Export Rates On Citrus Lowered Reduction of 10c a box in the ocean transportation charge to Europe was announced today by a committee of citrus shippers, who met with the Pacific Coast European conference at San Francisco last week. Members of the conference present represented 23 lines operating under foreign flags, 15 of which are used quite regularly by the citrus industry in moving their fruit overseas. This reduction in rate became effective March 1, according to the committee's statement and based on last year's movement of citrus fruit to Europe represents a saving of approximately $350,000 a year to all citrus shippers. This reduction should be helpful in maintaining a substantial export volume this season, the committee said. 2609 Old People Aided by County Old age aid was extended to 2,609 persons in Orange county in December, 1938, according to a report on assistance to the needy aged, recently made public by California Taxpayers' association. In dollars and cents, the aid to the needy aged in the county for that month totalled $83,942, which amounted to an average payment per individual aided for $32.17 for the month. Over California as a whole, old age assistance payments were granted to 125,270 aged persons during December. This, the association said, represents approximately 27 percent of the population. Court’s Decision Favors Chapmans Fullerton People Win Huge Suit After Six Years of Litigation The largest law suit ever brought in Orange county was brought to a close this week and was won by the defendants, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, and other stockholders of the Santa Ysabel Land company. A decision of the fourth district court of appeals affirmed the decision of Superior Judge G. K. Scovel in denying the one million-dollar stockholders liability suit brought by bondholders of the Hotel Alexandria in Los Angeles. Chapman's associates as defendants were Clare I. Chapman, C. S. Chapman, Irvin C. Chapman and Ethel Chapman Wickett. The litigation had been before the courts since June 17, 1933. The Santa Ysabel Land company had acquired the Alexandria Hotel in 1930, three years after the owners had bonded the property for $1,500,000, so that there was no moral obligation upon the Chapmans because of any bond purchases based upon ownership by the Santa Ysabel Land company. Later, and while there was still no default in the bonds, The Santa Ysabel company sold the hotel to the Spring Street Properties, Inc., which subsequently defaulted, in 1933. The Security-National Bank of Los Angeles, trustee, brought suit against the Chapmans, being joined by a committee of bondholders. Cover Crops Will Be Viewed Friday SAN JOSE, Calif.—Fifty miles south of San Francisco and thirteen and one half miles west of San Jose stands the "Winchester Museum House," which is the world's largest residence and in so far as I know, the only one built by spiders. Often called "Spook Palace," it is a shining example of something that should not have been allowed to happen. Because its origin and its fantastic structure, it has been the subject of many writers and I believe in very instance it has been protrained as the romantic, mysterious house of an eccentric, wealthy lady. In 1884, Mrs. Sarah Winchester of the Winchester Arms family visited a medium in Boston, MA. There, it is believed, she was formed that the spirits of the people, who had met death by Winchester guns, were plotting against her and, if she were to continue living, she would have to stay building. By so doing, the writer of the spirits would be appealed by the sound of saws and hammers and that as long as the woman continued, she would never possessor of a fortune of $20,000 and an income of $1,000 a day, she immediately began vantage. Over California as a whole, old age assistance payments were granted to 125,270 aged persons during December. This, the association said, represents approximately 27 per cent of the population in the state over 65 years of age and amounted to a total aid extended for the month of $4,062,-915 or an average of $32.43 per person aided.

It is believed, she was in- that the spirits of the peo- who had met death by Win- er guns, were plotting against her, if she were to continue she would have to start living. By so doing, the wrath the spirits would be appeased the sound of saws and ham- and that as long as the work sued, she would never die. Assor of a fortune of $20,000,- and an income of $1,000 per the immediately began look- thinking it would be the usual small repair job, stayed on for 35 years. A paper hanger worked for 27 years and a cupola builder did nothing else for 30 years. Construction never stopped for 38 years and was still in progress at the time of her death on Sept. 5, 1922, at the age of 85 years. Each day throughout the period of construction, Mrs. Winchester would retire to the "blue-room" and hold a seance with the spirits who were directing the work. As their plans were final and carried out in detail, the house soon began to assume a grotesque appearance. Room was built around room; elevators were installed in the one story section; 40 stairways were built that lead nowhere, some with as many as seven flights to ascend one story; cupboards were built that could only be reached by ladders. 144 rooms, 200 doors, 10,000 windows, 150,000 panes of glass, 25 bathrooms, many with glass doors, rare woods, gold and silver chandeliers and last but not least, an expenditure of $5,000,000. Result—a series of rooms so complicated in design that when it was first opened to the public, arrows were painted on the floor so the guides could find their way about. Just think, that amount of money would have constructed 2,000 new homes, which would have accommodated 8000 people, figuring four to a family. That's almost twice as many people as live in 32nd Anniversary Marked by Store The S. Q. R. Store, oldest department store in Anaheim, today is celebrating its thirty-second anniversary.
