BIG HARBOR DEVOT Government To Spend $20-Million To Build Large Naval Ordnance Depot That the harbor development hoped for by the Orange County Harbor Commission for Anaheim Bay, one of the most likely harbor locations on the south coast, will materialize is practically assured in an announcement yesterday by Philip Norton, war housing committee chairman, that the government plans a $20,000,000 naval ordnance depot at that point. The development, which includes 3,500 acres in the Bay and Anaheim Landing district, will be a permanent ordnance base for the navy and calls for a peace-time personnel of 2,025 employees. During the construction and war period it is estimated that a larger number than that will be employed. The site for the base will include down-the-coast territory running past Surfside Colony, a cottage development that started about 15 years ago. In this district more than 200 private houses will be razed to make way for the harbor development, however, at least 200 new homes will be built by the government for housing defense workers and employees at the depot. It is possible that many of the houses now according to those who have studied the location. Harbor development should be one of the principal post-war activities if the west coast is to hold its own in the commercial field after the war. More harbors are needed wherever they can be built from Puget Sound to San Diego. Anaheim Landing was named by the original settlers of the city of Anaheim which was the first permanent settlement between Los Angeles and San Diego. The Colony settlers who came down the coast by boat were brought to shore on lighters and made their way some 17 miles inland where they established the town of Anaheim. The city and the ocean front, Anaheim Landing and Anaheim Bay, gets its name from the Santa Ana valley and "heim" which is German for "home." No starting date for the ordnance depot project was announced but it is taken for granted that work will be rushed as the war will soon shift to the Pacific coast when the campaign to crush Japan gets under way in earnest in the near future. Speaker Discusses Nation’s Capital For Rotary Group “Not only is Washington the capital of the United States, but at the present time it might most be termed the capital of the world,” declared Dr. Bernard Hyink, political science instructor at University of Redlands, who he appeared as guest speaker Monday before Rotary club. With “Washington During War Times” as his subject, Dr. Hyink gave a vivid picture of the capital which he described as a boon city with a population of 600,000 crowded into the limited space approximately ten square miles. “Soldiers of all nations overflight its streets. All countries of the world look to it for leadership help and relief,” he stated. After describing the difficult living conditions, the famous Pentagon building and important government work done at Senate committee meetings in which, stated, “Democracy really works; the speaker concluded with various criticisms. Saying that he offered the criticism with full conscience. The site for the base will include down-the-coast territory running past Surfside Colony, a cottage development that started about 15 years ago. In this district more than 200 private houses will be razed to make way for the harbor development, however, at least 200 new homes will be built by the government for housing defense workers and employees at the depot. It is possible that many of the houses now on the beach and which will be purchased by the government, will be moved to other sites, although it is understood that private parties may buy the houses to be moved off the site. If the project is carried out the Pacific railroad and trestle work along and over Anaheim Bay will have to be moved, as well as re-routing of the Coast highway and the Pacific tracks to Seal Beach and the Long Beach to Balboa line. This news is of special interest to Anaheim and Orange county as it is presumed that the ordinance depot will not interfere with the development of a commercial harbor in the Bay district. The channels will be dredged and bulkheads built by the government, but it is hoped the Harbor Commission's plan to develop the inner harbor may still be carried out. Possibilities of harbor development in the area are almost unlimited and the site is far more feasible than the original site of the present Los Angeles harbor, Anaheim. The city and the ocean front, Anaheim Landing and Anaheim Bay, gets its name from the Santa Ana valley and "heim" which is German for "home." No starting date for the ordinance depot project was announced but it is taken for granted that work will be rushed as the war will soon shift to the Pacific coast when the campaign to crush Japan gets under way in earnest in the near future. Anaheim Elks Join Long Beach Lodge To Greet Official Exalted Ruler Donald C.

As grand exalted ruler, he has jurisdiction over the nation's 1,600 Elks lodges, totaling a membership in excess of 600,000 men. Saying that he offered the criticisms with full consciousness of the tremendous pressure under which national business must be carried on, Dr. Hyink pointed out the over-abundance of agencies with overlapping authority—the lack of authority given health departments; unnecessary lay and confusion by too much red tape. Other criticisms expressed were the lack of coordination between government agencies; two major weak people in responsible positions and an appeasement policy as practiced by many agencies which tends toward unstable government. In conclusion, he stated: "No administration is better than the personnel that makes it up and that is equally true of Washington." William A. Cook as the day program chairman, introduced to speaker. Other introductions guests in attendance included Lieut. Leland Woodward, no and present with his father, R home from Texas on furlough tarian Earle Woodward.

The Golden Text, chosen from I John reads: “This is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son.” According to a Lesson - Sermon passage from John, Jesus came to Bethany and found that his friend Lazarus “had lain in the grave four days already.” “Take ye away the stone,” he commanded. “And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou has heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And . . . he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: . . .

Use of lemons in the United States has increased 61 per cent per capita within the past nine years. Range Grass Trials Now Underway By Co. Farm Bureau Two experimental range grass nursery plots have been established under direction of Orange county Farm Bureau, one in the northeastern part of the county and the other near the coast, said W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Eighteen different grasses and legumes were planted by two different methods to determine which gave the best stand. In one, the seed was covered with a very light cultivation of the soil surface after broadcasting. A more elaborate seed bed was prepared in the second by deeper and more thorough seed bed cultivation and deeper covering of the seed. This comparison was planned in order to determine which procedure would be desirable when more extensive range plantings were done. As result of these variety trials a wider knowledge of the varieties of grass which can survive will be gained. Reseeding is usually desirable where crop land is turned back to range land or where the brush cover is removed by burning. In the latter case, mustard is oftentimes sown to get a quick cover to reduce soil washing from the winter rains. This practice is commendable in so far as holding the soil, but does nothing to increase the forage yield on range land. If a grass can be secured which has more forage value than mustard and also the characteristics suitable for reducing erosion, the forage yields of the ranges can be increased.
