COLONY QUIPS An old friend and teacher always made this point to a new class of students: 'People will forgive almost anything except trying to make them think.' At the risk of not being forgiven and also because next Sunday is Father's Day we print a letter from a father to his son on his 21st birthday. That son is, of course, a potential father so the advice is doubly appropriate. This should be equally interesting to the women folks. My Dear Son: At this time, it is my purpose to tell you something of life as I see it through the perspective of the years. I do so with the hope that it may benefit you but not with the expectation that you will accept all my views, or abide by the results of my experience. OF TIME—Some people have the idea that gold is the most precious thing in the world. Such an opinion is, of course, wrong. The most precious thing in the world is time. Every human being has a certain allotment of time, fixed by his condition of health and the exigencies of his life. It may mean much or little to him, according to the manner in which it is occupied. The improper use of it may even become a menace to his life or to those about him. The proper use of it is the most important factor in any man's life. The span of his years, measured in the sum total of history, is a very, very brief one. There are Council Holds Builder To Variance Terms Following lengthy discussion, the Anaheim city council decided to enforce a building variance regulation, which will require the alteration by the owner of a partially completed concrete and steel bottling plant near Los Angeles street and La Palma. Instead of being 65 feet back from road rights, as specified, it extends approximately 18 feet over the setback line, E. P. Hapgood, city engineer, said. May financial reports for the city of Anaheim, presented by City Clerk Charles Griffith, showed a general fund of $73,402.75 and total general accounts of $192,263.38. Warrants for May 16 to 31 totaled $34,559.45 bringing the total for the month to $67,252.09. Total deposits in the city treasury as stated in a report by Beatrice Orange Is No. 1 County of Nation In Orange Tree More orange trees of all were growing in Orange county on January 1, 1945, than in other county in the nation; cording to figures from the Census of Agriculture just released by Director J. C. Capt., total was 4,926,328 trees. Los Angeles county was second in nation with 4,493,040 trees. Eleven other California counties were among the 50 leading range growing counties in the nation. That means 37 of the leading orange growing counties in the United States are outside California. The information available here this week did not cater where these counties are. The 13 leading California counties reported a total of 20,342 orange trees which was 99.8 percent of California's total. An was 52 per cent of the nation's 38,850,840 trees of all ages. After Los Angeles county on Tulare which stood fourth in nation with 3,371,067 trees. Every human being has a certain allotment of time, fixed by his condition of health and the exigencies of his life. It may mean much or little to him, according to the manner in which it is occupied. The improper use of it may even become a menace to his life or to those about him. The proper use of it is the most important factor in any man's life. The span of his years, measured in the sum total of history, is a very, very brief one. There are many things to do in that short period. A man's capacity for accomplishment must inevitably be measured by the method by which he utilizes his time. If you haven't already worked out such a plan, may I urge upon you the vital importance of planning your hours with the view to utilizing them for the benefit of yourself and those around you? A life so ordered will bring happiness. A life frittered away will inevitably bring discontent and unhappiness. OF HEALTH—So long as we have health, we are indifferent to it; when we lose it, we awake to its importance. If the average individual could bring himself to understand how vital it is to conserve this precious possession, we would have less sickness in the world. Thomas Carlyle said that most men dig their grave with their teeth. This is only another way of declaring that most people overeat and neglect their bodies. The joys of a good meal and a good drink are generally the joys of youth. Years will inevitably bring temperance to the tippler and the trencherman: If you are to find happiness, prudently care for your physical body. OF WEALTH—Men are commonly spoken of as successful who accumulate