MORE ABOUT Citrus Survey (Continued from Page 1) earning capacity of the pickers. Many men are well satisfied to average $12 to $15 a week and let the future take care of itself. Recall Demands The survey also discloses that the various houses have paid considerable attention to demands made by strikers two years ago. A vast majority of the houses furnish free transportation to and from work. A few do not, sometimes because the workers themselves prefer to supply their own transportation. It all depends on where the homes of the workers are located with reference to the plant. Most plants furnish free picking equipment, sacks and clippers. Most of them charge a deposit on these items. The deposit is paid back at the end of the season. In some cases the worker is asked to pay a part of the value of the equipment, with the house standing the rest of the cost. Size picking presents another condition that is being met. It is encountered usually at the start of the season, after which the picker is turned loose in the grove and asked to pick clean. Where the pick is sized a system coming into general use it to pay a flat day base wage, with extra money on a per box for all over a certain quantity. It is a satisfactory arrangement. Standardize Rates A general attempt to set rates so that the picker can earn a forty cent rate is clearly discernible. That figure is recognized as standard and rates per field box are based upon it. Horse Show Will Staged Two Days All is in readiness for the opening of the second annual Orange County Charity horse show, sponsored by the Assistance League of Santa Ana, to be held in the municipal bowl of that city Saturday and Sunday. A record number of entries have been received at the show's headquarters. Two shows will be given Saturday and one Sunday. A parade at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon will open the two-day event, with the first show scheduled for 2 o'clock. The Saturday evening event will start at 7:30 o'clock. Preston Foster has been engaged to act as master of ceremonies for the Saturday afternoon show. Polo games are also scheduled during the two days. Numerous Orange county owners of show horses will have their animals in the two-day event; it was announced. MORE ABOUT City Council (Continued from Page 1) Charles H. Mannr. They will serve an additional three years. The council passed a resolution providing for the allocation to West Santa Ana street of the entire amount of the gas tax funds apportioned to streets of major importance for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, together with the unprogrammed balance of revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938. Payment has been made from the general fund for the improvement work done on Pollack Band Sign BEN POLLACK Hailed as one of the outstanding swing bands in the country to Ben Pollack and his orchestra with the glamorous Peegee Gay will move into Huntington Dance pavilion on Saturday May 28, to blend their splendid music with the beautiful roundings of the blue Pacific. The Pollack band, which enjoyed the distinction of playing music for the smart sets of living hotels and night clubs all over the country, has been engaged two nights only. Besides modern American music clever "swingcapation," they rumbas and tangos for those like the Latin type of music. Peegee Gayle, the featured collector, will offer ballads and songs with the accompaniment Ben Pollack's orchestra. The spacious floor of the Standardize Rates A general attempt to set rates so that the picker can earn a forty cent rate is clearly discernible. That figure is recognized as standard and rates per field box are based upon it. The biggest problem in the industry is that of providing the picker with steady employment. The list of variables is extremely long. Weather, condition of the grove, whether the crop is light or heavy, the will of the worker to earn a maximum figure, all these and a dozen more items enter into the picture. Few houses maintain monthly average earnings records. One of these, from the south end of the county, showed an average earning for a crew of twenty men in May of last year of $86.31 per man. For August the same crew earned $83.61 per man. Earnings fall very sharply at the close of the season. Most of the crop is then picked and the men are merely cleaning up the groves. The condition holds for from two to three weeks. Somewhat the same status prevails in the early part of the season for about the same period. But from early May until September the picker who really want to work can make good money. A striking feature of the survey is the uniformity of pay and conditions under which the men work. One or two of the sixteen houses revealed an average earning per hour of from thirty-seven to thirty-nine cents per hour. At least two houses showed their pickers earning fifty cents and above per hour. The figures were actual, taken at random from payroll sheets. There was nothing prearranged about the survey. A few houses have turned to white labor and have one or more such crews in the field. Results have been surprisingly good. Most of the men on these crews are dust bowl refugees.

Payment has been made from the general fund for the improvement work done on Santa Ana street and funds received from the state will be used to reimburse the general fund. Accept Easement A second resolution was passed accepting an easement deed from the Community Industrial Land company for property through which the extension of North Olive street will pass. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood reported that 1100 feet of the new vitrified clay pipe line on section two of the joint outfall sewer has been laid and that a crew of 125 men are working on the project. The council studied models of traffic signals and discussed the problem at some length, but no definite action was taken. An application to operate a public dance hall at 241 W. Center street was denied. year-round employment, is also evident. Pickers in Orange county will average much better wages than navel pickers. Lemon pickers tend to get a lower wage than valencia pickers, but are compensated in that their employment is more nearly on a year round basis. Fair Wages Where such totals are available, it is shown that the average valencia picker earns from $300 to $550 for his season's work. In many cases one or more are employed from the same family. Most of the pickers supplement their seasonal earnings with other harvest work. Some follow the season from one locality to the other. Others turn to walnuts and field crops. In any case the money paid the pickers represents a near top that can be paid by the industry if the grower is to receive anything like a return on his heavy investment, industry leaders assert.

MORE ABOUT Parking Lots (Ctoninued from Page 1) taken upon the suggestion that merchants validate parking tickets for customers who have made purchases above $1. The chamber of commerce is leaving that matter to S.A. McNay, who has leased the lots and will operate them himself. Numerous business men have indicated their willingness to cooperate in the plan if it is adopted. Aid to Shoppers "Opening of the parking lots is not a move to compel shoppers to pay for the privilege of parking downtown, but rather a plan to provide them more facilities on the streets," L. C. Herron, com- The Choice of Discriminating TRAVELERS THE Streamliners "CITY OF LOS ANGELES" Aid to Shoppers "Opening of the parking lots is not a move to compel shoppers to pay for the privilege of parking downtown, but rather a plan to provide them more facilities on the streets," L. C. Herron, committee chairman, said. "Taking 240 or more autos off the streets for the entire day means facilities for about four times that many machines as the turnover will be fairly rapid." Monthly parking tickets, good on all three lots, were sold for $1 a month. McNay has established a rate of five cents for 30 minutes, 10 cents for two hours and 15 cents for all day to those who wish that type of service. Members of the chamber committee who worked on the plan in addition to Herron were August Schumacher, Henry Adams, George Holden, Herbert Eldred, Fred Clough and E. P. Hapgood.
