COLONY QUIPS This is not an obit nor is it any attempt to guide the wheels of justice as we are not, at present, charged with any offense in the City Recorder's domain. (Any hour of the day this situation could easily change, as these things are usually in a very fluid state.) Getting down to the point, the new City Judge is no other than our old friend, L. P. (Lyn) Bonnat. We hasten to add that parking tickets will still cost $1 cash and other fees in like proportion as before because Lyn (excuse us, Judge Bonnat) needs no guardian when money matters are involved. There is only one dividend that you will get when you submit to the sentence imposed and that is a smile when you fully comply. (If this gets in the paper we are going to be very circumspect for a few weeks.) But, seriously, we don't know how the city council could have made a better choice for this important position. Judge Bonnat has been here long enough for almost everyone to know and to respect. We all know him and like him just the same. We know everyone will get the same honest treatment from him as before even if he has more authority. This all may seem a little involved but all will be made clear to you the first time you appear before the new 'Jefe' for sentence. The only thing that is really bad about him, so we hear, is the way he plays golf. The seventy year record of drought that the storm overcame Exchange To Let Members Bag Oranges Under permission of the board of directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, affiliated grower associations may now ship interstate both Sunkist and non-Sunkist oranges and grapefruit in five and seven pound mesh bags. It is left to the board of directors of each district exchange to decide whether to bag all the fruit in one house in the district or to let each packing plant bag its own fruit. Since the handling of the navel crop in the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange is a minor operation, the directors of that exchange have until the opening of the Valencia harvest to decide what to do about the permission from CFGE. It was suggested that they would begin by taking a look into navel packing houses The Rains Cameras Ranchers Elate An unusual sound was by Anaheim citizens last night.

This all may seem a little involved but all will be made clear to you the first time you appear before the new 'Jefe' for sentence. The only thing that is really bad about him, so we hear, is the way he plays golf. The seventy year record of drought that the storm overcame was one record southern Californians were certainly not striving for. Hopes, prayers and even imported Indian rain makers did their utmost but the record stands. We hope it is many years before it is even approached. Paul Yorde who heads the Oregon Chamber of Commerce in southern California has been taking a lot of credit for bringing that chief down here and before this rain it was suspected that the Indian brought only a gallon with him, Paul not saying just what it was. Now they will probably take credit for the whole thing. Kept us on tenderhooks for quite a while. If this storm keeps up and we get three or four inches out of it we would just as soon give anyone the credit as all we want is the water. Paul and the Chief can have that gallon. Phil Segrais, manager of Aaron Schultz Furniture is one of the boys around town that does not care to have a bunch of 'yes' men around. He has a big job on his hands but still finds time to think of what is happening to the present and future business possibilities in Anaheim. He would like to make shopping here much easier than it is today. Another question he would like answered is what has become of the property immediately west of the Safeway store and bounded on the west by Clementine. What an ideal spot for a parking lot. We would like to know more about that too. The Saturday night parking problem is one that some thought should be given to. Many people park and leave their cars until the show lets out. They fail to think of the person who needs to come in and buy and get out again. The parking meters should be operated until at least 9 o'clock on Saturday night. It would not only be a boon to our friends and customers but to the merchants as well. What can be done? In the district or to let each packing plant bag its own fruit. Since the handling of the navel crop in the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange is a minor operation, the directors of that exchange have until the opening of the Valencia harvest to decide what to do about the permission from CFGE. It was suggested that they would begin by taking a look into navel packing houses which have adopted bagging of fruit for their customers to profit, if possible, by their experience. Frank Belmont's Granada packing house here has been bagging oranges for several years and has developed equipment which makes the operation largely automatic. Last year Garden Grove Orange Cooperative, Inc., put in automatic bagging equipment developed by Brogdex and Food Machinery corporation. Because of the cost of thement Exchange houses have of assigning to one packing plant in a district the task for bagging fruit for all houses in the district. But recently a small portable outfit