a large amount of this world's goods. This is very far from accurate. Wealth and the physical enjoyment incident to the control of it are not to be despised, but as an end in themselves they are unimportant. There are many individuals who make the attainment of wealth the end and aim of their lives. Many of these individuals are far from happy. In the first place, a lifetime of thought devoted to gain, that is to say, to the accumulation of profits almost necessarily at the expense of somebody else, creates a mental habit which undertakes to measure the setback line, E. P. Hapgood, city engineer, said. May financial reports for the city of Anaheim, presented by City Clerk Charles Griffith, showed a general fund of $73,402.75 and total general accounts of $192,263.38. Warrants for May 16 to 31 totaled $34,559.45 bringing the total for the month to $67,252.09. Total deposits in the city treasury as stated in a report by Beatrice M. Miller, city auditor, for the month were $22,936.07. The joint outfall sewer budget submitted in a report by Engineer Ewald M. Lemcke was approved. Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Placentia, Garden Grove, La Habra and Buena Park will contribute to the total fund of $20,480. Building Inspector Rudolph Nyboe's report showed 46 building permits issued in May with a total valuation of $134,400. Appointment of Robert E. Plaisted as deputy city patrolman, by Chief of Police Mark A. Stephenson, was approved by the council. A. G. Tuma, tax collector, reported unpaid city taxes on June 1 totaled $1,648.06. Personal property tax collected from November 1 to May 1946 totaled $7,578.88. Controller Clara Goff's report on the Public Service department revealed that $46,924.56 had been deposited during May. The parking meter maintenance report by Forest Wolverton showed 245 meters serviced and a total collection of $2,322. Fifty-three arrests were made by the police department, 242 traffic citations issued by officers, and 725 parking meter citations issued. With the closing of local schools, the public plunge in Anaheim city park will open Friday afternoon, Jack Long, director, announced. Standardization of prices was postponed temporarily by general agreement. A resolution to annex a 20-foot strip of land on Olive street, granted to the city by General Electric Co., for street purposes, was adopted. An ordinance permitting the Federal Oil Company, Verana road and Ellis avenue, and similar concerns to connect with the joint outfall sewer lines will be drawn up with the stipulation that they connect below the treatment plant in Huntington Beach. An ordinance fixing the amounts of the clerk treasurer among orange growing counties in California. The information available here this week did not locate where these counties are. The 13 leading California counties reported a total of 20,342 orange trees which was 99.8 percent of California's total. An was 52 per cent of the nation's 38,850,840 trees of all ages. After Los Angeles county o Tulare which stood fourth in nation with 3,371,067 trees. Bernardino was fifth in the town with 3,197,735 and Venice county was seventh with 1,683. Riverside stood eleventh, Diego county 17th, Fresno county 28th, Kern county 30th, Bountiful county 36th, Glenn county 41st Sacramento 45th and Impala county 50th. Paul Crist Takes New, Bigger Farm Bureau Job Paul V. Crist of Yorba Linda who has served the Orange County Farm Bureau as assistant secretary since November 1, has agreed to join the staff of State Farm Bureau Federation an area representative. He entered upon his new duties some time this month. Crist's are will include Ventura Santa Barbara and San Francisco counties and he expects to make his headquarters in Santa Barbara. Crist was reared there and in Fullerton and graduated in forestry by the University of California. He was the army for more than four years and saw service in the Philippines. In the Farm Bureau he has a charge of war surplus sales on the job training in agriculture and shared other duties. Another promotion of interest to Orange County Farm Bureau members is that of R. D. Flaherty who was secretary of the bureau for a number of years prior to 1933. Flaherty who has been secretary of the Washington State Farm Bureau has taken the role of secretary of the Nebraska State Farm Bureau. The Nebraska State Farm Bureau has a membership of 14%. As successor to Crist the county Farm Bureau has chosen Ronald M. Hobbs of a well known Orangutan family. His father, Earl Holloway was one of the owners for many years of the Tustin Cement Plant.

