Growers Register Protest On Citrus Price Cellings Former protest against the recent OPA decision denying any increase in price ceiling on oranges and grapefruit has been filed by the board of directors of California Fruit Growers Exchange, with the Office of Price Administration. It is reported that similar action is being taken by Florida and Texas shipping organizations and by some individual shippers in citrus producing areas. "We recognize the necessity for price ceiling schedules to avoid spiral of inflation and want to see the general program successful," explained Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the exchange, "but we feel that there are definite inequities in the application of the present ceiling regulations that should be corrected. The adjustment we are asking would not permit the price of oranges and grapefruit to be unreasonably high to the consumer." Since the Exchange represents over 14,500 California and Arizona citrus growers, this protest is on behalf of a majority of he industry. The principal inequity referred to by Armstrong is the manner in which the OPA has computed the ceiling price on oranges and grapefruit. The anti-inflation act Rotarians Hear Post War Plans Monday's luncheon session of Anaheim Rotarians, conducted by President Robert H. Boney in Elks clubhouse, provided an interesting discussion of possible post-war developments provided by Frederick T. Chemberlen, well known county educator of the Fullerton school and junior college system. Chemberlen, introduced by Melbourne A. Gauer of the local educational field, advanced his view of the need of a post-war alliance between the four great democracies of United States, Great Britain, China and Russia, not only to preserve peace but to develop world resources. As founda- Figures Are Given On Sums Paid County Aged Needy Orange county's needy received aid to the number of 3,184 individuals during the month of January, today stated California Taxpayers' association in its release of relief trends and current expansion of the aged aid program in the state. The number for the first month of 1943 was a slight decrease over that of January 1942, when aid was extended 3,349 persons. Figures represented by the aid totaled $115,728 in January of the current year, as compared with $120,499 in January, 1942. A total of $1,424,077 was paid out to Orange county's aged during the 12 months ending January 31, 1943. About half of this aid came from federal funds; one fourth from the state, and one fourth from the county, the association stated. During the 12 month period ending January 31, 1943, a total of $68,687,398 was paid the need aged in the entire state, a sum also made up from federal, state and county finances. Records quoted by the Tax association showed that in November, 1942, California paid out 37 per cent more than any other state in the Union in Since the Exchange represents over 14,500 California and Arizona citrus growers, this protest is on behalf of a majority of he industry. The principal inequity referred to by Armstrong is the manner in which the OPA has computed the ceiling price on oranges and grapefruit. The anti-inflation act passed last October provided that the ceiling price should be computed on whichever was the higher of "(1) the parity or comparable price adjusted for grade, location or seasonal differentials or (2) the highest price received by the producers from January 1 to September 15, 1942." The OPA has computed the ceiling on the comparable price basis but used the prices for the period 1933-41 in the computation. "We are asking that the OPA compute the ceiling on the parity price for the period of 1919-29 or on the basis of the highest adjusted price for the period of January 1 to September 15, 1942, since we believe that the present interpretation of the regulation is not in accord with the basis used for other commodities," Armstrong said. "Ceilings on basic commodities and many others were computed on the basis of parity for the period 1919-29, and we believe that the ceiling on oranges should be computed in the same manner." Smeltzer Member Heads MWD Board Annual election held Monday by Orange County Water district placed Vernon C. Heil of Smeltzer in the president's post, succeeding Dian Gardner of Orange, who was not a candidate for reelection. Elected with Heil were Ralph McFadden of Placentia, vice president, and W. W. Hoy of Santa Ana, temporary secretary. Prominent among matters considered in the annual report was the suggestion that Army camps and industries using quantities of water give preferences to the MWD water from the Colorado river, thus relieving heavy demands upon the water resources of the Santa Ana river basin. The report cited the relief afforded when Camp Haan changed from its use of the basin supply to MWD water give preference to the war developments provided by Frederick T. Cheberlen, well known county educator of the Fullerton school and junior college system. Cheberlen, introduced by Melbourne A. Gauer of the local educational field, advanced his view of the need of 'a post-war alliance between the four great democracies of United States, Great Britain, China and Russia, not only to preserve peace but to develop world resources. As foundation for his talk, he dwelt upon three great crises in world development, beginning with the history of ancient Rome and the power of the Roman Empire. He went on to explain the dominance as exemplified by Britain's rise to dominion, and asserted that modern geo-political power to be exerted by post war alliances, represented the logical development of both. Before the meeting closed, Postmaster Louis