COLONY QUIPS We do not want to keep harping upon the subject of Santa Catalina Island but a story comes to mind about the last act of an early-day mayor of Anaheim. Max Stroble was a well known man in southern California in the '70s, in fact, he was elected and served as Anaheim's first mayor and from all reports was a darn good one. But to get back to the story. It seems that Max was quite the real estate promoter and at this particular time he had a big idea. He went to see old Phineas Banning and obtained an exclusive listing for the sale of Catalina Island. Max already had a prospect in the shape of some British capitalists. They were interested and had the money but the deal had to be made in London. Max availed himself of the fastest means of transportation and some months later arrived in the city on the Thames. He presented his deal to the interested syndicate and after some negotiations the details were all worked out and the papers made ready to sign. The hour being late they all decided on a nights sleep to return on the morrow when the papers would be signed and the money change hands. That night Max Stroble had a heart attack and died in his hotel room. The deal, of course, fell through. The coming election, by all the reports we hear, is slowly coming to a boll. The American voter is torn between two old slogans which sort of balance each other. ORANGES AT CEILING PRICES; LEMONS ARE LOW FOR AUGUST California oranges held strong at ceiling prices during August while the lemon market was very disappointing for a summer month. The demand being unseasonably light at low prices, due principally to a shortage of sugar and lack of hot eastern weather. According to a summary of the various reports submitted by agricultural commissioners from their respective counties, or shipments have been lighter than in recent years, but they will up considerably with the clean-up of the southern California Valencia crop. Oranges in extremely small sizes dropped 50 cents to $1.50 below ceiling prices, the summer fruits reaching the consumer in heavy quantities. Prices average $1.40 per box higher than in August of last year when the market was in somewhat of a slump, and 30 per cent higher than two years ago when a lower ceiling was in effect. August shipments were much lighter than in the past two seasons, because of the smaller crop. The movement of California oranges to fresh fruit markets the first three weeks in August totaled 5,500 standard carload equivalents as compared with 6,400 cars a year ago and 7,800 cars two years ago. Give Generously! The Crippled Children's Help association of Orange County, Inc., has issued an appeal for donations in an amount large or small, to help in the continuance of the work in the county. The organization, which formed in June, 1921, celebrated its 25th anniversary in June of this year. It has also approximately 362 physical handicapped persons during those years, many of them termed as "long-range cases" or those who have needed help for more than 20 years. Miss E. Kate Rea, presided over The coming election, by all the reports we hear, is slowly coming to a boll. The American voter is torn between two old slogans which sort of balance each other. You remember them: "Throw the rascals out" and "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream." Which one you choose just determines which political party you belong to. But the real deciding factor, we believe, will be the independent voter who is not very vocal. The congressional contest will bear watching and studying. Here we have the incumbent, John Phillips, who has been tried in the fire of our state legislature and then advanced to congress where he has done an outstanding job as everyone expected him to do. Running against Phillips we find our former superintendent of schools who quit that job because, as the gossip runs, the pressure put on him by the various school boards was too heavy for him to carry. If Ray Adkinson thinks that the job in congress, with present world and national conditions, is easier than superintending a group of elementary and high schools in Orange county then we believe he has another think coming. During the trying times of the middle thirties John Phillips sat in the hot legislative halls of Sacramento and helped a great deal in keeping California on an even keel. And, later, the same John Phillips sat in the national congress at Washington and during the savage war and still more savage post-war session using the experience which began in Sacramento to help keep America guided straight. No matter where you sit politically you have only to hear and talk to John Phillips to know that we need him in congress. Make no mistake, the job is hard, tiring and arduous and the man who will do Orange county the most good there is John Phillips. The current race for the vacant Orange county senatorial seat and featuring Publisher James Farquhar on one side and Assemblyman Clyde Watson on the other is moving into its final stage. Valencias Clean Up The clean-up of the Valencia crop will take place during the latter part of October or the early part of November. It is estimated that 15,700 cars remain to be utilized in all channels, fresh