COLONY QUIPS We have long heard about the "Solid South" always being on the Democratic party's side, lock, stock and barrel. The article that follows is reprinted from the Bellville Times of Bellville, Texas, and was reprinted in that newspaper from the Southern Weekly. It is an account of the inaugural ceremonies of the new Texas governor, Beauford Jester and shows the present day thinking of the new administration in that southern state: "A happy inaugural about describes the induction of Beauford Jester into the office of Governor of Texas at Austin on Tuesday. It was the occasion of more pomp and ceremony than have marked any similar event at the Texas capital in many years. Yet it was absolutely genuine in tone and spirit and the immense crowds in attendance were made up of truly happy people ardently participating in an affair of public rejoicing and dedication. Not the least auspicious incident was one which upset all precedent. The outgoing Governor, Coke Stevenson, was the guest of the new Governor at the inaugural dinner at the mansion. It was symbolic of the fact that Texas has had five years of good government under Stevenson and is starting two years more under Jester. In this respect the people of Texas may be said to have more solid reason for thankfulness than almost any other state in the union. "A striking feature of Governor Jester's inaugural, he quoted, aptly and to the point, words spoken by his own father, George" VOLUME LXXVI ANAHEIM Growers Tackle Small Orange Problem Tonight The Citrus department of the Orange County Farm Bureau tonight will have a full-scale discussion of the problem of small oranges, according to Dean Millen, chairman. Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg will review some local information which may give some clues as to disappointing sizes during the past two seasons and in prospect for the coming crop. To give growers an idea of the extent to which weather may affect sizes, Roy K. Bishop, for many years connected with the office of the county agricultural commissioner, will review his records covering three decades on county rainfall, humidity and temperatures. Figures on sizes will be provided by Felton Browning, former president of the Orange County Farm Bureau and now with the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Howard Scoville, area represen- Carry-Over of Citrus Juice Said 'Not Bad' The huge urplus of canned orange and grapefruit juice which caused a bad break in prices last winter has been partly cleared and the carry-over is "not in shape now," according to Jan A. Finley, manager of the change By Products company at Ontario, who talks Tuesday night at the March meeting of the Foothill Farm Center in Villa Park hall. There were 16,000,000 cases canned citrus juice in various hands last November, he said, but this huge surplus has now been materially reduced, though so far it was sold at prices so low that it would not have returned a profit if the cans had been filled with water. For the oranges which provide much of the juice in the 16,000,000 cases some Florida growers received only 15 cents for a pound box, Finley said. The threat of a great surplus of canned juice hanging over depress fresh fruit prices in A striking feature of Governor Jester's inaugural, he quoted, aptly and to the point, words spoken by his own father, George T. Jester, fifty-two years ago, when the latter delivered an inaugural address as lieutenant governor of Texas. Here are the words of George Jester, as quoted by his son: 'In our deliberations let us adhere to the doctrine taught by all true apostles of American liberty, that the sole end of legislation should be the greatest good for the greatest number; that the government should do nothing for the citizen which the citizen is able to do for himself; that the people shall support the government, not the government the people... In this day and time, when all forms of paternalism are invading the state and the nation, let us stand close to the constitution, and contending, as our fathers did of old for its strict construction, administer economically, and on a cash basis, the affairs of the government, with a revenue sufficient to maintain the different institutions of the state commensurate with its growth and development.' Commenting on these words of his father, Governor Jester said: 'This concept of our duty is as sound today as it was a half century and two years ago.' It is indeed as sound today, and the necessity of emphasizing it is even greater today. For if it was true fifty-two years ago that "all forms of paternalism" were then "invading the state and the nation," how much more true it is today! No more apt or more pertinent quotation from the words of "our fathers of old" could be imagined for the present-day situation, especially in the nation. That it should be quoted by a Southern Democratic governor at this particular time, and that the quotation should be from an inaugural address of his own father, give the words a fresh and striking significance. New-fangled ideas of government have been dominant in the United States during recent years, the teachings of "the true apostles of American liberty." Every idea which do not square with organized minority that can affect sizes, Roy K. Bishop, for many years connected with the office of the county agricultural commissioner, will review his records covering three decades on county rainfall, humidity and temperatures.

