Anaheim — "The City of Beautiful Parks" VOLUME LXXV A Legal Newspaper We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR In and About "The Orange Capitol of the World" (The statements or opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the policy or sentiments of this newspaper, or its publisher has happened to me in Anaheim, so I know what I'm talking about.

Present ship (The statements or opinions expressed in this column are those of the writer and do not necessarily represent the policy or sentiments of this newspaper, or its publishers.) Now that the election is over, and unless "they" turn on the heat again, this column will be revived after being suppressed since the issue of October 5, the week observed as "Freedom of the Press" week, when I must have said something that led somebody to believe I was a Democrat. As far as I know, however, nobody missed the column, and whatever I said probably didn't amount to much as the closest community that went Democratic was Brea, which I'm sure was not influenced by this column. Anyway, there's plenty of other things to talk about besides politics, and for five weeks I have been relieved of the little chore of writing the copy for this space. From now on we'll just talk about the weather, of which we have had a fair sample the past week. As self-appointed president of the Cigarette Smokers Association, I am hereby calling a cigarette smokers' strike, to continue for at least 30 days from this date. The proposition is this: If every cigarette smoker in America will quit asking for or buying, or accepting any brand of ready-made cigarettes for 30 days the so-called cigarette shortage will come to a sudden end. The report is that all warehouses in the distribution centers are filled to the rafters with cigarettes, yet you have to sneak around and whisper and put on a sad look to even get one package slipped to you from the palm of the hand. Just exactly what is back of the deal has not been told by the cigarette manufacturers, and it can be taken for granted that they know. At any rate "there's a nigger in the wood-pile" somewhere and the best way to smoke him out is for the cigarette smokers to quit smoking ready-made cigarettes. Don't accept them under any circumstances; roll your own, smoke a pipe, smoke a grapevine, or do without if necessary for at least 30 days and you'll break the back of the has happened to me in Anaheim, so I know what I'm talking about. Maybe it's time for the consumers to call a strike and not ask for or accept any hog meat of any description for at least 30 days. I have about come to the conclusion that the consumers have some rights while all this shake-down business is going on, but they'll have to act and not just talk about it. The local markets are not to blame, it goes farther back than that. I am really sorry about the passing of Wendell Willkie. This nation undoubtedly lost a man who would have had something to do with economic and social reforms that would have changed the history of this country, had he lived. You cannot read his book, "One World," without having the feeling that he at least was groping for a cure for the many ills that beset this country and the world. Willkie was a great campaigner. His nearest equal campaign field is Gomer Smith of Oklahoma City, who ran for the U.S. senate on the Townsend pension plan platform, and of course lost the race. He's a Democrat too. Wendell Willkie was a good Democrat until he made millions and millions of dollars in the utility business and as attorney for the utility group fighting the Tennessee Valley Authority. Democrats who get into the multi-millionaire class almost invariably switch their politics, and I would probably do the same thing, and so would you. However, I have a feeling that Wendell Willkie absorbed some of the humanitarian spirit from his close association with President Roosevelt and I believe he had some compassion for the millions and millions of people in this country who have nothing but the clothes on their backs, whether paid for or not. There are already rumblings that Willkie's death may have come about such circumstances of that of poor Woodrow Wilson who died of a broken heart because his own people wouldn't back him up with support for the League of Nations, which mistake on our part is responsible for the present war. When you conduct this kind of what is back of the deal has not been told by the cigarette manufacturers, and it can be taken for granted that they know. At any rate "there's a nigger in the woodpile" somewhere and the best way to smoke him out is for the