Home Oil Dealers Attend Banquet At Elks Club A steak dinner, attended by 80 dealers of the Home Oil Company, took place at the Anaheim Elks clubroom last Tuesday night, the affair culminating an eight months contest entitled "Sales for Silver." R. J. Grange, manager of the Home Oil company of Anaheim, presided over the meeting. His son, Robert Grange, who had conducted the contest, presented the awards. Each winner was paid off in silver dollars, bounced heavily onto a metal tray. As each man received his award, he left the speakers' table with the coins weighing down his pockets, as it was up to the individual to receive his award minus any sort of a boxed container. First prize of $75 was given to Grant Fuller of Balboa; second went to E. E. Pendleton of Brea; third to Lyle Pope of Newport; fourth to Cliff Elliott of Anaheim; and fifth to Harry Pralke of Norwalk. After the dinner there was a very short sales meeting. A two-hour show featuring Irby the Magician followed. Over a five-year period, beginning in 1939, 600,000 persons died in this country from more than 40 infectious and parasitic diseases. Half of these deaths were caused by tuberculosis. THE CHAPMANS GREET SON Welcoming a new son were Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Chapman of 938 North Palm street, Anaheim.

WELCOME DAUGHTER Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Leigh of 912½ North Zeyn street, Anaheim, welcomed a son who arrived at Fullerton Cottage hospital last Sunday tipping the scales at eight pounds and three ounces.

Health education programs in the schools, including tuberculin testing, are supported by Christmas Seal funds. Busiest holiday season All year long we have been building up our telephone plant—adding long distance facilities. Even with this expansion, the huge volume of everyday calls keeps our equipment busy at peak capacity. We will do everything we can to handle holiday calls promptly, but with the extra volume of calls there will still be unavoidable delays. That's why we suggest that if you place a friendly holiday long distance call, you do so on days other than December 24 or 25. Thank you.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE 259 East Center Street Phones—2206 and 2207 FIXING UP the HOME By Diane Greeter How to Wrap Christmas Packages NOTHING brightens up the Christmas scene quite as much as a wide variety of colorfully wrapped gift packages. If you save, during the year, bits of ribbon and unusual pieces of bright paper, your holiday gifts will cause a great deal of comment. One quick and easy source of colorful wrappings is wall paper. If you have no roll ends of paper saved from house refurbishing, start a "bank" of wrapping material by purchasing several rolls of inexpensive wall paper at the local paint shop. Some years ago we had a waxing seal made for use at Christmas. It carries a holiday greeting and our names. After wrapping a package we put a piece of red ribbon around the center and held it in place with a dab of hot green sealing wax carrying the seal impression. Don't be afraid to do the unusual when wrapping gifts.