New-fangled ideas of government have been dominant in the United States during recent years, the teachings of "the true apostles of American liberty." Every idea which do not square with organized minority that can pretend to wield even a small balance of power at the ballot box insists that there shall be legislation specially designed for its benefit. The doctrine that "the sole end of legislation should be the greatest number" has been widely rejected as out-moded and old-fashioned, and class legislation in the interest of all kinds of minority groups has been made fashionable and has come to be regarded as the only "progressive" legislation. That the government should do nothing for the citizen which the citizen is able to do for himself is laughed at or is denounced as a "reactionary" doctrine. And especially "reactionary" in the eyes of the "liberals" and "progressives" of this age is the doctrine that the people should support the government, not the government the people. The doctrine of this new age is, not only that the government should support the people," but that it should do it at the expense of our children and of our children's children. During nearly fifteen years we have had pretty much that kind of "progressive" government in this country and the end has not been safely reached yet. It is a favorable sign when a Southern Democratic governor and the head of the Democratic party in the largest state in the union revives such teachings of "all true apostles of American liberty," reaffirms the truth 4,508,555 Levied For Schools of County This Year The $4,509,555 property tax levy for the school districts in Orange county for the current year is 22 per cent higher than the $3,707,503 levied for 1945-46, reports California Taxpayers' association, making public the second part of its study of local tax levies. Local levy for the school districts in the county was $2,921,-197 for prewar 1941-42. Statewide local tax levies for school districts for 1946-47 are 27 per cent higher than they were for 1945-46. For the coming school year, the governor's budget sets up $161,-486,705 for state public school support—59 per cent more than for last year. The $161,486,705 reflects both the increased state support of schools voted by the people at the November, 1946 election and the increasing school population resulting from the large number of births during the last decade. ORANGE TREE BEARS STRANGE CROP When Ralph Welch who runs the Blue and Gold Service station at the corner of Spadra, and Orangethorpe this week found a strange crop in an orange grove near his place he reported it to the Anaheim police instead of the farm adviser. The crop proved to be a typewriter. The police turned the discovery over to the sheriff's office. of these teachings, and dedicates himself to their maintenance." The balance of the article from the "Southern Weekly" will appear next week. Predators and Paths To Orchardists in If you are a citrus grower, and if you have been wondering what has become of the black scale which used to be a major pest in your grove, this is to advise you you owe thanks to Metaphyyou helvolus. R. K. Bumgardner, deputy county agriculture commissioner whose specialty is dealing with crop pests, gives Metaphycus her volus practically all the credit for the disappearance of black scale from the county's citrus orchard. Metaphycus, in its adult stage is a tiny brownish yellow creature which looks like a gnat but really belongs to the wasp family. Its life is begun, however, as parasite living inside and feeding upon the black scale which finally devours before growing wings and flying out into the world. This magnificently helpful animal was brought from South Africa in 1937 by Harold Compeer, Citrus Experiment Station entomologist. For two years this tiny parasite colony was built up at the Experiment Station insectary and then released in Orange county and other groves where black scale was available. "It took hold," in the words of Mr. Bumgardner, in 1940. Will Metaphycus and its host the black scale, repeat the familiar pattern of biological control of pests? In its first phase of the cycle the pest enemy cleans up its host and then dies out because there is nothing more for it to eat; in its next phase the pest builds up again until there are sufficient numbers to provide a living for the enemy. Bumgardner ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 Herry-Over of Citrus Juice Did 'Not Bad' A huge urplus of canned and grapefruit juice which had a bad break in prices last week has been partly cleared by the carry-over is "not in bad now," according to James Hulley, manager of the Exe By Products company at Ontario, who talked night at the March meet at the Foothill Farm Center in Palm Park hall. There were 16,000,000 cases of citrus juice in various last November, he said, but surge has now been really reduced, though some was sold at prices so low would not have returned if the cans had been filled water. The oranges which provided of the juice in the 16,000,-pies some Florida growers re-only 15 cents for a 90-box, Finley said. Threat of a great surplus needed juice hanging over to fresh fruit prices in the following week. Hard Luck Tale Still Can Sell Watches — Here It develops that in this apparently cynical world a stranger with a well-told hard-luck tale can still sell a watch. And right here in Anaheim, too! This weekend the Anaheim police are looking for a stranger who after relating his misfortunes, sold several watches which proved highly disappointing to trusting buyers. Only change in this ancient swindle is that wrist watches now have been substituted for Grandpa's key-winder. The Anaheim operator is described as 30 years old, weighing 170 pounds and standing five feet, ten inches. Annies Begin Training Here Next Tuesday The Anaheim Annies who will represent Orange county in the 1947 season of the Class D Sunset baseball league will go into spring practice at La Palma park next Tuesday, April 1, it was announced this week by general manager Henry L Cohn. The first home practice game will be played under the lights at La Palma park against the USC Trojans the night of April 14, Cohn said, and the Annies' schedule for the season reveals it will open the regular season April 20 at Reno. The first home game of the schedule will be played April 25 against Riverside Dons. Manager Jack Rothock expects to open the training season with 25 to 30 boys in uniform and will keep the squad at it from 3 to 5 hours a day until he has worked out the desired combination. Three of the squad who have inked contracts with the Annies are experienced professional base- Navel Demand Advances Price Average 26c County Farmer Want In on Phone Rate Hearing A committee represented Orange County Farm called this week on J.

