BUY ONE, WON'T YOU! Friday and Saturday a humble nation will honor its disabled veterans and the boys who have been left behind on foreign shores, sleeping in eternal rest. For a quarter of a century Americans have been purchasing the red, imitation poppy, immortalized in the poem "Flanders Field," symbolizing the shedding of this nation's youth's blood on foreign shores. Today those foreign shores are not in Europe alone. They extend now to many unnamed islands in the Pacific wastes; the atolls of Okinawa; the Aleutians; Tarawa; and desert sands of Africa. And tomorrow and the next day the memory of those boys who died in bleak, utter loneliness will not be entirely forgotten if we'll purchase a "paper" poppy. For the funds derived from their sale goes to the aid of our disabled war veterans and to the widows and orphans of those gallant dead. Bring new hope into the hearts of our bed-ridden fighting men and help gladden the spirit of thousands of widows and orphans—buy a poppy! KEEP THEM SAILING! Yesterday was National Maritime Day. Authorized by Congress and proclaimed by President Truman, it marked this nation's halfway milestone in its conversion from global war to global trade. Prior to the war, Maritime Day was the anniversary of the sailing of the first trans-Atlantic steamship from the United States in 1819 and was dedicated to the creation of a Merchant Marine adequate for our foreign and domestic commerce, and capable of supporting our armed forces in war. Today those foreign shores are not in Europe alone. They extend now to many unnamed islands in the Pacific wastes; the atolls of Okinawa; the Aleutians; Tarawa; and desert sands of Africa. And tomorrow and the next day the memory of those boys who died in bleak, utter loneliness will not be entirely forgotten if we'll purchase a "paper" poppy. For the funds derived from STATE CONTROLLER THOMAS H. KUCHEL VOTE TO KEEP the incumbent Thomas H. Kuchel (pronounced Kee-kl) State Controller VETERAN WORLD WAR II Kuchel was appointed State Controller upon the death of Harry B. Riley Prior to the war, Maritime Day was the anniversary of the sailing of the first trans-Atlantic steamship from the United States in 1819 and was dedicated to the creation of a Merchant Marine adequate for our foreign and domestic commerce, and capable of supporting our armed forces in war. After 1940 the day was dedicated to the great drive for ships, and more ships. As we got the ships, the day was dedicated to manning and operating them to deliver the supplies needed to win the war. Both jobs were done, with your help, and the help of the brave, youthful crews that manned them. Now today our country's maritime commission faces the tremendous task of putting into effect the late President Roosevelt's directive calling for the preparation of a "bold and daring plan" to preserve our postwar Merchant Marine. Today our task is to weave a network of domestic lines spanning the world bringing the lavish gifts that a benevolent God has bestowed upon us, to other nations not so fortunate. Today we have some 6000 vessels, most of them built since those fateful days in 1939 when government's foundations felt the first stirrings of an awakening war god. Today that monster of human destruction has been chained, for how long remains only for time to tell. Our government today seeks to keep our shipbuilding skills alive. To meet deficiencies now existent the Maritime Commission will provide parity payments to make up the difference in construction costs to offset the competitive cost of low-wage foreign competition. Already under this program 17 vessels are nearing completion; plans for a dozen more have been completed and construction on some of them is slated immediately. Want to travel?

CALIFORNIA FRUIT DISTRIBUTORS 113 E. Walnut St. Phone 1060 Fullerton, Calif. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago June 3 1871 We have heretofore spoken of the importance of county division, and urged that ways and means be taken to effect the desired end—desirable on account of convenience and economy. The county affairs as they have been managed for years, display nothing but an expensive monopoly, which is unjust to every man south of the San Gabriel. By our enormous taxes we foot the extravagant bills of officers that we have no voice in putting forward for election, as well as fat perquisites to a host of their extravagant relatives. County property is retained exclusively in the city of Los Angeles (an item referred to is the county fire hose), and now our neighbors, fearing we are to obtain a division, have through their board of supervisors, issued $25,000 in county bonds for the building of a court house. More than one-half of this sum must now be footed by the people of the San Gabriel; while if the county had been divided at the last session of the legislature, we would have been saved that expense, and with less than half the amount could have built a suitable court house at the new county seat wherever it would have been located. The vineyardists of Anaheim contemplate organizing a private wine company in order to make large and direct transactions. The New York Wine and Fruit reporter contains the following about our wines: "After all has been said it must be clear to the unprejudiced that the future of great one, and that the young giant will before long, with few exceptions, not only compete with, but at a later day will outvie the best foreign wines. For the especial use of the invalid California wine is now beginning to displace the European of the same grade, as physicians place more confidence in the purity and genuineness of the native product than in foreign wines, which are generally much more expensive and rarely unadulterated. At the meeting of the city trustees Saturday night it was resolved to revoke the right of way of the Anaheim Railroad Company through the city. The ground alleged for the action was that the city did not own the streets, but that they belonged to the water company. On motion the salary of the city clerk was reduced from $12 per month to $8 per month. A party of excursionists went through Los Angeles to San Diego some days ago, taking with them a base ball team. The game with San Diego resulted in a victory for the southern city, the score being 48 to 35. Married in Anaheim on Sunday, May 21-1871, at 6 p.m. by Rev.