and products, after August, as compared with last year's record of 29,700 cars, and 17,700 cars two years ago. The movement to canneries will continue despite a very strong demand for the fresh fruit, because a much greater percentage of the crop than usual is running so extremely small in sizes as to be unmarketable in fresh form. Prices for the merchantable sizes promise to hold firm in September under prospective strong demand. Lemon Demand The light demand for lemons was due to a lack of sugar, and weather in the east remaining cool. The commissioners totaled the fresh shipments of lemons at 1,200 standard carload equivalents during the first three weeks of August as compared with the same number a year ago, and 1,600 cars two years ago. Lemon prices during the first three weeks of August averaged 50 cents a box lower than in the comparable period last year, $2.00 a box lower than two years ago. Storage on August 10 was 4,600 cars as compared with 3,800 cars last year, and 1,600 cars two years ago. Some reduction was noticed in jobbers' stocks, but the consumer demand was still more than adequate by the latter part of August. Shipments in September will continue light unless the market shows some improvement. The total movement through all channels, fresh and products, from the beginning of the season to August 25, was 81,400 carload equivalents compared with 26,800 cars a year ago, 25,800 cars two years ago. Prices of fresh lemons sold for the season to date were 80 cents a box lower than a year ago, 80 cents a box lower than average $1.40 per box higher than in August of last year when the market was in somewhat of a slump, and 30 per cent higher than two years ago when a lower ceiling was in effect. August shipments were much lighter than in the past two seasons, because of the smaller crop. The movement of California oranges to fresh fruit markets the first three weeks in August totaled 5,500 standard carload equivalents as compared with 6,400 cars a year ago and 7,800 cars two years ago. Civil Aeronautics Board to Vote on Helicopter Mail The big decision on whether not the helicopter mail service will be continued, comes off next Wednesday, September 18, when Civil Aeronautics Board will hold a conference in order to revive applications submitted by organizations willing to take over what the army air forces left off. An experimental tryout of service was held for a 30-day period, last July, using two air force helicopters from March Field Riverside. Lockheed airport Burbank was the base for operations. Two main routes were flown, one following the coast with Long Beach as its southern terminus, the other running land to Santa Ana with Anaheim on the route. A shuttle run between Lockheed and the Termite Annex roof was also flown. Applications were submitted to the CAB by Southwest, Los Angeles and Terminal Airways, proposing to carry mail direct from the air terminal in Burbank to southern California cities. Landings will be made at cities where facilities permit and drops will be made at any others, so putting rapid deliveries. Babijuice Company Finishes Season The Babijuice Corporation The current race for the vacant Orange county senatorial seat and featuring Publisher James Farquhar on one side and Assemblyman Clyde Watson on the other is moving right out in the open. We see where they both have been out making speeches and impressing voters in many other ways. You will probably hear much more about each candidate before November rolls around. Jim Farquhar got off a good crack about politics the other day: "Politics is a dirty business stay out of it. It's run by livery stable loafers," Teddy Roosevelt's blue stocking friends warned him. "That may be," he replied, "but they are making the laws you live by." Next time you drive south from Center street on Los Angeles you can hardly help but notice a large, new and modernistic business front looming up on the east side of the street. Yes, you guessed it, the sign reads Leavitt Ford, Studebaker. Leavitt has put in a beautiful show room and service garage featuring the 1947 Studebaker automobile and has them on the floor to look at. Twenty or so years ago he was the shop foreman for Harry D. Riley and the Studebakers were selling like hot cakes, that business being also on south Los Angeles across the street and north of the present location. Harry Riley now lives at Laguna Beach and Leavitt Ford has moved his name up in the lights as the owner and proprietor. This comes under the heading of "local boy makes good" and all his friends are hoping for a large measure of success for Leavitt Ford and his Studebaker agency. The total movement through all channels, fresh and products, from the beginning of the season to August 25, was $1,400 carload equivalents compared with 26,800 cars a year ago, 25,800 cars two years ago. Prices of fresh lemons sold for the season to date, were 80 cents a box lower than a year ago, 80 cents a box lower than two years ago, 50 cents a box lower than three years; but were $1.00 to $1.40 higher than in the five years just previous to 1943. Other Crops Reports on other crops by the commissioners showed that the sugar beet harvest in Orange county is one-third