GIBBS LUMBER Three Retail Yards Anaheim-Fullerton-Placentia DELIVERY OF Building Materials ROBINS PAINT STORE 239 N. Los Angeles St., Anaheim Cool July Weather Causes Harvest Delay But Crops Good, Report Shows While cool weather of July provided a topic of favorable conversation on the part of visitors from less favored areas, it was a deterrent to some crops and harmless to others, according to the monthly report of the Los Angeles County Chamber of Commerce. Cool weather resulted in delay in maturing of cantaloupes, cucumbers, peppers and other hot weather crops, and may effect the yield, but crops such as green and dry lima beans, walnuts and citrus crops progressed nicely. The normal season for berries and sweet corn was extended. Insect pests thrived and some crops have been seriously damaged, the report says, because of the impossibility of getting enough insecticides. Fruit and nut crops will be heavier this year than last. Harvest periods are behind normal and the demand for oranges has exceeded the supply. Prices have been at OPA level except for the smaller sizes heavily discounted: Lemons were in strong demand most of the month, prices being at ceiling level except for smaller sizes. Grapefruit demand was high and will increase, as this area becomes the only source. Prospects are that avocados will be light next year, and this year's crop is practically all harvested. Walnuts will be plentiful and cool weather the prospects are for a heavy crop. Yields of flax in the Imperial Valley were high, while cotton "enjoyed favorable weather for a month." Acreage in the state is more than last year. While the acreage is low, sugar beet yields promise to be high. In livestock "general improvement was registered in the hog market." Receipts of cattle in the Los Angeles market were the heaviest of the year. Labor conditions "remained satisfactory in most areas." Lions See Orange Business In Action At Friday Meeting Members of the Lions club were taken on a visual education tour of the orange industry at their Friday noon meeting when Henry Greene, chief chemist, and Ralph Thompson, advertising manager, of the Food Machinery Corporation of Riverside, showed a colored sound picture covering the orange business from the blossom to the table. In his preliminary remarks Mr. Greene gave a brief history of the corporation's activities as builders of packing house and orchard equipment, now enlarged to include "water buffaloes" for the army. In the short time since Pearl Farm FOLKS HEADED FOR EIGHTH STRAIGHT America's farm folks appear to be heading for their straight year of record-breaking food production with the USDA estimate for 1944 food production 38 percent above the war 1935-39 average output by the 1943 record productionceed by 32 percent. Thanks to the American front making production "clues" the rule rather than theception, U. S. civilians this are eating as well as they do year and 7 percent better before the war with the remitof the record production go our Armed Forces, Lend-land and liberated peoples. Most prospective increase this year in wheat, fruits, truck crop meats. Major decrease is in tables other than truck crops. Mrs. Regis Borden Is Called to Rest Mrs. Regis Borden passed last Wednesday evening at family home at 420 North Street, at the age of 85 years. She was a native of Ireland, and had lived in Alder for the past twelve years eighty years in the United States. Surviving are one son, W. (Win) Borden of Anaheim; daughters, Mrs. Helen McLae; Anaheim, Mrs. J. F. Hewitt; Mrs. Mona B. Saghaphi, b New York City; three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Holy Rosary was recited chapel of Backs, Campbell Kaulbars last Friday evening o'clock with mass at the St. face church Saturday morning 9 o'clock. The body was sent to New York City for burial. IN LOS ANGELES WITH MOTHER Mrs. W. D. Grafton of 207 Kroeger, left Tuesday for Los Angeles to be with her mother a day or so. She has been slowly ill for some time but is Under the sharp spur of the food for Victory program, California farmers, despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles, have turned in a phenomenal production performance—and will unoubtedly continue to do so as long as the necessity remains, regardless of the wear and tear on themselves or their farm equipment. It is only provident to recognize, however, that when the war has been won, and farmers have time to take account of stock, California agriculture will face a "reair and replacement" bill that will run into many millions of dollars. With little new equipment available during the war period, and with many machines running with makeshift repairs, due to lack of parts, much of the equipment on California farms will be ready for the junk heap when peace