COLONY QUIPS The press of other matters has kept our attention focused on several other matters for the past few weeks and just now, a bit late, we come to a spot where a resume of some of the things that took place at Balboa during Easter week might not be amiss. The Bacchannal at 'Bal,' is the teenagers concept of Easter and takes place during the Easter vacation. This year the hot rod borne battalions converged on the harbor area by the thousands. Packed in promiscuously like sardines, they were bunched in rooms like bananas. They slept on the beaches, in garages, in cars. Police arrested 170 in the first 24 hours alone, for a variety of crimes ranging all the way from speeding intoxication. By mid-week over 250 names were on the police blotter. The wildest parties were reported along Pearl avenue on Balboa Island. The police were able to protect themselves somewhat better this year by operating in squads, although one officer suffered a broken nose, when slugged, and another pulled a ligament in his leg when forced to blackjack a drunken youth while breaking up a fight. One middle aged householder said he wanted to remonstrate with the celebrants over depredations on his lawn, but was afraid to come out of his house "because they would stomp me to death." Each generation thinks things ter this year by operating in squads, although one officer suffered a broken nose, when slugged, and another pulled a ligament in his leg when forced to blackjack a drunken youth while breaking up a fight. One middle aged householder said he wanted to demonstrate with the celebrants over depredations on his lawn, but was afraid to come out of his house "because they would stomp me to death." Each generation thinks things have changed "since grandma was a girl," but sex and liquor mixed in liberal doses during teen-age years, have a tendency to make the same individuals petulant a few years later when society suggests an investment in matrimony and baby buggies. The number of organizations now in operation designed to combat juvenile delinquency is appalling. Despite their efforts, the design of living in the adolescents is hardly simple. The state, the church and the school can only help. The cure goes back to the family. All we need is a good dose of old fashioned home. The job of teaching our youngsters how to be good citizens is second to hone in importance. How well or how badly that job is done will affect their individual welfare and the stability of our country in the years ahead. The American public schools play an indispensable part in this training for good citizenship. These schools not only equip the young people with academic knowledge, but help to instill in them a deeper respect for law, greater tolerance, and an appreciation of good habits. Every year as a means of stimulating greater interest in our public schools system a special week is set aside, known as Public Schools Week. This year it will be observed from April 26 to May 1. During that week it would be well for all citizens to visit the public schools and see the work that is being done. Those who do will gain a greater appreciation of our educational system and will realize more fully the necessity of protecting it from the undermining influences so prevalent today. A strong public schools system is essential to a strong America. Joe Critchfield For School Board Farm, the department is housed in a new brick building large enough to care for two large fire trucks, a large recreation hall for use of the department members and community events and a kitchen boasting all the conveniences of a modern home with built-in cabinets, extra large cook stove, large sinks and pantry with a serving window to facilitate ease in handling large gatherings. The recreation hall boasts of a large number of tubular chrome steel chairs upholstered in various colored leatherette, a large desk and a long table. The new building was built by members of the volunteer department, the materials being furnished by the county. All painting and finishing work was also done by the local group. They have built the interior of the station in such a manner that the doors between the truck room in front and the recreation hall can be opened and thrown into one large room when they need space for an extra large gathering or event. All the modern devices have been incorporated in the efficient operation of the fire station. When a fire is called into the station, the telephone rings which immediately sets off the siren and automatically opens the large door where the fire truck is kept. By the time this takes place, the fire chief, who lives nearby, is there and is warming up the truck motor. Before it is ready to leave the station, at least five men are ready to make the run. Five men are available at all times in case of a fire and within two or three minutes the entire department can be at the station. The record for last year was 21 fire calls. The west Anaheim Fire Department was organized during the war as a civilian defense measure. Orange county gradually took over the group and is at present operating it under the supervision of the state forestry division. The large G. M. C. truck carries 750 feet of two and one-half inch fire hose and 400 feet of one and a half inch hose with a 300 foot booster line. The pumping unit has a capacity of 500 gallons per minute and carries a booster tank of 600 gallons of water. A 26-foot extension ladder is only part of the equipment used. The unit has a separate pumping unit consisting a Chrysler motor with a Hale pump for pressure. It also carries forcible entry and hand tools. The truck has a six-man cab and a age was 295 fruits to the box spite of a slightly higher growth rate during last March than it recorded a year ago. During March the average growth rate was .060 of an inch. The Marsh 1947, growth rate was .059 of an inch. The rate for this and this year was markedly higher than the 19-year average for Marsh which was .053 of an