Stubbs left the city of Anaheim two and a half years ago with a ten-foot California Valencia tender evergreen orange tree bound for New York City. The trip took Stubbs 26 days. For the last two years the tree has flourished in a small green house in Manhattan, New York. More than 2,000,000 people have stopped their work to see the tree pass through cities and down the highways. Hundreds of New Yorkers have also seen the tree which is still green and cheerful looking. Stubbs will depart for Alaska in July, carrying his tree in a specially designed air-conditioned "hothouse on wheels." His proposal to leave the orange tree in Alaska as a token of friendship is a nebulous one but he admits it might not be a practical one because of the climatic conditions. Since his arrival in New York, Stubbs has settled down to 20 hours of tree watching each day. He doesn't dare leave his tree unattended for more than four hours at a time for fear of sudden changes in the climate. Advertising offers have been scorned by Stubbs because he feels that it wouldn't be right to bring his tree through towns in a truck with gaudy advertising painted on its sides. His purpose in taking the tree to Alaska is to introduce citrus fruit culture into hobby there.

Philbrick, director of motor vehicles, that July 1 has been set as the date for cancellation of such licenses. The first call for voluntary surrender of the old type licenses was issued several weeks ago and many thousands of persons have been examined, Philbrick said. However, a definite deadline had not been set until today. “This is a step in the interest of safety since we feel there should be some check-up on persons who have been driving without any examination for 13 years,” Philbrick said. “The legislature provided for this when the law was changed in 1937 making all licenses good for four year periods and calling for the cancellation of all old outstanding licenses. There is no charge.” Holders of 1928 and 1929 licenses also are to face definite cancellation dates later, he said, adding that all good-until-revoked permits will be replaced by August 1941.

Farley's talk dealt with public relations in business. He encouraged business men to give thought to other things besides the actual selling of their merchandise. One of the most important things a merchant must do, he pointed out, is to sell his institution to the public. This can be done through proper public relations, Farley said.
