Colony Quips FLASH—Max Royer, the well known Mayor of Orangethorpe, has just announced that he is staying neutral in the Anaheim-Fullerton land squatting controversy. Mayor Royer, not wishing to be accused of 'skulduggery' or anything worse, has met the issue head-on by his neutrality. His, however, is a fighting neutrality. He has warned the Los Angeles City Council not to try to take advantage of the situation on the west side of Highland. This, continues Mayor Royer, would place in grave jeopardy the overhead sewage system. (Eds. Note: The fact was brought out in Monday's joint, informal meeting of the two councils that the land in question was higher than the majority of land in the present city limits of Anaheim. This fact was brought out by the Fullerton group. What is proves we don't know. But we are not on the inside.) Over the years the Anaheim City 'Dads' have been called many things and have been accused of many things ranging from—well we will just skip that and come down to the present and latest accusation of 'skulduggery' made by a certain group in our neighboring little city of Fullerton. Now these Fullerton boys are fine fellows and feel they need more living space so, we are told, they decided to start a petition hold an Over the years the Anaheim City 'Dads' have been called many things and have been accused of many things ranging from—well we will just skip that and come down to the present and latest accusation of 'skulduggery' made by a certain group in our neighboring little city of Fullerton. Now these Fullerton boys are fine fellows and feel they need more living space so, we are told, they decided to start a petition, hold an election and take in some of the land to the south of Orangethorpe avenue which has always been considered the dividing line beyond which neither municipality would go: So the Anaheim council met and under a new statute passed by the last State legislature gave notice of annexation of a strip of uninhabited territory south of the center line of Orangethorpe avenue from the spot where the city limits now touch this road, westerly to the place where Highland runs into Orangethorpe. At a later meeting Anaheim did the same thing to a strip along the continuation of north Palm (Spadda), north from our city limits to Orangethorpe. Fullerton did not think this was kosher and therein the 'beef.' We just can't see a gored ox laying around any place. We can't see anyone who really got hurt. Perhaps a little pride or someone's overzealous provincial feelings were bruised at being beaten to the punch but there is surely no more than that—that we can see. About the most important thing residents of Anaheim and Fullerton can find to wrangle about, it seems to us, is who is going to win the football game between the two high schools on November 19. Frank Tausch, his wife and party have been away on a vacation trip. They had reservations at Saboba Hot springs but found that spot too hot. They decided to try Idyllwild but a fire up there made it too hot. They came back to Hemet, of all places to cool off. Frank claims he had a good rest but the next time he is going to take steps to insure his vacation. Hope he knows where to buy this insurance. Pete Wisser, Art Shipkey, Dr. Charles Schutz, the Cone brothers and a couple of foreigners have returned from the wilds of Wyoming in search of elk, moose and Win Cooking School Prizes Two lucky Anaheim women took the grand door prize awards which climaxed Mahaffey-Fitz Furniture Company's three-day cooking school which concluded last Thursday afternoon at Fox Theater. Mrs. Marie Creveling of 115 South Street, became the proud a Philco food freezer and Miss Doris Oliver of 1607 East Center street was presented a Gaffers-Sattler gas range. Master of ceremonies for the occasion was Bill Thorneycroft of the furniture company. Making the presentations was Martin Bowman assisted by August Fitz and Gene Mahaffey. Louise Thomas and Margaret Denton of the Southern Counties Gas Company were on hand for the demonstration of culinary preparations. Bertha Gerkie and Phyllis Frost represented the Philco freezer company. Twelve baskets of groceries, through the courtesy of Alpha Beta markets, were distributed to fortunate members of the capacity crowd of local women attending the school. Other gift items included the dishes prepared during the cooking demonstration, an automatic iron, General Electric coffee maker, cream puffs, a card table, utility table and bathroom scales. Mrs. Creveling's new food freezer was stocked completely, courtesy of Alpha Beta markets. Alpha Beta Buys 5 Prize Winning Steers at Pomona Two prize winning steers shown by Orange county boys at the Los Angeles county fair are among five purchased by the Alpha Beta Food Market All-Stars. Council Acts Upon Third Annexation The Anaheim city council, special meeting held last Saturday adopted a resolution which intended to effect a third annexation of property extending to Orangethorpe southward to northern city limits of Anaheim. The latest annexation results affects 101 Highway and a ten strip on either side of it so ward. Unincorporated territory southward from Orangethorpe avenue to the Anaheim city limit is now either covered by resitions adopted by the city council or surrounded by such territory. All of the territory covered by three resolutions is described "uninhabited" and the city civil is therefore empowered by them to annex it, upon petition or least one-fourth" of the own of the property without an objection. A public hearing upon the last petition was set by the court for October 12. Hearing upon earlier petitions was set for night of