Future course of action by the city will be determined after a study is made of the findings. A judgment of $1707.30 was given W. J. M. Heinz and Genevieve R. Heinz, his wife, against the city of Anaheim late last week when Superior Court Judge G. K. Scovel announced his decision in the damage suit brought by the victors last January. The decision is not yet final. Mr. and Mrs. Heinz filed suit for $5000 for alleged damages done their property as the result of the improvement by the city of Anaheim of West Santa Ana street.

Valencia Market Outlook Improved Several Speakers Heard on Program at County's Citrus Institute A more encouraging outlook for the 1939 valencia market than the immediate past was given to the 400 citrus growers attending the annual Orange County Citrus institute held last Friday at Santa Ana. In his presentation of economic considerations for the citrus grower, Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg indicated by charts that the purchasing power of the eastern consuming centers were on a general upward trend. The data were secured through the bureau of agricultural economics, whose surveys on employment, factory production and index prices were of a more favorable outlook. Although estimates at the present time indicate as great a total production of valencias as last year, the actual shipments to consumer will be less because of frost and wind damage and small sizes that should be withheld because of poor reception on the market. J. A. Prizer, manager of the Placentia Orange Growers association, presented graphic charts of last year's sales of fruit, showing that a considerable quantity of lower grades and small sized fruit brought less than the cost of production to the grower. It is more essential than ever, he explained, to protect orchards against wind and urged a greater planting of windbreaks if the grower wishes to do something about improving his returns by improving quality and size of fruit. Now is the best time to remove diseased trees of low production and poor quality of fruit, said Henry Hepner of the Covina association. Too many orchards have kept diseased trees too long. They should be removed now. R. Heinz, his wife, against the city of Anaheim late last week when Superior Court Judge G. K. Scovel announced his decision in the damage suit brought by the victors last January. The decision is not yet final. Mr. and Mrs. Heinz filed suit for $5000 for alleged damages done their property as the result of the improvement by the city of Anaheim of West Santa Ana street. The original suit included three causes of action, two of which were dropped when the case went on trial late in January. Judge Scovel took the case under advisement on January 26 and announced his decision last week. Construction of a curb along the edge of the Heinz property was the basis upon which Judge Scovel awarded the judgment. He found that the curb caused interference with the right of ingress and egress, and therefore damaged the plaintiffs. Three Days of Testimony Judge Scovel said that the raise in the grade was not of itself sufficient to have caused the plaintiffs any appreciable damage. During the three days of testimony in January, the city of Anaheim introduced evidence to prove that the grade of Santa Ana street had been changed not more than three-sixteenth of an inch. Witnesses for the city also testified that dwellings on the Heinz property are placed on the level of the grade, and that at the request of the plaintiffs the city had previously deposited soil on their property near the curb line. Mr. and Mrs. Heinz filed a demand with the city during July of 1937 asking for $5000. When the city council refused to pay the demand they brought suit in superior court, the case coming to trial on January 23 of this year. Traffic Violator Takes Jail Term Six violators of traffic ordinances appeared before City Judge Frank Tausch last week and paid fines aggregating $55. A seventh driver went to county jail for five days in lieu of paying a $10 fine. Heaviest fine was assessed against William E. Jones of Riverside, who pleaded guilty to permitting an unlicensed minor to drive his automobile: He paid $25 Max Hernandez Anaheim paid Automobile Fuel Differences Told A talk and demonstration on the difference in automobile fuels were given before Anaheim Kiwanis Tuesday soon by Carl Abell, Los Angeles representative of the Ethyl Gasoline Corporation of New York. The speaker was introduced by Everett M. Cone, program chairman of the day. The average automobile does not perform to its capacity of efficiency, the speaker said, largely because the proper fuel is not being used. Proper tuning of the engine is also important in securing maximum performances, Abell said. The demonstration dealt with the use of the three grades of gasoline in the same one-horse-power gasoline engine. La Jolla Man Pays Drunk Driving Fine Mike George, 53, of La Jolla colony, went to jail for 50 days and had his operator's license revoked when he pleaded guilty Monday morning before City Judge Frank Tausch to a charge of driving while intoxicated. George was arrested at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening while driving east on Center street.

