Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia, Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions.

Survey Shows 89 Percent of Immigrant Workers Want to Remain In California LOS ANGELES, May 17—Keyed to the theme, “Postwar Trade Means Postwar Jobs,” National Foreign Trade Week, May 21-27, will show how almost every industry can help maintain a high level of purchasing power in Southern California by preparing for prompt reconversions to civilian production after victory is won. In making this announcement, W. F. Bettis, general chairman, stated nine important meetings are scheduled for the Week’s observance in downtown Los Angeles, and other like meetings are programmed throughout the South- ing these dollars in circulation. “A recent survey has shown that 89 per cent of the immigrant workers, who flocked here for war jobs, intend to make Southern California their permanent place of residence. It is incumbent upon every community to keep its industries in operation after the war, so these people, who have proved so essential in this time of emergency, may be continued in employment.” Foreign trade, Bettis explained, was developing rapidly before the war. Now with countless added or enlarged industries, he pointed out, Father of Local Resident Passes At Fullerton Sunrise Siegfried M.

Democrats Controlled 50 Counties, May Primary Election, to Republican’s Eight Now that the primary election is over the following facts and figures on the voters’ registration, which totaled 3,370,978, as given by Secretary of State Frank Jordan, will be of special interest to those interested in politics and the trends: The registration figures showed 1,968,375 listed as Democrats; 1,285,977 Republicans; 6,412 Prohibitionists; 8,981 miscellaneous; 101,232 declined to state. On a percentage basis the Democrats showed 58.39 per cent of the total registration an increase of .56 percent, as compared to February. The Republicans have 38.15 per cent, a decrease of .46 percent. Other percentages were Prohibition .19; miscellaneous .27; declined to state, 3. The current registration is 94,-296 under that for the 1940 Presidential Primary and 681,417 below the all time high reached in November of 1940. The registration, although the lowest since 1936, showed an increase of 605,161 as compared to a preliminary registration survey made in March and a month before the deadline was reached April 6 for registering for the May primary. During the interval the Republicans lost majorities in two counties—Del Norte and Santa Cruz—leaving that party with but eight counties and the Democrats with 50.

Hoskins, postmaster, has been confined to his home suffering with an infected hand. Fullerton OPA Board Vacancies Filled Wednesday Five new members were selected and approved Wednesday and three others were to be approved before tonight to re-establish the full membership of the Fullerton war price and rationing board. They replace the active members who resigned Tuesday. First five named were: R. V. Carey, Boy Scout executive for nearly ten years; Charles S. Knolton, citrus grower; Charles M. Waite, who is in the electric supply and wiring business, and Herbert Osborne, electrical engineer. The new members planned to meet tonight with the board members who remained at their post of duty to nominate a new chairman, according to officials of the Fullerton Civilian Defense council which aided in selecting and approving the new members. “We are most appreciative of the constructive cooperation and loyalty of those board members who remained to serve their country and their neighbors,” said J. B. Edwards, district board operations chief. “Few people realize that we have nearly 2,700 regularly appointed board members and a paid staff of almost 1,000 serving the 130 boards under the jobs, intend to make Southern California their permanent place of residence. It is incumbent upon every community to keep its industries in operation after the war, so these people, who have proved so essential in this time of emergency, may be continued in employment.” Foreign trade, Bettis explained, was developing rapidly before the war. Now with countless added or enlarged industries, he pointed out, these plants can be utilized in manufacturing products for sale to other countries on a scale greater than ever before was envisioned. Charley, it seemed, wanted off buying for a few days. “Listen, Charley,” the man at desk said—“I won't have any car like this till 'way next week' take this one...Eh?...listen!—these sizes are just right for you. If you don't take car I'll have to divert it—they it up in Cleveland. But I hate vert it, Charley, when I know it kind of fruit you want...Ye Sunkist.” The man at the desk off the sizes and prices—slow Charley could take them down. “What's that? No, sir, prices be a bit lower next week.” The at the desk—the Sunkist Sales Manager—explained and gued. In fact, he talked to Charley like a Dutch uncle, and whung up at last, the sale was. Just a routine incident—but your porter couldn't help wishing the grower whose fruit was in there could be there. So he'd know for self how much care and honesty goes into selling his fruit. Of course that phone call was the final push...the selling japan back in Los Angeles, from teletype reports, Salesager Powell and his aids plied citrus market, the areas of high demand, just the way we bureau chiefs plot the areas on low pressure. As the car rolled east, it was waved each day with reference to demand. The Sales Department ferred with the grower's own district Exchange Manager, ways has final say about destiny and selling price. If Columbus not made the sale, the car have been re-routed to main where demand was more actu- During the interval the Republicans lost majorities in two counties—Del Norte and Santa Cruz—leaving that party with but eight counties and the Democrats with 50. Since March the Republicans gained 217,028 registrations and the Democrats 368,881. The Counties showing Republican majorities were Alpine, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Mono, Orange, Riverside and Sonoma. Los Angeles County leads all others in number of registrants with a total of 1,432,839. Of this number 847,741 registered as Democrats and 518,564 as Republicans. San Francisco County was in second place with 340,874, including 220,265 Democrats and 114,546 Republicans. Alameda County showed 310,579 registered. Of these 173,422 were Democrats and 128,418 were Republicans. The smallest registration came from Alpine County with 199. This included 58 Democrats and 138 Republicans.