An Atheism Union high school senior was heard in the premier conference of the Orange County Youthphony orchestra Friday night played in the Southern California Symphonic Festival at Santa Monica. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1947 Orange Is No. 1 County of Nation in Orange Trees More orange trees of all ages are growing in Orange county January 1, 1945, than in any other county in the nation, acting to figures from the 1945ensus of Agriculture just released by Director J. C. Capt. The was 4,926,328 trees. Los Ana county was second in the town with 4,493,040 trees. Even other California counties were among the 50 leading or growing counties in the nation. That means 37 of the lead-orange growing counties in United States are outside of California. The information available here this week did not indicate where these counties are. The 13 leading California counties reported a total of 20,343,469 large trees which was 99.8 per cent of California’s total. And it is 52 per cent of the nation’s 10,840 trees of all ages. After Los Angeles county came here which stood fourth in the town with 3,371,067 trees. San Francisco valencias top $9; Small Sizes Drop Fancy valencias last week brought as much as $8 a box and even more. But the average for all sizes and grades for the week was about $2.55 a box, f.o.b., less if anything than the average for the week before. The low average was due to the fact that the smaller sizes—252s and smaller—are bringing hardly enough to return the grower anything, and 60 per cent of the shipments so far have been of these smaller sizes. Market experts predict that in view of the fact that there is as much juice in a box of 288s as there is in a box of 176s, consumer interest would turn from the high priced large fruit to the under-priced small fruit. But that trend had not appeared early this week. From one car of fruit sold in New York this week the 150s brought $9.10 a box and the 344s Extended Phone Service Request Delayed by New Company Demand Leaders of the Orange County Farm Bureau this week that a hearing of their application for telephone service in this county had been delayed nitely. The Orange County Farm Bureau application hied in with the application of the telephone company the state for a substantial increase in their present Hearing by the California Public Utilities commission on that application had progressed to the point where cross-examination of company’s witnesses by interests opposing the increases was practically completed when the company indicated it wished to file an amended petition asking an additional increase that would produce approximately $10,500,-000 in revenue and moved that it be permitted to make a 6.3 per cent surcharge on present rates, applicable at once. This proposed surcharge would amount to about $10,500,000 for California. Thereupon the commission suspended the hearing until June 20 when it will rule upon the application. J. Deuel, public utilities attorney New Schedule Reduces Train Service Here In effect this week was Santa Fe train schedule reduced passenger and man out of Anaheim by one train discontinued service was ed by local No. 53, Los bound, which now travel San Bernardino direct to geles via Atwood, Place Fullerton.

Paul Crist Takes New, Bigger Farm Bureau Job Paul V. Crist of Yorba Linda has served the Orange County Farm Bureau as assistant secretary since November 1, 1945, agreed to join the staff of the Farm Bureau Federation as representative. He will upon his new duties some this month. Stets' are will include Ventura, Barbara and San Luis counties and he expects to headquarters in Santa Ana. Crist was reared in Linda, attended school and in Fullerton and was situated in forestry by the University of California. He was in army for more than four years saw service in the Philippines. The Farm Bureau he has had one of war surplus sales and the job training in agriculture shared other duties. Another promotion of interest Orange County Farm Bureau is that of R. D. Flaherty was secretary of the bureau number of years prior to Flaherty who has been secretary of the Washington State Bureau has taken the post secretary of the Nebraska State Bureau. The Nebraska bureau a membership of 14,000 successor to Crist the county Bureau has chosen Robert Robbs of a well known Orange v. His father, Earl Hobbs, one of the owners for many of the Tustin Cement Pipe Market experts predict that in view of the fact that there is as much juice in a box of 288s as there is in a box of 176s, consumer interest would turn from the high priced large fruit to the under-priced small fruit. But that trend had not appeared early this week. From one car of fruit sold in New York this week the 150s brought $9.10 a box and the 344s brought only $2.90 a box, a differential of $6.20 a box. On the same day the average for all markets was $7 a box, delivered for 150s and for 344s it was $2.55, a spread of $4.56. Shippers expected to see the orange market improve when Florida valencias are out of the market and there were signs this week Florida is on the way out. Instead of the 2100 cars expected last week, early estimates indicated Florida sold about 1730 cars and this week's shipments were expected to drop to 1680 cars. Prorate for southern California valencias next week is 1900 cars. In contrast with oranges, lemons continued their upward trend, in response to more favorable weather, light supplies in the hands of the trade and a growing demand. The f.o.b. average for all lemons last week was around $4.45 a box compared to $4.05 at the corresponding period last year, $4.87 in 1945 and $5.68 in 1944. Last week's average was about 68 