Colony Quips We trust that by now everyone has had ample time to read and recover from the recent election results and realize that the old hustle is still needed to make a living. That California has great problems to solve but still has a firm steady hand at the wheel. The average man on the street, who was not polled by the pollsters, is still a Warren fan but could not bring himself to vote for the New York entry at the head of the presidential ticket. This is not our own personal opinion but the result of many talks with average people who earn their living by working. Even Governor Warren's tremendous popularity could not overcome their fear as well as their dislike for the New York entry. Many of these people, good citizens all, resent remarks by some extreme right-wing women in Los Angeles county the other day directed at the Republican campaign in the late election. The people we are talking about voted for the Democratic ticket but they highly resent remarks directed at the Republican vice-presidential nominee. This is no paradox but a logical interpretation of honest feeling that we believe is much deeper than the disgruntled chirpings of a poorly led women's club. Governor Earl Warren is still the idol of the little man in California. They feel and we feel that we are lucky to have his firm, steady and honest hand at the helm of our great state. The Merchants Division of the Parents Suffer Burns Rescuing Baby from Fire Mrs. William Almand was this week in Anaheim Community hospital recovering from first, second and third degree burns on her hands, arms and neck and her husband was treated at a Fullerton hospital for lesser burns received when they raced into a bedroom at the home of Mrs. Almand's parents at Cypress Saturday night to rescue their two-month old daughter from a fire which eventually destroyed the home. The fire had reached the bassinet of the baby and had set some net trimmings afire when the parents reached it. She was also treated for minor burns. The fire was thought to have been started from an oil heater in the bedroom. The destroyed house was the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Abplanalp. Phone Company Seeks Higher Rates, Tells Why Application for an increase in Insectary Here Red Scale to See Thanksgiving Citrus Market Rises Sharply With the supply near theishing point, the average price Valencia oranges shot up last year to the highest point it has all season. The f.o.b. average all sizes and all grades last was about $5. This was an crease of 88 cents a box above average of the preceding week. Navels from central-northeast California and Arizona are la maturing but reports agree the few so far reaching the market are of excellent color and ing quality. The oranges California have, however, running unusually small. Of oranges shipped last week 600 cent were 252s and smaller and per cent were 344s and small. Prorate for California this week was 1250 cars. So this year the prorate has been The Merchants Division of the Chamber of Commerce is offering a fine service to all retailers in Anaheim by obtaining the services of John Stranahan to help sales people handle their customers in a better manner. You will surely notice the difference in the way the clerks serve you after Mr. Stranahan has given them the idea of how to do the job. This is a very worth while activity of our merchants group and every customer buying in Anaheim will benefit. When any particular college football team gets a bowl bid some of their otherwise submerged 'sophomores' come to the fore. They are beseiged by their friends who want tickets, insist on getting them and act ugly when fifty liners are not on tap. But these boys can always roll with a punch. Their hair is grey and the arteries are hard but they still retain the wild-eyed passion for football they had while they were sophomores. There are one or two things to remember about this sort of person, the first being never get into an argument with one of them on the relative merits of his school against the field. He will always beat you if you give him a chance to talk last. His school is the one that has a scholastic program, the only one, their players are good students, never needing tutors, and the funniest one of all is that the gent believes this himself. The next thing to remember is that he will be lucky to get two tickets for himself—and that won't help you a bit, or his blood pressure. Phil Segrais and Aaron Schultz have had their heads together for some weeks now getting the new furniture store ready for opening towards the end of next week. A major face lifting has been going on down there and the new layout will surely have the newest look. As an added attraction Phil Segrais has shown his versatility by doing some oil painting in the simulated windows of the model Phone Company Seeks Higher Rates, Tells Why Application for an increase in California telephone rates, first announced on October 27, was made this week to the California Public