April's Business Review Brighter Building activity in California continued to show improvement during April, according to the Business Review for that month just published by the Bank of America. Permits issued in 32 representative cities of the state were valued at $15,911,223, a gain of 9.9 per cent over March, although still 6.8 per cent below the high level of April, 1937. Residential building in California during April was at its best level since May, 1937, according to the review. Retail sales in California department and apparel stores improved from March to April. The index advanced from 94 per cent of the 1923-25 average in March to 96 per cent in April. The most favorable sales results were observed in the agricultural sections of the state. Employment in California's major manufacturing industries rose slightly in April as compared with March. The number of employees increased 1.8 per cent, total weekly payrolls were up 3.3 per cent, and average employee earnings gained 1.4 per cent. This was less than the usual seasonal increase, however. Bank of America's preliminary index of far western business for April stood at 68.7 per cent of its computed normal trend value. This is a decline of only 1.2 per cent from the revised March index and is about one-half the percentage decline from January to February to March. Analysis Completed on Production Costs of Orange County Valencia Last year the average cost of producing valencia oranges in Orange county was $265.15 per acre, according to a detailed cost analysis just completed by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg and reported to a group of citrus growers Tuesday at the farm bureau hall. The analysis is based on a study made by the extension service in cooperation with 60 valencia growers who operate typical orchards in the county. In breaking down these costs, Wahlberg showed that $32.86 per acre went to orchard labor, $32.56 per acre to harvesting costs, $65.51 per acre to materials such as water, fertilizer and pest control, $27.02 to taxes and miscellaneous costs, $6.48 to depreciation of equipment, and $100.72 to interest on the investment. The average yield last year reported from these typical orchards, all over 10 years of age, was 171 boxes per acre, including all fruit on a packed basis. The average return to the grower was $1.62 per packed box all fruit, and the average cost was $1.55 per packed box all fruit. The analysis showed 15.4 per cent of the fruit classed as first grade, 10 percent second grade, 38.2 percent third or orchard run, and 36.4 percent culls. The low grades of the 1937 season was due to frost damage. Taking these production costs as averages for the 60,000 acres of bearing valencia orchards in Orange county, Wahlberg submits labor $1,951,600, water, fertile and pest control materials $3,960, equipment depreciation $3,800, and for use of capital investments and mortgages at five per cent $6,043,200. These figures say farm advisor, do not cover non-bearing or young orchards but are based on the mature ducing 60,000 acres only. When to these costs are added the packing house labor costs transportation costs it can be appreciated that the growth of the orange benefits the community in larger measure than individual grower himself. Avocado Growers Plan Field Tour Avocado growers of Orange county will assemble at La Hacienda road, north of La Hacienda and will proceed under the direction of Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg to several avocado orchards in the La Habra Heights district to study and observe irrigation, fertilizer and tree management. The H. B. Griswold orchard West street will be included in Elks To Install Speakers at Club The memory of the late Samuel Kraemer will be honored by the Anaheim Elks lodge through installation of a public address system in the clubhouse, it was decided this week. A bequest of $500 by Kraemer to the lodge will be applied on the purchase price. Reports of committee chairmen on the jubilee carnival to be given June 2, 3 and 4 reveal that progress is being made on all phases of the event. Mary Millerick, whose fashion show will be the feature on Thursday night, has announced that plans for that event are complete. RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR By R. F.

Edward D. (Ed) Marion, one of the oldest constables in Oradale county from a point of service a peace officer and constable the Anaheim township for 20 years, has announced his candidacy to succeed himself at the election on August 30. Marion began his career as peace officer in the capacity deputy constable under A. Wood who resigned in 1948. Marion was selected to succeed him and has been re-elected at election since that time. He has been a resident of Townsend club number one, Presbyterian church and is a 3 degree Mason. “If the office I hold means a thing to the voters it means service,” Marion said. “Service of type demanded is most complex and satisfactory only when based upon experience. “There is no egotism in statement that I have the experience, and that I have shown I give this great township the touch of service it requires. We re have more than 20,000 people the township I have served. The gled civil and criminal problems are bound to arise daily among many people. These problems must be handled according to rules set down by law. “四 full terms in office, four years as a deputy constable have taught me how to observe those rules in a way acceptable to the court and the people. Believe I am well justified in offering my candidacy upon basis of the service I have demonstrated I can give.” ANAHEIM GAZETTE Indian Beauty to Ride Hazel Lisalda, 15-year-old San Jacinto Indian girl who will ride in native costume at the second annual San Jacinto Rodeo and Horse Racing program Sunday and Monday, May 29-30.

Congressman Sheppard’s Program Of Flood Control Is Nearer Goal Congressman Harry R. Shepard's 12-point permanent flood upon completion of preliminary surveys it then becomes neces Congressman Sheppard’s Program Of Flood Control Is Nearer Goal Congressman Harry R. Sheppard’s 12-point permanent flood control program for San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties drew one step nearer its goal last week. The house of representatives last week passed the flood control bill which includes a $8,500,000 authorization for permanent flood control construction on the San Antonio and Chino creeks in San Bernardino county under supervision of the war department engineers. Sheppard’s 12-point program for flood control construction under the war department includes surveys and permanent construction on the Lower Santa Ana, Upper Santa Ana, Banning canyon, the Mohave river, Lytle creek, Waterman canyon, San Jacinto river, Bautiste creek, Cucamonga creek, Deer creek, San Antonio creek, Chino creek and the Whitewater river. “To obtain permanent flood control construction from the federal government through the war department requires four definite steps,” stated Sheppard. “First, legislation must be introduced and passed authorizing preliminary surveys. This we have accomplished on all of our streams and all preliminary surveys should be completed by August. Second, upon completion of preliminary surveys it then becomes necessary to introduce legislation to authorize construction. Third, following authorization by congress, final surveys and specifications must be completed under direction of the rivers and harbors board of the war department. Fourth, congressional appropriation of funds for construction is then the last step to be accomplished. “Our Lower Santa Ana project is in the process of the fourth step and funds for start of construction this summer are in the war department civil appropriations bill. “The war department completed their preliminary surveys of San Antonio and Chino creeks on May 5 and therefore it was possible to include these two streams in our present authorization bill. Final surveys and specifications will now be undertaken and by January of 1939 our fourth step, namely appropriations, will be possible. “It is my hope that by January or February of 1939 that all of our streams under survey at the present time will be authorized and that appropriations will be made possible in the 1939 war department civil appropriations bill. “I realize that this process seems to slow one but let us keep in mind that any program as its purpose the treatment of such a problem as flood control district requires careful preparation.” It is estimated that twelve-point flood program struction program gets up that it will absorb practically entire unemployed man now on WPA for a period one to two years.

Depot, Anaheim, Phone 2503 Depot at Los Angeles and Santa Ana Streets Summer Camp Is Planned By Club Leaders of 4-H clubs in Orange county are making plans for the annual summer camp for members. The camp this year will be held at Camp Radford in the San Bernardino mountains and will start on June 19 and continue through June 23. Eighty local boys and girls enjoyed camp last year with a similar number of club members from Riverside county. A joint camp for the two counties is planned again this year. A wide variety of activities for those attending is being planned, which will include the usual athletic games and swimming, all-day hikes, moving pictures, nature study, handwork in leather, tree and plant identification, and campfire programs. J. D. Rossier of Orange and Mrs. J. R. Swain of Buena Park will represent the club leaders in camp. Ross E. Crane and Miss Frances Liles of the agricultural extension service will have charge of the Orange county group. Irvine Park Liquor Prohibition Adopted County supervisors Tuesday adopted an ordinance prohibiting the sale, purchase, giving away or possession of liquor in Irvine park. It will become effective in 30 days. A restriction in the deed by which James Irvine donated the park to the county prevents sale Watchtower PARTISANSHIP, AND BI-PARTISANSHIP Years ago all public officials were elected as republicans or democrats. Even the mayor and councilmen ran on partisan tickets. In time city tickets, and later on, county tickets, were denatured and the partisanship removed. In theory they remain that way. But in the last county election four years ago, and in the supervisor election two years ago, some party politics crept in, and an increasing tendency was noted on the part of some candidates to claim support on the strength of their belonging to the dominant party. This year the indications of the same trend is noted in Orange county. We have two or three candidates already in the field who are inclined to claim credit and votes because of their party affiliations. It is possible there will be more of it before the campaigns are over. Another tendency in late years has been for candidates for partisan offices, legislative and state, to file on more than one party ticket. The practice has been rather demoralizing to party organization. As a matter of fact, it appeared that nobody cared much about party as long as he or his friend got the job. This year there is a notable change in attitude on the part of some of the common folks. A lot of men—and women—are making so bold as to say they will not support in their own party primary candidate who files on. Sequoia Park Roads Open; Snow Remains All roads to and within Sequoia National park are open and no chains are required, according to the National Automobile club. Visitors to the park will have the pleasure of motoring through foothills covered with luxuriant spring foliage and blossoms. In the park proper, snow is still heavy on the ground. The road to General Grant Tree and Grant Grove of Big Trees in General Grant National park, will be cleared of snow within the next week of ten days. It may be that "all is fair in love, war and politics," but in the end it probably will be best to stick to the rules. POLITICAL PRESS AGENT A TOTAL LOSS Newspaper publishers in Orange county (and perhaps other counties) are beginning to wonder when candidates for public office will wake up to the fact that money spent on a press agent, who writes biased “news” about his employer with the expectation that he will get it published free, is money thrown down the sewer. Few county officials or candidates see many county papers. Mostly they do not know whether “news” about them has been printed or not. They have assumed for some reason that anything written about them will be regarded as news and that editors will break their necks to get it in print. They further assume that propaganda more or less thinly disguised will be passed Irvine Park Liquor Prohibition Adopted County supervisors Tuesday adopted an ordinance prohibiting the sale, purchase, giving away or possession of liquor in Irvine park. It will become effective in 30 days. A restriction in the deed by which James Irvine donated the park to the county prevents sale of liquor there, but the other prohibitions could not be covered in such way. Annual Circulation of Bibles Revealed An annual circulation, throughout the world, of seven million copies the scriptures for the thirteenth successive year, is reported by the American Bible society. During 1937, the circulation, totaling 7,328,550 copies of bibles, testaments, and portions of the bible was in 197 languages and dialects, including different systems for the blind. Scriptures in 197 languages were circulated in the United States and in 149 languages by the society's 12 foreign agencies. In mind that any program that has as its purpose the permanent treatment of such a tremendous problem as flood control in our district requires careful study and preparation." It is estimated that when the twelve-point flood program construction program gets under way that it will absorb practically the entire unemployed man power now on WPA for a period of from one to two years. MUCH GO EAST to file on more than one party ticket. The practice has been rather demoralizing to party organization. As a matter of fact, it appeared that nobody cared much about party as long as he or his friend got the job. This year there is a notable change in attitude on the part of some of the common folks. A lot of men—and women—are making so bold as to say they will not support in their own party primary a candidate who files on the other party tickets. If the movement gains enough impetus it may put a stop to the bi-partisan candidacy idea. And it might be carried on to the point where the common folks will actively oppose the notion of a candidate for a non-partisan office going out and campaigning for himself on partisan grounds. Few county officials or candidates see many county papers. Mostly they do not know whether "news" about them has been printed or not. They have assumed for some reason that anything written about them will be regarded as news and that editors will break their necks to get it in print. They further assume that propaganda more or less thinly disguised will be passed to the readers of the paper. Somebody is fooling them in Orange county. A check of the papers shows that except for announcements of candidacies none of the press agent offerings so far received have stayed out of the wastebasket. This is the day of "something for nothing." What the press agent gets falls into the category. W. M.
