Colony Quips
By the slow process of "hunt and peck" some of the larger segments of the citrus industry show signs of at least becoming conscious of the mental attitude of their growers on improved ways of getting the Valencia crop into the hands of the consumer in such a way to return the California producer a profit. The attitude has been, and it has practically become a habit, to look askance at any grower who had the temerity to get up on his hind legs and say he had some definite ideas on just how our Valencias should be handled. In other words the grower was supposed to hold still and listen to the old "baloney" about the "greatest" the "most experienced" and all those other superlatives that were supposed to keep him sold and when the check came for his fruit he got the idea that the only thing he was sold was down the river. We are not trying to create the impression that the actual operation of our big marketing organizations was as bad as many people are thinking. Many sincere and capable men are doing everything in their power to actually market Valencias profitably to the grower. But we have tried to show that it is our considered opinion that California is behind the procession when it comes to an appreciation of the "miracle" (as Florida terms it) of fresh frozen concentrate. We have also tried to point out that there
Exchange Sends County Packing Houses $316,000
Checks totaling more than $316,000 have been mailed to packing houses in Orange county affiliated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange. This payment is the third advance payment on the 1948-49 pool of the Exchange Orange Products company and there will be a final payment within the next several months.
“This third advance payment to Exchange affiliates in Orange county has been made in keeping with our policy of paying out our products pools just as quickly as possible,” explains F. R. Wilcox, assistant general manager and treasurer of the Exchange.
$2½ Million
Exchange packing houses in Orange county have received more than $2½ million in advance products pool payments or in refunds from Fruit Growers Supply company and refunds on the marketing and advertising assessments of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The total also includes payments of over $284,-
tual operation of our big marketing organizations was as bad as many people are thinking. Many sincere and capable men are doing everything in their power to actually market Valencias profitably to the grower. But we have tried to show that it is our considered opinion that California is behind the procession when it comes to an appreciation of the "miracle" (as Florida terms it) of fresh frozen concentrate. We have also tried to point out that there are, at least, two schools of thought in the industry on this new product: those who have fruit that will make it and those whose fruit will not. On this problem we see very little room for compromise. Those whose fruit will not make the new product cannot hold back the growers whose fruit will make it because in so doing they hurt the whole California industry and simply give Florida the whole shebang. Much of the fight on our prorate set-up has revolved around the same question. The navel men have been accused of not shipping their whole potential and thus keeping on the eastern market late in the spring and making the profitable sale of the new Valencia crop much harder. All of our California problems seem sooner or later, to come to this impasse. It also presents a big, tough problem.
No one even remotely connected with the citrus business in California, and that means all of us can laugh off what Florida is doing for her growers with this new frozen product. By "doing for her growers" we mean a good chunk of money, three and one-half cents a pound on the tree today, and not feeding them a lot of "baloney" and trying to scare them with cost differentials. If the fruit is small and scarred or a little frozen then it should go directly to the plant and not be subjected to packing house charges. For the price being paid the grower in Florida we believe that even some growers of big fruit would be interested in sending them direct to the concentrate plant. We must get the idea that it might compete with our fresh fruit out of our heads simply because if we don't put the frozen concentrate on the market then someone else will. At any rate a survey has shown that fifty per cent of the new product is sold to people who did not buy from the citrus grower before they could get the fresh frozen concentrate. That should be enough for anybody. When anybody says that a big concentrate plant in California packs houses in Orange county have received more than $2½ million in advance products pool payments or in refunds from Fruit Growers Supply company and refunds on the marketing and advertising assessments of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The total also includes payments of over $284,000 from the Exchange Lemon Products company at Corona.
Covering the entire California-Arizona producing area, Exchange advance products payments and refunds for the past season totaled almost $10 million. Total advance payments on the Exchange Orange products company products pools have been over $3,750,000 to shippers affiliated with the Exchange throughout California and Arizona.

