Most State Crops Hold Up to Early Predictions of Bumper Outturn (Western News Service) Rapidly closing harvests of California fruit and nut crops indicate that most crops will equal their early season production forecasts. According to a report of the state of crop and livestock service, some tonnage of grapes, apples and late pears were still to be harvested. Almond and walnut harvests were well along but olive maturity was later than usual. A small volume of old crop Valencia oranges and a few summer grapefruit remained for harvest but no picking of new crops had begun. Some tonnage of Tokay grapes was unsound for fresh shipping and a few late trays of raisins have been injured by the weather. Following is a roundup of all reported crops: Citrus fruits — production forecasts for navel and other miscellaneous crops total 18,900,000 boxes. Florida leads all state in the forecast with 62,400,000 predicted boxes. Figs — California figs experienced a relatively good season. The crop was late thus making the harvest report later than usual. The canning tonnage for Kadotas was less than expected due to interior mold on the fruit. Grapes — The November 1 proraisin varieties is 1,588,000 tons, for wine varieties 609,000 tons, and for table varieties 583,000 tons. Harvest of all grapes was mainly completed by November 1. Pears — The harvested tonnage of pears has failed to make earlier estimates of 214,000 tons of Bartletts and 31,000 tons for other crops. Olives — There is a heavy crop farm bureau to fight higher freight rates The California Farm Bureau Federation has served notice will oppose vigorously the rejection by the nation's railroads for percent freight rate increase unjustifiable and discriminatory. The Federation's action, by its board of directors, made in Berkeley, was announced President Ray B. Wiser. The Farm Bureau directors that: 1. The burden of transport charges against agricultural commodities in California already out of line with prices on these commodities 2. Percentage increases in rates, in and of themselves unfair and discriminatory against California shipment 3. The rail carriers' current lication for a 13 per cent hike would pyramid infractions against California factions and shippers, resulting in three previous percentage creases on the volume freight charges. The Farm Bureau requests California Public Utilities Commission to "use every possible fort to resist the carriers' application, and authorize commission to use the name the California Farm Bureau eration for the purpose."

Harvest of all grapes was mainly completed by November 1. Pears — The harvested tonnage of pears has failed to make earlier estimates of 214,000 tons of Bartletts and 31,000 tons for other crops. Olives — There is a heavy crop on the trees in many areas and fruit sizes are smaller than usual. There has been selective picking for best size fruit and the remainder is scheduled for conversion to oils. Almonds — The harvest is well advanced and the prospective tonnage of 29,600 tons will probably be realized. Walnuts — The harvest is not holding up to earlier predictions, and late September heat caused more damage than was realized. Preliminary estimates totaled 61,-000 tons. IT'S A BOY!

LOS ANGELES S Farm Bureau to Right Higher Freight Rates The California Farm Bureau operation has served notice it oppose vigorously the request the nation's railroads for a 13 cent freight rate increase as unstifiable and discriminatory. The Federation's action, taken its board of directors, meeting Berkeley, was announced by President Ray B. Wiser. The Farm Bureau directors cited: The burden of transportation charges against agricultural commodities in California is already out of line with falling prices on these commodities. Percentage increases in such rates, in and of themselves, are unfair and discriminatory against California shipments. The rail carriers' current application for a 13 per cent rate hike would pyramid impositions against California farmers and shippers, resulting from three previous percentage increases on the volume of freight charges.