comes—and thousands of farm buildings will be badly in need of substantial repairs or replacement. The wise farmer, knowing he will have his own post-war conversion problem, should consider depletion and breakage as a major item in his current costs and put aside funds to meet his repair and replacement bill when the war is over. Just as it is vital, during this time of comparatively high farm earnings, to pay off every possible dollar of farm indebtedness and build a reserve for the inevitable rainy day, it is of primary importance that farmers make provision to put their plants in good running order again when the present hectic, all-out production period has ended. According to estimates of technicians in the building materials and the demand for orange has exceeded the supply. Prices have been at OPA level except for the smaller sizes—heavily discounted. Lemons were in strong demand most of the month, prices being at ceiling level except for smaller sizes. Grapefruit demand was high and will increase, as this area becomes the only source. Prospects are that avocados will be light next year, and this year's crop is practically all harvested. Walnuts will be plentiful and large. Harvest of early grapes has begun, "the crop looking exceptionally good and of normal size." Apricot harvest was completed, being satisfactory. Large apple crops are in prospect while peach and ear crops "continue to look promising." Figs give "promise of excellent yield" but the olive crop for 1945 is reported as "very light." Most vegetable crops made slow growth during the month. If normal harvest weather exists, however, good production is expected. Tomatoes have been retarded by cool weather but this month will show substantial production. Potato harvest is now under way in all but Kern county where it is completed. Harvest of cantaloupes and other melons in the Imperial Valley has ended, but begun in Kern and other southern counties. Planting of fall celery is under way but harvest of the local product in the Venice-Sawtelle area is over. Carrot harvest will continue and cabbage is available "in limited quantities." Lima beans will be plentiful this month while bell peppers are in light supply. Of the field crops, dry bean stocks are "reduced to the lowest levels in recent years." Despite cent report stating that the average amount spent in 1943 for construction and maintenance on each of the nation's 6,000,000 farms was only $52, or about half the average annual outlay even in depression years. The provident farmer, looking to the future, will recognize, too, the likelihood of other increased costs that must be added to the "breakage" column—and provided for in extra War Bond purchases or bank savings. Tens of thousands of farm boys, now in the armed forces, will need temporary help in getting started again when they come back from the war—and perhaps more help than even a generous government grant. Friday noon meeting when Henry Greene, chief chemist, and Ralph Thompson, advertising manager, of the Food Machinery Corporation of Riverside, showed a colored sound picture covering the orange business from the blossom to the table. In his preliminary remarks Mr. Greene gave a brief history of the corporation's activities as builders of packing house and orchard equipment, now enlarged to include "water buffaloes" for the army. In the short time since Pearl Harbor the concern has increased its payroll from 300 to 1,900 men and are turning out amphibious tanks by the hundreds in addition to a larger volume of food processing machinery. The program was introduced by Bert Arnold of the Granada Packing Co. Most of the scenes in the motion picture were made in Orange county and every phase of citrus agriculture and packing house procedure was portrayed in interesting continuity. Ted Craig and Robert E. Morter of the Pacific Lighting corporation were guests of Lion Joe Critchfield. Warren Schultz, member of the club who is now with the U. S. Navy Air service, who is home for a short leave, was welcomed by his fellow Lions. E. O. Hutson acted as chairman of the day in the absence of President Thayer Chapman who was still in Chicago attending the Lions International convention. Musical entertainmet was furnished by Joe Hozena who played the guitar-harp and banjo. He was accompanied in several numbers by Lion Pianist Ray Hamilton and E. O. Hutson playing the saxophone. A meeting of the board of directors to be held on Wednesday night of this week at the home of Clyde Cromer was announced. FARM BUREAU PICNIC HELD HERE TUESDAY The Anaheim Farm Bureau held a picnic at the City park Tuesday evening with a potluck dinner the first feature on the program. The meeting was a picnic with no speeches and no reports, just a good time and plenty of fun for