inch. But aside from lagging behind last year, the pattern of growth of Valencia oranges radicalized from the first of February to the first of April. The change of places between northern and southern Orange county was typical. Until the first February the northern Orange county district was at or near top in all southern California growth rate and the southern Orange county district was near the bottom. During February caught up with northern Orange county, and in March it passed northern district. As of April it would require 310 average southern Orange county oranges to a box while it would require average oranges in the north end of the county. For the Orange Administrative Committee Aheim marks the boundary line between the northern and the southern Orange county districts. The largest Valencias as April 1 were in Ventura county where the growth rate during March was .076 of an inch, highest in southern California, was well ahead of San Fernando valley which lead the process until February. The second highest growth rate — .070 — found in the Cucamonga-Dimas-Upland-Pomona district but it still had the smallest lencias found in any of the districts. It would take 345 average sized oranges to fill a box. San Diego county with .027 (Continued on Page 8) Development of So. Los Angeles St. Tract Beings Twenty-seven two and three bedroom homes will be constructed and sold with improved lots—the newly opened tract which features an eight hundred blocks, South Angeles street, owner Fred Joe Critchfield For School Board Joe Critchfield For School Board J. P. (Joe) Critchfield, prominent local man, has filed for the office of school trustee to take the place vacated by Win Borden. Mr. Critchfield at the behest of his host of friends has agreed to offer his name and stand for election to this important job in our public school system. He has three children in the school system and his friends feel that with his close association to civic matters over the past many years he will make a fine addition to the board. Mr. Borden said upon announcing his retirement that as he has served the district for eight years and that his children were no longer in the elementary schools that his duty had been done. He heartily endorses the candidacy of Mr. Critchfield. The school election will be held on Friday May 21, 1948. There will be one polling place, Fremont school, 608 West Center street, for the elementary election. WIENER BAKE, SWIM FOR JUNIOR HI?Y Twenty-nine members of the Fremont Junior Hi-Y clubs, met at the Anaheim high school recently for awiener bake and a swim in the high school plunge. Bud Harris, leader, and Wilbert Bonney, Fremont principal, were in charge of arrangements for the double event. The junior Hi-Y youths meet on the Fremont campus each Monday night at 7 o'clock. Field in Sight For Model Fliers Anaheim's Balsa Butchers and other model plane fliers, whose hobby activities have been "grounded" temporarily, may soon have a permanent flying field established on the county-owned site adjacent to Santiago creek, it was learned this week. The property will be offered by the county which, for a "proffered donation of $1500" will set up shop for the model fliers. The proposed field, west of Orange city park, can accommodate two or three 70-foot flying circles and is large enough for two or three miniature auto racer tracks. Chairman Willard Smith of the board of supervisors stated that a pool has been started by a county Chrysler dealer for the $1500 so that a shop may be constructed. The building would be placed between the Santa Fe trestle and Glassell street in Orange, along the creek. Estimated costs of these improvements to include rest-room facilities now are being considered by Smith and county counsel Joel Ogle. Smith commented that although the field would be under county administration, the general supervision would probably be managed by the Santa Ana recreation department. Twenty-seven two and three bedroom homes will be constructed and sold with improved lots; the newly opened tract which is a frontage of approximately seven feet adjacent to the seven-eight hundred blocks, South Angeles street, owner Fred Piepenbrink, stated Tuesday. Already completed is the trench office. The tract runs 200 feet south along South street to Los Angeles street, owner Fred Piepenbrink, stated Tuesday. John C. Blystone of Santa Ana is the general contractor. Development of the custom-built home will require eight or nine months. Sub-contracts for electric plumbing and other installations are being made. The construction of the streets, one of which will complete Valencia street through the tract, is currently underway. Insure a safe residential section none of the roads will intersect Los Angeles street. All of the frame or stucco homes will fit either north or south. Improvements in addition paved streets, will include sewalls, gas, water and sidewalk. Only those orange trees which pedaled construction were removed from the three and one-half acre on the tract. Last year citrus trees on the rich land rented a total of 3000 boxes ofanges, Piepenbrink commented. The residences will be built from $11,000 to $14,000 including the improved lots. Anaheim Building and Loan company will handle financing. Two two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes are expected to be completed in approximately three months, Piepenbrink said. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1948 of Small Growers March report of the Orange administrative committee makes ear that southern California have this year its fourth night year of small size Valencias oranges. The report, based on random measurements taken March 1, tagged oranges to measure during March, reveals that April 1 the average size was less than the average for 1, 1947. The average for last 1 was 311 oranges to the red box. A year ago the aver- was 295 fruits to the box in of a slightly higher growth during last March than was used a year ago.

