COLONY QUIPS
With old King Football moving into the stretch and many real 'croocials' coming up it is hard to get anything else into a person's mind. If you can't get steamed up about what is happening on the nation's gridirons these days you had better make a date with Ben Kaulbars. The SC vs. Cal game at Berkeley this Saturday takes stature above all games to be played in the country this week. As an outside hunch we believe this contest will decide who will represent the Pacific Coast in the Rose Bowl. Lynn Waldorf has brought the Bears within smelling distance of glory and all of northern California is fired up to the skys to see their boys go all the way. The Trojans are not in the habit of conceding anything in this game and are going to have to be beaten on the field. The edge in the line must go to Cal as they have more reserves but in the backfield SC is deeper and, from what the boys say, faster. It all bolls down to the fact that either team can win. The Bears are tough in their own back yard even if the field is dry and with Waldorf in charge everything will be in the best of condition. San Francisco's Russ Newland gives Cal the edge but from where we sit it looks like a tossup. May the best team win as the West will need its best against Michigan come Jan. 1, 1948.
America's aged autos are bustin' out all over and the worst is yet to come.
Stiffer Law May Effect Lemon Growers.
Orange county lemon growers are awakening to the fact that the last state legislature completely overhauled the law affecting lemon standards, and are seeking information as to whether the new amendments to the agricultural code will prevent their marketing any material part of their crop.
Word has got around among some of the growers that Ventura county lemon growers "put over a fast one" which would benefit them to the detriment of growers in other lemon districts. Men who are thoroughly familiar with conditions in all parts of the state say that some features of the law will apparently give Ventura county growers and shippers an advantage over Orange county, but that other provisions of the amended act may even the score.
The legislature this year repealed the one short section of the Agricultural Code pertaining to Aggie Nears World Record Field Goal.
With a field goal kicked f his 53 yard line in last S day's game at Baltimore between the Los Angeles D and the Baltimore Colts in All-American professional football league, Ben Agajanian Anaheim broke the All-Amercan league record and fell sh of the world's record kick by scant yard.

America's aged autos are bustin' out all over and the worst is yet to come.
Spare part production, while three times pre-war, just can't keep up with the average eight year old vehicle's troubles, automobile associations report, and new cars aren't being manufactured fast enough to enable motorists to send their old jalopies out to pasture.
Hard-pressed motorists, scrounging through junk yards from one end of the country to the other in a discouraging search for parts, find the auto graveyards thoroughly picked over. And when a needed part is occasionally located the price is generally considerably more than list.
Autoists will just have to keep singing the jallopy blues until production finally satisfies demand. Meanwhile, people that long for the good old days of the horse and buggy, now have an excuse to renew their acquaintance. Except that nowadays, a good horse is hard to find.

fast one" which would benefit them to the detriment of growers in other lemon districts. Men who are thoroughly familiar with conditions in all parts of the state say that some features of the law will apparently give Ventura county growers and shippers an advantage over Orange county, but that other provisions of the amended act may even the score.
The legislature this year repealed the one short section of the Agricultural Code pertaining to lemon standardization and added 15 new provisions to be applied to lemons to determine if they may be marketed.
The first provision is that lemons must be mature and adds that they are mature when they have a juice content of 25 per cent or more of the volume of water the lemon displaces. It was pointed out that this provision might adversely affect Ventura county shippers and growers because of the practice in that county of holding fruit on the trees until some of it has grown large and coarse and consequently deficient in juice.
A provision that it was thought might affect Orange county more seriously than Ventura county is that lemons shall be free from various scale." "Scale," the law continues, "is serious on the individual lemon if each of three circular areas one inch in diameter, selected as the worst infected areas each has 15 or more scales."
It is said that, due to a county-wide red scale control program in Ventura county, red scale infestation is much less serious there than in Orange county.
On the other hand the new law provides that lemons to be offered for sale, must be free from serious bud mite damage and Ventura county lemons are said to be much more seriously damaged by bud mite than fruit in this county, though there is some bud mite (Continued on Page 6)

