PROGRAM FOR POST-WAR ERA CITY APPROVES LONG RANGE An adjourned meeting of the Chamber of Commerce board of directors unanimously endorsed the Anaheim plan last Thursday evening at a meeting in the city hall and if the city council, Realty board and other civic organizations follow suit Anaheim will be one of California’s first cities to launch a master, long-range, comprehensive program for the city’s development in the post-war period. Proposal for development of such a plan was made by E. W. Moeller, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, and followed weeks of study and survey of possibilities that will lead to commercial, industrial and cultural betterment within the city. Following endorsement by the board of directors the president, Everett Cone, was instructed to appoint a committee to adopt a method of procedure to put the plan into effect that it has been approved by the city and other civic organizations. The plan calls for the cooperation and collaboration of all civic leadership including service, industrial, financial, municipal, commercial, education, labor and Urge Public Be Told of Building Shortages Either the federal government agencies should restore building restrictions or fully advise the public of the shortage in building materials the Orange county Builders’ exchange stated last week in a resolution approved by members at their monthly meeting at Seal Beach. Directed to the federal housing administration the resolution urged that the agency, “make known a policy of elasticity in Following endorsement by the board of directors the president, Everett Cone, was instructed to appoint a committee to adopt a method of procedure to put the plan into effect that it has been approved by the city and other civic organizations. The plan calls for the cooperation and collaboration of all civic leadership including service, industrial, financial, municipal, commercial, education, labor and professional committees that will be coordinated by an executive committee and the city planning commission. The plan will be sponsored (if approved) by the city council and Chamber of Commerce and co-sponsored by the various civic organizations. Special activities will be carried on through committees manned by representatives of these various organized groups and their duties will be to submit programs, after careful study and research, to the executive committee or planning commission for processing. Salient feature of the plan is the drawing of a community blueprint or pattern which will be used as a flexible guide rule for progressive development in the era ahead. All activities will be divided into two general classifications, public and private projects, and each will be represented by a special committee. Among the committees to be appointed will be those covering industry, parking, agricultural, transportation, housing, recreation and retail planning. The advisory board will take care of finance, publicity, technical problems and statistics and will work with all committees. The meeting, presided over by Ernest Ganahl in the absence of the president, was well attended by representatives of various civic organizations as well as the chamber board of directors. Everett B. Mansur, assistant to the director of the California Reconstruction and Re-employment commission, was present and recommended the plan as a definite step forward in solving local post-war problems. He also outlined what other cities are doing along this line and emphasized that California will face tremendous adjustment problems when victory has been won. He also predicted that the unemployment problem will be greater than at any other time. The program as outlined specifically calls for the following: readiness on the part of the city to share in population growth, in Either the federal government agencies should restore building restrictions or fully advise thepublic of the shortage in building materials the Orange county Builders' exchange stated last week in a resolution approved by members at their monthly meeting at Seal Beach. Directed to the federal housing administration the resolution urged that the agency, "make known a policy of elasticity in cancellation of priorities which will permit planning by owners and contractors on a longer term basis as justified by the existing severely restricted market." Allison Honer, president, pointed out that building craftsmen are not available on the west coast because of the demand for them in shipyards, that the annual lumber production is 10,000,000 feet below requirements and that military needs must be met at the expense of civilian economy. He said that priorities have been issued in a lump total rather than on monthly schedule, despite inability of industry to meet such an expanded program. Hanford USO Director Talks To Rotary Club Until faith in peace treaties is permanently established, preparedness for war should be practiced at all times, Norman MacLeod, director of the Hanford USO, told members of the Rotary club Monday noon at the Elks club. Talking on the theme, "Can America Win the Peace," he pointed out that numerous attempts have been made in the past to attain a permanent peace but they have always failed because most nations are unwilling to relinquish their sovereignty. During the business meeting the birthday of Richard Roehm was observed and the wedding anniversary of M. A. Gauer. Plans were made to meet next week at the Fullerton Towne House with the Fullerton Rotary club.

CITRUS NEWS FOR GROWERS AND SHIPPERS BAD; PRICES DECLINE The market this week shows a sharp decline in prices and some cars of decayed fruit and extremely small sizes have sold at prices very little about freight charges. The continued cool, rainy weather in the mid-western and eastern states, particularly, has been a deciding factor in the price situation. Another contributing cause in the market values has been the extremely critical car situation during the past several weeks, however, a vast improvement is noted for the past several days. Indications at present are for sufficient supply for next week with the industry being able to meet the set shipment prorate. The only bright spot in the citrus market is the continued demand for valencia 288's and larger and which continue to sell at ceiling prices. The smaller sizes are very much lower with a dull demand. Many sales in both auction and private sales are much lower on these sizes where decay is present. Shippers have been advised to give very careful consideration their loadings and confine shipments to good quality fruit. The lemon market saw eighteen more cars shipped during the previous week over the week before, with the price slightly below the week before. Due to the cool weather existing, the lemon market in retail channels has been rather slow and as a result the car shipment prorate has been reduced in an effort to revive the market. Competition offered by other fruits is at a peak with last week's rail movement almost fifty per cent greater than last year and shipments of melons considerably heavier. Shipments peaches to date this year have been three times the volume shipped last season. Shippers are aware of the prevailing market situation and generally are conforming to the recommendation that off-size sizes be diverted into juice chars where it seems evident returns will be better than in the fresh fruit market.