Total sales were more than 50 cars under sales for the preceding week and they brought about 26 cents more a box than they did during the preceding week. Demand continued to strengthen and no fruit appeared to be accumulating in the hands of the trade. The threat of a car shortage also seemed to be diminishing. The f. o. b. average for navels last week was around $4.43 a box compared with $3.87 for the corresponding week last year, $3.91 for the corresponding week in 1945 and $3.94 for 1944. It was estimated the first of this week that 5400 cars remained in the hands of all shippers which would be no more than enough to last through to the beginning of the valencia harvest. The demand for Florida oranges also picked up last week. The price average was up 75 cents a box, but still was $2.13 under the average for California navels. In the past three weeks navels have advanced a total of about 81 cents a box. Lemons which have been going strong for several weeks were a little off in price last week for the larger sizes but the smaller sizes improved slightly. Not enough, however, to keep the average from dropping last week 42 cents below the average for the preceding week. Some 240 cars in interstate commerce brought an average of $5.32. In the corresponding week last year, the average was $4.31 a box, f. o. b. Death Summons Old Resident Early Tuesday Mrs. Ellen Georgia Hollingworth, wife of Thomas H. Hollingworth, for many years an employee of the city of Anaheim, died early Tuesday at the family home, 325 East Broadway after a long illness. Born Ellen Georgia Wade in Illinois in 1871, she went with her parents at the age of four years to Nebraska where she grew up and where, on July 13, 1887, at the age of 16, she was married to Mr. Hollingworth. The family open the regular season April 20 at Reno. The first home game of the schedule will be played April 25 against Riverside Dons. Manager Jack Rothock expects to open the training season with 25 to 30 boys in uniform and will keep the squad at it from 3 to 5 hours a day until he has worked out the desired combination. Three of the squad who haveinked contracts with the Annies are experienced professional baseball players and four are college and high school stars. In addition to those already signed up the Sacramento Solons have promised General Manager Cohn talented youngsters for whom they could not find a place with the club. For the three outfield positions there are five candidates including Lee Stine, former major and minor league star; Nick Palica of a considerable baseball family of Lomita, Bill Wilson, said to have been rated the best high school athlete of Long Beach schools last season; Bob Mann of South Gate for whom Johnny Moore, chief western scout for the Boston Braves, predicts a great future, and Kenny Patton of Whittier, recommended highly by Lou Stringer, now second baseman for the Angels. In the infield three candidates will compete for the initial sack. They are Art Hoeberg of Ventura who was rated a great prospect before he became a paratrooper in 1942; Stanley DuBois who helped Glendale Junior college win a league championship in 1942 and John Dunlap of Pittsburgh who had a tryout two years ago with the Pirates under the eye of Manager Frankie Frisch, but who (Continued on Page 8) Will Attend TB Meeting In Los Angeles Mrs. R.