Hue and Cry Raised For Fleeing Man
An old fashioned hue and cry in the 100 block on busy South Los Angeles street at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday resulted in the capture of a man who gave the police the name of Haden E. Arnett, 85, of Los Angeles. He is being held for a charge of burglary shop-lifting.
The chase began when Mrs. Alberta Patton, co-owner of the Brown & Rinehart home appliance and sewing machine store at 114 East Center street, looked up from a task in the center of the store to see a man going out the front door with a portable sewing machine worth $135. She followed him to Los Angeles and south on that street. Gaining on him, she began saying to him, "Just a minute—" when he set down the machine on the walk and fled through the Leavitt Ford garage to the alley in the rear. Crying, "Stop that man! Stop thief!" Mrs. Patton followed and half a dozen men joined in the pursuit. Two men were no corrigated.
Anaheim Site Acquired For Big Factory
Property has been acquired, architect's plans are being drawn, and planning commission approval has been obtained for a new factory to be located on a ten-acre site in the block bounded by South Olive, Santa Ana, Kroeger and Water streets.
These facts were confirmed this week by E. W. Moeller, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, who said the chamber had been quietly working on the project for months.
The new factory is to be built for Gate-Way, Inc., manufacturer of builders' hardware which now employ 150 workers at its plant at 8213 Compton avenue, Los Angeles.
The new Anaheim factory is to have a floor space of 20,000 square feet. Herman Charles Light, Los Angeles architect who is preparing the plans, has told Moeller the building will be "no corrugated."

Blanche C. Sowder Passes Sunday
Mrs. Blanche C. Sowder beloved wife of Art W. Sowder, passed away at St. Joseph hospital last Sunday following a major operation she underwent several days previous.
Born in Duluth, Minnesota, the deceased had been a resident of Anaheim since 1928 at which time she with her husband bought the Weber Book Store on West Center street. She was active in the management of the business and was well known to their many patrons and business friends. The family home was at 327 North Janss street, this city. She was a member of St. Boniface Catholic church.
Left to mourn her passing other than her husband are three sons, William A. and Thomas D. Sowder of this city, and Marshall Sowder of Santa Monica; one brother, John J. Castillo of Nebraska, and one granddaughter.
Recitation of Holy Rosary was observed at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary chapel Monday evening at 8 o'clock with Mass Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Interment was in Calvary cemetery in Los Angeles.
Nation to Hear This Year's Festival Story
The story of Anaheim's unique Annual Hallowe'en Festival will be told to the widest audience that took up from a task in the center of the store to see a man going out the front door with a portable sewing machine worth $135. She followed him to Los Angeles and south on that street. Gaining on him, she began saying to him, "Just a minute—" when he set down the machine on the walk and fled through the Leavitt Ford garage to the alley in rear. Crying, "Stop that man! Stop thief!" Mrs. Patton followed and half a dozen men joined in the pursuit. Two men passing in a car on Broadway saw the chase and headed off the fugitive. Finally someone in the pursuing crowd came near enough to make a successful tackle. Four men whose name the police had not obtained held the fugitive while the police were called.
The new factory is to be built for Gate-Way, Inc., manufacturer of builders' hardware which now employ 150 workers at its plant at 8213 Compton avenue, Los Angeles.
The new Anaheim factory is to have a floor space of 20,000 square feet. Herman Charles Light, Los Angeles architect who is preparing the plans, has told Moeller the building will be "no corrugated iron affair," but a thoroughly modern; fireproof structure designed inside and out for the most efficient operation of the firm's machinery and other equipment.
The site was chosen by the company's president, Adolf Schopee, who had all but closed a deal for a site in Pomona when Moeller showed him the site here. He dropped his plans for Pomona immediately and began negotiating through the R.L. Rust company with L.P. Nichols and Alex Walker for the property.
The property was zoned for single family dwellings but the city council late last month amended the zoning ordinance to permit manufacturing on the property. Schopee said his power requirements were equivalent to 500 horsepower and the city has assured that would be available here.
Other deciding factors were that both the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe railways pass the site, the plant will be within walking distance for most of the employees and the site offers possibilities for plant expansion. The firm is leaving its present location, Schopee said, because it is intolerably cramped, and expansion is impossible.
Gate-Way features its Kwikset unit lock set, cupboard hinges, sash locks and lifts and screen hangers. Its operations include die casting, punch press work and electric plating.