cigarette smokers to quit smoking ready-made cigarettes. Don't accept them under any circumstances; roll your own, smoke a pipe, smoke a grapevine, or do without if necessary for at least 30 days and you'll break the back of the frame-up, whatever it is. Some reports say the manufacturers or distributors are trying to raise the price and so far OPA has defied them in that move. It is known that some distributors are forcing the retail dealers to buy so many boxes of candy and/or other merchandise in order to obtain a carton or two of cigarettes. Whatever the monkey business is, the smokers still can control the situation by refusing to accept ready-made cigarettes of any kind for just 30 days. Pass the word along and, starting today, don't buy another cigarette until they come back on the stands by the carton with the "limit" removed. (Other papers please copy.) There's another nigger in the woodpile, this one in connection with the distribution of pork. Personally I don't care for pork, except bacon, but many others are fond of all fresh or cured pork. It is a known fact that the past season saw the biggest hog production in the history of the nation. In fact there has been, and still is, an over-production of hogs, yet you can hardly buy any hog meat straight across the board. In some markets you can get a half-pound of bacon provided you spend a dollar or two for some other kinds of meat. If you buy your Sunday beef roast in the morning and come back for some bacon in the afternoon, you can't have the bacon because you are not also buying a beef roast. That country who have nothing but the clothes on their backs, whether paid for or not. There are already rumblings that Willkie's death may have come about under such circumstances of that of poor Woodrow Wilson who died of a broken heart because his own people wouldn't back him up with support for the League of Nations, which mistake on our part is responsible for the present war. When you conduct this kind of a "thinking outloud" column the chances are that you're going to be wrong some of the time, maybe most of the time. You may even change your own mind about the things you argue with yourself about, from day to day, or whenever you discover you were wrong in the first place. That's why I want you to finally form your own opinions, but sometimes we get a different slant on something or other just by listening to an argument on the subject. My object is not to influence anybody erroneously, but maybe sometimes to inject a new or different angle into some question that perhaps you had not come to a definite conclusion about. So, even when I'm wrong I may drop a hint that will cause you to solve some question to your own satisfaction, at least. There shouldn't be much harm in that kind of a program. If we ever settle down to trying to improve our country instead of destroying it section by section, expecting to move on to a new virgin spot, we could really make something out of this land we stole from the Indians. We've all been about like the old farmer who said, "these college guys couldn't tell him anything about farming and soil conservation because he had already worn out six farms and knew all about how to farm." We have millions of acres of land that is classified as "waste" land, most of which can PUBLIC LIBRARY NO. Because of the few books listed due to the short paper and delay in new books will be added first of the month. 6th WAR LOAN DRIVE ST Valencia Crop Practically Absorbed With California Market Taking Balance According to reliable reports the Valencia orange crop has been practically absorbed with eastern shipments almost at an end, the last cars bringing $4.43 f.o.b., as compared to a price of $4.05 f.o.b. last year and $4.21 in 1942. It is also reported that all remaining supplies is being taken by California markets. Present shipments are falling below previous estimates. Arizona, indicate that early navels are now in the first picking stage and some fruit will move to local markets perhaps this week. The navel crop in the Central California district matures 60 to 70 days ahead of the Southern district fruit and the harvest will be well under way by the first of December. HARBOR BOARD MEETING POSTPONED ONE WEEK The regular meeting of the Harbor Commission that was to have been held last Monday was postponed until next Monday, November 20, it was announced by Chairman Walter S. Spicer. YMCA DRIVE GOES OVER THE TOP FOR $5,570 The YMCA drive for operating funds for the coming year went over the top with a total fund of $5,570 raised, according to Paul Demaree, general chairman.