Utilities Commission by The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, according to R. J. Rossberg, manager. "The public is demanding more and more service," Rossberg stated. "Present earnings are not sufficient to attract the hundreds of millions of dollars of new capital that must be raised from the sale of stock to purchase the plant and equipment needed to meet the telephone demands of the public. In order to raise this capital, earnings must be adequate to attract the investment dollars in competition with other industries." The rate application was made necessary by the problem of rising costs both labor and materials, Rossberg said. Rate increases thus far obtained by Pacific Telephone amount to about 15 per cent on California intrastate operations and have proved inadequate. The new application, if granted, will increase the revenues of the company about 14 per cent. Rossberg stated, "The increase in the prices of almost everything we must buy in order to render telephone service has spiraled. Inclusive of the rate increase now being applied for, the average price of telephone service will have gone up less than half the 75 per cent rise in the cost of living index." Pacific Telephone now employs 56,000 people in California or one out of every 74 workers. Its total annual state payroll is now running at the rate of $175,000,-000. Some samples of present and proposed higher rates for Anaheim: Business individual service would increase from $5.75 a month to $6.50; residence individual service, $3.50 to $4; residence two-party service, $3 to $3.25; four-party service, $2.50 to $2.75. Some toll rate increases: Anaheim to Pomona, day rate, Navels from central-north California and Arizona are laying maturing but reports agree that few so far reaching the market are of excellent color and quality. The oranges in California have, however, running unusually small. Only oranges shipped last week 60 cents were 252s and smaller and per cent were 344s and smaller. Prorate for California next week was 1250 cars. So this year the prorate has been dershipped each week since season opened. A brisk pre-Thanksgiving demand sent lemons higher. f.o.b. average was $7.31 a cent which was 68 cents higher than the average for the previous week and $1.66 more than lemons aged in the corresponding week year ago. The demand was less active this week and the average dropped sharply. The average lemons sold Monday was $1.34 low the f.o.b. average on the previous Monday. Supplies in the hands of dead last week were generally on light side though in spots that was the beginning of an accumulation. The demand was still growing for larger sizes of strong appling fruit. Comparsed to last week's average of about $7.31, the age for the corresponding week year ago was $5.65, for 1946 it was $7.62 and for 1945, $5.64. In view of the sharp upturn orange prices, Orange county lencia growers were this week having their groves gleaned off-bloom fruit which for the part were being sold in the Angeles market. Yellis Dairy Has Run In With Union Tom Yellis, who conducts Yellis Dairy west of Anaheim, week engaged legal counsel with the idea of bringing an injunction suit against the Teamsters Union after a series of experiences with union organizers.

Phil Segrais and Aaron Schultz have had their heads together for some weeks now getting the new furniture store ready for opening towards the end of next week. A major face lifting has been going on down there and the new layout will surely have the newest look. As an added attraction Phil Segrais has shown his versatility by doing some oil painting in the simulated windows of the model kitchen. About the only thing we can suggest is that he paint in a couple of streams and rivers to make customers think there is plenty of water in the country. All joking aside the Aaron Schultz organization will have a store that they and Anaheim, too, can well be proud of. We hesitate to make any predictions as to the outcome of the SC vs. Notre Dame football game on this Saturday. What we laughingly call our intelligence says ND by four TD's or more if the Trojans fumble. Our fondest hopes are, of course, an upset which is practically impossible with this class of ball club. With a smile or two from Lady Luck we really believe the difference will only be a touchdown, maybe two. We still believe that Notre Dame is the best in the country, but no club can lose players the likes of Lujack, Connor and Czarobski and not feel it. Even a coach like Frank Leahy can't bring boys like that along every season. We have been wrong before. NEW SON ARRIVES Proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. John McWaid, 12271 Jerome street, Garden Grove, who welcomed a baby son weighing eight pounds and nine ounces, Wednesday of last week at St. Joseph's hospital, Orange. New Law Opens New Benefits To Veterans Veterans who entered military service from California may be eligible for both educational assistance and farm-home financing