fruit To Be light; Co-op, Opens May 1 Shipping of valencia oranges from Anaheim is expected to start about April 19, it was declared this morning by C. H. Lawrence, secretary-manager of the Central Orange County Citrus Fruit exchange. Activity at that time will be light, Lawrence declared, with more intensive work expected to start shortly after May 1. The amount of packing and shipping will depend largely upon the supply of navels remaining to be shipped and the demand for valencias. An early date for the start of the valencia season was set because of the heavy losses suffered by growers in Tulare county, the exchange manager declared. Estimates on the size of the crop are now being made but no definite figures will be available for several days. There is no way of forecasting the probable price of the fruit, Lawrence said, but officials are hoping for a good season. Navel prices, it was pointed out, have been good. Conducts School Miss Nancy Baker (above) will conduct the three-day cooking school sponsored by the Gazette on April 21, 22 and 23.

Estimates on the size of the crop are now being made but no definite figures will be available for several days. There is no way of forecasting the probable price of the fruit, Lawrence said, but officials are hoping for a good season. Navel prices, it was pointed out, have been good. Florida Crop Big The Florida valencia crop is bigger this year than last, Lawrence said, and fruit will probably be shipped from that state until June. The Anaheim Cooperative Orange association, a member of the Mutual Orange Distributors, does not expect to start its valencia season before May 1, H. W. Pierce, manager of the house, said today. No definite plans for the season have yet been made by the association and will probably not be made until more is known of the condition of the fruit and the market. State inspection of fruit since the frost has been rigid and marketing concerns expressed the hope that it will continue to be so. A minimum of frost-damaged fruit on the market will tend to keep prices at a higher level and increase the demand, it was pointed out. Rotary Speaker Offers History A brief review of world history from 5000 B. C. to the present time was given by W. Harold Lang at the meeting of the Anaheim Rotary club last Monday noon. Lang is a member of the club.

George Repertoire pertoire are dozens of NEWSPAPERMEN VISIT ORANGE COUNTY'S HOSPITAL AND FARM Orange county has one of the finest county hospitals in the nation. Such was the opinion formed by a group of newspaper men who inspected the plant last Monday evening and their opinion was borne out by statistics and information presented to them by Supervisor Harry D. Riley in a talk he gave during the dinner following the tour. The newspapermen were favorably impressed by every feature of the hospital. Everything was clean and orderly and the patients showed signs of a cheerfulness hardly expected to be found in a group of suffering people. Inspection was made of all wards, laboratories, kitchens, dinners rooms and living quarters. Outstanding among the wards were those for tuberculosis patients and the special quarters for the nurses convalescing from polio attacks. Has Highest Rating The hospital has a rating of Class A, Riley said, the highest obtainable for a hospital. Because of the rating a training school for nurses is maintained. One hundred forty-nine nurses have completed their courses here. Another outstanding feature of the institution is that included on the medical staff are nine of the ten medical men of the county who hold the highest degrees that may be issued to physicians and surgeons, the supervisor declared. For that reason medical schools throughout the nation each year send internes to the county hospital for their fifth year of training. Eight new internes are taken yearly. Built In 1914 The hospital was built in 1914 at a cost of approximately $60,000. At the present time the value of the buildings is more than $500,-000 and the equipment now in use has a value of more than $200,000. All this was obtained without a bond issue. Riley pointed out.

Snow announced today. The county is caring for nearly 10 per cent of its population 65 years of age or older, according to the most recent estimate. However, figures for the entire state show that this figure is five percent lower than the average for the state as a whole. County Pays $8,500 Of the total of $31,000 needed for the past month the county contributes $8,500, the state's share is $8,500, and the federal government provides $14,000 under the Social Security act, according to Snow's statement. Files in the welfare department office reveal that most cases are receiving aid because of savings lost during the depression or due to circumstances beyond their control. 109 Given Aid In order to be eligible for benefits under the Old Age Security act, Snow said, an applicant must prove his citizenship in the United States, his residence in the state, and his age. He must also establish his need within the meaning of the legislation. In Anaheim and vicinity there are 109 persons receiving state aid under the terms of the act, welfare department figures show.