They bid fair to repeat last year's performance of being declared champions of the Sunset League: On May 7th they return for the first at home game at La Palma park before what is expected to be the largest crowd in the history of the Sunset League. The league president is offering a trophy to the city with the largest initial turn out and Jim Kilduff, chairman of the Orange County Valencia Boosters Association, declares that they cannot beat our oranges nor can they beat our Valencias on the diamond or in attendance. Manager Jerry Gardner, of the Valencias, is fielding a fast young team that is destined to overshadow last year's great nine and Re-Elect Pearson Anaheim Mayor At Special Meet Incumbent Charles A. Pearson was re-elected mayor of Anaheim to serve for the next two years, as the city council met in a special session Tuesday night in the council chambers, second floor, city hall, to elect officers and to declare canvasing returns of precinct votes and total results of the city election held April 13. City Judge L. P. Bonnat imposed the constitutional laws of clerk on Charles E. Griffith who has served in this capacity for several years. Griffith, in turn, imposed the oath of office on newly elected councilmen, incumbents Ray Van Wagoner and Pearson and City Treasurer A. G. Tuma. Pearson was elected unanimously. They will serve for the next four years on the council. Two variances were approved and two denied during the course of regular business.

Manager Jerry Gardner, of the Valencias, is fielding a fast young team that is destined to overshadow last year's great nine and has uncovered several stars that will someday make diamond history. Perhaps the leading light in the Valencia attack this season will be Richard "Lefty" Faber of Orange, who thus far in spring games has shown the ability to lead the league in hitting and to continue on Page 8. Navel, Lemon Prices Up Little Sales of both California navel oranges and lemons increased slightly during the week ending April 17 and the f.o.b. average on both varieties showed a good gain over the previous week. Demand for good quality navels in the medium to small sizes improved during the week although there were a few cases where some cars of oranges sold at a very low level because of poor condition. Lemon demand was strong as weather conditions over the country improved in every section excepting the Pacific northwest. In view of the healthier tone of the market both orange and lemon prates were increased during the week, navel shipments being increased 100 cars to a total of 1100 standard cars and lemon shipments moved up to 410 cars, an increase of 50 over the original recommendation. Prorate for the week beginning April 18 was recommended at 1200 cars on navels and 400 cars on lemons. Southern California navel tree-crop was increased 500 cars by the Orange Administrative Committee to a total of 27,000 cars, adding approximately 250 cars to the volume for interstate shipment. Reducting shipments for the week ending April 24, the OAC estimates slightly more than 2500 cars of southern navels remain for interstate movement. The frost loss in navels from freezing temperatures this past month served in this capacity for several years. Griffith, in turn, imposed the oath of office on newly elected councilmen, incumbents Ray Van Wagoner and Pearson and City Treasurer A. G. Tuma. Pearson was elected unanimously. They will serve for the next four years on the council. Two variances were approved and two denied during the course of regular business. E. R. Morford was granted a zoning variance which permits him to use buildings 1916-1918 North Los Angeles street, Lots 4 and 5, for the sale of new and used tires and tubes and for the recapping and repairing of tires using electrical equipment. His business also includes off-street parking space on Lot 4. Permission for the mailing and telephone selling of window checks was granted to P. O. Wells of 312 South Olive street. He was restricted to outside advertising of the product which he invented and recently had patented. Both of the above variances were given by the council upon recommendation of the City Planning Commission. Accepting the recommendation of the commission to deny a requested variance, J. W. Schiller, 1132 West La Palma avenue, was refused permission to operate a sand pit. Also denied was a variance for a four apartment unit at 510 South Palm street, requested by Harry F. Meyer. A petition protesting the building of the multiple unit was signed by 18 people living near Meyer in the single residence district. Discussion of additional off-street parking lots was held but no action will be taken until further study is made and additional funds are secured. Kiwanis Club Sees Football Picture Tuesday's Kiwanis meeting featured the giving of gold basketballs to members of the basketball team that was sponsored by the club in the City League for their feat of winning the league championship. John Wallin, who acted as coach, made the presentation during the luncheon meeting held in the Elk's club. He also acted as chairman of the day and introduced Ben Againian who served in this capacity for several years. Griffith, in turn, imposed the oath of office on newly elected councilmen, incumbents Ray Van Wagoner and Pearson and City Treasurer A. G. Tuma. Pearson was elected unanimously.

