COLONY QUIPS A dread malady has raised its ugly head in these parts and has had a dulling effect upon much of the populace since the Christmas holidays. Medical science has strained every scientific resource but has not been able to offer much as yet, in the way of a solution. They have, however, been able to appropriately name this dread disease. It has aptly been called "Nutmeg Poisoning." There are some new faces in the political arena now getting ready to buckle down to work in Sacramento. One of them is well known in Orange and Los Angeles counties where he received a tremendous vote in the past election. He is Fred N. Howser, our new Attorney General. He has written a pledge to California voters and we reprint it below: To all Californians, I extend a solemn pledge that I shall, to the very best of my ability, strive to match in service the generous measure of confidence imposed in me by the public at the general election. The overwhelming victory accorded my candidacy is not accepted as a personal tribute, but rather, as a pledge—an opportunity to serve the state of California in one of the most trying periods of her history. While nothing ever shall permanently deter California in her march toward new heights among the family of states, today—more than ever before—he acted offi- ANAH VOLUME LXXVI ANAHEM C OF C PRESIDENT TELLS OF NEW ACHIEVEMENTS FOR 1947 A new high water mark in achievement for the coming year anticipated by Robert Rossberg, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. "I base my optimism on the extraordinary record made by the Chamber during the year of 1946", he said, "and in my confidence in the growth and progress of Anaheim and its civic and governmental leadership." Rossberg was especially complimentary on the work accomplished by the committees functioning under the Anaheim Community Planning Project. The overwhelming victory accorded my candidacy is not accepted as a personal tribute, but rather, as a pledge—an opportunity to serve the state of California in one of the most trying periods of her history. While nothing ever shall permanently deter California in her march toward new heights among the family of states, today—more than ever before—the elected officials are faced with urgency to act honestly and in compliance with the economic crisis created by the aftermath of a disastrous World War. To the people of California, and to Governor Earl Warren and his official family, I most sincerely pledge this cooperation. Within the space of a short time, I shall be pledged to assume the duties of your Attorney General. The platform on which I presented my candidacy at the polls in November will remain intact, as the overall objective to be achieved in the next four years. First, and above all, I shall administer the duties of this high office on a level befitting its dignity; ever mindful of its primary responsibility to protect the legal and human rights of all individuals regardless of their station in life. Second, I reaffirm a pledge of complete, harmonious cooperation with all law enforcing agencies in their respective day to day efforts in making California a better, safer place in which to live. And, finally, I re-declare my intention of combating Federal encroachment upon state rights and properties. California’s course soon will be chartered by men in whose hands you have entrusted her future. This great responsibility will not be taken lightly by the office of Attorney General. Spiritual Church Hold Services In Eagle's Hall Due to the recent sale of the church located at 408 East Sycamore street, members of Good Hope Spiritualist church are hold-services on Sunday and Thursday evenings at 7:45 in Eagle's Hall at 135 West Center street, located on the second floor of the building. The congregation has not had service since in October when a new high water mark in achievement for the coming year anticipated by Robert Rossberg, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. “I base my optimism on the extraordinary record made by the Chamber during the year of 1946”, he said, “and in my confidence in the growth and progress of Anaheim and its civic and governmental leadership.” Rossberg was especially complimentary to the work accomplished by the committees functioning under the Anaheim Community Planning Project. According to Rossberg, the goal of the Chamber was to aid in the realization of a “master plan” of activities in an effort to achieve a well-balanced community life commercially, economically and culturally. A comprehensive program of events is being charted by E. W. Moeller, secretary-manager of the local Chamber, for the entire year of 1947. Rossberg stated that the Chamber will use the achievements of 1946 as a yardstick for the purpose of establishing targets to work which were far more ambitious than any attempted in the history of the Chamber. Several of the major tasks of the various committees were pointed out by Rossberg. The conservation and agriculture committee, headed by E. J. Power, will be asked to continue its campaign to bring about a solution to the pressing and important county-wide water problem. This committee will also be asked to take final steps in an effort to remove the threat of Carbon Canyon flood waters. The parking and traffic committee, captained by Gene Mahaffey, has completed a successful year of duties and will be urged to develop several additional free off-street parking areas for the convenience of patrons of Anaheim’s business district. A “clean-up and paint-up week” is being proposed by the city beautification committee under the leadership of Clarence Taylor. Having established a master traffic plan of public safety, Glenn Hipes will be authorized to establish a public safety council in the new year in an effort to prevent the excessive accidents, deaths and property destruction. The industrial development committee, having completed a survey of industry, will be encouraged to add new economically profitable industries in order to increase the payrolls in this growing city.

H. C. Schmelzer, secretary-treasurer of the drive committee. “We still refer to our effort as the 1946 fund drive, but as things have turned out, we're finding becoming a part of 1947 also,” Hold Services In Eagle's Hall Due to the recent sale of the church located at 408 East Sycamore street, members of Good Hope Spiritualist church are hold-services on Sunday and Thursday evenings at 7:45 in Eagle's Hall at 135 West Center street, located on the second floor of the building.

Other buildings would be used for a warehouse and workshops for the maintenance department of the hospital.

