Colony Quips The boys and girls are back in school—or they should be—here in Anaheim and Orange county. In happy contrast to the terrible situation in Los Angeles we have room for all children in our public schools. Our parents do not have to stand in line with their 'hopefuls' to get into school and even then find there is not room for hundreds of the little darlings. The people in this area should be very thankful that we have the room and the teachers to handle the pupil load in adequate fashion. We, too, have had a great increase in population, but so far—and we have a sneaking hunch that it is due to good management—have been able to take good care of the increased load. If the Republicans are successful in 'turning the rascals out' in the November election there will be a whole host of Federal employees looking for a job. These 'do gooders' should have a place to go other than coming into the 'help' market of American business. Perhaps the new State department can give them special permission to go over to Russia and get on Uncle Joe's payroll. This simple act would serve at least two fine purposes, (1) it would lower our governmental money outlay and (2) it would take out, of the country a prize collection of un-American 'brains.' We are perfectly able to say the above is plain, blunt, forceful, picturesque and even profane lan- VOLUME LXXVII ANAHEIM Council Approves Purchase of Third Off-Street Parking Lot Anaheim is going to add another off-street free parking lot to the two it already owns and operates, it was indicated by action taken at the meeting of the city council Tuesday night. A resolution adopted by the council authorized the purchase of a lot for that purpose on North Lemon street just north of the alley between Center and Chartres street. The lot is 182.5 feet by 91.5 feet and the back end adjoins the city's No. 1 parking lot facing on Chartres street. The authorized price was $5775. The lot was held in the name of the Community Industrial land company. The council at the same meeting also adopted a resolution setting up a new rate schedule for electric power provided by the city power plant. The new schedule affects only industrial users of power and only when their monthly use exceeds 400,000 kilowatts hours. The increase is half a mile for power used in excess of 400,000 kilowatts per month. The council also: Heard a first reading of an ordinance establishing a setback at the corner of Los Angeles and West Adelaide streets providing for The football season gets under full swing this week end and that means that many friends of the rest of the year will be 'enemies' for the duration of this hectic season. The UCLA Bruins and the SC Trojans do not figure very high in the pre-season standings but will give their backers plenty to cheer about before the year is over (we hope). Anyway all the PCC teams will play the best they know how and will give out with the old college try. The JC's and High schools will do the same. In these classes the game can be called Sport with the capital in place. Their partisans will bemoan their mistakes of which there will be a lot but they all will be honest ones and not made to upset the gambling boys odds. The public seems to be sold with both southern members of the PCC announcing a great pre-season sale of tickets. The UCLA Bruins have released no comparative figures but the SC Trojans have broken all records in the advanced sale of their season ducats. Leo Sheridan and Bob Boney may hop a rattler to take in the World Series. They have been hoping that the Athletics would be in there and we suspect that they figure Mr. Mack would pave the way for them to get tickets. It looks now that all they will have to do to see the series is to get to Boston. They both like beans and fish so the trip should do them good. Dr. Charles Schutz, Everett Cone, Art Shipkey and Carroll Cone, accompanied by two out of town friends, left Monday for an Elk and Moose hunt in Wyoming. The six of them took three one-ton pick up trucks with them to bring back a winters supply of meat. Over-load springs were attached to all the trucks and some talk was going on about reserving a refrigerated railroad car during the war has attracted another institution to Orange county. The latest is the Southern California Bible College which for the past 21 years has been located at Pasadena. It is a four-year college. College authorities have announced they have purchased 128.6 acres of the former air base and have architects working on the first units of a long-range building program. With the land the college acquired 17 air base buildings which will be made ready for college use by the first of next June. Dr. Irvine Harrison will be the president of the college upon its removal to Orange county. The college will face Newport avenue and will be almost back-to-back to the buildings to be used by the Coast Junior college which opened Monday for its first term. The Southern California Bible College is a coeducational institution. The college is and has been a religious institution but its classes are not confined to students for the ministry. The buildings at present used by the college in Pasadena are on a four acre tract which the institution has outgrown. It hopes for an attendance of 300 to 500 students when it opens in its new location. Its faculty includes 16 instructors and five or six more are to be added here. J. C. Penney Co. Celebrates 46 Years of Service