FOURTH OF JULY—1945 On the Fourth of July, our birthday as a free people, we have been accustomed to patriotic oratory, to the blare of bands and the tramp of marching feet as the veterans of past wars paraded by. We have felt a glow of pride and a sense of our great inheritance as the moving words of our Declaration of Independence were read to us. And we have gone to our homes when the celebration was over, with a new-born understanding of the great gift that our forefathers and the brave men who followed them, gave us—when they gave us America and American liberty. That was in normal times, in peace times, with our loved ones gathered around us for the family THE GENERAL AND THE G. I. In military rank, there's a great gulf between the general and the G.I., although normally each has a healthy respect for the other. Yet, like the colonels' lady and Judy O'Grady, who were sisters under the skin, there doesn't seem to be too much difference in the reactions of home-coming soldiers, whether they have stars on their shoulders or chevrons on their sleeves. The happy grin with which General Eisenhower greeted his wife and family—the grin which enthusiastic reporters said took Washington and New York by storm—was grand to see, but not very different from the joyous grin of any home-coming soldier Youth Symphony Wins Acclaim At Second Concert A large audience almost filled the Greek amphi-theater Friday night to hear the beautiful phonic music played by the range County Symphony orchestra in its second appearance in Anaheim this season. Directed by Norma Perkins the 70-piece orchestra is sponsored by the Anaheim Kiwanis club and this cert was under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce. Edwin Elliott of Santa Clarita trumpet soloist, and little West Taylor of Anaheim, narrator, acclaim for their ability and widely applauded in their spelling numbers. Introduced by E. W. Moore secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, the orchestra played a opening number, "Die Flemaus" by Johann Strauss and string section delightfully called the lilting waltz melody. Excerpts from the power "Sixth Symphony" by Tschaiksky was excellently interrupted with the brass and string sections skillfully blending in a combination of tone quality that most pleasing to the audience. Schubert's "Rosamunde Capture" and the ever familiar "Donderry Air" by Grainger enjoyed as was a seated Strauss number, "Pizzciato Piano" and the finale, "Marche Slav Tschaikowsky." Lecuona's lovely "Malagu Wagner's 'Procession of the Starsingers'" and the stirring lute to the United Nations Isaac were equally enjoyed. Wendell Taylor, as narrator, "The Three Bears" delighted audience with his clever humour. We have felt a glow of pride and a sense of our great inheritance as the moving words of our Declaration of Independence were read to us. And we have gone to our homes when the celebration was over, with a new-born understanding of the great gift that our forefathers and the brave men who followed them, gave us—when they gave us America and American liberty. That was in normal times, in peace times, with our loved ones gathered around us for the family and national holiday—with the sun shining brightly, with everything well with our world, and with fireworks scheduled in the park during the evening. We were patriotic, yes, in our easy-going fashion. We were even grateful, some of us, to those who had died to make it possible—and maybe even humble as we counted how much we owed them. But to many of us, the Fourth of July was just a holiday from work—a time to go fishing or hunting, a time to make merry. This year it is different—as different as blood from wine. We will still do many of the same things. We will still stand with bared heads as the Flag goes by, but we will see the red in The Red, White and Blue this year, and we will not think of our independence as something which some ancient forebears granted us, but as a precious, vital, living thing which our own sons and brothers are risking their lives to preserve for us. On July 4, 1945, we know the price of liberty. We know that the Declaration of Independence is an immortal document only because mortal men—the men of this community and of all the cities and towns of America—are willing to die to preserve it. Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians knew the art of manipulating yarns with needles. To provide facilities for the busy 578 miles of New York's waterfront, 722 piers are required. Tiny tubes developed for war purposes will make possible a 20 to 40 percent reduction in the size of postwar radio receivers. The happy grin with which General Eisenhower greeted his wife and family—the grin which enthusiastic reporters said took Washington and New York by storm—was grand to see, but not very different from the joyous grin of any homecoming soldier as he catches his first glimpse of loved faces and familiar places. General "Ike", despite the five stars on his shoulders, even forgot his sword, like the lowliest rookie, causing a 13-minute delay in his takeoff from Washington for New York. And the same day's grist of news which told of the general's unmilitary conduct in misplacing his sword also reported some of the spirited escapades of veteran G.I.'s of the fighting Eighty-sixth Division, as trains carried them to their homes in the four corners of the nation. When a general comes home, perhaps he gets a public reception with a lot of speechmaking and fanfare, some of which he might be glad to give a year of his life to escape. But who do you think has the most fun on his homebound trip? We'd bet on the G.I. Veterans Being Placed By USES Fifty-two returned veterans of World War II were placed in employment during the month of April by the office of the United States Employment Service, according to Ray Mathewson, manager of the office in Santa Ana. The placements for the month of March accounted for a total of sixty-nine. Increasing numbers of returning veterans are settling in southern California and other numbers are signifying their intentions of making their homes here, as can be ascertained in conversations with returnees. The fullest cooperation is being given to the USES offices by industry who are doing their utmost in absorbing capable craftsmen, professional and clerical workers. Schubert's "Rosamunde ture" and the ever familiar "donderry Air" by Grainger enjoyed as was a se Strauss number, "Pizzciato Pa and the finale," "Marche Slav Tschaikowsky." Lecuona's lovely "Malagu Wagner's "Procession of the stersingers" and the stirring lute to the United Nations Isaac were equally enjoyed. Wendell Taylor, as narrator "The Three Bears" delighted audience with his clever humorous recitation that was pressed by popular request. Talented Edwin Elliott exhibited much talent when he picked up the trumpet solo, "Hora Stack by Dinicu-Heifetz and the man in which he rendered the clear tones demonstrated that has a promising career before.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 50 Years Ago JULY 4, 1895 It may be interesting to know that the Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from a fruit canning company in the east, asking for information as to the prospects for starting a canning and pickling establishment at this point.

