Interest in Bagged Oranges Easing Off While some local packing plants report the interest in bagged-in-California oranges seems to be as lively as ever, the majority opinion is that the trade is losing interest in this type of package. At Frank Belmont’s Granada packing house which pioneered in bagging small sized Valencias it was said that orders for bagged fruit had dropped during the summer. This lack of interest in packaged oranges was attributed to the fact that California oranges were not shipping as well as they did last year and that spoiled fruit, showing up in the bags, was hurting sales of the packaged fruit. The California Fruit Growers Exchange which tried shipping fruit in bags interstate for the first time this year was even more emphatic in asserting the demand for oranges bagged in California had fallen off. It said that many of the larger markets which have been placing orders regularly have discontinued this type of package. It blames the development of decay in bagged-in-California fruit for the loss of interest. “Such outlets as Kansas City, Denver, Hartford and Portland, Me., and the southern markets where bags had previously been popular report the trade is apparently not seeking this package.” A report from Hartford said practically all cars showed some decay and many bags had to be reconditioned. “One car,” the report continued, “showed only Rosamond Neukom Passes Thursday Mrs. Rosamond L. Neukom, 43, died at her home, 425 West Alberta street, Anaheim, on Thursday of last week after a brief illness. A native of Terre Haute, Indiana, she had lived in Anaheim since 1937. She was a member of the Anaheim chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and belonged to the First Christian Church of Santa Ana. Surviving are her husband, Charles A. Neukom of the family home, owner of the Five Points Pharmacy; four sisters, Mrs. Helen Brown of New York, Mrs. Margaret Murphy, Mrs. Mildred Pratt and Mrs. Dorothy Kiefer, all of Indianapolis, Indiana. Funeral services were held at 11 o’clock Saturday morning from the chapel of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary with members of the Order of Eastern Star officiating at the service. The body was shipped to Terre Haute, Indiana, for interment. State Fair Plans Are Well Advanced (Western News Service) Preparations for the California State Fair, September 2 through 12 are well under way, Ned Green, secretary-manager has announced. The fair has obtained the services of Jeannette MacDonald, radio, screen and concert singer, who will be on the show Governor’s Day, September 9. Sunday, September 12, the last day of the fair, has been designated as a special day for veterans, and a day-long program has been arranged. "Such outlets as Kansas City, Denver, Hartford and Portland, Me., and the southern markets where bags had previously been popular report the trade is apparently not seeking this package." A report from Hartford said practically all cars showed some decay and many bags had to be reconditioned. "One car," the report continued, "showed only slight decay on arrival but broke down completely and had to be reconditioned throughout. It again began to show decay and the jobber had to dump the bagged contents into boxes and sell the fruit as low as $3 jumbled." This gave the Exchange a fair opportunity again to expound its view that fruit should be bagged near the point of purchase to assure soundness and eliminate the reconditioning of bags. Many of the larger eastern jobbers and chain groups, says the Exchange, are bagging fruit, but, it adds, the far western wholesalers prefer bagged-in-California oranges.

Rev. Beebe has served the past Laud Holiday Stage’s ‘Hasty Heart’ Production Ovations of an enthusiastic audience brought curtain call after curtain call for the performance of “The Hasty Heart,” Holiday Stage’s current presentation at Tustin high school auditorium costarring the strawhatter’s versatile Oliver Cliff and Marshall Thompson, talented young MGM star. The play, which closes following the Saturday matinee and the evening show at 8:30 o'clock at the theater on 101 Highway, tells the heartwarming story of a Scots sergeant who finds purpose to life and the meaning of real friendship while in an Army hospital near the Assam-Burma front. Author John Patrick’s play shows a high dramatic balance between pathos and humor as the group of well contrasted personalities attempt to draw out Thompson (Lachlen) into behaving as a part of the whole of humanity of a man alone, defensive and defiant to the world with only distrust for mankind. Cliff interprets the role of “Yank” who has a slight stutter in his speech, which actually doesn’t affect what he says. Through “Yank,” who refuses to be called a “yankee” because he comes from Georgia, the playwright expresses the basic philosophy of the drama. Bobker Ben Ali, character actor and stage director for West Coast productions played the part of "Tommy," a "bloody" Englishman with a large physique and an even larger sense of earthy humor. Thompson, a former student of ministry at Occidental college, Los Angeles, has appeared in such films as “Homecoming” and “B.F.'s Daughter.” This fall Cliff will re- Loucks-Black Wedding Suit Mr. and Mrs. K.W. 4845 Park Avenue, W. announce the marriage daughter, Janice D.