Probe Gambling Situation in Orange County
By GEORGE E. HART
Orange County Press Bureau
You are the one who has a lot to do with the gambling situation in Orange county, as you will learn a little farther down this column.
Whether the 1949 grand jury's closing report, which bluntly named for the first time in any public discussion of gambling in the county, was the voice of the entire grand jury—or not, as one or two members have been heard to mutter—is an interesting point in itself.
But more pertinent, in the opinion of most official quarters, is the question raised by the grand jury's probe of gambling, namely, what's the best legal way to polish off the gamblers? The first grand jury report on gambling, in particular, while it showed that Sheriff Jim Musick had run the slot machine fraternity out of business in his jurisdiction, questioned the absence of prosecutions of the operators.
The practice followed in this—and other—counties, is to seize and destroy the machines, but not prosecute the owners. The grand jury is understood to have wondered why the officials didn't do both—destroy the machines and as possible," explains F. R. Wilcox, assistant general manager and treasurer of the Exchange.

County Vet Group Starts 19th Year
Embarking on the 19th year of service to veterans and their families in case of dire emergency is the Orange County Veterans Welfare association, 225 North Broadway, Santa Ana.
From 250 to 300 cases a month are handled by this organization. These cases vary from medical and hospital, treatment, burials transportation, meals, employment assistance, and various other emergency needs.

the concentrate plant. We must get the idea that it might compete with our fresh fruit out of our heads simply because if we don't put the frozen concentrate on the market then someone else will. At any rate a survey has shown that fifty per cent of the new product is sold to people who did not buy from the citrus grower before they could get the fresh frozen concentrate. That should be enough for anybody. When anybody says that a big concentrate plant in California might become a "white elephant" just ask them what kind of an elephant the grower had to contend with when a lot of small, poor fruit was shipped east in the fresh form. If you think of that sort of elephant for a moment you will easily see that he would buy several "white elephant" plants. Granted that the sale of this new product will have to be prepared for some rough going before it is finally shaken down it still seems to us to be the best thing that has happened to the orange grower. We agree that it might be a little tough on some of our fine packing houses. But one has to remember that these houses were built by the growers money and that when they have served their usefulness they will have to go the way of all flesh. The situation is not as bad as that but it will bear watching. But every sort of marketing setup we have for citrus was designed to bring the grower back the maximum number of dollars for his fruit. In our mind that condition is number one. And number two is like unto it. To get this to all come to pass the grower is going to have to do a lot of shoving and shouting. It is right square up to him. Will he make himself heard. Or will he just listen? Most of them ought to be tired of listening by now.

Jurors Free Brown on Robbery Charge
Obie Henry Brown, Anaheim bootblack, was freed of a robbery charge Tuesday after a two-day jury trial in Superior Judge Raymond Thompson's court in Santa Ana. Deputy Dist. Atty. Willard R. Pool had moved for a dismissal of the charge after completing the state's case.
McAndress testified that he had been assaulted from the rear after he had gone outside the cafe. Brown had been seen picking up a pair of shoes belonging to the victim and returning them to him. The following morning McAndress learned he had been robbed.
Jurors who heard the case were: Russell R. Caldwell, Mildred Serven, Clarence R. Adams, Georgeena Allison, Ralph W. Babson, Vivienne W. Snow, Marie W. Clary, Harriet K. Boyd, Mildred M. Owen, E. Wayne Griggs, Sally M. Fuller and James C. Manning.
Embarking on the 19th year of service to veterans and their families in case of dire emergency is the Orange County Veterans Welfare association, 225 North Broadway, Santa Ana.
From 250 to 300 cases a month are handled by this organization. These cases vary from medical and hospital treatment, burials transportation, meals, employment assistance, and various other emergency needs.
James Kilroe, in charge of the office, especially pointed out that all veterans are eligible to receive aid, regardless of whether they belong to some veterans organization or not. Help is supplied where emergencies exist. And the help is not just financial. In some emergency cases help has to be provided before the necessary routine check-ups can be made. But that is the purpose of the organization. And they cooperate very closely with the county and state welfare organizations as well as the Red Cross, the United States employment service and other similar organizations throughout the county.
Agencies Work
The agencies who work with the Veterans Welfare association usually get the cases after the dire emergency is met. The medical profession, for example, works very closely with the association. Because of the nature of services of other agencies, it sometimes takes a matter of days before aid can be rendered, and it is during this period of time that the Veterans Welfare association goes into action, without benefit of fanfare or red tape, helping where help is really needed. Kilroe added that the chiselers can usually be spotted. After handling the number of cases that have gone through their office, they know as soon as they are called into the case whether it is worthy or not.

