COLONY QUIPS Heard a little repartee between a newly arrived French girl and an aunt of her’s who had lived in America for some years. The aunt asked what her first impressions were of America and how things had been in France. The girl replied that first the Germans had 'liberated' them and they had to heil Hitler. Then the Russians had 'liberated' them and they had to heil Stalin. She added her own sentiments were to heil with all of them. Upon what she thought of America: 'It is wonderful. I have put in for my citizenship papers and have my first ones. Next I will get my second papers and then I will be ready for unemployment insurance.' It's just a gag. California's Democrats for Truman are viewing with alarm the Fresno gathering for 'Bob' Kenny's faction of Wallace Democrats who are fighting reaction. That last word should probably be spelled with a capital. To counter this heresy the Truman Democratic Committee has been formed in Los Angeles. Bill Rogers, Jr., last fall's candidate for U. S. Senator who recently broke with State Chairman James Roosevelt over foreign policy, Frederick Dockweiler, L. A. attorney and member of the State Democratic Central Committee and Frank Scriven, L. A. 'insurance broker and state commander of AMVETS are Elks’ Prize Songsters To Greet Lewis A feature added this week to the program for the public reception to be given Tuesday evening at Anaheim City Park to L. A. (Fay) Lewis, newly elected Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, is a group of songs by the Santa Ana Elks double quartet which won first honors at the recent Elks national convention in Portland, Ore., it was announced by Ross Lee Laird, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair. Already on the program were brief addresses by Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim, Mayor Verne Wilkinson of Fullerton, Judge Franklin G. West, Willard Smith, chairman of the county board of supervisors; Rev. A. J. Casebeer, representing the Anaheim Ministerial association; Michael Shannon of Los Angeles, former Grand Exalted Ruler, and Councilman Orge Howing. Council Denies Two Requests For Variances The city council continued at its meeting Tuesday night to take a stiffer attitude than the city planning commission to grant variances from zoning restrictions. The application of Walter R Ward for a variance for a service station at the corner of Placentia avenue and the Anaheim-Olive road which had been approved by the planning commission was denied by the council. An application of Roy J. Rowe for a variance to enable him to conduct a photo supply business at 702 South Palm, approved by the planning commission, also was denied. The ordinance making it illegal to consume intoxicants on any public street, sidewalk, alley, park, public or private parking lot or within 200 feet of any dance hall, given a first reading. It looks to us as if the Democratic party in California is getting ready for a good old rough and tumble. That is the way they always seem to like the going. Both factions are urging the ideals of Jefferson and Jackson and a continuation of the policies of Wilson and Roosevelt. Seems to us that there is a program broad enough for almost anyone—even a lot of Republicans. Much too early now to know what will happen next year, but this is sure: if Kenny's group promotes a third party deal with Wallace the candidate then California will go for the Republican candidate the easy way and with no work demanded from the GOP high command. With an orange market that was going the only way it could go, up, the natural thing for the juice fruit to do was take the same route. So that fruit is now bringing $25 a ton and has forced the canners to withdraw their quotes and refigure. The canners thought that the early $20 figure would hold and naturally they do not like the increase. The fact remains, however, that if the grower does not get more for his juice fruit than it costs to pick and handle it then the best thing for the grower is to plow it back under or dump it in the river. Just because the canning industry as a whole has not done a good enough selling job is no reason for the grower to allow juice that has returned him nothing to appear on the market in competition with his fresh fruit. The canners have done a splendid work in putting a good grade of canned juice on the market. Many people, and a lot who should know, have said that the California juice is much superior to the Florida. If this is only partly true then the selling job has been pitiful. Bet that Candidate Harry Tru Lee Laird, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair. Already on the program were brief addresses by Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim, Mayor Verne Wilkinson of Fullerton, Judge Franklin G. West, Willard Smith, chairman of the county board of supervisors; Rev. A. J. Casebeer, representing the Anaheim Ministerial association; Michael Shannon of Los Angeles, former Grand Exalted Ruler, and Councilman Oscar Heying, a long-time friend of the new Grand Exalted Ruler. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis will be met at the Orange county line on U.S. Highway 101 by a reception committee and a motorcycle escort. At the park they will be met by an American Legion color guard and escorted to the stage of the Greek theatre to music by the Elks Band. Besides Laird, members of the committee in charge of the affair are Judge John Shea, Donald C. Jones of Fullerton, Dave Proud and Howard Loudon. The committee expects an overflow crowd from Elk lodges all over southern California to hear the first public utterance of the new Grand Exalted Ruler. The program will be broadcast. Howser Asks Rehearing In Tidelands Case California's fight to retain 3000 square miles of tidelands was continued when Attorney General Fred N. Howser filed a petition for a rehearing which attacks the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court. Asking either that the court's opinion be reversed or the case set for further argument, the petition declares: "If this decision should stand, no one today could foretell the extent to which future Federal administrations may go in asserting the right to expropriate private property and property rights on the vague concept of 'national power.'" The petition recites that the tidelands case was submitted to and decided by the Supreme Court without the examination of factual, historic and legal data by a trial court, with the result that at least six established principles of law were overlooked. The "overlooked" principles set road which had been approved by the planning commission was denied by the council. An application of Roy J. Rowe for a variance to enable him to conduct a photo supply business at 702 South Palm, approved by the planning commission, also was denied. The ordinance making it illegal to consume intoxicants on any public street, sidewalk, alley, park, public or private parking lot or within 200 feet of any dance hall, given a first reading two weeks ago, was passed. Also enacted was an ordinance prohibiting parking between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on any public street in the Anaheim business district bounded by Broadway, Helena, Cypress and Olive streets. The petition was signed by 24 property owners. The Long Beach Veterans Community Band, acknowledged the council's invitation to give a free concert in Anaheim City Park, and announced it would be here the afternoon of August 10. The band consisting of 80 players, is giving a series of free concerts at various southern California parks. A communication from D. P. Ahern, of Long Beach, chairman of the Junior Legion baseball tournament, reminded the city council of the fine time everyone had at last year's tournament held in La Palma park and indicated it would be glad to receive an invitation to use the park for this year's event from August 4 to August 22, exclusive of August 12, 13 and 14 when the Anaheim Valencias will be using the park. The AMVETS who are organizing an Anaheim post advised the concil that they need a meeting place and suggested the council chamber as a suitable place temporarily. The matter was referred to the Chamber of Commerce with a suggestion that it assist the veterans in finding a hall in which to meet. A petition from Anaheim clothes cleaners that the council increase license fees for out of town operators was referred to the city attorney. Mayor Charles Pearson proclaimed August 1 as Army Air Forces Day. And the council pass- Bet that Candidate Harry Truman will be a whole lot more sympathetic with tax reduction in 1948 than President Harry Truman was in 1947. Will even make that 2 to 1. Max Royer paid a call here the other day to give us the information that the MOD is now putting some of their oranges in bags and having very good success. Max is in the Field Service Department of the MOD and his many friends believe he is a credit to that fine old marketing organization. He should know his way around in the orange business having been in it and his father before him, for more years than Max will care to admit. Police Find 3 Licenses On Teen-Age Driver Three police officers responded to a report from the Teen Age Canteen Sunday night that a young man was there from Corona offering to fight all comers. To prove the report correct, the youth promptly offered to fight the policemen. At the station where he was taken after being subdued, officers found among his effects three automobile operator's licenses made out in three different names. Investigation disclosed he was 15 years old. The name on one of the driver's licenses was his true name. City Judge John Shea ruled the juvenile court should decide what to do with the boy. The "overlooked" principles set forth in the petition are: 1. Constitutional grants to the national government do not carry with them a yielding of property rights. 2. Prior rejection by the court of the contention that federal ownership of the beds of tidelands waters was essential to full control over external affairs. 3. The rule that territory can only be annexed or acquired by congressional action. 4. The rule that the original states and not the federal government own the marginal belt along their coasts. 5. The principle that a rule of property law on the faith of which innumerable titles have vested should not be rejected. 6. The decision has deprived California of its sovereignty and relegated it to a position of a private individual. More Cars Than Ever Before Now In State Automobile registrations reached an all time high, announced Edgar E. Lampton, when on May 31 of this year 3,458,738 motor vehicles had been registered. With the year still young, there are 8,641 more vehicles registered in California than for any previous year. Director Lampton said a record had been established in 1948, when on December 31 3,450,097 vehicles were listed in the department's records. Anaheim’s Picture Photo of Heinz Far Anaheim’s picture of the week is on display in the window of the Betzsold studio. It is a group photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph W. Heinz and their 15 children—seven sons and eight daughters. The photograph was taken to celebrate the first reunion of the family since four Heinz sons and three sons-in-law went away to fight World War II. Mr. and Mrs. Heinz were married in Anaheim in 1914. All of their children were born here and all but one—Joseph W. Heinz, Jr.