COLONY QUIPS The group or orange handlers known as 'Southern Shippers' had its inception back there around 1940 when it was becoming increasingly evident that orange pro-ration agreement was not doing the job it was designed to do. Grave inequities were apparent between the different varieties and the different districts. Mother Nature just will not follow the pattern laid down in the prorate agreement. The fruit reaches maturity at different dates than the government experts write down. This organization composed of valencia shippers from Orange county and the Whittier area were slowed down by the war when anything would sell and price ceilings prevailed. Then came the hearing of last April before the Department of Agriculture representatives and you have heard about the splendid fight put on at that hearing to bring the so-called 'maturity plan' to the attention of the powers that be. In former years when there was no prorate the Tulare valencias reached maturity around the middle of February and were at their peak the 15th of March. The winter navel crop, feeling the impetus of the ripening valencias, were on their way to cleaning up. Orange county valencias would start to move to market late in April and by the middle of May fully 15 per cent of our crop would have moved to market. Contrast this with the situation today. Here we are in the second week of June and the navels are just getting done. Yet for fourteen weeks straight the navel shippers could not or would not fill their prorate. 'Best Possible' Rerouting of 101 To Be Surveyed In order to determine the best possible routing for any future relocation of U.S. 101 through Orange and San Diego counties, the Division of Highways will undertake a special traffic survey beginning June 15, State Highway Engineer George T. McCoy has announced. The study, recently authorized by the California Highway Commission, will be conducted for a period of several months in cooperation with U.S. Public Roads Administration and the California Highway Patrol. It is proposed to stop several hundred thousand trucks and passenger cars and check where the drivers are going, from whence they came, and why. The answers obtained from motorists will determine the traffic habits and traffic requirements of the areas to be served by highway locations which will be studied. The survey will provide data to evaluate traffic service to be offered by several contemplated highway locations in the south coastal Statistician Figures Products This Year Big Season for Ocean Fishermen It was a big season for spishermen in salt water off Orange county coast, according to the April figures released week by the state Division of Fish and Game. Reports show that during that month sports fishermen took 18,350 fish, and in the Juan Capistrano-San Clemente Oceanside district 1401 fishermen landed 7790 fish. Los Angeles Catalina district reported more than any other district in California with 35,510 and Santa Monica was second with 30,190. New Beach was third. 'Fay' Lewis To Make Official Visit June 16 Grand Exalted Ruler Lafayette A. "Fay" Lewis of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks arrive in Anaheim on June ter navel crop, feeling the impetus of the ripening valencias, were on their way to cleaning up. Orange county valencias would start to move to market late in April and by the middle of May fully 15 per cent of our crop would have moved to market. Contrast this with the situation today. Here we are in the second week of June and the navels are just getting done. Yet for fourteen weeks straight the navel shippers could not or would not fill their prorate. And the northern valencias did not begin to move until the first part of May, when they should have been almost out of the market. Now it does not take any great intelligence to see the probable effect on the Orange county valencia crop of all this arbitrary setting of when and how much each crop will move to market. There is, in the opinion of most Orange county shippers, a lot of politics in the movement of the orange crop. In other words the Department of Agriculture set up the Orange Marketing Agreement to provide for the orderly marketing of the crop. They put into the hands of the prorate board the power to accomplish this end. 'Southern Shippers' takes the position that Orange county and Whittier district valencias have been given a bad deal and have the facts and figures to back up their contentions. Their alternative is what is known as the 'maturity plan' which says, roughly, that when oranges reach maturity as defined by the state standardization laws they shall be entitled to prostate. Under this plan nature will determine when fruit shall move to market. Instead of enabling the navel shippers to fail to ship their prorate for fourteen consecutive weeks in order to get into the high April and May markets, they will be forced to keep up to a normal schedule due to the pressure of the oncoming valencia crop, instead of being able to arbitrarily, by control of the prorate board, to hold back the movement of the fresh valencia fruit. Orange county and Whittier valencias have been 'sold down the river' by the present set-up. Our shippers, composed of Exchange, MOD and independents, are all together in this fight, and fight it is, to change the inequities of the present marketing system. It behooves every grower to get better acquainted with the marketing problems facing the industry and to give his packing house man- It is proposed to stop several hundred thousand trucks and passenger cars and check where the drivers are going, from whence they came, and why. The answers obtained from motorists will determine the traffic habits and traffic requirements of the areas to be served by highway locations which will be studied. The survey will provide data to evaluate traffic service to be offered by several contemplated highway locations in the south coastal areas and will be of value in determining the selection by the Highway Commission of proper routing. "Motorists will not be appreciably delayed at the interview stations," McCoy said. "Cooperation of the driving public will be appreciated and is necessary if the correct answers are to be obtained by the agencies cooperating in the survey." R. F. Schumacher Killed in Motor Crash Near Here Roy Fullerton Schumacher, 60, who was the first child born in the present town of Fullerton after its founding by the Amerige brothers, was killed instantly at about 5 a.m. Tuesday in a traffic crash at the intersection of 101 highway and Orangethorpe boulevard between here and Fullerton. Truck driver Paul M. Kraxberger, 21, of Bellflower, operator of the truck-trailer which struck the Schumacher car, told California Highway Patrol officers he was proceeding eastward on Orangethorpe avenue with a heavy load and with the green light in his favor when the other car tried to cross Orangethorpe in front of him. The impact tore down one of the signal standards and two utility poles and the two cars then plowed into an orange orchard. Schumacher was to have been on his way to join a fishing party at Newport Beach. He had lived most of his life in Fullerton and his address at the time of his death was 662 Golden avenue, Fullerton. Surviving members of his family are Mrs. Schumacher, a son, Roy Fullerton Schumacher, Jr., whose home is in Pennsylvania and one daughter, Mrs. James E. Smith, physical education teacher, Fullerton junior college. Lafayette A. Lewis the present time are an interfied program of help and entrainment for hospitalized veterans an increased sponsorship of H Scout troops by local Elk lodgings and a greatly expanded campaign of community welfare and aid unfortunate persons.