He was a Stanton, Nebr., and had Seal Beach for eight ye Valencia orange crop has been practically absorbed with eastern shipments almost at an end, the last cars bringing $4.43 f.o.b., as compared to a price of $4.05 f.o.b. last year and $4.21 in 1942. It is also reported that all remaining supplies is being taken by California markets. Present shipments are falling below previous estimates, however the market remains strong at ceiling prices for whatever stocks are left. A formal request has been filed to have the summer ceiling price extended beyond November 15, in order to clean up the year's supply on an even margin. If the request is denied, however, the price will drop 45 cents a box. Lemons arriving at the packing houses are much below normal supplies and the change in the ceiling price as of November 1 dropped the price 17 cents a box, although they are still selling much higher than last year and practically double the price of three years ago. Reports from the Central-Northern California district, and from Arizona, indicate that early navels are now in the first picking stage and some fruit will move to local markets perhaps this week. The navel crop in the Central California district matures 60 to 70 days ahead of the Southern district fruit and the harvest will be well under way by the first of December. The Central district crop, small compared to this area, is estimated at only 12,000 cars which is 20 percent lighter than last season. Official reports from the Department of Agriculture on the hurricane losses in Florida states that 19.2 percent of the total Florida orange crop was blown to the ground. It is also estimated that 43 percent of the Florida grapefruit crop was destroyed. These estimates do not allow for damage to fruit still remaining on the trees, or which may still drop from storm or pest damage. The damage to Florida oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines is estimated at 64,355 cars with no estimate made of the damage to fruit still on the trees. Anaheim City Receipts for 1942-43 Show Gain Over Previous Year of 1941-42 Anaheim city receipts for 1942-43 totalled $175,926, compared with 1941-42 receipts of $167,353. Cost payments of the city government for 1942-43 totalled $325,138, compared with $323,030 for 1941-42. These data, the latest available, were made public today by the California Taxpayers' association as part of its analysis of local government finance during the war years. Both receipts and payments exclude public service enterprise, special assessment, debt obligation, and trust transactions. Of the 284 incorporated municipalities, 200 showed decreased payments for 1942-43 and 84 showed increased cost payments for 1942-43 compared with 1941-42. Throughout California, the cities spent $128,308,650 during 1942-43, compared with $134,366,229 in 1941-42, a drop of about $6,000,-000. Receipts of California cities for 1942-43 totalled $132,475,450 compared with $133,290,441 for 1941-42, a decrease of less than one million dollars when the two years are compared. Biggest single municipal expenditure was for protection to persons and property, which took $46,712,872 of the $128,308,650 total. Biggest source of city revenues was the general property tax, which brought in $90,139,080 of the $132,475,450 city receipts in 1942-43. "Where the city fathers are not confronted with the necessity of laying away reserves for needed capital outlays," the Taxpayers' association said, "there is no question that any excess monies in the treasury should be used for tax reduction this year." Sunshine Here After Worst November Storm of Recent Years; 4.26 Inches Rain Following almost a week of unseasonable stormy weather,ESSARY for weeks to come, possiblyThe regular meeting of the Harbor Commission that was to have been held last Monday was postponed until next Monday, November 20, it was announced by Chairman Walter S. Spicer. YMCA DRIVE GOES OVER THE TOP FOR $5,570 The YMCA drive for operating funds for the coming year went over the top with a total fund of $5,570 raised, according to Paul Demaree, general chairman. The campaign teams were captained by Wilbert Bonney and Frank Kellogg.

Huntington Beach Host to County Legion Council Leland S. Chambers of Joseph Rodman Post No. 133, Huntington Beach, was host chairman at Friday night's Orange County Council, American Legion, meeting held at Memorial hall in Huntington Beach. Following a 6:30 dinner served by the ladies of the Legion Auxiliary, Dr. Walter A. McClenegan, pastor of the Methodist church in that city gave an Armistice Day address. A large delegation from Anaheim, headed by Commander L. N. Wisser, including four World War II members, attended the meeting. The Veterans of World War II who were inducted into the County Council were Donald Wooten, Lucino Pulido, James G. Gillison, and Arval Triplett. Four World War veterans of Huntington Beach were also inducted. Commander K. B. Rigby of Anaheim Sunshine Here After Worst November Storm of Recent Years; 