Scrapping of Agricultural Agencies Urged By State Farm Bureau Head Elimination of every government agency that regulates agriculture, not including those of long standing that have proven their benefit to agriculture through helpful services, and insistence upon having a single hand to the administration of the food problem of the United States of America was urged by Ray B. Wiser of Gridley, president of California Farm Bureau federation in a discussion with directors of Orange County Farm Bureau at their regular monthly meeting last Thursday in Orange. The starting statements were based upon actual experience of farmers during past months particularly where they have been flooded with regulations all of which have had the effect of reducing the production of foodstuff in America, stated Wiser. As an example of the situation the president of the organization which represents more than 28,000 farm families in California told of the great loss of pears that is expected to materialize within the next few days and weeks. He said that regulations issued by War Labor Board, War Manpower Commission, OPA, Office of Defense Transportation and War Food Administration have all entered into the picture to confuse and delay the harvest to such an extent that the loss of thousands of tons of pears is expected. He urged farmers to do their utmost to save the maximum quantity of foods in spite of handicaps. Centralization of authority for all activities of the government having to do with food production, harvesting, processing, handling, distribution, disbursement and other activities was urged as a matter of efficiency and elimination of confusion. Wiser said that the production of food has already been sabotaged to such an extent that the full effect is yet to be felt and definite shortages are increasingly developing. President Wiser is author of a plan for establishing farm production goals upon the basis of local county “production intentions” including state summaries and national adjustments to meet requirements. In this manner farmers who are used to producing particular crops can increase their production in fields with which they are familiar. The past system has caused many farmers to picture into new fields in an effort reach nationally-set production goals, stated Wiser, resulting in many crop failures. The cure for the situation within the hands of the members of Congress, he stated, urging farmers to contact their congressmen to seek a democratic solution of the problem immediately. An impromptu ceremony arranged through which President Wiser was presented a check deeds in the California Farm Bureau federation and which represented a total paid-in member of 1489 members, sufficient qualify the county as reaching state goal set for them last November at the annual state convention. Several hundred farm family memberships were turned in during the balance year, stated Marks, County Farm Bureau secretary. A threatened shortage of balsam was discussed and a resolution adopted that may lead to less tension that will soften the bleak farmers. Almost all Orange City farmers are in a favored position, stated Marks, and have "The flowers are for yesterday and the m "I'd like to tell you what the Japs did were so short of bandages and nurses had to wash out the old one again.

The past system caused many farmers to venture into new fields in an effort to obtain nationally-set production, stated Wiser, resulting in crop failures. The cure for the situation lies in the hands of the members of Congress, he stated, urging all farmers to contact their congressmen to seek a democratic solution to the problem immediately. An impromptu ceremony was organized through which President Earl R. Berg was presented a check for $1489 members, sufficient to qualify the county as reacing the goal set for them last November at the annual state convention. Several hundred more family memberships will be held in during the balance of the current year, stated C. J. Marks, County Farm Bureau secretary. A threatened shortage of butane discussed and a resolution adopted that may lead to legislation that will soften the blow to farmers. Almost all Orange countrymen are in a favored position, stated Marks, and have little to fear for the balance of this year and all of next year as the largest supplier is in a position to make regular deliveries to customers and other suppliers are said to be in a good position. Ceiling prices on beans and the proven costs of production were discussed by Don Woodington, Huntington Beach, chairman of the bean department. Woodington and his directors are working for an increase in ceiling prices on regular lima bean prices to producers from $8 to $9.75 per hundredweight. It was shown that production costs approximate $7.70 per hundred pounds as delivered to the warehouses. Losses in the warehouse, costs of processing and other factors leave the producer in the position of operating at or below cost. President Vernon C. Heil appointed a nominating committee headed by J. W. Crill, Garden Grove, to report at the next Farm Bureau meeting. A newly developed instrument about the size of a milk bottle, prevents a gunner from ever shooting into the tail or wing of his own plane. The device either shuts off the bursts of bullets as they come within a specified distance, or diverts the aim from the endangered part of the plane. - CHURCHES - WESLEY METHODIST "The Good Shepherd" will be the Rev.

"In gratitude for what God in Christ has done for us in healing wounds of sin and guilt, we must use every opportunity to help, spiritually and materially, those who need us."