is said to have been developed at Pomona which costs only about $200 a unit and one or two units could perform bagging operations for an average sized association. These small units require a good many more manual operations than the big units, but many plants in Orange county affiliated with Mutual Orange Distributors bagged a considerable percentage of their total output wholly by hand and have since expressed themselves well satisfied with the year's operations. It is estimated that bagging fruit for the retail customer in five and seven pound bags will add about 55 cents to the cost of packing the equivalent of a conventional packed box of fruit. This includes the cost of the mesh bags at about 5 cents each and the difference between the conventional packing box and the wired Bruce box in which bagged fruit is shipped. The argument in favor of selling fruit in consumer bags is that the consumers seem to like it, that they tend to buy more fruit when bagged than they do when they buy it by the pound or the dozen and that fruit in bags looks larger than it does in boxes or piled in displays. While Mutual Orange Distributors and independent operators Funeral services were held day afternoon for a woman for 33 years directly influencing more Anaheim young people haps than anyone else who ever lived here. She was Miss Bella J. Whee who was a teacher at Annapolis Union high school from 1907 her retirement in 1940. D many of those 33 years she also vice principal and dea women. Also, until ill health ed her to desist, she was a day school teacher at the V Temple Methodist church. She died at her ranch home East North street last Friday ming at the age of 84. Born in Ontario, Canada, Walker came to the United States 78 years ago and to Anaheim 1907 where she taught all English classes in the high school of which her brother, J. Frank Walker, was principal. With creased enrollment and the acc panying increase in the fac Miss Walker became head of English department in 1914, in 1919 was named vice prim and dean of women. Upon her retirement she honored by the city, a large number of whose inhabitants had been former students. Also she guest of honor at a recent memo of the AUHS Alumni association. Miss Walker was a charter member of the first PEO chapter Anaheim and was one of the sors of a second chapter recc chartered here. Surviving her are her add son, Sam J. Walker of Villa M two grandchildren, Dean and J ell Walker of Anaheim, and brother Dr. J. Franklin Wa ther former high school print here and now on the faculty the University of Arizona at nson, who attended funeral service here Monday. Also present w niece, Mrs. A. J. Kirst of Francisco. Services at Backs, Campbell Kaulbars chapel were condu t by Rev. Rollo Dunham of W Temple Methodist church. Ent oment was in Anaheim mausole The Saturday night parking problem is one that some thought should be given to. Many people park and leave their cars until the show lets out. They fail to think of the person who needs to come in and buy and get out again. The parking meters should be operated until at least 9 o'clock on Saturday night. It would not only be a boon to our friends and customers but to the merchants as well. What can be done? Center street at Lemon has a new stop sign: Remember this, sitting home in your parlor, Stop and don't holler, or it'll cost you a dollar. Pure corn, no extra charge. It costs American women a pretty penny to keep their shapely, er, ah—limbs encased in sheer nylons. And one reason for the high cost is that the sheerest nylons—which most of them are said to prefer—don't survive more than a few wearings. Hosiery manufacturers say that the 15-denier nylons simply can't be made to stand up under daily use, and they blame the women for insisting on buying them when the 30- or 40-denier nylons would give them better service. Well, you can hardly blame the gals for wanting to make their legs look as glamorous as possible. But if dresses get much longer it won't make any difference (to the men) whether they wear stockings or not. As of September first, the U. S. Navy had 226,000 men afloat and 49,000 ashore. As of November first, the U. S. Marine Corps had 2,400 men afloat and 19,000 ashore. The argument in favor of selling fruit in consumer bags is that the consumers seem to like it, that they tend to buy more fruit when bagged than they do when they buy it by the pound or the dozen and that fruit in bags looks larger than it does in boxes or piled in displays. While Mutual Orange Distributors and independent operators sold several million bags in eastern markets last year, the Exchange has not hitherto shipped fruit in bags outside of California. The bagged Sunkist quality fruit will be identified by the Sunkist trademark. Non-Sunkist oranges and grapefruit will be bagged without brand identification. Instead "Juicy Oranges" will be printed on the bags. New Stop Sign Installed On Center Street Look out for another boulevard stop sign. This one is at a location where you are liable to be so preoccupied with other driving cares you may overlook it. It is on Center street at the Lemon street intersection. Already there were stop signs on either side of Center street for Lemon street traffic, so this makes of