October 5. The first petition covered a total territory extending northwest from Romneya drive, the pre-city limit, to "the hump" in Highway, just north of the Horn Sol-Gas agency. The secrecy involved a strip of territory tending from the present limit at Patt street and Orangethorpe avenue westward along south side of Orangethorpe about the end of Fullerton's Highland avenue. Excluded from nexation are three ranches on east side of 101 Highway, owned of which were said by Anaheim city officials to be opposed to... Pete Wisser, Art Shipkey, Dr. Charles Schutz, the Cone brothers and a couple of foreigners have returned from the wilds of Wyoming in search of elk, moose and antelope. They took the Elks with them, they are all mooses (note to linetype operator: This looks bad but follow copy.), and all are too slow to run down any antelope. They report a good trip through some rough country and claim they came home loaded down. As far as they can tell they came back loaded down with the cares of the world and the horns they are exhibiting were probably stolen from some museum. There is one thing you can't beat these boys on: they can always talk a good hunting trip. Ernst Borchert thinks the Pacific Coast Conference should look around for some coaches who can teach their players how to block and tackle more like they do in the Big Nine. Ernst deserves a vote of confidence on that one. Soil Savers Allocate $129,500 To This County Has been tentatively allocated $129,500 federal funds for agricultural soil conservation during 1949, the California Department of Agriculture has announced. The money is part of a $4,938,-000 total statewide allocation of which $4,336,600 has been allocated to counties and the remainder set aside for future adjustments in county allocations. The money will be disbursed by county offices of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Mrs. Creveling's new food freezer was stocked completely, courtesy of Alpha Beta markets. Alpha Beta Buys 5 Prize Winning Steers at Pomona Two prize winning steers shown by Orange county boys at the Los Angeles county fair are among five purchased by the Alpha Beta Food Market. All five prime animals were on display at the Alpha Beta packing plant at Huntington Beach for five days of this week and visitors were welcome. After the public showing the steers were to be slaughtered. The meat will be on sale at Alpha Beta stores on October 8. The two Orange county animals were T O Topper, 951 pound Hereford owned and shown by Wayne A. Schultz, 4-H club members from La Habra, which was the reserve grand champion of the show, and a black Angus steer owned and shown by Don Hedrick, Fullerton Future Farmer of America. This 1019 pound animal took fourth place in his class. The other three were a Hereford steer shown by Dennis Daly of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, which won second place in the open division; the steer which was reserve grand champion of the Future Farmers class which was owned and shown by Carroll Collins of Excelsior high school at Norwalk, and a Hereford steer owned and shown by Herbert Pierce of Chino. This animal was second in the 4-H show. RUMMAGE SALE HERE Members of White Shrine No. 6 will hold a rummage sale at 104 East Center street, Anaheim, beginning at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30 and continuing through Saturday, Oct. 2.

Group Supports Baker Campaign For Reelection About thirty men and women representing the various towns and communities of the Third Supervisorial district of Orange county at the Parker House Friday night when Supervisor James A. Ball at their invitation, addressed them on the duties of his office, many issues now before the county board of supervisors and things he has accomplished during his regime. He discussed the rechinery of county government and the various projects before the board of supervisors, especially those affecting the Third district. After the discussion the meeting unanimously endorsed the program he outlined and agreed to support him for reelection. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1948 Hunt Brothers Eye Caltone Juice Plant The Caltone plant on North Lemon street is currently being eyed by Hunt Foods, the Gazette was reliably informed this week. The deal with the California Fruit Growers Exchange, as exclusively reported by the Gazette, did not materialize. The big co-operative could not see the price asked and at the time it was considering the local plant the eastern market on Valencias was poor. Whether the better eastern market lately will cause it to take another look cannot be said. If Hunt is able to make a deal it is understood that the plant will be used to can tomato juice. MCP to Repair Damaged Factory Among building permits issued this week by Rudolph Nyboe, city building inspector, was one for repair of fire damage at the Mutual Citrus Products plant at Santa Set October 11 For Opening of ‘Chest’ Campaign The Anaheim Community Chest campaign will be spurred into action October 11, with a morning “kickoff” breakfast at the Ebell clubhouse, Paul H. Demaree, drive chairman, said this week. John Shea, general chairman, stated that the goal of $30,309 will enable Red Feather agencies to continue philanthropic projects here. Community Chest workers, committee members and committee heads will discuss plans during this final rally breakfast before launching the fund-raising program which will support local welfare and youth groups. The drive is scheduled tentatively to close on October 20. A request for volunteer workers to aid in the drive has been made by Demaree and Anaheim attorney Shea.

