Colony Quips The Gazette office was the scene of a lovely little birthday party Monday morning. A large birthday cake and coffee was served to the publisher by the office force, the occasion being another one of his birthdays. The Quips department would like to say that he is now old enough to get one of those shining new draft cards but we can't tempt fate that much. Anyway a good time was had by all and the cake and coffee melted away in record time. We only got one piece and are very expert at getting our hooks in for seconds. Betty MacDonald, author of "The Egg and I," is shaking in her boots these days. It has been rumored that Henry Wallace is writing a book to be titled "The Egg on Me" and that this new entry into the field of "hen fruit" studies might cut into the sale of the MacDonald book. If Hank writes this book the movie rights alone might bring him in some real dough. Just think how easy it would be to get people to throw eggs at him. We mean in the movies, of course. Seriously, we don't go along with the egg throwing group. It is a sad commentary on our vaunted freedom to have a candidate for the highest office in the land treated in this manner. This in spite of the fact that this man was in the heart of the most cynical bunch of politicoes ever to have control of our government. He was right in the middle of the bankers' recommendations: 1. Growers must affiliate with the Florida Citrus Mutual. 2. Only top quality fruit will be shipped to market. 3. Adoption of a volume prorate for inferior fruit. Indian River now has what serves as a volume prorate, for they have had 98 per cent grower membership as a group activity for the past 19 years. 4. Adoptions of a master brand Approval of Fair Up to State De State Fair Bars Juice Sale By Exchange. MO This is the second year in session that the California Growers Exchange and the mutual Orange Distributors, the big cooperatives of the California citrus fruit industry, have frozen out of the California Fair at Sacramento. The California Farmer gave this version of how the shu occurred: "Orange juice will be serve the State fair this year, but by Sunkist or MOD, the two ops which represent practically the citrus growers of the state and had hoped to launch at State Fair a new campaign move a large and burdensome crop of oranges. These co-ops they were given the run-arrows." Seriously, we don’t go along with the egg throwing group. It is a sad commentary on our vaunted freedom to have a candidate for the highest office in the land treated in this manner. This in spite of the fact that this man was in the heart of the most cynical bunch of politicoes ever to have control of our government. He was right in the middle of the ‘spend, spend, elect and elect’ school of thought that it about ready to bow out of the Washington scene. He helped sow the seed of mob discontent and now is reaping the eggs: Our friend and neighbor, Harry Horn, has long been selling heat around these parts. In fact, one of the slogans he used to good advantage was, ‘See Harry for Heat’ and you always got it when you saw Harry. He and the family are currently on a trip in the east and last Friday they landed in Washington to the tune of 110 degrees. That was heat that Harry was not selling but was paying for. In other words Harry got it when he saw Washington. Most of us get it one way or another when we see or hear from Washington and we mean heat. The Washington Daily News that came out on “Fry-Day” August 27, titled its issue as the ‘Very-Hot Weather Edition’ and ran a pic of a young lady holding a thermometer reading 110 degrees the day before Harry got there. Their comment: It’ll be the same today, thank you. You understand this Very-Hot-Weather Edition came out in the morning. Harry, his wife and daughter were not too well impressed by Manhattan Island, thought it was a wonderful place to ‘see’ but how anyone could live there was more than they could understand. They are hoping that we will hold the morning high fog and cool weather until they get home. They are having a fine trip but say, in no uncertain terms, that Anaheim will look very good to them. We can’t call them natives but think they are just about up to the place where they can be dubbed pioneers. A valiant attempt is being made to get Broadway back in the running as a well paved street. A coating of oil was sprayed on followed by an application of loose gravel and after the traffic had pushed the gravel into the gutter situation is to show improvement. The bankers’ recommendations: 1. Growers must affiliate with the Florida Citrus Mutual. 2. Only top quality fruit will be shipped to market. 3. Adoption of a volume prorate for inferior fruit. Indian River now has what serves as a volume prorate, for they have had 98 per cent grower membership as a group activity for the past 19 years. 4. Adoptions of a master brand and an increased advertising assessment. 5. Establishment of a citrus laboratory. 6. More rigid inspection of citrus. 7. The inclusion of processors in Florida Citrus Mutual also to be subject to volume control over the production of canned citrus products. 286 24- and 25-Year-Olds Register for Draft Here During First Three Days Citrus Prices Rise Sharply First of Week The orange market reached what was hoped was the low point of the season last week, and it showed a sharp advance the first of this week on all grades and sizes. Hot weather from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard was given most credit for the improvement. But there has been a marked decline in competition from deciduous fruit, and there usually is an improvement in the orange market with the return of the population from summer vacations and the opening of schools in many parts of the country. The lemon market which began to improve with the hot weather last week, showed its sharpest advance Monday when the average for all grades and sizes was $10.81 f.o.b. There was a moderation of weather in much of the country Tuesday and prices were easier but still at a satisfactory level. While only about 67 per cent of the oranges sent to market last week were 252s and smaller, compared to about 72 per cent during Eighty-nine 25-year-olds 197 24-year-olds had registered with the Anaheim Selective ice board up to midweek this in the nation’s second peace-military draft. Monday