Colony Quips Heard Governor Warren talk the other night and he said very forcefully that he, personally, did not like daylight saving time this late in the year but because of the dryness the power situation was critical which kept the administration from changing back to regular time. We want right here and now to cast our vote for rain and standard time. This getting up in the dark is just murder. After a spectacle such as the SC-Notre Dame game last week which a clinic of over 100,000 people sat in on, not to mention countless other thousands who saw the classic on television, it is no wonder the most of southern California is slightly gaga. The contest was easily the most exciting ever seen in the Coliseum and ranks with the Trojan's 16-14 win over the Irish in 1931 at South Bend and with the 21-21 Army-Navy classic of this year, not to mention some others we can't remember right now. We were so excited last Saturday we didn't even feel the earthquake. Speaking of football, one of our own local boys, Jerry Shipkey, is playing in the Coliseum on Sunday. He will appear with the Pittsburg Steelers against the Rams. Jerry has carried a big part of the Steelers offense this fall and has given a good account of himself. The Steelers have lost some tough ones by narrow margins and if you want to see a good fullback in action then a trip to the Coliseum is indicated for Sunday. Necullar Seedling Citrus Old Stuff But Scientists Kept Secret 70 Years Anaheim Elks Hold Memorial Services Sunday One hundred fifty Anaheim Elks and guests were in attendance at the annual memorial services held in honor of deceased members last Sunday afternoon, December 5, at the Elks' Lodge in Anaheim. Principal address of the service was delivered by the Reverend Alec G. Nichols, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Santa Ana, whose topic was "What Meaneth This Day." Music for the program was provided by the Fullerton High School and Junior College string ensemble and Miss Edith Browne, soloist. Members of the ensemble included: Virginia Casey, Barbara Garmon, Joan Campbell, Charles Neff and James Garrett. Miss Browne gave renditions of "Trees," by Rasbach, and "The Lord's Prayer," by Mallotte, and was accompanied by Mrs. Betty Stockwell, pianist. The invocation and benediction were delivered by the Reverend Rollo E. Dunham, pastor of the many an Orange county grower faced with the need of replanting part or all grove or groves would like periment with nucellar seeding of which the citrus journal been full for a year. But said not to be a single citrusery in southern California nucellar seedling trees can purchased. It is possible now to obtain few nucellar lemon trees or orange trees are not available. Since common citrus growers begun to hear of new seedlings, which have so far ed much more vigorous, free and productive than trees produced in the family only within the past year the pression naturally prevails the production or nucellar seeding is something scientifically important. It leaked out some months however, that nucellar seedling have been bred by artists at the Citrus Experiment Station for 30 years. An latest Citrograph carried an article by Walter T.

The Gazette has a new scribbler on the staff this week by the name of Bob Funseth who was in last years graduating class of some freshwater, excuse us please, of a great institution of higher learning, Hobart college and comes to us highly recommended by all of his fraternity brothers. They were all glad he got that degree. Seriously, Bob is a good boy and when he asks you for the latest dope please don’t hold anything back. He has orders to write it up anyway. He will take the place of our own Charles Vernon whose doctor advises him to take a leave of absence and a good rest. Good luck to both. There is a new deal coming that is 'inthe bag' and this one is perfectly easy to see through. It is the new Pliofilm container for oranges. This is a beautiful, transparent sack that makes the fruit look like it was varnished and adds greatly to the keeping of oranges in better shape till they reach the consumer. It was used by the Mutual Orange Distributors at the fag end of this season and it is our understanding that the new container will really come into its own next season. The MOD houses that used it first this year report fine consumer acceptance and anything that can be done along that line will be highly appreciated by all growers. The new head of the MOD, Robin Russell, they tell us, really stood up to be counted a week or so ago in a meeting in Redlands. He plainly told all present, growers, packers and marketers, what he thought about the way we in California sold our citrus fruit. The fruit auction where nobody stands to lose except the grower and the pro-rate which tells the eastern buyer exactly how much fruit is coming east in any given week. We don't know a whole lot about the deal—except that it is far from perfect. But it is a healthy sign when a head of one and Junior College