All California Crops Show Benefit From Heavy Rains of Recent Date Crop situations in California have been summarized in excellent manner by the Public Relations department of the Santa Fe Railway company. Conditions prevailing over the state generally at this season will interest ranchers of the Anaheim area. Heavy rains in mid-January brought relief from threatened drought conditions over most of California. While crops, especially those in the southern half of the state, were damaged somewhat by floods and high winds, the rain was of great benefit, far offsetting the losses, which were light. Movement of small crops continued through the month in the northern areas. Shipments included carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery and other vegetables. Planting of lettuce, beets, carrots, turnips and other vegetables featured activity in the Sacramento valley. Less asparagus will be harvested in this district during 1943, as compared with last year, because PENNEY'S Make it Yourself and Save!

Blended Spun RAYON much of the acreage is being devoted to other crops, principally sugar beets and grain. Lack tin for canning white asparagus this year will cut production that crop. There will be the usual amount of green asparagus shipped to eastern points at the beginning of the season, but when the varieties open they expect to take the entire output to satisfy a government demand. About the same acreage will be planted to tomatoes and sugar beets as in 1942. Potatoes are moving out of storage from the Delta district in fairly volume, digging being about completed. Growers are busy planting the early onion crop which usually comprises around 2,000 acres. There will be no further movement of celery from this section until the latter part of February when the new crop comes on. Grapes continue to move from storage in the San Joaquin valley. Growers are busy pruning vines but the work is behind schedule due to a shortage of labor, a situation which applies to the entire fruit growing industry. Planting of potatoes is well along in the Edison-Avin and Shafter-Wasatch districts. The soil is in fine condition and the potato acreage may be as large as that of last year.

SUPPLIERS FOR THE HOME FRONT* City Teachers To Register Ration Applicants (Continued from page 1) of commercially canned, bottled or frozen fruits, vegetables, juices, soups or dried fruits. Official announcement has been made that retail sales of such foods will be suspended at midnight Saturday, February 20, to remain "frozen" until rationing actually begins on March 1. This time period will permit markets to stock their shelves with supplies in readiness for rationing. The first ration period will cover the month of March, and each holder of Ration Book 2 who has no more than the permissible limit of five cans of commercially packaged fruits or vegetables, will have 48 points to "spend" for the rationed goods when retail selling is resumed March 1. Each market and grocery store will display the official table of point values for information of customers. These values will vary according to the relative scarcity of the different foods and also according to the size of the container for canned, bottled and packaged goods. Assurance has been given that all items will have the same point value throughout the nation. Stamps for the months following March will be used in alphabetical order but the exact number of points to be allowed will not be disclosed immediately. Points for April rationing will be announced about the middle of March. To Those In Service HOME ON FURLOUGH Home on a fortnight's furlough from his duties in Ogden Interment camp at Ogden, Utah, Cpl. Perry H. Doepke is renewing many old friendships while a guest in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Doepke, 220 North Olive street. Cpl. Doepke received his advance in rating from Private First Class, just after his transfer from Coolidge, Ariz., a few weeks ago to the Ogden station. He expressed his pleasure in being home and enjoying "mother's cooking," but was amazed at the food scarcity here compared with the plentiful supply of meats, butter, etc. in Utah. ADVANCED RATING That advance to his first lieutenancy has come to Lieut Robert ("Bob") Fluor, now on active duty in the Hawaiian Islands, is the gratifying news that has reached the young Anaheimer's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. E. Fluor, 700 North Clementine street. The Army Air Corps flyer received his second lieutenant's commission and his silver wings last July at Roswell Field in New Mexico. He left for overseas service late in August. A graduate of Union high school, Lieut. Fluor was ready for his senior year's studies in engineering at USC, but enlisted for military service immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack. COAST ARTILLERYMAN It may seem a far cry from handling orange shipments to training with the Coast Artillery. But that was the step taken by Pfc. Marvin E. Ross, former manager of Associated Anaheim Growers packing house, who is now with the Coast Artillery in the Hawaiian Islands. Pfc. Ross SAD NEWS ARRIVES Lloyd Anderson, 507 Broadway, yesterday received telegram acquainting him with the sad news of the death Truesdale, Mo. of his sister, H. L. Southern. Funeral arrangements had not yet been completed and Mr. Anderson is not certain that he will be able to go for the services. AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION During the year 1942, Los Angeles county's aircraft company out-produced all of Germany's mre than doubled the entire put of Japan, according to "Dore C. Coleman, vice-president Northrop Aircraft, Inc., and co-man of the aviation committee." Los Angeles County Chamber Commerce.

