P. E. 'Pete' Fluor, one of Anaheim's good citizens, was laid to rest Monday at the untimely age of 52. 'Pete' was a human dynamo, operating a concern practically world-wipe in scope and the hectic war years took a tremendous toll from all who were as close to the very miracles which had to be wrought by our industrial machine to win. The work which his corporation did in furtherance of the synthetic rubber program, the production of high-octane gasoline and in the development of the atomic bomb was enough to kill a dozen ordinary men but 'Pete' took it all in stride and let no one know the price his body had to pay. With all this responsibility upon his shoulders he still found time to enter upon every civic program that needed his help. St. Boniface church, during the war, put on a Sunday breakfast for any and all service men, of any faith, who happened to be in Anaheim. And there, in the role of waiter, you could always find 'Pete' Fluor doing his utmost to make the service man, far away from home, feel that there was someone who cared and appreciated the burdens these boys had to assume. Rev. Henry Gross in his eulogy to 'Pete' on Monday told of an incident which happened on the day before the last Sunday 'Pete' was alive. Father Gross came into the church that Saturday morning and found someone using the vacuum cleaner to get the church Bid To Water Meeting Sounds Ominous Note Dion L. Gardner, secretary of the Orange County Committee on Additional Water Supply, has announced the executive committee will present the latest information available on the county's water situation to committee members and a considerable list of invited guests at a dinner to be held at the Newport Harbor Yacht club the night of October 1. One of the speakers will be Joseph F. Poland, district geologist of the U. S. Geological Survey, who will review the situation along the Orange county coast as brought out in his studies and published in a "Summary Statement of Ground Water Conditions and Saline Contamination Along the Coast of Orange County." Glen Allen, chairman of the executive committee will make a progress report, Consulting Engineer Paul Bailey will make a comparison between ground water conditions of 1945 and the present. Want a Pooch? This One’s French And Only $1.00 Boasting a pair of winning brown eyes, a quick pink tongue and a luxurious coat of black curly hair, is one 10-month old male French sheep dog, needing “some folks.” The former pet of several children, the pup resides now in the animal shelter on North Olive street opposite the General Electric plant. His personality is described by Robert “Bob” Spencer Anaheim pound master, as “friendly and intelligent.” When full grown he will be approximately the size of a doberman pincer, Spencer added. For one dollar ($1.00), the price of a license, the “orphan” can be owned. Call Anaheim 2131 and put in your bid. Service Clubs Hear Of Duties Of Controller Anaheim Kiwanians and Rotarians gained some ideas as to th Rev. Henry Gross in his eulogy to 'Pete' on Monday told of an incident which happened on the day before the last Sunday 'Pete' was alive. Father Gross came into the church that Saturday morning and found someone using the vacuum cleaner to get the church ready for the Sunday services. There was 'Pete' Fluor doing the job, not because he had been asked to, for he had not, but because he simply wanted to serve God. Could any finer thing he said about any man? Anaheim has lost one of its best citizens, but it has been enriched by his love and devotion out of all proportion to what it can ever repay. The egg situation in the United States is badly scrambled. In warehouses there are about 160 million dozen surplus eggs and the number is increasing. In the retail stores supplies of eggs are low and getting lower while prices are high and going higher. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Well, it is. But Uncle Sam can get into more crazy situations than the Marx brothers. The difference is, the Marx brothers get paid for being crazy but Uncle—oh, my! It all started when Congress passed a law guaranteeing support of farm prices for two years after the war. The idea seemed good since it was intended to encourage farmers to grow more food. But when the hens heard about it they began to "give out" in a big way to show their appreciation. Result: eggs by the billions. Meantime, farm operation costs (feed, etc.) were "V-2-in" into the stratosphere taking egg prices with them. With prices so high farmers frequently couldn't sell them—that is, to anybody but Uncle. So, now the "Old Man" is sitting on the biggest egg surplus in history. The law says he can't sell 'em cheap and can't give 'em away. What he needs is an "eggspert" to solve the problem. People who discuss women's bathing suits haven't much to talk about. Field and Home Topics Offered Glen Allen, chairman of the executive committee will make a progress report, Consulting Engineer Paul Bailey will make a comparison between ground water conditions of 1945 and the present time, and Frank Latham, rancher and member of the executive committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, will interpret the findings of the engineers from a layman's viewpoint. Secretary Gardner concludes his dinner announcement with this ominous note: "Due to falling water levels and short supplies, it is becoming imperative for residents of Orange county to become more fully informed of the water situation." Two Terms In Prison Given On Bad