Gas Companies Prepare for Peak Loads During Cold Winter Months With the approach of winter and the fairly cold weather that it may bring, gas companies serving southern California announce that their systems are now in better operating condition to meet peak load requirements than ever before in their history, according to Fred Merker of the Southern Counties Gas company. The floods of March, 1938, caused great damage to all classes of property in the southland, including the gas utility pipeline facilities when gas companies were taxed severely in maintaining service to their essential customers. With the experience gained during this emergency, careful rehabilitation programs costing $560,000 were worked out in the areas most affected. Reconstruction work was started in the late summer and fall by the several companies at Santa Clara river near Saugus and Saticoy, the Castaic creek near Castaic, where principal gas transmission lines from the San Joaquin fields and Ventura-Santa Barbara county fields cross wide river channels on their course to Los Angeles. Not only have existing facilities been strengthened, and in some cases relocated, but new lines have been constructed to increase the security of the supply from major producing areas. In Southern California Gas company's eastern division, principally along the Santa Ana river and Mill Creek, pipe lines, completely wiped out by the southern counties, in order to improve the pressure conditions for the coming winter and provide for an increasing number of consumers coming on the several systems. A total of 23,255 connected domestic and commercial meters have been added to the companies' system since the first of this year, bringing the total number of domestic and commercial customers served to approximately 860,000. Cost of adding these new customers during the year will approximate $2,300,000. Wildcat drilling for oil continues, in spite of the overproduction brought about by declining domestic and foreign markets. The result of this has been the discovery of additional sources of supply this year, which augment already developed reserves. Gas available to the Los Angeles metropolitan area is expected to be in excess of 600,000,000 cubic feet daily, which is about the same as last winter. New sources of supply for natural gas have been added to transmission lines, which now tap 39 oil and gas fields. During the past few months, curtailment, due to conservation measures, has been increasingly effective, so that, today, little gas wastage occurs in the entire state. In addition to the gas coming from oil producing fields, if required, the gas companies can call on dry gas wells (wells producing gas only), which currently are not used, to augment the supply, so that there will be no diminution of supply. Merchants of Anaheim share in a statewide outpouring Christmas funds which will be leased to members of the Bank of America here, proximately $12,000,000 will distributed to Christmas savers the 494 branches of the bank 307 California communities. It is 26 per cent more than last year. In Anaheim, the total distribution will be $23,859 to 520 Christmas club members. It is estimated that 70 per cent of the money saved in this type account goes immediately into trade channels. The remainder re-invested in savings and securities. Pointing to this year's all-high mark for what is the latest Christmas club in the United States, Manager Hanson remarried "There is every reason to feel that the coming Christmas will be California's merriest in many years." Christmas club savings represent one of the best possible guide economic conditions." Register Purchases Santa Ana Journ county fields cross wide river channels on their course to Los Angeles. Not only have existing facilities been strengthened, and in some cases relocated, but new lines have been constructed to increase the security of the supply from major producing areas. In Southern California Gas company’s eastern division, principally along the Santa Ana river and Mill creek, pipe lines, completely wiped out by the flood of March, have been restored, as far as conditions of highways and bridges permit, but temporary construction has been done to assure service. The Southern County Gas company’s 12-inch transmission line supplying San Diego has been rehabilitated and strengthened. During the summer, cross ties and numerous short sections of line to connect existing ends of mains were installed in the four mission lines, which now tap 39 oil and gas fields. During the past few months, curtailment, due to conservation measures, has been increasingly effective, so that today, little gas wastage occurs in the entire state. In addition to the gas coming from oil producing fields, if required, the gas companies can call on dry gas wells (wells producing gas only), which currently are not used, to augment the supply, so that there will be no diminution of supply to this metropolitan area for all essential customers. In order to doubly assure continuity of service in case of extreme peak demands such as were experienced during January, 1937, the three diesel oil gas manufacturing plants located at strategic points will be heated up during the early part of December in readiness on a few hours’ notice to produce 80,000,000 cubic feet daily of high heat content gas with which to augment the natural gas coming from the fields some distance from the centers of distribution. A new butane standby plant, costing $115,000, has just been completed at San Pedro, in preparation for peak demands. In addition, holder storage of 122,000,000 cubic feet capacity is available, gas being withdrawn during the daylight period of heavy demand and being stored during the late night hours of light demand. The greatest problem which gas companies encounter during the winter season is to supply an average amount of gas to meet widely fluctuating demands caused by a wide range of temperatures. The most striking example occurred in February, 1932, when on the 15th of the month, there was a demand for 274,000,000 cubic feet of gas in southern California, and on the 28th of the same month the demand totals only 84,000,000 cubic feet, or one third of the demand on the land day.

Orange County 4-H Clubs Complete Successful Year; Profit Recorded 4-H club work in Orange county has been successful in 1938 and has had the largest enrollment in several years, according to Ross E. Crane, assistant farm advisor. A total of 298 boys and girls have been enrolled in the work and 229 have submitted written records of their projects. Five new clubs were organized during the year. These were the Orana Rancheros, El Modena, Anaheim, Midway City, and Balboa Island. Club records show that members of both the agriculture and home economics clubs have been active during the year. Agriculture club members owned and cared for 4,506 poultry, 10 pigeons, 16 ducks, 25 stands of bees, 20 dairy calves, two cows, five beef steers, 14 sheep, three goats, 97 pigs and 1,926 rabbits. Vegetable crops were grown on a total of 25 acres of land. Poultry and rabbit projects continue to be most popular. The girls in 4-H clothing clubs made a large number of articles of clothing. Club members are required to keep a careful record of all costs and returns incurred in raising their animals or crops. These costs include rent of land, labor, feed, seed and any other costs. When the project is completed, the total costs are compared with the total income. Two-thirds of the members made a fair to good profit, while one-third had losses, usually small. The total value of all crops and animals raised was $11,748; the total cost was $9,136. Go-Getters. Both exhibits attracted much attention. The 26 clubs active during the year were in charge of volunteer local leaders who made up the county club council. All credit is due to these leaders for the successful year's work. This group was presided over by Mrs. F. L. Benson of Anaheim. The new president is Ira Hartshorn of Costa Mesa. Club work has been established in Orange county for 19 years, during which time an estimated 4,700 boys and girls have been enrolled. A continuation of active interest in and support of club work is anticipated in 1939. Railroad In Company Review Santa Fe's net railway income for October was according to a statement by President S.

Season is to supply an adequate amount of gas to meet the fluctuating demands caused by wide range of temperatures. Most striking example of this need in February, 1932, when the 15th of the month, there demand for 274,000,000 cu-ft of gas in southern California and on the 28th of that month the demand totaled 44,000,000 cubic feet, or one-fifth of the demand on the largest rate News Property Repairs to Close in June Financing improvement and repairs to real property was incorporated in the original national housing act which expired April, 1937. Due to popular demand, it was reenacted in the congressional amendments last February, however, and is now available to property owners but only until next June 30, according to M. E. Beebe, chairman of the Anaheim better housing committee. Under the plan, the federal housing administration insures private lending institutions, approved by the FHA, against loss on funds advanced for improvements and repairs to existing structures. The borrower, however, must meet certain requirements. For instance, he must have a steady income and a good credit rating, and must own the property to be improved or hold a lease on it running at least six months longer than the term of the loan. Repayments may be spread over as long as a three or five-year period. All the FHA asks, in turn, is that loans or advances of credit made by the insured institution conform to the reasonable requirements of the act.