"We are most appreciative of the constructive cooperation and loyalty of those board members who remained to serve their country and their neighbors," said J. B. Edwards, district board operations chief. "Few people realize that we have nearly 2,700 regularly appointed board members and a paid staff of almost 1,000 serving the 130 boards under the jurisdiction of this District office. "We have full confidence in the Fullerton board and have every reason to believe that the war price and rationing program will be properly administered in this community. We are pleased to announce that there will be no interruption of service to the public." R. E. Marsh former board chairman, in announcing Tuesday that he and seven other members of the 21-man board were resigning, said this was a protest against removal from board files of documents pertaining to gasoline rationing. They were taken by a field representative of the district office in Los Angeles to that office for examination. Edwards pointed out that all such files are government property and that some files including those of board chairmen and members are checked periodically in order to prevent criticism of apparent over-issuance of rations. This review of records by district officials is done to insure mutual protection of board members and the citizens they serve, the boards declared. Florida's orange harvest proved to be 5,000 cars greater than anticipated; the latest government estimate of the state's orange and tangerine crop being 117,750 cars.

The cold gray day last February our reporter stood warming his hands over a radiator in a small, tin office in Columbus, Ohio. Thin snowflakes fell past the window. Man at a desk was studying a manila envelope. On it were rows of figures describing a certain kind of citrus fruit. Can't sell this car here," the man said—"I won't have another like this till'way next week. Bet you take this one...Eh?...No, men!—these sizes are just about right for you. If you don't take this car I'll have to divert it—they want to go in Cleveland. But I hate to dictate it, Charley, when I know it's the end of fruit you want...Yes, it's junkist." The man at the desk read the sizes and prices—slowly so Charley could take them down. What's that? No, sir, prices won't be a bit lower next week." The man at the desk—the Sunkist District Manager—explained and arrived. In fact, he talked to Charley a Dutch uncle, and when he got up at last, the sale was made. At a routine incident—but your reverter couldn't help wishing that the lower whose fruit was in that car would be there. So he'd know for him how much care and honest sweat into selling his fruit.

The car rolled east, it was watched with day with reference to citrus demand. The Sales Department continued with the grower's own District Exchange Manager, who always has final say about destination selling price. If Columbus had made the sale, the car would have been re-routed to markets where demand was more active.

Mr. Goldwater's proposition to inaugurate an electric light plant in this city should meet with abundant favor with the people. The electric light will cost but little more than the antiquated gas lamps, and will result in attracting renewed attention to our city.

Brinkerhoff 308 E. 3rd Street Santa, Ana, California Can You Picture ANAHEIM Without Schools? OF COURSE NOT. This city, or any community, could not exist long OF COURSE NOT. This city, or any community, could not exist long without schools. Education is the birthright of every American, and our public schools are part of the very foundation of democracy. The teachers of this community are devoting their lives to the work of education. These instructors, the school administrators and the local, county and state school boards deserve much of the credit for the ability of our young men and women to face the world and carve out successful careers. Our public school system is the finest in the world. It is one of the things that we are fighting today to maintain. Highway transportation is also one of the vital factors in American progress. It makes our nation one great community. You could as well picture this city without schools as without automobiles, trucks and buses. Many schools, of course, depend to a large extent on buses for transportation of students. Greyhound is part of this community and its progress. We are helping to maintain its essential wartime connections with other communities throughout the nation. And we are looking ahead to peace when we can again set new high standards of highway transportation. GREYHOUND Salutes the Schools in this Community SERVING THE NATION WITH DEPENDABLE TRANSPORTATION
