COLONY QUIPS In the current private hearing in Los Angeles there has been a mass of legal and technical verbage handed out that to the ordinary individual (maybe we should speak for ourselves) is unintelligible. Hidden under this mass of double talk and being put forward by Orange county packing-house managers is the simple proposition that we want the right to ship our valencias when they are mature under the state standards. Last year we were held out of the market for at least three weeks and then faced a situation brought on by a great deal of frozen fruit shipped east by the northern California growers which made buyers turn up their noses at oranges period. No matter how good our fruit was the eastern consumer was just not having any. When they finally found out just how good Orange county valencias were the market immediately came up to a satisfactory level. But the damage had already been done and it has been conservatively estimated that this condition cost the Orange county grower at least 20 cents a box last season. That kind of money is simply too rich for us to stand—at least last year. This same thing was being thought about some years ago but due to the war and ceiling prices coming on the plan was not pressed. The houses now in the picture are members of all the different marketing agencies and their plans are not the broader ones of the Navel Market Not Improved The navel orange market again showed no improvement in price during the week ending April 10. Contrary to the week previous, the volume increased approximately 65 cars. The heavy Florida shipments of oranges continued to exert an unfavorable influence on the market. Reports reaching west coast orange shippers indicate Florida growers are greatly concerned over their market at this time as evidenced by a substantial reduction in shipments from that state from their peak movement of 2800 cars during the week of March 20 to 1700 cars during the week ending April 3. This reduction in volume from Florida should result in an improvement in their market and this, in turn, would bolster the California orange market. In order to hasten an improvement in the market, the Orange Administrative Committee set the Prorate Hearings 'Colossal' Old Models to Parade A cavalcade straight out of pages of automobile history pass through Anaheim on Saturday, April Thirty or more ancient vehicles, driven by members of the Horseless Carriage Club, be seen as they chug bravely three day tour of southern fornia cities. Maxwells, Locomobiles, mons, Queens, Pope Toledos, Steamers, and even an old vehicle bearing the name of Sears buck, are scheduled to form interesting display. The cars should arrive in heim about 12:00 noon, where will be a short stop for fueling and mechanical attention at one of General Leeum's Mobilgas stations. Residents of Anaheim are to turn out to see these ample old timers and their intl pilots. Judge Raymond Thompson enter the caravan at Riverside Saturday morning driving his Maxwell. Another Orange man to join the group will Frank Kane of Fullerton whi tively estimated that this condition cost the Orange county grower at least 20 cents a box last season. That kind of money is simply too rich for us to stand—at least last year. This same thing was being thought about some years ago but due to the war and ceiling prices coming on the plan was not pressed. The houses now in the picture are members of all the different marketing agencies and their plans are not the broader ones of the agencies, designed to cover the whole state, but are pointed to the immediate needs of Orange county. With our better fruit, better land and better climate we were forced to carry an expensive umbrella for the rest of the producing area last year. It cost us more than we could afford. The city election being over the boys around town will have to go back to paying for their own coffee. The game of making the candidate pay the bill is all over now. The June election is a bit too far away to do the boys any good right now. But let the candidates beware. If they come to Anaheim we expect them to bring along a little spending money. That is coffee dough as in doughnut. Superior California has been relieved of its 'brown-out' brought on by the lack of 'dew' which, in turn, they used in the legislature to make us fellow sufferers by putting the whole state under that relic of the war, daylight-saving time. This part of the state because of its abundance of power had to ladle some up north and the d.s.t. was supposed to save it here without resorting to a brown-out. The hook-up, made during the war, could only carry a small amount which made no difference to southern California's supply. It all looks futile now but we still have d.s.t. The north still refers to itself as 'superior' California. 'Superior' just means farther north down here. Did you know that Anaheim was one of the first cities to put the income of parking meters in a separate fund to create off-street parking for shoppers? Our meters will soon be all paid for and then the whole revenue will be used to buy and equip the added parking lots we have planned. Several of our neighboring cities have seen the light and think they will do the same thing. Pretty nice to live cars during the week of March 20 to 1700 cars during the week ending April 3. This reduction in volume from Florida should result in an improvement in their market and this, in turn, would bolster the California orange market. In order to hasten an improvement in the market, the Orange Administrative Committee set the (Continued on Page 8) Prorate Hearings Show Problems Heads of various marketing groups were informed by a majority of Orange county packing houses that they would not tolerate any effort by those central agencies to vote for them in the making of new rules for the marketing of their fruit in the new prorate set-up. This occurred in the hearing before the United States Department of Agriculture currently being held in Los Angeles to examine the Orange Marketing Agreement, better known as the prorate. In relation to the California Fruit Growers Exchange there were 20 out of 23 houses in Orange county belonging to that agency who made the flat statement to the examining officer, that, in the matter of prorate, the Sunkist organization should not be accepted as representing the position of its Orange county members. The amendments ratified by the Exchange's board of directors, printed in this newspaper last week, altering the present prorate law, were opposed strongly by the Orange county group. Spearheading the attack were Robert Dowling, Placentia Mutual Orange Association, Jack Prizr, Placentia Orange Growers Association and Bob Gross of the big Santiago house in Orange. Both Gross and Prizer made it clear that they were not opposed to proration but only to way in which it was administered. They pointed out that the Exchange's 20 per cent elimination plan would make it possible for many houses to dump their frozen fruit and force the grower of good fruit to pay for the damaged oranges. This in effect, it was stated, would compel the grower with $4000 an (Continued on Page 8) West Anaheim Fire Station Formal That the proposed bond and tax increase plan which signed to improve school facilities may be explained by board members and discussed informally meeting pertinent to all pays and taxpayers in the Anaheim elementary school system is on for April 23, at 7:30 p.m., in Fremont Junior high school torium.

Stabbert, O Vincent Borden, chairman Harry Fox and school superintendent M. A. Gauer, at the meeting attended by interested citizens P.-T.A. representatives and members of the press. The over-all plan calls for $462,300 for building improvements to be bonded at $225 with the remainder to be made with an increased bond rate over a period of five years. This program allots $117,300 Benjamin Franklin school; $400 to Horace Mann, and $195 to Broadway school. The board agreed to have valves to prevent backflow sewage at Broadway schools stalled immediately, and to doors put on the girls' rest rooms. Controversy arose at the time over the present teacher wage scale schedule. Several citizens expressed dissatisfaction cause the present system allow emergency teacher to draw a year and does not make provision for an instructor with a degree estimated that this condition cost the Orange county grower at least 20 cents a box last season.

Visitors are welcome from 2 to 9 o'clock that afternoon and evening, it was announced. The completion of this building with the addition of a modern late model fire truck fulfills the dreams of 20 firemen organized into a volunteer group more than seven years ago. Clyde Finley of West Anaheim has been chief during this period of time. At the outbreak of the recent war the volunteers were taken into the state division of forestry where they had extensive and specialized training. During their service with the division, the group planned the firehall to house modern equipment for the West Anaheim area. After these years, at regular weekly meetings, the group donated to the area, the building and truck. All residents of Orange-thorpe, Loara, Magnolia, Savanna and Centralia school districts are being given a special invitation to attend Tuesday's open house. Personnel will conduct visitors on tours of the plant, answer questions and explain new service methods effective in combating fires. Refreshments of coffee and donuts will be served. Controversy arose at the time ing over the present teacher wage scale schedule. Several citizens expressed dissatisfaction cause the present system allow emergency teacher to draw a year and does not make provision for an instructor with a degree to receive more per person. There is not enough incense therefore, for teachers to act as the higher teaching credential speaker stated. They thought B.A. teacher should get $250 per year. Dislike for one year teacher experience credit for every spent outside the local elementary system, was also shown by attending. A $100 blanket increase suggested, using the 1947-48 by Borden. Stabbert proposed the whole schedule be scrapped and a new non-discriminant plan drawn.

The date was set during regular board meeting at that school Tuesday night. The near half-million dollar investment and improvement program was discussed by board members H. H. Stabbert, clerk; Kent Borden, chairman and Gary Fox and school superintendent M. A. Gauer, at the meeting led by interested citizens, A. representatives and members of the press. The over-all plan calls for $1,300 for building improvements to be bonded at $224,500 the remainder to be made up with an increased bond and tax over a period of five years. This program allots $117,300 toamin Franklin school; $102,to Horace Mann, and $198,700 broadway school.

