One of Anaheim's leading businessmen voiced an idea this week that we consider one of the most interesting plans yet proposed in this era of food conservation and lustry cries from our national government for increased production of foods. His idea is this: That he should lease five acres of good productive land near the city, and divide it up into small garden tracts for himself and his employees. Each employee would agree to devote a certain amount of his leisure time daily, to planting and cultivating his plot of ground, and the vegetables thus raised would be sufficient for the entire plant staff. Now we call that an Idea—with a capital I. It calls up a whole series of mental pictures of what might be accomplished in addition to growing garden "sass." There is the community idea for one thing. Nothing brings individuals, peoples or nations together so closely as working for a common cause. If a whole group of men—and women—were to get out in the open air and dig among their tomatoes, their celery and beans and cucumbers, they would have the joy of competition as well as that of making two blades of grass grow where but one grew before. Think of the biggest tomato, the earliest mess of green beans. Think of the benefits to be derived from leisure time spent in such healthful work, instead of wearing out rubber by trips to beach or mountains. Think of the fun of family parties, with garden work climaxed by a picnic "down where the corn and taters grow." And think of the financial gain derived from supplying other less fortunate folk, with the overflow from one's own garden patch! We hope you do it, Mister Businessman. And we hope that others will follow your example. Long may your garden grow! Production Credit Association Will Extend Farm Loans Citrus growers and farmers in the Anaheim area found interest in Farm Credit Administration whose headquarters are at Berkeley. So far this year it has loaned a sum in excess of $459,000 to county growers, and Crill has indicated that advances made during the remaining months of 1942 would top this sum. He pointed out that farmers generally are cooperating with the governments.

Production Credit Association Will Extend Farm Loans Citrus growers and farmers in the Anaheim area found interest this week in an announcement made by John W. Crill, president of Orange County Production Credit association, that the association stands ready to issue loans to farmers to aid them in increasing their production of essential foods. The association is a federal agency, operating through the SAM L. COLLINS Member Calif. Legislature Attorney at Law Chapman Bldg. Fullerton Farm Credit Administration whose headquarters are at Berkeley. So far this year it has loaned a sum in excess of $459,000 to county growers, and Crill has indicated that advances made during the remaining months of 1942 would top this sum. He pointed out that farmers generally are cooperating with the government's request to increase production of "food for freedom." The Production Credit association has been in existence for nine years, during which period it has loaned to Orange county growers, the sum of $4,246,676. The bulk of this, according to Crill, financed citrus, beans and livestock producers, with certain sums diverted to growers of field crops. Farm buildings, machinery, granaries and storage bins also come under the classification of things for which loans may be advanced.

WAVES OF TOUCH Like a succession of tidal waves, gathering force and momentum as they move, groups of young men from the Anaheim area are appearing for preliminary physical examinations here at the city hall, and departing from the local bus station, for their final examinations in Los Angeles, preparatory to induction into the U.S. Army. Yesterday morning, Mayor Charles A. Pearson and American Legion Commander Kenneth H. Rigby headed a group of citizens who assembled early to bid God speed to 38 young men from the Anaheim area, departing for Los Angeles for their final physical examinations. The list of those accepted for service will be ready when these examinations are completed. An interesting feature of the occasion was the presence of a pair of identical twins, Ray and Roy Booher of Buena Park. Ray was in the current list, so his twin, Roy, applied for admission in order that the brothers might remain together as long as possible. Men were selectees from the call issued a month ago. The latest call brought 133 selectees together Monday night at draft board headquarters in the city hall, where they received preliminary medical examination according to Glen A. Peck, selective service board clerk. Five physicians were present to give this examination, Drs. Charles Irvin, Harold C. Neslund, George W. Koch and John A. Larson of this city, and Dr. John C.

While the advocates of the Civic Center polled 413 against 328 for the opposition they fell short 81 votes of the two-thirds required to authorize a bond election. The people have spoken and the trustees can now proceed with their original plan of erecting a thirty thousand dollar city hall on the site of the present building at the corner of South Claudina and Center streets, thus maintaining title to the ground. The principal portion of the site was donated to the city by Joseph Helmsen with the stipulation that it should be used exclusively as a site for a city hall. It is understood that work on the new building will begin at once. Already there is talk of a park, as everybody recognizes the need of one. Many sites are mentioned and it is believed one can be purchased and a park created without burdening the city with a bond issue.
