COLONY QUIPS At least, with all of our foreign aid programs, we get a bit of free advice on occasion and this bit we heard from an entirely unexpected source. Radio Moscow in an English language broadcast a few days ago advised the U.S. voters to form a third party—your guess is as good as our as to who should be the leader. Russia, of course, has only one party but they think we ought to have not two but three. Well anyone who wants it is welcome—and should be glad they live in America for they are free to join a third or even a fourth party and live. Over in the Soviet they belong to the only party or else they don't live to talk about another. The Democrats can't say the Republicans put the Russians up to this one. In selling our oranges to eastern consumers we pass up one of the most intriguing, romantic and dreamed about names that we could put on them. A name with the largest sales appeal that any huckster could think up in a lifetime of trying. A name that would make anything more edible and an orange that, when eaten, will surpass anything grown anywhere in the United States. The golden, glorious name of the state in which they were grown, California. A hard headed business man of our acquaintance was in the east with some time on his hands and as he is an orange grower on the side, deriving his living out of a business in the heart of the Finalists Clash for Championship Tonight in Legion Junior Tournament Teams representing American Legion posts in Huntington Park and La Verne-San Dimas are the finalists in the Tri-State American Legion Junior baseball tournament which has been in progress at La Palma park since August 4. They will meet to decide the championship at La Palma park tonight. The winner will be presented a gold trophy by Tanis Chandler, glamorous French-born actress, and will leave directly after the game for an exhibition game at Tucson, Ariz. Huntington Park's team fought its way into the final clash by defeating San Gabriel and La Verne-San Dimas became a championship contender by conquering Teddy's Rough Riders of Los Angeles. Forty-six teams sponsored by American Legion posts in 33 cities and towns in California, Arizona and Nevada have participated in the tournament and the daily games have been witnessed by crowds ranging from 500 to 2000. huckster could think up in a lifetime of trying. A name that would make anything more edible and an orange that, when eaten, will surpass anything grown anywhere in the United States. The golden, glorious name of the state in which they were grown, California. A hard headed business man of our acquaintance was in the east with some time on his hands and as he is an orange grower on the side, deriving his living out of a business in the heart of the citrus belt, he started out to make a survey of what the people, especially the kids, thought of our California grown oranges. To his amazement he found that many people were buying oranges thinking they were grown in California when, in fact, they were from an eastern seaboard state. They did not eat well nor taste well, at least to some of the kids and their mothers had decided to buy no more oranges, period. This man had a Florida orange in his pocket which he showed to the kids and they said yes that was the kind they had decided to buy no more of. He then produced a sack of California oranges he had just purchased and passed them around asking the kids, who were in the midst of a ball game, to try this kind which were really from California. The results were amazing and the kids wanted more. They also wanted to know where he got them and how they could tell a California orange from one grown elsewhere. This story is just one example of what happened to this one man and the same thing happened every time he brought the subject up in his travels over half a dozen states. What if every orange shipped out of the state had printed "California Grown" upon it, with an advertising campaign to back the slogan up and invite the people to try California fruit this time. The regular brand names 'Sunkist' or 'Pure Gold' could also go on but the one which told of the fruits definite origin should go on every one no matter by whom shipped. This would add no expense to any shipper and no eastern merchant could sell inferior fruit by telling his customer it was grown here when it came from elsewhere. How about 'Grown in Orange County, California.' We think it is one of the finest merchandising ideas we have heard in a long time if not the best ever. One of the best things about it is that the fruit San Clemente Argues About Gambling Law San Clemente was in an emotional state this week over a proposal that the city council amend an ordinance so as to permit card games at the San Clemente Casino. Chief proponent was Max J. Liepertz, manager of the casino, who announced he hoped to operate a card room with 25 to 30 tables. Many leading citizens spoke in opposition to the proposal at a mass meeting held Monday night. A letter from Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine, commanding general of the First Marine division at nearby Camp Pendleton was read at the meeting, saying the card room would be "not beneficial to Camp Pendleton." Among speakers opposing the measure was Sheriff James Musick. Parked in a flourishing trailer camp west of Corona was one lone motor boat mounted on wheels, viewed Sunday. In addition to its incongruous surroundings, the craft had been christened "Fanta Sea." The gold trophy to be awarded the winning team in the second annual Tri-State American Legion Junior Baseball Tournament, which closes Friday, August 22 at La Palma Park, Anaheim, will be presented by Tanis Chandler (above), It's Back To School in 18 More Days Hide this from your kids, if you do not wish to depress them prematurely. But you might like to be warned that it is only 17 more days until you have to have them ready