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 August 15, 1918 Unexpected moves relative to the future government of Anaheim have become so frequent of late that the people have ceased to be surprised at anything but the serenity of the city trustees was somewhat jolted Thursday night when two petitions asking bone-dry legislation were presented. The first, demanding a special election, signed by the ultra drys, was expected, but the second, containing the signatures of every liquor dealer in the city asking for a bone-dry ordinance without resorting to an election was a surprise. The liquor dealers agree to voluntarily wind up their affairs and quit business on February 1st. This will give them time to dispose of stock on hand and prevent heavy loss to them. Everyone of them has been a large purchaser of government bonds and is under heavy obligations to the banks that carry them. Furthermore, they state, the special election would cause a division among the people and an uncertainty among the business men and property owners at a time when Anaheim must be a unit in performing its duty to the government. The building committee of the Methodist church received bids this week for the construction of a $20,000 church of Italian Renaissance type plans for which have been prepared by Norman Mairsh of Los Angeles. The edifice will be built upon three lots at the corner of Broadway and Philadelphia streets. The structure will 50 Years Ago August 17, 1893 The City Trusteees sat as a Board of Equalization on Monday and Tuesday. The city assessment roll quota up to about $530,-742, which is a slight increase over last year, the gain being in the assessment of $27,000 of money loaned the Water company, which during the previous years escaped taxation. Only two complaints were made. One assessment was cancelled on account of the destruction of the property by fire, and one was lowered on account of the property being situated in an undesirable locality. The board met last evening to fix the tax levy which will probably be 50 cents on the one hundred dollars of property valuation, and a special tax for interest on bonds. Last year this special tax was 35 cents on the hundred, but this year it will probably be less. Mr. W. M. McFadden was in town on Monday afternoon to meet the orange growers for the purpose of forming a co-operation of growers to act with other growers throughout Southern California. No other growers appeared and consequently no meeting was held. Mr. Cargill came in in the evening thinking the meeting would be held at that time, but was disappointed. More interest should be taken in this question of co-operation of the growers, as upon it rests the fate of the orange industry. A meeting of the growers from all parts of Southern California was held in Los Angeles on Tuesday to form an association of growers. He restoreth my soul,” is the passage from the Twenty-third Psalm chosen as Golden Text in Sunday’s lesson-sermon on “Soul” in all churches of Christ, Scientist. Included in the lesson-sermon will be one of the parables from Luke, and excerpts from “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy. She writes “All nature teaches God’s love to man, but man cannot love God supremely and set his whole affections on spiritual things, while loving the material or trusting in it more than the spiritual.” CHURCH OF CHRIST The Rev.

The building committee of the Methodist church received bids this week for the construction of a $20,000 church of Italian Renaissance type plans for which have been prepared by Norman Mairsh of Los Angeles. The edifice will be built upon three lots at the corner of Broadway and Philadelphia streets. The structure will be of white cement finish. The arrangement of a pipe organ which has been donated by Mrs. Chas. Eygabroad and Mrs. Will Wagner Jr. will be a novel feature of the building. Rev. Harry White has been pastor of the Anaheim Methodist church for two years. This will be the third church building in Southern California for which he is responsible. While he served those congregations as pastor the Methodist church at Covina and the Methodist church at Pico Heights were erected. The Anaheim Methodist church building board is comprised of Charles Eygabroad, Will Wagner Jr., W. S. Price, John Taggart, P. H. Krick, E. L. Hein and Pastor White. “If you recognize anyone here, he was in the battle of Cantigny.” This appears in a supplement of the Springfield Republican, and in the picture O. M. Robbins recognized a picture of Lieut. Stanley Chapman son of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton. The picture shows a number of Americans and French grouped around a tank. The assault on Cantigny was on May 28. That Orange County draft men are in the front line trenches “over there” is disclosed in a telegram received Monday by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wallace of Orange, informing them that their son Lew Wallace had been wounded in battle on August 1. He is the first man drafted from Orange county to be wounded in battle over there. Don Trapp of El Toro one of the Orange County volunteers was killed in battle in France on the 16th of June, according to word received by his father, Robert Trapp, Tuesday.

The Fullerton orchestra composed of Miss Nora Stow, violin; Miss Florence Schulz, piano; Dr Clark, flute; F. S. Purdy, trombone; and Harry Clark, double bass, gave a musical entertainment and social hop at Chad Bourne’s hall last Wednesday evening. The excellent rendition of the program stamped the orchestra as a very meritorious musical organization, many of the numbers being superbly rendered. The dance that followed was most enjoyable and at a late hour the crowd dispersed. A quiet wedding took place at seven o’clock on Sunday morning at the rectory of St. Bonifacchurch when Rev. J. P. Caballeria pronounced Charles W. Clark of Pomona and Miss Lena Snodgrass of this place, man and wife.The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Clara Snodgrass a bridesmaid and Arch Henry wa groomsman.The happy couple left for Pomona at 9 o’clock where they will make their home.
