Colony Quips Calvin Coolidge, said in 1925, "No method of procedure has ever been devised by which liberty could be divorced from local self-government. No plan of centralization has ever been adopted which did not result in bureaucracy, tyranny, inflexibility, reaction and decline. While we ought to glory in the Union and remember that it is the source from which the states derive their chief title to fame, we must also recognize that the national administration is not and cannot be adjusted to the needs of local government. It is too far away to be informed of local needs, too inaccessible to be responsive to local conditions. The states should not be induced by coercion or by favor to surrender the management of their own affairs." Every man should occasionally ask himself if he is growing in mental stature. Some men at twenty and even earlier begin to manifest the ability that is in them. As they turn the corner of each passing decade, you can see them grow. Others who show promise under favorable circumstances, will under adversity. Avarice calls one. Service another. Only the moron stands still. And finally as time pushes back the horizons there emerges the kind of a man his thoughts and deeds have created, for all the world to see. VOLUME LXXVII ANAHEIM County GOP Jam House To Head Delegates Report On Philadelphia Increase Time of Friday's 'Queen For a Day' Show A time extension of at least 15 minutes to the previously announced hour and on-half "Queen for a Day" show to be presented at La Palma Park, Friday night at 8:30 o'clock, under the auspices of the local Elks lodge was announced today by house manager Warren Ashleigh. The program will feature Jack Bailey and his entire cast. One thousand dollars in prizes will be given away and all contestants and judges will be selected from the audience; lodge members stated. Any profit from the program will go to charity. This program is broadcast regularly Monday through Friday at 11 o'clock in the morning over the Mutual network. Friday nights program will not be broadcast or transcribed. Anaheimers were still talking today about last Friday night "Philadelphia convention" banquet held at Santa Ana by the Orange County Republican Central committee to bring reports of the Quaker City nominating conference where Gov. Dewey and Gov. Warren were chosen as Republican running mates. The affair, sold out far in advance of the dinner date, was attended by the capacity 250 persons, with many more jammin into the Ebell clubhouse to hear the after-dinner reports. Mrs. Lelia Eastman, chairman of the central committee, and presiding officer, reported on convention organization of the California delegation of which she and Gordon X. Richmond of Orange were delegates. She stressed the unanimity of the delegation-it was all for Gov. Warren, and she told of the hectic times the individuals had in "buttonholing other delegations in their attempt to swing support to California." As they turn the corner of each passing decade, you can see them grow. Others who show promise under favorable circumstances, will under adversity. Avarice calls one. Service another. Only the moron stands still. And finally as time pushes back the horizons there emerges the kind of a man his thoughts and deeds have created, for all the world to see. The national passion for joining things was well illustrated by the late William Allen White who said that if three Americans fell out of a plane together, before they hit the ground they would be organized and have elected a president, a secretary and a treasurer. A movie camera man found a way of timing the famous "long count" of the Dempsey-Tunney fight by clocking the film recording of it, says that Tunney was on the floor for 21 seconds. Well, it took 21 years to find out. The tragedy of the flea is that he knows for certain that all of his children will go to the dogs. Thoughts along the road to the Windy City come to a person thick and fast and one with four arms could write them down and fill a column up easily between whistle stops. The difficulty is that we have to depend upon what we are pleased to call our mind and at this distance to confess a few limitations that would make us mad if they were called to our attention face to face. Here is one put down strictly for a more beautiful atmosphere along the road: Happy is the husband whose wife knows the limitations of her provider and neither goods him toward a goal he hasn't the capability to reach nor belittles his mentality in consequence. Man has no boon on this earth comparable to an understanding and charitable helpmate. Nothing that the Democrats have done has been other than helpful to the Republican cause next November. The fighting, backbiting