COLONY QUIPS All this war talk gets a trifle disconcerting at times. Frankly we get mighty tired of it because we feel that no country in the world, including our own, could fight a full scale war at the present time. The Soviets are probably a lot worse off than they would have us know. The sad affair in Czechoslovakia is almost the direct result of our own inept efforts when our armies were stopped at a line and left waiting there until the Russians came up. The Russians appeared and told these people that they were the ones who were lifting the Nazi yoke and also were keeping the barbarous Americans from taking over everything. Our higher officials let them get away with it with a cynical disregard to the later cost to the American people. We are wised up to all that and will take proper measures at the November election. Getting onto the ERP or Marshall plan it seems to us that we are attempting a material thing only and in that way open ourselves again to the nickname 'Uncle Shylock.' For all of our country's material blessings did not just happen. There was another intangible something that made this material well-being possible. We don't know just how to name it. Was it that America had a soul? Was it the ideal to make individuals free? Was it the individual freedom we have always had? Was it our faith in God? Was it our system of law, based on the Ten Commandments and Navel Prices At New High The naval market hit a new high average for this season last week. The demand continues fairly active, the market showing a further gain. The last Monday's sales reached the very satisfactory FOB average of $4.01. In some sections the current prices are considered high and, although not immediately apparent, observers believe resistance may develop in some spots. As of this week there seem to be less than 7500 cars of navels remained of interstate shipment. Weekly movement of the crop should not exceed the present rate unless the market shows it can absorb a heavier volume. Florida sold some 553 cars at auction which was an increase over the previous week of 25 per cent. The average delivered price was $3.20, a 21 cent decline. The trade is complaining about decay in the Florida midseason varieties but the first arrivals of their valencias have met with fair demand. They expect to ship around 2000 cars a week. Competition from western deciduous fruit chiefly apples. CITRUS INSTITUTE MUST PRODUCE The problems of the industry, as a must realize that acceptance be put before the consumer be returned to California heart of the day-long 20th tute held in the Anaheim Heads of the three which handle over 90 people were on hand to tell the Noted Editor Visits Anaheim George F. Nordenholt, editor of the magazine, Product Engineering, a trade journal published by McGraw-Hill, and a national known authority on new plant engineering visited the Annapolis plant of Electra-Motors, In 1110 North Lemon street. The magazine, which he edited already taken note and has added pictures and specification selves again to the nickname 'Uncle Shylock.' For all of our country's material blessings did not just happen. There was another intangible something that made this material well-being possible. We don't know just how to name it. Was it that America had a soul? Was it the ideal to make individuals free? Was it the individual freedom we have always had? Was it our faith in God? Was it our system of law, based on the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule? We don't know. Perhaps it was a combination of these and other ideals. Anyway something happened and life became better for all the people. Together with our dollars we had better find this out and send a large measure to the starving people of Europe. They need that intangible something just as much as they need our money. We had better sow some of the seed of our freedom than send a lot of the fruit of it. The fruit might spoil. Oscar Renner and August Schumacher have been serving people from all around this section for a matter of 55 years. That is a good long time and the 'Square Store' has continued to enjoy a reputation of square dealing since 1907 when these two took over for themselves. They remember the grape vine blight and when housewives used the dead vines for fuel in their stoves. They remember when grocery wagons started out with a load and came back with chickens, eggs, sheep hides and other produce for which they had traded the contents of their rigs. Crates beneath the wagon provided for the chickens. They remember when peddlers, dealing in small goods, went from door to door with a tray hanging from around their necks selling shoe strings, laces and embroideries. These men were walking notion counters. Today that has all changed and their store is a shining example of what has gone on in Anaheim during the years. Harry Horn has returned from a trip to his former home in Montana where he visited his father for a few days and has returned with his