McFadden Tells Citrus Growers National Farm Program Is Political
The agricultural program in this county in the opinion of average farmer is synonymous with high support on basic commodities, according to A. J. McFadden, chairman of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives nationally-known authority on agriculture.
McFadden addressed a group of over 1,000 people at the annual Orange County Citrus Institute held Friday, February 17, in the Anaheim high school auditorium.
The agriculturist headed an array of speakers which included Lt. Gov. Goodwin Knight, W. K. McCracken, president of Tree-sweet Products Co., Santa Ana, Frank Wilcox, assistant manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, R. E. Puffer, Orange county farm advisor, and Dr. William Stewart of the Riverside Experiment station.
Calling the farm program a political problem, McFadden indicated that if citrus is to become

The mayor referred Brothers of Long Beach who commission to approve the plan of a 98-lot subdivision to developed at the southeast corner of North and Citron streets.
Small Houses
Present plans of the Long Beach firm call for construction of two three bedroom homes with 800 square feet and 1052 square feet of floor space respectively.
“This is not the type of house which has been built in this city and is not consistent with the surrounding neighborhood,” said the mayor. “Such situation will result in a major depreciation of property value.”
The agriculturalist headed an array of speakers which included Lt. Gov. Goodwin Knight, W. K. McCracken, president of Treesweet Products Co., Santa Ana, Frank Wilcox, assistant manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, R. E. Puffer, Orange county farm advisor, and Dr. William Stewart of the Riverside Experiment station.
Calling the farm program a political problem, McFadden indicated that, if citrus is to become a basic commodity, it must have support of at least 40 congressmen. "There aren't 40 congressmen in California. And those we have, have never been solidly behind anything," he said.
Resentment Growing
Resentment is growing among farmers in this country against government control, he continued. As a result the present farm program will end when the farmers' liking for the money they're getting is overcome.
McFadden told his audience that the current farm program is politically acceptable, but few farmers wish to go along with plans proposed by Secretary of Agriculture Brannon. "They're not in favor of the taxpayer having to pay the consumer's grocery bill," he said.
Speaking in the same vein, Lt. Gov. Knight expressed a desire "that the people in Washington could be made to realize that our crops here in California are mostly specialty crops." Knight compared private enterprise with the government's present "give-away" programs. He stressed the fact that only by means of heavy taxes can our government finance England's socialistic experiment for another year. "It's costing us close to $15,-000,000," Knight said.
McCracken directed his comments to the citrus growers in the auditorium and made several predictions.
Florida Competition
"It is up to the packing houses to sell the fruit intelligently, if the California citrus industry is to compete with Florida. They must also do this to hold the west coast market. Only sizes and grades of oranges which can command a price and can show a profit for the grower should be shipped fresh. In this way the market will not be weakened by low prices for sizes and grades of oranges which the consumer does not wish and will not buy," the Treesweet company president said.
Aloha Baker to Address Forum

Rev. Eifert Accepts Post In Laguna
Announcement that Rev. Lorenz E. Eifert has accepted a call from St. Paul's Lutheran church, in Laguna Beach was made in Sunday morning services in Zion Lutheran church.
Release of their pastor was granted in a special voter's meeting of the congregation last week.
"A wonderful spirit of unity and harmony prevailed at this congregational meeting, and this spirit helps materially to make the proper adjustment to a change in pastorate," Rev. Eifert said.
Born in Minnesota, