Colony Quips When is a rumor not a rumor? In this day of housing shortages there probably are more roomers than rumors flying around looking for a place to light or is it lite? Sorry but our English is as bad as usual and the word we should have used is alight. Another publication printed, on an inside page, what they said was a rumor about Anaheim eyeing a county fair and they hoped it wasn't so. But in the same issue, first page, top right, appeared a 'release' that a County Fair would be held here in conjunction with our own Hallowe'en Festival. Well that rumor found a place to alight. A bit late, perhaps, but still it lit. (If there was enough time we would go back to school and take up English.) Our only comment is that they might have had the story a day earlier by reading the Gazette. Our story was no rumor. But why all the 'beef'? The only point at issue from the standpoint of Anaheim, and that is all we are interested in, is whether or not this Fair is good for the city. Years ago we let the California Valencia Show go by the boards. Let us see that our Hallowe'en Festival, on which we have spent lots of time and money, is not gobbled up in an attempt to get our hands on some easy dollars. We probably will not be asked but will nevertheless have our opinion. As long as this 'rumor' business is on our mind we may as well VOLUME LXXVII ANAHEIM Ageement Reached On Combining County Fair, Hallowe’en Frolic With a firm understanding that it will be a county-village affair, an Orange county fair is this year to be combined with the silver anniversary of Anaheim’s annual Halloween Festival. The exact dates have not yet been fixed but the afternoons will include Hallowe’en and fall between October 27 and November 2. The site chosen for the fair centers about the intersection Palm and La Palma avenue. Some of the features will be located within La Palma park but it is pected the fair will spill over some of the surrounding territory. At a meeting Wednesday of Clay Kellogg and Roy T. Edwu representing the 32nd Agricultural district and an Anaheim Chamber of Commerce committee consisting of Ken Hillyer, Chamber Commerce president; Warren Leigh, vice president; E. W. M. Miller, secretary; Richard Gay, chairman of the committee on receiving of Ken Hillyer, Chamber ter, chairman of the retail division, Moeller was named general manager of the entire event.

Let us see that our Hallowe'en Festival, on which we have spent lots of time and money, is not gobbled up in an attempt to get our hands on some easy dollars. We probably will not be asked but will nevertheless have our opinion. As long as this 'rumor' business is on our mind we may as well get something else down on paper and at least be counted. The Gazette, last week, had a story, along with a lot of good advertising that laid off the merchants who ran it, about a deal for the purchase of the Caltone plant by the California Fruit Growers Exchange. This story, which was exclusively published in the Gazette, was branded a rumor by another publication. Far be it from us to quibble but the story was not a rumor. We don't print rumors. If we did we would plainly say it was a rumor. We were brought up in the school of thought that when a story reaches the 'release' stage it ceases to be news and becomes merely run of the mill publicity. Why should the interested parties in a deal such as these two instances mentioned want to feed the public just the right words so that just the right interpretation should be put upon them? Don't they realize that John Public has a mind of his own and that only a small percentage of the people are impressed by propaganda? That is all a canned piece of publicity purports to be anyway. It is one of the great reasons that newspapers are looked at askance by too many people. A free people need to be informed and not propagandized. Sure, this is all corny and elementary but try to point out where the truth is lacking. Our natural modesty (?) almost kept this one out of print. It merely has to do with the business done by one of Anaheim's good stores last week. The fact that they use the Gazette exclusively in Anaheim is, of course, very interesting to us. They did more business last week than in any other week since the store has been here. We might add that they have been here for quite a few years. And don't forget that they advertise ONLY in the Gazette. This is no rumor. The real estate agent was trying hard to make a sale. "This seventh annual dahlia show on Aug. 20 and 21 when the Orange County Dahlia Society will again show their finest blooms and groups of blooms at the Y.M.C.A. building, Church and Sycamore streets in Santa Ana. The show will be open to the public from 3:00 until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 20, and from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, the 21st.