Forty-six years of service to the citizens of the United States is the occasion for celebration of the nation-wide J. C. Penney Company, who now boast more than 1600 stores in the 48 states. The first store was opened in the small mining village of Kemmerer, Wyoming, in 1902. Mr. Penney started the enterprise with two partners and $500 in capital. The original store opened as the "Golden Rule" store because Mr. Penney, a former dry goods store clerk, believed the public would patronize a store that priced its goods plainly and sold them only at one price. It was established in an era when credit ran for months or years, hence the idea of selling for cash. Although todays prices can hardly be titled a dollar's value for a dollar yet the J. C. Penney Gave tentative approval of a plan outlined by W. T. Backer to establish a bus line in Anaheim. The council's finance committee reported expenditures for the last half of August amounted to $38,469.25. There remained $67,290.80 in the general fund and a total of $317,770.35 in the city treasury. Collections by the public service department amounted during August to $57,287.55 of which $5454.92 was for sanitary services. Parking meter collections for August amounted to $2388. In addition the police, according to Chief Mark Stephenson, issued 295 parking citations. Traffic citations for the month numbered 99 and the police made 70 arrests, 40 of them of drunks. City Judge L. P. Bonnat handled 453 cases during August and collected $2966.86 in fines. Fire Chief Rudolph Nyboe reported there was a total of six fire alarms during August and the damage totaled $77,300 — from fires at the Anaheim Citrus Products plant and at Weber's Book Store. He also reported that 49 building permits had been issued during the month, covering construction costing $226,730. During August the city service department set an all-time record for the amount of water used in Anaheim. The department purchased from the Metropolitan Water District 99,489,200 gallons of water and pumped from its own wells an additional 3,805,400 Dr. Charles Schutz, Everett Cone, Art Shipkey and Carroll Cone, accompanied by two out of town friends, left Monday for an Elk and Moose hunt in Wyoming. The six of them took three one-ton pick up trucks with them to bring back a winters supply of meat. Over-load springs were attached to all the trucks and some talk was going on about reserving a refrigerated railroad car in case of overflow. All reports are that the guides up there are very good shots. The occupants of the three trucks are only 'big' shots. Jess Medaris is constructing a building on the west side in which he will have his Real Estate offices together with several other spaces to rent. He was offered a fine lease by an eating place but after mature consideration turned it down. Jess figured that he would spend too much time in there himself and that at the end of the month he would owe them more money than they owed him. There also would not be enough time left to operate the Real Estate business. Something must be wrong. It has been all of three days now since a new washing powder with super-something action has appeared on the market. It is reported that radio comedians this fall will try to cook up some new jokes. Talking too much and thinking too little has spoiled many a career. Approximately three in every four members of the male labor force in the United States between the ages of 21 and 28 are veterans. The original store opened as the "Golden Rule" store because Mr. Penney, a former dry goods store clerk, believed the public would patronize a store that priced its goods plainly and sold them only at one price. It was established in an era when credit ran for months or years, hence the idea of selling for cash. Although todays prices can hardly be titled a dollar's value for a dollar, yet the J. C. Penney Company still tries to give that value, believing that a customer who felt he or she had received his money's worth would come back again. The many stores are still under the capable guidance of Mr. James C. Penney, the founder and now honorary chairman of the board of directors, E. C. Sams, board chairman, and A. W. Hughes, the president. Anaheim's own J. C. Penney store was established in 1922, and is managed by Oscar S. Solter and the assistant manager, T. C. McLaughlin. A number of courteous employees are at the service of the public, selling complete furnishings for men, women and children on two large floors and the basement. At the rear of the store is a large off street parking lot for the convenience of the many old friends, and new ones, of the J. C. Penney Company. One of the earliest recorded cold spells in England occurred in 1205, when the ground was frozen from mid-January until the first day of spring. The result was a food shortage and a tenfold price increase. Experts have found that a container of charcoal in an apple cold storage will delay the ripening process and help keep the fruit fresh longer.

During August the city service department set an all-time record for the amount of water used in Anaheim. The department purchased from the Metropolitan Water District 99,489,200 gallons of water and pumped from its own wells an additional 3,805,400 gallons. The water level at the city wells at the end of the month had fallen to 145 feet 4 inches, indicating the draft on Orange county's underground supply of water has been exceptionally high this summer.

