Colony Quips Various promotion groups here in California spend many thousands of dollars each year in advertising to tell the rest of the country about the many advantages of climate and living we have over them. The job has been done very well. Every where you go in the middle west people come up to the occupants of a car with a California license and want to talk about the Golden state and in every case say they want to come out here. On the road home to California people stop you and gleefully come forth with the information that they, too, are going there. Then the border is reached and they come up against the 'goon squad' or 'gestapo' that this great state puts in charge of it's entrance inspection. We who live in the citrus belt understand the need for keeping out plants, fruits, nuts and that sort of thing that might be host to unwelcome pests. We know the tremendous cost the farmer is forced to stand to control the pests already here. However, the guests and vacationers, who may later become residents, need not be exposed to the low form of life that inhabit our inspection stations, especially one or two at Blythe. Where the great state department of agriculture ever found a couple of the specimens who operate there is beyond us. The most uncivil, unmannered and least cultured humans, at least in a few cases, that we have ever seen greet the people that are Property in County Assessed This Year at $404,471,800, Up 33 Per Cent Exchange in Dicker for Caltone Plant On good authority The Gazette was informed this week that the California Fruit Growers Exchange is in negotiations for the purchase of the Caltone juice and orange processing plant on North Lemon street, Anaheim. The Caltone management turned over its assets, including the new plant here, to the board of trade for the benefit of creditors just after the Valencia harvest season got under way this year. Acquisition of a plant here by the California Fruit Grower When the county auditor done adding up the figures applied by County Assessor Ma F. Enderle, he found the total assessed value of Orange c this year was $404,471,800. The total is an increase per cent more than the total year when the assessor valued property in the county at 150,955. Last year the county assessed valuation was nearly $80,000,000 when Ass Enderle revalued land to cover higher prices throughout state. This year's upward action was principally upon provements which were bought generally about 60 per cent. The total of $404,471,800 included $21,906,930 as the assessed value of public utilities. Prospects this week were that the board of superw would adopt the same rate per $100 of assessed value applied last year. While the has yet to hold its budgetings, which begin August department heads of the county have asked for a total of $1 Where ever you go in the east and middle west and they find out you are from California the line forms on the right to ask what the average person here thinks about Governor Warren. The same thing goes whether you are talking to a group of workmen in a factory or out on the golf course with a bunch of burgoisie (you use your own pronunciation and we will use our own spelling). The interest in this man of the people is tremendous and very heartening to the westener. Party lines seem to make no difference in the effort the rank and file are making to find out about a man they want to vote for in an attempt to put honest and capable men at the head of our government. Perhaps we are a bit on the provincial side but this sort of thing builds up the old ego and it is very easy to find yourself in the middle of (to you) a brilliant political speech and, believe it or not, those tenderfeet all agree. They chime right in and tell you they believe Warren will pull more votes to the Dewey-Warren ticket than Dewey himself. All this is grist in the travelling Californian's mill and the act was so consistent that we believe there will be new faces in the White House next year. Orange Market Steady; Lemons Drop Further In spite of the fact that competitive summer fruits are in much lighter supply than last year, fewer cars of oranges were sold last week than in the week before. The price was only slightly better. Cool, rainy weather continued over most of the country except in the south last week. In the absence of weather calling for lemonade, the market for lemons declined still further. There was an improvement in the weather this week but the improvement was not expected to be reflected in better demand until next week. Southern California Valencias averaged around $3.77 a box, f.o.b. last week, which was only slightly higher than the week before. The volume of Florida Valencias sold through the market was small but it was believed to have had a limiting influence on the smaller California Valencias. New York reported it could handle a better volume of California fruit at a better price when Florida