ARRESTS OF HUNTERS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR State game wardens arrested 638 people during the first eleven months of this year, it was reported by the State Division of Fish and Game. A total of $22,-512.50 in fines was collected as a result of the arrests. The total compares to 658 arrests for the same period in 1946 with $28,569 in fines collected. Land is a habitation for man, the storehouse on which he must draw for all his needs. YOUR Sunkist REPORTER You Can't Streamline Santa Claus! Ever see the famous Sunkist Christmas display? From coast to coast it's become a kind of national institution. Used every Christmas season for eight years now. It's gotten so people expect it. Funny thing happened about that... The display centers on a big full-color picture of Santa emerging from a fireplace with a box of Sunkist Oranges. Around this is a red brick chimney built of orange boxes and paper. In front is space for a giant jumble display of Sunkist fruit. A Musician? Your Uncle Sam Needs Band Members Colonel L. W. Jefferson, recruiting head of Army and Air Force for southern California, announced today that 23 musicians are urgently needed for the 695th U.S. Air Force Band. This band is located at Fairfield-Suisian Army Air Field near Oakland, California. In announcing the openings the Colonel stated: "Trumpet, piano, saxophone players are but a few of the job openings with this band. The jobs are to be filled by veterans who formerly held musician ratings in the services." Interested veterans should contact M/Sgt. H. E. Loeffelhardt at the recruiting office at 128 So. Los Angeles, Anaheim, of the Army and Air Force Recruiting Service for this area. Alma M. Maxwell Passes on Sunday Mrs. Alma M. Maxwell, 81 years of age, passed away at an Orange sanitarium last Monday, Dec. 21. Born in Clinton, Iowa, she had resided in Anaheim for the last two years, making her home at 10622 West La Palma avenue, and was a member of the United Presbyterian church in Arkansas City, Kansas. Left to mourn her passing are one son, Dr. Howard E. Maxwell of Ponca City, Okla.; two daughters, Mrs. Revaud Raymond of Sacramento and Mrs. Alice Hansen of Anaheim; two grandchildren; one great grandchild and one sister, Mrs. Alice Brown of Rhode Island. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from No Granulation Control Found In Long Study During the past 17 years 200,000 Valencia oranges from approximately 2000 trees in 75 groves have been examined by citrus experiment station scientists in an effort to determine what causes granulation of the fruit and how to control it. This month they came up with a confession that no "adequate" control measures have yet been discovered. "The nearest approach to a control measure in California," they report, "is to pick the large fruits early, especially on the north and inside the tree. The longer the fruit remains on the tree the more likely it is to become granulated." They added the recommendation that young groves and groves on light soil should be watched most closely. "Limited tests in Orange county," they reported, "have shown that the amount and the severity of granulation may be considerably diminished by reducing to a practicable minimum the amount of irrigation water applied." A further recommendation was that when starting new Valencia trees all buds be taken from trees that are known to be low producers of granulation when they were young trees. While the long study of granulation has failed as yet to produce any but limited control measures, it has produced some interesting facts. Granulation of Valencia oranges, it has been determined, is not Funny thing happened about that... The display centers on a big full-color picture of Santa emerging from a fireplace with a box of Sunkist Oranges. Around this is a red brick chimney built of orange boxes and paper. In front is space for a giant jumble display of Sunkist fruit. Whole thing's bright, cheery—in the Christmas spirit. Well—one year Harold Ackley, Exchange Dealer Service head, figured it was time to change the display—bring it up to date like other Sunkist store material. A new painting of Santa was prepared—more modern, streamlined. Being a man of judgment, Ackley used the picture first in a limited test, as a poster for jobbers, and awaited their reaction. He got it... "What are you trying to do to Santa Claus?"... "Give us back the old Santa—the real one!" So—that year and every year since, the Sunkist Christmas display has shown the same identical Santa Claus—old-fashioned, unstreamlined, unfailingly popular with both kids and grown-ups. This year, hard-working Dealer Service men placed 15,000 of these displays in the biggest volume food stores of the nation. Best Wishes for the New Year from our Sunkist Reporter.