The noise he made in alighting frightened the would-be burglars who fled to a pick-up truck they had parked about 75 yards away on Lemon street and drove away. In reporting to the police he said he fired two shots at the fleeing men but apparently failed to hit either of them. Nixon to Speak At Yorba Linda C. of C. Dinner Congressman Richard Nixon, co-author of the Mundt-Nixon bill for the regulation of Communists in this country and active in the un-American Activities committee of Congress, will be the guest of his native town, Yorba Linda, on Friday, October 1, when he will begin construction on $55,000 Building Project Here HERE'S NEWS! The Gazette today learned about some good news for the local orange grower. In a meeting a few days ago at Lakeland, Fla., the Florida Citrus Commission decided there would be no shipments of Florida oranges from that state aside from 176's and larger. This means a virtual embargo from Florida as sizes run predominantly small and the larger fruit will not meet required maturity standards. As a result, southern California Valencia growers should have the nations citrus market virtually to themselves for a period of another two or three weeks. It is doubtful whether any central California Navels will be ready for shipment before at least the first week in December.

His subject will be "Cold War Treason." The dinner will be held at the club house of the Yorba Linda Woman's Club and will be served at 7 p.m. Congressman Richard Nixon, a veteran of World War II, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nixon, among the earliest settlers of Yorba Linda.

It totals $29,191. The 1948 Chest total was $25,800. This year's total represents an increase of $3391. The greatest increase is in the budget of the Young Men's Christian Association which was budgeted at $5100 last year and for the coming fiscal year is scheduled to receive $6262, an increase of 20.8 per cent. The next largest increase was allotted to the Boy Scouts of America. Last year its budget allotment was $5500. For the coming fiscal year it is scheduled to receive $6600; an increase of 20 per cent. The Girl Scouts was granted an increase from $5000 to $5500 or 10 per cent and the Young Women's Christian Association was raised from $3400 to $4038, an increase of 18 ¼ per cent. The Salvation Army budget is the same as last year, $1800; there was no change from last year's budget of $3200 for the Teen Age Canteen. The Catholic Welfare association was increased from $1800 to ready for shipment before at least the first week in December. Nancy Burdick, 18, of West Orange, and Frank Mead III, 18, of Orange Park are the 4-H All-Stars of Orange county for 1948. They were named at the annual celebration of 4-H Achievement Night which was held Friday night at Fremont junior high school and which was attended by 200 club members and their fathers and mothers. The all-star award is made, not on a single year's superlative achievement, but upon a career in 4-H club work and in a record of superlative skill and of imparting those skills to others. Mead, eighteen, who is matriculating this fall as a pre-medical student at the University of California, has been a 4-H clubber for six years during which time he has been a senior leader, which means he has been a leader and organizer of younger boys in club and camp. Nancy Burdick has been active in club work for nine years. She has made for herself some 20 dresses, a suit, ten skirts and about 20 blouses. But the basis of her all-star award was that she taught her skills to other girls in the club. The two Orange county all-stars will represent the county at a gathering of 4-H club all-stars to be held at Berkeley. Mead is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mead, Jr., of East Chapman Market Outlook Best This Year With about one-third of the lencia crop remaining to go season, growers could regard market situation this week with satisfaction. And lemon growers in the same happy position. This week was the third incision in which the average age of Valencias has scored a stantial advance. The average f.o.b. price for last week was a 28 cents a box higher than average for the preceding week and reports from auction man at midweek showed a substantial advance over last week. The f.o.b. average was a $3.72 a box, compared to $3.00 the corresponding week ago, $4.63 for the correspondence week in 1946 and $3.56 for 1947. The Exchange estimated that remained about 9000 cars of this year's southern Californiacrop to be shipped, a 4000 cars less than a year ago. Taking into consideration action of the Florida Citrus mission a few days ago with gard to sizes and maturity of plants in that state, and the prospective maturity of central California Navels, the Orange county Valencia growers could this week regard the market outlook for remaining six weeks of the season with pleasure. A considerable moderation weather in eastern and midwestern consuming centers brought down the price of lemons from extreme high reached week after last. But the average for week was still highly satisfactory and this condition extended this week. On a fair volume sales last week the average price for all sizes and grades was $a box, f.o.b. packing house. was $1.60 under the average price for the preceding week, but high than any corresponding week the past three years. On More than this week sales totaled 99 boxes and the average was $8.01 box, f.o.b. The excellent lemon man was attributed to the fact that supplies in the hands of dead were fully cleaned up. Indicating more lemons could have been last week, according to reports from the east, if supplies had been Anaheim Girl Wins Bathing Beauty Contest Miss Beverly George, 330 South Bush street, this city, won first place in the bathing beauty contest held in conjunction with the annual Orange Festival in Orange last week. She received the award last Friday night and Miss Joyce Thompson of Orange was crowned festival queen the following evening on the Plaza bandstand by Gale Storm, motion picture actress. The comely Anaheim miss was sponsored by Harold's Grill. A Fullerton Junior college co-ed having blue eyes and dark brown hair, Miss George chose a bathing suit to match her eyes. An estimated crowd of more than 10,000 witnessed the coronation and other major events including a professional vaudeville show. The children's and mutt parade was held early Friday afternoon. Identification of "Mr. Festival," special musical interpretations and colorful western costumes were additional festival features. Iron was introduced into the Near East by the ancient Hittites. Nancy Burdick has been active in club work for nine years. She has made for herself some 20 dresses, a suit, ten skirts and about 20 blouses. But the basis of her all-star award was that she taught her skills to other girls in the club. The two Orange county all-stars will represent the county at a gathering of 4-H club all-stars to be held at Berkeley. Mead is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mead, Jr., of East Chapman avenue and Miss Burdick is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Burdick of West Chapman avenue. Honors were scattered broadcast during the night's ceremonies. Frank Nuslein, representing the California Bankers Assn. as "key" banker for Orange county and Roy Edwards, his predecessor in that office, both of the First National bank, Orange, presented 4-H pins to all club members who had completed their year's projects. Harold Wahlberg, county farm advisor, named the outstanding demonstration team as Don Cross, Robert Blender and Don McCafferty of the Garden Grove Grovers, who for months over the county, have been giving an effective fire-prevention demonstration. Frank Rayburn, retiring 4-H Club Council chairman, awarded certificates as outstanding members to Don Cross, Helen Weir, Eddie Carnegie, Dale Shave, Betty Elliott, Sandra Lanier, Carol Schlichenmayer, Gene Hill, Jacqueline Joor, Henry Stone, Avery Poling, Mary Jane Adams, Bill Lewis, David Horal, Nola Postlethwaite, Dorothy Jiles, Nancy Bascom and James Wilmoth. Twenty-one 4-H girls modeled in a "fashion show" dresses for around-the-clock wear which they had made, and in some instances, designed themselves. These were Gladys Postlethwaite, Nancy Bascom, Marilyn Fricker, Dorothea Sherbourne, Janice Focht, Rose (Continued on Page 2) The excellent lemon man was attributed to the fact that supplies in the hands of dead were fully cleaned up.

Orange County's Pro-America women will join in the meet arranged by Miss Mona Sumrith Smith, president of the Santa Ana unit, who said that Mrs. Chelotte Colburn will be program chairman. Murphy, noted as an after-ner speaker, will report the light side of the Republican Nation Convention at Philadelphia, which he was a delegate and official "cheerleader" of the Fornians, who went pledged Gov. Warren before he released them to back Gov. Thomas Dewey of New York. Katella School Bonds Subject of County Suit A suit to test the validity of advertising of the $85,000 issue of school bonds of Katella school district was filed this week by County Counsel Joel Ogle against County Auditor L. H. Eckel. A waiver of Los Angeles bond attorias withheld approval of the issue because the advertising interest would be paid equally while the fact was that interest on the first year's bonds was to be paid semi-annually. Auditor Eckel therefore relied to sign the bonds. Ogle held that was a technicality that did not affect the validity of the bonds. Orange, Lemon Market Outlook Test This Year With about one-third of the Va.-a crop remaining to go this season, growers could regard the market situation this week with caution. And lemon growers in the same happy position. MAHAFFEY-FITZ SPONSORING THREE-DAY COOKING SCHOOL Another of those rare occasions so appealing to women is the big, free cooking school presented by Mahaffey-Fitz Furniture and to be held at the Fox Theatre on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 21, 22 and 23, beginning at 1 o'clock each afternoon with two hours of thrilling demonstrations in the art of cooking and food serving. Two grand prizes are being featured in the school this year, a Gaffers-Sattler range in the latest model and one of the beautiful Philco deep freeze units for the home with additional prizes of twelve baskets of groceries as door prizes to be given away each day of the school with many other prizes to be presented to members of the audience. Included in the latter list are coffee makers, card tables, bathroom scales and electric irons. The grocery gifts are through the courtesy of the Alpha Beta Food Markets of this city. On Tuesday, September 21, the school will be in charge of Miss Bertha Gehrke, district home economist of the Philco Corporation, who will give demonstrations on frozen foods, the method of preserving for home use and the use of the deep freeze unit in the home refrigeration system. This demon- New School Area Left Up To Committee The cafeteria of Fremont school was jammed with a crowd Tuesday night to hear protests against action of the board of trustees of Anaheim elementary schools in changes mainly affecting what in the past has been known as La Palma and which hereafter will go officially by the name of Elementary school. The board late