Shall Orange Growers Surrender Rights? A NEW ORDER providing for volume regulations, or proration of inter-state shipments of California and Arizona oranges has been drawn up by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and will be presented at a hearing in Patriotic Hall, Los Angeles, April 13, to determine whether or not the order shall be put into effect. Everyone agrees that the old order, which had been in operation for eight years, failed to accomplish promised results. Unfortunately, the proposed new order eliminates none of the inequities existent or mistakes made under the old. Under it, other and worse inequities, abuses and mistakes are possible. If orange growers want a new order, the Mutual Orange Distributors suggests that the growers insist that it conforms to the following recommendations made by its Board of Directors: 1—We believe that any marketing agreement and order based on volume is impractical and inequitable unless all producing areas in the United States are included in the same type of regulation. 2—We are of the opinion that any marketing agreement and order should be approved by a secret vote of the individual growers. 3—If a prorate program is instituted, we believe that it should provide for a start and stop date of each variety by districts and should provide for elimination from fresh fruit channels of low grade fruit. 4—We believe that all fruit shipped should be under government inspection. 5—We favor termination of any marketing agreement annually. 3—If a prorate program is instituted, we believe that it should provide for a start and stop date of each variety by districts and should provide for elimination from fresh fruit channels of low grade fruit. 4—We believe that all fruit shipped should be under government inspection. 5—We favor termination of any marketing agreement annually. 6—Any marketing policy set up by the committee administering the prorate should provide for a public hearing before the beginning of each varietal season at which time the growers may express their opinions as to policy. ORANGE GROWERS SURRENDER CONTROL OF THEIR INDUSTRY The most striking difference between the proposed new order and the old is in the administration machinery. Control of marketing is taken out of the hands of the growers and is placed in the hands of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture who has the power to appoint as manager whom he pleases, and to establish his salary at any figure he may desire. This manager is given dictatorial powers, may be experienced or not, and he may be sent here from outside the state. The order gives this manager the right to use the growers' money as much of it as he pleases, in any manner he desires. The growers have no restraining power over his acts or his expenditures. Like the old order, the proposed new one is supposed to serve as a crutch for use in an economic emergency. No such emergency now exists. Under such circumstances wh should any group or individual attempt to force such regulations upon the industry? All things desirable of accomplishment under proration can be accomplished by the industry itself without any cost. As one prominent grower remarked over the radio recently: "This can be immediately achieved by an industry planning committee composed of the salesmen who actually sell the fruit." WAR EFFORTS MAY DISRUPT MARKETING PROGRAMS This country is at war. Under war conditions no volume prorate plan can function according to pre-arranged programs and fruit-movement schedules, which are subject to disruption by priorities given to transportation of troops, munitions and essential raw materials. The most valuable service the Federal Government can render to the citrus industry for the duration of the war is to guarantee that cars will be available to move the fruit and that fruit trains will move to market with no delays in schedules.

The orange grower’s investment is at stake. He is entitled to an opportunity to study any proposed federal order affecting his investment and to express his opinions about it through secret ballot where a majority of 75 per cent rules. So that the growers might have time to obtain unabridged copies of the proposed new order for study, the Secretary of Agriculture was requested by us to postpone the hearing, inasmuch as official notice of the hearing and the presentation of the order was not received before March 30. The request was denied. We urge that all growers, who agree with the policies above set forth, attend the hearing and express their opinions. Mutual Orange Distributors (A California Cooperative) REDLANDS, CALIFORNIA Building Permits Need Last Year Continued from Page 1) Instructions Issued On Correct Address For Mail Directed To Soldiers Overseas Emphasizing that some mail addressed to soldiers serving outside the United States was not being delivered despite every effort of Army and Postal authorities, instructions were issued today concerning the correct manner of addressing such mail. Before each soldier leaves the US, he is told what his Army post office number will be and he knows what his regiment is. Additionally essential is that letters be sent in care of the postmaster handling mail bound for that unit. Thus the correct form of address for soldiers serving in the Far East would be: Private Albert Smith Company B 908th Infantry Regiment A. P. O. No. 53 Care of Postmaster, San Francisco. In case of troops serving in Alaska, the letter should be sent "Care of Postmaster, Seattle." For troops in the European zone, mail should be addressed, "Care of Postmaster, New York."