the intersection a stop for traffic on either street. Because of other signs at the intersection it was necessary to place the new stop orders higher than you may have been in the habit of looking for them. But they are there all right. Everybody reads the Gazette. Will Discuss New Sewerage Plans For District 3 Modifications made in the original plans for sewerage in Stary District 3 will be explained by Dr. Richard Pomeroy of Ewald Lemcke at a meeting held February 11 in Sava school, Stanton. Dr. Pomeroy is a prominent litary engineer who has been retained by the county board of servitors as consultant on county's sewerage program. Lemcke is supervising engineers the Orange County Sewerage Survey. They will discuss engineering and cost sudies and benefits to district under a delayed construction plan to provide sewerage District 3 at lower starting rates than was estimated under the plan originally recommended. District 3 covers a large part of the western and northern parts of the county. The meeting open to all residents and property owners. SNOW TOO SOFT FOR SKI ARTISTS According to latest reports, snow covering favorite mountain sporting grounds are too slushy skiing. "Some rain would help Anaheim enthusiasts stated one argued. The Rains Came! Ranchers Elated An unusual sound was heard by Anaheim citizens last night. It was the patter of rain drops from 8 o'clock last night, Wednesday, to 8 o'clock this morning, a total of .46 of an inch fell upon the arid section in the south part of Anaheim, according to officials of the Light, Water and Power plant. In the northern sector of this city .55 an inch fell, executives at the association Laboratory stated. The total precipitation in Anaheim for the season is slightly above 2.01 inches. The last rain any proportion here fell during the first week in December. A slight trickle was noticed between Christmas and New Year's Day. Death Summons Bella Walker, Veteran Teacher Numeral services were held Monday afternoon for a woman who 33 years directly influenced the Anaheim young people perish than anyone else who has delivered on Tuesday’s auctions compared to $5.04 on the preceding Tuesday while 252s averaged $2.55 delivered. Buyers Bid Up Larger Sizes In Citrus Extremely cold weather in the middle west and east continued to hamper distribution and sales of both oranges and lemons last week. In consequence both volume and prices tended lower. Navels of all sizes and grades averaged about $2.71 a box, f.o.b. packing house, compared to an average of $2.73 in the corresponding week a year ago, $3.72 in 1946 and $3.66 in 1945. There was a sharp advance on larger sizes but a corresponding drop on smaller sizes and since present shipments contain 55 percent of 252s and smaller the effect on the market was to lower the average about 25 cents a box under the average for the preceding week. There was a stronger tone to the orange market early this week with all sizes from 252s upward showing advances on the auctions ranging from 12 to 61 cents a box. Fancy 150s averaged $5.65 a box delivered on Tuesday’s auctions compared to $5.04 on the preceding Tuesday while 252s averaged $2.55 delivered. Old Newspapers Tell of Drier Year Than This While 1947 was the driest year recorded by the U.S. Weather Bureau in southern California since they began keeping records here 71 years ago, there are older unofficial records which suggest disturbing possibilities. In the season 1862-63, according to these older records, there was less than 4 inches of rain, and in the following rain season little more, than a trace of rain fell. That was the drought which ruined the southern California cattle barons and gave the cattle industry in this part of the state a blow from which it never recovered. "By the fall of 1863," says an article in a recent issue of the Los Angeles Herald - Express, "the only strip of green left in all southern California was the irrigated vineyards of Anaheim. As the whole country turned brown, thirst-maddened cattle descended upon the strip and stood outside the fences, bellowing in agony. "The colonists had to maintain a 24-hour watch to repel the desperate animals." The story of the great drought With more confidence have exhibited so far weather forecasters hawked that a rain storm is to southern California should reach here to that it would be heavy be of value to grain, truck growers and livestock but that it would be far cold of unspecified interruption. Orange county entertained Sunday night that a breaking storm had hit it ended before the prince was sufficient to lay thunderstorms followed by a series of cold enough to cause seepers to light their heaters again and to keep others anxiously watching thermometers. Sunday night’s drizzles but .01 of an inch here rainfall in the county was an inch reported from which already had receded highest rainfall of the last inches. A subject of debate was or not 100 pounds of drums dropped into the cliff. Death Summons Bella Walker, Veteran Teacher uneral services were held Monday afternoon for a woman who was 33 years directly influenced by Anaheim young people persistent than anyone else who has lived here. He was Miss Bella J. Walker who was a teacher at Anaheim on high school from 1907 until