was set aside for men born in 1922, after A 30 and 89 responded to the c Anaheim. Tuesday and Wednesday were registration days; young men born during 1923 born in the year 1924 have turned today and tomorrow. The registration place is in lobby of the Anaheim Union school where high school teams and wives of American Lea naires under Chief Reg Charles Mann are recording registrants’ answers to 16 tions, as to marital status, tary experience, occupation so on. It required about 15 minutes process one registrant this but with experience the staff helpers was expected to pick speed. Picketing and some con among draft boards which duced a few incidents in parts of the nation were en absent here. Men born in 1925 are to enter Saturday and Tuesday registration office will be on Labor Day.) After that registration schedule is: Sept. 8—Men born in 1926 Sept. 9—Men born in 1926 A valiant attempt is being made to get Broadway back in the running as a well paved street. A coating of oil was sprayed on followed by an application of loose gravel and after the traffic had pushed the gravel into the gutter the process was repeated. After the second dose of loose gravel was pushed into the gutter by the traffic an old steel rail was dragged over the excess gravel in an attempt to get it back into the traffic lanes. The street continues to be anything but smooth and the whole deal, not to say anything about the dust, has made anything but an attractive thorofare. Not being an authority on highway engineering we can't say just what kind of a road Broadway will be next year. Will lay a small wager that a lot of residents will not be happy. It seems a shame that the California State Fair has given our two great orange co-operatives, the Sunkist Exchange and the Pure Gold MOD, the old run-round. Last year these two grower organizations tried to enter the Fair and sell orange juice to the thirsty public attending and were politely told that they were too late because the concession had already been sold. This year they started early, met with the Fair Board, and were told to put in a bid a week or so later. A few days later the representatives went up north, the first meeting was at Bixby's home in Long Beach, and were told that the concession had already been sold, the beer, fruit juice and soft drink deal having The lemon market which began to improve with the hot weather last week, showed its sharpest advance Monday when the average for all grades and sizes was $10.81 f.o.b. There was a moderation of weather in much of the country Tuesday and prices were easier but still at a satisfactory level. While only about 67 per cent of the oranges sent to market last week were 252s and smaller, compared to about 72 per cent during most of the season, the price average fell to about $2.90, f.o.b. This was 20 cents less per box than the average for the preceding week. It was not only the lowest average for the preceding week this season but the lowest average for the corresponding week in any of the three preceding years. In the corresponding week last year the average was $3.25; in 1947, $4.86 and in 1945, $3.72. Based upon sales the first of this week, there were predictions that the average this week would be 50 cents a box higher. The remaining volume of Valencias yet to be shipped is about 12,000 cars — 28 per cent less than the volume remaining at this time last year. Even though dealers were well supplied with lemons with the beginning of last week, sales volume went up almost 50 cars during the week and the price average for all sizes and grades improved during the week $1.47 cents over the previous week. Last week's average of $5.23 compared with an average of $9.42 for the corresponding week last year, $3.31 in 1946 and $4.45 in 1945. The Lemon Administrative Committee voted that the pratee for this week should be 300 cars, but after learning of the demand Monday the pratee was increased 100 cars to 400. First man to register in heim was Dean Stephen South Olive. A half dozen giving out-of-state addresses registered here so far, those preponderant majority are... Approval of Fair-Hallowe’en Plans to State Department of Finance State Fair Bars Juice Sale By Exchange. MOD Orange juice will be served at State fair this year, but not junkist or MOD, the two co-which represent practically all citrus growers of the state, had hoped to launch at the Fair a new campaign to a large and burdensome of oranges. These co-ops feel were given the run-around the State Fair management. The Hallowe’en Festival committee of the Chamber of Commerce decided at its meeting Tuesday morning that some happy holder of an Anaheim Hallowe’en Festival button should become the owner of a 1949 Ford club coupe which now is on display at the McCoy Motor company show room on North Los Angeles street. No further plans for the Silver Anniversary of the Hallowe’en Festival, which this year will be combined with the Orange County Fair, it was decided, could be made until a conference is held this weekend at Sacramento between A. E. Snider, chief of the department of fairs and expositions of the California state department of finance, and H. Clay Kellogg, representing the 32nd Agricultural district (fair board), E. H. Moeller, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, who last week was named secretary-manager of the county fair and Robert Fullenwider of Corona, manager of the River-side county date festival, who is going to be technical advisor to Moeller. The dates for the Orange county fair, its budget and New Telephone Directory Put Out This Week The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company this week began delivery of about 44,600 copies of its new Orange county telephone directory to subscribers in 34 communities, it was announced by R. J. Rossberg. The new directory replaced the old book, dated December, 1947, and the Santa Ana supplemental directory, issued in June. R. J. Rossberg asked subscribers to turn in their old books to the directory deliveryman at the time the new book is distributed. Largest by far of any previous telephone directory issued in Orange county, the September, 1948 edition contains about 6,000 more listings and is 31 pages thicker than the current directory. The new book has a green cover and will be in service for nine months, the manager said.