complete. Quality and tonnage were said to be good. The harvesting of standard limas will probably occur from 10 days to two weeks earlier than normal, because of a very warm summer in all areas where the standard limas are grown. Some growers report that the sizes of the beans may be somewhat smaller than in the past, with the warm weather cutting down on the yield per acre. Due to the extra expense and increase in labor cost, extra seed used for replanting and fumigating soil for wire worm control, the growers are very much concerned regarding the ceiling price established in February for the 1946 crop of standard limas and they feel that a substantial increase should be had in order to cover these extra expenditures. Vine cutting in most Orange county lima bean fields is complete. Overall yields look promising but, due to heat injury, the tonnage from non-irrigated fields will be less than normal. Some threshing was undeway as the month closed. It was reported (Continued on Page 2) Babijuice Company Finishes Season The Babijuice Corporation at California at the Placentia house finished packing of the 1946 crop of Valencia oranges last week having handled approximately fifty carloads of Valencias. The winery run may be handled by the company's navel packing plant at Lington, which will probably be opened this fall. It was stated that many of the carloads received and packed during the latter part of the season were slated for export shipment. Free Photostat Copies for Vets Photostat copies of discharged papers may be arranged for service men and women who they have their papers recorded at the county recorder's office at the court house building, Seven and Broadway, Santa Ana. Extra copies of the discharge paper which should always be recorded can be obtained within three weeks free of charge, Ira Hodgkins, service director of the Anheim Municipal Veterans' Information center, stated. The three weeks involved would not affect the dates of enlistment men's bonds for terminal leave pay, Hodgkins continued, since those bonds are dated to the month nearest to the date on the duly charged. Thirty days terminal leave pay is accorded to officers for each year of service. Enlisted men are receiving the same amount in the form of the bonds. NG PRICES; FOR AUGUST Excelling prices during August, pointing for a summer month, at low prices, due principally to eastern weather. Various reports submitted by respective counties, orange event years, but they will pick IVE Generously! The Crippled Children's Re-association of Orange County, Inc., has issued an appeal for donations in any count, large or small, to aid the continuance of their work in the county. The organization, which was named in June, 1921, celebrates its 25th anniversary last year. It has aided approximately 362 physically handicapped persons during the years, many of them used as "long-range cases," those who have needed help more than 20 years. Miss E. Kate Rea, president USO Architect Studies Sites For New 'Y' Building The architect that designed all the USO's throughout the country, R. E. Rayburn of New York, has studied the layout of Anaheim for a suitable location for the construction of the $90,000 local YMCA building. Rayburn has been associated with the National YMCA building Bureau for the last 35 years. In the board meeting recently with Robert Gossom of the national finance bureau, it was decided that now was the opportunity time to launch the fund drive for the modern center, to insure its immediate construction as soon as prices are stable. To date the location has not been purchased or the building designed in detail. Adequate funds will assure its construction, however, without delay, it was stated. Decision to erect a modern center near, gymnasium, pool and youth activity centers, was made by unanimous vote in a poll taken last November during the annual "Y" banquet. The location has been carefully Homes for Sixteen Veterans by End Of September Two of the buildings of the veterans emergency housing project on North Olive street, which will accommodate 10 of the applicants, will be completed before the end of this month, it was announced by Ira Hodgkins, service director of the Anaheim Municipal Veterans Information center in his August report to the city council Tuesday night. Ten of the nearly completed units are of no bedroom size and the other six have three bedrooms. Housing was secured for five veteran families during last month. Terminal leave pay applications are available that will be filled out for veterans upon request, Hodgkins disclosed. Notary service is available in the city engineer's office, adjacent to the information center. The envelope is then furnished and addressed to the proper destination. Many veterans have shown their appreciation for the service. Fire Destroys Doctor's Garage Last Saturday The city's fire department more answered an alarm to have been started by playing with matches." The it was a garage owned by George A. Palge of 502 Zeyn street last Saturday, proximately 12:00 noon. Cost of the fire was set according to Fire Chief R. The garage was all but corrupted, except for a shell of wood, so thin that high-pressure streams passed through it.