Orange county during the year bought $35,000 worth of detectors and parasites Big Help Orchardists in Pest Control gardner replies to this question by saying that there has been no bad black scale situation in the county since 1941. In the corresponding week last year, the average was $4.31 a box, f. o. b. Meditators and Parasites Big Help Orchardists in Pest Control K. Bumgardner, deputy agriculture commissioner specialty is dealing with pests, gives Metaphycus helptactically all the credit for appearance of black scale on county's citrus orchards. Phycus, in its adult stage by brownish yellow creaich looks like a gnat but belongs to the wasp family. It is begun, however, as a living inside and feeding the black scale which it devours before growing and flying out into the magnificently helpful animals brought from South in 1937 by Harold Comitrus Experiment Stationologist. For two years the basite colony was built up Experiment Station insect then released in Orange and other groves where sale was available. "Ok hold," in the words of Bumgardner, in 1940. Metaphycus and its host, black scale, repeat the fa-attern of biological conspests? In its first phase cycle the pest enemy cleans host and then dies out be-tere is nothing more for it; in its next phase theolds up again until there ancient numbers to provide for the enemy. Bumgardner replies to this question by saying that there has been no bad black scale situation in the county since 1941. In search of parasites for control of red scale, long-tail mealy bug and Baker's mealy bug, Compeer is back in South Africa or on his way there. Meantime the Orange county insectary is build-up a colony of Chilocorus distigma in hopes it may prove an effective predator upon red scale. This relatives of the ladybird was mailed to California from Australia in 1946 and will have to breed in captivity for another year before there will be sufficient numbers to release. Chilocorus stigma, a sister of the distigma, has been at work among the red scale of county orchards for some time. Bumgardner describes its work as "helpful," but falling short of control. Southern California citrus growers are not fully aware, says Bumgardner, of the extent to which the entomologists have helped them clean up their orchard pests. To the three pests for which growers generally spray or fumigate their groves—red and purple scale and citrus red spider—there are at least seven pests which now are biologically controlled, and a few others which a combination of biological control and weather help keep in hand. There now is good control by natural enemies, he says, of cotton cushion scale, soft brown scale, citrus mealy bug and citrophalus mealy bug, and fair control of Baker's mealy bug and Mrs. Ellen Georgia Hollingworth, wife of Thomas H. Hollingworth, for many years an employe of the city of Anaheim, died early Tuesday at the family home, 325 East Broadway after a long illness. Born Ellen Georgia Wade in Illinois in 1871, she went with her parents at the age of four years to Nebraska where she grew up and where, on July 13, 1887, at the age of 16, she was married to Mr. Hollingworth. The family came to Anaheim in 1903 and this has been their home ever since. A year after his arrival here Mr. Hollingworth became the carrier on Anaheim Rural Route 4 which he covered with a team and buggy. For a number of years Ella Wheeler Wilcox was in the habit of spending several months each year at the home of relatives on Mr. Hollingworth's route and he became well acquainted with the noted poetess. One day he asked her for a souvenir and a few days later she handed him a poem to which she had given the title "The Coming of the Postman." It was published in the Anaheim Gazette on November 2, 1919. Mr. and Mrs. Hollingworth would have celebrated their sixieth wedding anniversary next July 13. Besides her husband, Mrs. Hollingworth is survived by three daughters and two sons. They are Mrs. Zella Cosgrove of Anaheim, Mrs. Albert Michaell of Trabuco Canyon, Mrs. Myrtelle Tipping of Newport Beach, Dale J. Hollingworth of Santa Ana and Theodore W. Hollingworth of Anaheim. Other surviving relatives are a brother, Cyrus Wade of Gardena, a sister, Mrs. Susie Hall of Livermore, ten grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Funeral services were set for 2 p.m. today at the Hilgenfeld chapel, with entombment in Melrose Abbey mausoleum. Southern California 92nd Birthday of George H.

The Amerige brothers, not only captivated by the duck and goose shooting; they in love with the countryside the assembly of the hunter the old Planters' hotel in heim they learned a new rail was projected by the Santa from Buena Park to Santa by way of Anaheim. The result was that George Amerige persuaded George Fuller right-of-way manager for Santa Fe, to put a crook in proposed line to swing through the hunting grounds, before County Farmers Want In on Phone Rate Hearing A committee representing the Orange County Farm Bureau called this week on J. J. Deuel, director of the utilities division of the California State Farm Bureau, to ask him to take a hand in the hearing now in progress before the State Public Utilities Commission in Los Angeles on the application of the Southern California Telephone company for an increase in phone rentals and toll charges. The Orange county committee sent to Los Angeles prepared to by Orange county armers do not grudge the telephone company higher rates where they are justified, but they would like to be down they are justified. They are now, as they have been for years, strongly in favor of "extended service" in the county. "Extended service" has a definition almost as long as the moral law, but as applied to Anaheim, would mean that local phone users could dial subscribers in ad-hoc districts—such as Placenton, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Orange—without large, and subscribers in those areas.