These co-ops feel were given the run-around the State Fair management their story may produce a number of orange-red faces. Orange juice is to be dispensed the State Fair by the Gremlin Men Orange Juice Co., which joined a sub-concession from a Francisco man who was given exclusive for beer and soft drinks at the fairgrounds. A rep (Continued on Page 8) Molds Register for Last Three Days Eighty-nine 25-year-olds and 24-year-olds had registered in the Anaheim Selective Servicer board up to midweek this week the nation's second peace-time draft. Monday was set aside for young men born in 1922, after August and 89 responded to the call in Rheim. Tuesday and Wednesday were registration days for men born during 1923. Men in the year 1924 have their today and tomorrow. The registration place is in the city of the Anaheim Union high school where high school teachers wives of American Legion nurses under Chief Registrar Charles Mann are recording the distrants' answers to 16 questions, as to marital status, military experience, occupation and education. Required about 15 minutes to access one registrant this week with experience the staff of officers was expected to pick up. Packeting and some confusion long draft boards which probed a few incidents in other parts of the nation were entirely absent here. Men born in 1925 are to register Saturday and Tuesday. (Theistration office will be closed Labor Day.) After that the registration schedule is: At. 8—Men born in 1926. At. 9—Men born in 1926. Rubber Factory Granted Permit By Supervisors Over the protests of many owners of homes and ranch property in the vicinity affected, the county board of supervisors this week accepted the recommendation of the county planning commission that a land use permit be issued to A. Coutts for construction of a manufacturing plant on the east side of Nutwood avenue and the north side of the Pacific thicker than the current directory. The new book has a green cover and will be in service for nine months, the manager said. Day’s Argument Resulted in 1400 Car Prorate Advocates of high volume and partisans of low volume on the Orange Administrative Committee at their weekly battle decided that California this week should ship 1400 cars. There partisans of prorate figures ranging from 1200 to 1500 cars. The 1400 car prorate was chosen only with Vice-Chairman Hodgson casting the deciding vote. Those supporting a small shipment believe that the orange market will improve if it has less fruit to digest. Those urging a high prorate argue that signs point to a better orange market without putting it on a starvation diet. They argue, besides, that Florida is going to ship early this winter and the market for California Valencias will collapse under competition from the southern state. Accordingly they are trying for a California clean-up by November. The OAC still insists the 1948 California Valencia crop is going to total about 52,500 cars for the season. Wife of Former Gazette Employee Dies on Saturday Mrs. Vera McKee, wife of Lawrence J. McKee, a former employee of the Anaheim Gazette as linotype operator, passed away at her home in Huntington Park last Saturday after an illness of about ten days.

Coutts for construction of a manufacturing plant on the east side of Nutwood avenue and the north side of the Pacific Electric railway right-of-way in Garden Grove. The application said Coutts would manufacture rubber sports footwear and sundries.

The factory building, Coutts said, is to be L-shaped, 650 feet by 100 feet in one direction and 300 feet by 100 in the other. He said the plant would produce no odors, fumes or underground pollution. The supervisors' room was filled Tuesday for the hearing, many residents of Garden Grove protesting the granting of the permit on the ground that it would depreciate the value of their homes and ranches. The supervisors granted the permit without division, however. The vote in the planning commission had been 3 to 2. During the hearing it was stated that the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce had been trying to secure the location of the factory there.