Adequate funds will assure its construction, however, without delay, it was stated. Decision to erect a modern center near gymnasium, pool and youth activity centers, was made by unanimous vote in a poll taken last November during the annual "Y" banquet. The location has been carefully studied by the board and Rayburn. The building will provide facilities for the 30 or more young people's clubs now organized and also furnish club meeting rooms for many other groups. Social recreation for the local "younger set" will be stressed with places to carry out their craft and hobby interests. Plans call for a social lounge room, a center for family gatherings and a huge hall designed to accommodate banquets, social affairs, such as dances and lecture groups. The three division leaders of the YMCA building drive, Warren Ashleigh, Paul Bakenhus and Frank Kellogg, have announced the selection of 13 division leaders to assist in developing the newly launched campaign. These division captains, each to be aided by five assistants, include Eark Woodward, Ted Payne, J. A. Baker, L. P. Nichols, Mrs. Marlon Pickel, Sam Hilgenfeld, C. J. Mauerhan, Leroy Ater, Floyd Stockwell and Mrs. Jerry Patton, co-captains; Wilbert Bonney, Clyde Nickle, Gene Mahaffey, Dr. Edward Jordt, and Mrs. Ted Payne.

Daly Brothers of Los Angeles are the general contractors for the project. They have constructed similar emergency housing units throughout the country for the government. Ellmore Hauls In Third Marlin Three Marlin in five trips this year is the enviable record held by Ivan L. Ellmore, of Consolidated Roofing Company of this city. He caught his third marlin, tipping the scales at 100 1-4 pounds, four miles out between San Diego and La Jolla last Sunday morning. Because he "hooked" it in a vein the big fish was caught in 11 minutes. Jay Showald of Long Beach was his fishing partner on Ellmore's 80-foot boat, "Miss Barbara." Ellmore caught his first marlin 10 miles east of Santa Catalina Island, in two hours and five minutes. It weighed 174 pounds. He got his second one six miles south of Dana Point after a stubborn battle that lasted four hours and 15 minutes. It tipped the scales at 109 1-2 pounds.

When Good Fellows Get Together GOVERNOR EARL WARREN, now being boomed for the presidency in 1948, continues to win friends and influence people. A Republican, he won both his own and Democratic party nomination at recent primary. Here he shakes hands warmly with Democratic Senator John F. Shelley of San Francisco who introduced most of Warren's major bills at 1945 legislative session, giving genuine substance to governor's claim of non-partisanship in his administration. Both Gov. Warren and Senator Shelley were honor guests at giant V-J day rally in Los Angeles Coliseum as this photograph was taken.

ZETTE ER 12, 1946 Eight Pages NUMBER 46 Fire Destroys Doctor's Garage Last Saturday The city's fire department once more answered an alarm believed to have been started by "kids playing with matches." This time, was a garage owned by Dr. George A. Palge of 502 North Eyn street last Saturday at approximately 12:00 noon. Cost of the fire was set at $500, according to Fire Chief R. Nyboe. The garage was all but completely razed, except for a shell of charred wood, so thin that high-powered nose streams passed completely through it. Luck played a large part in overtling tragedy as a fireman, carrying a hose through a doorway, brushed past a live wire with the insulation burned off. He received a sudden shock and backed to the man behind him who also received part of the shock. The amp hose and wet feet provided marvelous conductors for the jolt, at luckily the man's contact with the wire was only slight and momentary. According to Dr. Palge, several CITY ATTORNEY RESIGNS, PRESTON TURNER IS NAMED The city council regretfully accepted the resignation of Leo J. Frils, city attorney for many years in Anaheim, and appointed Preston Turner, former assistant district attorney, to take over the vacant post at a meeting held in the council chambers of the city hall last Tuesday night. According to City Clerk Charles Griffith, Frils reported an overload of business in his private practice, which is under the name of Frils and Schutz in the Bank of America building, and he found it impossible to handle both jobs at once. Frils has long been city attorney for Anaheim, having been appointed to the post January 1, 1938. Prior to assuming the position, he had been associated with the district attorney's office in Santa Ana. Turner was affiliated with the district attorney's office in Santa Ana as assistant district attorney for eleven years. He arrived in California in 1925 and began practicing in the state in 1928. He came to Anaheim February 1, 1945, setting up his law offices under the title of