Heaviest loser was C. H. Wittmer, 118 N. Palm street, where two thefts occurred. On Friday night someone entered the garage at that address and stole a $60 Waltham pocket watch and a felt case.

Orange County Will Have SRA Work Relief Program New Policy Replacing Dole System Becomes Effective Within Next Few Days, Reliable Authority Reveals The dole system of relief will be replaced by a work-relief program in Orange county within the next few days by the State Relief administration. The Gazette learned today from an excellent authority. Just when the new policy will become effective was not disclosed, but it was said that it will be but a matter of a short time. Anaheim Resident Sought in Probe Michael Francik Identified as "J. M. Paulsen" in Pamphlet Case Charged with criminal libel, Michael Francik, 45, of 114 N. Citron street, Anaheim, is being sought by Orange county peace officers in the latest development of the notorious "Fools Rush In" pamphlet case which rocked Orange county a few days before the concerted efforts on the part of business men, agricultural leaders and outstanding members of the professions have resulted in the change of policy in Orange county. Dissatisfaction with the dole system has increased steadily here in the past several months, with the result that the state relief administration has heeded strong sentiments in favor of a work program for relief recipients. Details Not Known Details of the proposed program are not yet known, but it is believed that it will be based upon the system which has been operated successfully in Santa Barbara county for some time. It has been the plan in that county to make Michael Francik Identified as "J. M. Paulsen" in Pamphlet Case Charged with criminal libel, Michael Francik, 45, of 114 N. Citron street, Anaheim, is being sought by Orange county peace officers in the latest development of the notorious "Fools Rush In" pamphlet case which rocked Orange county a few days before the primary election last August. Francik is said to be a racetrack bookmaker. The complaint was issued late last Thursday by District Attorney George F. Holden at the request of the county grand jury. The inquisitorial body had been sitting in extraordinary session. Harold Boyce, investigator for the district attorney, signed the complaint. High Misdemeanor The criminal libel charge is an outgrowth of printed remarks made about A. B. Berry, publisher of a Santa Ana weekly newspaper. Being a high misdemeanor, the crime is punishable by not more than one year in the county jail, or by a $5000 fine, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Francik county officials said, has been identified positively by three persons as the "J. M. Paulsen" who handled negotiations for the printing of the booklet in a Los Angeles shop. It was "Paulsen" who ordered the pamphlet printed and who paid for it. Those identifying him have not made any previous identifications, such as some made last summer that proved in error, District Attorney Holden said. One is a workman in the plant where the pamphlet was printed. Students Speak To Rotary Club Anaheim Rotarians heard discussion of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish religions Monday noon when three members of the University Religious Conference spoke during the meeting. The speakers were Stuart Ratliff, John Brunside and Gilbert Harrison. New directors of the club were named during the business meeting. They are J. L. Bovee, Jr., C. R. Brandon, E. R. Deering, L. C. Deming and Dr. Howard A. Details Not Known Details of the proposed program are not yet known, but it is believed that it will be based upon the system which has been operated successfully in Santa Barbara county for some time. It has been the plan in that county to make the relief recipient work out his SRA allowance. According to Supervisor C. L. Preisker of Santa Barbara county, many of the persons on relief are put to work in agriculture, while others were given employment hoeing weeds, doing road work and other endeavors. They were paid $3.50 for each day they worked, he said. The growing sentiment against the dole system and the subversive influences that have steadily forced their ways into the state relief program has not been confirmed to Orange county alone, but is state-wide. More determined efforts on the part of residents of this county have led to establishing a new policy here sooner than in other localities. Problem is Studied State officials have given no little consideration to the new program as a state-wide policy. During the March recess of the state legislature, an interim committee of that body studied the matter thoroughly. It heard much testimony regarding the invasion of subversive elements into the relief program from business people, county and city officials, farmers and relief administrative officers, themselves. These persons freely discussed their own experiences before the committee and voiced their convictions. While many viewpoints were expressed, all were unanimous in the belief that some change must be made to eliminate the straight dole system of relief, those close to the committee reported. Permits for Two Dwellings Issued Construction of two new dwellings in Anaheim was authorized during the past week by Building Inspector R. Nyboe. Added to the Santa Fe's new line requirment of a bridge across Santa Ana river at Scully's in Santa Ana canyon.

Smith, will be Paul McDermott the school staff and Melvin Wes.