to go to school—if they are attending Anaheim Union high school. If they are in Anaheim primary schools, you have an additional week. September 8 is the day set aside for registration at Anaheim Union high school. The following day is Admission Day, a legal holiday in California. Regular classes begin for instruction of our young men and women of tomorrow on September 10. The Anaheim city schools will open for classes on September 15 with fewer new teachers than usual. The decline in teacher turnover is widely attributed to the more nearly adequate salaries made possible under new laws adopted by referendum last fall. There will be a break in school routine on November 10 which is teacher institute day. And November 11, is still Armistice day Growers Say Softened MWD Water Is Detrimental to Some Plants Anaheim growers of flowers, fruits, vegetables, grains and other flora seemed disposed this week to take no part in the hot controversy between Julian Hinds, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District and Prof. Fritz W. Wentz of California Institute of Technology as to whether there is more or less salt in the softened water supplied to southern California communities by the Metropolitan Water District. The growers The Gazette was able to reach weren't sure whether the softening process employed by the district increased the salts in the water, as Prof. Wentz asserted, or whether it didn't, as General Manager Hinds stoutly maintained. They were pretty generally agreed, however, that the water they have been getting out of Anaheim city water pipes the past year or more is more or less detrimental to plants which like an acid soil. It is pretty tough, most of them said, on fuchsias and ferns. It is also definitely detrimental, practically all of them agreed, to azaleas, tuberous begonias and potted camellias. There was also a noticeably bad effect, most of them said, on garden-grown camellias and daphne. No grower complained of the effects of the water on plants thriving on a higher pH. But strictly scientific plant growers—who, incidentally, have a high respect for Prof. Wentz—pointed out a period of a few years was hardly long enough to judge the long-time effect of water containing a concentration of salts upon soil. The matter of the salts content of the softened MWD water is of immense practical importance to Orange county, since there is widespread conviction that Orange county eventually will be forced to supplement its present water supply with water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District. The question to be determined meantime is whether the untreated Colorado river water, or the softened water is least detrimental to plant growth. ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD AHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1947 Championship Tournament Boom Prices Continue In Lemon Market Lemons sold last week through regular trade channels in interstate commerce for the almost fantastic average of more than $9.50 a box, f.o.b. packing house. This was about $2.80 more than last week's high average and about $6.25 a box more than the average for the corresponding week last year. The average was even higher than was good for the industry, its leaders were beginning to believe. While the hot weather was mostly unabated in the middle west, east and south, the high prices were beginning to scare away consumers and there was a marked reduction in sales volume. Some attributed reduced volume through regular channels to a great increase in truck shipments from Los Angeles as far east as Omaha and Kansas City. These lemons were bought in the prorate-free Los Angeles market. Burglar Unpaid For Night’s Work And Danger Someone, whose identity the police would like to establish, climbed a power pole behind the Cone Brothers Chevrolet Agency, 215 North Los Angeles street, Tuesday night or early Wednesday, walked over to a skylight and dropped into the building, trundled the safe from the office to the wash room and proceeded to open it with an acetylene torch. For all this labor, to say nothing of the risks involved, he or they weren’t paid a cent. The safe contained no cash. The burglary was discovered when Jess Morrison, mechanic, arrived at the garage shortly after 6 a.m. Lt. Taylor of the police department said the burglary had some aspects of a professional job and others indicating it was the work of an amateur. MWD Announces 27 Per Cent Cut In New Trucks Col. R. E.

While the hot weather was mostly unabated in the middle west, east and south, the high prices were beginning to scare away consumers and there was a marked reduction in sales volume. Some attributed reduced volume through regular channels to a great increase in truck shipments from Los Angeles as far east as Omaha and Kansas City. These lemons were bought in the prorate-free Los Angeles market and were believed to be shipped in violation of the Federal Marketing Agreement. The government was said to be investigating. Packers were warned by marketing agencies not to let the present boom prices tempt them to ship undesirable grades and sizes. It is necessary to consider consumer good will, it was explained, because there were still twice as many lemons in storage on August 1 as were sold last year after August 1 to the end of the season. Lemon sales early this week showed only slight recessions from last week's high prices and the smallest sizes—490s and 588s—averaged even higher than at the corresponding time last week. Fancy 490s averaged 10.85 on the auctions, compared to $9.55 a box last midweek and 588s averaged $10.50, delivered. The average a week earlier for that size and grade was $7.65. The volume of valencia sales was up last week compared with the preceding week and the price average was about 36 cents a box less, owing, it was believed, to the high percentage of small sizes. Last week's shipments