CALIF. FRUIT DISTRIBUTORS TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY Next Saturday, May 18, California Fruit Distributors will hold open house at their new plant-home at 113 East Walnut avenue in Fullerton, the construction being completed this week. The new plant, costing an estimated $150,000, was started on December 1, 1945, and replaces the plant that was destroyed by fire in December of 1944. Of the total sum, $75,000 is for the construction of the building and $75,000 for the new machinery and equipment. During the past year the California Fruit Distributors have packed their fruit in the Placentia Orange Growers packing house in Fullerton. The Brogdex Machinery company of Pomona, is installing the new machinery and equipment. Among the several new ideas incorporated in the new plant, is a two-and-over sizer which separates large and small oranges on grading tables, and also a new type lowerator which takes a full stack of fruit to the base-ment. Resizing of juice grade oranges is also a new idea in packing house fruit processing. The building is 288 feet long by 61 feet wide on the ground floor. Of this space 200 feet are for the packing house and 88 feet for the empty box shed. The basement is 190 feet long by 61 feet wide. The plant also is equipped with a double hydraulic lowerator "HERE'S HOW YOU CAN CUSHION YOUR TRACTOR'S SIDE HILL WORK!" "HERE'S HOW YOU CAN CUSHION YOUR TRACTOR'S SIDE HILL WORK!"

YOUR NEW Electric Water Heater Soon you will be able to buy that spic and span new Electric Water Heater—and you'll be glad you waited for an electric! It gives you plenty of hot water anytime, of course. But more than that, an electric water heater can be installed anywhere because it needs no vent or flue. Automatic? Completely! And as thrifty as a newly-wed on a budget, thanks to Edison's low rate for water heating. Why settle for anything less than an Electric Water Heater? Ask your dealer. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY A crop-elevator, a stack dump and an improved washer tank. Additional special features include a brush type water eliminator, an improved waxer and polisher, a split size grading table, the two-hand-over sizer and other new features. Since the loss of the Fullerton plant, the California Fruit Distributors have worked under adverse conditions, for themselves as well as the Placentia Orange growers who have a large number of grower-customers who depend upon this firm to handle their crop each year. The new plant in Fullerton will, in a great measure, enable each of these firms to give a greater service than before and help them to handle additional grower crops. Owner of the California Fruit Distributors is Ben Fink of Fullerton, and Sigmund Fink, his son, buyer and field manager. These genial owners are happy to invite all fruit growers and friends of the growers to visit their plant next Saturday and to view the newest in fruit packing equipment. Tipton Visiting Voting Precincts Legion Auxiliary Poppy Day Sales Set For May 24-25 How the wild poppy of France and Belgium became the memorial flower of America's dead of both world wars was described by Mrs. Margaret Boysen, president and Poppy chairman of Anaheim unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, as the unit prepares for observance of Poppy Day here Friday and Saturday, May 24-25. "Amid the desolation of the battlefront in the first world war," said Mrs. Boysen, "the poppies were the one touch of nature's beauty that survived. The little red flowers grew along the trenches and shell holes, and over the raw earth of the battle graves. In the minds of the men fighting there, the poppies became associated with their dead comrades. "Expression was given to this sentiment by Colonel John McCrae, Canadian medical officer, in his immortal poem, with its lines: "'In Flanders fields the poppies blow, Between the crosses row on row—' "Replicas of the Flanders fields poppy were first worn in America in honor of the war dead in 1918, and the wearing of these flowers on the Saturday before Memorial Day soon became a nation-wide custom. "When the second world war began claiming American lives, the poppy, quite naturally, became the symbol of these added sacrifices for the nation. The largest part of the World War II battle deaths also occurred in northern Europe where the poppy grows, but no matter where Americans died, the poppy pays tribute to them." Pan-Hellenic Group Hostess To Sororities A versatile puppet show and discussion of future plans, including boxes of food and clothing for Holland and a benefit bridge party, highlighted the regular monthly meeting of the Pan-Hellenic chapter when members entertained girls from the Kappa Lambda Sigma and Theta Nu Theta, local sororities of Fullerton Junior college, at the spacious home of Mrs. W. E. Spencer of Whittier on the mammoth Murphy ranch last Monday evening. Hostesses for the gala affair were Mrs. Patrick and her daughter, Miss Willie Patrick; Mrs. Vera Ferraris, Mrs. Val Linde, Mrs. Arthur Spitzer and Mrs. Esther Litchfield Hatch. Puppets presented by Miss Florence Hilton of Fullerton providing entertainment, included the famous clown, Toby; the "long-haired" piano player, the opera singer, and the humorous Laurel and Hardy act. The methods of entering the Pan-Hellenic national sorority and proper occasions for wearing or refraining from wearing the insignia pin were discussed by the group. The benefit bridge party, scheduled to be presented in the Women's Lounge at Fullerton Junior college June 15, will create a scholarship fund at the college for four students represented Fullerton, Anaheim, Brea-Olinda and Placentia high schools, to be chosen from the top ten on the schools' scholastic honor rolls. This scholarship fund is established annually by the Pan-Hellenic members. More boxes of food and cloth... Walter E. Tipton Walter E.

The Citrus Grower's Toughest Battleground SYRACUSE—It's one thing to read statistics on Florida's big citrus production. It's another thing to drop into an eastern town like this, walk through 8 or 10 jobbers' warehouses and find the boxes of Florida fruit 'way outnumbering our own in every one! This state of affairs has been aggravated during the last few years, because under price control a smaller proportion of California fruit has been shipped this far east. More than ever, these eastern markets are the west coast citrus growers' toughest battleground. Here's where Florida sends its best fruit—fruit that's grown, packed and shipped at far less cost than ours. It rolls into these eastern markets in tremendous volume and has always sold at substantially lower prices. Furthermore, Florida production is increasing: close to 40,000 new acres will come into bearing in the next 4 years. When you see all these Florida labels staring at you, you scratch your head and wonder—"How are we going to hold our own here when income declines and demand slacks off again?" Put this $64 question up to Tom Smith, Sunkist District Sales Manager here. Smith thought awhile and then said, "Well, let's take stock." "First of all," he said, "California growers produce practically all the lemons. No competition from other producing areas. Second—during the summer they have the fresh orange market pretty much to themselves while Florida fruit is out of season. "Third, during the season when the Florida fruit floods these markets, California still has the advantage in quality. Don't overlook that! A good California orange beats anything produced elsewhere. "Here in the Syracuse territory, we have a lot of people who insist on quality. That's true of other areas." EDWARDS COFFEE Vacuum-packed, full flavor. Reg., drip, pulverized. 2-lb. Jar, 53c.

"Third, during the season when the Florida fruit floods these markets, California still has the advantage in quality. Don't overlook that! A good California orange beats anything produced elsewhere. "Here in the Syracuse territory, we have a lot of people who insist on quality. That's true of other areas in these eastern states. These people are accustomed to the best. They're very responsive to national advertising. They buy by brand—and when it comes to oranges and lemons, the top brand is Sunkist." "You make me feel better," your reporter said. "Oh, it's not going to be easy!" Smith cautioned. "We'll have to supply a quality product and a quality pack, strongly advertised and aggressively sold, if we are to command a premium price. If we don't, we're sunk. If we do, we'll come out all right." "Looks to me," your reporter said, "that if California and Arizona growers are going to keep a fair share of the business in these populous eastern states, they must do it through the Exchange." "Of course! It’s the kind of job only the Exchange can do." A puzzled look came over Smith's face. "You know," he said, "that’s so obvious to us here in the East that we can't understand why any grower stays out." More from Syracuse in this paper one week from today.
