Republicans Plan Week's Activities Fullerton and Costa Mesa to Stage Celebrations on Monday, Tuesday Outstanding events in the Orange county Republican campaign over the coming week are scheduled to be the Fullerton Young Republican celebration Monday and the Willkie Volunteer-sponsored conclave at Costa Mesa on Tuesday evening. Based on attendance at a previous meeting, an audience of at least 3,000 persons is expected for the Fullerton celebration expected to open with a broadcast of Candidate Wendell L. Willkie's Minneapolis speech from 7 to 7:30 o'clock. A monster torch light parade is slated to follow after which an open-air dance is to be held in the plaza before the North Spadra market. Thomas Bowen, a member of the Orange Willkie Democrat organization and Louis Gurney of Los Angeles are the scheduled speakers for the Costa Mesa gathering also expected to attract hundreds. On Friday evening of the present week California's veteran senator, Hiram Johnson, will be heard over station KNX on a national hookup. Johnson will tell the nation his reasons for supporting Willkie. October 23, named by the presidential nominee as "No Third Term Day" will be marked in Orange county by radio parties at which the anti-third-term address of Willkie will be heard. Almost On Friday evening of the present week California's veteran senator, Hiram Johnson, will be heard over station KNX on a national hookup. Johnson will tell the nation his reasons for supporting Willkie. October 23, named by the presidential nominee as "No Third Term Day" will be marked in Orange county by radio parties at which the anti-third-term address of Willkie will be heard. Almost every one of the numerous groups within both the Republican and anti-third term Democrat groups is planning to stage such a session, it is reported. Answering numberless queries, Republican leaders today stressed the fact that in the coming election anyone who desires may cast his ballot for the Republican candidate. The fact that an individual voted democratic in the primary does not effect the nature of the ballot to be cast in the general election. It is also pointed out that all who voted in the primary or general election in 1938 remain on the list of voting eligibles. Failure to cast a vote in the recent primary does not disfranchise the voter for the general election. Only those who failed to vote in both 1938 major elections and who have not registered since will find themselves unable to vote. Republican headquarters explained today. Josiah Smith, 66, Called by Death Friends of Mrs. E. F. Zimmer of Anaheim were grieved last Friday to learn of the sudden death of her father, Josiah Smith, 66, at his home at Brea.

Harry Grower of the Brea Baptist church officiating. Burial was made in Loma Vista Cemetery. Besides the daughter in Anaheim, Smith is survived by his wife, Martha B. Smith; three sons, Thomas B.

