Colony Quips While there is as yet no hint of fall in the air the rosy hue or should we say smell of the coming football season can be discerned by many, at least by the ones who are getting anxious. We note that even the big mets are giving football a little space. Of course the Times has been booming up their pro game, wait there, it should be pro-exhibition. And with all the ballyhoo, which smells like the wrassling school of promotion, the gate, take, sucker list, or whatever else you want to call it has been on the downgrade. With the frantic attempts to make the suckers think that the old 'college try' permeates these pro-exhibitions the feeling still grows that the contest part of these shows is closely akin to grunt and groan kind. And if you think there is much of a contest in any professional wrestling match then you had better get to the nearest psychiatrist and lay your money down for an extended course of treatment. If the treatment takes then you will be in much better shape to evaluate the pro-football racket or sport we had better say so as not to be libelous. If it is true that executives of a great newspaper like the Times are also on the payroll of the pro racket, we mean sport, then how in the world can a reader be sure of getting a true picture of what is going on? Isn't it reasonable to suppose that perhaps the best side of the picture given or at least the one that will draw the most... City Holds Slight Edge As Shoe-String Battle Enters Final Day The city of Anaheim entered what may be the final skirmish of the battle of the shoestrings holding a slight edge in the proceedings to date. Yesterday Judge West ruled that the council's determination of the property was sufficient and that the petition of the property owners for annexation was conclusive. He ruled that the council could reconvene and vacate an adjournment to complete unfinished business. Thus the action of Anaheim's council has been upheld to date and the attempts of Attorney Blodgett representing Meiser to contest the action point by point have been defeated. The city of Anaheim is expected to rest its case today but it is anticipated that Blodgett will attempt to offer evidence as to whether the property in question is uninhabited and if it is contiguous to the city of Anaheim. Depending upon the rulings of Judge West it is possible that the lengthy litigation which had its origin last September may come to a final conclusion today. Anaheim has been represented by City Attorney Preston Turner and assisted by S. B. Kaufman and Claude Ownens. Anaheim Banker Named to State-Wide Commission R. Foster Lamm, president, Southern County Bank, Anaheim, has been appointed a member of the Commission on Agriculture of the California Bankers association, according to an announcement by H. V. Alward, president of the association and vice-president, Bank of California N. A., San Francisco. As a member of the commission, Mr. Lamm will take an active part in the program of the Cali- The east Center street chapter of Jolly Boys International cashed in on one of their dividends this week and dessert was enjoyed by all through the courtesy of Tom Henry, the bill being paid by Joe Hurst. The deal was put over—'er—we mean consumed in this fashion: Joe Hurst complained of a wasp's nest at home and Tom Henry offered to liquidate the offenders if Joe would buy the dessert. At the time there were four Jolly Boys at the table and Joe readily agreed and a contract was entered into after Joe had carefully counted four of his fingers. Next came a practical demonstration of mental telepathy for within fifteen minutes the congregation had increased to fifteen. Tom beamed and Joe glowered or something. But the real pay-off came the next day when the club found out that Joe had three wasp nests to liquidate instead of one. Tom did the job and has taken the matter of extra compensation up with his attorney. Who can tell, there might be another piece of pie in it for the Jolly Boys. Former Secretary of State Jimmy Byrnes is certainly putting in some hard licks against President Truman's program, calling it a socialistic welfare state and predicting that we all will soon become economic slaves to big government. That is what many of us have been hollering for a long time. Jimmy just became aware of the picture and then when he was not top-dog anymore. Baritone Bud Paschal will sing old time popular selections and lead community singing. A small county orchestra will present solo numbers and accompany the artists.

Anaheim Lasses Reign At 4th Celebrations "Anaheim, Anaheim, Everywhere it's Anaheim . . ." The opening words to the featured song of the Community Chest benefit show presented in May were never more true than over the Fourth of July when two local beauties were selected to reign over celebrations in Huntington Beach and Santa Ana. Priscilla Orman, 17, of 607 North Zeyn street won the bathing beauty contest at Huntington Beach Friday evening and was crowned by western star Hoot Gibson. Osborne alledgedly twice led Anaheim police down Center street, speeding in excess of 70 miles per hour and running all stop signs.