everybody, according to Connie Mauerhan, chairman. DAUGHTER BORN Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Phillips of route 4, Anaheim, are the parents of a daughter born Tuesday, Aug. 8, at Santa Ana Community hospital. Cafes Must Justify Just as it is vital, during this time of comparatively high farm earnings, to pay off every possible dollar of farm indebtedness and build a reserve for the inevitable rainy day, it is of primary importance that farmers make provision to put their plants in good running order again when the present hectic, all-out production period has ended. According to estimates of technicians in the building materials industry, American agriculture will be required to spend between TEN AND FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLARS for farm buildings and repairs alone during the five years immediately after the war. No accurate estimate has yet been made of the amount that will be required to repair or replace worn-out farm machinery, but the bill will be tremendous; if that there is no doubt, because war conditions have put a greatly increased burden on farm equipment. Increased production demands, resulting in almost continuous use of farm machinery; less efficient farm labor, resulting in an increase in breakage, and lack of both time and materials for repairs have all taken their toll on equipment. Added to these factors is the fact that normal replacements have been impossible since the outbreak of war. Evidence of how farm buildings have been neglected during the war period, due to labor and material shortages—and the farmer's lack of time—is indicated in a report. The provident farmer, looking to the future, will recognize, too, the likelihood of other increased costs that must be added to the "breakage" column—and provided for in extra War Bond purchases or bank savings. Tens of thousands of farm boys, now in the armed forces, will need temporary help in getting started again when they come back from the war—and perhaps more help than even a generous government will provide them. Men wear out, too, as well as machines—and farm medical and hospital bills will likely be higher for years to come as a result of war-time pressure. There is a happy side to agriculture's post-war reconversion problem, however, if the majority of farmers are financially prepared to make the necessary repairs and replacements. And that is the fact that billions spent for new equipment and new buildings and new supplies unavailable during war time will make a tremendous stockpile of work to cushion the economic shock of a shutdown of war industries. The people in cities and towns, as well as on the farms, will all be in need of the things they couldn't replace during the war—and if savings are made NOW for that purpose, they may pay double dividends then. It is to be hoped that all provident people are building their own post-war reconversion funds, rather than depending on government to do it for them. Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Phillips of route 4, Anaheim, are the parents of a daughter born Tuesday, Aug. 8, at Santa Ana Community hospital. Cafes Must Justify High Coffee Price Any restaurants selling hot coffee for more than 5 cents a cup are violating the new nation-wide restaurant pricing regulation if they have not filed with their local boards written statements showing that they charged the higher rate for the period of October 4-10, 1942. This requirement of the restaurant, which became effective Monday, July 31, was pointed out today by Fred C. Taylor, OPA price specialist, in answer to several queries from restaurant operators. “There is no dead-line,” Taylor said. “Under the act each eating establishment owner must file the statement with his local board before he charges more than 5 cents a cup for hot coffee. Those who were not in business in October, 1942, use the same freeze period charge made by restaurants of the same type in the same neighborhood.” “Patrons who believe they are being over-charged can file complaints with their local OPA boards for investigation and any justified action,” Taylor said. THURSDAY, August 10, 1944 ARM FOLKS HEADED FOR EIGHTH STRAIGHT America's farm folks appear to heading for their eighth straight year of record-breaking food production with the current USDA estimate for 1944 food production 38 percent above the pre-1935-39 average output which the 1943 record production exceeded by 32 percent. Thanks to the American farm not making production "miracles" the rule rather than the exception, U. S. civilians this year are eating as well as they did last year and 7 percent better than before the war with the remainder of the record production going to our Armed Forces, Lend-Lease, and liberated peoples. Most of the