benefits provided by the state, according to Ben Liebermann, county director of Veterans Affairs. From time to time, inquiries by veterans reveal a widespread misconception in this regard. Many veterans have hesitated to apply for educational aid in the mistaken belief that by so doing they would lose out on eligibility for the Farm and Home Purchase Plan. This was true prior to 1946. But action by the state Legislature in that year repealed a section of the Military and Veterans Code containing the restriction and made both types of benefits available to all eligible veterans. Egyptian ladies in 900 B.C. carried vanity cases made of iron. Tom Yellis, who conducts Yellis Dairy west of Anaheim, week engaged legal counsel with the idea of bringing an injunction suit against the Teamsters Union after a series of experiences with union organizers. Months ago Yellis gave union permission to hold an election in his plant to determine the employees wished to join not. The vote, he reports, was nearly four to one against joining the union. Last week a car, presumably containing union representation followed one of his trucks around its route, taking addresses of customers. Later the customers were called upon and an attempt was made, Yellis said, to induce them to take milk from some other dairy. Tuesday six cars follow Yellis trucks around their route. At the request of Yellis, Sheer Musick also sent cars to follow Yellis trucks but made no arrests. "We have no objection," Yellis said, "to any honest, forthright fort by the unions to organize Yellis Dairy. But we feel that employees should decide for themselves whether or not they should join the union. But I'll never send a closed shop agreement." Yellis said that after the election in his plant, those who voted in favor of unionizing quit their jobs, but of their own accord. Aid in County Costs $266,398 During October Old age pensions payments Orange county during October totaled $237,627. Old age payments were received by 3,908 persons in the county. Blind aid totaled $11,010 to persons, the report indicated, while 457 needy children received $1716. Insectary Here Trying New Enemy of Red Scale to See if It Likes Climate Thanksgiving Citrus Market Rises Sharply With the supply near the van-ging point, the average price of oranges shot up last week. The highest point it has been season. The f.o.b. average prices and all grades last week are about $5. This was an increase of 88 cents a box above the age of the preceding week. Levels from central-northern cornia and Arizona are late in spring but reports agree that few so far reaching the mark of excellent color and eat- quality. The oranges from cornia have, however, been ing unusually small. Of the ges shipped last week 60 per cent were 252s and smaller and 14 cent were 344s and smaller. Orate for California navels week was 1250 cars. So far wear the prorate has been unreliable. J. W. Seapy, who has recently been placed in charge of the county insectary on East Vermont street, is waiting with considerable interest to find if a tiny wasp-like creature can make itself at home and reproduce its kind in Orange county citrus groves. The insect has been identified tentatively as a form of Aspidiotiphagus citrinus and was found in Chinese and Formosa citrus districts by J. Linsley Gresitt of Lingnan University who has been collecting possible enemies of citrus pests for the University of California. The main question just now in the minds of Seapy and other entomologists of Agricultural Commissioner Dixon W. Tubbs' office with regard to A. citrinus is whether the new parasite will establish itself in Orange county citrus groves. It multiplies satisfactorily in the insectary and it promises to be a more deadly enemy of red scale than any of the four wasp parasites already known, if it can live and multiply in the groves. Thus there is a possibility that entomologists have found a natural source for oil leases in Verbe Linde. Christmas Tree Corner to Open This Weekend Those special trees for Santa Claus and his piles of gifts on Christmas morning will be on display at the big, new "Christmas Tree Corner" this weekend when John Knapp and Bert Arnold will have on display many fine and beautiful Douglas Fir, White Fir and Silver-Tip trees on the lot at 500 North Los Angeles street, across the street from the Elks club. Headquarters for Santa Claus mail, the owners will have a special mail box for Santa Claus letters the youngsters of this city might like to mail to the "grand old Saint." It is hoped they will be able to have Old Saint Nick as their guest some time during the days preceding the Christmas holiday. Those wishing the finest in Christmas trees will find the exact tree of their choice at the new location. Two Companies Take Oil Leases In Verbe Linde Plane Crash Kills Two Navy Flyers Instant death came to Reserve flyers about 3 day when their two-plane trainer airplane crashed an ange grove at the north ner of Placentia avenue street.