The frost loss in navels from freezing temperatures this past winter is much less than earlier predictions. Florida's orange market showed some improvement on the week's sales which were about the same as the previous week. Fruit from the southern state is reported showing considerable stem-end granulation particularly in large sizes. There are some reports that Florida will be dropping off after mid-May but California shippers are inclined to await definite proof of these reports. Football Picture Tuesday's Kiwanis meeting featured the giving of gold basketballs to members of the basketball team that was sponsored by the club in the City League for their feat of winning the league championship. John Wallin, who acted as coach, made the presentation during the luncheon meeting held in the Elk's club. He also acted as chairman of the day and introduced Ben Agajanian, who, by an odd coincidence was sponsor of the second place team in the basketball series, as speaker of the day. Agajanian, proprietor of Aggie's Sport Shop and place kicker de luxe of the Los Angeles Dons professional football team, told some amusing things that happened during last season's play. The remainder of the meeting was given over to the showing of a colored moving picture showing the highlights of many of the games played by the Dons. Queen Candidates For Progress Week These lovellies pictured above are four contestants who are seeking the honored title of o-of Anaheim's Civic Progress Week, which runs from May 10-16. The queen who will reign and four attendants will receive many attractive prizes. The contest is still open. Right to left are M-Elaine Newton, Audrey Borgeson, Jean Kahl and Betty Launer. Any Orange county girl, 16 year age or over, is eligible. To Build Shelter For Off-Street Bike Parking Lot Bicycles, too, will have off-street parking at the vacant lot, 100 block North Lemon street, it was announced this week by city officials. With the Rex Construction company donating time, lumber and labor, a deluxe 40-foot single-roof shelter will be built on the site and will house 100 vehicles. Bike riders may lock their property with chains being provided by the local police department, one to each single stall. Riders are to provide their own locks. As a special grand opening feature, however, 60 free locks with keys will be presented to the first 50 citizens who park bicycles at the off-street shelter, courtesy of Schler's Bicycle Shop, now located at 419 West Center street. Purpose of the off-street project is to protect youngsters from traffic accidents and to keep bicycles from being wrecked. ANAHEIM SCHOOLS READY FOR PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE NEXT WEEK McLain’s Prorate Bad for County The big fight that went on before the Orange Marketing hearing was carried over into the meeting of the OAC held last week and the various proposals to revamp Order No. 66 were again hurled back and forth between the members. This interchange set the stage for a premature valencia marketing policy. The most interesting thing that went on as far as Orange county growers are concerned was Roy McLain’s own private schedule of shipments for the industry. Mr. McLain is Tulare’s gift to the orange industry, was the chief Exchange witness for its own prorate proposals, was reported leader against the ‘one district on maturity shipping’ or Orange county plan and is a northern grower, a local co-op president, a district exchange di- Plans are complete for the full observance of Public Schools Week next Monday through Friday it was announced by A. B. Cross, chairman of the committee in charge, of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M. The Masonic lodge of California has sponsored and dedicated itself to the observance of this recognition of our public schools and has invited all public spirited citizens and all civic, service and religious groups to join with them in promoting the best things possible for our institutions of learning. Chairman Cross said: “Let us always remember that the youth of today are the governing men and women of tomorrow. It is, therefore, our duty to give them the best in the American way of education and the best that we, as individuals, have gained through experience that they may be prepared to cope with the problems of tomorrow. We wish to thank you in advance for any and all Prorate Hearing Given New Plan The proposed changes that were offered by many interested groups to the Orange Marketing Order at hearings in Los Angeles, which ended last week, would revolutionize the marketing of oranges if they were adopted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Any that are adopted will not be applicable to this year's crop. The result, to Orange county growers, was to show the gross inequities under which this county abors to get its fruit to market and to show that all shippers here exchange, MOD and Independent, are aware and ready to fight for what they consider to be their rights. Perhaps the outstanding thing about the whole hearing was the lack of grower interest and support. Most growers in this area are heartily back of the so-called orange county plan' but very few were on hand to watch their representatives put up the fight. First on the stand was the California Fruit Growers Exchange to present its proposed amendments. In the opinion of many observers their witnesses did not fully establish their contentions. Particularly in the matter of the