string ensemble and Miss Edith Browne, soloist. Members of the ensemble included: Virginia Casey, Barbara Garmon, Joan Campbell, Charles Neff and James Garrett. Miss Browne gave renditions of "Trees," by Rasbach, and "The Lord's Prayer," by Mallotte, and was accompanied by Mrs. Betty Stockwell, pianist. The invocation and benediction were delivered by the Reverend Rollo E. Dunham, pastor of the White Temple Methodist Church of Anaheim. Frost Protection Main Topic for Saturday Meeting Two frosty nights during the past week have given Orange county citrus growers an appetite for a meeting next Saturday when the Extension Service will talk about economical operation of orchard heaters and the efficacy of wind machines, according to Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. Dr. F. A. Brooks, agricultural engineer, University of California, will give an illustrated report on last season's survey and studies of wind machine operations in southern California. D. A. Newcomb of the Corona Foothill Orchards will report on methods of reducing oil consumption and the cost of orchard heating based on records and operations of his orchards in recent years. All growers and others interested in frost protection and methods of reducing costs in their operation are urged to attend this special meeting. The time is 9:30 a.m., Saturday, December 11. The place is the Little Theatre of the Santa Ana high school, 520 West Walnut street. Attend Model Railroad Meet A delegation of the Anaheim Model Railroad Society attended the three-day Pacific Coast Regional Convention of the National Model Railroad Society, held in the old Central station depot at Fifth and Central streets, Los Angeles, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Local president Woody Woodhouse, John Dressler, Ted Bourne, Don Zinda, Eugene Cranston and his father, Albert M. Cranston only within the past year that pression naturally prevails in production or nucellar seas is something scientifically valid. It leaked out some months however, that nucellar seedling have been bred by artists at the Citrus Experiment Station for 30 years. An latest Citrograph carried an article by Walter T. Swingle, former California, but now a citric scientist in Florida, who said that citrus scientists have playing with nucellar seas since 1878. All of which strengthen suspicion among dirt farmers scientists are more interesting impressing other scientists they are in having their varieties diffused among co-workers who don't use scary language but can make their discoveries. For the benefit of the majority of growers who yet know just what a nucellar seedling is, here is a short enlightenment from Dr. Swingle. A true embryo of any plant formed in the embryo sac from egg cell containing only hail normal number of chromosomes. It must be fertilized by a mite (also half the number of chromosomes) which is brought to the pollen tube. In the vast majority of plants there is only true embryo produced in an embryo sac. Strasburger however, that in citrus the type of the nucellar region forceway into the embryo sac and sometimes as many as five or even more embryos from unreduced (diploid) nucellars sues of the mother plant; nucellar bud embryos show trace of the characters of the len parent." In other words, one citrus will produce often as many plants, only one of which show any trace of the characteristics of their father. All are wholly like their mothers they carry none of the worms which may have affected mother and they are much vigorous and more productive. Also the seedling tree doesn't duce until it is eight years or older, which is too long practical farmer to wait for crop. To hurry up production are taken from nucellar plants and budded on nucellar roots budded tree is expected to duce at a much earlier age than the seedling. Jobless Claims In Big Jump in Orange County Unemployment insurance claims filed in the Santa Ana department of employment office for the week ending November 25 totaled 2619, the department reported, and out of the total, it paid insurance to 1441 claimants. Despite the fact that the week reported on was for four instead of the usual five days, the number of claims filed on a statewide basis increased by more than 60,000 over the same week a year ago. CRANSTON ATTENDS STUDENT'S CONCERT Albert M. Cranston, Anaheim voice instructor and opera singer in his own right, attended a well contrasted concert given by one of his students, Charles Clark, of Los Angeles, Sunday afternoon at the First Unitarian church, West Eighth street. The tenor soloist appeared in concert at Melrose Abbey last year and will be heard again at the Abbey this year, Cranston stated. Anaheim Gazette Since 1870 Railroad Meet A delegation of the Anaheim Model Railroad Society attended the three-day Pacific Coast Regional Convention of the National Model Railroad Society, held in the old Central station depot at Fifth and Central streets, Los Angeles, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Local