State Fair to Ban Juice Sale By Exchange (Continued from Page 1) resentative of the Gremlin company tells us by telephone that instead of their usual product—a blend of frozen and fresh orange—they will sell freshly-pressed juice at the State Fair for 10 cents a small portion. "The story of the co-ops is an interesting example of their alertness in seeking new outlets for California's great crop. They started last year to set up a service offering cooled fresh orange juice to perspiring visitors at the principal fairs where people consume large quantities of often poorly-cooled synthetic drinks. "These two co-ops reached an agreement with Sam Dunham of the Anderson-Dunham Boarding Supply Co. which handles large-scale feeding contracts. They served the contractors at Hoover Dam. Dunham, who was to do the dispensing, agreed to a carefully-drawn statement of standards of quality and service. This provided that oranges of "Sunkist" and "Pure Gold" quality must be used, the juice must be cooled to 40 degrees without dilution by ice, must be run through finishers to remove coarse pulp and any seeds, and served at 10 cents for a 5½-ounce portion. "Food Machinery Corporation agreed to loan a large extractor for the project. Equipment for production, cooling and dispensing would be expensive, and it was hoped to kickoff at the State Fair and get started on an ambitious program of serving other fairs. "But when the co-ops approached the State Fair last year they were told they were too late—that Wahlberg Gives Some Hints on Walnut Harvest Walnut growers are getting ready for the walnut harvest which will start by the middle of September in the commercial orchards of the county. People with two or three or a dozen trees in their backyards and on small farms should also begin harvest by that time, says H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor. Walnuts are at the peak of their quality as soon as the kernel is mature. The kernels usually are mature about the first week of September. Begin shaking the trees, Wahlberg urges, as soon as about 15 per cent of the hulls are cracked. Sort out those with the hulls-stuck to the shell—the green stick-tights—and don't try to hull them. Put them into sacks or spread them out in four-inch deep layers in slat bottom trays and give them a "water-sweat." This means put them in the shade, turn water on them and soak them thoroughly every two or three hours throughout the day, covering after each soaking. Within about four or five days, the hulls on these green stick-tight walnuts will loosen. Then they may be hulled and dried. Hulls can better be removed by ethylene gas, but this is not practical for less than commercial acreage. As soon as the hulls are off, nuts should be dried. A dehydrator is best and open trays next best. One of the poorest places to dry walnuts is on a barn or garage floor. Ventilation is poor and you'll dry slowly. If you must use it, have the walnuts only one layer down. Will Try to "Do Something At Bad Crossing" Representatives of trucking panies and the Santa Fe railroad are expected to attend a midnight of the Orange County Traffic Safety Council at Ana city hall where an effort be made to make less hazardous "most dangerous grade" driving in California." That crowd as all truck drivers in some California know, is the crest of the Santa Fe tracks at the eastern end of the Placentia-highway. At that point west-bound has to make a right-angle immediately pull up a sharp and cross the busy San Francisco road that under the best conditions would be considered densely narrow. There is a dip on the west side of the road, so east and west bounces are obscured from each other trees and other obstructions secure the railroad from mobile traffic. Many of the worst trucks carry loads of gas from refineries of the Los Angeles Harbor district and by law are required to stop at the rear crossing. A fast Santa Fe approaching the crossing freeway can come around a bend crash a slow moving truck it can clear the crossing. One of the things the council is expected to do meeting tonight is request that movel of 98 trees which he secure railway and automobile fic from each other. Members of the council say the trees are boundary line between state railroad property. finishers to remove coarse pulp and any seeds, and served at 10 cents for a 5½-ounce portion. "Food Machinery Corporation agreed to loan a large extractor for the project. Equipment for production, cooling and dispensing would be expensive, and it was hoped to kickoff at the State Fair and get started on an ambitious program of serving other fairs. "But when the co-ops approached the State Fair last year they were told they were too late—that an overall contract had already been let for beverages. "This year they sought to be on time. A summer meeting of the State Fair board was held at the ranch of President Fred Bixby at Long Beach, and Sam Dunham, Russ Eller of Sunkist, Art Isham of MOD, and the manager of the National Orange Show attended. They report that Bixby invited them to put in a bid 30 days later at the meeting of the State Fair board at Sacramento. But when they arrived at Sacramento for that purpose, they were told they should have had their bid in earlier, and that having failed to do so the concession had been awarded in the general drinks contract. The fair management takes refuge in its minutes of the Long Beach meeting, which the citrus delegation agree was not their understanding of the assurances given them. "They did finally put in a bid to pay 2 mills for each person entering the fairgrounds. They say they were told that was the high bid, but that it was decided not to separate drink concessions, so beer, fruit juices, pop, etc., were all lumped together. "The Los Angeles County Fair welcomed the deal and gave Dunham a feeding in addition to the orange juice concession. "Co-op leaders are pretty sore. They had planned to go to the Stockton and other county fairs if they got the State Fair contract, and move to Middle West fairs next year. They feel that this program would be fine advertising for the State's famous crop, would help take the pressure off crop surpluses, and provide the public with healthful drinks."