cents more than the average for the previous week. Monday's sales were at somewhat higher levels in most parts of the country. Another favorable factor was that the highest prices were brought by 360s, which is the most abundant size in most California districts this year. Shippers are beginning to worry some about the possibility of a car shortage. Church Closes 3-Day State Conclave Here With appointment of ministers, a three day session of the California Conference of the Evangelical United Brethren church ended at Salem church on West Center street Sunday night. Rev. A. L. Horn who has been pastor of the Anaheim church was appointed to the church in Lodi parly indicated it wished to file an amended petition asking an additional increase that would produce approximately $10,500,-000 in revenue and moved that it be permitted to make a 6.3 per cent surcharge on present rates, applicable at once. This proposed surcharge would amount to about $10,500,000 for California. Thereupon the commission suspended the hearing until June 20 when it will rule upon the application. J. Deuel, public utilities attorney for the State Farm Bureau Federation, advised the Orange county Farm Bureau that the recent wage advances granted by the telephone companies in California had increased their operating charges by about $12,015,000. Accordingly the Orange county Farm Bureau leaders and its public utilities committee reconciled themselves to a protracted wait for an opportunity to present their case for extended telephone service in this county. Indicating he was not revealing all details of the study made in recent weeks by the Farm Bureau public utilities committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Leslie Coleman of West Orange, Cecil J. Marks, Farm Bureau general secretary, gave out this data: It was found that 24 packing-houses and agricultural service companies made toll calls during 1946 numbering 26,607 and that 68.49% of them were to adjoining exchanges. This is considered as concrete evidence of community interest and need in telephone service. Polling farm center members showed that only one member present in nine meetings voted against extended service. Another figure revealed was that some of the members reported upon prepared sheets concerning the exchanges to which they made calls about their regular farm business. It was shown that 41% of the places to which they ordinarily phoned in the course of their business were in their own exchange; 43 per cent were in contiguous telephone exchanges and 16% were made to non-contiguous exchanges. This sampling came from all parts of the county. Mrs. Coleman also made personal surveys of telephone calls made to and from packing-houses, which revealed other evidence of community need. Packing-houses and other agricultural service organizations made reports upon maps showing the general location of their mom Santa Fe train schedule was produced passenger and mail out of Anaheim by one train discontinued service was ed by local No. 53, Los bound, which now travel San Bernardino direct to Angeles via Atwood, Place Fullerton.

Rev. A. L. Horn who has been pastor of the Anaheim church was appointed to the church in Lodi and Rev. P. R. Selfridge, formerly of Stockton, will come to Anaheim. Sixty-five delegates attended the Anaheim conference which was the first since the union last October of the Evangelical and the United Brethren churches. On the closing day three new ministers were ordained with Bishop C. H. Stauffacher D.D. of Kansas City, Mo., and Rev. C. F. Schmidt of Orange officiating. The three new ministers are Rev. J. E. Brecsheisen of San Francisco, Rev. C. F. Chubb of Long Beach and Rev. J. M. Schmidt of Sacramento, a son of the Orange pastor. Bishop Ira D. Warner of Pomona was among the speakers at services on the closing day. There are 20 Evangelical United Brethren churches in California. 13 ANAHEIM STUDENTS TO GET DIPLOMAS AT FJC Fullerton junior college students from this city who will graduate on campus Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock include Dorothy J.

Mrs. Coleman also made personal surveys of telephone calls made to and from packinghouses, which revealed other evidence of community need. Packinghouses and other agricultural service organizations made reports upon maps showing the general location of their members or clients. All of these maps held to a general pattern that substantiates the fact that Orange county is a small compact county where telephone exchange lines have practically no relation to community convenience and needs. The petition to the Utilities Commission points out that the population of Orange county has increased greatly and is continuing to grow; that all of the factors used in the study will become more evident as the days pass by; that the numerous telephone exchanges set up artificial barriers to free communication; that if the lines of Santa Ana, for instance, were extended as far northward and in other directions as they are at present extended toward the Irvine area, practically every other telephone exchange in the county, with the exception of some south coastal city exchanges, would be overrun. In closing, the petition states that "We are quite willing to start a long range plan to obtain this service, but we are most anxious that the commission call for a survey that will give us the facts upon which we can base our future plans." Although results from this major project of Farm Bureau may not be evident for a long time, says Marks, it is considered that an impetus will be given to better telephone service in Orange county. 10-Acre Grove In Tustin Area Brings $55,000 Mrs. Eunice A.