was definitely out of the way. For the first time this year, the orange price average was below that for the corresponding week last year when the f.o.b. average provements which were generally about 60 per cent. The total of $404,471,800 included $21,906,930 as the assa value of public utilities. Prospects this week were that the board of supervise would adopt the same rate per $100 of assessed value applied last year. While the has yet to hold its budgetings, which begin August department heads of the county have asked for a total of $1734 and the probabilities are the total will not be greatly that figure. The State Board of Equaliz figures for Orange county disquite match those of the co auditor. It found land in county appraised at $214,780 improvements assessed at $235,480; personal property, $3260; exceptions, $26,975,380; ing a net total of $382,705,900 this should be added to the assessment of public utility in the county which this was $21,906,930. The grand according to the state board equalization is $404,608,030. Locally assessed property California totaled $11,352,772 this year. This represented a crease of $1,169,334,958 over assessed value of property wthe state. Los Angeles county's total $4,686,502,000 of assessed waccounted for 41.3 per cent ostate's total. 20-30 'Safety Sally' Project Well Underway Safety Sally, the little ply girl designed to aid in prot youngsters at school cross again will stand guard in than 250 communities through the country, according to meof the local club who are painting 28 new "Sallies" presented free to the city of heim. Last year 72 of the "Sally" dolls were given to schools. Born of public safety anand reared in the interest o welfare of youth, "Sally" her debut in March, 1937,the 20-30 club of Orang sponsor. Local members state that are some 800 or more of the foot tall blue-eyed girls din six bright colors and dec with the 20-30 emblem. The cost of living, we all know, is bad enough here but look and compare some of these prices we saw with our own eyes in the great city of Chicago; sirloin steak, $1.38 cents a pound; oranges 79 cents a dozen; tomatoes, 40 cents per pound; cherries, 78 cents; watermelons, 6 cents; cigarettes, 21 cents. Heating the average home in winter costs around $250 a month. We like it here. Civilian Planes In County Double In Two Years Registration of civilian aircraft in Orange county increased 119.5 percent from May 1, 1946, to May 1, 1948, according to the California Aeronautics commission. The 1946 figure was 128. This year there were 281. In Napa county the increase was 1020.1 per cent. In San Benito county the increase, percentage-wise was 2200 per cent. There was one private airplane in the county in 1946 and 23 this year. There were 4878 civilian aircraft in the state on May 1, 1946, and 10,560 this year, according to the Civil Aeronautics Administration. The 19th amendment to the U.S. constitution provided for woman suffrage and became effective in 1920. For the first time this year, the orange price average was below that for the corresponding week last year when the f.o.b. average was $3.96. In the corresponding week in 1946 it was $4.64 and in 1945, $3.06. Prorate for the present week is 1450 cars, 50 cars less than for last week. Lemons last week averaged about $4.05 a box f.o.b., compared to an average of $6.77 in the corresponding week last year, $3.36 in 1946 and $3.63 in 1945. It was the second time this year that the f.o.b. average has dropped below the average for the corresponding week last year. With supplies on the heavy side, jobbers and other wholesale buyers in the east demanded only fresh, strong appearing lemons. Small sizes went better in the south than medium and large sizes. Prorate for the week was 400 cars, 100 cars more than the week before. The prorate of 1450 cars of oranges this week represented a compromise between the shippers who wanted to keep shipping at the rate of 1500 cars a week and those who believed the short crop this year justified holding the prorate down to 1400 cars. The famous Cherokee tribe of Indians formerly occupied the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The use of advertising dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1948 Assessed This Up 33 Per Cent When the county auditor was adding up the figures supplied by County Assessor Maurice Underle, he found the total assessed value of Orange county this year was $404,471,800. The total is an increase of 33 percent more than the total last when the assessor valued the property in the county at $324,1955. Last year the county's assessed valuation was increased by $80,000,000 when Assessor Underle revalued land to conform higher prices throughout the state. This year's upward adjustment was principally upon improvements which were boosted overall about 60 per cent. The total of $404,471,800 indeed $21,906,930 as the assessed value of public utilities.