The plane, tra Two Companies Take Oil Leases In Yorba Linda As the result of two whirlwind leasing campaigns it appeared this week that much of the Yorba Linda area would soon be covered by oil leases. Some of the land, lying mainly west of the town, has never before been leased for oil, a part was leased once many years ago and much of the acreage has been leased many times by as many companies, large and small. The largest project was revealed this week by representatives of the Union Oil company who showed landowners a map of the territory they proposed to lease, covering generally the territory bounded by Yorba Linda boulevard on the south, Lake View avenue (east line of the town of Yorba Linda) on the east, Citrus avenue on the north and Rose Drive on the west. Union Oil representatives learned immediately that Hathaway Brothers, a small but efficient independent company operating in the East Coyote field, had just leased a small block of land within the limits of the territory on which Union Oil had its eye. The Hathaway block covered generally the territory from Rose Drive to Valley View avenue and from El Cajon avenue on the south to Orange street, in the old Carlton townsite on the north. Some of the northwest portion of this territory has been drilled and produced some oil, but much of it has not been explored. Both companies offered landowners a monthly rental of $5 an acre, payable six months in advance and one-sixth royalty payments if oil was discovered. Hathaway Brothers took individual leases while Union Oil sought community leases, each covering about 160 acres. Two Local Youths On College Team Hugh Faulkner and Don Liebhart, both from Anaheim, are members of the local youth team. Officers Hoxie and Pike the Anaheim police department who were early at the scene accident said they found wreckage scattered over 600 by 1000 feet.

It is said that after the elec- his plant, those who voted for unionizing quit their out of their own accord. Farmers Still Want Mexican National Help A continuation of the program under which most of the citrus fruit in Orange county has been picked by Mexican Nationals is to be sought by the Associated Farmers of California at their annual convention December 9 and 10 at Fresno, according to measures being drawn by the resolutions committee. Other resolutions expected to be offered to the convention include one advocating sale of federal farm labor camps to groups of farmers on a cooperative basis and a so-called "right to work" measure guaranteeing the right of anyone to employment without having to join a union. Five Orange county members are serving on convention committees. They are W. F. Croddy, resolutions and finance; C. M. McColloch, invitations; Holmes Bishop, public relations; Ken Oliphant, legislation, and G. Vandenberg, organization.

LEAGUE CABINETS MEETING TODAY From this area, Girls' League cabinet officials from high schools are attending the annual Orange county convention at Newport Beach high school today (Thursday). Discussion groups are examining such problems as "More Money for Your League," "A President's Problems," "What Makes a Friendly Campus?" and "Is College for You." Plane Crash Kills Two Navy Flyers Instant death came to two Navy Reserve flyers about 3 p.m. Sunday when their two-place Navy trainer airplane crashed in an orange grove at the northwest corner of Placentia avenue and North street. Commander Clarke E. Ingraham, public relations officer at Los Alamitos Naval Training Station where the plane was based, identified the flyers as Lt. (j.g.) Edwin Harry Paulson, 23, of Long Beach, and Ensign Frank Emmett Koontz, 23, of Manhattan Beach. Officers Hoxie and Plaisted of the Anaheim police department who were early at the scene of the accident said they found plane wreckage scattered oven an area 600 by 1000 feet. One body lay 190 feet from where the plane hit the ground and the other was 255 feet from the same spot. The plane made a hole about three feet deep in the recently irrigated grove near the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Mills. The plane, traveling in a Koontz, 23, of Manhattan Beach.