and pure unadulterated venom poured back and forth can not do anything but hurt their chances of success. They are a group dangerously divided in many ways with the many divisions still as far apart as the ends of the earth. (It would not do to say polls.) No matter how calm the surface appears the under- One thousand dollars in prizes will be given away and all contestants and judges will be selected from the audience; lodge members stated. Any profit from the program will go to charity. This program is broadcast regularly Monday through Friday at 11 o'clock in the morning over the Mutual network. Friday nights program will not be broadcast or transcribed. Tickets to the show may be obtained at the Elks lodge, 423 North Los Angeles street; Heying's Pharmacy, 144 West Center street; Jackson Drug company, 237 East Center; Cotler's Apparel Shop, 158 West Center street, and Hurst Jewelery store, 119 West Center street. Out-of-town residents may procure tickets at the Wilkinson drug stores, Fullerton and Buena Park, or Nielsen's Men's Store, Fullerton. Last minute details released from Bailey's Los Angeles headquarters listed a fabulous array of prizes for the queen in addition to a full day and evening of events sounding like a chapter out of "Wonder-Wonder Land." Some lucky woman from this vicinity to be selected from the audience will be chosen for the program here and with another queen to be chosen at Earl Carroll's Monday during the regular morning broadcast. Friday's queen will receive a hat, a tailored suit, gloves, nylon hose, shoes, a dress, blouses, a Joan Castle pin, two dozen roses, a silver scepter, a Ronson Crown lighter and case, a formal gown, a string of Delta simulated pearls, an Air King bagless vacuum cleaner and attachments, a Speed Queen washer and many other items. In addition to this finery, a shining limousine from the Taner Motor Livery, Los Angeles, will call for the queen and a companion of her choice at their homes Monday morning. They both will be special guests at the Monday broadcast at Earl Carroll's. Following the broadcast the queens will be given deluxe hair stylings and glamorization at the famed House of Westmore. Also scheduled is a tour of all major Hollywood motion picture studios with introduction to well known stars to be featured. The party will conclude the after-dinner reports. Mrs. Lelia Eastman, chairman of the central committee, and presiding officer, reported on convention organization of the California delegation of which she and Gordon X. Richmond of Orange were delegates. She stressed the unanimity of the delegation-it was all for Gov. Warren, and she told of the hectic times the individuals had in "buttonholing" other delegations in their attempt to swing support to California favorite son. Richmond, currently president of the California Republican Association, had been called east prior to the convention to sit in on its resolutions and platform committee, to which he was appointed by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge its chairman. Richmond became chairman of the subcommittee on western affairs, and thereby caused the platform committee's hottest arguments with his proposal that the platform include a plank favoring return of the oil-rich tidelands to the states. A U. S. Supreme court decision had given title to the tidelands to the federal government. Richmond was able to ram the tidelands plank through to its adoption first by the committee and then by the convention. It is, he said, of great interest to the Great Lakes states because certain interpretations put the question of ownership of their water frontages in doubt. He noted that the Democratic platform does not have a planlet favoring return of the tidelands to the states. Much of Richmond's talk was devoted to his analysis of how Dewey captured the presidential nomination on the third ballot which was unanimously cast for him. His first roll to victory came when his supporters won out in a battle over seating of rival delegations from Georgia, Richmond declared. California sided with the Dewey delegates on this, and so California's prestige was much increased. Dewey's victory over Harold Stassen in the Oregon primaries likewise had much to do with his (Continued on Page 6) Nothing that the Democrats have done has been other than helpful to the Republican cause next November. The fighting, backbiting and pure unadulterated venom poured back and forth can not do anything but hurt their chances of success. They are a group dangerously divided in many ways with the many divisions still as far apart as the ends of the earth. (It would not do to say polls.) No matter how calm the surface appears the undercurrents are there and