THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII Orange Growers May Incorporate For Mutual Help Fact-Finding Organizations Is Probable Outgrowth of Meeting Tuesday First steps toward the organization of a cooperative fact-finding body to provide citrus growers with information on marketing practices and methods, were taken at a meeting of more than 300 growers in the Orange union high school auditorium Tuesday night. It is hoped the organizations' scope of activities may eventually be extended throughout California. Committee Framed A committee was appointed to meet next Wednesday night to draw up articles of incorporation and by-laws to be submitted to another general meeting of growers. Reports that the growers were pushing an insurgent movement to break away from the California Fruit Growers Exchange were declared erroneous. "We will work with the California Fruit Growers Exchange and other marketing organizations," it was asserted by Thomas L. McFadden, chairman of the meeting. "This fact-finding group will be compared with our own." Many Persons Use Plunge During Summer A total of 25,101 found recreation in the Ananeim city change during the past season. Vic Rusay reported to the city council Tuesday evening. In addition, lessons were given to 4205 persons. Cost of reconstruction work June on section one of the joint outfall grower during August amounted to $19,392.63. Of the total Anaheim's share, was $2967.07. The city council denied the application of a group of Fullerton junior college men students to conduct public dances on Sunday afternoon. Warrants and demands against The city amounted to $23,478.34. Seattle May Use City’s Ball Park Directors of Booster Body Approve Continuance of Negotiations Chamber of commerce directors this noon approved further negotiations with the Seattle baseball club pointing toward selection of Festival Awards Committee Adds Two New Prizes Best Fleat Depicting Them of Hallowe'en Event to Be Given Trophy Entrants in this year's Halloween celebration parade, to be held on the evening of October 2nd, will have more prizes to strive for than in previous years. Inclusion of the additional awards was approved Monday when the award committee, headed by E. C. Keenrick, met at the chamber of commerce office. Topping the list of new prizes is one that will be given for the best float in the parade following the spirit of Hallowe'en them. The other additional awards will be for second, third and fourth in the most beautiful automobile class. Other Prizes Listed Awards which have been made in the past and will be presented again this year include the grand sweepstakes for the best float in the parade, second and third sweepstakes prizes; first and second prizes for the most comical stunt, the most outstanding group of marchers and the unusual float. Reports that the growers were pushing an insurgent movement to break away from the California Fruit Growers Exchange were declared erroneous. "We will work with the California Fruit Growers Exchange and other marketing organizations." It was asserted by Thomas L. McFadden, chairman of the meeting. "This fact-finding group will be composed of many loyal members of the exchange and other marketing groups." Data for Growers McFadden said, "we will investigate certain marketing problems and make recommendations where is thought best to do so." He added the organization would give such information to the grower "so he will know what he is doing and relieve the confusion in his mind." It was explained that citrus growers feel that they have no direct contact with the California Fruit Exchange or other marketing groups. Much of the fact-finding organization's work, McFadden said, probably would be disseminating information already compiled by federal agencies, but not available to the grower. To Increase Returns Main purpose of the proposed organization, he said, is to increase the return to the growers. "We feel that at least we can make suggestions or recommendations wherever we find abuses. No corrections or improvements in marketing can be made until the trouble is first discovered. One of the names suggested for the organization was "Citrus Growers, Incorporated," but that will be decided at subsequent meetings. Flycasting Talk Given by Expert A talk of flycasting by R. G. "Dick" Miller of Huntington Beach featured Friday's meeting of the Anaheim Lions club. The speaker is the world's flycasting champion. Miller told of the history of the report and the technique required in its execution. He also discussed plans of the casting pool being constructed in new La Palma park and urged that a branch of the City's Ball Park Directors of Booster Body Approve Continuance of Negotiations Chamber of commerce directors this noon approved further negotiations with the Seattle baseball club pointing toward selection of this city as the site for Seattle's training camp next spring. Secretary John A. Morgan was instructed to communicate with William Mulligan, Seattle business manager, today outlining the extent to which the chamber of commerce, with the cooperation of the city council, can go regarding fulfilling the baseball club's requirements. Plant Inspected Mulligan inspected the baseball plant at La Palma park early this week and expressed his approval of the general layout. He also interviewed hotel and cafe operators and was satisfied with facilities offered. He originally requested a guarantee, but indicated his willingness to negotiate even though assured that no guarantee could be made. The directors also discussed the plan investigated yesterday by a number of merchants for a cooperative handling of all freight to Anaheim business houses. The originator of the plan had requested the chamber of commerce to give its approval, but the directors felt they are not in a position to give such approval as the plan apparently calls for discrimination as to railroad companies. Group to Meet Here Secretary Morgan read a communication from the California Mexican Baptist Young People's union informing the chamber that organization has chosen Anaheim as its convention city next Labor day. The group desires to use the city park grounds and amphitheater and the board decided to aid in obtaining these facilities. Following a discussion of Huntington Beach chamber of commerce's request that the Anaheim organization approve a resolution asking that certain beach frontage between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach be purchased by the state for a public park, the director sapproved a motion that a committee be named to study the proposition and report at a later meeting. President Harry Other Prizes Listed Awards which have been made in the past and will be presented again this year include the grand sweepstakes for the best float on the parade, second and third sweepstakes prizes; first and second prizes for the most comic stunt, the most outstanding group of marchers and the unusual float.

