Colony Quips The November election has been called for a few other things than just the eradication of some bad spots in our new pension law. Although this action seems to be uppermost in all peoples minds and there is little question that a cleaning up would better the position of those needing pensions and those paying them, the fact remains that some consideration should be given to Proposition No. 3 which is titled "Legislative Sessions and Legislative Pay." We have just gone through a rash of stories and investigations on the lobbying practices in Sacramento and most people are inclined to raise their hands in holy horror when the word lobbyist is mentioned. They forgot that almost everyone whether he works for wages, runs his own business, or has anything to do with any sort of organization is helping to pay for the service of a 'representative' in the legislative halls of California. After a few seconds of sober reflection it also becomes apparent that our members of the legislature are grossly underpaid and that there is no limit on the time they put in to earn that $100 a month and that every two years for the Assembly and every four years for the Senate they also have to put on an expensive campaign if they want to keep their office. At tremendous personal sacrifice they make personal appearances and talks at every whistle stop you can think of. To many of them, let Overseas Xmas Mail Deadline Is November 15 Christmas parcels to members of the armed forces serving outside the continental United States should be mailed during the period, October 15 to November 15, it has tober 15 to November 15, it has been announced by Louis Hoskins, Anaheim post master. Post officials have stressed the importance of mailing Christmas packages early—the earlier the better. Parcels destined for delivery in Japan, Korea and the islands in the Pacific should be mailed as early as possible, preferably not later than November 1, in view of the distances involved, according to postal authorities. Holiday mail to Navy and Marine Corps personnel serving in the most remote areas should be mailed not later than October 15. Christmas cards may be mailed at any time but to assure delivery should be on their way prior to November 15. Senders are warned that all greetig cards destinied for overseas delivery must carry full er reflection it also becomes apparent that our members of the legislature are grossly underpaid and that there is no limit on the time they put in to earn that $100 a month and that every two years for the Assembly and every four years for the Senate they also have to put on an expensive campaign if they want to keep their office. At tremendous personal sacrifice they make personal appearances and talks at every whistle stop you can think of. To many of them, let it be said, this is not a chore but a genuine pleasure. But it still takes time, work and effort. Since 1947 the legislature has been meeting every year instead of every other year as before. It was intended to make the odd numbered years general in character while the sessions in even numbered years were to handle the budget. The law was so loosely drawn that the tendency has been to handle each one in a general vein. Proposition No. 3 would impose stricter limitations and hardly anyone will argue that the state budget is such a small thing that it can be tossed off in a hurry. This proposition would also limit the length the legislature is in session. There is no limit at present. The general session could take no longer than 120 days and the budget meeting would be limited to thirty days. These are constructive and necessary reforms. There are other limitations on the time each legislator can spend on interim committees and receive reimbursement for expenses. The most important feature of Proposition No. 3, to our mind, is the increase in salary it provides. Since 1924 the rate of pay has Leen $100 a month and this is out of all proportion to the job and the man the job is seeking. It is too great a sacrifice for the man with a family to seek election to the California legislature. The proposal is to increase this salary to $300 a month which is a reasonable figure to our way of thinking. We are now the third largest state in the union and may soon be the second largest and yet we pay our legislators $2400 a year against $5000 paid by New York, Illinois, Massachusetts; $4000 paid by Ohio and $3000 by Missouri and Pennsylvania. We lag too far behind and the corrective measure is at hand; vote YES on Proposition No. 3. For many years the philosophy of the California citrus industry has been to market only the top of the crop in the eastern markets. This has led to a reputation for our fruit that stands or stood as Goodwill Tour To Mexico City Forrest P. Barrett, education director of Pan-American Airwave will conduct the Orange County Goodwill Tour to Mexico City December 2, it was announced today. The air cruise, arranged by Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county, will leave Los Angeles International airport at 9:15 p.m. on the December date aboard a DC-4 of Compaq Mexicana de Aviacion, an affiliate of Pan-American. Reservations for the tour, tablished exclusively for Orange county residents, are now available at three county