Hoskins talked briefly on the annual Red Cross drive, asking full cooperation from all Rotarians in raising the city's quota of $12,400. March Tire Quotas Are Announced Fifty per cent increase in Southern California's quota for truck recap tires as listed for March by Frank D. Finch, OPA tire rationing specialist for the Southland, showed an increase for Orange county's allotment to 476 recaps for the month as compared with 390 allowed in February. The mark for Grade 1 truck tires remained practically unchanged but the quota of tubes showed a slight increase. The county's passenger tire quote showed a decided increase to 269 as compared with 198 allowed in February in the grade I category, Grade 2 showed little change but Grade 3 declined from the February quota of 1423 to March figures of 816. The grades indicate the mileage rations, Grade 1 for 1000 miles or more monthly; Grade 2 from 560 to 1000 miles, and Grade 2 for 560 miles or less monthly. Policemen Asked To Pistol Range Police Chief Teed L. Wilder and his men have been invited to take part in pistol practice tomorrow at 9 o'clock at the Fullerton range. LeRoy Lyons During the 12 month period ending January 31, 1943, a total of $68,687,398 was paid the need aged in the entire state, a sum also made up from federal, state and county finances. Records quoted by the Tax association showed that in November, 1942, California paid out 37 per cent more than any other state in the Union in old age aid. The month's total was $5,677,776, paid to 154,481 persons, as compared with Illinois, the next highest, who paid $4,-143,716 to 150,811 persons. As a relief measure against increased taxation, the association advocated purging the rolls of all but those in actual need, declaring "Old people who can work should be encouraged to do their part in the present need for manpower... California should not be forced to carry any heavier total burden for aid to the aged." S.A. Businessman Named Purchasing Agent For County Resignation yesterday of County Purchasing Agent Eugene Fenelon and appointment of Charles H. Chapman as his successor in office, was a sudden move in county activities that came unexpectedly to everyone except those in official circles. That the supervisors were prepared for Fenelon's resignation was indicated by its prompt acceptance and the immediate announcement of the new appointment, following the weekly session in the county court house of the board of supervisors. Charles H. Chapman is a well-known lumberman of Santa Ana, and as a former member of the board of supervisors is entirely conversant with business affairs relating to county government. He has served as a member of Santa Ana city council and as negotiator for the county flood control district in acquisition of lands for Prado dam and reservoir. Fenelon, whom he now succeeds in the county purchaser's office, has held that post for the past half dozen years. Prominent among matters considered in the annual report was the suggestion that Army camps and industries using quantities of water give preferences to the MWD water from the Colorado river, thus relieving heavy demands upon the water resources of the Santa Ana river basin. The report cited the relief afforded when Camp Haan changed from its use of the basin supply to MWD water give preference to the of upward of 100 miner's inches." Policemen Asked To Pistol Range Police Chief Teed L. Wilder and his men have been invited to take part in pistol practice tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock at the Fullerton range. LeRoy Lyons will be present to instruct. Consolidated Engineer Meets With Chamber of Commerce Directorate That enthusiasm with which Anaheim Chamber of Commerce is meeting the challenge of industry, and securing for this city such valuable new enterprises as the Essex Wire corporation and the new decentralization branch of Consolidated Aircraft, was evidenced yesterday when almost the entire directorate met for one of the spring's busiest sessions. It was an important luncheon session in Marigold cafe for various reasons, chief one being the presence of W. R. McCreary, engineer with Consolidated. Although he made no formal address, McCreary outlined his company's program for orientation and integration of work of the new Anaheim branch, and gave much information as to plans in the course of an informal forum which he conducted. The Anaheim branch plant will be devoted in the main, he stated, to the manufacture of Plexiglass, the synthetic product used as a safety measure instead of glass in the manufacture of planes. The plant, to be in operation about the first of April, will employ about 80 per cent women, all of whom must make employment applications through the State Employment office on West Fifth street, Santa Ana. This emphasized decision promises to relieve the Chamber of Commerce of what has become a problem, explaining to would-be employees that it has no power to aid them in securing jobs. The plant will operate with two eight hour shifts, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and from 4 to 9 p.m. and will employ 75 to a shift when running at its maximum capacity. It will operate under strict military regulations and will not be open to the public, McCreary stated. President A. C. Riutcel and Secretary John M. Johnston had gratifying news to reveal to the directors, in that the Chamber's appeal to the California Chamber of Commerce for an Anaheim representative on the State Highway commission, had borne fruit. With the appeal supported by William H. Spurgeon Jr. of Santa Ana, executive member for Orange county, the state chamber appointed Supervisor James A.