faith fully restored and at a new high in southern California. On his way up the train schedule gave him some free time in Butte and it was his pleasure to attend services in the Episcopal church there. Florida sold some 553 cars at auction which was an increase over the previous week of 25 percent. The average delivered price was $3.20, a 21 cent decline. The trade is complaining about decay in the Florida midseason varieties but the first arrivals of their valencias have met with fair demand. They expect to ship around 2000 cars a week. Competition from western deciduous fruit, chiefly apples, is being felt in citrus marketing. Many commission houses report that the holders of apples in storage are offering them on a consignment basis. For the week ending March 6th, on a delivered basis, the representative price by size of Sunkist navels was: 80s, $5.09; 100s, $6.02; 126s, $6.20; 150s, $6.30; 176s, $6.24; 200s, $5.93; 220s, $5.44; 252s, $4.90; 288s, $4.41; 392. Sewer Program Clears Hurdle The proposed county-wide sanitation program cleared one of its last remaining high hurdles this week with the announcement that Farm Bureau, major cities, sanitary districts and the county sanitary advisory board, which represents all interested groups, had approved, in principal, the 'limited participation plan.' This limited participation plan has not yet been worked out to the last detail but the substance is clear to all interested groups. Roughly it states that all contractual parties to the program will participate fully in the new outfall and all other works built to the seaward of the vicinity of Ellis avenue. The cities and various sanitary districts will build their own trunk and connecting lines when and if need arises. The rural areas not in need of sewage disposal in the immediate future will participate in some of the costs but the bill will be less than residential areas and cities which have a pressing need for the new program. Leaders in the agricultural industry have insisted that in being compelled to enter the original program they would be placed in the position of paying for a service they would have no need of for many years. They have now George F. Nordenholt, editor of the magazine, Product Engineering, a trade journal published McGraw-Hill, and a national known authority on new printing engineering visited the Annapolis plant of Electra-Motors, Inc., 1110 North Lemon street. The magazine, which he edited already taken note and has ed pictures and specifications the new style, light weight mould built in this city. This trip fororerunner of an extensive magazine which will go deeply into the new feature the Anaheim built product. To date there have been more than 20 nationally known publications which have run stories and stories about this year. The service said the indies faces: Curtailed production and revenues to farmers; unemployed among farm workers; tailed production in process plants, with additional unemployment; less money in circulation and a shortage of food while surplus is needed to feed hungry overseas. Members of the staff of the vice are pessimistic, calling attention to the fact there is a shortage in all sections of state, with little snow in the mountains and water tables dropping. A late winter storm, they would ease conditions only partly. Some winter vegetables been wiped out by the drought others are low in yield. In sections where irrigation water available crops are doing well officials say that growers are led to draw on water supplies a time when rain should be waiting their crops. In other localities growers been able to irrigate only once twice when three irrigations necessary. Harry Horn has returned from a trip to his former home in Montana where he visited his father for a few days and has returned with his faith fully restored and at a new high in southern California. On his way up the train schedule gave him some free time in Butte and it was his pleasure to attend services in the Episcopal church there. (We hope Rev. Saville reads this.) One of the members of the vestry of this church turned out to be a chief engineer of the Anaconda Copper Co. with whom Harry had some business dealings many years ago. As a lad of seven or eight years Harry used to deliver telegrams to this man. We hasten to add that that was before the day of singing telegrams. Which accounts for Harry not being thrown out of church. Harry reports that the snow and sleet was endless, that at first it was beautiful, but only at first. He heard a story up there about a poet who spent the winter in Montana and kept a diary. The diary started out to describe the beautiful patterns the snow made upon the limbs and branches of trees and went on for some pages in a highly poetic vein telling about the wonders of nature. Upon turning the last page there was only one line, in bold letters, which read: More d—ed snow. This year the country will be flooded with 50 or 60 million campaign buttons. You'll see