contained 42 per cent of 288s and 344s. Quality of the fruit going to market is exceptionally high. One authority declared the juice of the smaller oranges "is the finest we have ever tasted." The average price in interstate sales last week was $3.60 a box f.o.b. compared to $4.55 for the corresponding week last year, $3.33 in 1945 and $4.37 in 1944. Sales in the first half of this week showed a higher average for 200s and larger and lower for 220s and smaller. The valencia prorate for this and next week called for shipment of 1800 cars each week. The lemon prorate for last week was 550 cars and this week, 500 cars. It was estimated that the half way mark in valencia shipments would be passed this week. MWD Announces 27 Per Cent Cut In New Tax Rate The Metropolitan Water District board of directors announced this week a reduction of 13 cents in the district tax rate for the coming year. The 1946-47 rate was 48 cents on the $100 of assessed value and the new rate is 35 cents, a reduction of 27 per cent. This reduction will not be reflected in the tax rate of the City of Anaheim, but will show up in the 1947-48 tax bills sent Anaheim property owners by the county which is the tax collecting agency for the water district. Of the total 35 cent rate Controller James M. Luney said 29 cents will be used to meet interest and principal payments of the $190,000,000 in bonds that were sold to build the 410-mile-long metropolitan aqueduct. Six cents will be used to meet government and other debt charges and operation and maintenance of the system. (In Coastal Municipal Water District in this county the operation and maintenance charge will be 7 cents). The marked reduction in the Metropolitan Water District tax rate, Luney explained, was made possible by three causes. They are (1) an increase in the assessed valuation of secured and unsecured property in the district cities as set up this year by the county assessors, (2) the annexation last November of the San Diego County Water Authority which added $266,000,000 to the assessed valuation of district areas, (3) a marked increase in the sale of softened Colorado river water to the cities within the Metropolitan Water District. The San Diego County Water Authority adds these cities and districts to the Metropolitan Water District: San Diego, National City, Chula Vista, Oceanside, the La Mesa, Lemon Grove, and Spring Valley Irrigation district; the Lakeside Irrigation district; and the Fallbrook Public Will District.

Smith performed meritorious service at Bizerte, Tunisia, from May to October, 1943, as commanding officer General Depot No. 6, the major supply installation of Eastern Base Section, North Africa Theatre of Operations. Colonel Smith, by extremely energetic and inspiring leadership, efficient operation, determination and ingenuity, supplied and equipped the Forces of the United States and those of our Allies in preparation for the assault upon Sicily and the Italian mainland at a time when the grossly inadequate transportation system, recurrent enemy air raids, and insufficient personnel necessitated long and hard hours of work for an extended period of time." After the formal ceremony, Colonel Smith and Mrs. Smith, who accompanied him, attended a reception and luncheon for Gen. Clark at the officers' club at Fort MacArthur. Prosecution Rests Case In Overell Trial After 13 weeks of trial this prosecution in the case of Buela Louise Overell and George Golium, charged with the murder of the girl's parents, Mr. and Mrs Walter E. Overell, rested its case Tuesday. Special Prosecutor Eugene D Williams announced he had completed presentation of evidence few minutes after the jury had finished reading the jail correspondence between the youthful pair which the trial judge, Kenneth E. Morrison, decided was unsuitable for public presentation. It was indicated most of the rest of the week would be occupied by arguments on defense motion to strike out portions of the testimony presented by Williams and that this probably would be followed by motions for dismissal of the charges. In the event those motions are denied, it was estimated by defense attorneys that presentation of their case would occupy about four weeks. The excavations of Pompeii Water District For Cypress Is Considered Cypress, which now depends on the Southern California Water Company for its water supply, is considering the possibility of forming a county water district to supply the community. The Southern California Water Company has promised a new pump at the present well site and a new well to be drilled within the year. But the opinion was expressed at the last meeting of the Cypress Chamber of Commerce that even when this program is carried out the water supply and pressure would still be inadequate. After hearing Irvine F. Germain, superintendent of the Garden Grove Water District, tell of the steps taken to form a county water district there and the success of the undertaking, a motion was passed directing the chamber's water committee, composed of A. E. Arnold, Fred Mackay, Dan Mackay, Thomas Cleek and Arnold Holborrow, to obtain the necessary information on how to form a county water district, recommend the tentative boundaries and estimate the size of the bond issue that would be neces- City Planners Approve Two Zone Changes Two petitions for changes of zoning and three for variances were approved by the City Planning Commission at its meeting Monday. The region of Manchester boulevard and Thalia streets under the commission's recommendation would be changed from a single family dwelling zone to manufacturing. The same change was recommended for the block bounded by Santa Ana, Kroeger, Water and Olive streets. Ethel Rice petitioned for a variance to conduct a poultry and egg business at 326 South East street. Peter Arage petitioned for a variance for a motel at 1134-38 North Los Angeles street. Paul L.