A 424,077 was paid out to county’s aged during the ending January 31, but half of this aid came from funds; one fourth state, and one fourth county, the association of the 12 month period January 31, 1943, a total 198 was paid the need entire state, a sum also from federal, state and Frances.

Records quoted in association showed member, 1942, California per cent more than state in the Union in Kidhood Is Happy Reason Why, Circus Is Coming “Hey Skinnay! The circus is coming!” That time-hallowed cry of kidhood is ringing through Anaheim Boyville with the posting of the first circus notices of the season, Arthur Brothers’ Circus, due to show here Thursday afternoon and evening, March 11, at Patt and Olive street. Latest ruling of ODT that circuses will be permitted to operate this season, was happy news to childhood. The ruling provides however, that if they move by rail, their itineraries must be approved by ODT, and that if they move over the nations highways they must take their chances on being ineligible for tires. But anyway the first circus is coming, so Boyville is happy. Second World War Veterans Are New Legionnaires One of the outstanding events in the history of Anaheim post American Legion distinguished Monday night’s meeting in the county’s needy received number of 3,184 individ-ual California Taxpayers’ in its release of relief to current expansion of program in the state.

Records quoted in association showed member, 1942, California per cent more than state in the Union in Archbishop Holds Confirmation For St. Boniface Sunday morning's 11 o'clock mass at St. Boniface Catholic church was an important event, for it was followed by confirmation rites administered to the largest class accepted by the church in two years, 141 individuals. Archbishop J. C. Cantwell of the Los Angeles Diocese, administered the sacrament of confirmation after having delivered the sermon during Mass sung by the Rev. Fr. Francis Keane, assistant to the Rev. Fr. Henry W. Gross, pastor of St. Boniface church. Twenty-one adults and 120 children, 40 of whom were students at St. Catherine's Military school, comprised the class. Assisting in the impressive and beautiful service of confirmation were the Rev. Fr. Gross and his co-pastors, the Rev. Frs. Keane and Michael Galvin; two former St. Boniface assistant pastors, the Rev. Charles O'Carroll of Lynwood and the Rev. John Quantanens of Downey, and pastors of Orange county Catholic churches at Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. All were luncheon guests afterwards of the Rev. Fr. Gross Homecomers Find Food Situation Is More Complex Returning to their California home after a several month absence Mr. and Mrs. Earl Silz and their children, Bill and Jaquelyn, 119 East North street have discovered that food rationing here in their home state is much more complex problem than in Florida where they have spent the past six months. “Needless to say we are a happy to be home again although we had a really marvelous winter in Florida,” declared Mrs. Silz. The family spent the time at the Winterhaven home while Ms. Silz was engaged on business matters pertaining to the by-product plant of the E. A. Silz Corporation located at nearby Lake Alfred. While absent, the family experienced what Floridans termed “the finest winter with the fewest tourists” in many years. Florida declared the Anaheimers rank high in patriotism but is seemingly far less affected by the war situation than is California. Although two large flying fields at Lakeland and at Orlando, a comparatively close to Winter haven, there was never the pr Second World War Veterans Are New Legionnaires One of the outstanding events in the history of Anaheim post American Legion distinguished Monday night's meeting in the post clubrooms in the city hall. For Commander Kenneth B. Rigby and his staff conducted initiation rites whereby two veterans of the Second World War were admitted to the ranks of the seasoned veterans of the First World War of a quarter century ago. Tommy Lloyd and Don Ramella were the initiates whose experiences in military life gained them admission to the honored ranks. In their honor was a program of keen interest in which Sgts. Don Stonebraker, Joe Bowman and Ralph Decker of the Marine Air Corps, took prominent part. The three in short talks, gave a vivid account of experiences at Guadalcanal where they served the planes at Henderson Field. All are now stationed at El Toro. In addition to admitting the present World War veterans to their ranks, Legionnaires were unanimous in approval of National Executive committee recommendations that the Legion constitution be amended to provide for such membership. Vice-Commander Henry Baxter reported that the post membership now numbers 194, and predicted an even greater increase before the close of the year. City officials, BPOE members and other interested friends who were present for the program, remained to share the refreshment interval planned by Fred Baumberger. Air Base May Use MWD Water By First of October Colorado river water is expected to be available for use of Santa Army Air Base by early autumn according to Dian R. Gardner, president of Orange County Water district, thereby relieving a heavy drain on the Santa Ana basin supply. The Metropolitan Water district pipeline from Santa