them everywhere you turn. But try to find one the day after election—especially for the losing candidate. In spite of the threatened meat shortage we'll never have a shortage of "beef." The rural areas not in need of sewage disposal in the immediate future will participate in some of the costs but the bill will be less than residential areas and cities which have a pressing need for the new program. Leaders in the agricultural industry have insisted that in being compelled to enter the original program they would be placed in the position of paying for a service they would have no need of for many years. They have now agreed to the limited participation plan and when adopted are to pay some share of the cost of the main outfall line and have the privilege of connecting with it in the future. The present outfall sewer serves the cities of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana, the sanitary districts of Buena Park, Garden Grove, Placentia and La Habra. These members have favored full participation in the original plan of the county-wide sewer system. It has been indicated that under a limited-participation program, a satisfactory plan could be worked out with rural groups not being taxed to pay for immediate construction. Much work of installation of lines would be delayed until needed by growing communities. The county sanitation setup is just half completed, with five districts formed to serve Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach and environs of those communities. Yet to be formed are Dist. 2, which includes Orange, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Placentia, Brea and the east half of Fullerton; Dist. 3, made up of the west half of Fullerton, La Habra, Buena Park and extending to the Talbert district; No. 4, including Seal Beach and surrounding territory; (Continued on Page 8) CITRUS INSTITUTE TOLD GROWERS MUST PRODUCE BETTER FRUIT The problems of the citrus industry are not insoluble and the industry, as a whole, is prosperous, but producers must realize that acceptable fruit as to size and quality must put before the consumer before a satisfactory price can returned to California growers. That in substance was the start of the day-long 20th annual Orange county citrus institute held in the Anaheim high school auditorium last Friday. Heads of the three largest marketing organizations which handle over 90 per cent of the California citrus crop are on hand to tell their story and it was one of hope to the man with a top grove but of almost despair to the marginal land owner. All were in agreement that some costs could be reduced, but all were equally of the opinion that the marginal grower would be better off with his trees out and his land put to growing other crops. Radical departures in the methods of marketing citrus were shown to be of little value to the marginal land owner and fraught with a decided element of risk to the industry. The people and concerns who buy and sell the crop cannot be coerced into changing their methods of doing business. The basic law of supply and demand is keeping the market stable. Warren To Sign Daylight Saving Bill By Sunday Daylight saving time will become effective in California at 2:01 o'clock Sunday morning according to an edict expected to be signed by Gov. Earl Warren. During a press conference, Gov. Warren announced his intentions of okehing the bill early this week, his reasons being, he said, to give industry, business and the citizenship in general advance notice so that adjustments could be made. Of course, he pointed out, this assumes the bill will reach him by Saturday. There appeared little doubt the Senate would pass the Assembly measure immediately and start it on to the governor's office at once. To move the state clocks ahead one hour, the proposed act "is entirely in line with my thinking on the subject," stated Warren. Cecil Marks, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, said that his organization had fallen into line with the state farm bureau in not opposing the emergency clock-hand moving, although he... Visits Anaheim George F. Nordenholt, editor of the magazine, Product Engineer, at a trade journal published by Graw-Hill, and a nationally owned authority on new product engineering visited the Anaheim outfit of Electra-Motors, Inc., at 10 North Lemon street today. The magazine, which he edits, has already taken note and has print pictures and specifications of a new style, light weight motors put in this city. This trip is the runner of an extensive story appear in a later issue of the magazine which will go more deeply into the new features of Anaheim built product. To date there have been more than 20 nationally known trade publications which have run pictures and stories about the difference between curtailed production and less nuanced to farmers; unemployed among farm workers; curtailed production in processing plants, with additional unemployment; less money in circulation; a