COLONY QUIPS
A person hears all kinds of comments on the new labor bill just passed over Truman's veto and in most every case the opinion expressed is the speaker's own prejudice and really has little, if any, base on the facts. We all know the meaning of some of the provisions, such as, the outlawing of the secondary boycott and the jurisdictional strike. Some of the other provisions in the realm of injunction proceedings are a little more complicated and anyway will have to be adjudicated and have rules developed for their enforcement before we can know just how they will work out in practice. Our main concern, however, should be to find out how the whole business will affect the individual. The right of the individual is, after all, one of the main pillars of the American way of life and the full protection of these rights comes close to being the heart of the American dream.
The trade union has been an integral part of our economy for many years and we are all more or less familiar with it. This bill outlaws the closed shop but leaves the union shop intact and we want to point out how this provision will affect the individual man who is out to get a job. If he applies for work where there is no union contract there will be no change. But if he applies in an industry where there is a union contract he may be accepted for employment but after a certain time on the

Anaheim in Line for $100,000 Unit Armory Says National Guard Office
Six promotions in Co. L, 224th Infantry, California National Guard, have been announced by regimental headquarters at Ontario.
Staff Sergeants Duane C. Harvey and Jarrett W. McConnell have been advanced to the rank of technical sergeant. Private Ed S. Driskill has been made a sergeant and Privates Lee S. Cooper and John W. Vuksanovich have been made corporals.
Anaheim's National Guard unit is an added source of income to the community just as any new industry. The National Guard pays its way through federal and state funds.
Anaheim is in line for a single unit armory costing $100,000, it was stated by Lt. John V. Wilts, Bn PIO officer. An additional $5,100 will be used for landscaping and office equipment, making a total investment of $105,100. This is a permanent investment. The armory will be of concrete
Each year $1,650 will be paid for repairs and utilities. The annual payroll for Anaheim's K will be $26,942 paid to the community. Maintenance of the unit, cleaning of men's uniforms and operations and maintenance of motor vehicles will add another $2,600 annually, and $3000 will be for recruiting, postage, and exercises.
State funds cover the unitary, its maintenance and operating expense. The federal pay townsmen who are members of the guard and the maintenance and operating expense for hundreds of thousands of dollars of military equipment sued to the local unit by the Department.

The old wheeze can't be pulled on unsuspecting apprentices any more for it might be possible that they would return with the goods. Then the investigators would be hoist on their own petards, as the romantic writers say. There was nothing said about the keys to the flagpole or a usable check stretcher.

STOP ADVERTISING? — A manufacturer who finds himself in an over-sold condition, or who expects shortly to be over-sold, can, with all logic, discontinue his advertising providing the following things prevail, the western advertising manager of Good Housekeeping wrote to a list of advertisers. The conditions he listed were: that his present competitors stop advertising, no new competitors enter the field, no one discovers a substitute for his product, none of his present dealers go out of business, no new dealers enter the picture, the public stops being born, the public stops dying, the public stops forgetting, his dealers do not realize he has stopped pushing his product after they stocked it, he expects to go out of business as soon as the parade is over.
Conference Of Pacific Coast Baptists Ends
Two hundred delegates from the Baptist churches of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California concluded Sunday night a four-day convocation of the North American Baptist Conference, Pacific Area, which was held at Bethel Baptist church on West Broadway.
Rev. P. G. Neumann served not only as host pastor to the conference but was elected for a second year as moderator.
The general theme of the conference was "The Triumph of Faith" and practically all of the dozen speakers discussed some facet of faith.
One of the problems of the day discussed at the conference was the matter of moving the Baptist seminary from Rochester, N. Y., to Sioux Falls, S. D., where it would merge with Sioux Falls College, a Baptist institution of higher learning.
A congregation numbering between 500 and 600 attended the final session of the conference Sunday night, those not being able to find seats in the main auditorium hearing the addresses and worship services over loudspeakers set up in other rooms of the church.
Burglars Pay Radio Store Second Visit
For the second time in little more than two months the Doller Radio Service store at 726 South Los Angeles street was broken into early Tuesday and several hundred dollars worth of radio receiving sets hauled off.
Warren Doller, owner, valued an added source of income to the community just as any new industry. The National Guard pays its way through federal and state funds.