they are all at cross purposes. Dewey and Warren look like a winning ticket for the Republicans. The G.O.P. reversed its traditional policy in picking a standard bearer, previously defeated, but there was no stopping the smart crew behind the New York governor. Warren is a vote getter in his own right. He has never lost an election. Both candidates are sufficiently left of center and internationally minded to satisfy the so-called liberals. It looks like Truman will need a war to win. Becomes Partner With C. B. Frank The new partnership of James L. Morris of this city with Charles B. Frank, in Frank's general insurance business, Suite 304, Bank of America building, was announced this week. Morris will be in charge of the office during Frank's current vacation and business trip in the east. Announcement of the new association was made by Frank just prior to his departure for the east coast last Saturday. He plans to be away for several months. A resident of Anaheim for the past 29 years, Morris formerly was associated with his father, William L. Morris, as a broker in the W. L. Morris insurance company. Graphite is found in the United States, Canada, Norway, Siberia, Spain and Ceylon. Rubel Takes on Duties of Late B. H. Crocheron Chester W. Rubel will be acting director of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service, according to word received today by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg from Dr. C. B. Hutchison, Dean of the College of Agriculture, Berkeley. Rubel succeeds B. H. Crocheron, former Extension director, who died recently. He came to the Agricultural Extension Service in 1915 to serve as farm advisor in Alameda County. He became assistant state leader of farm advisors in 1917 and has since built a wide acquaintance with farm families in the areas under his supervision in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys. Before joining the staff of the Agricultural Extension Service, Rubel taught animal husbandry at the California Polytechnical school at San Luis Obispo. He is a farm-born native of Iowa and graduate of Iowa State College. Reno, Nevada, is farther west than Los Angeles, California. ‘Chest’ Prize Goes To Local Woman Elizabeth A.

At the corresponding date last year the total number was ave. "While the number of cases is substantially larger at this time than last year, we do not consider the situation in Orange county as critical yet," said Dr. Russell. An unusual feature of the cases so far reported in Orange county this year is the high percentage of adults attacked by the disease. Of the three reported in the past week two were over 20 years of age. However young children still predominate. Imperial and Orangethorpe To Be Extended City Mustn't Muss Plan for CNG Armory The California National Guard looks with disfavor upon the suggestion that the armory it proposes to build at the east end of La Palma Park be enlarged by the City of Anaheim and at Anaheim's expense, it developed at the meeting of the city council Tuesday night. But National Guard officials are agreeable to internal changes in the prospective plans proposed by Anaheim City Engineer E. P. Hapgood reported. A year-round recreation committee to act as a recreation advisory group and to hire a full-time recreation director was authorized by the council. The Anaheim elementary schools and the Anaheim Union high school will each provide 20 per cent of the resulting expense and the city will provide the remaining 60 per cent. The Geiser company of Buena Park was awarded the contract for resurfacing Broadway. Walter Geiser, representing the company, offered to sign a contract. 'Y' Boys Return From Osceola One hundred six boys and leaders have returned from Wer Boys camp at Osceola. Day period was spent in some activities including development of the spiritual, mental physical phases. Early watch, individual cabin dev and chapel under the top pines furnished inspiration beginning of each new day. After cabin cleanup and period, recreation activities included swimming, horsebacking, hiking, softball, basketball pong, badminton, horse tether ball, fishing, etc. Man spent hours in the craft loft. Food served by the Der was the best ever. Group singing, skits and by cabin groups, the Grumbler newspaper and international stories made the even campfire programs great fun these things combined, made Younger Boys camp one of best ever, according to Thomason, director of the and general secretary of the Leaders and counsellors in ed the following: Bill G Imperial and Orangethorpe To Be Extended In answer to a query from the Gazette, the state highway department has sent to this office a map of the highway extension it proposes to make in northeastern