Mr. Lewis will recommend that every one of the 1478 Elk lodgings in the country undertake sponsorship of from one to th Orange county and Whittier valencias have been 'sold down the river' by the present set-up. Our shippers, composed of Exchange, MOD and independents, are all together in this fight, and fight it is, to change the inequities of the present marketing system. It behooves every grower to get better acquainted with the marketing problems facing the industry and to give his packing house manager the support he deserves. Orange County Still Short of Fruit Pickers There are enough pickers in the county to keep up with the pro-rate, said George Graham of Citrus Growers, Inc., this week. But if the OAC had allowed southern California the normal prorate the Orange county packing houses would be in hot water, Graham added. He said the number of local pickers was about 500 under the figure he had hoped for at the beginning of the season and the industry is short about 1000 Mexican nationals. But the latter are arriving weekly and his hope was that Orange county packing houses would be fully supplied with pickers before the height of the harvest. Some local pickers are also drifting back to work here. There were about 2200 in Orange county orchards this time last year compared to a little more than 1700 this year. OBTAIN LICENSE A marriage license was issued to Charles Allen Denney of Fullerton, and Marilyn Marie Wright of Anaheim, this week, in the county court house, Santa Ana.

Ray' Lewis To Make Official Visit June 16 And Exalted Ruler Lafayette Ray' Lewis of the Benevolent protective Order of Elks will in Anaheim on June 16, Although the size average of southern California Valencias is under that of last year, the amount of fruit going to products will be more than a third less than last year, according to estimates made by F. W. Wilcox, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The Orange Administrative committee has estimated the 1947-48 southern California Valencia crop at 960,000 tons—a figure which is liable to be revised downward in the near future. Of this total 20 per cent or 192,000 tons is expected to go to products. Last year the amount of the crop actually sent to products was 307,000 tons. Of the total of 192,000 tons it is estimated will go to products this year 116,000 tons will be frost-damaged fruit and 76,000 tons are expected to be in the smaller size range. Wilcox expects to see the 1947-48 pack of citrus juices considerably exceed the 1946-47 pack. The actual U. S. pack of orange juice in the 1946-47 season totaled 21,-000,000 cases of 24 No. 2 cans.