Finally at 5:45 a.m., the highway patrol stopped Osborne at Manchester and Western. He posted $50 bail on traffic violations in Anaheim city court and $250 bail with justice court. Amend Orange Marketing Order The U. S. Department of Agriculture announced today, following approval by growers in a referendum, amending the California-Arizona marketing order program. The amended order becomes effective November 1, 1949. Principal amendments provide for (1) the marketing by handlers of early maturity or short-life oranges of a percentage of such fruit equal to the percentage of total fruit to be marketed by all handlers; (2) regulating the handling of oranges marketed within the states of California and Arizona; (3) the addition of provisions permitting the issuance of size regulations; and (4) increasing the committee administering the program to eleven members by the addition of four handler members, and setting up grower committee representation by districts insofar as practicable. 76% Favor In a referendum held during the period March 7 to April 5, 1949, these amendments were favored by 76 per cent of the fruit represented in the voting, and by 74.6 per cent of the number of persons participating in the voting. This official referendum result includes the ballots cast by cooperative marketing associations for their members who did not withdraw for voting purposes. The Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act specifies that the Department must permit cooperative associations to vote for their members.

Southland Plymouth Meet at Santa An Headquarters for the So-Model Plane Meet was moved The opening words to the featured song of the Community Chest benefit show presented in May were never more true than over the Fourth of July when two local beauties were selected to reign over celebrations in Huntington Beach and Santa Ana. Priscilla Orman, 17, of 607 North Zeyn street won the bathing beauty contest at Huntington Beach Friday evening and was crowned by western star Hoot Gibson. Down Santa Ana way, Paula Doretti of 327 South Olive street was "Miss Skyrocket" at the giant fireworks celebration held in the municipal bowl. Crowds of over 100,000 were reported to have attended the three-day celebration at Huntington Beach. It was the 46th annual "Fourth" observance for the beach town. At Santa Ana an estimated 6,000 people witnessed the fireworks display sponsored by the Santa Ana Firemen's Benevolent association. Crowds, parades, pyrotechnic displays, stipendous events—but when it came to fair lasses—it was still Anaheim! LEAVE FOR JUNIOR RED CROSS CENTER Joan Spencer and Ronald Lemcke, Anaheim Union high school members of the Junior Red Cross, are leaving Monday to attend the Junior Red Cross training center at Asilomar, near Pacific Grove, which ends July 21. "It is lucky for us that years ago a few serious-minded conservationists not only realized the wastage of natural resources that we as a nation largely ignored, but did something about it."—Edward de Graffenried, Alabama congressman. Peru has vast mineral resources and ranks third in silver production. Parking Meters Relocated on Center Street A six man crew started relocation of parking meters along Center street this week in compliance with an order of the State Highway department. Practically all of the 266 meters on the city's main stem have to be moved in the change from diagonal to parallel parking. The relocation will result in a loss of 113 parking stalls leaving 153 still available. Workmen started at Olive and today were in the 160 block of East Center. It is expected that the job will be completed in two weeks. All bids for the two structures must be in by 4:30 p.m., August 2, in the board office at Fremont Junior high school. Southland Plymouth Meet at Santa Ana Headquarters for the Southland Model Plane Meet was moved tions were completed for the s est model plane competition at Ana, July 8-10. Robert Holland, 1948 nati contest director of the event, indicated that over 300 contestants have registered for the meet with entries being received from such distant points as Santa Barbara, Imperial and Blythe. Free Flight Event Entries indicated that interest is centered in the free flight gas event in which tiny models with wing spans ranging up to 7 feet will climb aloft powered by miniature gasoline engines. Limited to a motor run of 20 seconds, the midget craft remain in the clouds for periods as long as 30 minutes by soaring in rising air currents. According to Holland, the speed events have also enjoyed a heavy registration. In these contests tiny piston engine, and jet engine powered planes will race at speeds which may exceed 150 miles an hour. Of the control line type, the diminutive craft fly in a circle on steel lines and are guided by a "pilot" who transmits his control to the plane through the lines. Indoor Models Rate High Indoor models also rate high in the interest of the contestants? These models, which are very light, weighing but a fraction over a tenth of an ounce for a model of three foot wingspan, will be flown in the gigantic 180 foot cell- Weekly Temperatures 2D. E.