president Woody Woodhouse, John Dressler, Ted Bourne, Don Zinda, Eugene Cranston and his father, Albert M. Cranston were among the more than 1,000 model enthusiasts attending the conclave. The three-day session included a tour of the huge Santa Fe roundhouse conducted by Santa Fe officials. Each night a different two-hour show was enjoyed by representatives from throughout the southland. The films were provided by the American Association of Railways. Of special interest were a number of new low-gauge live steam engines demonstrated with other models, all built to scale of one-quarter inch per foot. A model meet and live-steam engine display will be held at the Cranston home, 206 South Rose street, shortly after the Christmas holidays, it was disclosed. Elk Officers Visit Ontario Officers of the local Elks Lodge will visit the Ontario Lodge this evening, December 9, according to Warren Ashleigh, secretary. Wednesday evening, December 8th, the Anaheim Elks were hosts to three busloads of Long Beach Elks and were entertained by the band from the visiting lodge. There were 1,300 combatant ships in the Navy at the height of World War II. ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1948 Citrus Old Stuff Secret 70 Years Many an Orange county citrus grower faced with the necessity of replanting part or all of his live or groves would like to experiment with nucellar seedlings which the citrus journals have been full for a year. But there is not to be a single citrus nursery in southern California where nucellar seedling trees can be purchased. It is possible now to obtain a new nucellar lemon trees but orange trees are not on the market. Since common citrus growers have begun to hear of nucellar seedlings, which have so far provoked much more vigorous, disease-free and productive than nursery trees produced in the familiar way within the past year the immeasured naturally prevails that production or nucellar seedling something scientifically new. It leaked out some months ago however, that nucellar lemon seedling have been bred by scientists at the Citrus Experimentation for 30 years. And the best Citrograph carried an article Walter T. Swingle, formerly of California, but now a citriculture dentist in Florida, who writes that citrus scientists have been Chest Creeps Nearer Goal By mail and personal solicitation the Anaheim Community Chest during the past week has added $330 to last week's total of $22,342. Paul Demaree, campaign director, said the campaign would go on until the total budget of $30,-392 was raised. Earthquake Jolts Bottles in Palm Springs Nite Spots That jolting and rattling you felt and heard along towards 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon was, as you may have read already in out-of-town papers, was an earthquake! It seems to have been centered somewhere in the desert east of San Jacinto peak and the worst effects were in evidence at Palm Springs. News dispatches say buildings were damaged to the extent of several thousands of dollars and seven persons were injured, two in the rush of a crowd to get out of a movie theatre. But what seems to have impressed reporters most was the loss of many bottles of liquor which were Citrus Supply Increases as Prices Sink Sales of California oranges last week were lighter than they have been at the corresponding time in several years. Nevertheless the f.o.b. average fell slightly. All hands reported that color and eating quality of the new crop of central and northern Calif. navels were unusually good but sizes averaged unusually small. Last week's shipments averaged 51 per cent of 252s and smaller, which was just the same as the average size of what few Valencias were on the market last week. Arizona navels averaged 17 per cent 252s and smaller and the Florida average was 29 per cent 252s and smaller. California and Arizona oranges last week averaged about $4.99 per box f.o.b. packing house. This was about 2c less than the f.o.b. a week earlier. The average for the corresponding week a year ago was $2.04 a box, less than half the price brought by California oranges last week. For the corresponding week in 1946 the average was $4.84 and in 1945 it was $4.38. Heaters in L Orchards First Sunday Morning Thermometers in view of the citrus belt disband which was the coldest present season, but the accord as to which wests weekend. Last week. For much of Orange coldest hour of the pre-winter morning and thermometers dropped degrees and many lemons heaters were lighted up. But there was a difference from the orange belt heim. Ed Bruns, who weather closely with gardens, said the colder the season at his place this time Saturday morning temperature reached degrees. The lowest temperature registered at his place morning was 30 degrees flow of air down the canyon kept the temperature falling below that point. But on Ball road oway south of his place nature fell to 27 degree Wind machines in thwere started and, with at slightly higher than level, soon raised