Council Acts upon Third Annexation The Anaheim city council, at a real meeting held last Saturday, noted a resolution which was intended to effect a third annexation of property extending from Geghorpe southward to the western city limits of Anaheim. The latest annexation resolution is 101 Highway and a ten foot on either side of it southwest. Unincorporated territory toward from Orangethorpe due to the Anaheim city limits now either covered by resolutions adopted by the city council surrounded by such territory. If the territory covered by the resolutions is described as inhabited" and the city councils therefore empowered by law annex it, upon petition of "at one-fourth" of the owners of property without an elecpublic hearing upon the latest town was set by the council October 12. Hearing upon two petitions was set for the end of October 5. The first petition covered a strip territory extending northward Romneya drive, the present limit, to "the hump" in 101 way, just north of the Harry Sol-Gas agency. The second covered a strip of territory exiting from the present city at Patt street and Orange Avenue westward along the side of Orangethorpe to the end of Fullerton's High-Avenue. Excluded from anion are three ranches on the side of 101 Highway, owners which were said by Anaheim officials to be opposed to an- MCP to Repair Damaged Factory Among building permits issued this week by Rudolph Nyboe, city building inspector, was one for repair of fire damage at the Mutual Citrus Products plant at Santa Ana and Atchison streets. The fire occurred in August. The application stated $21,550 would be expended in making building repairs. Total fire loss was said to be $75,000. A request for volunteer workers to aid in the drive has been made by Demaree and Anaheim attorney Shea. Donations may be given or information obtained at the new campaign headquarters, 139 North Los Angeles street. Mrs. Evelyn Glostein is in charge of the office. Various committee heads appointed by Demaree include Ted Payne and Tex Middleton, co-(Continued on Page 2) Daylight Saving Should Continue To Mid-January Say Edison Chief Bags vs. Boxes For Oranges Still Hot Issue The season now nearing an end has by no means settled the controversy of bagged vs. box oranges. The California Fruit Growers Exchange reports the trade rapidly losing interest in bagged fruit which, it says, presents the problem of decayed fruit in bags. The Mutual Orange Distributors, second largest grower-owned cooperative in California, says from 50 to 80 per cent of its fruit is marketed in bags which boost orange sales. Robbins Russell, sales manager for MOD, told an audience of growers recently at Covina that wherever his organization had sent bagged fruit it has brought sharply increased retail sales. "Here in California bags have been thoroughly misrepresented and misunderstood," he said. "We are told that bags slow up packing house operations. That is not true with us. The packing house in our organization which deals most heavily in bags now can pack them faster than it can the old box. We are told that fruit does not hold up well in bags. Our experience is that we can get better arrivals in bags than we can in boxes. "Last year we sent five million bags to market. This year, with heads will discuss plans during this final rally breakfast before launching the fund-raising program which will support local welfare and youth groups.

Phillips Joins Party Inspecting Colorado River In preparation for a renewal of California's fight to carry the Colorado River controversy to the United States Supreme Court, Congressman John Phillips will join a four-day inspection tour of Colorado River developments early in October. "Our legal controversy with Arizona over division of the Colorado River water is one of the most vital issues facing us," Phillips said. "The entire economy of southern California is threatened by Arizona's attempt to take Colorado River water that we contend legally belongs to California. "If Arizona should be victorious in this controversy, our development would be seriously menaced. The fight in the next session of Congress will be greater than in the last session, when we were successful in stopping Arizona's raid on our water. I shall return to Congress prepared to do everything in my power to have the controversy placed before the Supreme Court for final determination." Phillips pointed out that exist- (Continued on Page 2) BER 30, 1948 Twelve Pages No. 49 Call for Blood Donors Call for blood donors!