In a message to members and friends of the church the pastor, Rev. Howard S. Congdon said: "You have all waited so many years to say 'This is our new church.' We have at last come to the moment when we can convert a vacant lot and a generation's dreams into a glorious sanctuary. Pray earnestly that God will place it upon our hearts to respond most generously and make this beautiful church a reality." The plan for financing the new church calls for obtaining pledges for $100,000 in the week's campaign. The pledges are payable monthly over a period of 30 months. Incidentally, gifts to the fund are deductible from taxable income up to 15 per cent and the 30 months cover four income tax years. Besides the sanctuary and the chapel, the present and proposed new buildings provide for church business office, women's parlor with adjoining kitchenette and wash room, office for minister of music with adjoining studio room which may serve also as the bride's room at weddings. The plan now is that actual construction of the new church will begin next spring. Retailers Vote Saturday Nite Opening Continue (Continued from Page 1) "There is no such thing as a Stores will remain open Friday and Saturday nights for the convenience of customers on or near that date. Bright Yule decorations, a project being backed by the retail division, will soon bedeck streets of this city. Colored lights and banners will be hung from the 30 cables across Anaheim streets which were purchased by the Chamber and installed by the city. L. H. Loudon, stated from official tabulations from the State Board of Equalization that retail business totalled 17 million dollars in Anaheim in 1947, and 19 million dollars this year, due to greatly increased outlets here. The large factory payroll in Anaheim should be reassuring to local merchants, he commented. Ronald Dow, Son Of Former Pastor, Wins Contest Ronald S. Dow, 14 year old son of the Rev. and Mrs. D. Howard Dow of Pacific Grove, former rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church of this city, was recently declared winner of the Navy Day essay contest sponsored by his high school in the northern city. He is a freshman. His prize for winning the contest will be a cruise on a Navy combat ship. There is a reason for young Dow's good fortune, however, for he won first prize in the Navy League sponsored essay contest for high school boys on the Monterey Peninsula. Theme of the contest was "Your Navy in War" and Peace." Over 400 entries were received from elementary and secondary schools on the Peninsula and 12 prizes were awarded. Last year Donald won third in the elementary division contest and was awarded an additional prize of a day-long cruise in San...

Florida oranges advanced 25 cents a box, too, last week but the week's average was only $2.84 delivered. Florida fruit was reported showing improved juice content and flavor.

He added that those opportunities cannot be found if the consumer is "sore" or antagonistic and that there is no substitute for good manners and alternness in business. Concerning the tendency of merchants to stretch out working hours each day in an attempt to capture more business he said, "Sales slump is caused by a smaller volume of money in the pocket of the average citizen. By increasing hours, the merchant only spreads this slower monetary turnover over a longer period of time and causes dissention among his help." Stranahan predicted that the Wagner Labor act would be amended but not to the extent expected at present. Solter, in casting a vote for Saturday night openings, said that the J. C. Penney Company, of which he is manager, realized a profit of 46.73 per cent this year from a total of 52 Saturdays, by remaining open at night as compared to the total 1947 Saturday profits. A 20 per cent increase in profit was shown in a breakdown of the 1948 Saturday returns due to night sales, he added. In arguing for Saturday openings, merchants stated that Los Angeles had realized a highly successful grand opening of the Monday night opening campaign and small returns thereafter. Ernest Moeller, secretary of the chamber, urged that merchants modernize store fronts or find other strong means of attracting out-of-town shoppers, to keep in stride with the face-lifting of the business area of Fullerton on Spadra road. Several additional off-street parking lots will be cleared and oiled in time to serve Christmas shoppers, Moeller disclosed. Tonight (Thursday) at 7 o'clock Santa Claus will make his appearance in town, riding in style with his traditional huge pack of toys and gaily wrapped gifts. There is a reason for young Dow's good fortune, however, for he won first prize in the Navy League sponsored essay contest for high school boys on the Monterey Peninsula.

Last year Donald won third in the elementary division contest and was awarded an additional prize of a day-long cruise in San Francisco Bay. The Dow family are well known in this city, since the Rev. Dow and his family resided in Anaheim for fourteen years. Participate in Armistice Parade Anaheim was well represented in the huge Armistice Day parade last Thursday morning in Santa Ana by the brightly-uniformed Anaheim Union high school band, the crack Elks Lodge No. 1345 band and marchers of American Legion Post No. 72. Thousands of spectators lined Santa Ana streets to witness the county's mammoth parade sponsored by three veterans' organizations, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Heading the procession, which included more than 2100 marchers, 15 bands, servicemen and veterans and more than 150 horsemen, was Col Nelson M. Holderman, colonel-commandant in the State Department of Veterans Affairs, holder of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Queen of the day was Mrs. Emma Christensen, Gold Star Mother. Servicemen for both World War I and II marched in the parade as did veterans of the Spanish-American war. A flight of 40 planes from El Toro Marine Air station was viewed by spectators at noon. The parade line of march proceeded west on Fourth street from the Santa Fe station, turned north on Flower street, then entered the Santa Ana bowl to disband. A benefit for welfare funds of the three sponsoring organizations was a three-ring circus in the bowl that afternoon.The event was preceded by demonstrations by the San Gabriel American Legion and the Santa Ana VFW Drum and Bugle Corps.Both received championships.Other awards were given to parade winners in different classes.