shortage of food when a plus is needed to feed the army overseas. Members of the staff of the service pessimistic, calling attention to the fact there is a water shortage in all sections of the river, with little snow in the mountains and water tables dropping. Late winter storm, they said, and ease conditions only partly. Some winter vegetables have been wiped out by the drought, others are low in yield. In some soils where irrigation water is available crops are doing well, but others say that growers are forced to draw on water supplies at times when rain should be water-heir crops. Other localities growers have been able to irrigate only once or twice when three irrigations were necessary. F. R. Wilcox, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, came out with the statement that he did not believe the outlook to be too black. That consumption could be increased to take care of increased production now in sight and this in spite of Texas and Florida competition. In the field of marketing and retail margins, Wilcox stated that this problem called for persuasive and not coercive action. He cited figures to show that since war time controls the margin in the retail store had gone from $2.50 per box, the margin allowed by OPA, to an average of around $1.87. Education of the retail trade by the marketing agencies to get more volume with less return per box was the best method to attack the problem in his view. Robbin Russel, sales manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, told the assembled growers that citrus now was classed with the staple varieties of food and that one of the chief deterrents to more use by the consumer was uncertain quality. Those growers who could not keep up to the industry average in volume and quality would have to drop out, he said, adding that even this large, prosperous industry could not carry the umbrella for uneconomic operators. The competitive invasion of the vast field of food distribution is too large an undertaking for the marketing budgets of the orange industry, he stated, and this great business, despite its shortcomings, displays a tremendous record of achievement. He urged the growers to study its operations and make constructive criticisms but argued against a revolutionary competitive institution. Doubt the Senate would pass the Assembly measure immediately and start it on to the governor's office at once. To move the state clocks ahead one hour, the proposed act "is entirely in line with my thinking on the subject," stated Warren. Cecil Marks, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, said that his organization had fallen into line with the state farm bureau in not opposing the emergency clock-hand moving, although he remarked that Orange county farmers continue to dislike daylight saving. "No benefits of the sort are needed here—happily. Our fundamental opposition to the unrealistic practice is unchanged but we hope that farmers to the north will get some benefits." Growers of garden vegetables who harvest by the sun, late in evening, and market early the next morning by the clock will be affected by the time shifting as will those raising crops like alfalfa and citrus where harvesting begins with the sun, when the dew is off. Quitting time must be advanced to 6 o'clock to get in the same number of hours of work, a practice to which workers object," Marks continued. Dairymen also dislike daylight saving since any disturbance in milkking tends to affect production. Cows object, farmers say, to being milked an hour early so that milk deliveries may continue to be made when the householder arises. Public Forum To Hear Major Cyr Major Paul Cyr, well known speaker and former Army man, will be guest speaker at the Public Forum meeting at the high school auditorium next Monday evening, March 15, the meeting to open at 7:30 o'clock. Major Cyr was one of General Donovan's "Cloak and Dagger" boys and the first American to be dropped behind German lines in France. "World Espionage" will be the speakers topic for the meeting and will be full of thrills, drama and humor with a timely message for his listeners. All public forum meetings are free of charge and the public is urged to attend these meetings.

Citrus Growers School Announcement The Agricultural Extension vice announces the opening their Citrus Growers School Wednesday, March 17th. Anaheim high school in and on Thursday, March 18th. The Willard Junior high Santa Ana. The school will each Wednesday and for eight weeks. The same subject will sent each week in Anaheim Santa Ana. The Anaheim School will be for northern county growers for southern Orange counties. The school will start early at 7:30 p.m. in both Santa Ana, according E. Puffer, assistant farmer. The purpose of this school teach the fundamentals of using citrus. The lectures will be designed for new students to the citrus school. Hobbyist Likes Anaheim Police Farm Insignia Whole-hearted approval of the most insignia worn