Checks Leonard M. Sleipness who was arrested here after cashing a check for $94 which he later was said to have admitted was no good, pleaded guilty in Superior Court last Friday to two bogus check charges and was sentenced to two two-year terms in prison which Judge Kenneth Morrison ordered should be served consecutively. Police said Sleipness told them he cashed checks for two years over most of California while AWOL from the Army. The story he found most successful in persuading reluctant merchants to cash his checks, he told police, was that he was about to be married. Three out of four American farms grow corn. County Insectary Propagating Seven Pest Enemies Sent from Africa In the September issue of The Exchange Pest Control Circular the somewhat startling statement is made that beneficial insects have kept mealybugs under commercial control "except in Orange county where no insectary at present exists." Chief credit for keeping mealybugs, said Tubbs, the brown and green bug, said Tubbs this week, and if there were none in California it would pay to send to Australia, where they were first discovered, for some. But they have fallen far short of the ideal enemy of the mealybugs. In Orange county, said Tubbs, the brown and green So, now the "Old Man" is sitting on the biggest egg surplus in history. The law says he can't sell 'em cheap and can't give 'em away. What he needs is an "eggspert" to solve the problem. People who discuss women's bathing suits haven't much to talk about. Field and Home Topics Offered By Farm Forum Farm matters, in the house and out, will be discussed on the Orange county Farm Forum which broadcasts every day at 12:30 p.m. over station KVOE. Here is next week's program: Monday, Sept. 22—"Cheeses and Their Uses," Mrs. Marian Prentiss, Home Demonstration Agent. Tuesday, Sept. 23—"Killing Weeds with Chemicals," W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor. Wednesday, Sept. 24—"Uses of the Electric Mixer," Mrs. Virginia Peterson, Assistant Home Demonstration Agent.

Marks, Orange County Farm Bureau. Holmson Named To State Junior Chamber Board As member from the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce, Edward H. Holmson will attend this coming weekend his first meeting of the board of directors of the State Junior Chambers of Commerce. The board will meet in Santa Barbara. Holmson was elected the Anaheim Junior chamber's representative on the board last week. In the September issue of The Exchange Pest Control Circular the somewhat startling statement is made that beneficial insects have kept mealybugs under commercial control "except in Orange county where no insectary at present exists." Chief credit for keeping mealybugs under commercial control everywhere except in Orange county is given in the circular to the ladybird Cryptolaemus, "crips" for short. As anyone can discover by driving along East Vermont street, Anaheim, the county does maintain an insectary covering several thousand square feet. Years ago it used to propagate and liberate "crips" by the hundreds of thousands. But it stopped about two decades ago. Chief reason, according to Dixon W. Tubbs, county agricultural commissioner, and Rush Bumgardner, his specialist in beneficial insects, is that releasing more "crips" in Orange county citrus groves would do no good, or at least not enough good to justify the expense. For there are already as many of these ladybirds in county groves as can support themselves on the available supply of mealybugs. They told of two groves under one ownership west of Anaheim in one of which the standard dosage of "crypts" was released this year. None was released in the other about a mile distant. A count was made later by an entomologist from the state department of agriculture who found more "crips" in the grove where none had been released, than in the grove where they had been planted. The "cripts" are undoubtedly of value in keeping down the mealybug, said Tubbs this week, and if there were none in California it would pay to send to Australia, where they were first discovered, for some. But they have fallen far short of the ideal enemy of the mealybugs. In Orange county, said Tubbs, the brown and green lacewings have proved more effective, and a small wasp-like creature which the entomologists call a hymenopterous parasite has also proved of value. But the chief quest of Harold Compere, University of California entomologist who is now in Africa, is for a more effective enemy of the four chief varieties of mealy bug—the citrus, the citrophilus, Baker's and the long-tailed. And if the California Fruit Growers Exchange's pest control bureau doesn't know there is an insectary in Orange county, at least the University of California does and is having the Orange county institution on East Vermont street try out some new insects Compere recently sent back to the States, one of these is Scymnus quadvittatue, a ladybird beetle which feeds on mealybugs. Another is Anagyrus aurantifrons, a mealybug parasite. Three are ladybird beetles which feed on red scale. They are Exicliomus flavifers, Pharascymnus ereguns and Chilocones walbergi. A sixth insect is a large ladybird beetle which feeds on soft scale—Chilo-corus angelensis. All of these at present are being propagated at the insectary but have not yet reached sufficient numbers to be liberated. But a small number of a parasite preying on the orange worm recently was liberated, too recently however to discover if it is going to thrive in this climate.