Nation to Hear This Year’s Festival Story
The story of Anaheim’s unique Annual Hallowe’en Festival will be told to the widest audience that has ever heard it since the fun feast began.
It was broadcast as a vignette in the Associated Press radio Feature “Side Show” last week. The novel Slick Chick contest for teenagers from 13 to 99 years, was highlighted in this coast to coast broadcast.
Next Sunday “Romance of the Ranchos,” heard locally over Columbia’s KNX, will feature the festival at 6 p.m. Sunday’s broadcast will be entitled “Uncle Roberto’s Holiday.” This show, built around the life, color and adventure of California’s early days, is produced by Cliff Howell, former Anaheim high school boy.
Finally, Alyce Canfield, a well known freelance writer who has had articles in a number of national magazines and weeklies, has promised to be present with a cameraman for an illustrated story of the celebration.

State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel has received and declined an offer by President Truman of appointment as a member of the Civil Areonautics Board to succeed Col. Clarence M. Young who resigned from the board recently to become manager of the Los Angeles municipal airport.
In reply to a telephone query from the President whether he might be considered for the appointment, he explained that he was filling a state office to which the people of California had elected him, that he considered the duties of his office important and that under the circumstances he did not consider it proper for him to make the proposed change, he told Anaheim members of his family.
Farm Bureau Group Opposes ‘Hasty Action’ on Proposed Sewer Program
The Orange County Farm Bureau’s tax committee wants more time, and thinks the people of the county should have more time, to study the proposed county wide sewerage program and has announced it will oppose what it terms “hasty action” in forming county sanitary districts.
The committee has announced it does not take exception to the engineering features of the plan, but that it seriously questions the proposed methods for financing the project which will cost an estimated $27,000,000.
An official action of the committee, reports John Gilmore, Anaheim, chairman of the committee, states that any project that will tax the real property and improvements of an area to the extent of one-tenth of its entire assessed valuation merits those study and understanding best vote is taken. Also called attention of the people of county as a whole is the stated that farms cannot expect to connections to the sewer with the 40 years of the program except in a few instances, but be required to pay upon an ed valuation basis which amount to thousands of dollars per farm.
Gilmore stated that he does that the people of the county know or understand why districts, such as Hunting Beach, would pay a tax each of 23c per $100 assessed value during the first ten years of (Continued on Page 6)

Any Woman May Be Slick Chick Says Hartfield
The new feature of Anaheim's annual Hallowe'en Festival the festival committee regards with most eager interest is the Slick Chick Contest which will be held at the block between Los Angeles and Lemon streets on Center Street at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, October 30—a week from today.
The contest has been described as open to any Orange county en-ager, but Jack Hartfield chairman of the Slick Chick committee, gallantly explains that includes every woman in Orange county, "for we can't admit any woman is ever over 19 years old," says.