Do You Operate Under A Fictitious Firm Name A further recommendation was that when starting new Valencia trees all buds be taken from trees that are known to be low producers of granulation when they were young trees. While the long study of granulation has failed as yet to produce any but limited control measures, it has produced some interesting facts. Granulation of Valencia oranges, it has been determined, is not caused by a fungus, a virus or a bacteria. Growers have long known that the larger their fruit the more subject it has been to granulation. Not many have been troubled by granulation during the past three years. The study at the experiment station by E. T. Bartholomew, plant physiologist; W. B. Sinclair, biochemist, and F. M. Turrell, also a plant physiologist, has reduced to figures the susceptibility of oranges to granulation as their size increases. Of 61,900 oranges cut during a period of seven successive years only 7 per cent of the 344s showed granulation. In the 288s the percentage jumped to 18. The 200s showed 33 per cent; the 150s, 54 per cent and the 100s, 79 per cent. In nine successive years the cutting of 72,145 fruits showed 60 per cent to be slightly granulated, 25 per cent to be moderately granulated and 14 per cent badly granulated. In this study only the larger fruits were used. "Slightly granulated" fruit comes within the tolerance limit set for high grade fruit; at least a large portion of the "moderately granulated" fruit can be shipped in an "off brand" but badly granulated fruit is fit only for the by products plant. At Tustin a 3-year average showed trees on Brizillian sour orange produced 34 per cent granulation and trifoliate orange and rough lemon produced 31 per cent, Sampson tanglelo made the best showing—10 per cent. Some trees in a given grove consistently produced little granulation, others produced much while still others may produce little one year and much the next. Freezing temperatures may cause an increase in the amount of granulation in some individual fruits but low temperatures are not the direct cause of granulation. Over a period of years the trees in certain "dry" plots were kept just above the wilting point in the Operate Under A Fictitious Firm Name If so, have you complied with the requirements of Section 2466 of the Civil Code, which says: "Every person and every partnership transactnig business ... under a fictitious firm name ... must file ... a certificate stating the name in full and the place of residence of such person and the members of such partnership. ... Such certificate must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks." If you have neglected this procedure, do you realize that the name of your firm is not protected, and that you are not entitled to maintain suits for collection, or other purposes, in the courts of the State of California? Take care of this important matter NOW by having the ANAHEIM GAZETTE publish the certificate. Come into the office—it takes only a few minutes to have the form filled out, and we will file the document for you. The cost is small, but the filing and publication is something which should not be overlooked.

Looking Backward By C. E. HOLCOMB There is a very interesting story in Hancrofts History of California concerning ways and means to connect the Pacific Coast with the rest of the then young Republic, the United States of America. "Before the average American statesman began seriously to consider that proposition in our politics called the Monroe Doctrine, there were a few sagacious men who foresaw the Americanization of the continent, and discussed it, chief among whom was Thomas Jefferson. The question which presented itself to his mind most strongly after obtaining an acceptable treaty with England giving railroad to the Pacific coast was made by Hartwell Carver of Rochester, N. Y. He advocated the building of a track across the continent with its western terminus on the Columbia river, California had not come into our possession at that time. "Considering that the first passenger railway in the U. S. had been put in operation only two years previous, it was remarkable that Carver, who was a grandson of Jonathan Carver, the explorer should have thought of this means of grasping the commerce of Asia and the Eastern isles. Carver published articles in the New York Courier and Inquirer in 1832, memorialized congress on the subject from 1835 to 1839 and continued to petition for a charter for fifteen years more, New Tack Tried In Avocado Decline Work The fight against avocado trunk decline has been carried to a new and "exceedingly promising field which is described in a paper Dr. George A. Zentmyer and L. Klotz of the University of California Citrus Experiment Station Riverside which appears in the current issue of Citrus Leaves published by Mutual Orange Distributors. It has been found that "cinnamon fungus" is always present in the roots of sick trees and is supposed to be responsible, at least in part, for the disease. One tack has been the direct one applying materials which it hoped would be toxic to the fungus and not too damaging to tree. The other is more indirect. Materials which in themselves are not harmful to the cinnamon fungus are being applied in hope they may stimulate growth of harmless types of fungi and bacteria, which in turn would counteract the cinnamon fungus. "This," says Zentmyer and Klotz "is a well known principle work on root rot diseases; many fungi and bacteria will attack other fungi and bacteria in soil or will form substances (and biotics) harmful to them. "It was with this idea in mind that we have used such material as manure, alfalfa meal, soil fur, cottonseed meal and soybean meal. In one greenhouse experiment and in a field experiment this type of treatment has shown some promise, warranting further work along this line." For recommendation was the starting new Valencia lands be taken from trees known to be low progranulation when they ing trees. The long study of granul failed as yet to prove but limited control it has produced some facts. Nation of Valencia oranges, even determined, is not a fungus, a virus or a We have long known that their fruit the more has been to granulation.

