Need Pupils for First Aid Class Enrollment of additional students is needed to assure the launching of an evening first aid course for Anaheim, it was announced by Mrs. Leo Friis, chairman of the Anaheim chapter of the American Red Cross this week. All persons interested can add their names to the roster by calling at the local office, second floor of the city hall building, 204 East Center street, or by telephoning Anaheim 2065. A fully-qualified instructor will be provided by the chapter if enough public demand warrants the course. The word "barbecue" is said to have been used in Virginia prior to 1700. Delegation Seeks Funds for Carbon Canyon Dam Additional funds for California flood control projects will be sought by a delegation headed by C. A. Griffith, chairman of the State Water Resources Board from the house sub-committee on Civil Functions Appropriations in Washington, D. C. The president's budget appropriates $38,300,000 for certain of the projects, while California is asking $69,565,000 for next year. Among projects left out of the president's budget are Carbon Canyon dam, Orange county; Stewart Canyon dam, Ventura county; Black Butte dam, Glenn county; levees in San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, and Terminus and Success dams in Tulare Be a Pal to Your Home!

This company asserts it could do this without hurting the producer because it operates its own distributing agency and does so with greater efficiency than other distributing concerns. Representatives of this company testified before the state bureau of milk control they would like to sell milk at prices from three to 3½ cents under those established by state law. W. B. Woodburn, chief of the state bureau of milk control, states: "In areas where the state does not establish prices, a survey of the prices charged shows they (the major chain store) are charging the same prices as their competitors and which are comparable to prices established in adjacent areas where the state fixes the minimum resale price." Further investigation shows that this same company operating in Seattle where there are no state regulations is selling milk at one cent under home delivered prices. In examining the contention that it could sell for less than the state regulated price the statement of one of the executives of the company should be considered. Speaking before the 32nd annual Cattlemen's convention in December, Rilea W. Doe, vice president of this major company, said: "As a positive illustration for every one hundred dollars worth of sales that went through our stores last year, eighty-three dollars and forty-six cents went to the farmers and other producers of the merchandise." 16½ Per Cent Margin Doe's testimony is to the effect that his company operates on a margin of approximately 16½ per cent profit. The margin of profit for retailing milk permitted under state control is 11 per cent. The company could not, on the basis of these facts, sell for less and maintain its margin policy. Also to be considered are that company's on milk by-products as compared to competitive prices. The state does not set the price for milk by-products, including cream, buttermilk, chocolate milk, butter or cottage cheese. Yet a survey of retail prices for eight dairy commodities not under state price control conducted in Sacramento on February 8 showed the following: Of five principal retail outlets, the major store which has contended it can sell cheaper because it has its own dairy distributing system, had a total price only one cent under the highest prices quoted. Three other retailers ranged from three to nine cents lower. Failed to Undersell Further the major chain store failed to undersell the general market on any single commodity. In one instance, butter, was being undersold as much as six cents per pound for the same quality grade. And to make even more pointed the actual facts about the milk market, home delivery companies quoted prices on whipping cream and other home delivered prices identical with the cash and carry price quotation of the major chain store which contends it could and would sell milk cheaper if the state controls were off. Elect Huber President of Toastmasters Victor Huber was elected president of the Anaheim Toastmasters club, succeeding Herman Hoch, to serve for the April 1 to October 1 term, the election being held last Monday evening during the regular meeting at La Palma Grill. Other officers named include Kenneth Heuler, vice-president; Marion Pickel, sergeant-at-arms; Don Butka, custodian, and Ed Wright, re-elected secretary-treasurer. John Knutzen was re-elected to serve as deputy governor. The local club decided to purchase three road signs from Toastmasters International, Santa Ana, to be placed with the city markers at the north, west and south entrances of Anaheim. Two guests were introduced to the group, C. A. Holiday and Harwood Larson. Holiday joined the club at the close of the meeting. Outgoing president Herman Hoch presided and C. J. Stillson gave the invocation. The five additional words to be added by members to their vocabularies were given by Aubrey Van Verst. R. J. (Bob) Allen gave the subject, "The Power of Hypnosis," for table topic discussion. A unique speakers' program was presented by Vic Huber in which he gave each of four speakers a given situation to which he had to adapt a speech on a given topic. Individual critics discussed the presentations after the speechmakers were introduced by different toastmasters. Introduced by Marion Pickel, general toastmaster of the evening, Dr. Frederick Rusch won Patterson trophy honors