At the present time the value of the buildings is more than $500,-000 and the equipment now in use has a value of more than $200,000. All this was obtained without a bond issue. Riley pointed out. The hospital and farm covers an area of 72 acres of which 50 are tillable. A large portion of the farm is planted to bearing orange trees which provide a small income. A total of 32,000 patients were treated at the hospital last year, an increase of five percent over 1935. Riley said. The approximate net cost of operation last year was $155,000, or an average of about $1.60 per patient. Food cost $25,000. There were 386,000 meals served during the year at a cost of slightly more than 10 cents per meal, which included the food, cooking and service expenses. The food alone cost six cents per meal. There were 967 surgical operations performed last year. Riley declared, and 3,689 X-ray examinations given. At the present time there are 109 patients in the tuberculosis wards, which have a capacity of 120 persons. Service Extensive Riley pointed out that the county hospital has the only tuberculosis, physicopathic and contagious disease wards in the county and for that reason any person suffering from any of those afflictions are admitted to the hospital for treatment. Persons financially able to pay for such treatment do so, the supervisor declared. Thirty-five percent of the patients at the hospital are Mexicans, while the percentage of Mexican population in the county is about 15. In the tuberculosis ward, however, the Mexican percentage is higher. The dinner served to the newspapermen was excellent but not fancy and it was pointed out that no special effort was made to provide the visitors with food or service different from that rendered daily to the patients.