—still live in Orange county. Nine of the 15 live at the big, comfortable ranch home at 1224 North Palm street, which has been the family home for the past 25 years. In the order of their birth ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1947 Council Denies Requests Variances city council continued at its Tuesday night to take a attitude than the city plan-mission to granting var-room zoning restrictions. Application of Walter R. by a variance for a service at the corner of Placentia and the Anaheim-Olive which had been approved by noting commission was de- the council. An applica- tion J. Rowe for a variance him to conduct a photo business at 702 South approved by the planning on, also was denied. Espee Strike Booms Business Here for U.P. A strike of its locomotive engineers tied up the Southern Pacific for only six hours and 45 minutes, beginning at 6 p.m. Monday. But the effects of the strike were visible in Anaheim railway yards from early Monday until yesterday. When it became virtually certain the strike would be called, all Orange county citrus packing plants depending exclusively on the Southern Pacific railway for transportation ordered cars spotted for them in the Anaheim yards of the Union Pacific company. The packed fruit was trucked from the packing plants to the yards here. Besides the Anaheim houses located on the Southern Pacific line, Anaheim facilities have been used 'extensively by Tustin and Villa Park plants. The result was an increase of an average of 15 cars a day for three days in the Union Pacific company's business. Youth Killed In 'Hot Rod' Crash Here The life of a Buena Park youth was snuffed out at an early hour Wednesday when an automobile in which he was a passenger went out of control as it was rounding the La Palma street turn of Los Angeles street, crashed into a building and turned over. The dead youth was Eugene M. Gilfry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto H. Gilfry of Buena Park. Driver of the car in which he was riding was Ralph E. King, 22, of Fullerton. He suffered only minor injuries. Police reports described the car as a Ford "hot rod." Police said the pair were traveling northward on 101 Highway from a cafe at 101-Manchester boulevard junction. King told them, they said, that he did not know exactly how Corona Del Mar Home Invaded Star Fragment People who keep track such things say there is record of any human ever being killed or injured a falling meteor. The same thorities say the closest anyone has ever had in country was the family own a cow shed, one corner which was struck by a fragment of star stuff. But if a strange piece of metal found in a Corona del Mar home turns out to be what appears now to be, the statistics will have to be revised. Whatever the fragment may be, it sailed into the home E.

An applicability J. Rowe for a variance him to conduct a photo business at 702 South improved by the planning on, also was denied. Finance making it illegal time intoxicants on any reet, sidewalk, alley, park, private parking lot or 100 feet of any dance hall, first reading two weeks passed. Also enacted was once prohibiting parking at 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Ec street in the Anaheim district bounded by Helena, Cypress and sets. Solution adopted by the acknowledgment was receipt of a petition for of a tract approxi5 acres, largely uninbounded by Lincoln and boulevards and Laora the petition was signed by y owners. Bug Beach Veterans Command, acknowledged the invitation to give a free Anaheim City Park, encured it would be here soon of August 10. The listing of 80 players, is series of free concerts at southern California parks. Communication from D. P. Long Beach, chairman Junior Legion baseball unit, reminded the city the fine time everyone year's tournament held ana park and indicated the glad to receive an inuse the park for this event from August 4 to exclusive of August 14 when the Anaheim will be using the park.

The packed fruit was trucked from the packing plants to the yards here. Besides the Anaheim houses located on the Southern Pacific line, Anaheim facilities have been used extensively by Tustin and Villa Park plants. The result was an increase of an average of 15 cars a day for three days in the Union Pacific company's business out of here. All of the diverted business went to the Union Pacific because both that railway and the Southern Pacific use Pacific Fruit Express refrigerator cars. Santa Fe business here was unaffected, since it uses its own Refrigerator Dispatch cars. GOP Women To Meet Tomorrow At Elks Club Reservations had begun this week to reach Mrs. Eva Boyd, Anaheim, for the luncheon which will be a feature of the convention of the Orange County Council of Republican Women scheduled to be held at the Elks club tomorrow (Friday). The convention will be called to order at 11 a.m. by President Dorothy Thompson Lodge. Scheduled are an election of officers to serve for the coming two years and addresses by all members of the Orange county delegation to the state Legislature. Luncheon will be served at 12:30 and for this reservations should be made. Anyone interested is cordially invited to attend. Second