State’s Valencias Set Volume Mark Second Week in October Has Highest Record for Shipments A new volume record of California valencias has been established. Sales for the second week in October exceed all previous volume records for the comparable week. Reports from the California Fruit Growers Exchange indicate that the cooperative alone sold 1286 carloads of packed valencias, approximately three-fourths of the industry total during the week ending October 12. Prices continue to strengthen in spite of the heavy volume. Exchange valencia prices on Monday and Tuesday show further advance with indications that the volume will compare favorably with last week's record. “Our eastern sales offices report no arrivals of Florida oranges to date, and the few cars of Texas oranges show immaturity and fail to give consumer satisfaction,” states L. H. Wohlwend, Exchange orange sales manager. A few cars of Desert grapefruit have moved into the markets. Although the smaller sizes predominate, the reasonable opening prices in western markets should stimulate consumer interest, according to the Sunkist report. In addition to heavier shipments of good quality West Indian grapefruit, supplies from Texas and Florida are becoming more plentiful. Buyers are critical of Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB The writer is about ready to predict that the Santa Ana-Fullerton junior college grid battle on Thanksgiving day will be for the championship of the Orange Empire conference. The qualifying “about” can be erased tomorrow night if the Hornets are successful in their first conference start against Riverside. The game will be played at Fullerton. The two Orange county teams have definitely established themselves as contenders, along with Riverside, as the result of four consecutive practice game triumphs. Both have met tough foes and have to their credit, victories over the always tough Pasadena Bulldogs. The Tigers have acquired prominence as the result of ties with Weber college of Utah and Los Angles city college, and a 19 to 0 triumph over Pomona Jaysee in the conference opener last Friday. While Santa Ana, Fullerton and Riverside appear to be the top teams of the loop, San Bernardino and Chaffey can't be shunted aside without some consideration. San Bernardino nosed out Chaffey, 7 to 6, last Friday, but the ore-season records of the two teams haven't proved decisively whether the teams are equally strong or equally weak. More light will be thrown on the matter tomorrow night when Chaffey invades the Santa Ana bowl for a crack at the Dons. The Hornets looked like a great team in the second half against Pasadena, after giving only a so-so Three-run Home Defeats Analysis Pacific Construction For Beats Athletics Sunday by 5 to 4 Score First baseman Hall’s only day, a home run inside the field with two mates aboard in the inning, proved to much off-discap for the Anaheim Athletic overcome, and they bowed Pacific Construction Finance 5 to 4, last Sunday at La Park stadium. The big blow off the delivery of Skeet who drew the starting assist for the contest. Gregg also gave up single in the first and sixth rounds before giving way to Jim Cox who hurled shut-out ball in the final three innings. The round score off Gregg was result of Anaheim's error and the visitors a 5 to 1 advantage couldn't be wiped out by the athletics’ three-run outburst last half of the inning. Ek Krage, first sacker Athletics, also slapped home run inside the park, coming in the fifth round provided Anaheim’s first run Athletics showed over the runs through an error, a single by Dick Lan Franco outs, one of the infield varsity other a long out-field. Geisert hurled masterful the Pacific Construction club, limiting Anaheim to five hits, two of which made by Krage. His team fared but little better of Manager of Store Attends Conclave W. Stuard, manager of theheim J. C. Penney store, attended a convention of the company's officials in Los Angeles last day and Saturday. Charles W. Well, former manager of the here, and Mrs. Atwell attended the banquet Friday evening guests of Merle Strand, assistant manager here until his recent offer to El Monte as manager. Willkie Jamboree Planned Oct. 29 The mammoth "Willkie jamboree"icipated in by all the Orange City organizations working for selection of Wendell L. Willkie president of the United States November 5, will be presented Santa Ana municipal bowl on Tuesday evening, October 29. Charles Van Wyk, chairman of Veterans for Willkie organizes of Orange county will act as general chairman and will have as advisory committee and assistants leaders from all other groups. Jenn McCloud of Anaheim will lead a torch light parade through Santa Ana streets early in the morning, converging in the bowl there will be several unified bands, decorated floats and other demonstrations. The bowl program will include nationally known, life-long monocrat as the main speaker, talk by a number of Hollywood stars, some special music and other features. Additional events to be announced next week. Everyone in the county is invited to attend and Willkie enthusiasts are expected to fill the hall. A few cars of Desert grapefruit have moved into the markets. Although the smaller sizes predominate, the reasonable opening prices in western markets should stimulate consumer interest, according to the Sunkist report. In addition to heavier shipments of good quality West Indian grapefruit, supplies from Texas and Florida are becoming more plentiful. Buyers are critical of the early shipments from these two states because of poor eating quality due to immaturity. Lemon demand is a little stronger. A summary of last week's price average and volume indicates a slight gain in both. Dental Week to Be Marked Here Annual dental examination of school children in Anaheim will be conducted Wednesday, October 30, it was announced today. In collaboration with the Southern California State Dental Association meeting October 21, 22, and 23 atthe Ambassador hotel in Los Angeles, an official Dental Week has been proclaimed. Hoping to stiluate interest in dental care, the association has declared the observance of the Dental Week will begin October 21. Exhibits will be on display at the Ambassador the three days of the convention, and will be open to the public. Democratic Women To Meet Saturday The regular Saturday luncheon meeting of the Orange County Democratic Women's club will be held at the Rossmore cafe in Santa Ana at 12 noon. Mr. and Mrs. Chester A. Arthur, of San Luis Obispo, will be the special guests. Arthur is secretary of the state central committee for southern California. Mrs. Arthur and Mrs. Frank Harwood will be the speakers of the day. The meeting is open to the public. and Chaffey can't be shunted aside without some consideration. San Bernardino nosed out Chaffey, 7 to 6, last Friday, but the ore-season records of the two teams haven't proved decisively whether the teams are equally strong or equally weak. More light will be thrown on the matter tomorrow night when Chaffey invades the Santa Ana bowl for a crack at the Dons. The Hornets looked like a great team in the second half against Pasadena, after giving only a so-so exhibition during the first half. From where the writer sat, it looked like Carlin Coffman's work as the blocking quarterback was the biggest factor in the Hornet's touchdown drive in the third period. That chap appears to be the best blocker Fullerton has had in years. Comparison between Fullerton and Santa Ana on their respective showings against Pasadena is hardly convincing, because of the absence of the Bulldogs' ace quarterback, Jake Leicht, in the Fullerton game. His break-away running might have improved Pasadena's offensive against the Hornets, and his passing and kicking abilities were also missed. On the other hand, Fullerton failed to cash in on two good scoring opportunities largely because of mental and physical lapses. If the Hornets beat Riverside tomorrow they should go undefeated at least until Thanksgiving day. That day is too far ahead for any predictions. NEWSY NOTES Miss Marguerite Huberty from Los Angeles is in Anaheim on business and will be here about a month. She is connected with education facilities. An all day church rally and homecoming will be held this Sunday at the Church of Christ on Helena and Broadway. Announcements and invitations have been sent all over the state and a large crowd is expected. Mrs. J. A.

PHONE 4130 Three-run Homer Defeats Anaheim Pacific Construction Finance Beats Athletics Sunday. by 5 to 4 Score First baseman Hall's only hit of the day, a home run inside the park with two mates aboard in the third inning, proved to much of a han-cap for the Anaheim Athletics to overcome, and they bowed to the Pacific Construction Finance nine, to 4, last Sunday at La Palma Park stadium. The big blow came off the delivery of Skeet Gregg, who drew the starting assignment for the contest. Gregg also gave up single tallies in the first and sixth rounds before giving way to Jim Glimpse, who hurled shut-out ball during the final three innings. The sixth round score off Gregg was the result of Anaheim's error and gave the visitors a 5 to 1 advantage that couldn't be wiped out by the Athletics' three-run outburst in the last half of the inning. Ek Krage, first sacker for the athletics, also slapped out a home run inside the park, his blow coming in the fifth round and it provided Anaheim's first run. The athletics shoved over their final runs through an error, a walk, a single by Dick Lan Franco and two outs, one of the infield variety and one other a long out-field fly. Geisert hurled masterful ball for the Pacific Construction Finance club, limiting Anaheim to a total of five hits, two of which were made by Krage. His teammates ripped but little better off Gregg.