Orange county. While the map shows one extension carries Route 175 from Stern to a junction with Route 176 at Esperanzo, it actually is as eastward extension of Orangehorpe (or, as it is known at its eastward end, the Placentia-Yorba highway) to a southeastward extension of Imperial highway at Esperanzo. It would thus, as conjectured in this paper two weeks ago, eliminate "the worst grade crossing in California" on a busy highway. It doubtless would also result in a great increase in use by trucks of the Orangehorpe route between the harbor district and the interior of the state and thus relieve Anaheim streets of a great deal of traffic. The Orangethorpe extension would involve the improvement or rebuilding of what now is known as Esperanzo road from the Yorba railway crossing to the Santa Fe siding of Esperanzo, a distance of about two miles. Also contemplated in the state highway department plans is an extension of Imperial highway from its present terminus at Yorba Linda to a junction with the Santa Ana Canyon highway, a distance of about four miles. This extension would involve the construction of a bridge over the Santa Ana river at a point near Esperanzo. The Gazette's Sacramento correspondent says that the project is still in the proposal stage and that surveys must be made and rights of way obtained before any work is done. Gazette Want Ads Bring Results. Orange Market Forges Ahead; Lemons Drop The market for California Valencias did pretty well last week but there was a sharp break in the lemon market, for which unfavorable weather was blamed. The sales volume of oranges was increased about 100 cars and the price was up about 19 or 20 cents over the preceding week. With last week's increase of about 51 cents a box, the average reached about $3.86 a packed box, f.o.b. At the corresponding date last year the average was $3.17. Of last week's shipments 72 per cent was 252s and smaller. Larger sizes showed an upward tendency the first of this week but 252s and smaller were bringing less money than the same sizes last week. Fancy 150s brought an average of about $7.65, delivered. Food served by the Denver was the best ever. Group singing, skits and by cabin groups, the Grumbler newspaper and international stories made the event campfire programs great fun these things combined, made Younger Boys camp one of best ever, according to Thomason, director of the and general secretary of the Leaders and counsellors included the following: Bill Gene Cranston, Ralph Alexei Ronnie Lemcke, Jim Webb, Herman, Don Schilling, Thatcher, Bill Bonney, Joe McConough, Erdman Palmou Anaheim, and Jack Murdy Frank Powers of the beach.

Young Republican Meet August 26 Next general meeting on Young Republicans of Anaheim and Fullerton is scheduled tively for August 26, at 7 o'clock in the evening at the Bag ranch, Golden avenue and line street, Placentia. This was decided during an executive committee meeting at the home Glen E. McCloud, 721 North keka street, this city, Tu night. The GOP group met also the purpose of selecting speeches for the forthcoming meeting of the Republican platform will discussed. Highlight of the intention is expected to be the re-portionment bill which will be the November ballot.

Irvine Officials Try Selling Oran On Prorate So Successful in State Change Would Apply It to Oranges The first three months of operation under the new lemon marketing order which provides that all lemons, whether sold within or without the states of origin must have prorate allotment, show a total sales volume increase and sharply increased price returns. The new order became effective on March 28, this year. "No one should attempt to give the present lemon marketing order the entire credit for the improved lemon market this year since so many elements affect sales volume and returns," stated Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. "Proponents of the new order have continually stated, however, that the order would mean better returns from California sales and help to stabilize the national market. Sales figures for the first three months prove they were right." Exchange lemon sales for April, May and June show an increase of 347 cars over the same period a year ago. Prices for lemons sold in California show a 92 percent gain while prices obtained outside the state show a 28 percent increase. Total returns for lemons sold throughout the United States were almost 45 percent greater than a year ago. Sales within California alone were 180 cars less than for the same period in 1947. Sales outside the state, however, were 527 cars greater, leaving a net gain of 347 cars. Of last week's shipments 72 per cent was 252s and smaller. Larger sizes showed an upward tendency