Housing Needed Now for New El Toro Workers The housing situation in Orange County which became as serious as any place in the state during the war and has not eased perceptibly since, has suddenly become critical. Within the next few months certain major overhaul and repair facilities at the Marine Corps Air Station at El Toro which have been "mothballed" since the end of the war are to be reactivated. This will result in the employment of approximately 3000 more civilians for whom homes have to be found. Major General L. E. Woods of the Marine Corps has asked Walter Schmid, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County, to help him and Schmid has in turn asked the cooperation of every city, town and community in the county in solving this admittedly tough problem. As his top aid in this effort, Schmid has called upon Walter Mellott, chairman of Associated's housing committee. Anyone having any housing accommodations, from a single room to a furnished apartment or house, may signify the fact to William Gallienne, secretary of the Associated Chambers of Com- Anaheim Postoffice This Week Adds More Air Mail Services for Patrons Urge Program to Conserve County Water Supply County-wide organization with the aim of solving the water problem that faces the rural and unincorporated areas was given a favorable vote by the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce at a meeting last Thursday night at La Palma Grill with President Kenneth Hellyer presiding. A report of the Conservation and Agricultural committee of the chamber which recommended that the local chamber petition the county Associated Chambers of Commerce to act immediately toward a solution, was approved by the directors. The underground water tables of the county are dropping with serious rapidity, the committee's report showed. Agricultural interests have been forced ot spend One new and one expanded service were added this week by the Anaheim postoffice for its patrons. The new service is a nationwide air parcel post. The expanded service consists of an additional stop by the mail-carrying helicopter. The helicopter has heretofore been making two stops a day. Beginning September 1 the plane has been scheduled to pick up and deliver mail three times a day, at 7:35 a.m., 12:43 p.m. and 6:52 p.m. at the landing field at the east end of La Palma park. A flood light will have to be installed at the field for the latest stop before the shortest days of the year arrive. At least 40 minutes before the landing times of the helicopter the mail must be put in the postoffice drop to allow time for typing out the mail and hauling it to the landing field. For a long time parcels have been carried by mail at the regular first class air mail rate of 5 cents an ounce. But since the first of this month an air parcel post rate schedule has been fixed under which parcels can be mailed for 55 cents a pound for the first two State to Try Again for Appropriation For Carbon Canyon Flood Control Twenty-Thirtians Give City 28 'Safety Sallies' Twenty-eight Safety Sallies, little plywood girls designed to aid in protecting youngsters at school crossings, were presented last week to the city of Anaheim by the local 20-30 club, as a part of their annual service activities. All club members participated in the project which was under the chairmanship of Ralph Spencer and sub-chairman Gordon Ferguson. Some 72 markers, painted by Twenty-Thirtians, were used by this city last year. The repair and addition of the 28 Sallies gives the city more than a sufficient number for the coming school term to begin September 13, Spencer disclosed. This year Sallies will go to outlying school districts and communities, which do not have 20-30 clubs, through the courtesy of the local group, club spokesmen said. Each Sally stands four feet tall and boasts blue-eyes and a bright six-color ensemble, decorated with the 20-30 club emblem. Eleven years old, Safety Sally made her debut in March, 1937, with the 20-30 club of Orange her sponsor. Today there are more than 800 markers standing guard At a meeting scheduled for tomorrow at Sacramento the Water Resources Board is expected to decide how much money to ask from the federal government for the Carbon Canyon flood control projects. It is listed along with 22 others throughout the state for 1949-50 fiscal year operations. The government did the engineering work on the project several years ago but it has been marking time since awaiting an appropriation for the work. The project includes a large dam a few hundred yards down Carbon Canyon creek from the old oil town of Olinda and some work on the channel from the dam to a point on the Placentia-Yorba highway where the creek opens into the Santa Ana river valley, a distance of three or more miles. To many ranchers near the mouth of the creek, this flood control project is the most pressing in the state. Carbon Canyon catches flood waters from Carbon creek, Soquel canyon and Telegraph canyon, and in years of moderate to heavy rainfall discharges a large volume of water onto the flood plain south of the Placentia - Yorba highway and nearby Orangethorpe boulevard. In spite of a considerable amount of money spent on bridges at the mouth of the creek a great deal of damage is usually done even in years of moderate rainfall. In years of heavy rainfall floodwaters of Carbon Canyon extent to Hellyer presiding. A report of the Conservation and Agricultural committee of the chamber which recommended that the local chamber petition the county Associated Chambers of Commerce to act immediately toward a solution, was approved by the directors. The underground water tables of the county are dropping with serious rapidity, the committee's report showed. Agricultural interests have been forced to spend much money for the deepending of wells and for pumping equipment because many wells have dropped as much as 65 feet during the past year, according to the report. Persons living in rural areas should solve their water problem since they are the ones depleting (Continued on Page 8) For a long time parcels have been carried by mail at the regular first class air mail rate of 5 cents an ounce. But since the first of this month an air parcel post rate schedule has been fixed under which parcels can be mailed for 55 cents a pound for the first two zones and up to 80 cents a pound for the most distant zone. Under the old arrangement Anaheim was a liberal patron of air parcel post service. Machine repair parts, late-purchased presents and flowers have been frequently shipped by air. Postmaster Louis H. Hoskins is confident the volume of shipments by air from Anaheim will greatly increase with new service. Distinctive air parcel post stickers in red, white and blue, bearing a likeness of a winged package with the earth's globe beneath will soon be available without cost to patrons of the Anaheim postoffice, Hoskins said. International air parcel post from the United States to foreign countries has been available for several months.