Callahan Construction company, Guthrie-Marach-Peterson company, George W. Condon company and J. P. Shirley, co-bidders, were awarded the contract. Their bid was $3,636,795.

Speaker Explains Two Propositions Highway System Amendment Discussed by Manager of Auto Club Reports by several Hallowe'en celebration committees and a discussion by C. R. Brandon, manager of the Anaheim office of the Automobile Club of Southern California, of Propositions No. 3 and No. 4 featured the meeting this morning at the Pickwick hotel cafe of the Anaheim Merchants. Two-Way Police Radio Partially Operating Here Leased Wire Contracts Not Signed; Installation Is Incomplete Completion of preliminary details necessary for the establishment of a two-way communication system between the Anaheim police station and the department's patrol cars awaits the signing of an agreement between the city of Anaheim and the Southern California Telephone company for a direct leased wire between this city and Santa Ana. The contract may be signed next Tuesday evening, but indications are that the matter may be delayed until the following week. City officials cannot sign the agreement with the telephone company until the county supervisors approve an agreement between the county and the city of Anaheim concerning sharing expenses of the line. Agreement Approved Anaheim city council Tuesday evening gave its authorization to the agreement with the county, but it must be signed by the supervisors, who will probably consider the matter next Tuesday. The agreement provides that Repair of damages caused to the structure by the March floods is the principal work to be done at Palma school, according to A. Gauer, superintendent. The unit will also be altered somewhat to bring it up to specifications set by the state relative toistance to earthquakes. The school board Friday evening authorized a call for bids for construction of a new two-room unit for the recently completed Benjamin Franklin school, is planned to expand the building toward the west by adding a unit which will contain facilities for two classrooms or a hall auditorium, Gauer said. It estimated the new unit cost between $18,000 and $19,000. Benjamin Franklin school now has even classrooms and a kindergarten. Progress on reconstruction of George Washington school is tirelessly satisfactory, the superintendent said. It is the hope of the school board to have this structure well as the La Palma schoolady for occupancy early in January. Group Consideres Revival of Fair Revival of the old Orange county fair is under consideration by merchants' division of the Huntington Beach chamber of commerce. The plan would be to start the revival of the fair on a small scale, and gradually increase facilities. A 30-acre fair ground stadium and permanent exposition building would be the ultimate goal. Advantages for revival of the fair include Huntington Beach's facilities for handling large crowds and the availability of land for large fair grounds, the merchants explained. The old fair, after being held Huntington Beach a few years, was moved to Santa Ana, and later in a spot in the country near Santa Ana. It was discontinued afterwards and merged with the Los Angeles county fair. Huntington Beach businessmen elled the early day success of the fair could be repeated here, and have been discussing the plan in connection with a proposed series three fall festival events scheduled. Highway System Amendment Discussed by Manager of Auto Club Reports by several Hallowe'en celebration committees and a discussion by C. R. Brandon, manager of the Anaheim office of the Automobile Club of Southern California, of Propositions No. 3 and No. 4 featured the meeting this morning at the Pickwick hotel cafe of the Anaheim Merchants association. Proposition No. 3, Brandon said, permanently prevents diversion of the state gasoline tax fund and registration fees to any other purpose than for highways and allied matters. It does, however, permit certain short term loans to other funds. Highway Commission Proposition No. 4 creates a highway and traffic safety commission which is designed to provide long range planning of highway construction and safety, continuity of policy and a more efficient management of highway affairs. The commission would be composed of five men, each serving 10 years with a salary of $6000 a year. Appointments would be made upon approval with the approval of the senate, with terms suggested in such manner as to provide a vacancy every two years of one position. Such a policy would make a career of highway management. Under the present policy, the entire highway problem is handled by the department of public works, Brandon said. The speaker was introduced by Police Chief James S. Bouldin. Reports are Given Details of the Hallowe'en celebration, which will be held October '29, are rapidly being worked out, various committee chairmen reported this morning. O. H. Renner revealed that more than half of the required funds are available and predicted that the goal of $1255 will be