Cylcle Change Job Nearly Done About Anaheim
City of Anaheim and E Company's clock depot in Anaheim city substation, South Los Angeles street, close July 2, it has been announced by R. E. Bacon, district manager. After July 2 the display new 60-cycle clocks will move another area and the clocks by customers to be cycle-changed will be returned to another location when they have been added. Bacon said clock owners be notified by mail when these clocks are ready to be called.
Most of the frequency choreographers work in and near Anaheim and have moved on to the area. A small crew, however, remain at Edison's district office in Santa Ana a few more years to finish up and to assist in matters relating to the new frequency.
"Changing our system to a form standard frequency of cycles is a tremendous undertaking," Bacon said, "but it is worth while in the better service it provides our customers. Example, the change to 60-current will make it much easier for our customers to obtain quency-sensitive equipment, since the trend is toward the mass production of standard 60-cycle devices. In fact, even now it is technically impossible to buy certain 50-cycle items, due to the many appliance manufacturers have concentrated their production for the larger 60-market. Standardizing at 60-cells will save our customers the expense and nuisance of changing frequency-sensitive items, such as clocks and replayers, when they move in."
Paul Demaree Wins Speech Trophy
Paul H. Demaree, principal of Anaheim Union high school, took top speech honors and the Patterson trophy for his 12-minute interpretation of "A Merit Type Salary Schedule for Teachers" during the regular dinner meeting of the Anaheim Toastmasters club Monday night at 6:30 o'clock in La Palma Grill. President Alfred Holve wielded the gavel.
Sydney Pellew and John Dwyer promised comprehensive reports of international Toastmasters convention August 5 to 11 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which they will attend.
Table topic chairman Joe Kaska presented the subject "The Taft-Hartley Labor Measure." Lengthy and ardent discussion followed.
Ed Wright, toastmaster of the evening, introduced the speakers. Ralph Alexander spoke seven minutes on "Foreign Trade," and Dr. Kenneth Heuler discussed "Our New Home" five minutes, extemporaneously.
Rev. Leslie Sim was critic. Holve will mail notices to next week's program candidates, it was disclosed.
THE BENNERS LEAVE FOR MISSOURI
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Benner and son, Robert, 219 South Lemon street, left last Thursday for St. Louis where they will visit friends and relatives.
Burglars Pay Radio Store Second Visit
For the second time in little more than two months the Doller Radio Service store at 726 South Los Angeles street was broken into early Tuesday and several hundred dollars worth of radio receiving sets hauled off.
Warren Doller, owner, valued the stolen property this time at about $550.
Police said the burglar or burglars entered the store through a back window. As a precaution against leaving identifying fingerprints he or they wore gloves. But police got photographs of automobile tracks and footprints.
In a burglary on April 9, the Doller service lost 26 radio sets worth about $1500. Some of them later were recovered with the arrest of several men suspected of a long series of burglaries and car thefts.
Orange County Stop Proposed By Air Line
The Civil Aeronautics Board has set August 25 as the date on which formal hearings will begin of Southwest Airways' application to extend its present short-haul feeder airline service from Los Angeles to San Diego via five coastal cities.
Southwest proposed that the following cities be included as intermediate points on the new route: Del Mar, Oceanside, Santa Ana - Laguna Beach and Long Beach. A proposed stop at Fullerton was dropped due to lack of plans for improving the local airport, it was announced.
The airline has recently completed the first six months of operation over its present 25-city system,

The market for southern California valencias increased last week but the advance was considerably short of expectations raised in the preceding week. The average for the week moved upward about 18 cents a box to around $2.66, f.o.b. packing house.
Florida oranges advanced during the same week 45 cents a box while the volume of shipments from that state declined. Shipments from Florida were expected to total 960 cars this week and about 840 next week. But even in markets where Florida sales were practically zero the market for California oranges failed to react as favorably as had been hoped.
California shippers seemed disinclined to send fruit to such an unsatisfactory market and shipments were below the week's pro-rate of 1900 cars. In an effort to cure his widow M.