last week voted to extend the boundaries of the area served by the school to Los Angeles street on the west, North street on the south and the Santa Fe tracks in the east. It further decided that children within this area in the kindergarten, first, second, third and fourth grades would be taught in the Primary school and those in the fifth and sixth grade. On Tuesday, September 21, the school will be in charge of Miss Bertha Gehrke, district home economist of the Philco Corporation, who will give demonstrations on frozen foods, the method of preserving for home use and the use of the deep freeze unit in the home refrigeration system. This demonstration gives the promise of being one of great interest in the three day cooking school since modern homemaking is demanding more and more of the refrigerated methods of food preservation and modern housewives are using frozen fruits and vegetables in greatly increasing quantities. All frozen foods used in the demonstration is also being furnished through the courtesy of the Alpha Beta Food Markets of this city. Miss Louise Thomas, home economist for the Southern Counties Gas Company, will conduct the cooking school on Wednesday and Thursday, September 22 and 23. On Wednesday, the use of the oven method of cooking will be demonstrated at which time Miss Thomas will explain the methods of broiling and baking and all other uses to which the oven can be put. On the last day of the school, Thursday, Miss Thomas will demonstrate the methods of cooking on top of the stove. Her demonstrations will include many old and tried uses along with the newer methods developed within the past year. Home cooks of many years standing are learning new and interesting ways of preparing foods in the least time possible with the results, in many instances, far superior to that used back in 'grandma's day.' Last year, this popular furniture store presented a cooking school to the ladies of this city and county and the attendance was most gratifying when well over three thousand interested persons were in attendance for the sessions. An even greater attendance is expected this year when the school will be held at the Fox Theater. The Gaffers-Sattler range is widely used in California and is (Continued on Page 7) Oil Strike Has Little Effect OP Women of County to Hear Actor Murphy Vivie Actor George Murphy, known MGM star who beside acting interest is active politely, will be speaker for a Pro-America meeting scheduled today September 23 at 7 p.m. at Ana Ebell Clubhouse.

Thomas E. Hyde of New York. Palma and which hereafter will go officially by the name of Elementary school. The board late last week voted to extend the boundaries of the area served by the school to Los Angeles street on the west, North street on the south and the Santa Fe tracks in the east. It further decided that children within this area in the kindergarten, first, second, third and fourth grades would be taught in the Primary school and those in the fifth and sixth grades would be divided between Horace Mann and George Washington schools. In the judgment of members of the board of trustees the crowd which attended the meeting Tuesday night was about equally divided between those who were satisfied with the new arrangement and those who wanted to go back to the old system. After almost two hours of debate, during which tempers at times ran high, it was decided that each faction should appoint a small committee which would meet with the board of trustees Friday (tomorrow) morning for further conference. Both parties were represented by legal counsel who spoke during the evening. In former years the former La Palma school has been attended exclusively, or almost exclusively, by children of Mexican ancestry. One effect of the enlarged district would be to include a large number of children of other ancestry in the Primary school. Parents of some of the children in the district recently taken into the school said that the question of race did not enter into their objection but that the children of Mexican parentage spoke a foreign language when at play and their children would feel as outsiders if compelled to go to that school. Members of the school board have taken the position that the new ararngement made the best were in attendance for the sessions. An even greater attendance is expected this year when the school will be held at the Fox Theater. The Gaffers-Sattler range is widely used in California and is (Continued on Page 7) Oil Strike Has Little Effect In This Area Motorists of the Anaheim area went through the first week of the strike of oil refineries workers against the refiners without having to walk. Gasoline has not been as plentiful as it is when all refineries are working at full production but it has been available at all times somewhere in Anaheim. At one big filling station the manager reported he had been without gas two days during the week but had enough now to supply his trade. The manager of another of the largest stations said he had had enough gasoline at all times to supply his regular customers but his supply had been curtailed enough that he had been obliged at times to ration the general public. The manager of another of the largest stations in town said it had had enough gasoline all week to supply all comers. Authorized statements of producers said the oil industry planned to have enough gasoline to supply all essential services and for the general public would be able to supply for the present a minimum of 75 per cent of normal supply. They added the plea that all motorists stretch their gasoline supplies as far as possible and to make only essential automobile trips.