Legionnaires Send Team, Band To Convention Anaheim Post No. 72 of the American Legion will be represented at the 29th state Legion convention at Los Angeles by ten delegates, the post ritualistic team of ten and the Anaheim Elks band which will participate in the parades and contests. The first big event in Los Angeles will be one of the most spectacular shows ever staged at a Legion convention, to which the public, for the first time, is invited to attend. It will be held at the Coliseum on the night of Sunday, September 21, starting with the finals of the drum and bugle corps contest; the band and majorette contests with entrants from all parts of the state, and ending with a replica of the famous Fourth of July fireworks that thrilled 75,000 spectators this year. There will also be a “Tribute to War Heroes,” presented by Hollywood producers and stars. Seats for this show are being sold in advance to the public. Forecast Better Orange Prices In Near Future California sold more cars of oranges at a slightly lower price last week than in the preceding week. Predictions that a large volume of fruit would be selling at a more satisfactory price level “in the very near future” had not yet come true the first part of this week when prices were slightly lower than at the corresponding time last week. California oranges in interstate transactions averaged about $3.04 last week. This was about 17 cents below the average for the preceding week. As an indication of the trend this week, fancy 176s averaged on the auctions $6.39 a box, delivered, compared to $6.47 at the corresponding time last week; 220s averaged $5 compared to $5.08 last week and 288’s averaged $3.81, delivered, compared to $3.83 a week earlier. Sizes last week ran 65 per cent 252s and smaller. The orange pro- Stores Begin Saturday Night Opening Sept. 27 On and after Saturday, tember 27, Anaheim will Saturday Night town.

This was about 17 cents below the average for the preceding week. As an indication of the trend this week, fancy 176s averaged on the auctions $6.39 a box, delivered, compared to $6.47 at the corresponding time last week; 220s averaged $5 compared to $5.08 last week and 288's averaged $3.81, delivered, compared to $3.83 a week earlier. Sizes last week ran 65 per cent 252s and smaller. The orange prorate this week is 1700 cars and will be the same next week. With moderating weather in most parts of the country lemon volume and price average dropped below the preceding week but still were far below volume and price average for the corresponding time of year in most recent years. California sold somewhat more than 400 cars for an average of about $6.92 a box, f.o.b. This was about 30 cars less than the total sold in the preceding week and the price average was about 75 cents below the average for the preceding week. While there were cool spots in the country last week, the weather generally was favorable for lemon consumption, particularly in the midwest and south. Weather was somewhat cooler early this week but demand continued so good that sales averaged higher than at the corresponding time last week. Fancy brands in the 360 size averaged $9.80 a box, delivered, compared to $8.75 on the same day of last week and 432s averaged $9.45, compared to $8.80 last week. There were many sales at auction early this week at $11 a box and higher, delivered. This week's prorate is 300 cars, compared to a three-year average of 222 cars. Italian lemons are re-appearing in the picture according to a report from Toronto of a quotation of $5.85 delivered on shipments to move about October 1. Additional competition to California lemons is an estimated 300 car lemon crop from Texas, shipments of which are already moving in light volume. 300 Expected To Compete in Air Circus Sunday At the rate entries are coming in by mail for the first annual flying circus sponsored by the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Com- The merchants heard W Huber's report on progress plans for Christmas decorations of down town Anaheim and proved his selection of two items to be added to the six decorations. Schools Gain 188 Pupils Over Last Year Anaheim elementary school opened Monday with a total enrollment of 1591 pupils. This a gain of 188 over the first enrollment last year and 101 more than the enrollment when she ended last June. Enrollment in kindergarten totaled 246, a gain of 60 over year's total of 186. The increase however, was pretty well debated through all grades, acceding to Superintendent Mel Gill. This was fortunate, he added cause it made possible the accomodation of the increased number of pupils. But it was a tight fit. "We couldn't take it of that many more," he said. Next to the kindergarten biggest gain in enrollment w Fremont school where 327 en- the first day, compared to 277 first day last year. George Wington school scored the next gest gain.