Visitors are welcome any day and throughout the school week. Sanitation Plans Agreement Seen Final drafts of sanitation plans for Orange county seem to have reached a stage where all concerned are more or less in agreement. The county advisory committee on sanitation has agreed on plans for the formation of proposed districts 2, 3 and 7 as set forth in the 'limited participation' plan. These contain large rural areas and provide for ceiling tax rates in these districts, which will participate only in the construction of ocean outfall and joint treatment works. More representation of rural areas on sanitation district boards is also pledged. Since supporters of the agreement by the advisory committee include leaders of the agricultural groups that have objected to full participation in construction and operating costs of the proposed districts, the agreement is regarded as being acceptable to the agricultural areas, opening the way for speedy action for forming the three districts, which could be done either by action of the board of supervisors or by submitting the proposals to vote of the people. The agreement reached by the advisory committee after a long period of conferences, debate and study, remains to be ratified by representative groups before it is binding, according to wording of the text itself. Requests of agricultural areas for a ceiling on tax rates and for larger representation upon the sanitation district boards of directors are met by the agreement, which fixes a ceiling of 10 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for Dist. 2, 12 cents for Dist. 3 and 10 cents for Dist. 7. The agreement pledges the signatories to seek revision of legislation to provide greater representation for unincorporated territory on the district boards than is provided under the present state sanitation district act. The agreement is said to give the agricultural areas substantially what they advocated under the "A district" plan, by which these rural areas would not have had an active part of the sanitation district. It eliminates the complication of multiple districts. Launch Appreciation Anaheim was an excellent according to Mrs. W.

Several cities expressed dissatisfaction because the present system allows an emergency teacher to draw $2400 year and does not make provision for an instructor with a B.A. fee to receive more per year. There is not enough incentive before, for teachers to acquire higher teaching credential, the keeper stated. They thought a teacher should get $2500 per year. $100 blanket increase wasvested, using the 1947-48 plan, Borden. Stabbert proposed that whole schedule be scrapped in a new non-discriminatory drawn. The board as a group need and will ask Eldon Hauck, president of the Anaheim Teach-club to bring in a new plan. Mrs. Jean Thompson, Fremont high school instructor, will given a $300 wage adjustment salary per year since she is do-supervisor's work, the board added. Wesley A. Rupp, school bus driver, will receive $240 in addition to his present salary per year, he voted. The board okehed a request for New Pure Tone method for conducting hearing tests. The pres-machine used in the schools is years old. The new one may purchased for $270. It was agreed by the board to Miss Vera Gilbert, R.N., asool nurse for $3000 per year. She had been associated with the city system previously. Miss Union high school's open house program will begin April 26, in the auditorium at 7:30 p.m., and at Fremont Junior high school, April 27, same time, in its auditorium. Field day and open house at Broadway elementary school, 412 East Broadway, will be May 28, when annual sports events and exhibits of school work will be displayed.

The agreement is said to give the agricultural areas substantially what they advocated under the "A district" plan, by which these rural areas would not have had an active part of the sanitation district. It eliminates the complication of multiple districts. Upon the agreement, all areas of the sanitation district would participate equally in the cost of constructing the ocean outfall, the joint treatment plant, and joint disposal trunk lines, these being facilities used by all of the sanitation districts. Tentatively it is indicated the trunk lines for the three districts would be constructed under this plan as far north from the ocean as Ellis Ave. However, the limit of construction will be set by the ceiling tax rates defined for the three districts, the ceiling to be effective for the 40-year period of design. It then would be up to the cities, sanitary districts and other sewered areas within the sanitation district to construct their own works for carrying their sewage to the facilities built by the district as a whole. As new communities develop in the present rural areas and require sewage, they could organize to provide their own collection system and either construct trunk lines to the joint facilities or contract with existing sanitary districts or cities to connect with existing systems. Operation and maintenance costs of all sewer system would be paid exclusively by users of the systems, under the agreement just announced, this being another concession to the rural areas, which objected to being taxed for facilities not used or needed by the rural areas.
