Southern Counties Gas Company Plans For Fuel Needs For Next Winter Construction of a major pipeline from the La Goleta dry gas field above Santa Barbara to Los Angeles has been approved by the WPB according to word received here recently. The project which will be undertaken by Southern Counties Gas Co., Southern California Gas Co., and the Pacific Lighting Corporation is expected to cost about $4,000,000. The Pacific Lighting Company owns the La Goleta dry gas field, where an underground gas storage operation of considerable magnitude has been in progress for the past three years. The new pipelines, according to preliminary plans submitted to WPB, will provide a net increase of 164,000,000 cubic feet of gas for peak day use by essential customers in the Los Angeles area. Order for the necessary pipe has just been placed by the companies involved and commencement of the job is dependent on when it can be delivered. The plan calls for the construction of a 16-inch line by Southern Counties Gas Co., connecting the La Goleta field with the Company's Ventura compressor plant, a distance of slightly over 36 miles. Southern California Gas Co., will lay 55 miles of 18-inch pipe and 12 miles of 22-inch pipe, between Ventura and Los Angeles. In addition to these two major jobs, Pacific Lighting Corp., proposes to enlarge the compressor plant there and install a dehydration plant; while Southern Counties Gas Co. will build a dehydration plant at Ventura, and revamp the compressor station there. The project, it is explained by Fred G. Merker, District Manager of the Southern Counties Gas company, will enable the gas companies in Southern California to store large volumes of surplus gas in the natural underground reservoir at La Goleta during the summer months when surplus gas is available, and utilize this gas to meet peak loads in the wintertime. In setting forth the necessity for the proposed construction Merker stated: "The project is designed to use a minimum of critical materials and equipment, and gas company engineers assert that the peak load capacity provided by this project cannot be obtained by a less expenditure of either labor or materials by any other means at our disposal. In fact, this project offers the best way of providing the needed capacity by next winter."

Pellissier of Whittier, is the owner of a registered Holstein cow which has just completed a lifetime production record of more than 100,000 pounds of milk, the Holstein-Friesian Association of America announced today. Her name is Pansco Hazel 1817843, and she is the 784th Holstein in the nation to become a "100,000-pounder." In 5 lactations, "Hazel" has a total of 137,191 pounds of milk and 5,094 pounds of butterfat to her credit. Her highest single record has recently been completed at the age of 7 years, 9 months with the production of 28,779 pounds of milk and 1,029 pounds of butterfat. This record made her the 51st Holstein-Friesian in the U. S. to produce more than 1,000 pounds of butterfat in a year on 3 milkings daily. Her dam, Hazel Colantha Rag Apple De Kol 966597, was bred by William F. Neale, Waco, Texas, and has an official Herd Test record made at 6 years of 20,011 pounds of milk and 754.3 pounds of butterfat in 3365 days and on 3X milking. In addition to her outstanding record as a producer, "Hazel" and her offspring have made a most creditable record in the show rings of the west. "Hazel" was undefeated ARO cow at the California State Fair in 1940. In 1941, when this class was eliminated, she placed second to the grand champion. Her two sons, Pansco Exchange Plus and Pansco Hazel Designer are the junior herd sires in the Pellissier herd. "Exchange Plus" was undefeated junior yearling in 1941 and was also made honorable mention All-American in her class. "Hazel Designer" was junior champion at the Great Western Livestock show in January, 1944, and "Hazel's" youngest calf was first prize heifer in the same show. "Designer" and the heifer also placed first in the produce of dam class. All of "Hazel's" production records were made under supervision of the University of California in cooperation with the Holstein-Friesian Association of America.

ANAHEIM VISITOR J. W. McWilliams of route 1, Buena Park, was a pleasant visitor at The Gazette office last Monday morning, renewing his subscription for another year. Craemer Campaign 'Flying Squadron' In Anaheim Tuesday The Craemer for Senator "Flying Squadron," composed of Judge Frank C. Drumm, chairman of the Craemer for senator club, Roy Edwards, Gordon X. Richmond, and Ronald Fairbairn, publisher of the Orange Daily News, stopped in Anaheim Tuesday on their rounds of the county to "feel the pulse," of the sentiment toward the Justus Craemer campaign. They visited friends and political leaders here and stated that their quick survey indicated a growing strength for the Orange publisher and orange grower in his campaign for the U. S. senate. Craemer, at present a member of the state railroad commission, has made several appearances in the county but his duties and his state headquarters at Sacramento will not allow much time to be spent in his home county. Running for the state-wide office he will be required to cover every part of the state and is therefore depending on his friends at home to "keep the home fires burning." He will, however, be in Orange county before the primaries to personnally see as many of the home county voters as time will permit.

Such was stated as being the decision of a group of growers who met on April 10 as the vegetable department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. In explaining the action, C. J. Marks, executive secretary of the Farm Bureau emphasized that it has not yet been submitted to the County Farm Bureau for approval as a policy but that the growers were unanimous in thinking that the hazards of price at the present time are too much to assure growers of a return of the cost of production. Marks explained that the vegetable growers gamble with prices in normal times but are now also faced with the unpredictable actions of governmental agencies, particularly the OPA, and may have a crop near harvest before a ceiling price is set. That price may be so low that the only outlet is to plow the crop under and plant another that may return a profit. Walter Elliott, chairman of the department, and other growers told of recent conferences with OPA and War Food Administration officials at which time those officials also agreed that lack of authority in local and area offices causes a delay of at least 3 months before any decision on price protests can clear through the maze of offices in Washington, D.C. In the meantime the crop has matured and is ready for harvest or has been destroyed or sold. The growers, who met at the Farm Bureau offices in Orange, also cited the fact that vegetable prices have been set at nationwide levels with no regard for the much higher wages paid for farm labor in California; with no consideration of out-of-season production with its increased costs, lower production and greater risks and without due opportunity for growers to present their side of the story when the prices are being set. They also stated that the national industry advisory committees have a notable lack of any real producers on them but several representatives of processors, canners, shippers and others. The chief immediate goal of the group is to secure the right for local and area offices to adjust price ceilings immediately when they are shown to be justified, instead of going through the long process of submitting everything to national offices.

E. Wahlberg. Victory Gardeners need to grow just as much food as is possible for use fresh and for storage. This is the word that comes from the War Food Administration. The Office of Price Administration agrees. "Future ration values of canned vegetables depend on this year's Victory Gardens." Victory Gardening is a war job, an obligation for everyone who has the time to do the work and can make arrangements for a suitable place. A drop in the point ration values of some processed foods in March is regarded as the main reason for some temporary slackening of garden interest. But there is little chance that this country can grow more food than will be needed. If it had not been for the Victory Gardens of 1943 there would have been a definite shortage of vegetables. Victory Gardeners accounted for nearly half the vegetables produced for fresh consumption in 1943.