Survey Planned at Site of Dam Final Approval of Project Depends Upon Results Traffic Safety Talk Presented To Businessmen John R. Berryman Speaker at Meeting Today of Merchants Group Appalling as is the total of deaths from traffic, it is less than the number killed by accidents in the home, John R. Berryman, chief claims attorney for the Automobile Club of Southern California, told members of the Anaheim Merchants association at the meeting of the group this morning at the Marigold cafe. The speaker also pointed out that the percentage of increase in fatal accidents in 1936 over 1935 was only four percent, far less than the percentage of increase in home accident fatalities and in industrial mishaps that caused loss of life. Berryman based his remarks on the contention that automobile fatalities, numerous as they are, are not extremely excessive in comparison to the amount of miles driven yearly. There is only one fatal mishap in more than six million miles of driving, he declared. Motorists Not Morons Most motorists, Berryman declared, are good citizens. They are not morons nor are they will- Survey Planned at Site of Dam Final Approval of Project Depends Upon Results of Investigation Procedure leading up to a county-wide bond election to provide about $2,000,000 to purchase rights-of-way and thereby clear the way for carrying out by the federal government of a flood control project for Orange county advanced one step last week end when it was announced by the war department that tentative approval had been given of plans for the Prado reservoir, major unit of the $13,000,000 program. Final approval, it was said by an official spokesman, would not be given until after more detailed investigations had been made at the reservoir site. Wyman on Job This detailed information is expected to be provided by Major Theo. Wyman; Jr., Southern California divisional army engineer, and Col. John J. Klingman, Southern Pacific divisional engineer, both of whom are in Washington to lay details of the Orange county project before the army board of engineers. Dispatches from Washington said the Orange county project was one of several authorized for construction in the 1936 omnibus control act on the condition that no work be undertaken until completion of further and detailed investigation by the war department. Sustained by Board The district engineer at Los Angeles recently recommended approval of the project plans, but the division engineer advocated a more comprehensive study of the dam site and was sustained by the board, the Washington report said. The news from Washington showed progress in plans to launch construction work on the project, on which the government plans to spend $13,000,000. Orange county will be affected to provide industrial mishaps that caused loss of life. Berryman based his remarks on the contention that automobile fatalities, numerous as they are, are not extremely excessive in comparison to the amount of miles driven yearly. There is only one fatal mishap in more than six million miles of driving, he declared. Motorists Not Morons Most motorists, Berryman declared, are good citizens. They are not morons nor are they willful killers. However, everyone at times is forgetful and thoughtless, and these human shortcomings are responsible for many accidents. Elimination of this factor is virtually impossible, he said. The total number of lives lost each year in automobile accidents is not so great as to offset the social and economic advancements caused by the automobile. Berryman believes. The automobile has brought many advantages to the individual which they otherwise would not have had, he declared. Engineering advancement, both in construction of highways and illumination of roads and automobiles, is essential if the total number of traffic accidents is to be lessened, the speaker said. Legislation will not curb mishaps effectively, he added. Illumination Faulty Lights on automobiles have not improved in the same ratio as other features of the cars. Insufficient amount of illumination is provided in automobiles and the present illumination methods are bad as they cause glare to oncoming drivers. This is one fault which must be corrected if accidents are to be reduced. Berryman declared. Illumination of highways is also insufficient, he said. Steps are being taken to provide better visibility on the boulevards and streets, but there is still room for much advancement. Progress has been made in the construction of highways, but boulevards are still inadequate. Lane separation by some method more effective than the present white lines is needed to eliminate head on accidents, the speaker said. He also urged that through highways be established for fast traffic and that they be used for that purpose alone. Education Needed. Safety education is another important factor in the elimination between Anaheim and Norwalk has been completed, while work is under construction through Downey at the present time. Manchester now provided a highway with a minimum of three lanes directly into Los Angeles and continuing west to Playa del Rey, a few miles beyond Inglewood. Jury Convicts Fruit Shippers Pronouncement of judgment against S. Scharlin and H. W. Choll, convicted Monday in the anaheim justice court of shipping crystallized fruit, has been continued from April 1 to April 7 at the request of the defendants. The two men were found guilty by a jury. Miss Jeannette Scharlin, attorney for the defendants, gave oral notice of intention to appeal. Charges against the Western Fruit Growers, Inc., Ben Betz and Alex Jones on similar charges were dismissed. They face similar charges in another case pending before the court, however. Man Pays Fine for Driving Intoxicated J. W. Newman of Long Beach yesterday paid a fine of $50 and had his operator's licenses suspended after pleading guilty before Judge Charles Kuchel to a charge of driving while intoxicated. Newman was arrested last Thursday evening by highway patrolmen and Anaheim police at Lincoln and Manchester boulevard after he was alleged to have truck another car. The district engineer at Los Angeles recently recommended approval of the project plans, but the division engineer advocated a more comprehensive study of the dam site and was sustained by the board, the Washington report said. The news from Washington showed progress in plans to launch construction work on the project, on which the government plans to spend $13,000,000. Orange county will be expected to provide about $2,000,000 for purchase of rights of way. Building Permit Totals Increase Building permit valuations for the month of March again exceed those for the same month last year, it was reported today by R. Nyboe, building inspector. Twenty-seven permits were granted last month, totaling $20,648. During March, 1936, 16 permits were issued having a valuation of $16,095. The total for the first three months of this year is $149,703 compared to $53,512 for the same period in 1936. Five permits were issued last week, having a total valuation of $7,425. One was for a $4,000 dwelling to be built by William F. Chamberlin at 555 S. Citron street. RADIO STOLEN An automobile radio was stolen from John H. Trezise's car last Thursday evening as it was parked on North Claudina street, it was reported to Anaheim police. Trezise lives in Fullerton. Construction of highways, but boulevards are still inadequate: Lane separation by some method more effective than the present white lines is needed to eliminate head on accidents, the speaker said. He also urged that through highways be established for fast traffic and that they be used for that purpose alone. Education Needed. Safety education is another important factor in the elimination of highway crashes, the speaker said, pointing to the low number of children killed in Los Angeles in comparison to other metropolitan areas. This, he said, is due to the extensive educational campaigns carried on in schools of Los Angeles. Captain Henry Meehan of the California highway patrol, Chief of Police James M. Pearson of Fullerton, and Police Chief James S. Bouldin of Anaheim, were guests at the meeting and each spoke briefly. Everett Cone was chairman of the meeting and the speaker, who was obtained by A. P. M. Brown, was introduced by George Holden. Drunk Driver Fails to Pay Fine, Jailed Aaron Montano, 20, Placentia ranch worker, was ordered to pay a fine of $100 or spend 50 days in the county jail when he pleaded guilty before Judge Frank Tausch Monday to a charge of driving while intoxicated. Montano was arrested at 4 o'clock Sunday morning. The temporary operator's license issued him last month had also expired. The man was unable to pay the fine and was committed to the county jail.