In the amateur division, a special award to the most outstanding entry in the various classifications will be made. The advanced amateur group will vie for a special award in several selections. The division open to all growers will include special awards for the most artistic arrangement in the various types of blooms, mass display, and 1948 seedlings, one year or older. The American Home Achievement Medal is offered for award to the originator, whether amateur or professional, of the most worthy undisseminated dahlia, whether shown by the originator or by someone else. The award will be made only to a new variety of adequate merit, distinction and novelty, one having distinctiveness as compared with existing varieties. Several special awards are announced for the largest dahlia, smallest dahlia and various displays. President of the Orange county society is Dr. G. Emmett Raitt of Santa Ana; secretary, Mrs. Althine Plummer of Costa Mesa, and show manager, E. A. B. Smith of Santa Ana. Another Water District For County Proposed The applications of the cities of Orange and La Habra to join the Coastal Municipal Water District so as to be in a position to receive water from the Metropolitan Water District were rejected at the meeting of the Coastal board Thursday night. It was pointed out by the board that Coastal district was formed Clay Kellogg and Roy T.

Miller, secretary; Richard Gay, chairman of the committee on receiving of Ken Hillyer, Chamber ter, chairman of the retail division, Moeller was named general manager of the entire event. Of his principal jobs will be to serve a liaison official between officials of the 32nd Agricultural district who have jurisdiction over the county fair, and the Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival. It has been determined that this range county's share this year will cut the state takes from its pari mutuels will be about $65,000. This amount would have been lost to the county had it been lost to the county had it been originally planned by the district whose purchase of a parish the old Santa Ana air base and fair grounds awaits approval congress. Moeller will have technical vice from Bob Fullenwider of Riverside county's date festival Indio, and A. E. Snyder of Fair grounds and expositions department of the state Division of Finance. Next Tuesday Is Big Day at Newport Beach Governor Earl Warren will deliver the address at the dedication of the new city hall at Newport Beach on August 24. Republican vice-presidential nominee was this week in New York with Governor Thomas E. DeWitt While the dedication will not take place officially opening of his campaign, his speech will be watched by political observers. Newport Beach's new city hall just completed at a cost of more than $250,000 represents a distinctive forward step in the application of the principles of modern architectural design to housing of a municipal administration. Constructed through brick and concrete, the building is thoroughly California Leo Carillo will be master ceremonies at the dedication exercises, which will be open with the prizes of the flag bidding competition. The real estate agent was trying hard to make a sale. "This house," he said, "was built with prewar materials." The prospective buyer took another look at the house. "Which war?" he asked.

New 264-Lot Subdivision At Buena Park A 57½ acre subdivision in the northwestern part of Buena Park has been approved by the county planning commission. Jewett brothers of Fullerton who have built several residential subdivisions in northern Orange county are the subdividers. They propose to develop 264 lots for single-family dwellings on the acreage, it was represented to the commission. August 27 the planning commission will hold a public hearing of an application for use permit for a factory at Garden Grove to manufacture sports footwear. A. Coutts is the applicant. Location proposed is at Nutwood and Pacific Electric tracks where an L-shaped building, 600 feet by 650 feet by 100 feet is proposed. He says he would employ as many as 300 men and women. County Proposed The applications of the cities of Orange and La Habra to join the Coastal Municipal Water District so as to be in a position to receive water from the Metropolitan Water District were rejected at the meeting of the Coastal board Thursday night. It was pointed out by the board that Coastal district was formed primarily to supply water to the south coastal area of Orange county and that future annexations would be confined to that area. At the same meeting representatives of Huntington Beach made tentative inquiries as to the board's attitude toward annexing that city. Disappointed in the action of the Coastal board on their applications, representatives of La Habra and Orange have begun talking of forming an inland district which would not only accept the application of the two cities but from inland agricultural lands as well. Their first step, these representatives decided, was to learn the attitude of MWD directors toward formation of another district in Orange county to take water from the Colorado river aqueduct. RECEIVES PRIZE AT LUTHERAN PICNIC Mrs. Ray Miller of Anaheim was awarded a second prize of a shag rug during the Lutheran Aid Association picnic held Sunday in Orange city park. The event was attended by more than 300 members and families from Orange county, Long Beach and Whittier. A first contest prize of an electric toaster went to Mrs. Elmer Lemke of Orange. Many smaller prizes were awarded. The Orange county baseball team, formed for the occasion, took the Long Beach team with a score of 17 to 8. Gazette Want Ads Bring Results.

RETURN FROM VISIT IN SACRAMENTO Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hilgenfeld, 120 East Broadway, returned to this city Tuesday after enjoying a visit with their daughter in Sacramento. Also enjoying a reunion with them was another daughter, Mrs. Robert Farrar of Santa Ana. There were no bank failures in the United States in the year 1945. Growers Glad Fruit to be Larger But Still Wonder Why Lt Is Small County growers of Valencia oranges read with hope the statement of Dr. L. D. Batchelder, head of the Citrus Experiment Station of the University of California, Riverside, that the station expects to have ready by next spring a formula for spraying trees which it was expected would improve orange sizes. Dr. Batchelder told the Exchange board and the growers who were their guests that the Experiment Station scientists had determined that a highly dilute solution of 2-4D would improve sizes without reducing the size of the crop, without affecting quality and without injuring the trees. They expected by early next spring to be ready to recommend the proper dilution of the highly potent plant growth regulator which, in heavy concentrations is used widely as a weed killer. Dr. Batchelder said the growth regulator, in proper dilution, reduced the amount of bloom on the tree and thus gave the remaining fruit a better chance to grow. But Orange county growers were telling each other this week that neither Dr. Batchelder nor anyone else had told them yet why the orange trees of southern California had, with occasional exceptions, produced crops of normal, satisfactory sizes up to and including the crop year 1943-44 and that beginning with the crop year 1944-45 sizes of both navels and Valencias have been so small that fruit sizes have been the principal selling problem of handlers and the limiting factor on the income of growers.

Moeller, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce who was granted an assistant at the last annual meeting of the chamber, this week announced his choice. The assistant manager of the Chamber of Commerce will be Rodney T. Parsons, at present a resident of Santa Ana. He is now looking for an Anaheim home and will move his family, consisting of his wife and one young son, here as soon as he finds one. Parsons has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Dakota whose school of business he attended. He served from 1940 to 1947 in the U.S. Army. After his discharge he served for a year as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Madison, S. D., but the lure of California drew him to the coast. Among many other things, he will serve as secretary of the chamber's membership committee and of its retail division. He will also be the chamber's statistician and will otherwise help take the load off Secretary Moeller's shoulders so the latter may devote more of his time to looking for new industries for Anaheim. The unfavorable weather affected the orange market versely was even worse than lemon market. Both volume sales and prices showed a decline. Sales volume was more than 125 cars during week and the price average about 25 cents a box more average of about $3.76 f.o.b.pared to an f.o.b. average corresponding week a year $9.57.

