Colony Quips Spring is here and the great festival of Easter comes next Sunday. For the Christian world there is no time more challenging, no time more suitable for rededication of the spirit and no time better for bowing that stiff neck in humbleness before Almighty God. The heritage given us by Jesus Christ, which made the strongest impression upon the human mind of which we know, is priceless. The Kingdom of God is in you. In My Father's house there are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. You shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and love they neighbor as thyself, and on these two things hang all the law and all the Prophhets. If the average man will give only a little thought to the profound philosophy bound up in these few utterances—and live that way—then most of our problems are solved. There is little use looking at the record. We all know that little progress has been made. The place to make progress is with your own self and it all comes down to a personal, internal job. People do not like to be made to think, so the individual has to do the job—on himself. Truly that may not be enough to help the world very much. But it certainly would be a start. Easter is a good time to start. Harry I. Horn Horn Company Observes 26th Anniversary Harry I.

Although some may q Now comes the latest treat(?) for California gourmet for they will soon be able to buy Florida oranges right in their own back yard. This is the first time in some thirty years that we in the golden state have been accorded this extreme pleasure. The easing of this restriction by this state's great department of agriculture comes about by reason of the fact that the Florida fruit is no longer bothered by citrus canker and the Mediterranean fruit fly. Just what kind of consumer acceptance this fruit will receive here is anybody's guess. If we also get the new intra-state prorate setup then, perhaps, a place will be created for these southern oranges in the California market. It seems to us that this state prorate would invite competing fruit, produced at greatly reduced costs in Florida and also Texas, into California which by the very nature of expanding productions elsewhere is becoming a major outlet in selling our own oranges. If this deal has gone through then another cost will be saddled on California growers of maintaining a new army of clerks, inspectors and spies who will attempt the enforcement of the new marketing order. This will be a great setup for California growers. It will not only take away part of their market but will also saddle on them the cost of administration. This lifting the ban by California was one way operation as Florida did not return the favor. The ban there on the fruit is still clamped down tight as of this writing. The only thing out of the whole business that the California citrus industry man be thankful for is that our crop this year will be short due the late lamented cold winter. Those who have good fruit will most likely receive a good return. But how can those who have damaged fruit see any good in this? The whole deal looks to us like a group of amateurs playing with a team of good, big professionals and taking a licking year after year. It would be a good thing if we lost our amateur standing and Horn Company Observes 26th Anniversary Harry I. Horn, Orange county liquid gas and appliance dealer, this week celebrates his twenty-sixth anniversary of business in this city. He has been located at his present location at 1251 North Palm street for the past twenty years. Horn founded his appliance business in 1923 and became a liquid gas dealer two years later.