Ana to Assisting in the impressive and beautiful service of confirmation were the Rev. Fr. Gross and his co-pastors, the Rev. Frs. Keane and Michael Galvin; two former St. Boniface assistant pastors, the Rev. Charles O'Carroll of Lynwood and the Rev. John Quantanens of Downey, and pastors of Orange county Catholic churches at Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach. All were luncheon guests afterwards of the Rev. Fr. Gross in the parish house. Freedom Theme Developed By Guest Speaker Knowledge, obedience, discipline and loyalty, four of the essential constituents of freedom, were points stressed in the fine address given by Dr. W. O. Trueblood of La Habra, for Kiwanis club members at their meeting in Elks clubhouse. Dr. Charles Schutz, so soon to report for active duty as a lieutenant with the U.S. Navy, presided over the meeting. The guest speaker was introduced by Harry I. Horn, lieutenant governor of Kiwanis Division four. Dr. Trueblood, a former pastor of Whittier Friends church and also Indianapolis Friends church, has traveled extensively abroad as well as in this country, representing the national organization of his church. He was accompanied to the club meeting by his son, Stanley Trueblood of Whittier, a past president of the local club. In citing the four outstanding implications of true freedom the speaker drew many apt parallels ending with a patriotic presentation of loyalty, the "motivation around which freedom revolves." In the United States, the center of loyalty has been the church and all that it stands for, he declared, reminding his audience that the church is the first thing that dictators seek to crush. In addition to the interesting talk, Kiwanians enjoyed a solo by Willard Bassett, member of Santa Ana Kiwanis club. Many Local Youths Examined By Fullerton Board While absent, the family experienced what Floridans termed "the finest winter with the fewest tourists" in many years. Florida declared the Anaheimers, rank high in patriotism but is seemingly far less affected by the war situation than is California. Although two large flying fields at Lakeland and at Orlando, a comparatively close to Winter haven, there was never the preponderance of the military as this state. This undoubtedly had its effect upon food supplies, for there was no restriction for civilians on builer, meats of every variety, free vegetables and other foods which have been so difficult to secure here. The two young people of this home attended school during the absence but have now resumed classwork in the local schools, B at Union high and Jacquelyn Horace Mann. DDS Association Sets Date For Annual Conclave All Anaheim dentists have been invited to participate in the "Dentistry in Wartime" program of the California State Dentistry association conference to be held April 1 to 14 in Fairmont hotel San Francisco, with Dr. George Hahn presiding. Dr. Edward J. Lattig, conference chairman, has announced Monday, April 1 as "Army and Navy Day" with "Dentistry Time of War" as the theme, and Army and Navy Clinics as part of the demonstration program. Gue speakers on that day will include Dr. Francis J. Conley, president of Southern California Dental association; Lt. Col. Eugene E. Manning and Dr. Lyman Heacock of the Federal Security Agency, U. S. Public Health service. Coupled with invitations to local dentists to take part in the "Wartime Conference" was suggested that reservation should be made at the earliest possible date in order to insure accommodations at war-crowded San Francisco hotels. Co. Peace Officers Hold Election MWD Water By First of October Colorado river water is expected to be available for use of Santa Army Air Base by early autumn according to Dian R. Gardner, president of Orange County Water district, thereby relieving a heavy drain on the Santa Ana basin supply. The Metropolitan Water district pipeline from Santa Ana to Laguna Beach will be completed by early October according to terms of the contract. There has been no definite agreement that the Air Base will use MWD water, Gardner stated, but military authorities have indicated that it would be used if no expense were entailed in building lines. The Air Base already has a line extending to the MWD right of way which passes between the Air Base and the county airport, so apparently there are no obstacles to be overcome in the matter. Prelate Announces Lenten Fasting Rules Are Relaxed Catholics of the Los Angeles Diocese, which includes the Anaheim area, will be given a partial dispensation from the customary Lenten fasting and abstinence, according to an announcement made by Bishop John J. Cantwell. Reason for the announcement was given as the present food rationing coupled with the added strain of war-time employment. Under the dispensation, only three days during the Lenten season, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday until noon, will be observed as strict fast days, the prelate announced. Many Local Youths Examined By Fullerton Board More than 30 young men of Anaheim were included on the March 1 group of selectees from Fullerton Selective Service board 174, offering themselves to the country's military service. Included on the Anaheim list was William ("Bill") Hoffman of the Anaheim Gazette staff, who registered among the community's 19-year-olds.