Hard Liquor Tax Take Still Falls in State (Western News Service) Alcoholic beverage taxes collected during May showed a $66,236 decline from the same month a year ago, state liquor administrator George M. Stout has announced. The first release of these figures showed that distilled spirits accounted for $959,-722 of total collections and beer and wine accounted for the $208,-159 remainder. Stout said that the Board of Equalization had ordered 4 licenses suspended and revoked 2 for violations of the alcoholic control act in the San Bernardino-Orange Administrative District. The Board also denied 6 applications for beverage licenses in the district.

Urge Programs to Conserve County Water Supply (Continued from page 1) the water supply, the report stipulated. It pointed out that Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana had assured themselves, it is hoped, ample water by going in the Metropolitan Water District. A report drawn up in 1946 and submitted by the Public Utilities committee under the direction of Leo Sheridan was taken into consideration in formulating the current report. Recommended was the working out and adoption of a definite plan and method of financing the conservation of the present water supply by a political unit having jurisdiction. Forty-eight new members of the chamber will be inducted during a "kickoff" breakfast, late in September, which will launch the silver anniversary Hallowe'en Festival. Preliminary steps are being taken by the Hallowe'en Festival several weeks in advance of last year's schedule, Chairman Glen Hipes stated. The "Keep Anaheim Ahead" program will continue to operate with the same organization, said Merle Soden, chairman of the membership committee. SCHEDULE NEMAHA COUNTY PICNIC All former residents of Nemaha county, Nebraska, whether living here now or visiting southern California, are invited to attend the all day Nemaha county picnic in Anaheim City park next Sunday, Mrs. J. H. Daugherty stated. Anaheim Your Shopping Center Will Try to "Do Something" At Bad Crossing Representatives of trucking companies and the Santa Fe railway are expected to attend a meeting right of the Orange County Traffic Safety Council at Santa Ana city hall where an effort will be made to make less hazardous "most dangerous grade crossings in California." That crossing, all truck drivers in southern California know, is the crossing the Santa Fe tracks at the east-end of the Placentia-Yorba Linda highway. At that point west-bound traffic must make a right-angle turn, immediately pull up a sharp grade and cross the busy Santa Fe tracks at an oblique angle on a road under the best of conditions would be considered dangerously narrow. There is a sharp bend on the west side of the crossroad, so east and west bound cars obscured from each other, and buses and other obstructions obstruct the railroad from the automobile traffic. Many of the heaviest trucks carry loads of gasoline from refineries of the Los Angeles Harbor district and by law these are required to stop at the railway crossing. A fast Santa Fe train approaching the crossing from the west can come around a bend, and rush a slow moving truck before can clear the crossing. One of the things the traffic council is expected to do at the meeting tonight is request the revival of 98 trees which help obstruct railway and automobile traffics from each other. Members of the council say the trees are on a boundary line between state and broad property. Having talked, for some time, in my weekly newspaper letter, and in my weekly radio report, about coming home by boat, with varying difficulties, I should at least report to you that we finally made it, and that I'm home. I find a general interest in this method of travel and several questions waiting for me, about how to arrange it, and what it's like. There's no mystery about it. There are all sizes and kinds of ships, commercially, from the big passenger ships which carry hundreds of passengers and little or no cargo, to the ships, big or little, which carry mostly cargo, and few if any passengers. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The bigger ships have more comforts, perhaps I should say luxuries, with accompanying formalities, and are generally faster. Ships like the French Line cargo and passenger boat, about which I spoke last week, fill a sort of middle place, and freighters, like the Dartmouth Victory, on which we just came home, put cargo first, and the passengers are incidental. The Steel Architect, on which we expected to come home, leaving Brooklyn July 14, would have carried up to twelve people, and showers and toilet for the men. The rest of the square space was taken up by a passage, a small room with three-tier berths, and a small shower-toilet for the officers. The guns were mounted on the top of the "bungalow" and on the rear deck. The ammunition was stored below. The company simply made the connecting sleeping rooms into one bedroom with two beds, and a nicely furnished lounge with comfortable chairs, a small electric refrigerator for the constant snacks which seem to be necessary on every sea voyage, and an electric hot plate for the early morning coffee and afternoon tea. Two passengers used the larger shower room. The small officers quarters were made into a two-bunk bedroom with the adjoining private bath and toilet. It was a comfortable arrangement. Cots were put on the deck if we wanted to sleep out on hot nights, and we had four chairs like those we think of Hollywood movie directors using, only we didn't have our names painted on ours. The time always goes too quickly, and it is the only way I know to get a rest, sea level, no mail deliveries, no newspapers, no telegrams, no telephones, and actually on radio, although the ship's radio did try, somewhat unsuccessfully to pick up shore stations. It wasn't until we got in sight of Long Beach that I heard Russia had closed her consulates. I rise to remark that I hope that won't fool you too much. They were largely listening posts, and I regret to add that the USSR has plenty left, unofficial ones. You can't always find a freighter going where you want to go, when you want it.

The Steel Architect, on which we expected to come home, leaving Brooklyn July 14, would have carried up to twelve people, and would have stopped at Cristobal and Balboa, but the Dartmouth Victory, which from the name you will see is one of the Victory ships of the late war, this one built by Kaiser in the Portland plant, carried a maximum of four, and came straight through. During the war, the gun crew occupied a sort of bungalow on the after deck. Then it had two connecting rooms, with bunks, another room of the same size, used for the mess, and when the men were off duty, and a room with You can't always find a freighter going where you want to go, when you want it.