County Fair Plans Progressing, Horse Show, New Features Added Plans are progressing rapidly for the Orange County Fair, conducted by the 32nd District Agricultural Association, according to H. Clay Kellogg, president. As evidence of the thorough planning, Mr. Kellogg points to the "Committee of Twenty-Nine" which was named by the Orange County Board of Supervisors as an Advisory Committee on county fairs to work with the officers and Board of Directors. Demaree Tells P.-T.A. Council School Proposal Rearrangement of Anaheim's school program which would affect the high school, junior high school and rural and elementary institutions was discussed by Paul H. Demaree, superintendent of Anaheim Union high school, who outlined a unification proposal before members of the Anaheim Parent-Teachers Council at their first fall meeting which followed a luncheon in the home of Mrs. M. A. Gauer, 212 North Helena street. Citrus Market Looks Good to End of Season Citrus Market Looks Good to End of Season Under the heaviest offerings of the season, southern California Valencias not only held the gains they had made in the past few weeks but showed a modest advance. The averages for all sizes and grades was up from the preceding week to about $4.31, approximately 9 cents above the average for the preceding week. And that average was the highest of the year. Lemons also made a good showing. On an increased volume of sales the average was about $7.34 a box f.o.b. packing house. This was 49 cents below the average for the preceding week but was more than a dollar a box higher than the average for the corresponding week in any recent year. Florida now is shipping some oranges but they were not expected to affect the good Valencias California is sending to market. Competing fruit is declining in volume, peaches and melons being almost wholly out of the market. Compared to last week's average of $4.31, the average for the corresponding week in previous years was $3.13 in 1947, $4.64 in 1946, and $3.58 in 1945. Demand this week was strong and active and the average price up to midweek was little changed from last week. Prorate for the week was set at 500 cars. The volume of fruit shipped was expected to decline from this week to the end of the season. Prospects this week were that volume would be down to 750 cars a week before the end of the month. The weather was cooler and offerings were heavier but lemon demand remained good despite the fact that the trade was buying on day to day basis in anticipation of lower prices. But this week opened with auction markets reporting prices steady to slightly higher. The overall average of $7.34 a box last week compared with $6.31 Chamber Starts Hallowe’en Fun Tomorrow Night Only a part of what will happen tomorrow (Friday) night when the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce meets for its annual pre-Hallowe’en celebration at the Elks club was known this week in Anaheim. Two hundred and fifty three and one-half inch buttons with a design that will be made known only when the buttons are worn will be sold at auction to the highest bidders. And there will be a buffet supper during the evening. The entertainment will be provided by Hollywood professionals who are friends of Marty Roberts of Cotler’s. If he knew what their program is he wasn’t telling this week. Aside from the two and one-fourth inch orange button bearing the emblem of a witch on a broom which has been on sale for many days, an inch and one-half button bearing a black cat as an emblem went on sale late this week to students of the various schools only. These “small fry” buttons could be had by students for a dime each. With the larger button which sells for $1 goes a 1949 automobile—if the button is bought at exactly the right time and place. ILL IN SANTA ANA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Mrs. William Webb of 539 West Broadway, Anaheim, is confined to the Santa Ana Community hospital. Her husband is the well-known attorney in the Bank of America building. It was not until 1872 that Japan had railways. The California Fruit Growers Exchange has announced that the advertising budget approved by the board of directors provides 14 cents a box advertising assessment for lemons. The advertising assessment for navel oranges will be 7 cents a box. Lemon advertising, the Exchange has announced, will again feature the food uses of lemons. For the past two seasons food uses have been eliminated entirely from Exchange lemon national advertising and exclusive support has been given to lemon and water, the fastest growing use of lemons, according to the Exchange. This was done largely because of the sugar shortage which had curtailed most of the uses of lemons in foods. Since lemons for food uses account for 45 per cent of winter lemon sales and there is no longer a shortage of sugar, it is important again to promote aggressively these uses. Consequently lemon advertising for the next year will feature the food uses of lemons, with cold lemonade receiving strong support during the summer. Lemons as laxatives and lemon for colds will continue to receive advertising support by the Exchange but on a less intensive basis. Food uses will be featured as full page four color advertising in leading woman’s magazines and Sunday newspaper supplements. Shipments of navel oranges in fresh fruit channels was estimated at 26,000 cars. Theme of the 1948-49 season will again emphasize the quality angle of California navels compared to competing Florida oranges which customarily sell at returns ruinous to both in the skin and in the tin. A few years ago fresh Florida citrus was navel oranges only competition. Now there is the added impact of canned juice, and navels cannot, so far, participate in this race for patronage. Consequently the quality theme will have the added support of the "fresh" strategy this winter.
