Colony Quips The recent trip to California of Mr. Truman's Interior Secretary, Julius Krug, non-political, of course, but you understand, in which he warned us the west faced a critical power shortage if the Republicans had their way, was another one of those bits of propaganda slanted to get the Golden State into the Democratic bag. Krug said that the bureau of reclamation had plans for California but that Congress must provide the funds and added, "how we need action." Any informed person knows that the last Congress out more money in the hands of this bureau than Truman had asked for and that the President had asked his reclamation department to spend only about a third of the money allocated. Krug's whole thought was not to get at the facts but merely an attempt to get votes for his boss. The truth of the whole matter is, as attested by the Los Angeles city water and power department together with our other public utility companies, that southern California faces no power shortage, fall rains or no fall rains. This trip of Krug's is another sorry spectacle of a government department head traveling around the country on a political mission with all expenses paid by the taxpayers. After all, the voters of this state are smart enough not to fall for this kind of bunk. The thing that gets our goat is the fact that many of our newspapers ran the Krug story as it Two Future Farmers of America, John and Pat Patin, of Anaheim will show their 10 month old polled Hereford steers at the coming Orange County Fair. The Patin brothers, students at Aheim Union high school, obtained the steers from Frank Vest Hereford Ranch. Both boys are members of the F.F.A. chapter the high school. Joe Willmore, vocational agriculture teacher the leader of the chapter. Orange Market Shows Effect of Florida Fruit Prices of both oranges and lemons dropped slightly last week, but not below the "satisfactory" level. The downward trend continued this week. In the case of oranges it was expedited by increased arrival in eastern markets of oranges from Florida and Texas. California Valencias, which averaged 67 per cent 252s and smaller last week, averaged $4.13 a box, f.o.Meracking house. On a lighter volo, 2 due to two holidays during the week, the average price dropped about 8 cents a box from the previous week. It was 65 cents a box higher than in the corresponding week last year, $1.05 less than in the corresponding week in 1946 and 64 cents more than the average three years ago. The first of last week's prices held their own with the preceding week but they dropped off toward the end of the week and the downward trend continued this week. Shipping prorate for this week was set by the Orange Administrative committee at 950 cars. It was originally set at that figure last week but some of the members got to thinking things over later and revised the figure up. Display Space for Fair Opening Next Thursday Already Sold Out Busiest place in Anaheim this week was the Chamber of Commerce where a large staff has been readying for Orange County Fair and Silver Anniversary of the Anaheim Hallowe'en Festival, which this year is being held in junction with the fair. Main activity has switched, however, from selling play space in the three big and the horse show arena, to finding odd corners where 20-30 Clean-Up Squads to March In Grand Parade Those hilarious Twenty-Thirtian units of white coated street cleaning attendants, who, previous to last year, followed units of horses prancing in the October 30 Hallowe'en grand parade here, again will perform mad-cap antics and a useful service, according to Chamber of Commerce officials. Because of a Hallowe'en celebration group's decision, the 20-30 clean-up service was obvious by its absence last year. Since there will be ten divisions of horses in this year's parade, the Anaheim 20-30 club will provide a matching number of clean-up squads. In a special contest sponsored by the club, the team with the most clever, original and humorous "get-up" will receive an award. Ten letters from band organizations and other marching groups have been received by the local Chamber office, protesting last year's procedure of no 'shovel and broom' brigades strategically located in the line of march. One beach band stated it refused to march unless the 20-30 squads were present. Acting upon these requests and many other verbalurgings, the local Chamber gave the 20-30 club, which offered to provide the traditional service, the green light. Busiest place in Anaheim this week was the Chambers of Commerce where a large staff has been readying for Orange County Fair and Silver Anniversary of the Anahale Hallowe’en Festival, which this year is being held in junction with the fair.

Four counties, San Francisco, Alameda, Los Angeles and San Diego, would control the senate as they now control the Assembly. Fifty-four counties would be virtually disfranchised. Ninety-six per cent of the state's area would be deprived of any effective voice in legislation. A balanced legislature, the American form of government, would be destroyed in California. Defeat Senate Reapportionment by voting "no" on Proposition #13 Gov. Warren to Speak at City Park During Hallowe’en Festival The vague possibility that Governor Earl Warren would appear in Anaheim some time during the Orange County Fair became a certainty this week.
