THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXIX Speaks Here A. E. Isham Citrus Industry Still Has Future Mutual Orange Distributors Official Suggests Ways To Remedy Condition There is a remedy for the present serious condition of the citrus industry in California and a definite future for the industry. Sales Counsellor Speaks to City’s Merchant Group George Irving Tells Factors Involved in Success; Gauer on Program The merchant is a public servant who is expected by the customer to give him what he wants, when he wants it and at a fair price, declared George M. Irving, sales counsellor, in speaking before members of the Anaheim Merchants association this morning at the Marigold cafe. In enlarging on that statement, Irving said that the buying public is just as modern as the merchant and it is the duty of the business owner to be as modern as his customers. The question most asked him, the speaker said, is "What does the future hold for the independent merchant?" His answer has always been, "Just about what the merchant decides to take out of it." Controls Own Fate Success or failure lies in the Publisher will Speak at Booster Body Meeting H. C. Burkheimer, publisher of the Alhambra Post Advocate, will be the speaker at the February luncheon meeting of the Anaheim chamber of commerce, it has been announced by John A. Morgan secretary. The meeting will be held at the Elks clubhouse no Wednesday noon. Burkheimer has long been active in the civic and commercial life of Alhambra. He is expected to have an important message that will interest every member of the chamber of commerce. Orange Situation Told by Speaker Paul Armstrong Says Buying Power of County Depends On Citrus Returns Everyone of us who depends on community buying power is correctly concerned with the citrus situation, Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, told Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county at Fuller Mutual Orange Distributors Official Suggests Ways To Remedy Condition There is a remedy for the present serious condition of the citrus industry in California and a definite future for the industry, Arthur E. Isham, manager of the field department of the Mutual Orange Distributors, told members of the Anaheim Kiwanis club Tuesday noon. Upon cooperation lies the success of the industry. The heads of the orange distributing agencies must cooperate with each other and with the growers, and, in turn, the growers must cooperate with themselves and with the distributors, he said. Everyone connected with the industry must employ straight thinking and vision if the present serious conditions are to be remedied. Industry Affects All Isham pointed out that the citrus industry affects everyone in southern California. About three-fourths of the cities of southern California are built upon the citrus industry, he said, adding that the citrus dollar is the hope for the future of Orange county. It is the powerhouse for business in southern California, Isham declared. Middlemen milk the profits from the citrus industry, the speaker said. A reduction in the spread between the producer and the consumer must be accomplished before the industry becomes successful, and elimination of the middleman is one necessary part of that reduction. Results of the prorate under which California growers have been operating were criticized by Isham. He pointed out that Florida sales have mounted rapidly due to the proration and to facts that Florida is near the distribution centers and enjoy lower packtion centers and enjoys lower (Continued on Page 3) Mrs. Ida Freeman Agains Heads Club Mrs. Ida Freeman will again serve as president of the Anaheim Townsend club during the com- Irving said that the buying public is just as modern as the merchant and it is the duty of the business owner to be as modern as his customers. The question most asked him, the speaker said, is "What does the future hold for the independent merchant?" His answer has always been, "Just about what the merchant decides to take out of it." Controls Own Fate Success or failure lies in the hands of the merchant himself, Irving said. The business man must possess ideas and he must be willing to make changes to keep pace with new developments within his field. Furthermore, he must be willing to work hard and study hard to make his business a success. "Too many merchants have a wishbone where their backbone should be," the speaker said. Large operators do not have an unfair advantage over the small independent man in the opinion of Irving. Each has problems that are peculiar to themselves, but both are able to do the same things that will make for success. Preper and efficient purchasing of stocks, willingness to learn new methods of merchandising and thoroughly trained, interested salespeople are available to both. Irving conducts sales clinics in many cities and several Anaheim merchants expressed their desire to have such classes here. Project Nears Close M. A. Gauer, superintendent of elementary schools of Anaheim, spoke briefly on the construction program which was launched in December of 1937. This program is now approximately 90 per cent complete, he said, there remaining only the completion of the John C. Fremont main building and the new auditorium at Benjamin Franklin school. Eight construction projects costing approximately $498,000 were included in the project. The shop and cafeteria building at Fremont, the new Franklin building, the Broadway school and the La Palma school are now in use. Students will return to classes in the George Washington school on Monday. It is anticipated the new Fremont structure will be completed before the end of March and that classes will convene there following the Easter vacation. Subcontracts, in the main, were granted to Anaheim and Orange Paul Armstrong Says Buying Power of County Depends On Citrus Returns Everyone of us who depends on community buying power is directly concerned with the citrus situation, Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, told Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county at Fullerton Tuesday night. "Local business men in citrus communities cannot afford to casual onlookers or destructive critics," he said. "They show study the economics of citrus marketing and what makes prices they do their own business. "When he reaches a conclusion he should put his influence as active support behind a sound constructive program," Armstrong said. Predicts Support "When he does, I predict that we will conclude to support cooperative marketing, regulation of shipments, diversion of surplus while present into other than fresh fruit channels, and constant build of consumer demand." It is unnecessary to remind audience of Orange county business men of the significance citrus to their welfare because many are growers and all realize that the buying power of the county depends largely on citrus turns, he said. There is no mystery about present difficult citrus situation Armstrong said. The past season sales were 30 per cent greater than the past five-year average while buying power was 20 percent (Continued on page 8) Pastor Reveals European View European leaders admit that Hitler has done much for the people of Germany and that he probably will stay in power as long he lives; but they are apprehensive of what he may try to do future.