the first of this week but 252s and smaller were bringing less money than the same sizes last week. Fancy 150s brought an average of about $7.65, delivered, Tuesday, compared to $7.42 at the same date last week; 176s brought an average of $7.50 while last week they averaged $7.38; 200s averaged $7.26 last Tuesday and $6.92 a week ago Tuesday; 220s averaged $6.53 on both days; 252s were down from $5.64 to $5.52 last Tuesday; 288s fell 18 cents to $4.78 last Tuesday and 344s brought $4.19 Tuesday compared to $4.44 a week earlier. Prorate for next week was set by OAC at 1500 cars and probably will not exceed that figure for the remainder of the season. The average price for all lemons of all grades and sizes in all markets last week was $5.44 a packed box, f.o.b., down $1.20 a box from the preceding week. Sales volume increased 12 cars over the preceding week. But there were lots of lemons in the market and as a consequence old and weak appearing lemons sold at a sharp discount while strong, fresh appearing fruit brought a good premium. While the average last week declined $1.20 a box, the average was still about 28 cents a box higher than it was on the corresponding date last year. Because of large supplies in the market, the Lemon Administrative committee cut the prorate for the current week to 525 cars, about the average for this time of year over the past three years. Sales early this week were about (Continued on Page 4) Irvine Officials Try Selling Oranges A more satisfactory substitute for the fruit auction and the citrus marketing picture been advocated ever since the institutions were developed with ever the price of citrus fruits unsatisfactory. But Charles J. Cogan, manager of the Irvine company has just offered a specific citrate for these institutions has suggested that it be given trial at some big market in Chicago. His proposal was made at monthly meeting of the county department of the Orange County Farm Bureau at its meeting weekend. It was that the California Fruit Growers Exchange set up its own warehouse in big middlewestern market where industry should set the price instead of having it set in the auction, and pass its fruit directly to wholesalers and tailors instead of having it through the hands of jobbers he said, sometimes add as much $2.50 a box to the price. Cogan thought unsatisfaction prices could also be avoided keeping 344s and smaller off fresh fruit market, sending small sizes instead to process. To support his advice, Cogan said he had traced about 150 of fruit from Orange county eastern markets and calculated the fruit would have averaged $100 more per car if the fruit been sent to processing plant... Y' Boys Return From Osceola One hundred six boys and 14 leaders have returned from Young-Boys camp at Osceola. The 8-day period was spent in whole-one activities including development of the spiritual, mental and physical phases. Early morning watch, individual cabin devotions and chapel under the towering trees furnished inspiration for the twining of each new day. After cabin cleanup and work period, recreation activities included swimming, horseback riding, hiking, softball, basketball, ping pong, badminton, horseshoes, soccer ball, fishing, etc. Many boys spent hours in the craft lodge. Food served by the Demarees is the best ever. Group singing, skits and stunts in cabin groups, the Osceola bumble newspaper and inspirational stories made the evening capstone programs great fun.

Portola Party Greeted Here By Program of Singing and Dancing Don Gaspar de Portola and his doughty party (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) which opened California to Spanish colonization were guests of Anaheim yesterday and today. The party of horsemen, which had grown from a low point of 14 to 21 members when it reached Anaheim, is following as nearly as modern conditions will permit the route which the original Portola party opened 179 years ago in its celebrated ride from San Diego to San Francisco. The trek is part of California's three-year celebration of the centennial of its birth. After plodding up Highway 101 from Santa Ana the cavalcade was met at the corner of Vermont avenue and Los Angeles street by city and Chamber of Commerce officials and escorted to La Palma park where the visitors camped until noon today when they took up their progress northward.

Pearson presiding, it was disclosed during a meeting Friday night in the council chambers at which seven representatives-at-large from the community were named tentatively to head the 1948-49 drive. Representatives elected to serve as delegates-at-large Friday, included John Shea, Arval Morris, Walter Taylor, Marie Roquet, Everett Cone, Clyde Nickle and Wayne Griggs.