by members of the Anaheim Police department is given by an enthusiastic gardener of departmental older patches. This revelation received by Police Chief Mark Stephenson of this city Monroe from a 16-year-old youngster New York, who is confined to wheel-chair, the youth, Joe McDermott, Jr., 54, 247th street, Bellerose 6, York, who was stricken with tetralaxis when six years found unique diversion in colling police insignias. His hobby came to the attention of New York police chief who is a feature story about the eager for the International Association of Chiefs of Police maga-ton request, Chief Stephenson the youngster a local insignia was rewarded with a letter which read in part, "There are three other insignias in my fiction that can match yours." Before the article appeared in official magazine the boy had department patches. His colon has swelled to 161, he dis- Romer Johnson, sales manager of the American Fruit Growers, looked for considerably less volume of Orange county valencias this year. He also thought that substantially higher prices would be obtained this year over last. The present navel market shows a satisfactory price and the price differential over that of Florida is larger than last year. A. G. Salter and R. E. Puffer, farm advisor and assistant farm advisor for San Bernardino and Orange counties respectively, both stated flatly that the grower who did not find himself in a competitive position as far as production and quality was concerned must consider himself just about out of the picture, that he would have little chance of winning out. Production of less than 250 boxes of fruit to the acre must be regarded as marginal, the trees pulled out and the land planted to some other crop, it was said. The grower would know by his returns whether or not his land was marginal and this land must disappear from the citrus picture before the industry can achieve full health, it was concluded. The morning session was dominated by the reading of papers on cultural methods and care chiefly by research men from the citrus experiment station at Riverside. In summing up observations (Continued on Page 8) Less Parking Space Will Come With New Signals The elimination of diagonal parking the entire length of Center street, within city limits, will come just before the installation of traffic signals at the Center and Lemon street intersection by the State Division of Highways, in the near future, it was announced during the city council meeting, city hall, Tuesday night. Although the state is in charge of all financial and installation arrangements for the signals on the crossing which is State Highway, Route 178, the city of Anaheim will be responsible for changing the parking meters for parallel parking. The innovation will cause 40 per cent less parking space, it is estimated. The city's expenditures from February 16 to 29, inclusive, totalled $27,579 leaving a balance in the general fund of $67,915.31. Total funds in the city treasury are $301,422.19, according to the report of A. G. Tuma, city treasurer. Due and payable are the second installment taxes for 1947-48. There are $260,074.72 due currently. Taxes collected since November 1 to the first of this month total $91,902.63. A small delinquency of $616.84 remains (Continued on Page 8) To Launch Red Cross Fund Drive Next Tuesday Next Tuesday the annual Red Cross Fund drive in Anaheim will get underway officially, A. J. Schutte, drive chairman, announced to members of the board during the regular meeting at the city hall, Wednesday night of last week. This year's local quota is $9400. Last minute details are being arranged for distributing folders to captains and their teams. Last year 200 solicitors worked throughout the city in conjunction with the national drive of the philanthropic organization. Mrs. Mary Jane Anderson, blood donor chairman, announced that the chapter's first blood typing day will be next Monday evening, March 22, in the Ebell club house from 6:30 to 9:30 o'clock. A nutrition representative from the San Francisco area office spent two days at the chapter office during the month and highly commended the work being done by Mrs. E. H. Kersten, nutrition chairman, and her committee, it was disclosed. Sewing is keeping production THE S.Q.R. STORE CELEBRATES 41st YEAR IN BUSINESS HERE County Allocates Money To Sewerage Plan The county board of supervisors on Tuesday allocated the balance of the Construction and Employment Act, Chapter 20, fund, amounting to over $550,000 to the county-wide sanitation program. This act of the state legislature of 1946 allocated $845,841.57 to Orange county of which $287,724.48 was earmarked for roads and the balance of $558,117.09 to other improvements. Balance of the fund, by a vote of 4 to 1 of the board, earmarked this $550 thousand for the construction of outfall sewers, providing that districts are formed generally as in the resolution of intention. This action gives the county-wide sewage disposal