Case Of Typhus Found At Yorba Linda Upon reporting to a Los Angeles physician for general checkup, Marcus Yorba, of Yorba Linda was discovered to have a touch of typhus fever. It has not been a serious case, according to the case history and was over the peak at the time of reporting. This is the second case of typhus discovered in Yorba Linda in the past six months, and has the Orange county health department increasing its efforts to catch and check rats in the neighborhood; as typhus is one of the diseases carried by fleas from infected rats. Gilfry, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto H. Gilfry of Buena Park. Driver of the car in which he was riding was Ralph E. King, 22, of Fullerton. He suffered only minor injuries. Police reports described the car as a Ford "hot rod." Police said the pair were traveling northward on 101 Highway from a cafe at 101-Manchester boulevard junction. King told them, they said, that he did not know exactly how fast his car was traveling as it approached the turn, but estimated his speed at 60 miles an hour. Instead of following the pavement around the turn, the car, the report said, struck the pavement, tore a section out of the yet unoccupied Red Rock Cola building and turned upside down. Gilfry was dead when the officers arrived at the scene of the crash. King was taken to Anaheim hospital but released shortly afterward. Besides his parents, young Gilfry is survived by two brothers, Kenneth R. and Dale, and a sister, Mrs. Maxine Morgan, all of Buena Park. The body was taken to the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars funeral establishment awaiting an inquest and funeral arrangements. Sales Promotion Plan Considered By Retailers The retail merchants division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce had under consideration today a plan for stimulating retail business somewhat similar to the device of giving to purchasers of merchandise stamps redeemable in merchandise. Under the plan proposed to the Anaheim merchants, however, the stamps, instead of being redeemable in merchandise, would be good for money in the bank. The plan was presented at a meeting at the Mother Colony House by Larry Lillie and Wade Crosby of Van Nuys. The plan provides for the purchase by merchants from a designated bank specially designed stamps with a face value of one cent each, along with a quantity of "pass books." The pass books are given by the merchant to customers and for each dollar spent at the store the customer receives stamps in a number not yet determined. With his pass Heim’s Picture of Week Is No of Heinz Family of 17 the Heinz children are Clemens, Mrs. Margaret Karcher, Mrs. Alvera Holz, Carl Joseph W., Jr., of Portland, Ore., Mrs. Marie Patin, Mrs. Catherine Holz, John Edward, Ernest, Cecella, Virginia, Raymond and the twins, Lucille and Loretta. At the Betszold studio the Heinz photograph replaces that of the Nich Stehly family which for years had occupied top place as the largest family group ever photographed in the gallery. The Stehly family which lives on Brookhurst avenue includes the parents and thirteen children. Mrs. Mary Betszold who photographed the Heinz family of 17 first photographed it when it consisted only of Mr. and Mrs. Heinz—in their wedding finery. The plan provides for the purchase by merchants from a designated bank specially designed stamps with a face value of one cent each, along with a quantity of "pass books." The pass books are given by the merchant to customers and for each dollar spent at the store the customer receives stamps in a number not yet determined. With his pass book filled with stamps the customer may then go to the participating bank and open a savings account in the amount represented by the face value of his stamps. Lillie and Crosby told the retailers the scheme was inaugurated by them in Van Nuys and had just begun to work beautifully when war interfered. All Alpha Beta Market Employes At Picnic Today It won’t do any good to go to an Alpha Beta market between 12:30 p.m. today and the usual opening time tomorrow. At 12:30 p.m. today the key turns in the lock to the front door and all hands from all departments of all Alpha Beta markets take off for Irvine Park for the annual Alpha Beta picnic.

Valencias Continue This Week Modest Joy Ride Begun Last Week The orange market which took a turn for the better last week continued to climb this week. For the week ending July 19, the average for all sizes and all grades in interstate sales was $2.39, f.o.b. packing house, compared to an average of around $2.23 for the preceding week. As an indication of the rate at which prices were advancing, the average a week ago Monday was $2.24 a box,f.o.b. Last Friday it had risen to $2.63 and Monday's average was $3.03. C. of C. To Go After More Industries An intensified drive to bring additional industries to Anaheim will be launched at a meeting of the industrial committee of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce called by Chairman Robert J. Rossberg for Monday noon at La Palma cafe. A prime objective of the committee is to bring a wider diversity of industries to the community. Fancy 288s, the predominant size this year, averaged $3.76 delivered on Monday's auctions, compared to $2.85 for the preceding Monday. On Tuesday the average for the same size and quality had risen to $4.05, delivered.The auction market responds more quickly to conditions than private sale prices, but quotations have been advanced to what is described as "a satisfactory level."