the tto 36 degrees. It seems to have been centered somewhere in the desert east of San Jacinto peak and the worst effects were in evidence at Palm Springs. News dispatches say buildings were damaged to the extent of several thousands of dollars and seven persons were injured, two in the rush of a crowd to get out of a movie theatre. But what seems to have impressed reporters most was the loss of many bottles of liquor which were jolted from shelves of bars and liquor stores in that Hollywood play place. Several jolts were reported from points near the center of the tremblor but only two were felt here. The first was a fairly light shock but it was followed in a few seconds by a fairly stiff jolt which rolled cans and bottles from grocery store shelves but did no perceptible damage to buildings. It was reported from Cal. Tech. that the seismograph showed the shock to have been more severe than the "33 quake which wrought havoc in Long Beach and other communities south of Los Angeles. But the shock here was not near as severe as that of 1933. Orange Driver Charged With Drunken Driving Three women sustained major injuries received in two automobile accidents, Saturday evening occurring within 15 minutes of each other and involving a vehicle operated by Eula Johnson, 45, of 13061 Berrydale street, Orange, who was arrested on a felony drunk driving charge by California Highway patrolmen. Seriously injured in the first accident occurring at 6:15 p.m. on the Anaheim-Olive Road at Placentia was Spella Lida Hammrick, 60, of Box 172, Olive, who is in Fullerton General hospital with major back injuries, after it was alleged that the vehicle driven by Mrs. Johnson sideswiped her car causing it to overturn and skid for 150 feet. It was reported that after examining her car, Mrs. Johnson continued west on the Anaheim-Olive Road. The second accident occurred on the Placentia-Yorba Road east of Van Buren when the Johnson car was reported to have collided with smaller and the Florida average was 29 per cent 252s and smaller. California and Arizona oranges last week averaged about $4.99 per box f.o.b. packing house. This was about 2c less than the f.o.b. a week earlier. The average for the corresponding week a year ago was $2.04 a box, less than half the price brought by California oranges last week. For the corresponding week in 1946 the average was $4.84 and in 1945 it was $4.38. All central and northern California packing houses were busy last week and this week. Shipments last week totaled 1493 cars. The bulk of California oranges for the Christmas trade will have been shipped early next week. The rain was heavy enough in central California to halt picking Friday and Monday and it was thought this might leave the Christmas supply short. Florida last week shipped 4000 cars of oranges and tangerines. The quality of fruit from that state was said to be good but there was a high percentage of decay in fruit in the hands of the retail trade, especially in Florida’s “color added” fruit. An increasing supply of lemons lowered the price average sharply last week though the lower prices were still regarded as “satisfactory.” There was some accumulation of small fruit and lower quality in the hands of the trade but fancy quality 360s and larger were bringing premium prices. The f.o.b. average for all sizes and grades last week was about $5.68 a packed box which was about $1.63 less than the average of the previous week. It was $1.19 more than the average in the corresponding week a year ago when the price was $4.49. For the same week in 1946 it was $5.84 and in 1945 it was $5.48. Colds and flu were reported on the increase in certain areas but they were not believed to have affected the demand for lemons. Prorate for this week was 225 cars. The first shipment of Japanese oranges, mandarin style, was due shortly in Vancouver, B.C. The shipment was understood to be equivalent to about 41,000 boxes. Canada was expected to absorb all the shipment as it can be purchased outside the U.S. Dollar quota. It was not expected, however, that this shipment would have any effect on Canada’s importation of fruit from the U.S. Thieves Raid Research Lab Completed Standard Oil A research staff of eight work this week in one modern and fully equipped search laboratories in the lowing completion of their Laboratory of Californiacsearch Corporation, a supersized Standard Oil company. Constructed at a cost than $1,000,000 the new is managed by R.F.Faule been with the researchtion of Standard Oil simply. All phases of the oil are under observation at lab with activity grouping to exploration, production and surface projections. The new research lab located south of Imperial on the Standard Oil’s Coyote lease. Grand Opening For Remodel Schultz Store The grand opening of remodeled Aaron Schultz store is slated for Saturday of this week to Philip Segrais, mana Anaheim store. Featured in the “new addition to the display hold furniture, are a Genetric model kitchen, a television, radio room and a mall.

