COLONY QUIPS We see in last week's news that a gentleman that is head of the state's fruit and vegetable standardization bureau was in the county making sure that the office of D. W. Tubbs, county agricultural commissioner, would be on the lookout for frozen fruit if and when Tulare's McLain and his prorate board ever let us get some of our valencias to market. We all know here that Mr. Tubbs and his staff are on the job and none of us wants any frozen fruit from Orange county to appear on the eastern market. We have all heard too much about northern California 'hay' that many said ruined our valencia markets last year. We don't know if Harold Poulsen, chief of the state bureau, ever heard what we did about the northern fruit last year, but, if he did, he should be checking personally, on what is going on in the Tulare district right now and quit worrying about Orange county and Mr. Tubbs. You know, of course, that Mr. McLain of Tulare, has his valencias moving to market this week and that the price structure is good. The navels are showing much decay but the good ones are bringing real money although Lil Abner would know that navels should be all washed up by now, yet, they will be in the market for some weeks yet. Mr. McLain's valencias will do good in the next few weeks because the soft fruit (peaches, etc.) will not be there to compete. However, when the mogul of the pro-rate board lets Orange county ship valencias we will be faced by a deluge of other fruit. Some of BASEBALL CLUB STARTS SEASON AT RIVERSIDE SUNDAY "The Anaheim Valencias, fast rounding into shape, will be a good ball club," so says Manager Jerry Gardner, in a pre-season statement to the press. "We have power, speed and good pitching," is Gardner's statement "and we know we will give the rest of the teams in the league a run for their money and probably once again win the pennant." Plans for the automobile caravan to leave the city hall Sunday shortly before noon for Riverside for the season's opener next Sunday have been completed and all persons wishing to make the trip and join the caravan should see either Jim Kilduff at the Greater Anaheim Market or Bob Boney at Boney Motors, or just show up Sunday at the city hall ready to go. Perhaps the standout of the team during spring workouts has been the pitching of Ralph "Rube" Cecil, big right hander who has amazed the fans with his poise and speed. Cecil is the colorful type of a pitcher who draws the fans into the ball parks. Good hitting has been received from such sluggers at Dick Faber, Or- GROUND BREAK FOR NEW ANAH Another firm stone in this trial background was laid T was broken for the building o will house Gate-Way Inc., and come this industry. Mayor first spadeful of earth on the Ana streets where the corpor ATTorney General Rules on Question (Western News Service) In response to a query from the district attorney of Orange county Attorney General Fred N. Howser ruled today on a question regarding the right to vote. The requisite that an elector be able to read the constitution in the English language, Howser said, applies to all persons except those who had the right to vote in California on October 10, 1911 when the provision was put into effect. The Orange county question hinged on whether an elector who had the right to vote in any other state in the union would come under the provision. are showing much decay but the good otes are bringing real money although Lil Abner would know that navels should be all washed up by now, yet, they will be in the market for some weeks yet. Mr. McLain's valencias will do good in the next few weeks because the soft fruit (peaches, etc.) will not be there to compete. However, when the mogul of the pro-rate board lets Orange county ship valencias we will be faced by a deluge of other fruit. Some of our valencias are ready to go right now. Many of them are mature and many growers can remember that our May market used to be our best. The prorate does test the fruit but sets an arbitrary date (their own) when we can ship. The report is that Tulare's McLain is the power on that board. You all know what the power did to Orange county last year. It looks like we are going to get the same end this year. Even under this terrible (for Orange county) setup we will probably get more for our valencias this year than last because there are some 12,000 cars less fruit to ship. But as long as we (Continued on Page 2) Young Musicians Win High Honors Musical honors came to Anaheim as talented young musicians from this city participated with 4,000 young musicians from junior college and high school campuses in the Southern California Music festival, which concluded last week end at the Fullerton jaysee college. A total of 99 bands and orchestras and hundreds of incidental and ensemble groups played. At press time, complete tabulations of judges' decisions had not been made, however, it was learned by the Gazette, that the well known Anaheim Union high school string ensemble took a superior or Division 1 rating in the string ensemble competition. Concertmistress of the popular eight-piece group is Miss Carol Hochuli. Additional honors came to Anaheim as the smartly uniformed band of 48 pieces captured a Division 2, or excellent rating. Both groups are directed by William Cook, Anaheim high school music instructor and conductor of the Elks club band of this city. Local musicians participated with the Fullerton Junior col- Northern Crop of Valencias Move With an estimated crop of 5000 cars as against 7100 last year the valencia crop of central California is starting to move to market. The northern crop was given prorate to start going into market this week. In past years the Orange county valencias found early May, before advent of soft fruit, one of the best times, from a price standpoint, to move mature oranges. The main fight at the marketing hearing a week or so ago was on this very point of letting the northern valencias have prorate for early May with Orange county having to wait until the end of May. The southern California crop is now estimated at 52,500 cars. The combined tree crop of the northern and southern districts is placed at 57,500 cars. This represents a decrease of around 23 per cent of the actual fruit harvested last year. This decrease, despite claimed prorate inequalities, puts the valencia shippers in a much better position than last year. The orderly marketing of their fruit should be reflected in the price returned to growers.