The retiring president, Jerry Shields of Bakersfield, after two years service as president of the group, was presented with a wrist watch at a banquet on the 16th by Frank Harwood of Santa Ana, who will be both legislative and membership chairman for the state in 1947.

The graduates are Theresa Fay, Ella and Alice Warner, Ava Evans, Julia Abbey, Minnie Champlin, Stephen Rimpau, Waldo Brown, Will Hack and Archer Fay. The program for commencement exercises has not yet been completed, but the custom of holding exercises in the opera house will probably be adhered to. All of the graduates will probably attend the Santa Ana high school. Sam Federman has achieved distinction in Los Angeles—he has succeeded in having the name of Sand street changed to California street, and now they are thinking of running him for mayor. It takes an Anaheim man to rattle up the dry bones of the ancient Angelic town. Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock a heavy Scotch mist prevailed, and people with straw hats thought of going home for their unbrellas. This is the most remarkable season climatically in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Mrs. Rogers entertained the ladies at progressive euchre at her residence in East Anaheim Friday afternoon: Mrs. Melrose was awarded the first prize, Mrs. McKinley the second and Mrs. Perdomo the conspiration. Light refreshments were served and after an afternoon of pleasurable association the party dispersed. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Christ, the afternoon of the 12th. Will Lawrence the expert Southern Pacific telegrapher at Shorb station, and champion pool player of Orange county arrived in town yesterday on a ten-day lay-off. He has had the mumps, and came to his old home to recuperate. At the annual meeting of the Fullerton Walnut Growers on Monday, Sydmer Ross, W. M. McFadden, B. F. Porter, S. F. Daniels, and A. T. Pendleton were elected directors for the ensuing year. A meeting of southern California walnut growers will be held in Los Angeles June 9. New telephones were yesterday installed at the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe depots, the Hotel del Campo, now called the Pacific Sanitarium, and Druggist Derge's new home. Seale's delivery horse, having been kept on a diet of too much oats, took it into his head to spin around the blocks on Tuesday afternoon, and tore out the back yard, dragging the delivery wagon after him and leaving a cloud of dust in his wake. He spun around in front of Dr. Lee's and turned towards the school house and around to Center street and thence into Los Angeles, where he was caught by Nick Hugo who ran across the street and stayed the mad animal in its flight. No damages. One of the most enjoyable gatherings of the season was the progressive euchre party given by Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose at their home on Friday evening. Miss Olga Zens and Gilbert Landell were awarded the first prize and Miss Stella Lewis and Gus Langenberger the boobles. Refreshments were served after the game.

M., was established by the Spanish in 1706. 25 Years Ago June 2, 1921 The stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company met in adjourned session on Saturday and after a lengthy discussion instructed the advisory committee to cooperate with the board of directors in revising the company's by-laws and changing the boundaries of the district. The matter of selling four thousand shares of treasury stock was informally discussed, and no action was taken, the opinion being expressed generally that no such issue would be agreed to by the irrigators. The meeting adjourned to July 3. The Roy Trapp ranch at Fullerton consisting of forty acres of Valencia's was sold recently to Mrs. Adelia Muckenthaler, daughter of Samuel Kraemer. The consideration was $82,500. The sale was made by the administrator, and was confirmed by the superior court Friday. Work is progressing on the new gymnasium at the local high school and the building will be completed by the opening of the school term in September. This will be the finest gymnasium in the country. The balconies will seat from 250 to 300 people. Miss Anna Ryan entertained the 500 club on Wednesday afternoon at her home Ramona Villa. A delicious luncheon was served after the game.