Cost of the project for district two has been estimated at approximately six million dollars. The board recommended that its members make themselves thoroughly familiar with the county water situation and have it as the first order of business at the next meeting. $1,500,000 Added To Freeway Budget The State Highway Commission has budgeted an additional $1,500,-000 for work on the freeway which will extend from Los Angeles through the western edge of Anaheim to a point between Santa Ana and Tustin. This was announced last weekend by Commissioner Harrison Baker. Construction and grading at the Los Angeles city end of the high speed highway has been in progress for several months and it has been promised that a portion will be opened to traffic before the end of this year. Work is progressing on grades, overpasses and bridges from a point on the Los Angeles river to Indiana street. Eventually the limited access road will be extended southeasterly to Norwalk and thence generally follow Manchester boulevard to its terminus. Kitchen's Model Plane Speediest At Legion Meet The tiny racing plane of Joe Kitchens of the Anaheim Bolsa Butchers model airplane club flashed around the course at the American Legion's national model airplane meet at Indianapolis, Ind., last midweek at the rate of 133.3 miles per hour and won him the speed championship of the meet. Frank L. Cummings of Los Angeles won first prize and his club piled up the highest total points in the 40 events. 300 Expected To Compete in Air Circus Sunday At the rate entries are coming in by mail for the first annual flying circus sponsored by the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce, Rex Bruhns who is committee chairman in charge of the event expects at least 300 model plane builders to compete for the $1000 in trophies and prizes at La Palma Park next Sunday. The Marine Corps will be represented by about 30 and the San Diego naval training station has promised to release all men there who wish to compete. "Al" Allen and Joe Kitchens who have just returned from the national American Legion model plane meet at Indianapolis, Ind. with five cups, brought news that 14 who competed in Indianapolis expected to enter the Anaheim show. A delegation from Tucson, Ariz., also is expected. Fresno, San Francisco and other northern points were yet to be heard from at mid-week. Competition will begin at 8 a.m., but the best flights are expected to occur from noon onward to the close of the competition. Rainfall Totals One-Tenth Inch It looked like more than that on an automobile windshield and it didn't look like as much as that on a dry field, but a series of brief showers Tuesday night and Wednesday morning amounted to one-tenth of an inch according to the Association Laboratory's rain gauge.

The fair is under the direction of the Orange county board of supervisors, but it is financed from the state's fair and exposition fund. Four big tents have been pitched in the park and into them trucks and trailers from all over southern California have been discharging their loads of cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and rabbits. Judging in two rings was scheduled to start at 4 p.m. today, beginning with 4-H club and Future Farmers of America beef cattle in which class there is more competition than in any other division of the fair. Judging will continue from 4 to 6 and from 8 to 10 Thursday and Friday. Grand championship awards will be made after the judging of the showmanship classes Friday and a fat stock sale will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday with Tex Condon of Los Angeles Union Stock Yards as auctioneer. Since almost every animal in the fair represents months of careful feeding and grooming by the young owners scores of the boys are staying at the fair grounds night and day to see that their stock stays in top condition. Helicopter Mail Service Plans Seem Up in Air Postmaster Louis H. Hoskins said he was as ignorant as anyone about plans and prospects for air mail service to Anaheim and Orange county which several weeks ago was promised by about October 1. A week ago it seemed pretty certain that service by helicopter to towns surrounding Los Angeles, including Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana, would begin about October 16. Since then several conflicting reports have come out of Los Angeles. Some of the stories from apparently authoritative Garden Grove Cooperative Pleased with Machine for Packing in Bags While all Orange county orange houses affiliated with MuOrange Distributors are bag-fruit, all of them depend on labor except Garden Groveoperative, Inc., where bagging now done mostly by automaticinery. It is a pilot assembly driven by Brogdex. Manager David Crooke of the Garden Grove plant this week expressed tolerable satisfaction with its performance. In the few weeks it seen on trial it has materially reduced the cost of bagging the fruit he said. The Garden Grove house bags of all sizes, but its aim is to cater to the consumer at least two pounds of fruit in each bag. Crooke says his reports from eastern markets indicate the fruit has had excellent re-ion from the consumers. The Garden Grove Cooperative set-up oranges of any size are fed by a special conveyor from regular production line to the packing units. The fruit is distributed on an especially Brogdexed sizer-conveyor and is eventually dropped through an Ahlberg bagger. Fourteen of these Ahlberg baggers are attached to the unit, and each automatically weighs the fruit. Oranges not dropping into bags the first time around roll through a chute onto a lower conveyor which takes them up to the original sizer-conveyor and they roll toward the bagging units again. After the bag is full, the packer hangs it on a hook on an overhead trolley which carries it to a stapling machine. When stapled the bags are dropped onto another belt-conveyor from which they are placed into bins according to fruit size. At the back of the bins a roller-conveyor brings up a wire-bound container in which the bags are placed for shipment. Crooke is in receipt of a letter from an eastern buyer for 3,000 stores in metropolitan New York to the effect that bagged oranges have been arriving in perfect condition. For several successive days recently six cars a day were delivered to New York City from Garden Grove. A week ago it seemed pretty certain that service by helicopter to towns surrounding Los Angeles, including Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana, would begin about October 16. Since then several conflicting reports have come out of Los Angeles. Some of the stories from apparently authoritative sources indicated the service as originally planned would be inaugurated with a few "dry runs" (without mail) after the first of next month. There were other reports that the first runs would be made to towns north and east of Los Angeles, leaving out Orange county. Still other published reports said one run a day might get as far in this direction as Fullerton. If the Postoffice Department has made any arrangements for landing facilities in Anaheim Postmaster Hoskins didn't know anything about it at midweek. D. L.