Lemcke is today seriously considering tendering his resignation as engineer of the Orange County Joint Outfall Sewer. A special meeting of the Sanitation Districts held last evening in Santa Ana to appoint a general manager and chief engineer failed. The JOS presented a strong recommendation that Lemcke be appointed to the post and that a firm of consulting engineers be employed. Three Favor Sanitation Districts 2, 3 and 11 comprising the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Brea, Placentia, La Habra and unincorporated areas of northern Orange county went on record as approving the recommendation. Favoring to defer action until the report of A. M. Rawn, general manager of the Los Angeles City’s Fireworks Displays Confined to Domestic Scene Anaheim police spent a relatively quiet Fourth of July weekend with most of the “fireworks” confined to the domestic scene. Local officers were called in on four domestic exhibitions all involving the papas of the households. First call was in front of the City Hall where an early celebrator was beating up his wife on Saturday night. On the next evening (Sunday) officers responded to a complaint of another papa breaking up the family's furniture. Upon arriving on the scene, the papa proceeded to smash another chair for the benefit of the law who had not witnessed the prior havoc. But the first actual fireworks came when Independence Day was just forty-five minutes old with a beaten daddy coming to the station reporting that his son was giving him the once over. Shortly after noon the cops, who were becoming weary of playing the role of domestic referees, entered on the scene where a father was giving his daughter a rough time. There were a few firecrackers exploded on the day set aside for sunburn and picnics. Shortly after midnight on the Fourth the Stables cafe reported a car making like Chicago bootleggers—passing the rear entrance and tossing explosives into the place. A gang of boys duplicated the feat by entertaining motorists at Palm and Center with the same sortof tactics—tossing the miniature bombs at passing cars. Other activity was confined to the four-legged variety with police receiving calls on a cat who wouldn't come out, a howling dog and a lost Shetland pony. Charge Congress Disregard Of Fruit Fly Peril Sacramento, (WNS)—Astonishing disregard of the peril U. S. Agriculture is facing in connection with the oriental fruit fly was charged to Congress by senator Fred Weybret of Salinas. He asked the California legislature to adopt a resolution calling the attention of Congress to the seriousness of the problem and the need for immediate federal aid to prevent the invasion of the oriental pest in the United States. The senator recently journeyed to the Hawaiian Islands, in company with assemblyman George Clarke of Planada and officials of the California Department of Agriculture, to investigate the widespread damage to agriculture being done by the fruit fly. Inspection Inadequate He reported that in excess of 1200 mainland airplane departures per month are being inspected monthly in the islands by 46 Northland Plymouth Model Plane Meet at Santa Ana This Weekend Headquarters for the Southern California Plymouth Plane Meet was moved to this city as final preparations were completed for the staging of the southlands largest plane competition at the Naval Air Station, Santa Ana, July 8-10.

Contestants will be shooting at a world mark of nearly 30 minutes in the indoor stick model event. A total of 31 events is scheduled for contestants in four age groups, novice, junior, senior, and open, with special awards set up for the best all around modelers of the meet. The top novice or junior, and the outstanding senior will be awarded $500.00 scholarships to accredited schools of their choice. Win Detroit Trip The best 15 contestants in the four contestant classes will be given expense paid trips to Detroit where they will compete in the Third International Model Plane Contest scheduled there later this year. In addition, 93 trophies will be awarded to winners of the 31 events. Two hundred southern California Plymouth dealers have joined forces to sponsor this event. Full information including a complete schedule of events is available at any Plymouth dealer. Formerly in Great Britain certain qualifications of rank of property were required of those who killed game. The senator recently journeyed to the Hawaiian Islands, in company with assemblyman George Clarke of Planada and officials of the California Department of Agriculture, to investigate the widespread damage to agriculture being done by the fruit fly. Inspection Inadequate He reported that in excess of 1200 mainland airplane departures per month are being inspected monthly in the islands by 46 U.S. agricultural agents attempting to cover eight airports on four different islands. He said only two cars were provided for the inspectors. "The cost of supplying adequate inspection, supplies and other facilities to control the pest in the islands and work towards stamping the fruit fly out would be negligible compared to the potential damages that could result if this pest gets a foothold in the mainland," Weybert declared. Elks Leave for National Confab Four affiliates of the Anaheim Elks Lodge No. 1345 will attend the national Elks convention to open Sunday, July 10, and continue through July 14, in Cleveland, Ohio, Warren Ashleigh, secretary-manager of the local lodge announced today.