retirement in 1940. During day of those 33 years she was a service principal and dean of en. Also, until ill health forher to desist, she was a Sunschool teacher at the White Pele Methodist church. She died at her ranch home on North street last Friday mornat the age of 84. Born in Ontario, Canada, Miss Walker came to the United States years ago and to Anaheim in where she taught all four fish classes in the high school which her brother, J. Franklin Walker, was principal. With inspired enrollment and the accompaining increase in the faculty, Walker became head of the fish department in 1914, and 1919 was named vice principal dean of women. On her retirement she was reed by the city, a large part of those inhabitants had been her students. Also she was at honor at a recent meeting the AUHS Alumni association. Ms Walker was a charter memof the first PEO chapter in neim and was one of the sponof a second chapter recently ereased here. Surviving her are her adopted Sam J. Walker of Villa Park, grandchildren, Dean and JewWalker of Anaheim, and her her Dr. J. Franklin Walker, former high school principal and now on the faculty of University of Arizona at Tucwho attended funeral services Monday. Also present was a, Mrs. A. J. Kirst of San Fisco. Services at Backs, Campbell and bars chapel were conducted ev. Rollo Dunham of White ole Methodist church. Entombwas in Anaheim mausoleum. There was a stronger tone to the orange market early this week with all sizes from 252s upward showing advances on the auctions ranging from 12 to 61 cents a box. Fancy 150s averaged $5.65 a box delivered on Tuesday's auctions compared to $5.04 on the preceding Tuesday while 252s averaged $3.55 delivered, compared to an average of $3.41 a week earlier. The average for fancy 288s on Tuesday's auctions was $2.96, delivered, compared to an average of $3.07 a week earlier and fancy 344s brought only $2.55 a box, delivered. A week earlier that size and grade averaged $2.92. The Orange Administrative com­mittee set a prorate of 750 cars of southern California navels and 125 cars of northern and central Cali­fornia fruit for next week. Florida was expected to ship 2150 cars. Lemons averaged $4.68 a box, f.o.b., last week, about three cents under the average for the preceding week. For the corresponding week last year the average for all sizes and all grades was $4.04, for 1946, $4.71 and for 1945, $3.65. (Continued on Page 7) Steps Taken To Purify Water At Freeway Park Mountain Properties Inc., early this week began installation of a chlorinator at Freeway Park. This action followed notice from Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer to occupants of the subdivision two miles northwest of Anaheim on Manchester boulevard and largely occupied by veterans of World War II and their families, that the water supply contained too high a bacterial count to be safe for domestic use without boiling. Tevis Westgate, tract subdivider, said the source of the contamination of the water supply had not been determined, but that a new deep well had been drilled by the water company which would soon provide the subdivision with pure water. As to a complaint of buyers of property in the tract that only one fire hydrant had been installed for the protection of 149 homes in the tract, Westgate said that materials for additional hydrants had been ordered six months ago. Hawley Retires In 56th Year In Bank Business In his fifty-sixth year as a banker, Herbert A. Hawley has retired as cashier of the Southern County Bank. His retirement, announced this week at the bank, was as of January 31, 1948. He had been in the banking business in California 37 years and with the Southern County Bank for 30 years. Chosen by the board to succeed Hawley is John N. Raleigh who came to the Southern County Bank last September from the Citizens National Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles where he had been employed for a number of years. Since coming to the Southern County Bank he has served as assistant cashier. Upon his graduation from school Hawley went to work on July 1, 1892 for the First National Bank, St. Johnsbury, Vt., and remained with that institution until 1910 when the urge to go west overcame him. His first job after reaching California was with the American Savings Bank of Los Angeles of which the late J. W. Phelps was the president. He came to the Southern County Bank January 1, 1918 and in April, 1934 opened the bank's Artesia branch. He remained there until his retirement. William M. Moore, manager of the Artesia branch of the bank and assistant cashier, has been appointed vice-president.

He came to the Southern County Bank January 1, 1918 and in April, 1934 opened the bank's Artesia branch. He remained there until his retirement. William M. Moore, manager of the Artesia branch of the bank and assistant cashier, has been appointed vice-president. He enlisted in the Navy in 1907 and served until 1934 when he left the service to enter the sheriff's office under Logan Jackson. In 1938 he was elected Justice of the peace at Orange but before his term ended World War II called him to active duty in the Navy in 1941. He retired from the Navy in 1946 and took a situation in the county jail under Capt. Theo Lacy.