Acting under directions from Washington, the selective service actor is notifying draft boards the county that its quota will be 13 men. For the state, the induction call was reduced from 1,233 to 672, the panel stated. To date, the date of the January induction has not been fixed. More Autos in California Than Any Other State In the first eight months of 1948, 220 automobiles were registered Orange county. The number on which fees were paid was 91,266. The rest were exempt from payment of vehicle taxes and licenses. In the whole state, 4,004,298 more vehicles were registered, on 68,609 of which fees were paid. The remainder were owned and rented by some governmental agency. This is the highest registration ever recorded in California. It puts California higher than New York which is the second highest with 11,978 vehicles. ILLINOIS WOMAN VISITING HERE Mrs. Floyd A. Smith of Springfield, Illinois, arrived here Monday via the El Capitan, streamliner train, to visit relatives in Fullerton and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Rouland of 9375 South Hansen road, Anaheim. The Rouland family and Mrs. Smith were former next door neighbors in Springfield. Mrs. Smith is a former resident of Fullerton. GET NOTARY PUBLIC COMMISSIONS Two Anaheim residents have been commissioned Notaries Public, Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan announced today. They are Rodney T. Parsons, 130 East Center street, and C. D. Yoder, 620 North Los Angeles street. The record time for building a battleship was 34½ months—the time it took to build the USS Iowa. The first shipment of Japanese oranges, mandarin style, was due shortly in Vancouver, B. C. The shipment was understood to be equivalent to about 41,000 boxes. Canada was expected to absorb all the shipment as it can be purchased outside the U.S. Dollar quota. It was not expected, however, that this shipment would have any effect on Canada's importation of fruit from the U.S. Thieves Raid Two Schools And Gas Station Two Anaheim elementary schools and a gas station were visited by thieves last week with over fifty dollars stolen. Hardest hit was Betts Service Station, 1947 Anaheim Olive Road, which was broken into on Wednesday evening, December 1. Entrance was gained by prying open a door. Cash totaling $35 was taken from a desk drawer. The George Washington elementary school at 233 East Cypress Street was entered over the weekend and cash totaling $11.25 was taken from desk drawers. The thief entered the school building through an unlocked door. Broken into with the most effort but yielding the least was the Benjamin Franklin school at 521 West Water street where the thief entered the building through a louver in the roof and then through a trap door into the building itself to take six dollars from an unlocked desk drawer. IT'S A BOY! Proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Richard W. Rolph, 10651 Stanford street, Garden Grove, who welcomed a baby son, Friday, at Santa Ana Community hospital. Tax Exemption If - You're 65 If you're nearing 65 years old or become 65 years old before December 31, you'r an extra $600 exemption your 1948 income. And wife (or husband) reached this year, you get another tra exemption for her (this is in addition to the $600 exemption now great taxpayer and his spouse). Keep this in mind again time you make out your income tax return, come March. In the 11 years before of the Wagner act that 11,656 work stoppages; years under the same law have been 37,383 work s Heaters in Lemon Orchards Fired Sunday Morning Thermometers in various parts of the citrus belt disagreed as to which was the coldest night of the present season, but they were in accord as to which was the coldest weekend. Last weekend was. For much of Orange county the coldest hour of the present season was Sunday morning when orchard thermometers dropped to 28 degrees and many lemon orchard heaters were lighted up. But there was a different story from the orange belt east of Anaheim. Ed Bruns, who watches the weather closely with good instruments, said the coldest hour of the season at his place came sometime Saturday morning when the temperature reached a low of 29 degrees. The lowest temperature registered at his place Sunday morning was 30 degrees. A gentle flow of air down the Santa Ana canyon kept the temperature from falling below that point. But on Ball road only a little way south of his place the temperature fell to 27 degrees briefly. Wind machines in that vicinity were started and, with warmer air at slightly higher than ground level, soon raised the temperature to 36 degrees. Million Dollar Grant Requested To Start Carbon Canyon Dam Work The State Water Resources Board at San Francisco was requested last week by Consulting Engineer A. A. Beard of the Orange County Flood Control District to recommend that the U. S. Army Engineers in Washington ask for a $1,-000,000 federal appropriation to start construction of the Carbon Canyon Dam. The Carbon