Tomato Plantings Are Urged By County War Board
An urgent plea to Orange county growers to speed up and extend tomato planting operations was made today by Ransler Baker, chairman of Orange County War Board, following a statement made by Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg, board member, to the effect that contracted acreage for canning tomatoes is behind what it was a year ago.
"Tomatoes are near the top in the priority list of essential crops and producers will be given preferential consideration for their production needs," Chairman Baker stated. "Price support of $27 per ton roadside delivery should stimulate production. Indications are that tomato plants are more plentiful than they were last year when the Japanese evacuation threatened to reduce available supplies."
Baker pointed out that the need of tomatoes and tomato products by the United Nations makes it advisable that California growers should proceed with farm operations to produce a maximum crop. Both growers and canners have been assured that the California
Kiwanis Speaker Discusses OPA Operations
Operations and set-up of price and legal sections and the rationing program of the OPA were outlined for Kiwanis club members Tuesday at their meeting in the Elks clubhouse, by Carl A. Stuewe, field coordinator of the Los Angeles OPA.
Introduced by Arthur Porter, executive chairman for North Orange county War Price and Rationing board, the speaker discussed the tremendous work of administering such boards, and gave high praise to local boards for the manner in which the work has been carried out in spite of limited funds with which to operate.
In speaking of the allocation and budgeting of processed foods, he explained that it was necessary for restaurants to register, since otherwise no individual would watch his rationing points, knowing that he could drop in at any restaurant and get a full meal. He advanced the opinion that OPA will depend upon the business man to aid in putting its program across, and told of the way in which efforts are being

should stimulate production. Indications are that tomato plants are more plentiful than they were last year when the Japanese evacuation threatened to reduce available supplies."
Baker pointed out that the need of tomatoes and tomato products by the United Nations makes it advisable that California growers should proceed with farm operations to produce a maximum crop. Both growers and canners have been assured that the California USDA War Board is supporting an early settlement of the difficulties which have beset canners this year.
It is believed that these problems will all be solved in the near future, and any seeming hesitation on the part of canners to contract for tomatoes, should not be interpreted by growers as a sign that tomatoes will not be needed. Such growers are urgently advised to continue with their plans to plant tomatoes in their usual quantities.
Child Is Killed In Accident On Verano Road
Two adults are in the hospital suffering from major injuries, and a little child is dead, as results of an accident occurring Sunday afternoon when Pvt. Andres Jiminez of Camp Haan, formerly of Anaheim R. D. 1, Box 21, is thought to have lost control of his car on Verano road.
The dead child is eight-year-old Adella Bonilla, and the injured are her mother, Mrs. Consuelo Bonilla of Garden Grove, and Andres Jiminez, both of whom are reported to be in serious condition at St. Joseph hospital.
According to reports of California Highway Patrol officers, Mrs. Bonilla and her little daughter were walking along the highway as Jiminez turned out to pass another car. His car assertedly struck the two, throwing them into the ditch and killing the child instantly. His car then swerved across the road and into an orange grove before coming to a stop.
The child's body was removed to a Santa Ana mortuary where inquest was held Tuesday. The coroner's jury placed the blame on the driver of the death car, asserting that he was operating his
In speaking of the allocation and budgeting of processed foods, he explained that it was necessary for restaurants to register, since otherwise no individual would watch his rationing points, knowing that he could drop in at any restaurant and get a full meal. He advanced the opinion that OPA will depend upon the business man to aid in putting its program across, and told of the way in which efforts are being made to iron out inequalities and simplify the program.
In closing, Stuewe urged Kiwanians to plant Victory gardens as a means of meeting expected food shortages.
During the business meeting, Ewald Lemcke was named to fill out the term of Dr. Charles Schutz, whose resignation as president was necessary because of his call to service with the Navy in the capacity of lieutenant.
Variable Weather Has Not Hurt Southland Crops
A mixture of weather conditions throughout February that included lengthy rains, hot days, a few light frosts, and winds caused some delay in the planting and harvesting of crops in most Southern California counties according to "Southern California Crops," monthly agricultural report published by the Los Angeles County Chamber of Commerce, but it was generally felt that most crops emerged in good shape.
Vegetables and grains were benefitted by the rainfall. Some damage to the citrus industry was reported due to the heavy rains, and fruit rot will have to be carefully watched. Strong winds caused scattered damage in various areas especially to summer avocados and citrus.
The orange situation in California during February was rather hectic as heavy rains throughout the citrus districts curtailed picking and shipping activities. Prices throughout the month were at or near the ceiling price. Prospects are for continued strong demand at ceiling prices throughout March.

ENSIGN MENDOZA
South Lemon street, received his ensign's commission in the United States Naval Reserve on Wednesday, March 3 at the Naval training Center in Corpus Christi.
Ensign Mendoza graduated from Union high school and Fullerton junior college, and was a student at USC when he volunteered for flight training in December, 1941. He was an affiliate of Sigma Chi fraternity at the University.
He received his preliminary flight instruction at Los Alamitos Reserve Aviation Base, going from there to the Corpus Christi Center for advanced training. March ceremonies at which he and his class members received their commissions and Navy wings from Rear Admiral A. E. Montgomery, commandant of the Center, marked completion of a long and intensive training course which qualified the young men to take their places with the fleet.
Corpus Christi is the largest naval air training center in the world, and it was there that Ensign Mendoza passed the rigid requirements of the basic and instrument courses; received specialized instruction in flying the Navy's fighting planes; mastered the technical subjects of ground school curses, and prepared himself in every way to serve as an officer in the U. S. Navy.
Red Cross Drive Nears Goal Set For Anaheim Area
Although Anaheim residents are still a trifle slow in making their contributions to the Red Cross drive now under way, Chairman Edward H. Power today expressed conviction that the city would go over the top in meeting its quota of $12,400.
War Bond Sales Exceed Quota
February was a banner month in War Bond sales in Southern California, for figures recently released show that the 11 southland counties purchased a total of $30,-450,392 of Series E. bonds, exceeding their quota by 12% per cent. Orange county purchased $731,430 worth, representing 103 per cent of its quota, and placing it third in Southland county sales.
The Southland's March quota has been set at $28,300,000 with Orange county allotted the sum of $736,000 in sales.
Valencia Crop May Be Smaller
Movements of California citrus fruits have been in comparatively light volume according to the department of public relations of the Santa Fe Railway company. According to this report, Valencia orange prospects have improved recently, although official reports indicate that production will be about two million boxes under that of last season.
"Enough rain has fallen in Southern California to offset frost and other damages" the report states, "It is said that little or no irrigation will be necessary until April or May."
Farm Bureau Shows Membership Growth
That Orange County Farm Bureau membership now totals approximately 1650 farm families of the county, was gratifying news received by directors of the Bureau at their recent monthly meeting in Yorba Linda. The announcement was made by Executive Secretary C. J. Marks, who stated that recent membership drives indicated a prevailing interest in banding together to help solve some of the war-time problems facing agriculture.
President Vernon C. Heil conducted the meeting whose discussions included price ceilings, incentive payments, citrus diseases, legislative matters and similar subjects.
Nears Goal Set For Anaheim Area
Although Anaheim residents are still a trifle slow in making their contributions to the Red Cross drive now under way, Chairman Edward H. Power today expressed conviction that the city would go over the top in meeting its quota of $12,400.
The entire month of March has been set aside for this nationwide drive for funds to carry out the tremendous war program of American Red Cross. Captains in the several Anaheim city and rural districts added many generous gifts to their totals, with contributions to date bringing the total close to $11,000.
Those in charge of the drive under Chairman Powers, today pointed out that early contributions would be a great help in bringing the drive to a conclusion as early as possible. Many of the rural areas remain to be heard from, it was explained, because of the bad weather conditions which have slowed up collections. "The gifts are there for us," declared one of the workers. "All that remains is to bring the contributions in to Red Cross headquarters."
Postal Receipts Show Advance
February receipts at Anaheim post office have been listed by Postmaster Louis Hoskins as $5096.29, representing an increase of $409.94 over February 1942. Total receipts for the first two months of the year were $10,-962.83, a gain of $515.10 over the corresponding two months of last year.

Lemcke Named Engineer For Outfall District
Settling a question which has been puzzling directors of Orange county's joint outfall sewer district for the past several weeks, was the appointment of Ewald Lemcke, formerly of the city engineer's staff, to the post of maintenance engineer for the outfall district.
Directors met in the council chambers of Anaheim city hall where the decisive action was taken. Lemcke, whose new post carries a salary of $275 a month, has been serving as maintenance engineer on Units two to six (inclusive) for the past few months. His new duties will embrace full charge of District 1, the outfall unit and treatment plant.
J. L. McBride, former Santa Ana city engineer, has been considered by the directors as maintenance engineer, a post which he held temporarily. But objections from Santa Ana city council caused directors of the district to reconsider their recommendations that he be appointed on a permanent basis.

General Dewitt Says Civilian Defense Needed
Although Anaheim's Civilian Defense preparations and activities are among the best in the state, the committee of which Charles H. Mann is executive chairman, feels that special attention should be given Lieut.-Gen. John L. DeWitt's suggestions for increased vigilance.
This vigilance and attention to training and preparedness are considered so important at present, that Governor Warren has asked that publicity be given to a letter which Gen. Dewitt sent from the Presidio, San Francisco, to James S. Dean, acting executive director of California State Council of Defense.
General DeWitt states "Enemy inaction along the Pacific coast during the past several months may well give rise to a relaxation of public interest in Civilian Defense measures."
"A shrewd enemy takes advantage of a public state of lethargy, and may even attempt to cause a civilian population to be lulled into a sense of security, thereby creating a favorable opportunity to attack. The mere fact that enemy raids have not taken place along this coast should be a chal-

Fullerton Jaysee Print Shop Opens Good Course
The present shortage in printers has been suggested as one of the reasons for the increased interest shown in the course now open in Fullerton junior college print shop, which opened its second semester classes Tuesday.
Print shop courses are open to high school students as well as college students and adults, and many women are taking advantage of the opportunity to learn printing, bookbinding and allied industries. The school enterprise which employs both student and NYA labor, is under direction of Obert Rod, who came to the campus from Burbank at the beginning of the school year, to succeed the late T. R. Harms.
Work done under his direction has been of such a high standard that Fullerton high school and junior college annuals will both be printed there this year.