The plane, traveling in a southerly direction, came down between two rows of orange trees and damaged 12 more or less seriously. One tree was entirely torn out by the roots. Commander Ingraham said the flyers had gone out to practice instrument flying. Police had two versions of what made the plane crash. One was to the effect that the plane's motor went dead. The other was that the pilot apparently reved up the motor over the Perez house on Placentia avenue to gain altitude but instead of rising the plane dived into the ground. Ensign Koontz is survived by his wife and one child. Lieut Paulson's survivors are his parents with whom he lived in Long Beach. At Los Alamitos station it was said the two flyers participated in Naval Reserve flight training every other week. At Long Beach it was said that Lieut. Paulson was the veteran of thousands of hours of flight in mid- and southern Pacific waters during the war. After a tour of duty in the Pacific he returned to the United States and was assigned to the Naval Air Transport Service, piloting Navy personnel from San Francisco to mid-Pacific areas. Presbyterians' New Church Fund Now $76,736 Subscriptions to the New Church and of the First Presbyterian church of Anaheim stood at mid-week at $76,736 after an eight day intensive drive, it was announced by Milo C. Sharp, chairman of the finance committee and campaign director. The church had $45,000 on hand as the result of previous fundraising campaigns. Its goal for this campaign is $100,000. It will continue for 30 months. Meantime the new building contractors, began remodeling operations August 9. The store boasts all new fixtures; re-arrangement of walls, to assure maximum convenience; new lighting; prescription department, soda fountain, and office. Jackson resides with his wife, son and daughter, at 540 South Clementine street. A native son, Mr. Jackson attended local schools and graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1923 with a Graduate in Pharmacy degree. Immediately after completing his college work, he began business at the present location, corner of Emily and East Center streets, in the Arnald Kraemer building, which a quarter-century ago, was newly completed. Unique feature of the remodeled store is the refrigerated Chrysler "Air-Temp" air conditioning and heating system which was installed by Soden Refrigeration. Also installed by that firm was the streamlined fountain which includes stainless steel fixtures. The counter is blue formica with matching stools. More than 200,000 prescriptions have been filled in the prescription department of the store since its first opening, Jackson disclosed. Drew Knight is Mr. Jackson's associate in the newly enlarged prescription department. Other staff members include Mrs. George Lerno and Mrs. Jack Royer, who are in charge of the soda fountain, and Mrs. Charles D. Cutter, Mrs. Ronald Carter and (Continued on Page 2) Four Autos Ransacked on Parking Lot Anaheim police were kept busy Saturday night mainly by hearing complains of car owners whose automobiles had been broken into during the evening. In each case the owner reported he had left his car that night on the Safeway parking lot and returned to find his car broken into. From Thomas W. Atkinson, 913 South Palm, the thief or thieves took two sofa pillows and an Indian blanket worth about $10, by breaking a car window. Charles Degennero, 8192 South Brookhurst lost $42 worth of new clothing when the windshield of his car was broken. Gibson P. Rowe, 237 Redwood street, Brea, had four boys' T-shirts, a new pair of gloves and some cosmetics taken from his car after a windwing had been pushed out of the way of being a California or having a connection with what was once the state's fabulous agriculture as I sat through the day-long hearing in Fresno. A dozen or so congressmen were gathered to hear what farmers of this great state wanted in the way of national aid. They were members of the House Agricultural Committee. "And what did the farmers of this state, parading past the committee through their accredited representatives, want? Handouts in the form of subsidies. "To be sure, some of the commodities, like citrus, were interested in maintaining school lunch indirect aid and adding export assistance, also indirect, through the ECA. Citrus leaders asked for continued high tariffs to protect the domestic market. Sunkist spokesmen also said if price supports were going to be the rule in the next four years they would be in line for their full share of the subsidies. All in all, it's a tough outlook for the taxpayers should this stampede to get into the public funds be even partially enacted into law by the congressmen. "If citrus' and vegetables were modest in their requests; grapes, deciduous, dried fruits, bee keepers, wool growers, and many others were not. They just plain wanted to be taken care of. It was most interesting that the commodity which has been perhaps best taken care of under the greatly abused subsidy plan, potatoes, was most conspicuous by being absent. Not a word about potatoes except by those irate grape and fruit farmers who pointed to the spud growers as 'no