Canyon Dam, to be located about a third of a mile south of the town of Olinda and bisecting Rose Drive at this point, is the fourth in a series of eight units proposed for flood control in Orange county and will be the first to be started since the war. Latest figures of the U. S. Army engineers in Los Angeles who are making final plans and specifications for the unit, indicate that the cost of construction will be around $3,000,000. RE-LOCATION OF OLINDA SCHOOL Construction of the dam will necessitate the relocation of the Olinda elementary school as well as a section of the Carbon Canyon highway. Present plans call for the relocation of the highway to a higher elevation with the south section of Rose Drive closed off resulting in this road which at present runs from the Yorba Linda registered at his place Sunday morning was 30 degrees. A gentle flow of air down the Santa Ana canyon kept the temperature from falling below that point. But on Ball road only a little way south of his place the temperature fell to 27 degrees briefly. Wind machines in that vicinity were started and, with warmer air at slightly higher than ground level, soon raised the temperature to 36 degrees. Research Lab Completed by Standard Oil A research staff of eighty began work this week in one of the most modern and fully equipped oil research laboratories in the west following completion of the La Habra Laboratory of California Research Corporation, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil company of California. Constructed at a cost of more than $1,000,000 the new laboratory is managed by R. F. Faull who has been with the research organization of Standard Oil since 1937. All phases of the oil industry are under observation at the new lab with activity grouped according to exploration, drilling, production and surface processing. The new research laboratory is located south of Imperial highway on the Standard Oil’s Murphy-Coyote lease. Grand Opening For Remodeled Schultz Store The grand opening of the newly remodeled Aaron Schultz Furniture store is slated for Friday and Saturday of this week according to Philip Segrais, manager of the Anaheim store. Featured in the “new” store, in addition to the display of household furniture, are a General Electric model kitchen, a television salon, radio room and a maple shop. The large remodeling job has been underway for the past month and was under the direct supervision of Mr. Segrais. Also included in the remodeling has been the installation of new show windows and a neon sign. On hand for the grand opening will be representatives of the General Electric and Philco corporations to answer queries concerning American Legion, Post No. 72 of Anaheim last Monday evening at the regular meeting at the city hall club rooms. Presentation of the honor was made by Joe Long of Riverside, past department commander of California. Mr. Long had the honor of installing Mr. Rude as commander of the local post some ten years ago and the event Monday evening was of prime significance to both gentlemen. Mr. Rude has been on the sick call and relief committees of the local post for the past twenty years and for his work in the projects of the local group, the life membership was presented to him as a token of appreciation. This is his thirtieth year as a Legionnaire. Two other such honors have been presented local members in the past, one membership to Wm. P. Webb and the other to the present president, Dave Proud. Co-signer with the president, Proud, was C. A. Schmitt, post adjutant. Izaak Walton Dinner Banquet ‘Big Success’ More than 450 Izaak Walton League members and guests attended the sixteenth annual Ladies night dinner at Olive Civic Center Wednesday night of last week. The banquet-program was supervised by President Dick Martin and general chairman John O'Kane. Delectable barbecued beef with all the trimmings highlighted the banquet menu. Chef Bud Paschall, assisted by a competent staff, was given credit for the excellent “feed” although it was rumored that his wife, Mrs. Paschall, was really head cook. The invocation was given by Rev. Wiechman of St. Paul's church in Olive. Versatile master of ceremonies was Elmore Finch who introduced leading members from the local and visiting clubs and the guests. He presented a review of the progress made by the local chapter during 1948 and gave a resume of the past history of the group. The speaker stressed the need for a conservation program designed to protect natural resources for the benefit of future generations. Five talented young Anaheim citizens presented a program of musical entertainment during the evening. They were Vernon and RE-LOCATION OF OLINDA SCHOOL Construction of the dam will necessitate the relocation of the Olinda elementary school as well as a section of the Carbon Canyon highway. Present plans call for the relocation of the highway to a higher elevation with the south section of Rose Drive closed off resulting in this road which at present runs from the Yorba