Council Raises Water Rates to Pre-War Level Beginning this week, some Anaheim water users will pay a higher rate than they have paid since the middle of 1944. At that date water rate were dropped, mainly for the benefit of growers of Victory gardens. At its meeting Tuesday night the city council restored the rates in existence before August, 1944. The restored rates are: $1.50 a month for 750 cubic feet or less; 10 cents per cubic foot for the next 9250 cubic feet, and 8 cents for $10,00 cubic feet and over. The increase—or rather the restoration of the rates prevailing before August, 1944—is somewhat under 20 per cent.

Heinlein, a teacher at the Anaheim Union high school for the last four years for the year 1947-48 she classified as "unsatisfactory" that in consequence she share in the automatic income wages. She stated her low salary last year and in the year amounted to $1100. The classification she is "discriminatory, arbitrary unreasonable" and the fixing her salary is unlawful without evidence to it. Hearing on an order cause has been set for A Anaheim Speak Less; Other Cities More Anaheim was the only Orange county whose expenditures were not great its 1946 outlays accorded Bourbons Endorse Reapportionment, Lose Elector (Western News Service) Assemblyman Lloyd Lowrey of Rumsey, has demanded his name be removed from the roll of California democratic presidential electors. He has been named as the elector from the third congressional district. Lowrey said he could not support the democratic platform as it was adopted here because of the endorsement of the reapportionment initiative which will appear on the November ballot. This proposal, which was endorsed by a roll call vote at which only a bare majority of delegates voted, would reorganize the California senate so that a majority of 21 members would reside in four of the 58 California counties. The Assemblyman, who represents Yolo, Glenn, Colusa and Tehama counties in the state's lower house, said his resignation from the electoral college did not mean he was withdrawing from the Democratic party. He said it merely signified he did not wish to be regarded as a supporter of the platform adopted by the convention. Opponents of the reapportionment proposal charge it would place control of the state legislature in the hands of the metropolitan centers and leave rural areas with only meager representation in the legislature. One new highway patrol officer will be assigned to Orange county immediately, Clifford E. Peterson, state commissioner, announced today. He is W. Edkins, who has just graduated from the California Highway Patrol Academy class here.

Fremont School’s commencement exercises held on June 10 ip Anaheim. “The program of your commencement indicates that one of the most outstanding pieces of work accomplished on The American Legion School Award program in many years was recorded by the students of the John C. Fremont School of Anaheim. “The manner in which the young men and women of the Fremont school honored The American Legion by dedicating their graduation theme to our organization and the procedure used by these fine young Americans to emphasize the traits of good citizenship in their graduation is without parallel in those copies of graduation ceremonies on file with this office. "For the splendid accomplishment of the School Award program recorded by the students of the Fremont School and members of the American Legion Post No. 72, I extend hearty congratulations."

Marks, who made his homecoming appearance as an attorney this week in the Superior Court where he formerly served as judge. He was greeted warmly by Presiding Superior Judge Raymond Board Seeks to Make County Fair Part of Anaheim Hallowe’en Frolic Negotiations were begun this week with a view to making an Orange county fair a feature of this year’s annual Anaheim Hallowe’en Celebration.

Heinlein, a teacher in the Anaheim Union high school, has filed suit in the superior court for a writ of mandate which would have the effect of obliging the school district and its superintendent, Paul H. Demaree, to recognize her as a "satisfactory employee." The teacher asserts she has taught grammar, English and study hall in the Anaheim high school for the last four years, that for the year 1947-48 she had been classified as "unsatisfactory" and that in consequence she did not share in the automatic increase in wages. She stated her loss in salary last year and in the coming year amounted to $1100. The classification, she alleged, is "discriminatory, arbitrary and unreasonable" and the method of fixing her salary is unlawful and was without evidence to support it. Hearing on an order to show cause has been set for August 27. Anaheim Spends Less; Other Cities More Anaheim was the only city in Orange county whose 1947 expenditures were not greater than its 1946 outlays according to the grounds but the deal has not yet gone through and it has been generally understood there would be no Orange county fair this year.