"Before the average American statesman began seriously to consider that proposition in our politics called the Monroe Doctrine, there were a few sagacious men who foresaw the Americanization of the continent, and discussed it, chief among whom was Thomas Jefferson. The question which presented itself to his mind most strongly after obtaining an acceptable treaty with England giving us a boundary to the Pacific, was how to bind the west coast of America to the territories stretching to the Atlantic on the east. Such a navy as ours could not hold it against the other navies of the world; nor could isolated military stations, such as Spain had used to frighten away sea-rovers, prevent other nations from erecting forts and disputing with our claim. If we were to be a homogeneous people from the Pacific to the Atlantic, we must have free communication; but how? "This question led to the explorations of Lewis and Clarke in 1804-6, proving that nature had interposed no insurmountable obstacles to the establishment of a road to the mouth of the Columbia river, whence the enthusiastic traveller could almost scent the breezes of far famed Cathay." The surveys of Lewis and Clarke, Pike and Long had in mind a road. The first railroad in America was the Quincy, Massachusetts railroad built in 1825-6 four miles in length and only used for carrying quarried stone. The second was the Mauch Chunk & Lehigh 13 miles long. These railways used horses for power. The first locomotive was imported from England a few years later. In 1827 the Maryland legislature chartered the first railroad company in America with a capitol stock of $500,000.00. Being constructed before the use of locomotives, horses were used, being kept at stations on the road. In 1830 Peter Cooper built at Baltimore a locomotive weighing about one ton, with which he drew an open car filled with the directors of the road and their friends at the fast rate of 18 miles an hour. In 1844 there were 2278 miles of railroads in the United States. Bancroft says, "It is one of the peculiarities of our institutions that while congress debates upon the propriety of an undertaking, the people get so far along in the first passenger railway in the U.S. had been put in operation only two years previous, it was remarkable that Carver, who was a grandson of Jonathan Carver, the explorer should have thought of this means of grasping the commerce of Asia and the Eastern isles, Carver published articles in the New York Courier and Inquirer in 1832, memorialized congress on the subject from 1835 to 1839 and continued to petition for a charter for fifteen years more, spending forty years of his life and $23,000.00 of his own, trying to float the project. Perseverance has its own reward; just think, he got a free pass over a railway to the Pacific in 1869. The proposition submitted to congress by Carver was substantially as follows: He and his associates should have an exclusive and perpetual charter for a railroad and telegraph line from Lake Michigan to the South pass, with branches to San Francisco bay and the mouth of the Columbia river, with a belt of land the whole distance, and stone, iron and lead from the public quarries and mines, the privilege of purchasing 8,000,000 acres of selected lands at $1.25 an acre to be paid for with the stock of the company as the road became finished. The road was to be laid on stone foundations; the time from San Francisco to N.Y. was to be five days; palace sleeping cars sixteen feet long, with saloon and dining cars attached. This was long before Long Beach was ever thought of but Carver had a rival in a transcontinental railway. You have guessed it he was from Iowa, John Plumbe by name and a resident of Dubuque, Iowa. His railroad was to be built from Lake Michigan to Oregon, as early as 1836 and a public meeting was held in Dubuque March 26, 1836. On the anniversary of that meeting nine years afterward held in Dubuque, which Plumbe addressed, it was resolved, "That this meeting regard John Plumbe, Esq., our fellow townsman, as the original projector, (about ten years ago.) of the great Oregon railroad." The question is, with due respect for the great state of Iowa, how could Plumbe in 1836 be the original projector when Carver was publishing articles in the New York Courier on the same matter in 1832? Another promoter of a transcontinental railroad was Asa Whitfield on root rot diseases; man fungi and bacteria will attack other fungi and bacteria in soil or will form substances (all biotics) harmful to them. "It was with this idea in mind that we have used such materials as manure, alfalfa meal, soil saturate, cottonseed meal and soybean meal. In one greenhouse experiment and in a field experiment this type of treatment has shown some promise, warranting further work along this line we are continuing this type of investigation. "This is an exceedingly promising field. There is a complex population of fungi and bacteria present in all soils. The presence of a harmful fungus, such as cinnamon fungus in large amounts in soil presents an abnormal condition. There may be fairly accurate balance between conditions favoring the cinnamon fungus its attack on avocado roots those which counteract it." Ethylene dibromide, a functional or toxic chemical, in dosages also has shown some beneficial benefit to sick trees, reducing Zentmyer and Klotz.

As to rates, he would charge one-cent per ton per mile on ordinance freight for all distances over miles; to carry the same any shorter distances for one-half the charges by the principal railway in the U.S., to transport corn across the continent for cents a bushel, flour for $1.25 barrel, and passengers for the usual price during the first years after completion. He offered to carry the public m Troops and munitions of war In 1830 Peter Cooper built at Baltimore a locomotive weighing about one ton, with which he drew an open car filled with the directors of the road and their friends at the fast rate of 18 miles an hour. In 1844 there were 2278 miles of railroads in the United States. Bancroft says, "It is one of the peculiarities of our institutions that while congress debates upon the propriety of an undertaking, the people get so far along in the prosecution of it that the government feels forced to lend its aid." The government had not a mile of road west of Fort Leavenworth in 1849, yet at this date there were 150,000 Americans in California and Oregon. The gold rush to California in 1849 again relieved the government of the obligation of constructing a road; the gold hunters found passes for themselves, as good as any which have ever been discovered. The first proposal to build a transcontinental railroad was Asa Whitney of New York, in the 1840's. He had spent many years in China and he had in mind the many advantages that would accrue to this country if it could become the carrier of the great oriental traffic with Europe. In order to construct this pathway across the continent, he demanded of congress a strip of land sixty miles wide, along the whole length of the road, or a little item of 92,-160,000 acres, with their agricultural, mineral and lumber pro- Among the 248 basic gross vehicle weight chassis models just announced in the new Dodge "Job-Rated" truck line is this B-1-H tractor of 128-inch wheelbase, 15,500 pounds gross vehicle weight (1½-ton nominal rating) and 28,000 pounds gross train weight.
