Every State Assemblyman Signs Constitutional Convention Bill For the first time in the history of California, according to Arthur Ohnimus, chief clerk of the California Assembly, a bill is before the legislature bearing the name of every member of the state's Assembly. It is Assembly Bill 1292 by Alfred W. Robertson of Santa Barbara, calling for a constitutional convention in July, 1948. In 1934 the people of the state voted to call a constitutional convention but it was never called by the California State Legislature. Assemblyman Robertson's bill creates a convention of 120 members, one from each Assembly district and one from each Senatorial district in the state, to be elected at the May primary in 1948 and to meet in Santa Barbara in July to draft a new constitution to be submitted to the voters at the next general election. "The reasons are clear," said Assemblyman Robertson. "Our present state constitution was adopted in 1879. It consists of 226 pages as compared with the federal constitution of 16 pages of the same size, and is mostly a compendium of petty statutes and laws, many of which are now outdated and antequated, and many of which have been declared unconstitutional under the federal constitution. "For instance, one provision is that no Chinaman may be employed by any corporation in California." "Many of its provisions prevent and do not aid in modern efficient install Holve Toastmaster President Monday" Climaxing a combined business session, banquet and special "ladies night" program, Al Holve was seated as president of the Anaheim Toastmasters club at the high school cafeteria last Monday evening. Presiding over the affair was outgoing President Bob Allen. The installation ceremony was conducted by Darrell McGuaran, past president of the Fullerton Toastmasters, No. 460, who presented Allen with the past president's pin. Installed with Holve were Aubrey Van Verst, vice president; Ed Wright, secretary; John Gilmore, Sergeant-at-arms; Sydney Pellew, deputy governor, and Bob Allen, alternate deputy governor. Written questions concerning phases of the United States diplomatic relations with Russia, the causes and effects of Russian policies and chances of world or regional aggression by the Soviet Union were presented for discussion by Aubrey Van Verst, table topic master. After enjoying a delectable chicken dinner, the three speakers of the evening were introduced by President Bob Allen. Speech honors went to Dr. Kenneth Heuler for his interpretation of "Crisis" as found in civilization and its chances of survival. Sydney Pellew was his individual critic.

After enjoying a delectable chicken dinner, the three speakers of the evening were introduced by President Bob Allen. Speech honors went to Dr. Kenneth Heuler for his interpretation of "Crisis" as found in civilization and its chances of survival. Sydney Pellew was his individual critic. William Davis spoke on "Coal" with Paul Demaree as his critic and Royal Marten discussed "What Is Democracy" contrasting it with Communism. His critic was Max Schreiber. Keenly analytical and "sharp" criticisms were given by general critic Vic Huber. Robert H. Allen was official timekeeper. A sound motion picture, "Sea Power in the Pacific," was shown by Chief Boatswain Mate George A. Garant of the United States Navy recruiting office at Santa Ana. It featured a pictorial resume of the U.S. naval action from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day. Because of the area speak-off scheduled for next Tuesday at the Santa Ana Ebell clubhouse, the local Monday meeting was postponed. Incoming President Holve will represent the local group, it was announced. Tickets for the dinner affair may be obtained from Davis. Deadline for tickets to the area affair is Tuesday. As a prelude to outlining the various duties of club officers, McGauran remarked that the functions of the International organization, which has doubled its membership during the past three years, are both civic and educational. "It's a good way to learn how to be nervous gracefully," he commented. Highlighting the new club calendar is the new Fullerton club's "ladies night" at which time the president will present the club charter. The founder's district of which the Anaheim club is a member, has the distinction of having provided three national presidents.

Navel Sales Up, Lemons Down in East California sold more oranges and fewer lemons in interstate commerce last week than in the preceding week. Navel oranges averaged about 7 cents a box less than in the preceding week and lemons were down about 33 cents a box. At the same time Florida and Texas sales declined somewhat. California navels averaged $4.39 a box, f. o. b. the packing house last week and total sales about equaled the total for the corresponding week in 1945 and was far ahead of the corresponding week last year. On slightly reduced volume, lemons last week averaged about $5.15 a box, f. o. b. packing house, compared to $4.25 in the corresponding week last year and $4.94 in 1945. Health conditions in the east were reported improved and to this fact was attributed a slightly easier lemon market. A sale of 600 boxes of Italian lemons was reported from New York during the week at a delivered price of $5.97 per box. This price is substantially below California returns and will just about pay expenses. The lemon prorate for the week ending April 12 has been set at 380 cars, 30 cars more than the previous week. 106 Disability Begin First Teachers' Class Designed to authorize volunteer American Red Cross and senior first hour course was later first three-hour session (Wednesday) at the headquarters, 1104 North Street, Room 14, bldg o'clock.

A A A AND THE FARMER OURPLUS SPUDS HELP OVER-SEAS NEEDS Exports of potatoes under the government program to move stocks from the 1946 bumper crop are now past the three million bushel mark, USDA reports. Completed contracts under the export program cover six million bushels more, while contracts for another two million bushels are being negotiated. The department will purchase an additional 6.5 million bushels U. S. No. 1 grade potatoes from Maine and the north central states. These will be purchased at support prices, for resale to the army. These potatoes will be distributed in Germany for seed, says the USDA, and will permit potatoes now held there to be reused for table use.

The West as a whole has one-third of its farms in the $4000-or-over class. DAIRYMEN'S CASH INCOME FOR '47 MAY BE LESS THAN FOR '46 Dairy farmers may take in less cash from dairy products in 1947 than they did in 1946. But 1946 was a record-breaking year, and income for 1947 will still be higher than for any previous year. That's the way it looks to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. The American public spending more for consumers goods now coming into market after a wartime scarcity, and less for dairy products, says the BAE. Greatest declines, they expect, will be in demands for fluid milk, whole milk powder and domestic production of foreign-type cheese. Dairy exports in 1947 will fall below 1946 exports. CHEDDAR CHEESE SET-ASIDE ENDED War Food Order 15 which required manufacturers of cheddar cheese to set aside certain percentages of their production for sale to government agencies has been terminated. Some 1,205 million pounds of cheddar cheese were set aside for government use during 1943-46. THE WORLD IS STILL SHORT OF FOOD Strong foreign demand and an urgent need for food supplies from the United States will continue over the year, according to Dr. D. FitzGerald, secretary-general of the International Emergency Food Council. World food production in 1946 says Dr. FitzGerald is about equal to the average yearly production for the period 1935-39. It world ppulation, and along with it food consumption, has increased since 1939 by about 8 percent. Consequently, the per capita supply of food is short by 8 percent. INSUS SHOWS MANY FARMS WITH LOW INCOME GROUP Only one out of every five U.S. farms yielded $4000 worth of products in 1944, according to newly-released figures from the 1945 Census. This is the minimum level of production necessary to return a net income beween $2000 and $3000. Two-thirds of the nation's farms averaged only about $900 in gross value of output, the 1944 figures show. Although American farmers see what the Bureau of Agricultural Economics terms "the best private business in the world," over one-half of the total out in dollar value is concentrated on one-tenth of the farms, the bottom one-third of the farms are limited to 4 percent of productive value. CHEDDAR CHEESE SET-ASIDE ENDED War Food Order 15 which required manufacturers of cheddar cheese to set aside certain percentages of their production for sale to government agencies has been terminated. Some 1,205 million pounds of cheddar cheese were set aside for government use during 1943-46. These set-aside aided government purchases for U.S. military and Lend-Lease needs, even out supplies available for civilian consumption throughout the year, and provided outlets for the heavy milk production of spring and summer months. NO EXTRA CANNING STAMP THIS YEAR There won't be any special sugar stamp for canning this year, say the rationing officials. No sugar, they point out, has been earmarked for use of farm families planning to "put up" and preserve this summer and fall. Number 11 ration stamp became valid April 1. This is good for 10 pounds. Provisions will be made later, the officials promise, to increase the ration for all users slightly above last year's levels. STATE MARKETING WALNUT ORDER IN EFFECT The State Department of Agriculture announces that with the expiration of WFO 82, the State Marketing Order regulating the handling in intrastate commerce of California-grown walnuts, is again operative. The state marketig order was suspended on September 29, 1943, because of the issuance of WFO 82. WFO 82 terminated March 31, 1947, and the State Marketing Order then again became effective.

Scribner will portray all the characters he does in the radio show and in addition will appear as "Uncle Remus" in costume and tell an "Uncle Remus" story. "The Johnson Family have had more than 5000 broadcasts, and tribute was recently paid to Scribner by Fulton Lewis, Jr. who said in his own broadcast "I don't think there ever has been or ever will be anything to compare with the "Johnson Family". It is my favorje amusement in all radio.

TROUT SEASON BEGINS Of "reel" interest to all anglers, was the opening of the trout season in southern California last Saturday, as announced by the fish and game commission. Streams were restocked with 119,-400 "legal-sized" specimens in honor of the grand opening. Catch limit per fisherman is 15 trout. Prefabricated Houses Obtained For New School Authorities of the Los Angeles University of Applied Education, which has announced it will move its main campus from Los Angeles to a new site purchased on Imperial Highway between La Habra and Fullerton, have informed people in La Habra that they have obtained from the government about 150 prefabricated buildings. According to information available in La Habra, the university has purchased 20 acres for its campus and that it hopes to obtain a total of 80 acres, but this is dependent on a real estate development adjoining the proposed campus. The developers have stated they have an option on 250 acres for a price of $300,000. The plan is that investors in the subdivision will make a profit and that at least a part of such profits will be diverted to the university. School Superintendent C. J. Brower of La Habra reported last week that Dr. Claude L. Welch, president of the Los Angeles university, had told him the school would "have access" to $500,000 a soon as it has been established and would also be in position to obtain materials of the same value.