Motorist Blamed For Death of 2 In Motor Crash Responsibility for the death of Fred C. Paulus and his wife, Bessie, in an automobile crash June 3, at the intersection of Ball road and Placentia avenue, only a few blocks from their home at the corner of Placentia avenue and Anaheim-Olive road, was placed by a coroner's jury Saturday upon James W. Tangeman, 22, of San Dimas. Testimony indicated that while there is provision for a boulevard stop for Ball road traffic at Placentia avenue, the stop sign had been taken down by a house moving crew the afternoon before the crash. It also indicated that new black top surfacing on Ball road had covered up the sign painted on the pavement. Also it was disclosed that it would have been possible for Tangeman, traveling eastward on Ball road, and the driver of the Paulus car, proceeding northward on Placentia avenue, to have seen the lights of the other car approaching the intersection 84 feet before they reached it. The inquest was held at the Hilgenfeld mortuary shortly before funeral services for Mr. and Mrs. Paulus which were conducted by Rev. Stanley F. George, former pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city.

Moeller, secretary-treasurer, stressed the importance of the Anaheim Community Planning Project, saying: "We believe it offers the greatest potentiality for chamber activity and community benefit." As to chamber finances, Moeller reported "the largest membership financial support in the history of the chamber." He continued: "Instead of the unit of dues being confined to $25, we now have in addition, $50, $75, $100, $150, $250 and $500 units for membership. Yes, we have $250 members and we are optimistically casting around for the first $500 one. The $12,50 membership has been retained for individuals who are not in business. The membership is likewise holding its own at the nearest saturation point of 360 for a city of this size." Membership fees received for the 11 month period covered by the report totaled $8850. As the city's advertising agent the chamber received an additional $3000. Special events and miscellaneous items brought the chamber's total income for the 11 months to $23,600, compared to a total income from all sources last year of $15,250 and $12,000 in the year before that. Outstanding services were attributed in the report to J. C. Coling's Community Design and Land Use committee, James Kilduff's Annexation committee, the Parking and Traffic committee, the Public Safety, Health and Welfare committee, the Retail Division and the Recreation and Events committee. As to Anaheim's progress as an industrial center, Moeller reported: General Electric's Anaheim Glyptal Works is in production, Oranco Iron Foundry is rapidly increasing its payroll.

New Arrivals From Foreign Parts Are Pampered Guests at Insectary Sumptuous feasts and luxurious housing is being prepared in Anaheim for some eagerly awaited guests from foreign countries. When they arrive their entertainers will be on the alert to discover if they are being served their favorite food and if their quarters please them. Moreover they will be supported in this style until they decide whether they wish to settle permanently in this vicinity. If they do their lavish entertainment will continue until they are on a self-supporting basis. The place where these preparations are being made is the county insectary on Vermont street, near east street. The hoped-for guests are predators or parasites to prey upon the county's crop pests. Most of these predators and parasites have yet to be discovered. But when they are found by scouts who practically cover the earth, Bush Bumgardner, chief entomologist in the office of County Agricultural Commissioner D. W. Rubbs, is making every effort to anticipate their desires revealed soon their arrival here. One new arrival at the insectary Parsioela Emigrans, a tiny wasp from the Hawaiian islands which seems to have an appetite for the four varieties of citrus worm which have become a top ranking citrus pest in Orange county. The few insects at the insectary are being offered all sorts of dainties in an effort to discover what they like best. Just now their diet is the comparatively rare navel orange worm. If this wasp multiplies abundantly at the insectary they will in time be released in chosen orchards to prove whether they can make their own way in this environment. Another new guest at the insectary is a variety of ladybird beetle from Africa.
