Colony Quips Some time between now and April 5th the decision will be made on some revolutionary changes regulating the marketing of the California citrus crop. In this important referendum most of those growers who market through the California Fruit Growers Exchange will have their ballots marked for them by the head office in Los Angeles. Those districts and some individual packing houses in the Sunkist organization who withdrew the right of the central body to vote for them on legislative matters will have the matter voted on by their individual growers, many of whom have already received the simple, numbered ballot from the Department of Agriculture. The choice on the ballot is simply a 'yes' or a 'no' vote. If you vote 'no' then you vote for the same prorate setup that is in operation today. If you vote 'yes' then you accept all four of the amendments handed you by the 'bureau' boys in Washington. You can make no selection and if you want one you must take all. Orange county is, of course, vitally interested in getting its fruit on the way to market as early as it is mature and not having to wait until the prorate board, dominated by navel and northern Valencia interests, gets the fruit it wants into the good early spring market and lets this county hold. Mayor Appoints Recreation Board Members at City Council Meeting With the appointment of members to the Recreation Board by Mayor Charles Pearson at Tuesday evening's city council meeting, the culmination of three years work by the recreation committee of the chamber of commerce and the Anaheim P-TA was reached. The appointments of the mayor and approved by the council were as follows: Osceola Heying, city council; Arthur Shipp key, AUHS board; Herbert Stabert, elementary school board (two year terms); John Gausche and Tex Middleton, members-at-large (one year terms); Mayo Charles Pearson, Paul Demaree and Mel Gauer (ex-officio members). Created by Ordinance The Recreation Board was created by a city ordinance passed in June 1948 by the council for the purpose of developing, and supervising an all-year, comprehensive youth-adult recreation program. It is to act as an advisory body to the council. Member 10 Take-On Sunday Morning Endurance fliers, Bill Barris and Dick Riedel, will make a fourth attempt at setting a new world's endurance record, Sunday at 10 a.m., when they take off in their "Sunkist Lady" from the Fullerton Air Service field bound on a non-stop, cross-country flight to Miami and return. Upon their return to Fullerton and southern California they will remain in the air for what they hope will be a successful attempt at breaking the existing world's endurance record of 726 hours. The cross-country hop is expected to take 15 days or 360 hours. Refueling operations will be conducted at airports enroute with the same procedure as was used in their three previous attempts at setting a new endurance record followed. A ground crew will accompany them in another plane, landing at each of the fueling ports to carry out the necessary operations. Aiding in the financing of the projected flight is the Fullerton chamber of commerce which earlier this week voted $1500 to the flight and agreed to assist in raising an additional $2000 from Fullerton merchants. On the eastbound leg of the flight the Fullerton endurance pair plan to refuel at Phoenix, Arizona; El Paso, Big Springs and Fort Worth, Texas; Meridian, Mississippi; Jacksonville, Florida, and finally to Miami. Fueling stops on the homeward leg are to be: Tallahassee, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; Beaumont, San Angelo and El Paso, Texas; Tucson, Arizona, and finally (they hope) southern California and Fullerton. Auto Theft Trio Get 90 Days in Jail Samuel Jesus Vigil, 22 years, 1063 South Hamilton street, Pomona; Edward Lawrence McCook, 23 years, 929 West Fourth street, Pomona, and Mrs. Luanne Carnine, 1574 North Helkian street, Alto Loma, pleaded guilty to charges of tampering with vehicles, vagrancy and possession of a concealed weapon at their arraignment in city court Tuesday morning and were each sentenced to 90 days in the county jail by Created by Ordinance The Recreation Board was created by a city ordinance passed in June 1948 by the council for the purpose of developing and supervising an all-year comprehensive youth-adult recreation program. It is to act as an advisory body to the council. Members will serve without compensation. A tentative budget of $10,000 has been set up with the city providing 60 per cent of the fund and the high school and elementary school districts each furnishing 20 per cent. The setting up of the budget for the 1949 fiscal year is expected to be one of the first actions of the newly-appointed group along with the appointment of a recreation director to supervise the plan. The recreation program proposes to coordinate all of the city's recreation into one master plan using existing facilities available at city parks and schools. Specific projects to be sponsored by service clubs and other civic organizations are to be included in this recreation plan. Athletic events as well as games homecraft, hobbies—any activity which constructively consumes less time will be fostered. AUHS Students In Big County Music Festival Eighty-four instrumentalists and vocalists chosen from the Anaheim Union high school music department will participate in the Orange County Annual Music festival to be held tomorrow (Friday) evening at 8 o'clock at the Santa Anita high school auditorium. Final plans were announced last week by Clinton Sawin of Newport Harbor high school, president of the Orange County Public School Music Teachers Association. Approximately 500 boys and girls selected by the music teachers association will be presented in a varied program. Groups performing will include a 90-piece orchestra, a 98-piece band, a girl-glee club of 175 voices, a boy-glee club of 125 voices and a 250 voice mixed chorus. Might as well follow along with some 'gossip' coming from a local unit of the Sunkist organization relative to what some of the members are thinking about on the juice deal. There has long been a feeling that the committee on by-products of the Exchange is dominated by the navel producers and because of this there is a less aggressive attitude than is necessary to make this activity pay the grower. With our present antiquated selling methods there are always 'factors' which stand in the way of the grower being returned his cost of production. These 'factors' are currently the many small size oranges that must be handled. Some years ago it was the preponderance of large sizes. At any rate the small fruit, which is very good to eat, has been sent to by-products and sometimes the cost of handling is paid the producer. Now some of the packing houses that ship Valencias are getting tired of the deal and are going so far as to suggest that a separate operation be carried out by leading Valencia districts. Since the recent major freeze there seems to be a lack of interest because there may not be much fruit to juice. It is still insisted that the present market on small fruit does not represent a profit to the grower and that a real aggressive by-products program and examination of the new frozen concentrate could do so if pursued by interested Valencia growers. This group, all loyal Exchange members, suggested that the attitude of Valencia shippers be determined with respect to an operation independent of the Exchange, if the latter should find it difficult, because of diverse interest, to initiate a forward moving policy on frozen concentrate. This really sounds like something—if the 'diverse interest' (navel men) don't politely stop it up higher. If you remember back into the late thirty's there were several MOD houses, which shipped Valencias, who got together Samuel Jesus Vigil, 22 years, 1063 South Hamilton street, Pomona; Edward Lawrence McCook, 23 years, 929 West Fourth street, Pomona, and Mrs. Luanne Carnine, 1574 North Helkian street, Alto Loma, pleaded guilty to charges of tampering with vehicles, vagrancy and possession of a concealed weapon at their arraignment in city court Tuesday morning and were each sentenced to 90 days in the county jail by City Judge Bonnat. The trio were arrested Monday evening by Officers Plaisted and Cornell at Ohio and Center streets where they had been siphoning gasoline and looting parked cars. A 25 caliber, semi-automatic pistol, Austrian make, was found in their car. Investigating officer, Lt. Thomas Taylor reported that the police had responded to a telephone call reporting the trio at the parking lot. In city court, Mrs. Carnine, revealed she was the wife of an army officer, stationed in Germany and that she had recently returned from there. McCook told Judge Bonnat that he was an unemployed musician and Vigil who is also unemployed reported that he was a baker.