reached. Other reports were given by August Schumacher on floats, E. C. Kendrick on awards, Ted Masterson on the kangaroo court, Mrs. Jack Corn on the costume ball, and H. E. W. Barnes on the breakfast. Dr. Howard A. Tews announced that Ezio Pinza' will sing at Santa Ana on October 17 as part of the Santa Ana concert series. Pinza' concert is an added attraction made possible by exceptional support of the series. Agreement Approved Anaheim city council Tuesday Tuesday evening gave its authorization to the agreement with the county, but it must be signed by the supervisors, who will probably consider the matter next Tuesday. The agreement provides that the city of Anaheim will pay the $28 monthly lease charges for the line and that the county will reimburse the city to the extent of $14 a month. Meanwhile, the police department is partially equipped for two-way communication. One patrol car carries both receiving and transmitting equipment, but installation of equipment at the station has not been completed. Calls Are Relayed Officers in the patrol car now are able to communicate directly with the county's radio station, which an turn can relay the message to the Anaheim police headquarters. Calls from the deak sergeant to the patrol car, however, must still be made by relay through the county station. How soon the remainder of the equipment will be installed at the station is not definitely known, but it is believed not until after the private leased wire is installed. Original plans of council were to share a leased wire with Fullerton, but subsequent investigations disclosed that the cost to the city for its own private wire would be the same as for a joint wire. City Court Jury Frees Defendant Al Dugan, 26, Los Angeles negro, stands acquitted today of charges of vagrancy and battery following a verdict of not guilty returned yesterday afternoon by a jury which heard the case in City Judge Frank Tausch's court. The jury deliberated four hours. Charges against Dugan were brought by the father of a 19-year-old Anaheim girl, who accused the defendant of molesting her at her home last July. Dugan was arrested July 21 by Los Angeles police on a warrant from Anaheim. The old fair, after being held Huntington Beach a few years, was moved to Santa Ana, and later in a spot in the country near Santa Ana. It was discontinued afterwards and merged with the Los Angeles county fair. Huntington Beach businessmen felt the early day success of the fair could be repeated here, and have been discussing the plan in connection with a proposed series three fall festival events scheduled there in October, November and December. They will be in the form of merchants' celebrations, with an exposition planned for the pier and pavilion. It is planned to carry out each month's celebration with a different theme. Man Stabbed During Night Sunday Nigh Frank Marquez, 30, of Route 2, box 109, is recovering today from lab wounds received in a fight with an unnamed assailant last Sunday night. Police were called to the office of Anaheim physician Sunday after Marquez had gone there for treatment. He was taken immediately to the county hospital. The man refused to sign a complaint against his assailant, telling officers the trouble started following family argument. Friis will Address County's Policemen Leo J. Friis, Anaheim attorney, will be the speaker at the meeting of the Orange County Peace Officers association next Monday evening. The meeting will be held at the Jewett hotel in San Clemente at 6:30 o'clock. Other reports were given by August Schumacher on floats, E. C. Kendrick on awards, Ted Masterson on the kangaroo court, Mrs. Jack Corn on the costume ball, and H. E. W. Barnes on the breakfast. Dr. Howard A. Tews announced that Ezio Pinza' will sing at Santa Ana on October 17 as part of the Santa Ana concert series. Pinza's concert is an added attraction made possible by exceptional support of the series. Drunk Driver is Hit-Run Suspect Arrested for drunk driving after Fullerton police had notified Anaheim officers he was coming toward this city, Joe E. Rodriquez, 23, of Santa Ana was lodged in jail Saturday night. He appeared before City Judge Frank Tausch Monday morning, pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $200, with a 100-day jail sentence as an alternative. Meanwhile, Brea police placed a hold against Rodriquez as a hit-and-run suspect. The automobile the Santa Anan was driving showed signs of a recent accident, Anaheim police said.

Morales was arrested Saturday in connection with the recent theft of a tire from an Anaheim store, police said.

Criticisms were based upon past talks given by the speakers. Speeches were given by George Hedstrom, E. E. Smith, E. Millard Parks, William Claussen and Walter Taylor. Critics were Dr. H. A. Tews, Harold Hollinger, Paul Winsor, Dr. C. O. Patterson and Royal Marten, general critic. Dr. M. M. Henderson was toastmaster of the evening.

Phillips was granted a permit to construct a dwelling and garage at 400 N. West street at a cost of $5,000.