(Continued on Page 5) Annual Citrus Report Given By Armstrong Becomes 'Must' of Week Of all the annual reports submitted for publication at the age of 1946, the compiled data of the citrus industry as submitted by S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Exchange remains as the "must" of the week. Annual Citrus Report Given By Armstrong Becomes 'Must' of Week Of all the annual reports submitted for publication at the end of 1946, the compiled data of the citrus industry as submitted by S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Grocery Exchange remains as the "must" of the week. In his report, Armstrong reveals the actual standing of Californians in the citrus industry as of October 31, 1946. He remarks on splendid reputation for the quality of California fruit and states all areas expect an increase in production. From the standpoint of citrus marketing, the first post-war year has been even more eventful than most of the preceding four. Our principal operating problems have been the direct result of the economy carried over from war-time. Much time has been devoted to consultation with officials and to the study of Federal regulations affecting our business. These have literally entered into every phase from box shook to transportation and from fruit prices to fertilizer. On three occasions during the year the price ceilings on citrus fruit was lifted. On November 19, 1945, the ceiling was removed just as the navel crop started to market. The ceiling was re-imposed on January 4, 1946, when earlier shipping estimates could not be met. Florida's heavy volume crop was late in maturing and California was hampered at the time by a refrigerator car shortage. Citrus was again decontrolled with all other commodities when price control legislation expired on June 30, 1946. Cellings were reinstated again on July 25. Lemons and grape fruit were decontrolled once more on September 1 and oranges were finally removed from ceiling restriction on October 24. The total United States citrus production during the year just closed was 439,000 cars, or about 17,000 cars more than the 45 season, but the California Arizona orange crop was considerably smaller. Florida and Texas both showed increases in the production of oranges and grapefruit. The total crop estimated for 1946-47 season will break all previous records for volume. Areas expect an increase in production. While it is expected that bus power of the consumer will main high through 1947, it mains to be seen whether demand for citrus will be enough to successfully man the larger volume. The importance of canned rus products to the industry increasingly apparent. During past season, Florida canned 70 per cent of its grapefruit production. There are sufficient canning facilities in operation Florida, it is said, to can the tire harvest if it were advised to do so. Canning in Texas been substantial and while canning program in California and Arizona has not been large, it has shown great growth in the past five years. Producers of the Exchange reached a new level of volume this year. Future volume in field is difficult to predict because already evident that...

Final estimate of the population the county for a year ago is 0,000. For January, 1945, the estimate was 165,000. The April, 1946 Federal census showed 180,-0 people in the county.

Each single event has been treated as an individual occurrence and with as much accuracy and thoroughness as was possible. New men have taken posts in the city government. Great advances have been made in population growth and housing. On the other hand, there have been temporary setbacks here and there in the way of fires and traffic accidents. The city has taken its share of good along with the bad. Today Anaheim is one year older. Orange County At New High The population of Orange county is at a new high, with 171,400 people estimated to be in the county as of January 1, 1947. Final estimate of the population the county for a year ago is 1,000. For January, 1945, the estimate was 165,000. The April, 1940 Federal census showed 130,-00 people in the county. The 197 estimate shows a gain of 800 people or 31 per cent from census. Population of the entire state estimated at 9,420,000 for January, 1947. Final revised estimate January, 1946, showed 9,220,-00 people in California. U. of C.

Lemon street, this city, has received a permanent citation for the Distinguished Flying Cross from Acting Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullian for the president. Lieut. Mendoza, who has been released to inactive duty, earned the award while attached to the USS Bunker Hill as a fighter pilot. During the war, citations were temporary or incomplete due to security reasons. Text of the citation is as follows: "For heroism and extraordinary achievement in aerial flight as pilot of a fighter plane, attached to Air Group Eight, operating from the USS Bunker Hill during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Philippine Islands area, September 13, 1944." "Fighting his plane with determined aggressiveness while flying escort in a strike against enemy shipping and ground installations, Lieut. (then Lieut. jg.) Mendoza shot down two hostile planes and damaged another. He then obtained a direct bomb hit on an enemy medium anti-aircraft gun emplacement and, by strafing, set fire to a Japanese naval vessel. His expert airmanship, courage and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval service."

He remarks on the California fruit and states that ion. 200 cars more than the 1944-season, but the California-ona orange crop was considerably smaller. Florida and Texas showed increases in the proportion of oranges and grapefruit. Total crop estimated for the 1947 season will break all previous records for volume. All is expected an increase in production. While it is expected that buying order of the consumer will remain high through 1947, it remains to be seen whether the land for citrus will be great enough to successfully market larger volume. The importance of canned citrus products to the industry is increasingly apparent. During the season, Florida canned about one cent of its grapefruit production and 40 per cent of orange juice. There are sufficient living facilities in operation in Santa Ana, it is said, to can the enharvest if it were advisable so. Canning in Texas has been substantial and while the ongoing program in California Arizona has not been as successful as it has shown great growth over the past five years. Products of the Exchange again need a new level of volume year. Future volume in this is difficult to predict but it already evident that citrus set fire to a Japanese naval vessel.