Guessers Say Glenn Hipes To Head Chamber
The seven members of the board of directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce were scheduled to meet this afternoon to reorganize for the coming fiscal year.
On the agenda of the meeting was the election of a president, vice-president and secretary-manager and the naming of committees.
Forecasts in chamber circles early today were that Glenn Hipes would be chosen to succeed Robert J. Rossberg as chamber president. There have been but few deviations from the rule of naming a new president every year.
Members of the board in whose hands rest the destinies of the chamber for the coming year are Frank Belmont, J. B.. Collings, Glenn Hipes, Gilbert Kraemer, Howard Loudon, Oscar Renner and Merle Soden.

Orange Drop Sharply Reduced By Plant Growth Regulator Spray
Plant growth regulators, such as 2,4-D, are best known as selective weed-killers, and for a year or more they have been used in tomato plant sprays to promote early setting of fruit. They may soon be used extensively in citrus sprays.
Tests being carried out in this and other citrus growing districts in southern California indicate that when used in conjunction with oil sprays for pest control, they reduce leaf and fruit drop. They may reduce pre-harvest valencia drop all the way from 27 to 96 per cent.
It has already been established that, used in a proper concentration, the application of a spray of 2,4-D reduced drop of mature fruit even when applied two weeks after a heavy drop was in progress.
It has been indicated, but not yet fully established, that 2,4-D may be effective in reducing Valencia drop even when applied six months before the usual preharvest drop occurs.
At the office of D. W. Tubbs, Orange county agricultural commissioner, emphasis was laid on the fact that these results were produced by tests under carefully controlled conditions. It was pointed out that application of the plant growth regulators under different conditions might produce wholly different and even disastrous results. To growers with an urge for experimentation, it was suggested that tests of 2,4-D or similar preparations, if made at all, be confined to one or two trees.
The Citrus Experiment Station scientists now carrying out these tests are concentrating attention on determining the proper concentration of the material to be applied. Tests have been made on concentrations ranging from five to 40 pounds per million pounds of water. Present indications are they will settle on about eight parts per million, but to growers inclined to experiment they recommend this concentration for limited trial only. This concentration, they have found, reduces preharvest drop from 30 to 65 per cent with no apparent injury to young or mature leaves.
Sprays containing between eight and 25 parts per million of water gave a greater reduction in drop but resulted in various degrees of curling of young "soft" expanding leaves. With continued growth there is a tendency of these leaves to recover their normal shape. It is suggested by the scientists that this slight damage to leaves may be avoided by spraying between growth flushes.
When the 2,4-D is used in conduction with other sprays, the only additional cost is for the material. The cost of 2,4-D in 20,000 gallons of water of an eight parts per million spray is about $1.90. Under average conditions this is enough to cover a ten acre grove.

