LOOKING BACKWARD By C. E. HOLCOMB SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS EXCHANGE From the Anaheim Gazette April 27, 1893, at the meeting of fruit growers held at Los Angeles a few days ago, a committee was appointed to formulate a plan for the marketing of the orange crop. The necessity of co-operation on some basis is patent to everyone. The committee has drafted a plan which is published below. It is very desirous that this plan should be fully discussed by and explained to the growers in order to determine as early as possible whether co-operation can be accomplished. Meetings were held at Tustin and Orange yesterday and today. Meetings will be held at Fullerton at one o'clock p.m. and in this city at 7:30 p.m. Members of the committee will be present for the purpose of explaining the proposed plan, and it is especially requested that every one interested in citrus fruits be present to take in the discussion. The committee is composed of the following gentlemen, W. M. McFadden of Placentia, J. D. Reynolds of Los Angeles, P. J. Dreher of Pomona, Dr. G. Hyer of Ontario and T. H. B. Chamblin of Riverside. They met at Pomona, and adopted the following plan to co-operate the Orange Growers of Southern California, the purpose being to provide for the lowest possible cost under uniform methods and tree. The culls of each variety for each day's packing to be weighed and an account kept separately. The percentage of culls of each variey to be determined at the close of the season. The same percentage to be deducted from the total delivery made by each member, for corresponding varieties of fruit, and final settlement made with each member by the pound for each variety as the total receipts may show. The books and correspondence of each association shall be in the name of the association, and in connection with the brand, shall be the property of the association's respectively. Each member of said association shall have access to any of said books or correspondence at any and all times. For cause determined to the whole, or in case of damage to any crop, the members of any of said associations may, by a two-thirds vote, exclude such orchard, in whole or in part, from participating in said association upon the community basis for the current season. And the said association shall handle the same for the separate and sole account of the owner. Each member hereby agreeing that any fruit so damaged or set apart shall be marketed under the control and direction of said association, the proceeds from sales of fruit to be distributed pro rata from time to time as the management of said association may direct. The selling shall be done under a system of brokerage which shall not exceed 5 cents a box on all varieties of fruit, said brokerage to apply only to f.o.b. sales. Orders shall be pro-rated among the associations, so as to keep the fruit moving proportionately. To this end a central office shall be established in each district. LA HABRA NEWS Miss Rae Yvonne McCamish daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. Clayton McCamish, 315 North Lost street this city, became the bride of James U. Haseltine, son of Mrs Bryan Haseltine, 609 South Hiatte street, Saturday evening, April 1 at 7:30 in the Church of Christ. The double ring ceremony was read by Rev. H. B. Hollingsworth. The church was decorated with baskets of calla lillies and candelabra. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a dress of ivory slipper satin, but toned down the back, with long sleeves, bateau-neckline and from peplum extending into the train an off-the-face veil of white net a locket belonging to her mother and a ring belonging to her grandmother. The bouquet was a white orchid on a white Bible. Mrs. June Hamilton, sister of the bride, was matron of honor and wore a gown of yellow-gold slipper satin with matching headpiece, and carried a heart-shaped bouquet of green net and pink gladioli. The bridesmaids, Miss La Verda Anglin and Miss Barbara Harper, were gowned in light green slipper satin with matching heart-shaped headdresses, and carried identical heart-shaped bouquets of yellow net and pink gladioli. The dresses of all the attendants were patterned after the bride's except for cap many a grower received payment for a car load of oranges in postage stamps, because after deducting packing, shipping and commissions, the proceeds were so small and it being the rule of the commission firms to not issue checks in less than one hundred dollar amounts, necessitated these postage stamp payments. The committee is composed of the following gentlemen, W. M. McFadden of Placentia, J. D. Reynolds of Los Angeles, P. J. Dreher of Pomona, Dr. G. Hyer of Ontario and T. H. B. Chamblin of Riverside. They met at Pomona, and adopted the following plan to co-operate the Orange Growers of Southern California, the purpose being to provide for the lowest possible cost under uniform methods and in a manner to secure each grower a certain marketing of his fruit and the full average price to be obtained during the entire season. The committee agreed upon the following plan, and submit it for the adoption by the growers generally, and invite the attention of every grower as necessary to the success of the undertaking: The committee recommended that districts be formed as follows: 1. Riverside county. 2. All of San Bernardino county east of Cucamonga. 3. Cucamonga, Ontario, Pomona, Claremont and San Dimas. 4. That portion of Los Angeles county north of the Southern Pacific railroad and east of the Los Angeles river. 5. The remainder of Los Angeles county. 6. Orange county. 7. San Diego county. 8. Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Organize as many associations as may be necessary in each district to embrace as nearly as possible the sections having identical interests and grades of fruit. Each of said associations to establish a purely local brand, without individual or company name attached, under which the different grades of oranges in said association shall be packed respectfully. Each association to do its own packing. Each of said associations shall choose from their own members, three who shall constitute an executive committee. He shall receive such compensation as the association may determine and shall be the only salaried officer. He shall have general oversight of the affairs of the association subject to the executive committee. The executive committee and managers shall constitute a board of control, who shall determine all questions of management, unless otherwise ordered by two-thirds the membership of the association. Each association shall have the privilege of fixing its own price of fruit to be distributed pro rata from time to time as the management of said association may direct. The selling shall be done under a system of brokerage which shall not exceed 5 cents a box on all varieties of fruit, said brokerage to apply only to f.o.b. sales. Orders shall be pro-rated among the associations, so as to keep the fruit moving proportionately. To this end a central office shall be established in each district, where all telegrams and correspondence shall be delivered and where the said managers in each district shall meet daily and transact the necessary business, it being understood that each shall have access to all telegrams and correspondence. An executive committee for southern California shall be composed of one member from each district, which shall have charge of all affairs in general, and establish a pro rata among the districts, recommend the amount of fruit to be moved from time to time and equalize the prices. The organization of what is now known as the California Fruit Growers Exchange was brought about largely through the efforts of P. J. Dreher of Pomona and T. H. B. Chamblin of Riverside. As the writer recalls, Mr. Dreher was head of a pioneer association of orange growers at Pomona and in 1892 or 1893 shipped the first car load of oranges, Washington navels, to London, England. Mr. Dreher was a very capable, forceful, business executive and the success of the California Orange Growers Association was largely due to his efforts and determination. This month of April is the 55th anniversary of the preliminary steps taken to form a practical cooperative marketing association of the citrus growers of California. Prior to this the growers had depended upon private fruit commission firms to market their products and during the early '90's, many a grower received payment for a car load of oranges in postage stamps, because after deducting packing, shipping and commissions, the proceeds were so small and it being the rule of the commission firms to not issue checks in less than one hundred dollar amounts, necessitated these postage stamp payments. The large commission shippers allotted certain sections or orange districts to certain shippers so as to avoid competition in handling the fruit. W. M. McFadden was very active in the formation in both the orange and walnut growers cooperative marketing organizations, so also were A. McDermont, S. F. Daniels, Sydmer Ross, L. B. Benchley, W. J. Fay, J. P. Zeyn, C. G. McKinley and many others. The fortunes made by the orange and lemon growers later are due to the pioneer growers who believed that the "Lord helps those who help themselves," and organized a successful marketing organization and marketed their own products.

Latest big news that come out affecting the Army and Air Force is the granting of permanent rank to all members of both units now holding temporary grades. As of 31 March, 1948, all regular Army and regular Air Force non-comissioned officers will be considered to hold permanent warrants, and promotions subsequent will be considered permanent. Also among the latest dope from Washington is the disappointing news that the new Air Force uniform has been dropped. The House of Representatives by a vote of 72 to 48 struck from the bill (H.R. 6055) funds to provide for such a uniform. Representative Scrivner of Kansas was joined by other members in opposing any plan which would authorize a uniform that would be different from the Ground Forces, saying that a distinctive uniform for the Air Force would greatly intensify rivalry and jealousy among the other branches. Too bad, most of the boys around the office here had counted on breaking out in fine new neon suits. A former Army Air Force veteran Charles H. Lewis, who resides with his wife and daughter at 113 Alberta street, Anaheim, is one of the recent enlistees in the lan Heet as temporary chairman.

It takes power, and lots of it, to push millions of telephone calls through our complex equipment every day. We buy our electricity, as you do, from public service sources. But to make sure calls keep going through in emergencies, we have many motor-driven standby generators to supply our own power when necessary. 2. Giant batteries...or many smaller ones catch the "juice" and release it as the direct current that sends your voice over our system. The number of calls we're handling today makes even these huge reserves run down quickly. They must be charged continually from public power sources or our own emergency generators. 3. When you pick up your telephone, you put electricity to work as it gives your voice a lift along wires and through switching panels. It takes little power to handle one call. But handling millions takes a lot. It makes us one of the West's big users of electricity. And it all adds up as part of our cost of furnishing telephone service. Your telephone is more valuable today than ever before. For since 1940, telephones on the Coast have increased 75%. Today you reach more people...more people can get in touch with you. Each new telephone added makes your telephone a more valuable servant.