Two Fires on Center Street Fire in the Eagles' hall, 135½ West Center street, Saturday morning was blamed on a lighted cigarette thrown into a basket of papers in a wash room. The fire was not discovered until about a.m. when an unidentified stranger noticed water dripping into the front end of Weber's bookstore, 139 West Center. By that time the smouldering fire had burst into a blaze lively enough to melt fixtures in the wash room and release the water which dripped into the stationery and book store below. Fire Chief R. Nyboe estimated the damage done by the fire at about $1200, and A. W. Sowder, owner of Weber's Book Store, estimated water damage to his stock at about $1000 additional. Fire was discovered at about 2:04 a.m. in trash in the rear of the West Alpha Beta store, 510 West Center street. Firemen succeeded in dousing the blaze before any damage was done. Poor Citrus Market Blamed Junior Chamber Cancels 1948 Annual Swimming Meet Here Due to the current polio problem existing in Orange county and throughout southern California, the annual swimming meet, sponsored by the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce as one of its main projects held in the public interest, has been canceled, President Bob Williams stated. Cancellation of the event which was scheduled for Labor Day, September 6, was made in cooperation with a suggestion from Dr. Edward Lee Russell, Orange county health officer, who said it was not advisable under existing circumstances. Fullest cooperation in the precautionary fight against the dread disease was promised by the group of civic minded young business and professional men. The Junior Chamber urged cooperation with the county health department and listed symptoms as a sore throat, possible nausea followed by aching in the arms, legs and back. Nasal irritation, exhaustion, especially in hot weather from over exercising, unsanitary conditions such as open garbage cans and dust, non-extermination of household pests which are carriers of Poor Citrus Market Blamed On Weather Citrus fruit shippers this week famed unfavorable weather in the east and middle west for low prices and the fact that supplies are accumulating at market centers. In places in the south the highest temperatures of the year have been recorded but throughout the rest of the country the weather has been cool, and in many key points it has been rainy. Reports from the east indicate that citrus growers are not alone in their distress. All sorts of produce is reported to be moving slowly. Deciduous fruit supplies far under last year shipments but there still is enough to supply all demands and to give keen competition to citrus fruits. For the second time this year Valencia oranges averaged less than they did in the corresponding week last year. Last week's overall average was about $3.55 a box. In the corresponding week last year the overall average was 160. Sales of oranges increased last week about 100 cars over sales of the preceding week but the price average was about 22 cents a packed box below the average for the preceding week. Movement of southern California Valencias reached the halfway mark for the season last week. Brazilian oranges reached the eastern Canadian market in quantity last week with the unloading of 18,000 boxes on August 10. Another 140,000 boxes are scheduled to reach Montreal before the end of the month. Reports from Canada indicate the South American fruit so far received showedavy decay and since no storage space is available, it is anticited importers may take a severe hit on the Brazilian fruit. The unfavorable weather which affected the orange market added to all producing states this year will turn out to be about equal to the 1946-47 crop, the amount processed will be a great deal larger. The amount of fresh fruit in the season 1947-48 through August 7 totaled 140,500 cars for all states and all varieties. In the season 1946-47 the total was 162,500 cars. During the present season to August 7 the amount of oranges processed was the equivalent of 88,500 cars, compared to a total of 62,500 cars for all of last year. In the 1946-47 season 3500 cars of fruit was processed in California and so far this season the volume has increased to the equivalent of 5000 cars. In total cars, the big increase was in Florida which processed in the 1946-47 season a total of 52,000 cars and this season has processed 76,000 cars. About seven thousand more cars of grapefruit have been processed this season than went to the factories in the season 1946-47. Lemons have been about the same both seasons. State Royalties Cut Local Shore Of Off-shore Oil Huntington Beach tideland oil pool, an important tax source for the city and county, would be considerably more so but for exemption of state royalties. This was shown today by statistics from County Assessor Maurice Enderle’s office, where Deputy Daniel M. Waite, oil appraiser, disclosed that 12,417,231 barrels of oil were taken from the tideland wells between March 1, 1947, and the same date of 1948. The assessor valued that oil at $23,965,260 for tax purposes, and at the total tax rate for city, county, schools and special districts, roughly about $4 per $100 of assessed value, the tax would be close to $1,000,000. Waite estimated. But royalties to the state of California, owner of the tidelands until the U.S. supreme court ruled otherwise, takes 2,666,238, or 21.472 per cent, of those barrels of oil away from local assessment and taxation, this exemption amounting to $5,144,700 in assessed valuation, or roughly about $200,000 in tax money. That leaves a net of $18,820,560 in assessed valuation to the city and county. The state’s exempt share of the oil, said Waite, is worth about The Junior Chamber urged cooperation with the county health department and listed symptoms as a sore throat, possible nausea followed by aching in the arms, legs and back. Nasal irritation, exhaustion, especially in hot weather from over exercising, unsanitary conditions such as open garbage cans and dust, non-extermination of household pests which are carriers of germs such as the common house fly, were listed by Russell as possible sources of polio.

Sales volume was down more than 125 cars during last week and the price average fell about 25 cents a box more, to an average of about $3.76 f.o.b., compared to an f.o.b. average in the corresponding week a year ago of 157. That was the beginning of not spell throughout the country which gave lemons a joy ride lasting for several weeks.

As the growers of the county are well aware, shipments of Florida's big but low quality Valencias dropped to a trickle in July but some of this fruit, held in storage, was credited this week with having some limiting effect on the market for small but excellent quality southern California Valencias.