Jack Krisher of Santa Ana paid a $5 fine for speeding. Nightball Team's Status Undecided The status of the Anaheim team in the National nightball league is still undetermined today and will remain undecided at least until next week and possibly longer. The city council at a special meeting Tuesday evening, discussed the request of the city's baseball commission that the franchise, equipment and privileges be turned over to Ben Gelker of Olive, but declined to reach a decision. There are several ramifications involved in the matter that he wishes to study farther before making a recommendation to the council, City Attorney Leo J. Frilis said. The council passed a resolution asking that bids on plumbing fixtures for use at the new La Palma park stadium be filed with the city by February 14. The equipment will be used in the dressing rooms and public toilets of the stadium. European leaders admit that Hitler has done much for the people of Germany and that he probably will stay in power as long as he lives, but they are apprehensive of what he may try to do the future.

McAuley, a member of Orange Rotary club, spent seven months in Europe last summer interviewed numerous education and governmental leaders in several countries.

The meeting was the first of the new year and marked the debut of Mayor M. M. McCallen of Huntington Beach as president of the organization. Cunningham explained the measure which has been introduced in the state legislature and is supported by the League of California Municipalities. The proposed law is the outgrowth of extensive research done by a committee of the state league and seeks to have a larger portion of state gasoline tax moneys expended within cities than is now the case. Quotes Statistles The speaker pointed out that metorists living within cities pay a large majority of the state gasoline tax and license fees, while the amount of money spent by the state and counties for streets within the city is less than that spent outside of the city. Cunningham quotes extensive statistics to show the inequality of expenditures. The proposed bill provides that each year each board of supervisors in the state must submit a proposed budget of expenditure on streets to the state department of public works. This budget may be refused if it does not provide for fair distribution of funds between cities and unincorporated areas where it will best serve traffic needs. If passed by the present legislature, the bill would become effective next January. In his address, Dean Olson listed some 15 principles that should be followed in the management of public business. Good management implies the efficient use of the tax dollar, which, in turn, builds confidence in public business, he said. Principles Listed Administration of the city's affairs is usually the biggest business enterprise in any city, Dean (Continued on page 8) Youths Treated For Crash Hurts Injuries suffered by Wayne Baker, 22, of 704 N.