Reveals Its Building Plans The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce has called upon its membership for $4000 which, with the building and equipment fund already in existence, the directors believe will be sufficient to start its proposed new building. The fund now amounts to approximately $3000. With this start the board is certain it can take care of the financing through monthly payments instead of paying rent. Through a communication to members this week the board revealed a part of its new building program. The communication said the present attitude of the members studying the problem provides for a reception room with built-in display cases in which will be shown Anaheim agricultural and industrial products. A special feature of the new building, the communication continues, will be a well-planned conference room large enough to seat 100 persons and equipped to serve not only the needs of the chamber board and committees but also serve as a meeting place for civic and service organizations.

Citrus Market Strengthens As Weather Warms AUHS To Graduate 18 Vets, 198 Others At Exercises Tuesday Two Killed, Two Seriously Hurt In Car Crash In a spectacular headon automobile crash which cost the lives of two Santa Ana brothers early Sunday at Manchester boulevard and Midway drive south of here, Mr. and Mrs. Rector L. Coons of Anaheim were critically injured. The dead men are Ira and Alfie Scott of Santa Ana. Highway patrolmen who investigated the wreck said they believed Alfie Scott was driving the light pickup truck in which they were riding. No one is known to have witnessed the crash and both cars were ablaze when motorists later came upon the scene. Investigating officers said that but for the heroism of three passing motorists, Mr. and Mrs. Coons would have probably shared the fate of the Scott brothers.

Pratt, 715 North Claudina street, Citrus Market Strengthens As Weather Warms An advance in prices for California Valencias of all sizes was in evidence the first of this week, but the emphasis was on medium to large sizes. Some of the better grades of 176s and larger sold Monday in eastern markets for $3 and higher per box, delivered, again of a dollar or more a box ever last week. And some selling agencies were predicting that "you can't seen nothin' yet" in prices in medium and larger sized Valencias. With a prorate of 800 southern and 350 central and northern California Valencias, the market last week absorbed a somewhat smaller volume of fruit than it did the week before and the price was down about 6 cents a box to an average of about $3.95 a box aob. This soil was more than dollar a box higher than the average at this time last year. Through a compromise between the southern shippers who wanted a prorate of 1100 cars and the central California shippers who believed 1000 cars were enough for southern California Valencias, the AC left the central California store open and set the southern figure at 1,050. It was the contention of some members of the committee that the volume of small southern Valencias should not be materially increased until Florida is definitely out of the picture. Florida rolled 1805 cars by train and truck last week, was expected to ship 1,750 cars this week and next week's shipments would be 1,600 or more cars. Reports continued that Florida quality is rapidly going back and last week prices dropped 60 cents a box to 2.27, delivered, and chain stores said to be refusing the fruit. That Florida valencias were of a impting size; 88 per cent were larger than 252s. Lemon weather improved last week and prices for lemons bowed a sharp advance. At the beginning of this week weather over much of the country was less favorable but demand for lemons continued strong Monday's sales. Investigating officers said that but for the heroism of three passing motorists, Mr. and Mrs. Coons would have probably shared the fate of the Scott brothers. These three motorists pulled Mr. and Mrs. Coons from the flaming wreckage, suffering severe burns in doing so. Flames kept them from attempting to rescue the Scott brothers. The three were identified as Joe Ochoa of El Modina and Paul Beshears and William Renaker of Santa Ana. Severely injured and suffering from burns, Mr. and Mrs. Coons were taken to Fullerton general hospital. The bodies of the Scott brothers were taken to the Backs, Campbell and Kaulbers mortuary. Mr. Coons is the head of the Rex Construction company, 111 West Elm street.