prospective increase this year is wheat, fruits, truck crops, and meats. Major decrease is in vegetables other than truck crops. Mrs. Regis Borden is Called to Rest Mrs. Regis Borden passed away on Wednesday evening at the family home at 420 North Lemon Street, at the age of 85 years. She was a native of Clifton, Ireland, and had lived in Anaheim for the past twelve years, and eighty years in the United States. Surviving are one son, Winfield (Win) Borden of Anaheim; three daughters, Mrs. Helen McLaine of Anaheim, Mrs. J. F. Hewitt and Mrs. Mona B. Saghaphi, both of New York City; three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Holy Rosary was recited in the Chapel of Backs, Campbell and Maulbars last Friday evening at 8 clock with mass at the St. Boniice church Saturday morning at no'clock. The body was shipped to New York City for burial. NOS ANGELES WITH MOTHER Mrs. W. D. Grafton of 207 South Roeger, left Tuesday for Los Angeles to be with her mother for day or so. She has been seriously ill for some time but is some- Lions USO Dance Enjoyable Affair Saturday Night The USO dance at Santa Ana, sponsored by the Anaheim Lions club last Saturday night, was reported to be one of the most successful affairs of the kind this season. This was the second dance sponsored by the local club for the cadets of Santa Ana Army Air Base and was attended by about 1,000 cadets and hostesses. Lee Fabian, Newell Christiansen and Stanley Mathea of the Lions club were in charge of arrangements. Several couples attended as hosts and hostesses. HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR ANAHEIM PARK Chris Van Oozbree of Laguna Beach, was a visitor in Anaheim on Monday, coming especially to see the Anaheim City park about which he had heard so much during the past months. In his praise of the park, he stated that never in his travels over the entire world had he seen such a beautiful park in small cities or large ones. He has visited parks in England, France, Italy, other Asiatic and European countries as well as in the South American countries and the only other park that he has seen that would compare with it was in Buenos Aires and it would not compare with the local park. Mr. Van Oozbree is a native of Amsterdam and has been in this country for a number of years. Only one out of a large group of convicts who volunteered for a dietary experiment in a midwestern prison had gums that were normal and free from disease. This man had been able to secure one or two oranges per day, in addition to the regular prison diet that was lacking in vitamin C. Phone your news items to The MAJOR OPERATION Mrs. Nan (Harry) Moore of 321 South Olive street, underwent a major operation at the Anaheim Lutheran hospital on Tuesday of this week and is getting along nicely at this time. It's too bad that California does not have a larger lemon supply this summer, for with the abundant egg production it might result in a record crop of lemon meringue pies! The 1943 commercial crop of apples—strong competitor of oranges and grapefruit—exceeded 88 million bushels but was the smallest in the last ten years. DO YOUR WAR DUTIES Buy more War Bonds—and cheerfully attend to other home-front duties. Let's get this war won quickly! A reminder... COACH SPACE MUST BE RESERVED IN ADVANCE on long distance S.P. trains Lately, people have been coming to our stations at the last minute without a coach reservation, expecting to get a seat on a train. Frequently they have been disappointed as no space was available for them. A year ago we established a coach reservation plan for all Southern Pacific trains, except local trains on short runs. We did this in the interests of our passengers, as our trains had been badly overcrowded. The plan has worked well, but we think it is timely to remind people that coach reservations are still necessary on Southern Pacific. If you plan to travel in a coach on a long distance S.P. train, here is what you should do: Buy your coach ticket well in advance of the day the train leaves. You will then be given a free reservation check. This check does not entitle you to a particular seat in a Pacific trains, except local trains on short runs.

You will nearly always find a seat, but there may be times when people will have to stand because of emergencies. You can get your ticket and reservations at any S.P. ticket office. Coach reservations cannot be made by telephone because telephone lines are overloaded with other calls. Service men make coach reservations, too, but they are given preference, of course. MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL — please don’t try to travel by train unless your trip is important to the war effort. There just isn’t room now on trains for vacation or other non-essential trips.
