Fred Dukes Slated For Legion Post Buena Park Man to Be Commander of Fifth Area for 1941 Fifth Area of the California American Legion will be led next year by Fred R. "Pop" Dukes of Buena Park as the result of action taken late last week by the Orange county Legion council in endorsing Dukes for the post of area commander. The endorsement of Dukes by the county group is tantamount to election, as the five counties comprising the area work under an agreement to rotate the commandership each year. Orange county's turn to have the commander is this year. Election to the office of area commander automatically makes the commander a vice commander of the state organization, it was pointed out. Dukes is well qualified for the post since he is a past commander of the Garden Grove and Bakersfield posts, past commander of the 21st district and serves on the state department commission of Boys' State. He has been active in legion affairs for a number of years.

"The recent announcement by Mayor LaGuardia of New York that a site in Manhattan has already been chosen for the market indicates that economies already adopted by some mass distributors may soon be widely applied to marketing in the eastern metropolis. The move is important to California producers because this state ships about 40,000 carlots of fresh fruits and vegetables to New York each year," McDaniel said. The cooperative association head declared Mayor LaGuardia's estimates of savings which the terminal would bring to growers and household buyers is upheld by federal surveys, and by the fact that experience has already demonstrated how direct handling methods can cut cartage charges, dealer margins, extra costs for unloading and sorting at railroad piers, spoilage due to too much handling and other costs of inefficiency. Wastes in handling produce in New York City are shown by a special U.S. Department of Agriculture report on "The Wholesale Fruit and Vegetable Markets of New York City," McDaniel pointed out. He said the report indicates that about $8,500,000 is unnecessary.