Dr. W. W. Adams has returned from a month's visit to Guatamala and will reopen his office in this city. Frank Tausch and wife and Al Nowatny and wife took in the Adequate Labor Available Here For Food Processors, Says USES Southern California food processors need fear no serious labor shortage despite a record year harvest, it was learned here this week when Raymond Krah, state director of the United States Employment Service, reported an adequate labor supply will be available to process all crops. Packing and shipping of navel oranges have been completed, Krah said, and reported work was progressing satisfactorily in Orange county on the processing of 14,000 acres of sugar beets grown in the Imperial and Kern county areas. Companies dealing in seasonal foodstuffs have been contacted as to the number and type of workers needed, Krah said, and barring unforeseen difficulties adequate labor will be available. This year's 14,000 acres of sugar beets represented a 5,000 acre increase over the amount raised last year, he said. The increased acreage has made it necessary to start sugar refinery operations three months earlier than usual with other refineries opening at a later date depending upon the maturity of the crops. Krah said adequate numbers of workers are currently seeking employment for the harvest of Valencia oranges of which 235,000 acres are now ready for harvesting. Next biggest demand for help he pointed out would be in the apricot industry where a crop reported to be 40 per cent greater than last year's, will soon be ready. Canheries are expected to open about June 20 when the apricots will be ready for processing, he said. Aaron Offerle Laid to Rest Funeral services were conducted last Monday afternoon for Aaron A. Offerle, 72 of Placentia, who died early Friday morning at St. Joseph hospital after an extended illness, from the Hilgenfeld chapel at 2 o'clock with the Rev. A. L.

Jobber Speaks His Mind SYRACUSE—Nothing like a trip like this to teach a feller the homely facts of life in the produce business. Went over to Utica yesterday with Tom Smith, Exchange Sales Manager for this district. Beautiful drive down the Mohawk Valley, along the old Erie Canal. Visited a large, finely equipped jobbing house. Then called on another successful jobber—typical produce man, hard-handed, hard-headed, very blunt-spoken. It was he who added to your reporter’s education. This jobber happened to drop the remark that he always preferred to handle Sunkist to any other California citrus fruit. “Why?” your reporter asked. “Saves time,” he answered. “How do you mean—saves time?” “If it’s Sunkist, I don’t need to waste any time talking.” Your reporter must have looked sort of puzzled; because the jobber began all over again. “Look,” he said. “I’ve got twenty or more different items to sell.” He indicated with a wave of his hand the array of crates, baskets and boxes looming in the dim recesses of the warehouse behind him. “Citrus fruit is the biggest. But I’ve got lettuce, celery, spinach, broccoli, peas, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes—everything. And every day I’ve got just so many hours to sell all these things. Right?” Your reporter nodded. “Now suppose I’ve bought a car of California oranges, and a half car, maybe, of lemons, but not from the Exchange. Let’s say they’re just as good as from the Exchange.” “Okay.” “Okay. A customer calls me on the phone and wants six boxes of oranges and a box of lemons. I say, ‘Sure, Joe,’ I’ve got some good ones for you.’ ‘Sunkist?’ he says. “If it was Sunkist, all I’d have to say is ‘Yes.’ Just one word! But instead I say, ‘Well, no, Joe.’ And then I start in. I have to explain that it’s not Exchange fruit but it’s just as good...‘Oh, yes, Joe. Top grade. Fancy stuff—sweet—juicy. Sure, Joe. Beautiful fruit!” And so on, and so on... Hartfield Ring? You will find at Hartfield's a magnificent selection in both plain and diamond combinations, ranging in price from $25 to $5000 "Okay. A customer calls me on the phone and wants six boxes of oranges and a box of lemons. I say, 'Sure, Joe, I've got some good ones for you.'" "'Sunkist?' he says. "If it was Sunkist, all I'd have to say is 'Yes.' Just one word! But instead I say, 'Well, no, Joe.' And then I start in. I have to explain that it's not Exchange fruit but it's just as good...'Oh, yes, Joe. Top grade. Fancy stuff—sweet—juicy. Sure, Joe. Beautiful fruit!' And so on, and so on... "Oh, I sell it all right, but generally for less money, and I've wasted lots of valuable time. I've taken ten times as long as I should. And I haven't started yet on the lettuce, celery, cauliflower or any of those things. "It's that way with every phone call. And it's that way with the truckers from up in the country—every morning they come in and look over my stuff. If my California oranges aren't from the Exchange, they call me over and say, 'What's this off-brand you got?' Or they just walk out and buy from somebody else. "You see? When someone asks you, 'Sunkist?', it's money in your pocket if you can answer with one word—just one word...'Yes!'" That name Sunkist, which the Exchange growers, through their own cooperative organization, have built up over the years, has the same standing with the trade as it has with the public. Seems foolish, if your fruit is up to Sunkist standards, not to give it the advantage that name carries. In the years ahead it will mean money in your pocket if you do. Next report from Atlanta in this paper two weeks from today. California Fruit Growers Exchange Sunkist Building, Los Angeles $5, California