its forty-one years ago Oscar Renner and August Schumacher opened the S. Q. R. Store and invited the public to come in and trade with them. That was the middle of March, 1907. These two men had long experience before opening their own store in serving the Anaheim public. Their memories, vivid with the colorful history of early Anaheim, go way back through the 'Gay Nineties.' They have built a business, large in scope, that has and will continue to serve this section well. When asked about those days Mr. Renner smiled and said: "The gay nineties were not so gay after all. We ran a business without the telephone, gas, electricity, typewriters and we had no women clerks. The stores were dimly lit by kerosene lamps. The streets had no paving and each storekeeper tended not only the wooden walk but also the dirt street in front of the establishment. When it rained, as it sometimes did then, we had to pile straw out in the street so the vehicles would not get stuck." donor chairman, announced that the chapter's first blood typing day will be next Monday evening, March 22, in the Ebell club house from 6:30 to 9:30 o'clock. A nutrition representative from the San Francisco area office spent two days at the chapter office during the month and highly commended the work being done by Mrs. E. H. Kersten, nutrition chairman, and her committee, it was disclosed. Sewing is keeping production workers busy each Tuesday at the chapter rooms. Lunch is being served to the seamstresses by the canteen committee headed by Mrs. M. A. Gauer. A first aid class will begin tonight (Thursday) at 7:30 o'clock at the grade school at Cypress, Miss Madge Sproul, First Aid chairman, reported. For home service, Mrs. P. M. Wheeler, executive-secretary, reported 49 cases opened during the month, nine of which were new and two which were re-opened. Financial assistance was given five veterans and one serviceman. Eight home calls were made. The chapter arranged for the fiancee of a veteran, coming from England, to be met in New York and started on her journey to Anaheim. Assistance was also given to families who are having the bodies of sons returned for burial, she said. Citrus Growers School Announced The Agricultural Extension Service announces the opening of their Citrus Growers School on Wednesday, March 17th at the Anaheim high school in Anaheim and on Thursday, March 18th at the Willard Junior high school in Santa Ana. The school will be held each Wednesday and Thursday for eight weeks. The same subject will be presented each week in Anaheim and Santa Ana. The Anaheim Citrus School will be for northern Orange county growers and the Santa Ana Citrus School will be for southern Orange county growers. The school will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. in both Anaheim and Santa Ana, according to R. E. Puffer, assistant farm advisor. The purpose of this school is to teach the fundamentals of growing citrus. The lectures and discussions will be designed for growers now to the citrus industry. This act of the state legislature of 1946 allocated $845,841.57 to Orange county of which $287,724.48 was earmarked for roads and the balance of $558,117.09 to other improvements. Balance of the fund, by a vote of 4 to 1 of the board, earmarked this $550 thousand for the construction of outfall sewers, providing that districts are formed generally as in the resolution of intention. This action gives the county-wide sewage disposal its greatest impetus to date and indicates the awareness of the board to the tremendous need of a sanitation program for adequate disposal works. The present facilities are being questioned by the state health authorities as evidenced by a meeting, called by them, which is meeting today to explore and determine what progress is being made in Orange county to safeguard health by adequate disposal works. The state health department has long been interested in having corrective measures taken to alleviate the over-crowded condition of our outfall lines. Tuesday's action will go a long way to show that progress is being made and that the county is cognizant of the need. As the county-wide plan is at present set up every district formed will participate in the cost of the outfall end of the line and this is where the Chapter 20 money will, in most part, be used. This will tend, not only to help each district, but also to keep our beaches clean and perhaps save an action, in the future, by the health authorities similar to the one last year in Los Angeles county when they quarantined stretches of beach frontage. Appreciation Day Awards Go To Local Citizens Out of a possible $225 award in the Appreciation Day "treasure chest" of merchandise values, Mrs. Porfiria Soto, 320 South Palm street, won $23 or 5 per cent prize, yesterday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock in front of the Bank of America building, East Center street. She was given the award when E. E. Claussen of 12235 Cerritos avenue, and