Rossberg for Monday noon at La Palma cafe. A prime objective of the committee is to bring a wider diversity of industries to the community. Meantime the chamber's executive committee was expected to decide this weekend whether to accept the invitation of the Southern California Industrial Exposition to make a display of Anaheim products at the exposition which will be held from August 16 to 26 at Pan Pacific auditorium, Los Angeles. Anaheim Woman Hurt Friday In Illinois Crash Mrs. Vera A. Newton, manager of the Rose-Marie apartments, 309 West Center street, was one of 33 persons injured Friday night in a four-way collision in Sycamore, Illinois, involving a bus, an auto transport trailer, a grocery truck and an automobile. She was a passenger on the bus. A telegram was received Saturday by Mrs. Edward Binet, owner of the local apartment, saying she was hospitalized but not seriously injured. In a following card, which arrived here Monday, she told Mrs. Binet that she sustained a badly bruised nose, two black eyes and a broken pair of glasses in the crash. After further examination by a specialist, Mrs. Newton expected to continue her journey to Buffalo, New York, with her brother, M. R. Hamilton, of that city who came to meet her in Sycamore. She left Anaheim Tuesday of last week, for a month's vacation. Most of the other persons injured in the collision were released from hospitalization, she stated in her message. Predict Fame For Woman VA Patient-Painter A 62-year old woman war veteran, handicapped from arthritis to the extent that she can use only two fingers of her left hand size this year, averaged $3.76 delivered on Monday's auctions, compared to $2.85 for the preceding Monday. On Tuesday the average for the same size and quality had risen to $4.05, delivered. The auction market responds more quickly to conditions than private sale prices, but quotations have been advanced to what is described as "a satisfactory level." Part of last week's rise was attributed to heavy shipments to Canada to beat an imposition of a 70-cent-a-box duty, but the market proved this week it could go ahead without the support of abnormal buying in Canada. From 30 to 40 per cent of the 1947 valencia crop remains to move to market, but the present price level must be maintained or improved if growers are to receive adequate returns. To date returns for fresh fruit to northern Orange county shippers have been about half the returns to this date last year and returns from juice fruit are about one-third of last year's returns. Lemons in interstate commerce were down an average of 44 cents a box from the preceding week, but still well above the average for the comparable week in the past two seasons. Last week's average was around $5.51 a box, f.o.b. In the corresponding week last year the average was $3.63 a box and in 1945 it was $3.88. Weather conditions last week were generally favorable and demand was fairly active. Supplies in the hands of dealers were light. Unprecedentedly chilly weather in the midwest early this week was expected to depress some markets at least temporarily. Lemon shipments last week totaled 675 cars. The prorate this week was 600 cars. The orange prorate for next week has been stepped up to 1700 cars, compared to 1500 cars for the past few weeks. Same Tax Rate Brings in More Than Before War Each cent of Orange county tax rate for 1946-47 brought in 27 per cent more in county taxes than a cent of county tax rate did in prewar 1941-42. California Taxpayers' association said, making public its study of the effect of increases in assessed values on the productivity of tax rates. Predict Fame For Woman VA Patient-Painter A 62-year old woman war veteran, handicapped from arthritis to the extent that she can use only two fingers of her left hand this week was "discovered" by several California art authorities who hail her as one of the greatest primitive painters of our time. She is Miss Irene Reid, now a patient at Birmingham Veterans Administration hospital, Van Nuys, where her oil paintings this week are causing a stir in the art world amid predictions and prophesies that her work will become famous. Miss Reid has been painting for only five years and never took an art lesson in her life. Normally right handed, she learned to paint with her left. Miss Reid has been a patient in various Veterans Administration hospitals since 1936. Her arthritic condition developed in 1919 while she was a Navy nurse stationed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It gradually became worse until finally she was obliged to spend all of her time under the care of doctors and nurses. ENTOMOLOGY MAN TO ADDRESS CITRUS GROUP Citrus spraying and pest control problems will be discussed during the meeting of the citrus department of the Orange County Farm Bureau tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 o'clock in the farm bureau offices, 353 South Main street, Orange. A. M. Boyce, head of the Division of Entomology, Citrus Experiment Station, will be the speaker. Recognized for his leadership in this field, Boyce is also a dynamic speaker. Refreshments will be served following the meeting, Dean Millen, chairman of the citrus department, announced. May Gas Tax In Small Gain California's gasoline taxes, increased during the closing days of the last legislative session, to 4½ cents per gallon, effective July 1, produced net revenues of $6,399,288 in May when the tax rate was still 3 cents on each gallon. This marked a gain of $231,-545, or 3.75 per cent over the same month of 1946 when the corresponding tax yield was $6,167,743. Please phone your local society or personal news items to the Gazette.
