Those selected from Anaheim are Jack Fitzgerald and Elwood Edwin Nutt. The former is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John N. Fitzgerald of 128 S.

It pledges citrus growers a constructive, economical management. Regret Cancellation In the formal statement issued by the president and secretary-manager of the organization the exchange expressed its regret in the action of the California Fruit Growers association in cancelling its contract with the Central Orange County Citrus exchange, "We appreciate," the statement said, "that it was the result of the outstanding record made by the two member associations of this district exchange." For reasons we do not understand and therefore cannot explain except that our associations were shipping all fruit possible under the regulation established, state officials were critical of our grading policy and extended their inspection of both houses to the extent that it appeared to be persecution rather than prosecution." Mathis and Lawrence pointed out that this rigid inspection was carried on in spite of the fact that of some 350 cars shipped by the two associations, not one single complaint was received from federal inspectors or the trade. Criticize Exchange The Central Orange County Citrus exchange accepted the action of the larger organization, the statement said, even though it disagreed with that action from the legal, moral and ethical standpoint. The statement said, "We are of the opinion that their action does not reflect the true cooperative spirit or principles advocated so strenuously by this large and powerful co-operative. It has convinced us that there is a place for a specialized sales organization which would truly serve the valencia orange growers of Orange county."

He also has been a student this fall at Rutherford, having graduated from Elsinore academy last June. Examinations were given last November 6 for youths seeking the chance for the final entrance examinations. At that time Congressman Sheppard declared, "In my opinion political interference has no place in deciding the future of these boys whose life ambition has been to attend the military or naval academies." As the result the congressman did not use the usual method of making direct appointments, but had all youths interested take the first examinations.