intrastate prorate amendment and the hiring of a marketing 'expert' for the OAC and the allotment pools they were thought to be weak. Their brief point, the arbitrary diversion of oranges, was put forward with arguments which failed under cross examination. The Exchange later pulled their star witness, Roy McLain of Tulare, who bitterly opposed to the Orange county group, to try to turn the sale but no further facts were established. Next on the stand was the group promoting the Orange county can, which is to have regulation shipments from producing areas a whole instead of volume control by districts as soon in ofcia marketing policy. The most interesting thing that went on as far as Orange county growers are concerned was Roy McLain's own private schedule of shipments for the industry. Mr. McLain is Tulare's gift to the orange industry, was the chief Exchange witness for its own prorate proposals, was reported leader against the 'one district on maturity shipping' or Orange county plan and is a northern grower, a local co-op president, a district exchange director, a CFGE director and is a member of the Orange Administration Committee which sets the prorate on our oranges. McLain's private project schedule drags out the navel shipping season through the entire month of May. As would naturally be expected, he makes a very good schedule for Tulare valencias starting them on May 1, with 350 cars; May 8, with 650 cars; May 15, 650 cars; May 22, 450 cars; May 29, 400 cars. But for southern valencias there is nothing in the hopper until May 15, and then we start with 200 cars. May 22, we have 400 cars and May 29, 800 cars. So it goes getting a little better as the weeks go on, but, after June 19 we are left with around 30,000 cars to go interstate. This all will be talked about and probably changed at the policy session of OAC to be held April 27 in Los Angeles. The committee once again finds itself in the same position as last year when the late navels are complicating the starting of valencias. The Gazette learned today that a large delegation of growers and their representatives were planning to attend this meeting. It will undoubtedly be very interesting to all who can attend. Votes Support To Progress Week Unanimous cooperation of the 'YM' and 'YW' groups of Anaheim in the coming Civic Progress Week extravaganza May 12 through 16, was voted at a special meeting of the Anaheim YMCA board of directors, Wednesday noon of last week at the Parker House with President M. A. Gauer presiding. Because of its interest in civic progress in Anaheim, the board okeyed acceptance of food booths, to be featured in the event, Y spokesmen said. Profits from sale of food will be used for the organization'ssible for our institutions of learning.

It is therefore, our duty to give them the best in the American way of education and the best that we, as individuals, have gained through experience that they may be prepared to cope with the problems of tomorrow. We wish to thank you in advance for any and all cooperation you can give in this worthy cause." AUHS AND FREMONT Open house at Anaheim Union High school will be next Monday evening, beginning at 7:30 o'clock. Fremont Junior High school will observe the occasion with a similar program Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Special programs will be given in the respective schools' auditoriums. At the high school, 811 West Center street, demonstrations by three departments will be featured as is the annual custom. This year activities of the commerce, home economics and physical education departments will be shown, Principal Paul H. Demaree stated. Miss Kathleen McFaul, commercial instructor, heads the faculty committee. Following the program will be a tour of classrooms and the entire school plant. Fremont's open house at 608 West Center street, will see Principal Wilbert Bonney acting as master of ceremonies introducing an eighth grade clothing exhibit of which Miss Verena Nortnedt is in charge; tumbling and folk dancing demonstrations by the physical education departments with Miss Ada Wilcox and Nathaniel Norton acting as co-chairmen, and vocal music led by Mrs. Jean Thompson.

Jack Prizer, Exchange board member, and Bob Dowling of Plantia Mutual, both Exchange backing hoist managers, led off with their charts, facts and figures showing just what the 'one district plan' and shipping fruit when mature instead of arbitrarily setting a date for it to be ripe, would do for the industry. These men were speaking, not alohe for themselves, but for some 50 other houses including Exchange, MOD (Continued on Page 8) Week extravaganza May 12 through 16, was voted at a special meeting of the Anaheim YMCA board of directors, Wednesday noon of last week at the Parker House with President M.

Board Launches Plans For Big Casting Tourney Promotion of the national casting tournament to be held again at La Palma park, June 6, was discussed by board members of the Anaheim chapter of the Izaak Walton league, Wednesday night of last week at Nick Wingert's auto glass and marine sport company on South Los Angeles street. President Dick Martin turned the meeting over to Sam Whippo who was in charge of the night's program and luncheon. The annual casting tourney will feature another famous barbecue dinner Sunday noon, it was announced. Roy Mabee is the general chairman of the event, assisted by John O'Kane. Sub-committee chairmen were also named during the business session.