for his assigned autobiographical talk. His critic was R. J. Allen. Pretending to be addressing a high school group, Herman Hoch discussed "Preparing Yourself for Success After Graduation." Hursel Snyder criticised the five-minute extemporaneous talk after Hoch was introduced by R. H. In one instance, butter, was being undersold as much as six cents per pound for the same quality grade. And to make even more pointed the actual facts about the milk market, home delivery companies quoted prices on whipping cream and other home delivered prices identical with the cash and carry price quotation of the major chain store which contends it could and would sell milk cheaper if the state controls were off. Just what chance is there that the law, first enacted in 1935, will be repealed or changed? A survey of members of the legislature has developed that there is little, if any, chance of any change in the present law which provides for price fixing, both wholesale and retail, if 65 per cent of the dairy producers in a given marketing area petition for such control. The only measure affecting the law has been introduced by Assemblyman Glen Anderson of Los Angeles. His proposal, AB. 3090, would set-up an involved system of fixing prices for wholesale delivery to grocery outlets separate from other wholesale deliveries. The measure is advanced on the theory that retail store prices as contrasted to home delivery prices are too high. One Cent Differential According to Woodburn, whose agency sets a one cent differential between cash and carry prices and home delivery, there is generally a higher butterfat content in bottled milk than in carton milk. Most home delivered milk is bottled. This, in effect means that the difference in price is perhaps not so great when the home delivery is bottled and the store purchased milk is in carton. At any rate, Anderson's bill, on the testimony of other members of the legislature, is not likely to be adopted. Senator George Miller, Jr., of Contra Costa county, has declared himself an opponent of present milk price control laws. Asked, however, if he intended to sponsor any legislation to change the present act, Miller said: "Wouldn't Get Two Votes" "Such a bill wouldn't get two votes in the senate." In the lower house where Anderson's measure has been presented, Assemblyman Robert L. Condon, Walnut Creek, said he was for repeal of the Desmond Milk Control act but declared he could not see any possibility of Introduced by Marion Pickel, general toastmaster of the evening, Dr. Frederick Rusch won Patterson trophy honors for his assigned autobiographical talk. His critic was R. J. Allen. Pretending to be addressing a high school group, Herman Hoch discussed "Preparing Yourself for Success After Graduation." Hursel Snyder criticised the five-minute extemporaneous talk after Hoch was introduced by R. H. (Hank) Allen. William Davis introduced Vic Huber who, pretending to be speaker at a meeting of school teachers, discussed "A Private Citizen Looks at Our Schools." Earl E. Smith was his critic. "Benefits of the Toastmasters club" were explained for three minutes by Jim Auest who was introduced by C. J. Stillson and criticised by R. H. Allen. Optimist trophy honors went to Royal Marten for his presentation of "Dangers of Traffic Accidents." He pretended to be speaking before a junior high school audience. Louis Taylor was critic and Earl Smith, toastmaster. For assignments next week are as follows: Al Holve, table topic master; Dr. Brock Roberts, toastmaster; Oscar Brower, five words to augment vocabularies; Hank Allen, general evaluator; Dr. Frederick Rusch, grammarian, and Page Vincent, timekeeper. Speech theme will be "Our Home Town: Past, Present and Future." Assigned speakers are Ken Heuler, Jim Auest, Hursel Snyder and R. J. Allen. A cordial invitation was extended to all men interested in the Toastmasters organization to attend the next session at La Palma Grill, next Monday evening at 6:30 o'clock by president Hoch. Anaheim Gazette since 1870. Asked, however, if he intended to sponsor any legislation to change the present act, Miller said: "Wouldn't Get Two Votes" "Such a bill wouldn't get two votes in the senate." In the lower house where Anderson's measure has been presented, Assemblyman Robert L. Condon, Walnut Creek, said he was for repeal of the Desmond Milk Control act but declared he could not see any possibility of any measure changing the law getting out of committee. This despite the fact that the assembly represents the large metropolitan areas where milk controls are generally in effect. Assemblyman George Collins, Jr., of San Francisco, author of a bill to repeal the law prohibiting sale of colored oleomargarine and other sales restrictions on that product, said he could see no purpose in sponsoring legislation to decontrol milk. Not Much Chance of Change In view of these attitudes of the concededly more liberal members of both houses, there does not seem to be much chance of a change in the present milk control laws. The conclusion would be that the members of the legislature, always sensitive to the public's demand, have had little expression in favor of removal of state control from the people of their respective districts. Many have had strong suggestions that the state price controls be kept intact to protect both the dairy industry and the public. The trend nationwide seems to be the opposite to decontrol. Many states have adopted milk controls similar to California and there is increasing demand for deferral marketing agreement controls in states where there are no industry controls at present.
