Associated Farmers Condemn "Labor Rackets" In County Resolution Presented Supervisors Backs Up Citizen's Association In War Against 'Racketeering Elements' The Associated Farmers of Orange County stood beside the Citizens Association of Orange county in its war against the closed shop, hot cargo and secondary boycott early this week when the organization handed the county board of supervisors a resolution urging that tax money be used to benefit "free labor and free enterprise" and scoring the "communistic and racketeer-elements" in labor unions. President C. L. Ranney, of the Associated Farmers and Secretary George Graham of the organization, laid the resolution before the supervisors, who were commended in the resolution for their own "definite stand against the closed shop, hot cargo and secondary boycott," expressed a week ago. URGE ACTION The resolution opposed use of tax money "for the sole building of special privilege for communistic or racketeering interests," thereby referring to the demand of the Citizen's association that the county refuse contracts to business concerns who submit to the closed shop, hot cargo and secondary boycott practices, and thus discriminate against other firms and citizens of the county. The issue was raised before the supervisors last Tuesday, following an incident at the C. O. Sparks asphalt plant, northeast of Orange, when the plant refused to load trucks of the Foster Sand and Gravel company of Fullerton. Chamber Prepared For Entertainment At Annual Dinner Elaborate Program Set For Big Event Tonight; 350 Will Be Present Headlining an elaborate program tonight at the annual dinner meeting of the Anaheim chamber of commerce to be held at the Elks' clubhouse will be Ed "Rookie" Lewis, celebrated master-of-ceremonies, who will wield the gavel over the program, according to President R.

Johnston secretary of the chamber, who closed reservations for the dinner at noon today. During the evening 109 new members of the chamber will be asked to stand. President Boney has promised there will be no long routine speeches. Claiming that now is the time for all planning agencies to prepare for problems that are predicted to follow this period of emergency and up-set world conditions, L. Deming Tilton, administrative officer of the state planning board and regional chairman of the National Resources Planning board, pointed out that if industry is unable to meet the need of this emergency the governmental agencies will take over. Man power, housing, recreation and many other problems will need the careful direction of well-informed planners, according to Tilton. The Public Work Reserve is now engaged in this problem in an effort to have planned fundamental and valuable public works which can be undertaken immediately following the present emergency. The speaker was introduced by President Wright, while greetings from the city of Anaheim were extended by Mayor Charles Pearson. Guests introduced were former Governor Frank Merriam, James A. Baker, county supervisor from the third district; Mrs. Ella Atchley, B. F. Schrimpton and Mrs. L. S. Baca, commissioners from Los Angeles; Mrs. R. A.

CHurch Moderator Guest Speaker at Communion Service National Church Leader Says Indifference to Christ is Deplorable Dr. Herbert Booth Smith, moderator of the United States Presbytery, addressed a capacity attendance at the 5 o'clock vesper services Sunday in the Presbyterian church of Anaheim. "Indifference on the part of the Christian people today, when opportunities for Christian enterprise and Christian living are so apparent on every hand, is deplorable," Smith pointed out. "The need of Christian stewardship in church relationship to our nation, the need of prayer, the need of sincerity and loyalty on the part of the educated Christian workers; this and much more is the cry of the churches of the world today in these times of national emergencies and defense programs in a world torn and ripped with disbelief and fear." Near-Cremation Of Anaheim Man In Auto Crash Heroic Effort Fails; Essary Sacrifices Own Life In Vain Effort Heroism, seldom seen on a public highway, last Thursday night caused the near-cremation of Truman H. Essary, 715 South Helena street, when in vain effort he sought to avoid a head-on collision with an oncoming auto in Brea Canyon, west of Pomona. As near as can be ascertained Essary, driving a truck heavily loaded with oranges, was proceeding on his side of the highway when he became aware of an auto bearing directly at him. Trying to avoid a crash he steered the truck toward an earth cliff, the oncoming auto never deviating from its course. It is supposed that the truck-cliff and auto-truck crashes took place at the same time, the result being the telescoping of the truck cab with Essary being pinned behind the steering wheel and the gas tank bursting into flame. A strong wind blowing through the cut quickly fanned the flames toward Essary, who died in the inferno before aid could reach him. Mrs. Zaida P. Le Claire, 45, of 736 E. Holt Ave., Pomona, a passenger in the car, succumbed to injuries received in the accident after she was taken to the Pomona Valley hospital. Still in a critical condition in the hospital is John J. Le Claire, son of the dead woman, who reportedly was driving the car that crashed into the track which Essary was operating. Essary, an employee of the Anaheim Truck-and Transfer company for 22 years, is survived by the widow, Ola E. Essary; two daughters, Doris and Shirley, all of Anaheim. Other relatives include three sisters and a brother. Kuchel to Address Republican Women Senator Thomas H. Kuchel will be the principal speaker at the pride and Christian living are so apparent on every hand, is deplorable," Smith pointed out. "The need of Christian stewardship in church relationship to our nation, the need of prayer, the need of sincerity and loyalty on the part of the educated Christian workers; this and much more is the cry of the churches of the world today in these times of national emergencies and defense programs in a world torn and ripped apart with disbelief and frustration," Dr. Smith said in pointing out the every present Christian educational opportunities. "Let us be gentle and give Christ His place in the world," he urged in closing. Dr. Smith was introduced by Rev. O. Scott McFarlane, pastor of the First Presbyterian church in Santa Ana. Rev. Thomas Holmes Walker, San Clemente, former pastor of the Anaheim church, offered the evening prayer following impressive baptismal ceremonies officiated by Dr. Smith. Visiting church leaders were Dr. Ewing S. Hudson, moderator of Los Angeles and pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Long Beach; Rev. Robert McAulay, pastor of the Orange church and former member of the Anaheim church Sunday school and church, and Rev. Don Earl Boatman, president of the Anaheim Ministerial association and many other pastors of Southern California cities. California Oranges In Strong Demand; Sales Volume Large Stimulated by absence of competing fruits and by warmer weather, a strong demand for California oranges is continuing although the volume of sales is much heavier than normal for early October.