McFadden and Turner in the Bank of America building. Luck played a large part in diverting tragedy as a fireman, carrying a hose through a doorway, brushed past a live wire with insulation burned off. He received a sudden shock and backed to the man behind him who also received part of the shock. The pump hose and wet feet provided marvelous conductors for the jolt, but luckily the man's contact with the wire was only slight and momentary. According to Dr. Palge, several youngsters set a trash pile on fire directly to the rear of the garage. One trash fire spread to the garage, enveloping one wall andorching Dr. Palge's automobile, which was parked inside. The fire was pushed to safety, but the fire in the meantime, had taken full advantage of the draft caused by opening the garage doors and billowed to gigantic proportions most spontaneously. Dr. Palge's home was scorched on one side and his trees and crubbery were shriveled by the heat of the blaze. Numerous onlookers rushed to the scene, attracted by great clouds of black smoke rising from the burning roof of the garage. The youngsters who had started the fire, who had very nearly caused a tragedy; who had caused the damage were quite conscious... by their absence. Defective Wires Believed Cause of Automobile Fire A fire which is believed to have originated in the wiring system used extensive damages to a property owned by M. G. Kannard, 128 South Melrose street last Monday morning at 11:50 a.m. Fully insured against fire, the first green, 1939 Mercury sedan had been parked in front of Kannd's residence with no occupants when a burst of flame suddenly came from the section directly behind the dashboard of the car. Kannd was attracted by the gas from neighbors and a call was put through to the city fire department. Prompt and efficient stopper stopped the fire from reaching the gasoline tank. Damage include the complete destruction of the front seat, windshield and dashboard, along with severe scorching of the windshield side windows. The interior is completely blackened byoke. According to a statement issued County Clerk B. J. Smith warned registered voters to go to the polls on November 5, or their name would be stricken from the list. This would mean re-registering by those removed from the list and an added cost settled on the now heavily burdened county government. Approximately 82,000 voters are expected to register in Orange county by the time the registration books are closed on September 26. An exact count of new voters cannot be made because registrations are also received by deputy registrars located in districts throughout the county. To date, there have been many changes of addresses and party alignment. Last spring the total enrollment passed the 74,000 mark by the time the registration books were closed for the municipal elections. When the books were closed for the primaries, the figure had increased by 2000. The registrar's office now contains ballots for those who expect to vote absentee in the fall election. Absentee ballots can also be gained by submitting a written application to their care this week. One of them, a boy two and one-half years of age, is suffering from diabetes. The association has set aside a sum of money for him, enabling the boy to live through the aid of insulin. Case No. 2: An eight year old boy is in desperate need of a delicate plastic surgery operation. The association is sending him to a specialist in Los Angeles. "Nothing is too good for our children," said Miss E. Kate Rea, president of the association. The third case concerns a little girl who just can't seem to sit up straight. Something is wrong with her spine, so the association will send her to an orthopedic specialist on September 18. Remember that date folks. The association has appealed for donations to enable them to care for just such cases. Will it be your donation that may bring her back to health?

The city developed 77,110,400 gallons of sewage and figures for the joint outfall sewage added up to 217,977,100 gallons. Ardaiz brothers of West La Palma avenue were awarded bids on the transportation of fertilizer to the city grove. One rescue was made by the County Opens Canal Street Trash Dump A trash dump has been opened by the county of Orange for public use, located on Canal street on the north bank of the Santa Ana river, approximately one-half mile west of Jefferson street, for the deposit of trash cans, combustible materials, glass and tree trimmings. The depositing of auto bodies, tree trunks, garbage or the carcasses of animals is prohibited. This dump is being operated by the county highway department at county expense. The public is requested to comply with all regulations, so that the successful operation of this project will be to the mutual benefit of everyone concerned.