Death Comes Monday To Wm. G. Gordon
William George Gordon who had been in business in Anaheim for 18 years prior to his retirement last September died Monday afternoon at Anaheim hospital. Funeral services were held yesterday at the Hilgenfeld chapel with Rev. Al. J. Casebeer, pastor of the Anaheim Christian church, officiating. Burial was in Anaheim cemetery.
Born 70 years ago in Kincarden, Canada, Mr. Gordon came to Saginaw, Mich., at the age of 12 and remained there until he was 29 when he brought his family to Los Angeles. From his youth he had been in the leather business and for several years he was a buyer for one of the big leather houses in Los Angeles. Eighteen years ago he acquired a harness and leather business in Anaheim and this city remained his home until his death.
Engineer Urges Prompt Action To Supplement S.A. River Water
Water resources of the Santa Ana river are steadily being overtaxed and to avoid trouble a prompt decision—probably to obtain supplementary Colorado river water—must be made.
Harold Conkling, nationally known consulting engineer, sounds that warning in a report made public by the Santa Ana River Water association.
After studying the water supply from the mountains to the sea, he found the conclusions from his data "are as obvious and definite as the lighthouse which warns the mariner that danger and destruction await him on his present course."
Conkling, who was formerly with the California Division of Water Resources, was retained by the association to make an investigation of the present and prospective use of waters from the Santa Ana river watershed. The association, recently formed, represents a majority of irrigationists in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties who obtain their supply from the river and its underground basins.
Although the overdraft began some years ago, it has been accelerated by the recent rapid growth of the cities in the Santa Ana river watershed, Conkling found. This increased demand has been masked from the public view by a coincident period of years in which rainfall has been above normal.
All signs point to heavy increases in population for a long time, and especially in the next 10 years, the report says. Much settlement can be expected on land that is not now using a significant amount of water.
Agriculture, on the other hand, has been stable in acreage and therefore in water use for some time.

Leaky Pipes Attributed To MWD Water
Anaheim plumbers said this week they were having an unprecedented number of orders for replacement of leaking water service pipes.
The situation is worsened by the fact that pipe of suitable size is difficult to find. One Anaheim plumber said this week that he had 22 orders to replace service pipe which were being held up by his inability to find pipe. Only one of the half dozen plumbers who could be reached said he had no noticeable increase in orders to replace water service pipes.
All of the plumbers who are trying to find pipe to fill replacement orders attributed the spurt in this type of business to corrosive chemicals in Colorado river water. They said the chemicals simply "eat out" the pipe until it begins to leak. One prominent local plumber said that the water the city used to pump also contained corrosive elements, but in addition it carried a considerable amount of lime which tended to seal up leaks etched by the corrosive element. But the chemicals with which Colorado river water is treated tends to dissolve the metal.
Council Urges Tighter Rein On Peddlers
Enforcement of an ordinance calling for a daily license fee of $10 from all solicitors selling door-to-door, street peddling, offering services canvassing for or taking orders, and a daily license fee of $25 from all traveling purveyors of kerosene and fuel by-products was urged by the Anaheim city council in response to complaints of such competition made by Joe Kaska and D. A. Graham, dry cleaning company owners, at the council meeting last night. The ordinance was enacted May 28, 1946.
Total warrants issued by the city from June 1, to 15, totaled $42,510.79.
On a 30-day trial period, the Yellow Cab Company was granted an additional red parking space in front of the Pickwick hotel for daytime use. Daily after 6 p.m., the area is a bus loading zone. Another stall in front of Hockaday and Phillips was okayed for night parking.
Allotment of $1000 of the State Highway fund for improving state highways and streets of main importance was approved for general maintenance work at Rt. 2, 2.20 miles of Romneya Dr. to Vermont Ave., for the last quarter of the fiscal year was approved. The request will be signed by Mayor Charles A. Pearson and City Clerk Charles E. Griffith.
A letter protesting passage of a bill which would regulate hours and vacations of firemen and the employment of additional firemen, was sent to Senator Clyde A. Watson by City Clerk Griffith, who further opposed the handling of local affairs through legislative coincident period of years in which rainfall has been above normal.
All signs point to heavy increases in population for a long time, and especially in the next 10 years, the report says. Much settlement can be expected on land that is not now using a significant amount of water.
Agriculture, on the other hand, has been stable in acreage and therefore in water use for some time!
"Because of the deficiency of water supply discussed in this report" Conkling concludes "an early decision as to plans for the future is needed." He then poses three questions:
1. "Should time be spent in further investigation of possible salvage by construction of reservoirs? Cost would be very large per unit of water salvaged and at the best the amount conserved would be small. It is believed that not one of the reservoirs is feasible but even if some were found to be, their construction would be merely a palliative.
2. "Should the ground water reserves be further depleted before importing water? Importation of water appears to be the only adequate remedy. Colorado river water would be available if a membership in the Metropolitan Water District could be secured."
3. "Can the cost of importing water be equitably and amicably allocated, or must a long period of litigation precede?"
The recent impetus toward industrial development also poses a threat of contamination of the ground water, Conkling says. At present the problem is prevention of detrimental wastes from a few individual industries which are not fully informed of water supply conditions. In the long term, the problem could become serious, he says, and since the laws are inadequate, new legislation is necessary — county, district or state.
Excluded from the investigation were the Chino basin of western San Bernardino county, the Yucaipa-Beaumont area, and the territory from Elsinore to San Jacinto.
In an introduction to the Conkling report, the River Association directors state that water men have long been aware of the limitations of the Santa Ana river supply. They explain that Conkling was engaged to correlate many of the existing reports on