ALCOTT 289 WEST CENTER STREET WHEN SHOPPING PLEA COUNTY LEMON PRODUCTION COST STUDY IS COMPLETED What does it cost to produce lemons in Orange county? What is the average yield per acre? What are the various operation costs in the orchard? These and many other questions are answered in the lemon cost analysis just completed by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg of the Agricultural Extension service, in cooperation with the Citrus league. The study covers detail the production costs of the 1944 crop year and also gives a summary of the annual costs collected over a period of nineteen years. The average yield last year of the orchards reporting was 142 packed boxes per acre. The range of yields was 451 down to 69 packed boxes per acre. The year of highest yields in recent years was 1941, when the average yield was 293 packed boxes per acre. Average cultural costs included pruning $19.29 per acre, fertilization $31.64, spraying $17.27, disease control $13.26, frost protection $7.25, cultivation $14.20, irrigation labor $9.55, water $8.16, miscellaneous $10.79, taxes $10.29, interest on investment $56.58. Total "on tree" costs averaged $168.61 per acre. The cost of harvesting averaged $80.28 per acre. The total cost of these two items brings the average total cost of production to $248.89 per acre. The average return per packed box in 1944 was reported at $2.98, out of which the grower paid his cultural, harvesting and overhead costs. The cost analysis study has been conducted by the Agricultural Extension service at the request of the citrus industry as a source of authoritative data and also as a "yardstick" by which the grower might measure the efficiency of his orchard and management operations. Fruit Shipping Embargo Lifted Orange county's citrus packing industry breathed easier today as the embargo on the movement of all citrus fruit in the southland was lifted at 11:59 a.m. Wednesday. The embargo order was issued at noon Saturday by the Interstate Commerce Commission and became effective at midnight. Coming as a complete surprise to the packing industry, it was feared that the order might be extended past this Wednesday. Some plants were caught with hundreds of boxes of fruit ready for shipment and no place to store the fruit. It was feared that some would be lost due to lack of proper facilities for pre-cooling and storing the fruit. A similar embargo against the shipping of fruit was made for a three day period last year and was also issued without warning. In issuing the order the ICC allowed packers with cars already on sidings and in process of being loaded to continue the operation and to ice the cars. The cars, however, could not leave the siding until the embargo was lifted. 19 Enter Service On June 16 Call G. W. Sandlands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers association, estimates that this year's valencia crop will bring into this city three million dollars.

Your savings invested in War Bonds will help stabilize prices now and provide for your own security in the future. Local Fat Salvage Above Quota Again Anaheim housewives have again shown their loyalty in the apparent smaller tasks of this war by turning in 2,065 pounds of fat for salvage as against a quota of 1,688 pounds, exceeding the quota by 377 pounds. These figures are based on actual collections by local butchers as reported to WPB by renderers who process fats for war use. In other sections of the state, many communities have dropped below their quotas which may partly be due to the scarcity of meat. A similar embargo against the shipping of fruit was made for a three day period last year and was also issued without warning. In issuing the order the ICC allowed packers with cars already on sidings and in process of being loaded to continue the operation and to ice the cars. The cars, however, could not leave the siding until the embargo was lifted. 19 Enter Service On June 16 Call Nineteen men from this district were inducted into the armed services on the June 16 call, 17 in the Army and two in the Navy, it was announced today.