Will Attend TB Meeting in Los Angeles Mrs. R. W. Balch of Anaheim be one of five delegates from Orange County Tuberculosis Health association to attend annual meeting of the California Tuberculosis and Health Association which will be held in Los Angeles tomorrow.

The Anaheim city council at its meeting Tuesday night decided to make an early start on discouraging improper parking in the city's off-street free parking lots. Given its first reading was an ordinance providing that improperly parked cars in the lots may be towed away at the owner's expense. It was explained car owners had been careless enough to park cars on the circle through the first of the projected series of lots, and even on sidewalks which are there for the use of pedestrians. Another council action had to do with parking. It was ordered that "no parking" signs be posted on Chestnut street between Citron and Ohio. At this point Chestnut street is only 16 feet wide, and cars parked there prevent householders from entering or leaving in their own cars. Other council actions: Placido Veyma was granted a variance to operate a grocery store adjoining his residence at 559 South Olive street. A portion of the property to the north is now in a light manufacturing district. A four-way stop at Palm and Broadway was authorized. Purchase of a used ton and a half truck was authorized for conversion for use by the water meter department. The annual resolution about abatement of weed nuisances was adopted. It provides that the city may proceed to abate the nuisance at the owner's expense if he fails to do so after the property has been posted ten days. A delegation of members of rifle and pistol clubs asked the city to provide 25 and 50 yard ranges with 50 shooting stations for use of the city's shooters, and recommended a location at the old settling basin in the industrial district at the northeastern corner of the city. The petitioners reported there are over 300 members of junior and adult teams in Anaheim, not including peace officers. The council agreed to consider the proposed site. City expenditures from March 1 through March 15 totaled $43,244.14, the council was informed. Richard E. Roehm, 912 North Philadelphia street, chemist at the U.S. Industrial Chemicals plant here, was appointed to fill a vacancy in the city planning commission.

AUHS Player Is Named Year's No. I Cage Star An Anaheim Union high school basket ball player has been named the California Interscholastic Federation basketball player of the year. The player is Houston Faulkner, 17 year old center for AUHS. The judgment on his quality as a player was passed by the Helms Athletic Foundation, All Southern California Board of Basketball. A selection by the Helms Foundation in Southern California is the equivalent of being picked by the national sports writers as a member of an All-American team. In announcing its choice of the No..1 player the board said: "Faulkner was a standout choice for the Player of the Year because of his great scoring ability and his value to the team. He seldom dropped below 15 points." Southern California Press Notes 2nd Birthday of Fullerton’s Founder George H. Amerige, and most of Southern California press with whom he celebrated his 92nd anniversary last Saturday. George H. Amerige, with the assistance of his brother, the late Edward R. Amerige, is the founder of Fullerton. Fullerton is the end result of a swing trip the Amerige brothook with some friends early in 1887 over some grassy fields that is now the northerly part of Orange county. The Amerige brothers, newly moved from Massachusetts, were only captivated by the quail and goose shooting; they fell love with the countryside. At assembly of the hunters at Old Planters’ hotel in Anaheim they learned a new rail line projected by the Santa Fe Railway to Buena Park to Santa Ana way of Anaheim. The result was that George Amerege persuaded George Fullerton, one-of-way manager for the Santa Fe, to put a crook in his closed line to swing through hunting grounds, before proceeding on to Anaheim. When Fullerton assented, Amerige brothers bought 450 acres of the grassy fields and opened their town. The date was July 5, 1887. George Amerige was born in Malden, Mass. At the age of 21 he bought a grain business and a dozen years later had made enough money to sell out and come to California with his brother who died in 1915. In the town he founded in 1887 George Amerige installed the first waterworks, the first street signs, the first street lights. He named the streets, mostly after names familiar to him in New England. Malden was named, of course, after the town of his birth. Highland was the name of the street in Malden on which he was born. George Amerige still lives on North Spadra Road, Fullerton’s main thoroughfare, and keeps a sharp eye on his business affairs. On the eve of his birthday he visited Fullerton’s first building which is preserved as a historical relic in Amerige park.