Say Real Rain on Way to Southland After False Start Sunday Night With more confidence than they have exhibited so far this season, weather forecasters have announced that a rain storm is on the way to southern California, that it should reach here tonight and that it would be heavy enough to be of value to grain, fruit, and truck growers and livestock men, but that it would be followed by cold of unspecified intensity. Orange county entertained hopes Sunday night that a drought-breaking storm had begun, but it ended before the precipitation was sufficient to lay the dust and was followed by a series of nights cold enough to cause some lemon growers to light their orchard heaters again and to keep all the others anxiously watching their thermometers. Sunday night's drizzle measured but .01 of an inch here. Heaviest rainfall in the county was .10 of an inch reported from Orange which already had recorded the highest rainfall of the season—3 inches. A subject of debate was whether or not 100 pounds of dry ice pellets dropped into the clouds from critical insofar as domestic water usage is concerned. They are Ventura, Santa Barbara, Benicia, and Suisun, the division said. Reports reaching the division from various sections of the state indicate there is sufficient water to last through the season in the rest of California's major communities. Los Angeles has advised the division that it will have a sufficient supply from Owens Valley, and the metropolitan area around Los Angeles also has advised there is enough water available this season. In the Sacramento valley, Shasta dam now has more water in it than at this time last year, so no shortage is expected in that area. In checking rainfall figures over the past, the division says that only in eleven years since records have been kept in the Sacramento area has it been as dry at this time of the year as in 1948. And in six of those eleven years, late rains have brought the rainfall up to normal. Engineers of the division said they could see no reason if a sudden damage said to equal that of 1939 It was generally agreed by Orange county growers and shippers that considerable damage had been done to orange and lemon crops by the series of cold nights which have occurred in the past two weeks. But at midweek no authoritative estimate was available as to the extent of the loss suffered in any area or district or in the entire citrus belt. Inquiry among Orange county packing plants has so far disclosed none which believed its growers had wholly escaped frost damage. But none was willing to hazard a guess as to the extent. At present, they said, further damage was possible and on the other hand fruit which shows slight frost damage now might recover before harvest time and be salable as sound fruit. The manager of one Anaheim citrus association said at mid-week that spot examination of groves in his association indicated damage so far is not nearly as severe. Sunday night's drizzle measured but .01 of an inch here. Heaviest rainfall in the county was .10 of an inch reported from Orange which already had recorded the highest rainfall of the season—3 inches. A subject of debate was whether or not 100 pounds of dry ice pellets dropped into the clouds from an airplane in the vicinity of the county airport south of Santa Ana played any part in bringing on the precipitation. Available evidence suggests it didn't. The last load of dry ice was dropped in the vicinity of Corona del Mar at 3 p.m. The rain began falling at 7:30 p.m. No record of rainfall at Corona del Mar was available but at nearby Newport Beach the total precipitation was .05 of an inch. At Santa Ana it was .02 of an inch. At Yorba Linda, the point in the county farthest from the rain making experiment, there was .08 of an inch of rain. California still has a fifty-fifty chance, based on rainfall records, of recuperating from the prospects of a major drought, the State Division of Water Resources says. Only four areas in the state are dam now has more water in it than at this time last year, so no shortage is expected in that area. In checking rainfall figures over the past, the division says that only in eleven years since records have been kept in the Sacramento area has it been as dry at this time of the year as in 1948. And in six of those eleven years, late rains have brought the rainfall up to normal. Engineers of the division said they could see no reason, if a sudden rain should fall, why the gates at Matillija dam in Ventura county could not be closed, and excess water which normally would run off, be stored to alleviate the situation there. Matillija dam is still under construction. Meanwhile, reports from Ventura are to the effect that more wells are being drilled. In Santa Barbara, drilling is in process on additional wells, and efforts are being made to persuade the Montecito district to share its supply during the present emergency. Suisun hopes to cut into the Fairfield supply, but so far there have been no reports of where Benicia will get additional water to make up its shortage. Banker Tells Lions About State’s Growth Anaheim Lions club presented an outstanding program to its members and guests last Friday. Before the main speaker a goodly sum of hard money was painfully extracted from the assemblage by Fran Elliott, acting as tail twister. George LaFollette was roundly applauded for his handling of the lance in the Ebell club and was asked to keep them going. President Warren Ashleigh put on a quiz asking certain Lions to pick out other members giving only their business endeavors. He then introduced O. E. Hanson as chairman of the day. Hanson introduced Lawrence Pritchard who is in the Business Extension department and a vice-president of the Bank of America. Pritchard gave one of the most interesting talks on the future here in California, his hearers declared, that has been heard in a long time. This western state has an area larger than the British Awards Total $125 