The wild west show will feature Tex Cooper, original Buffalo Bill of the movies; Wilma Standard, Pat North, Rae Beach, trick riders and 2-3-4 Roman Rides, Chief Many Treaties, Blackfoot Indian Chief and his tribal dancers. Also featured is Sam Garrett, world's champion fancy roper, and Jimmy Jackson who is known Pinky the "Piggy" Clown.
They said the chemicals simply "eat out" the pipe until it begins to leak. One prominent local plumber said that the water the city used to pump also contained corrosive elements, but in addition it carried a considerable amount of lime which tended to seal up leaks etched by the corrosive element. But the chemicals with which Colorado river water is treated tends to dissolve the time coating on the inside of the water pipe, he said, and the leaks follow. He said hot water pipes seemed to be more seriously affected than those carrying cold water.
At the office of the superintendent of light, water and power doubt was expressed that there were corrosives in Metropolitan Water District water in sufficient amount to each or pit or disintegrate water pipe. There are a good many old service pipes in the city, it was pointed out, and they cannot last forever. If there has been a significant increase in the number of leaking service pipes, it was said, the fact might be attributed to increased pressure in the water mains which has been stepped up from 40 pounds to 60 pounds per square inch.
A letter protesting passage of a bill which would regulate hours and vacations of firemen and the employment of additional firemen, was sent to Senator Clyde A. Watson by City Clerk Griffith, who further opposed the handling of local affairs through legislative action.
Friday and Saturday, July 4 and 5, were declared holidays for city employees. Clara Goff, city public service department controller, was granted permission to take her vacation July 7 to 28, inclusive, and to leave the state.
A lease to the driveway at the rear of the public library to the bus station, as an entrance for Greyhound and Pacific Electric buses exclusively, was granted to A. N. Thomas, 217 E. Los Angeles street, depot agent and manager.
The council authorized City Engineer E. P. Hapgood, to call for bids for 12-inch sewer pipe for 1948 at La Palma street.
Purchase of three quonset huts, proposed by City Engineer Hapgood, from the War Assets Commission, at $600 each, to house street department equipment at the S. Los Angeles street lot was approved. The 40 by 48 foot structures are at Camp Haan, near Riverside.
An invitation was read from the Board of Supervisors of Orange county to attend the meeting of the board July 1 at 2 p.m., at which time a report on the findings of the Orange county sewerage survey will be given.
Council members and their wives were invited to the Orange County League of Cities meeting Wednesday night (tonight) at 6:46 in Lake Park club house, 11th and Main streets, Huntington Beach.
Excluded from the investigation were the Chino basin of western San Bernardino county, the Yucaipa-Beaumont area, and the territory from Elsinore to San Jacinto.
In an introduction to the Conkling report, the River Association directors state that water men have long been aware of the limitations of the Santa Ana river supply. They explain that Conkling was engaged to correlate many of the existing reports on the Santa Ana river basin as the first step in the association's program to inform the public, and work out some plan to augment the natural water supply.
"Each successive report, culminating in the Conkling study demonstrates that there exists an increasingly dangerous condition of overdraft along the river" they conclude.
"Unified, cooperative action by all the water users in the solution of the water shortage problem is highly desirable."