agencies—World Travel Service and Ju Ann Hyde Travel service of San Ana and the Lambourne Traffic Service of Laguna Beach. County Petitions City To Annex Its Agricultural Offices on Harbor Orange county has petitioned the city of Anaheim annex its county agricultural office property at 9846 Harboulevard. The petition was referred to City Attorney Prest Turner at Tuesday evening's city council meeting. Formerly a research laboratory of the Union Oil company, the property consists of building and twelve acres of land. It was just recently taken over by the Orange County Department of Agriculture. Activities which are centered these offices include the supervision of plant quarantine, fruit nut stabilization, apiary inspection and inspection of incoming freight. Located there is an insect where beneficial insects are present and planted and an entomology laboratory where insect specimens are identified. In charge of the offices is Delson W. Tubbs, county agriculture commissioner. Annexation Other annexation proceeding considered at the meeting included the reading of ordinance 749, nexing property along West Palma, effective in thirty days. A public hearing was set for November 9 on the proposed Machester No. 2 annexation which includes a strip of property on For many years the philosophy of the California citrus industry has been to market only the top of the crop in the eastern markets. This has led to a reputation for our fruit that stands or stood as testimony to our successful grove practices and intelligent marketing techniques. We have been able to point with pride to our fine fruit and scorn to the fruit of poor color, quality and taste sent in from Florida. This year the picture has been a wee bit different. Many reports from consumers in the east have been to the effect that the California fruit was very poor both in taste and quality. Frankly many simply bought 'hay' and did not like it a bit. Would you? So, at least part of our reputation fell by the wayside. Now, on the other hand, there was a trickle of a new product from Florida in the market. It was a new frozen orange concentrate. It met with instant acceptance. The only trouble with it was there was not enough to go around. But there was enough to outsell the two highest selling frozen food products put together. The punch line to us in California is what this sort of product did in the way of return to the grower. We agree that the figures are sort of hard to believe. We agree that there are a good many in the industry that do not like to think about what the impact of this new frozen concentrate will do to the fresh fruit industry. But it will do plenty for the grower. It did $70 a ton, on the tree, for the Florida grower this year. That should be good enough to look into, at least. Putting your head down in the sand is not going to stop it. "Strenuously Fought" "The entire California industry has strenuously fought any reduction in the lemon tariff and has presented complete evidence of the damage to one of California's leading agricultural industries if the tariff was reduced," states F. R. Wilcox. "We will continue by all means at our command to fight this drastic revision." California lemon growers must receive an average of $6.35 per packed box delivered in New York to break even. Under the proposed new tariff, Italian lemons can be delivered in the same city for $4.35 per box. The new tariff schedule will not go into effect until after January 1. In the meantime California-Arizona representatives will do everything possible to have the tariff kept at its present level. Other citrus products feeling the effect of the tariff cut are lemon oil and peel and orange peel. Hot Springs National park, in Arkansas, has an area of 1,619.13 acres. In charge of the offices is Dixon W. Tubbs, county agriculture commissioner. Annexation Other annexation proceeding considered at the meeting included the reading of ordinance 749, nexing property along West Palma, effective in thirty days. A public hearing was set for November 9 on the proposed Malchester No. 2 annexation which includes a strip of property on west side of Manchester, north Lincoln. Transfer of the federal government's control and interest in veterans housing project on E. La Palma was completed with adopting of a resolution. Transfer was provided by congressional action. It is expected that the city will buy out state's interest in the homes, giving them complete control of the project. Wilhelmina Street Wilhelmina street, east of Olive will probably be widened to two lanes with the acceptance of property Tuesday. The council granted three vances—one to E. C. Heinze, 11 West Center, giving him permission to convert a play room onto a tile shop into two single family apartments; another to Donald Frisbee, to construct a ranch-style building to be used for the sale square-dance supplies at North Palm and the final to Maltha D. Deutsch, 817 North Bina to convert two rooms into housekeeping apartments. Balance in the general fund October 1 was $88,195.10; total balance all funds was $227,245.77 according to A. G. Tumas, city treasurer. Total warrants issued during October, to date totaled $55,134.12. The first zoological garden in the United States was established in Philadelphia in 1874.