Absent were John Shea, Edward Power and Howard Loudon, Jr. Along with mining the chief industries of Colorado include agriculture, stock raising, dairying and bee culture. After plodding up Highway 101 from Santa Ana the cavalcade was met at the corner of Vermont avenue and Los Angeles street by city and Chamber of Commerce officials and escorted to La Palma park where the visitors camped until noon today when they took up their progress northward. They were scheduled to camp tonight at La Habra. Led by a motorcycle escort provided by Anaheim the party moved into Anaheim flying the flag of ancient Spain, behind which rode the figure representing Don Gaspar. After him in order came the two representatives of the original friars who have left a history of the march which is carefully preserved in California archives, officers in uniforms, Catalonia soldiers and finally the "soldats de cuerna" in leather jackets and bearing bull hide shields. By the time the party reached Anaheim its members were as tanned and bewhiskered and their dress as dusty and travel-stained as were those of the members of the original Portola party. Behind the horsemen was the jeep-drawn, golden float of the California Centennial. And behind the float were 10 members of the Boots and Saddles club of Costa Mesa, followed by a motorcade. The cavalcade was paraded to La Palma park where the visitors pitched camp, picketing their horses on the vacant lot across Palm avenue.

It is estimated that 12,564 men between the ages of 18 and 25 will register with the three boards in Irvine Officials Say Exchange Should Buy Selling Oranges Direct to Trade More satisfactory substitute for the fruit auction and the elimination of the fruit jobber from citrus marketing picture has advocated ever since those negotiations were developed when the price of citrus fruits are satisfactory. At Charles J. Cogan, sales manager of the Irvine company, just offered a specific sub-item for these institutions and suggested that it be given a place at some big market like Mango. His proposal was made at the daily meeting of the citrus department of the Orange County Bureau at its meeting last week. It was that the California Fruit Growers Exchange up its own warehouse in some middlewestern market where industry should set the price, instead of having it set in the open onion, and pass its fruit out entirely to wholesalers and retailers instead of having it pass through the hands of jobbers who would, sometimes add as much as a box to the price. Cogan thought unsatisfactory as could also be avoided by using 344s and smaller off-the-fruit market, sending the sizes instead to processors. Support his advice, Cogan he had traced about 15 cars fruit from Orange county to earn markets and calculated fruit would have averaged more per car if the fruit had not sent to processing plants at $25 a ton. Certain cars he picked out returned less than the cost of getting the fruit to market. In these cases the difference between the cost of marketing the fruit and the return came out of the pocket of the grower. The cost of getting the fruit from the tree to the auction market is $3.21 a box, he said. If the fruit sells at less than $3.21 the grower must dig into his pocket to make up the difference. In one auction alone Cogan said he had noted in a 24 day period sales representing a total of $106,000 in red ink. The California Fruit Growers Exchange estimated that when cultural costs are included, the grower of oranges and not as an $4.78 per box before he earns any profit. Very few 344s and no 392s shipped so far this season, Cogan said, have sold for this much. Cogan, who made it clear that he was speaking as an individual grower or oranges and not as an official of the Irvine company, suggested that his idea be perfected by a committee of Orange county growers and then be presented to the officers of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. He said he was sure, from talks he had with General Manager Wilcox and Assistant General Manager Wilcox, that the proposal would be given serious attention. Anaheim Gazette since 1870. Estimate 12,564 County Youths Orange county will be served by three draft board which will be numbered 133, 134 and 135, it has been announced by the state director Col. Kenneth H. Leitch. It is estimated that 12,564 men between the ages of 18 and 25 will register with the three boards in this county. Santa Ana has been designated as headquarters for all three boards. There are 144 draft boards in the state and it is estimated the number of men between 18 and 26 is 653,000. Registration dates are from August 30 to September 18. No determination has been made as to what method will be used for the registration. Leitch said this would be announced as soon as it has been worked out. During the first draft of world war II, the state's election machinery was utilized to register 980,000 persons in one day. The draft boards, in most counties are bounded by the county line. However, in the larger areas, boundaries were determined on a basis of one board for every 100,000 population. The boundaries in these areas have been announced except in general terms.