Light will be the emphasized feature of this year's Grand Parade which will climax Anaheim's 24th Annual Hallowe'en Festival. The parade will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 30, a week from today.
Route, grandstand, floats, even some of the marchers, will be "all lit up," but literally.
Entries received so far indicate there will be at least 50 floats in the parade, besides a cavalcade, including the Long Beach mounted police and many riding clubs aglitter with silver bridles and saddles, decorated automobiles and 15 musical organizations, including 12 bands. Prominent among the horsemen will be Monty Montana, well known in cowboy shows.
New rules stress the fact that lighting will be a major consideration in judging the floats for the coveted trophies. The illumination idea has been adopted by the Anaheim Union high school band which will march in the parade with illuminated shoes!
Aid and information concerning illumination supplies may be obtained at the Chamber of Commerce.
The fourteen divisions of the parade will form Olive street under organizing eye of Del Wilson, orange buyer. The line of march will be westward on Center street to Ohio street, south on Ohio to Broadway and east on Broadway to Atchison street where the paraders will disperse.
The USC band, as in former years, is expected to lead the parade. Besides Anaheim high school, other bands scheduled to participate are Anaheim Elks, Garden Grove senior high school, Garden Grove junior high school, Orange high, Valencia High, Fullerton High, Fullerton Junior col-
200 Cooks Won't Spoil Breakfast Hallowe'en Morn
Everett Cone who is chairman of the committee planning the Hallowe'en costume breakfast at City Park next Thursday morning emphasized this week that the ham, eggs and coffee will be served at 7 o'clock—and that doesn't mean 7:15 a.m., he said.
Anaheim streets already are gay with banners and flags in blue and gold and orange and black, adorned with broomstick riding witches, black cats and other Hallowe'en figures.
The day will begin with the traditional 6 o'clock reveille by the M. Eltiste & Company callope, calling ticket holders to the 7 o'clock costume breakfast at Anaheim City park. The breakfast and the entertainment which is to follow is expected to last until 10 a.m. Then interest will shift to the block between the Center street intersections of Los Angeles and Lemon streets which will be closed to parking but open to traffic. There the kangaroo count will go into session and will proceed to try offenders against Hallowe'en Festival traditions brought into court by "Cheeze of Police" Curly Williams and Center street business houses will begin their special stunts which will continue through much of the day.
At 11:30 a.m. will begin one of the new features included for the first time in this year's program. It will be the Slick Chick contest when the chief makeup mat of Hollywood's Max Factor and two other screen personalities will choose the Miss Slick Chick who will ride with two attendants on the Chamber of Commerce float in the Grand Parade.
An hour later in the same block the annual Whiskerino contest will begin. Then will follow, in the same place a series of stunts arranged by the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the ancient horsemess carriage race between Superior Judge Raymond Thompson's 1905 Maxwell, the oldest Dodge Robert H. Boney can find in California and any other ancient automobile owner who may enter by producing the birth certificate of his car and wear a costume of that period while driving in the race.
The Kiddies' Parade, which has been constantly growing in favor as a Hallowe'en Festival feature will start at Emily and Center streets at 2 p.m., will proceed westward on Center to Clementine and northward on Clementine to the City Park where there will be a show including a menagerie, clowns and circus acts presented by professionals. All of the schools within the Anaheim Union high school district have been invited (Continued on Page 6)

Spoil Breakfast Hallowe’en Morn
Everett Cone who is chairman of the committee planning the Hallowe’en costume breakfast at City Park next Thursday morning emphasized this week that the ham, eggs and coffee will be served at 7 o’clock — and that doesn’t mean 7:15 a.m., he said.
William Wallop who is in charge of ticket sales says 1200 tickets have been printed and when those are all sold there won’t be any more. Tickets are on sale at the S.Q.R. store, the Anaheim Drug store, Jackson’s Drug store, the Savings, Loan & Building office, the Anaheim Building & Loan office, and the Chamber of Commerce. No one will be admitted without a ticket and breakfasters are expected to appear in costume. The breakfaster without costume will feel as out of place as a sack suit at a full dress function.
Paul Demaree, Anaheim high school principal, will serve again as master of ceremonies. Demaree took part in his first Festival in 1929. As the new football coach for the school that year, he and the C team introduced night football as an added attraction, which is said to have been the first football game played under the lights in California.

Kids Asked To Paint Windows For Prizes Too!
Anaheim school kids who paint the town for Hallowe’en, instead of being chased home by the police this year, will be welcomed down town, and those who do the best job of painting will win prizes—provided they follow these rules:
They must register with the store they intend to give the works, giving the painter’s name and the school he or she attends; they must use “show card color” water paints only and with it paint a picture with ghosts, goblins, witches, pumpkins and other traditional Hallowe’en symbols preferred; then sign their names to their masterpieces.
Pictures should be painted on the store windows between the hours of 3 and 5 p. m. from Monday through Wednesday.
A committee of judges will view the pictures Thursday afternoon and their decisions will be announced during the program for school kids at City Park. There will be a first prize of $10 cash, a second prize of $5 and a third prize of $2.50 for winners in each of three classes.
The first class is for kids in first to fifth grades, the second is for those in sixth, seventh and eighth grades and the third of high school students.
Prizes will be awarded by the stores on whose windows the winning pictures are painted.