Perhaps the standout of the team during spring workouts has been the pitching of Ralph "Rube" Cecil, big right hander who has amazed the fans with his poise and speed. Cecil is the colorful type of a pitcher who draws the fans into the ball parks. Good hitting has been received from such sluggers at Dick Faber, Orange outfielder, John Pena, infielder, and Jimmy McNamara, sensational young shortstop, who has a major league career ahead of him. Anaheim will open its home season on May 7 at La Palma park and opening day ceremonies are being planned by the Valencia's booster club. The Valencias advertise Orange county. Let's make opening day a big day and if possible make the trip to Riverside Sunday for the league opener. The demand for good navel oranges continued very active the past week. During that period there was a substantial advance in price on the medium and small sizes. Main problem at this stage on navels is to get better quality fruit on the market which is hard to do on account of the fruit being well passed its maturity peak. Some experts are quoted as saying that the navels should have been all shipped several weeks ago. However, this condition is reflected in the extremely limited interest the trade is showing in ordinary quality and fruit showing decay. In the auctions there is a difference of $1 to $2 a box on the same size between the best and poor quality fruit. One of the highlights of the market was the difference in Exchange auction sales and the price received for Florida fruit, the California fruit outselling the Florida by an average of $1.54 a box. Florida's auction increased 18 cents to an average of $3.84. On a delivered basis the representative price by size on Sunkist navels for the week ending April 24, was as follows: 80s, $7.09; 100s, $6.91; 126s, $6.62; 150s, $6.47; 176s, $6.29; 200s, $5.77; 220s, $5.17; 252s, $4.82; 288s, $4.57; 344s, $4.42.

The Judge Is A Mighty Busy Man As a Superior Court jurist, a much-in-demand speaker, in the middle of a campaign—and being a new father—Judge Robert Gardner had his busiest day, and got an idea of what a time the proverbial one-armed paperhanger with the hives must have had. Up bright and early, Judge Gardner arrived at St. Joseph hospital in Orange to return Mrs. Gardner and their new daughter, Patricia, to their Balboa Island home. He was back in Santa Ana to open his court by the customary 10 a.m., and heard one case before he went back to Newport Beach to be guest of honor at a chamber of commerce luncheon. By 2 p. m., he was back in Santa Ana, to preside at a naturalization class, where he gave citizenship to 18 men and women. At 4:30, he was in Fullerton as speaker at a youth conference. By 6:30, he was back in Santa Ana as a banquet speaker. Arriving home just in time to help quiet the offspring, he collapsed into bed, dog tired. He forgot about the 2 a.m. feeding, but Patricia didn’t. Yes, he stubbed his toe fumbling around in the dark!

Car Loading Increase Good Despite some talk that is going around these days and an uneasy feeling on the part of many businesses the country is still actually enjoying prosperous times judging from the 'car-loading' requirement barometer for the second quarter of 1948. This period of April, May and June for the nation as a whole the estimates show that 8,600,000 freight cars will be required to move goods and commodities. This figure represents an increase of nearly 4 per cent over the same period last year. Practically every commodity registered an increase in car requirements, the largest decline being in livestock which was down 11 per cent to 154,000 cars. Citrus car requirements are up 4 percent to 46,000 cars and other fresh fruit up 7 per cent to 66,000 cars. Potatoes are up 3½ per cent to 84,000 cars; lumber and forest products up 5½ percent to 700,000 cars. Iron and steel are up 4 per cent to 600,000 cars, while coal and coke increased 3 per cent to a total requirement of 2,700,000.

With the help of some $550,000 which the supervisors have proposed to make available from state funds allocated to the county it is believed that these ceiling tax rates would provide enough money to purchase, by 1960, the existing outfall, treatment plant and trunk sewers south of Verano street owned by the Joint Outfall sewer. At first the new line into the ocean would be made 7,000 feet in length and extended later, as recommended by the board of consulting engineers. The construction of treatment plant units and large trunk sewers, extending about four miles inland from the ocean in the vicinity of Ellis and Verano streets are expected to provide capacity for all of the sanitation districts for the next 40 years.