Mrs. L. Hessel, 319 West Center street, failed to appear. Gay nineties were not so gay after all. We ran a business without the telephone, gas, electricity, typewriters and we had no women clerks. The stores were dimly lit by kerosene lamps. The streets had no paving and each storekeeper tended not only the wooden walk but also the dirt street in front of the establishment. When it rained, as it sometimes did then, we had to pile straw out in the street so the vehicles would not get stuck. The working hours?" he continued, "they were terrible. As a teenager I worked from 6:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday until 10 p.m. That was the big night, the town radiated with activity. The streets, and alleys too, were jammed with buggies, horses, people and dogs. People crowded into town to shop and renew acquaintances. When shopping they found no lingerie or ready to wear. We carried no shoes except in widths 'E' and 'double E' but everyone seemed to get along. Ladies' hose came only in black cotton but in those days nobody got a chance to see them anyway. They were great days and I like to look back on them." Dating back to 1883 when Samuel Federman came to Anaheim and conducted a store in the Kroeger building in the center of the first block on West Center street, the S. Q. R. Store has grown with the city of Anaheim and today cherishes the reputation of being one of the finest merchandising establishments in Orange county. In 1888, Mr. Federman erected his own building at the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, the present location of the offices of Dr. J. W. Truxaw on the second floor, and conducted his business at that location until he sold to two young men who had decided to embark upon a business venture for themselves. Back in 1907, these two young men who had grown to young manhood in Anaheim, joined hands in their greatest venture, purchasing the clothing store from Mr. Federman that year. These two young men were August E. Schumacher and Oscar H. Renner, present owners of the S. Q. R. Store, doing business as partners all these years, growing with the city each year. Renner himself had been employed by Federman in 1892 and remained with the concern until he and his partner purchased the business. And now, after 41 years, the S. Q. R. Store still enjoys prosperity. Santa Ana. The Anaheim Citrus School will be for northern Orange county growers and the Santa Ana Citrus School will be for southern Orange county growers. The school will start promptly at 7:30 p.m. in both Anaheim and Santa Ana, according to R. E. Puffer, assistant farm advisor. The purpose of this school is to teach the fundamentals of growing citrus. The lectures and discussions will be designed for growers new to the citrus industry, but many old-time growers will be interested in reviewing some of the information which has been developed over the years. The first hour will be devoted to lectures and demonstrations, followed by a 30 minute period for discussion and questions. The school will close each night at 1:00 p.m. New growers in this area will receive special benefit from this school. The eight sessions will be given on the following dates: March 17-18, "Introduction to the Citrus School"—“Soils”; March 14-25, “Principles of Tree Growth”—“Nucellar Buds”—“Rootstock and Bud Selection”; March 31-April 1, “Citrus Fertilization”; April 7-8, “Citrus Irrigation”; April 14-15, “Tillage Practices”—Non-Cultivation"; April 21-22, Citrus Diseases”—“Frost Protection”；April 28-29, “Citrus Insects and Pests and Their Control,” and in May 5-6, “Care of Replants”—Citrus Pruning and Windbreaks”—“Citrus Cost Studies.” San Luis Obispo county is the didewater terminal for several oil pipe lines from the San Joaquin Valley. Chromite, a strategic mineral used during the war, is found in substantial quantities in Sierra County. Gazette Want Ads Bring Results. Out of a possible $225 award in the Appreciation Day “treasure chest” of merchandise values, Mrs. Porfiria Soto, 320 South Palm street, won $23 or 5 per cent prize, yesterday afternoon, at 2:30 o’clock in front of the Bank of America building, East Center street. She was given the award when E. E. Claussen of 12235 Cerritos avenue, and Mrs. L. Hessel, 319 West Center street, failed to appear. Consolation prize of an all-wool blanket from J. C. Penney company, valued at $25, went to Mrs. Anna Rice, 517 South Los Angeles street. Larry Baker, 5, personable son of Mrs. Florence Baker, 216 South West street, chose the winners. Announcing special features being offered by Anaheim merchants backing the promotional stunt was Gabbert Stephens, special events and sports announcer of Radio Station KVOE, Santa Ana. Dorrel Furniture Company and the Anaheim Refrigeration Company are two additional members of the Appreciation Day sponsors. RED CROSS FUND DRIVE STARTS TUESDAY As announced elsewhere in the columns of the Gazette, the Red Cross Fund Drive will start next Tuesday.