Tubercu HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO LEMON MARKETING AGREEMENT HELD Testimony supporting an amendment to the Lemon Marketing Agreement which would place intrastate lemon shipments under Federal regulation was opened by L. H. Wohlwend sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, who stated that unregulated shipments of lemons within the states of California and Arizona are both burdensome and costly to the industry. Hearings on the petition to amend the Lemon Marketing Agreement are being held in the Federal Building in Los Angeles by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the agency administering the prorate agreement under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1937. The hearings are expected to continue through the current week. All lemon shipments outside the states of California and Arizona have been under Federal regulation since 1941, under the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. Believing that extension of the "The lowest return comes from fruit sold to by-products," said Kelly. "The second lowest return comes from fruit sold without proration within the states of production. That condition is particularly true when storage of lemons is heavy and the anxiety of shippers to move fruit in non-prorated areas generates the competition that depresses prices. Extension of proration to the states of production would promote equity in sales opportunity to all growers." It was testified by Fred F. Heydenfeldt, manager of the Field The earlier tuberculosis is discovered, the easier it is to cure. Christmas Seal funds are used to aid efforts to find the disease early. Last year in Orange county, over 5,000 miniature film were given free of charge for this purpose. by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the agency administering the prorate agreement under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1937. The hearings are expected to continue through the current week. All lemon shipments outside the states of California and Arizona have been under Federal regulation since 1941, under the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937. Believing that extension of the act to cover intrastate shipments would be beneficial to the entire industry, the California Fruit Growers Exchange petitioned the U. S. Department of Agriculture to hold the current hearings. Pointing to the fact that lemon prices in Los Angeles and San Francisco last summer were as much as $2.00 below the returns on comparable grades and sizes in key markets in the east and midwest, Wohlwend declared that the price to consumers in California did not reflect the lower grower return. As a result, the consumer paid too much and the grower received too little. When the California market is at a substantially lower level than the out-of-state markets, the wholesale trade loses confidence in the lemon deal and the result is a general lowering of the entire market structure. Federal regulation of lemon shipments within the states of California and Arizona would result in a more orderly marketing program for the entire country and work to the mutual advantage of grower, wholesaler and consumer, said Wohlend. Sam H. Kelly, Southwest Division Sales Manager for the Exchange, stated that there are three ways of disposing of lemons to bring a return to the grower, enumerating them as fresh fruit sales outside the states of production; fresh fruit sales within the producing states and diversion to by-product plants. It was testified by Fred F. Heydenfeldt, manager of the Field Service department of the Exchange, that the volume regulation of the quantity of lemons which can go to market regardless of destination will make a sounder and more effective program of regulation and will also be more equitable between shippers. "Under intrastate regulation, state markets would not be demoralized by shippers attempting to overload them in order to secure a disproportionate movement of fruit, and enforcement of the prorate regulation would be more effective and equitable," Heydenfeldt added. Russell Z. Eller, advertising manager of the Exchange, testified to the importance of the California-Arizona market by pointing to the fact that the two states represented seven per cent of the total population of the United States and a comparable per cent of the U. S. buying power. "Prorate of shipments is not a substitute for the basic job of market development," he said, "but a procedure which is essential to the most efficient utilization of the existing demand and future expansion." NEW DAUGHTER A new daughter was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Southerlin of 740 North Olive street, Anaheim. She arrived at Fullerton Cottage hospital last Monday, tipping the scales at nine pounds, thirteen and one-half ounces. Thursday, December 12, 1946 FJC GERMAN CLUB STAGES NATIVITY PLAY Theatrical highlight for the German club of Fullerton Junior college was a play of the Nativity presented last Thursday evening. The cast was attired in sixteenth century costumes. Local actors included Cleve Kelsey and Margaret Fischer. A short play and singing of German songs concluded the meeting. Tuberculosis was dreaded for ages as the "white plague" and was believed to be incurable. Increased knowledge of the disease has revealed that it can be cured if treatment is begun in time. Chest X-rays detect the disease before outward symptoms appear. HOLLYWOOD USO ENGAGES EDITH BROWNE Miss Edith Browne, versatile dramatic lyric soprano and dancer of this city, will be one of the featured stars at the Hollywood USO December 26 and New Year's Eve. At the Invitation of Eddie Stewart, master of ceremonies of the famed service center, Miss Browne appeared on the Monday night program this week, interpreting several Hawaiian selections and tap specialties. Others in the party attending the affair included Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Reinhardt, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Culbertson and Mrs. Alberta Browne, mother of Miss Brown, all of Anaheim. ST. AGNES GUILD TO HEAR RUTH PHELPS St. Agnes guild members of the St. Michael's Episcopal church will meet next Monday night at the home of Mrs. A. A. Newland on East Orangethorpe avenue at 7:30 o'clock. The program will be presented by Miss Ruth Phelps, Anaheim Union high school instructor, star of the recently staged faculty production "Quality Street." Tuberculosis can be detected in its early stages by means of X-ray pictures. Tuberculosis associa- Tuberculosis can be detected in its early stages by means of X-ray pictures. Tuberculosis associations, whose work is supported by the sale of Christmas Seals, advocates periodic X-rays of every adult. Approximately 500,000 people in this country have tuberculosis, according to conservative estimates. Half of these are "unknown cases"—people who may not know they are ill yet may be spreading the disease. Einar Holboell, Danish postal clerk, first thought of a "health" Christmas Seal. His idea was tried in this country in 1907. Christmas Seals have been sold here since to support tuberculosis control programs. The National Tuberculosis association, organized in 1904, today has 2,900 affiliated voluntary associations in every state, the District of Columbia and the territories. Christmas Seals support their work in fighting tuberculosis. When the National Tuberculosis association was organized in 1904, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in this country. Today it is the seventh cause, but kills approximately 55,000 persons a year. Since World War I, the U.S. government has spent more than a billion dollars in caring for tuberculous veterans of that war. No one yet knows what the cost of caring for tuberculous veterans of World War II will be. In 1944 approximately 1,000 veterans of World War II died of tuberculosis. "AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO!"