The facts were presented by Dr. H. R. Wellman, chief of the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural economics of the University of California; Harold Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, and J. W. Crill, of Garden Grove, chairman of the subtropical fruit and vegetable section of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Wahlberg fascinated the growers by exhibiting a table showing what the ultimate consumer paid for last year's valencia crop of one unidentified grower in the Anaheim district who owns a 10-acre grove. The crop amounted to 2220 packed boxes for which the consumers in Minneapolis paid a total of $19,000, or $8.56 a box. Of this total the retailer took $2.56 a box, or a total of $5683. The $1.37 a box, so the grower netted an average of $3.43. Thus the on-tree value of the 1946 crop was $68,501. Experience has shown, Dr. Wellman said, that returns drop 25 cents a box for each additional million boxes of oranges sent to market. Thus if 1946 shipments had totaled 22 million boxes, the f.o.b. average would have been $4.28, the grower's net $2.92 a box and the on-tree value of the crop would have been reduced to $64,020,000. If shipments had reached 25 million boxes the on-tree value of the crop would have been reduced to $49,400, and if shipments had amounted to 30 million boxes the on-tree value of the crop would have been reduced to $26,400. "I know of no economic law which requires consumers to buy all the oranges we can produce at a profit to the growers," said Dr. Wellman by way of comment on his table. He said he knew of no industry Wahlberg fascinated the growers by exhibiting a table showing what the ultimate consumer paid for last year's valencia crop of one unidentified grower in the Anaheim district who owns a 10-acre grove. The crop amounted to 2220 packed boxes for which the consumers in Minneapolis paid a total of $19,000, or $8.56 a box. Of this total the retailer took $2.56 a box, or a total of $5683. The jobber who sold the fruit to the retailer took a profit of $1176. Transportation averaged 98 cents a box, or a total of $2165.60. The cooperative agency which sold the fruit received $355 for its efforts. Packing cost $1709. Picking and hauling added $710 more to the cost and the grower received a gross of $6482. Cultural costs were figured at $1.35 a box or almost $3000. Thus the grower's net was slightly under $3500. Dr. Wellman discussed eight factors which influence orange prices, but the chief one is volume of shipments, he said. In illustration he displayed a table showing actual shipments of summer oranges in the 1946 season and what they brought the growers. Shipments totaled 19,971,000 boxes which sold for an average of $4.80 a box, f.o.b. Picking, hauling and packing costs averaged Wade Parker Found Dead In Hotel Room W. Wade Parker, well known Anaheim restaurant man, was found dead Wednesday in a room he had occupied for the past forty-night at a local hotel. An autopsy held Wednesday evening disclosed certain conditions however, an investigation is impending, due to laboratory analysis. It is reported that several days before his death he had called a doctor since he was ill at that time. Parker, who established the Parker House Cafe, one of Anaheim's well known eating places, and Mrs. Parker had conducted the Dorothy-Wade restaurant at 1418 East Center street for the past several years. Besides the widow, Dorothy M. Parker; survivors include his mother, Mrs. Nellie G. Parker of "I know of no economic law which requires consumers to buy all the oranges we can produce at a profit to the growers," said Dr. Wellman by way of comment on his table. He said he knew of no industry which had increased consumption of its products as spectacularly as the summer orange industry and added that 20 years ago he would have regarded the possibility of selling as many oranges as are sold today as utterly fantastic. He warned, however, that consumption in the past few years has not risen at the rate it rose in the 1920's and early 30's. Dr. Wellman said one factor influencing the price of oranges was the marketing margin, and Crill told of one step recently taken by his department of the American Farm Bureau Federation in an effort to reduce the spread between what the grower receives and what the consumer pays. After pointing out that while valencia growers up to the first of July had been receiving one cent a pound for their fruit, consumers had been paying from 8 to 14 cents a pound, he told of a letter sent by his committee to 27,000 retailers, jobbers and organizations concerned with the selling of fruits and vegetables. In this letter it was urged that not only growers and consumers, but the trade itself would benefit by a more flexible pricing policy. This appeared to be a tactful way of saying that low prices paid to growers ought to be more promptly reflected in lowered prices to consumers. Thus sales volume would be increased, fresher stocks could be offered the public and increased sales would result in increased profits for everyone concerned. Dr. F. H. Houck, Retired Dentist, Dies Wednesday Death Wednesday ended the career of Dr. Frederick H. Houck, a resident of Anaheim since 1898. For a great number of years, he was a dentist and is well known to many of the residents of Anaheim and Orange County.

Circulation per card holder during the year just ended was 18 compared to 12 last year. Commenting on the year’s activities, the librarian said: “The year was especially marked by the great amount of reference work done for junior college students, particularly veterans, who made use of the facilities of their home library to complete their accelerated educational program. The reading trend was largely nonfiction. It was a great satisfaction to the librarian that the reading of worthwhile books was steadily increasing. Prospects of having better and more books on the market, due to the lessening of restrictions on paper, will enable the library to have more books and magazines to supply Anaheim’s growing demands.” Secretary E. E. Smith reported library receipts for the year were $33,798.18 and expenditures were $24,182.98. Its balance on hand was $9615.20. Dr. F. H.