Points for April rationing will be announced about the middle of March. southern part of the state. While the demand continues strong, processing of 15 to 18 per cent of the crop into juice for the armed forces may reduce the movement of fresh fruit to some extent. According to official estimates, the 1942-43 citrus crop, with the exception of lemons, will be considerably smaller than that of last year. Orange production, both Navel and Valencia, is estimated at 45,204,000 boxes, compared with 51,532,000 boxes in 1941-42. At the same tmie, lemons will show an increase—13,650,000 boxes, compared with 11,753,000 boxes. Recent rains in the southern districts benefited oats, wheat and barley, while farther north these crops, after a good start, are needing moisture. The range feed outlook is much the same. COAST ARTILLERYMAN It may seem a far cry from handling orange shipments to training with the Coast Artillery. But that was the step taken by Pfc. Marvin E. Ross, former manager of Associated Anaheim Growers packing house, who is now with the Coast Artillery in the Hawaiian Islands. Pfc. Ross is a nephew of Mrs. Edward Mills of Placentia avenue, whose son, Ted Mills, is a Canadian Air Force flyer now in England. NEW ANAHEIM WAAC When Major Richard W. Smith, WAAC recruiting officer for the Los Angeles district, administered the oath of allegiance to the latest group of WAACs inducted this week in that city, the Corps included an Anaheim girl, Miss Ada E. Rathvon, of the H. H. Rahvon home on Route 2. Miss Rathvon, a former bookkeeper for the McMahon Furniture company, will receive her military training at one of the three WAAC centers, ADVANCE IN RANK To Mrs. Mary Grace Spielfeld 511 East Broadway, has complied information that he Lawson Spielman, has now advanced to the rank of sergeant at Fourth Army Headquarters the Presidio in San Francisco. Spielman, who recently joyed a furlough here in his hood home while still Cpl. man, has been in military service less than a year. He is a graduate of Union high school and Fu-junior college, and was with Bank of America at Laguna Beach at the time of his enlistment. GAS makes his shells and weapon "That's why I’ll be glad to cooperate if we’re ever called up to use less heating gas during an emergency this winter." Yes, you know that natural gas has a rush job to do for Uncle Sam—not only in heat-treating shells, but in making ships, planes and tanks. And you know that war industry has first call—that there may come a time this winter, during a severe cold spell, for example, when you may be asked to use less gas for household heating. You’re ready for such a day, all set to cooperate the minute you may be told of an emergency. That’s pulling together—and that's winning! WHY THERE MAY BE A WARTIME FUEL-GAS EMERGENCY This winter the reserve supply of natural gas for Southern California, and our facilities for delivering it are the greatest known in history. So you may wonder why, if the supply is abundant, even a temporary fuel-gas emergency could ever occur. Here are the reasons: 1. Gas is doing a double-duty WARTIME job—with a network of pipelines designed for PEACETIME! 2. War Industry's demand for natural gas to speed the production of scores of war essentials has first call. 3. Wartime residential requirements have been greatly stepped up—along with the needs of new military establishments. 4. And most important—steel cannot be obtained to expand the present peacetime network of pipelines—because it is more vitally needed on other fronts. Under these wartime conditions, certain situations could occur this winter—such as extremes of weather—when the peacetime system of pipelines might not be equal to the task. Your cooperation in such a temporary emergency will be a war service of vital importance. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY IS VITAL TO WAR PRODUCTION...USE IT WIS Buy United States War Bonds and Stamps IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago February 21, 1918 Accepting Attorney General U.S. Webb's opinion as being the correct interpretation of the law regarding the referendum petition wherein he states that a petition must be filed within thirty days after the passage of a resolution of a legislation body, (and which time limit the protesting petitioners failed to observe) the board of city trustees at their special meeting Tuesday evening upn motion of Trustee Stark, seconded by Trustee Cook, and carried, voted to ignore the referendum petition filed with the clerk on Thursday evening. The board then instructed Engineer O.E. Steward to proceed at once to wreck the old structure as prescribed in the original resolution passed December 27th. This city hall controversy has been in the lime light for many months and would now appear to be settled so for as wrecking the old building is concerned. The trustees have in view the erection of a new municipal building. Ordinance No. 327 calling the general city election for April 8th was given first reading. On the 10th of every month Anaheim chapter of the Red Cross, ships to headquarters at San Francisco the articles manufactured by members during the preceding thirty days. On February 10th four cases containing the following were shipped: 55 bed shirts, 27 pairs pajamas, 101 pairs socks, 3 sweaters, 20 mufflers, 24 pairs wristlets, and 97 ambulance The country never looked more beautiful than it does now. The hills in this immediate vicinity and the mountains in the distance form a picture as delightful to the eye as any landscape that was ever impressed upon the imagination of the painter. Everywhere nature is adorned in her richest garb. The reason is one of unexamplied possibilities to the farmer. The seeded grain fields are coming forth in all their glory of luxuriant growth and the orchards are teeming with the bulging germs of promise or the golden spheres of mature fruition. There never was so wide an acreage of plowed and seeded ground in this lower country and the crops of 1893 will be beyond comparison the heaviest ever harvested. The weather is delightful, and no people under the sun have more cause for rejoicing than the people whose happy lot is cast in this cupremely favored section. Billy Berdrow is entitled to the belt for bringing in the largest four-horse load of oranges this season. One day last week he hauled in 114 boxes of the fruit from the Tombes orchards to the Southern Pacific depot. The weight was sixty-eight hundred, and Billy says he will overtop that before the season is over. The citizens of Olive recently held a meeting and decided to erect a schoolhouse.

Fullerton merchants have agreed to close all business houses at 9 o'clock on Saturday nights. This is a move that might be imitated by Anaheim business men with satisfactory results. Customers could soon adjust themselves to the new arrangement. Nobody would lose business and nobody be inconvenienced by the new arrangement. The city has been offered 17 cents a pound for brass and 20 cents for copper. At the power house a lot of old material accumulates and is classed as junk.

The Georgia Minstrels played to a large audience at the opera house Friday evening. The programme was good, the dancing notably so, but the singing especially that of the quartet, was not such as to call forth terms of unqualified praise. Their attempt at Dixon's celebrated song "Sleep, Baby, Sleep," was a revelation of wretchedness, but as the singers were suffering with colds their shortcomings were overlooked by the audience.