Lambert Status of the new county council will probably be decided by the courts it was indicated yesterday when County Auditor W. T. Lambert refused to pay J. E. Walker's salary and said he had decided upon a "friendly" suit to determine whether the creation of the office was legal. The auditor also announced he would not authorize payment of state fees to county officials. The court test will probably be in the form of a mandamus action brought by Walker to compel the auditor to pay his salary. There will be no cost to the taxpayer, Lambert said, because Walker would appear for himself and District Attorney George F. Holden would represent Lambert. Another court contest may develop from Lambert's stand regarding payment of fees, January salary checks were issued under the new salary ordinance which became effective on January 1, which provided for increases in pay to those receiving fees and retention by the county of the fees. According to an opinion given to Lambert by Deputy District Attorney Martell Thompson, Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, is not entitled to fees from the state for reporting vital statistics under the new ordinance. Others affected included Recorder (Continued on Page 3) Officers Chosen By Speech Club New officers unanimously elected Tuesday evening by the Anaheim Toastmasters club will be installed at next week's meeting.

The low point of 25 degrees was maintained for about two hours shortly before daybreak and followed fluctuating temperatures throughout the early morning hours. Cooperative Suit In Court Friday Demurrers to Complaint to Be Argued at Hearing Set for Tomorrow Demurrers to the amended complaint filed by Julius Milbrat, sr., as a grower-member of the Anaheim Community Growers, against the former officials of the cooperative citrus packing house, will The thermometer at the Association Laboratory here registered a minimum of 25 degrees at 4 o'clock. The temperature had remained below 27 degrees since 1 o'clock and below 29 degrees since 11 o'clock, it was reported. Houts said shortly before noon today that he and his men had completed a hurried survey of groves surrounding Anaheim and found some slush ice in the fruit at various location. It is too early, however, to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount of damage done to the orange crop, he said. It is known that considerable new growth is burnt. Demurrers to Complaint to Be Argued at Hearing Set for Tomorrow Demurrers to the amended complaint filed by Julius Milbrat, sr., as a grower-member of the Anaheim Community Growers, against the former officials of the cooperative citrus packing house, will be argued in superior court tomorrow. Superior Court Judge George K. Scovel continued the hearing from last Thursday to permit all persons involved to have a longer time to prepare their arguments in time to prepare their arguments of the case in which the former manager and directors of the association were named in a $150,000 accounting suit. Those entering demurrers are Edward Mills, deposed manager, and J. T. Lyon, Perry W. Mathis and George Easton, all of whom were ousted as directors last November. Demurrers to the amended complaint were based upon general grounds in most instances. However, Easton set forth specific points of attack in which he questioned Milbrat's bringing suit in the name of the cooperative after the present board of directors had declined to be a party in the action. All other allegations and accusations were questioned by Easton, including the basis for Milbrat's contention that $150,000 or more has been lost through alleged wilful mismanagement. Building Activity Has Good Start Building activity in Anaheim for the new year enjoyed a good start, Building-Inspector R. Nyboe revealed yesterday when he disclosed that 15 permits were granted during January with a total valuation of $20,626. The number of permits was slightly less than last January's total of 18, but the valuation exceeded last year's figure of $18,-066. During the last week of the month, two permits were granted, having a total valuation of $3000. One was to E. A. Heinze for the construction of a $2500 dwelling o'clock and below 29 degrees since 11 o'clock, it was reported. Houts said shortly before noon today that he and his men had completed a hurried survey of groves surrounding Anaheim and found some slush ice in the fruit at various location. It is too early, however, to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount of damage done to the orange crop, he said. It is known that considerable new growth is burnt. Damage Spotted Reports circulated early in the morning that the damage probably would be spotted was borne out by Houts' findings. He said that some localities around Anaheim were colder than others and that some sections of certain groves were also colder than other sections. "It will take at least three or four more days of testing the fruit to arrive at any valuable conclusion regarding damage," Houts declared. Survey of thermometers within the city limits of Anaheim as well as those in out-of-town localities revealed it was slightly colder inside of Anaheim than in the surrounding territory, Houts said. Government weather bureau officials at Pomona said today that temperatures will probably not be as low tonight as they were last night, the Anaheim man declared. Ex-Pastor Changes Morals Count Plea Changing his plea from not guilty and not guilty be reason of insanity to one of guilty, Harney M. McGehee, former Anaheim pastor, asked for probation when he appeared before Superior Judge Franklin G. West yesterday. Hearing of the application will be held February 10.
