M.O.D. to Bag Navels After Finding Bagged Fruit Brings Higher Returns Packing associations affiliated with Mutual Orange Distributors shipped more than 5,000,000 seven-pound consumer size bags of Valencia oranges from the first of June through October 31. This is more than any single shipping organization in Florida moved last year, according to an article in the November issue of Citrus Leaves, the Mutual Orange Distributors' magazine, and was more than was shipped by any other California marketing agency this year. All sizes of fruit went into bags but small sizes predominated. The demand on the eastern market for bagged fruit was heavier than the shipments and small sizes in consumer packages brought more money than the same size pack. Variety Show Entertains Kids A galaxy of Hollywood entertainers, booked by Walter Trask of that city, entertained Anaheim and Orange county youngsters who gathered more than 5000 strong to witness the variety show presented in the Greek Theater, city park, last Thursday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock, as a portion of the twenty-fourth annual Hallowe'en festival here. Included on the program was a jovial clown known as Larry "Bozo" Valli; an expert juggler, Roy Royce; Penny Parker who gave an India rubber performance with barrels and hoops; a bar dinner guests recently Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Proud and Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Ashman of La Habra; and Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Whittemore of Whittier. Mr. and Mrs. Warren McCamish and children of Pomona were visitors this week in the home of Mr. McCamish's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John McCamish, 515 South Hiatt street. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Stout, formerly of La Habra, were honored Monday evening at their home in Brea, by a large number of friends, with a going-away party. Refreshments of pie and coffee were served, and a lovely gift was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Stout, who are leaving to make their home in Oregon. Guests from La Habra included Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Elliott, and Mesdames Howard Ward and Kenneth Mix. Christmas Seal Goal in County Set at $35,000 Forty-thousand envelopes must be stuffed by volunteers at the headquarters of the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association during the next two weeks, in preparation for the 41st annual Christmas Seal sale which begins November 24. The 80,000 sheets of seals, folded by the firemen of Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana; and Boys' Scouts and Girls' Scouts, Veterans' auxiliaries, women's societies from various churches, besides interested individuals are all in. Frank A. Henderson, executive secretary, announced that this year's goal of $35,000 had been decided upon, by the board of directors, to take care of the en- year, according to an article in the November issue of Citrus Leaves, the Mutual Orange Distributors' magazine, and was more than was shipped by any other California marketing agency this year. All sizes of fruit went into bags but small sizes predominated. The demand on the eastern market for bagged fruit was heavier than the shipments and small sizes in consumer packages brought more money than the same sizes packed in the standard wooden boxes, according to the article. With the approaching opening of the navel season, Mutual Orange Distributors' packing associations are preparing to move much of the crop in consumer-size containers. Also, all M.O.D. houses in the desert grapefruit areas of California and Arizona have revamped their production lines to include bagging operations along with conventional packaging. The consumer bag is the first radical change made in handling California citrus fruits in more than 40 years. Hirsute Growers Bristle With Pride A variety of facial schubbery was displayed as Anaheim beard and mustache growers gathered for the Whiskerino judging contest last Thursday morning. Virgil Isbell, Anaheim barber, was hairman of the hilarious Halloween festival event. Ivan Storey sported the most comical crop, it was decided by Judges Earl Hopkins, W. T. Tidwell and City Judge John Shea. He was awarded a Schick electric shaver. An Eversharp pencil and repeater pen set was won by Robert "Bob" Spencer, Anaheim pound master, for the best groomed whiskers. The most whiskers belonged to Cruz F. Sandoval who received a genuine leather billfold. Ben Schlosser of North Zeyn street was given recognition for trying the hardest and having the least. He got a miniature safety razor. Permits For October Building Total $125,127 Building permits issued by Building Inspector Rudolph Ny- Permits For October Building Total $125,127 Building permits issued by Building Inspector Rudolph Nyroe during last October indicated more activity than during October a year ago, but the total for the year was running well behind that for 1946. Forty-eight permits for buildings totalling $125,127 in value were issued in Anaheim in October, bringing the total valuation for the year to $1,496,871. The October 1946 total for 51 buildings was $100,148 and the total for the first ten months of last year was $1,727,299.

Budd, of Fresno, last weekend. Sunday dinner was enjoyed in the Patton home on East Broadway. This weekend Mr. and Mrs. Reinhardt and Mrs. Patton plan to return the visit. Someone has renewed the sport, prevalent a few weeks ago, of dropping dummies on highways and railway tracks. Santa Fe trainmen brought one such dummy to the police station Saturday night. They found it, they said, between the double tracks, and were able to give the police a description of the car which they believed dropped it. Several La Habrans, including Mr. and Mrs. Francis Luehm, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Tremaine and Mr. and Mrs. Everett Haskins attended the auto races at the Culver City Speedway Sunday. (N.B.

Completion of the new high school group will probably furnish room for that institution for a year or two to come. But the grammar schools must have more room before the next term begins. This year forty-five teachers are employed in grammar schools and many of them have more pupils than one teacher can handle. The trustees are planning a nine room building on the campus of the Fremont school and will be known as the Junior high school building. Mr. Eugene Durfee is now working on the plans. The structure will cost $50,000. Anaheim was almost depopulated Saturday, the majority of the citizens going over to Fullerton to participate in the Armistice day celebration. Several floats were sent from here, one representing the city, one the Chamber of Commerce and one the Central Labor council. The procession, it was estimated, was five miles long, and it required an hour and a half to pass the judges' stand. Promptly at eleven o'clock Capt. Alexander Henry fired his cannon, announcing that the procession had started. William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury during the war was in one of the automobiles at the head. The Army and Navy band led the first divi-sion which was composed of the various Legion posts of the county—Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange Fullerton, Brea and Huntington Beach, and they made a fine showing, a thousand men, many them wearing the uniform while for three years or more had been laid away in moth balls. It is estimated that fully twenty-five thousand people crowded the city Fullerton to witness the pageant.

Not every town is favored with so complete a dry goods store as Anaheim possesses in the establishment of Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau. Few county dealers possess that knowledge of the quality and value of fabrics which these gentlemen have gained from years of experience, and the public can buy of them in perfect confidence that their dealers not only know what they are selling, but are perfectly fair and honorable in their representations of the same.