on First Appreciation Day Three prizes totaling $125 in cash were divided among three patrons of Anaheim merchants as a result of the first Appreciation Day awards yesterday afternoon. A crowd of at least 1000 persons was on hand when the awards were announced from a truck platform in front of the Anaheim theatre. An award of $50 went to Jack Royer and an equal prize to W. J. Leake while $25 in cash went to Mrs. C. S. Irvine. Names of a dozen ticket holders were called with no response and under Appreciation Day rules only persons present and responding when their names are called may claim prizes. One ticket holder missed a prize of $250 by not being present to respond when his name was called. Barbara Martin's accordion band entertained with a musical program preceding the awarding of prizes. It was explained by William Thornecroft, Appreciation Day had wholly escaped frost damage. But none was willing to hazard a guess as to the extent. At present, they said, further damage was possible and on the other hand fruit which shows slight frost damage now might recover before harvest time and be salable as sound fruit. The manager of one Anaheim citrus association said at mid-week that spot examination of groves in his association indicated damage so far is not nearly as severe as it was in 1937, but was comparable to losses suffered in 1939. In the latter year there was enough frost damage to make necessary separation of fruit from a good many groves. He said a careful inspection and estimate would be made early in March. Reports from Florida indicate the low temperatures there on January 14 and 15 did not materially affect the volume of fruit to be shipped from that state. The Florida Citrus Commission has reported that an estimate of a 5 percent loss would be high. Meantime Orange county ranchers were looking forward with pleasure to the rain promised for tonight and with some apprehension towards the cold spell which forecasters said would follow it. Navajos Sign Up for Citrus Jobs in County George Graham, secretary-manager of Citrus Growers, Inc., awaited word at midweek that the first bus load of Indians from the Navajo reservations in New Mexico and Arizona had left for Orange county to join the crews of fruit pickers in the county's citrus groves. Arrangements for the Navajos to come to Orange county were made at a conference last week in Phoenix which was attended by representatives of the Bureau of Indian Service, members of the Tribal Council and representatives of agricultural, industrial and business interests. "Our reports indicate," said Graham, "that the Navajos have proved thoroughly satisfactory workers after they have learned their jobs and after the employers have learned how to deal with the Indians. Both employers and employees will have to learn something about their new jobs and Rent Boost Recommendation Is Rejected The increase of 20 per cent in the general rent level in Orange county recommended by the Orange county rent advisory board has been denied by National Housing Expediter Tighe E. Woods. He said the recommendation was not accompanied by the necessary substantiating evidence required by the Housing and Rent Act of 1947. The board had recommended the increase because of increased taxes, maintenance and other costs borne by landlords. Woods told the board that his initial was without prejudice to a consideration of the subject by the board and a new recommendation based upon inadequacies of the general rent level in the area. Despite the huge quantities of old taken from Sierra county,ologists are of the opinion twenty remains. State Issues Warning on Home Canned Foods (Western News Service) State food and drug inspectors have issued a general warning against the sale of home-canned, non-acid foods at roadside stands, fairs, and bazaars. The warning follows quarantine last month of 2,350 pounds of a rice product packed in Los Angeles without a canners license. The pack, prepared with the use of a hand operated steamer, cooked in a kitchen size pressure cooker, had been processed for marketing in connection with Japanese new year celebrations. HOWARD A. GREENE IS NOW LICENSED REALTOR Howard A. Greene, home builder, Rt. 4, 14702 Olive road, Anaheim, has qualified for a general contractors license, the contractors state license board announced today. The license will be issued within ten days unless written notice of protest is filed. Keep your eye on our classified ad section. Representatives of the Bureau of Indian Service, members of the Tribal Council and representatives of agricultural, industrial and business interests. "Our reports indicate," said Graham, "that the Navajos have proved thoroughly satisfactory workers after they have learned their jobs and after the employers have learned how to deal with the Indians. Both employers and employees will have to learn something about their new jobs and allow time for it." The first contingent of Indian agricultural workers will be housed at camps formerly housing Mexican nationals at the county insectary on East Vermont street, Anaheim, and at Tustin. The first party is expected to be the advance guard of several hundred for whom there will be jobs when the Valencia orange harvest begins in May. Graham expected that after all possible local help had been recruited there would be need for 2000 out of state workers in Orange county orchards and the Navajo reservations contain a great reservoir of manpower to draw upon. City Clerk Will Register Voters On Saturdays Ignoring the fact that he is on a 40-hour a week schedule, City Clerk Charles Griffith will be at his office in city hall every Saturday morning through February to registers those electors whose names are not yet on the great register, he announced this week. The immediate purpose is to get as many newcomers and young voters on the register as possible for the municipal election this spring. The final date for registering for that election is March 4.