Officers elected with Sylvester include Co-stable George Bartley of Orange vice-president; Tom Murphie secretary-treasurer; Hunts Leach, sergeant-at-arms; Hermann Pause and C. L. Neuschwang trustees. Two County Men Missing in Action Casualty lists released this week by the War Department brought sorrow to two Orange county homes. Mrs. Pearl Clark, 336 West Trueslow avenue Fullerton, was notified that her husband, Carl Donald Clark, the U.S. Navy was missing action. Even more tragic definite was the word received by Mrs. Mary Jones of Placentia that her son, PFC William Jones was killed in action. The was in the Southwest Pacific area... INETTE In Helping Red Cross Don't Do Your Bit Do Your Best MARCH 4, 1943 NUMBER 23 Necomers Find HIGH SITUATION MORE Complex High hopes are being entertained in the Arthur H. Shipkey home, 1008 East Center street, that the high school son of the home, Gerald Wade ("Jerry") Shipkey, may receive the congressional appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point. For young Shipkey, prominent in Union high school athletics, was one of three Orange county youths named as alternates to the four West Point appointments made by Congressman John Phillips of the new 22nd Congressional district. The other county alternates were Ainsworth Frederick Moore of Garden Grove and Robert Traverse Harbough of Santan Ana with George R. Pippin, Indio; George J. Denzler Jr., and Allen L. Learmouth, Riverside, completing the list of six alternates permitted Congressman man Phillips. His appointees, who took preliminary examinations given by the Civil Service Commission on February 6, were Clarence M. Mendenhall III of La Habra; Pvt. William Howard Grisham of Santa Ana; David E. Pierson of Riverside, and John H. Shaw of El Centro. They took West Point entrance examinations on Tuesday. State Conclave For 4-H Clubs Comes In April Possibility looms that Miss Lucille Kelly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Kelly of Lincoln avenue, may be one of the county's 4-H club members to be honored by an invitation to take part in an annual conference to be held on the Berkeley campus April 19 to 22. Each county in California where the Agricultural Extension service of University of California maintains an office, has been asked to send two 4-H club leaders to the four-day event. Miss Kelly and Gerald Ulm of Tustin were Orange county's two All-Star 4-H club members for 1942, so should be the logical choice to represent Association Date For Annual Conclave Anaheim dentists have invited to participate in the "Bury in Wartime" program of California State Dental Association; Lt.

Supervisor Smith Heads Highway Assn Orange County Supervisor Willard Smith of Orange was installed as president of the Imperial Highway association as its annual meeting held Saturday in Yorba Linda. Norwalk's postmaster, L. L. Burke, retiring president, conducted installation ceremonies. Legal Fight Opens To Reduce Charges of Murder Attempts to reduce the murder charge filed against two Anaheim Mexican youths, Porfirio Peralta and Adolph Rangel, to that of manslaughter, are under way in Superior Judge G. K. Scovel's court. The murder charge was lodged in connection with the fatal stabbing of Arthur Espinoza in this city on December 19. Attorneys Robert Mize for Rangel, and N. C. Meyer for Peralta, recently filed motion for amendment of the murder charge, based upon contention that evidence received at the preliminary hearing for the two, was insufficient to support the charge. They contend that the killing was not premeditated, but occurred in a heat of passion engendered by a sudden quarrel occurring in a local alley, and therefore could be no more than manslaughter. Assistant District Attorney S. B. Kaufman of this city, is appearing for the prosecution. Attorneys for the defense are fighting for the reduced charge in an attempt to save the two youths from the gas chamber at San Quentin.