Council OK's Council OK’s Purchase of New Off-Street Lot Anaheim’s off-street parking program received another boost Tuesday when the city council passed a resolution authorizing the purchase of property on South Claudina street enlarging an existing 60 car lot to an 85 car lot, making it the second largest off-street parking area in the city.

A resolution passed by the executive board of the Joint Outfall (Continued on Page 6) Navel Orange Shipping 50% Navel Orange Shipments 50% Below Normal February Novel orange shipments were the lowest in twenty-five years and only 50 per cent of normal with an expected total movement of 15,500 cars, or 6,000 below 1948, the Los Angeles chamber of commerce reported today. Orange growers predict the California-Arizona valencia crop will approach 49,300 cars, as compared to 58,700 last year, reported Roy M. Hagen, agriculture committee chairman, in the chamber's February farm survey. Valencia losses from frost may amount to 15,200 cars, the survey showed. Meat Price Sag Halted Livestock market unsteadiness which caused deep sags in meat prices during February appears halted, with prospects to "more orderly controlled" selling in months ahead, reported Hagen. After heavy marketing in early February, shipments declined in mid-month and prices stiffened, he reported. Wind-up of winter-fed cattle marketing should find livestock in reduced supply, Hagen said. Sheep and lamb supplies are expected to continue light. Warm weather in late February stimulated plant growth, Hagen said, but rainfall continued subnormal. Truck crops are maturing late, although quality is on the upswing after frosty Jaunary. State Sends County $355,977 for Aged, Blind Payments State Controller Thomas H. Kuchel announced today his office had made an advance of $335,977.64 to Orange county for payments to the aged and blind.

For the entire state, Kuchel mailed out $16,044,460.04 in warrants to meet the aid payments, plus $808,824.58 for administrative costs. Under the arrangements of the state with the various counties, all administrative costs are being paid by the state until the state department of social welfare takes over the personnel of the county welfare departments.