more deserving' than themselves for federal handouts. Maybe the potato people thought the better part of valor was to let 'well enough' alone, especially as every effort of the Agricultural Department in recent months has been to cut down the drippings from this particular gravy train. As the various farm blocs paraded past the stand to get in their pleas for assistance and leave at once, I was intrigued to note something of a contrast. Just give us a subsidy and we'll (Continued on Page 2) Anaheim Chest Within 73% of Its $30,392 Goal Anaheim's Community Chest this week had in it $22,342. The goal this year is $30,392, so solicitors working under Paul Demaree, campaign chairman, were 73 per cent of their way to their ob Subscriptions to the New Church fund of the First Presbyterian Church of Anaheim stood at mid-week at $76,736 after an eight day intensive drive, it was announced by Milo C. Sharp, chairman of the finance committee and campaign director. The church had $45,000 on hand as the result of previous fundraising campaigns. Its goal for this campaign is $100,000. It will connue for 30 months. Meantime the new building committee is holding meetings to work out details of plans. It is the hope of the committee to complete the plans and possibly to make a start on the new buildige before the end of the campaign or funds. It was thought possible that the building might be begun some time next year. The new church, of early simified Gothic design and reinforced concrete construction is to be located on the northeast corner of Clementine street and broadway, adjoining the present building which will continue to serve as office and Sunday school place. General Fund Of State Drops To 3-Year Low With only four months of the 1948-49 fiscal year completed, the state general fund expended $204, $2,783, an increase of 86 per cent over the previous year. This announcement was made by Thomas H. Kuchel, state controller, who said that for the first one in three years, the state's general fund cash excess over current obligations dropped below the 100 million mark. Transfers to other funds, said Kuchel, were responsible for the major portion of the spending increase as of October 31. Everybody Reads The Gazette From Thomas W. Atkinson, 913 South Palm, the thief or theives took two sofa pillows and an Indian blanket worth about $10, by breaking a car window. Charles Degennero, 8192 South Brookhurst lost $42 worth of new clothing when the windshield of his car was broken. Gibson P. Rowe, 237 Redwood street, Brea, had four boys' T-shirts, a new pair of gloves and some cosmetics taken from his car after a windwing had been pushed out of the way. Chester Hanson, 703 North Lemon street reported his car had been ransacked but apparently nothing was taken. Proposition 4 Presents Kuchel With Dilemma Thomas H. Kuchel, state controller, is in Los Angeles to confer with Al Kennedy, Los Angeles county counsel, and other county officials on a proposed contract for continued distribution of old age pensions by the county. Adoption of Proposition No. 4 makes it mandatory on the state controller to distribute old age and blind aid checks direct to recipients. Machinery, however, is not available for the controller to take over the warrant writing job on short notice, and as a result, he will ask each county in the state to continue with their present job until such time as it can be centralized. Los Angeles, with some 50 per cent of all old age pensioners, is the first county to be contacted on check distribution. The State Department of Finance will seek separate contracts from the counties to enable welfare work of the department to continue until it can be centralized in the Department of Social Welfare created by No. 4. Anaheim Chest Within 73% of Its $30,392 Goal Anaheim's Community Chest this week had in it $22,342. The goal this year is $30,392, so solicitors working under Paul Demaree, campaign chairman, were 73 per cent of their way to their objective. Of all the Community Chest cities and towns of Orange county just one had at latest reports reached its goal. Laguna Beach had its quota subscribed and money to spare. Its goal was $18,000 and it had 103 per cent of that amount. Santa Ana-Tustin was next. The goal of those communities was $87,360 and solicitors had cash and subscriptions representing 90 per cent of that. Huntington Beach had 87 per cent of its total of $4,300 and Fullerton with a goal of $26,300 was 83 per cent of the way there. Newport Beach with a goal of $20,000 had raised $16,024, or 80 per cent. All with the exception of the Santa Ana-Tustin area started drives at approximately the same time. Santa Ana-Tustin made a late start. UPHOLSTERING SHOP GRAND OPENING HERE C. J. Languard, former G.I. from New York City, has opened an auto and furniture upholstering shop at 407 South Claudina street, this city. Languard attended the Upholstering Trades School in New York City, taking an advanced course in the latest custom upholstering, augmenting his experience of several years in that business. With his wife, he resides in Placentia, but they are planning to make their home in Anaheim soon.