Linda boulevard to the Carbon Canyon highway to end at the dam site. Completion of Carbon Canyon dam will mark the elimination of one of the most troublesome flood menaces remaining in Orange county. Surging flood waters from Carbon Canyon have resulted in traffic delays on the Orangethorpe avenue and caused property damage as far south as the city of Anaheim. Although plans for the disposal of flood waters await word from the U. S. Army engineers as to the rate at which flood water will be released from the dam, tentative plans call for the construction of a storm channel to the Santa Ana river and a sinking basin west of the present sinking basin of the Anaheim Union Water company, according to J. A. Bradley, county flood control engineer. Beach Pollution Case Continued To March 28 While state health authorities testified that there were evidences of beach pollution a mile north and a mile and a half south of the mouth of the Santa Ana river where the outfall sewer empties into the ocean and officials of the Joint Outfall Sewer system admitted there was a break in the outfall sewer which permitted between 10 and 15 per cent of the sewage to escape into the waters of the ocean, the hearing on a state board of health action to revoke the permit of the Orange County Outfall Sewer district was continued till Thursday, March 28. Meantime there will be a bond election to determine if ten new sanitary districts will issue bonds to build a new sewer system, including a new outfall sewer. The bond election, it was disclosed at the hearing last Thursday in Los Angeles has been tentatively set for February 28. If the bonds fail Tax Exemption If -- You're 65! If you're nearing 65 years of age or become 65 years old on or before December 31, you're allowed an extra $600 exemption in tax on your 1948 income. And—if your wife (or husband) reaches that age this year, you get another $600 extra exemption for her (or him). This is in addition to the regular $600 exemption now granted the taxpayer and his spouse. Keep this in mind against the time you make out your federal income tax return, come next March. In the 11 years before passage of the Wagner act there were 11,656 work stoppages; in the 11 years under the same act there have been 37,383 work stoppages. Five talented young Anaheim citizens presented a program of musical entertainment during the evening. They were Vernon and LaFern Cherry, Cliff (Bud) Young and Marjorie and Eugene Cranston. Their repertoire included "Steel Guitar Rag," "Whispering" and "Blue Hawaii," with Cranston on cornet; Cherry, steel guitar and clarinet; Young, trap drum, and Miss Cranston, piano. Ted Jolley, Federal and State game warden, was introduced by Roy Mabee, past national director. Jolley spoke briefly on some of his early experiences in Texas and expressed his praises of California. Door prizes were won by Mrs. William Simmons and Mrs. Howard Flynn. The Roquet Plan award went to Donald Pannier. Sam Loard, Jr., won the boat and motor, given as a prize during the building fund campaign. Appreciation for this event which climaxed the "Ike's" 1948 season, was expressed in a verse composed by Alf G. Green, as follows: With a bunch of Izaak Waltons, I enjoy this barbecue. The pleasure that it gives me, I owe it all to you. As I look this fine bunch over, Both the women and the men; I know that I'd be happy For a chance to come again! Eighty-five per cent of new Navy recruits are unmarried and not engaged to be married, and about one-third of them give financial aid to a dependent. Meantime there will be a bond election to determine if ten new sanitary districts will issue bonds to build a new sewer system, including a new outfall sewer. The bond election, it was disclosed at the hearing last Thursday in Los Angeles has been tentatively set for February 28. If the bonds fail of a two-thirds majority, the state authorities have the legal authority to construct what works they deem necessary to take care of the county's sewage and charge the cost to owners of property within the present sanitary districts. Testimony at the hearing Thursday indicated the contamination of beaches near the outfall sewer was barely perceptible by instruments during November but there had been greater pollution during October. Testimony of engineers was to the effect that the leak in the present outfall was approximately 450 feet from the outer end and some 2700 feet from the present mean high tide line. A section of the line had settled, testimony indicated, leaving room enough for a man to slip his hand between the joints. Meantime preliminary design for a new 7000 foot new outfall sewer line to serve the new sanitary district was submitted last week to Sanitation Survey engineers. It was designed by A. M. Rawn, chief engineer of the Los Angeles county sanitary district, Daniel Boom, deep sea diver and heavy construction consultant, and Fred D. Bowlus, construction engineer. The United States Naval Academy was established October 10, 1845.