4.26 Inches Rain Following almost a week of unseasonable stormy weather, during which time rain fell intermittently in proportions ranging from a drizzle to a torrential downpour, the sun broke bright and clear Wednesday morning. The mercury stood at 52 degrees with a brisk wind blowing from the east. During the five-day period starting last Thursday night, 4.26 inches of rain was recorded locally, bringing the season's total to date to 5.26 inches, the heaviest precipitation since 1939 when heavy rains during September brought the total to 6.13 inches. Last year at this time only .27 of an inch of rain had been recorded. According to reports from Los Angeles, that city's rainfall record for 44 years was shattered when the total reached 3.98 inches as compared to November 1900 when 6.53 inches of rainfall was recorded. Considerable minor damage was also reported from the Los Angeles metropolitan area ranging from trees uprooted by the wind to small damage from run-off flood waters. Orange county suffered little damage from either wind or flood run-off and the ground-soaking rain is heralded as a blessing in disguise. Irrigation will be unnecessary for weeks to come, possibly not before the normal rainy season, saving the ranches of the district many thousands of dollars for water and labor. Visitors returning from the mountain resorts report heavy rains and snow fall throughout the area. Following the all-day downpour at Big Bear Lake the moisture turned to snow at 10 o'clock Saturday night blanketing the mountain area with ten inches of fluffy snow. This was followed by an additional fall during the first three days of the week. Snow plows kept the road open during the storm and visitors negotiated the high-gear route both ways, during the rain and snow storm. The snow reached approximately down to the 3,500 foot level from the 7,000-foot summit. With the early snow fall Big Bear Valley may experience another 17-foot record equal to that of last year. Orange county's hill pasture land is already beginning to show a tinge of green and stockmen are rejoicing over the prospects of early green forage for range cattle. Considerable damage was reported from soil erosion and farm organizations are already planning to observe better soil practices to check further loss of tons of valuable top soil. GET MARRIAGE LICENSE Harry Hampton Kerr, Jr., of Sunset Cliffs, Calif., and Roseann Catherine Mandeville of Anaheim, were issued a marriage license at the county court house in Santa Ana last Monday.

The Veterans of World War II who were inducted into the County Council were Donald Wooten, Lucino Pulido, James G. Gillison, and Arval Triplett. Four World War veterans of Huntington Beach were also inducted. Commander K. B. Rigby of Anaheim was chairman of the business meeting.

Citrus Industry Gets Largest Return Ever Known, Annual Report Shows LOS ANGELES—“The combination of an abundant crop and a good price level produced the largest return the California-Arizona citrus industry has ever known,” stated general manager Paul S. Armstrong at the annual meeting of the California Fruit Growers Exchange yesterday in Los Angeles. “If this increased desire for citrus fruit that is so apparent throughout the nation is matched by continued ability to buy, enormous crops can be sold at good prices. Citrus growers are therefore concerned with the formulation of sound postwar programs that will maintain a high standard of living in all parts of the United States and among all classes of our citizens.” Over 7 percent of Exchange shipments, 3,212,000 boxes, went direct to the armed forces. Recent reports show that increasing amounts of fresh citrus are being shipped to the U.S. fighting men in all parts of the world. A major share of the Exchange orange and lemon products plants was used by the government for military or lease-lend purposes. Government by-products requirements showed some decrease during the year, making more fresh fruit available for civilian consumption. The national citrus crop was the largest in history with California and Arizona shipping 133,000 cars. While most citrus marketing costs increased during the past year, Exchange costs of five and one half cents per box exclusive of advertising represented a decrease. The decrease was largely due to the increased volume of fruit. With the exception of lemons, all varieties of citrus produced bountiful crops. California's lemon crop was the smallest in five years but shipments were only 300 cars less than for the heavy crop of 1943. This was accounted for by the fact that only 4,700 cars of lemons were used in by-products manufacture this year compared with 13,000 cars in 1943. Continued educational-type advertising in all sections of the country played an important role in the successful marketing of Exchange fruit. Directed to the mass wage earner population, it accounted for increased sales of citrus to that important group. CYPRESS-MAGNOLIA FARM CENTER MEETS TONIGHT Tonight at 6:30 the meeting of the Cypress-Magnolia Farm Center will open with a pot-luck dinner, to be followed at 7:30 by a program arranged by Henry Ramm, program chairman. Highlighting the entertainment will be Rev. J. R. Harrison who will present a group of his tricks in magic. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Zackey will present vocal duets and there will be other entertainment features. Elaborate plans have been made for opening the 6th War Loan Bond Drive Monday in Anaheim with Paul H. Demaree again acting as general chairman and Lee Fabian again in charge of the forces of the Merchants 3rd Army which distinguished itself in the Fifth Bond Drive. Attending the organization meeting at the high school were Chairman Demaree, high school superintendent; Wilson Phelps of the Southern Counties Bank, Lee Fabian of Fabian's Store, Mrs. C. O. Waters, representing the Parent-Teachers association; Don Schneider, Toastmasters club; Al Nellesen, Knights of Columbus; Clyde Brown, Fox Theatre; Marshall McFee of the Postoffice; Mrs. John Wilson, Senior Ebell club; Miss Lillian Knutson, Junior Ebell club; O. A. Hanson, Bank of America and president Chamber of Commerce; A. J. Schutte, representing the rural area; Miss Ruth Williams, Business and Professional Women's club; and Gilbert Keohler of the Elks club. Mr. Schutte, member of the board of the Farm Bureau, stated his board would meet this week to map plans for conducting the drive in the rural territory included in the Anaheim area. Anaheim's quota is somewhat less than for the 5th War Bond Drive when $1,400,000 was the goal. This quota was oversubscribed, however the quota for the 6th Bond Drive has been cut to $1,250,000. The drive will open next Monday and continue through December 16. Chairman Demaree and his co-workers are anxious to uphold Anaheim's reputation of being among the first to reach the quota and a whirlwind campaign is planned to reach the quota as far in advance of the closing date as possible. A new point of interest in the campaign during the 6th Drive will be a Queen contest to be staged by the high school. The plan has been approved by the bond committee and prizes will be provided to stimulate interest among the junior group of bond salesmen. Highlighting various entertainment features to be put on during the drive will be a two hour and 20 minute show by Rudy Valee and his entertainers on the night of December 9. Admission to this event will be one $25 bond with a limit of three admissions to the same bond holder. The entertainers will be given Associated C. of C. to Meet at Garden Grove, Monday, Nov. 20; Hiways Theme Clay Kellogg, president of the Associated Chamber of Commerce of Orange County, announces the next meeting of the county association to be held Tuesday evening, November 21, in the Legion hall at Garden Grove, starting at 7:00 p.m. This is a special meeting with Newport's postmaster, H. F. Kenny, acting as master of ceremonies. Mr. Kenney is the chairman of the Hi-Ways committee for the Associated Chambers. The topic to be confronted is of most importance today, it will bring out the program and problems of Orange county hi-ways. The free-ways, the park-ways and the proposed, Orange county secondary hi-ways are all problems today, and a definite program must be worked out so that postwar funds may be set aside to put into action the development of hi-way building following the war. Outstanding persons to speak on this subject will be Honorable Harrison Baker, member of the State Hi-Way commission; Honorable Willis Warner, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors; A. A. Beard, county hi-way and roads superintendent; Captain W. K. Hillyard, county surveyor; E. E. East, chief engineer Automobile Club of Southern California; Dave Olmstead, public relations officer City of Long Beach. According to Dahl Shearer, Chamber of Commerce secretary of Garden Grove, who has dinner tickets printed and ready for sale, a good Turkey dinner, Garden Grove style, is all arranged and reservations are most important. Therefore, everyone wishing to attend are urged to make reservations with William Gallienne, secretary-treasurer of the Associated Chamber of Commerce, with headquarters at Huntington Beach, not later than Monday, Nov. 20.

City Clerk Chas. Griffith will again act as treasurer and all workers who participated in the last bond drive will be active in helping Anaheim go over the top in record time, as usual. War Bonds as Christmas gifts will be stressed during the drive and such slogans as "A Bond on Every Christmas Tree," and "Trim Your Tree With Stamps and Bonds," will be used in various advertising programs carried on during the drive. With both the Germans and Japanese showing stubborn resistance in the war theaters, the end of the war is not even in sight and more interest than ever is expected to follow the 6th War Bond Drive. Many Anaheim and Orange county men are in the fighting and every war bond sold means the possibility yof saving the life of one of these men.
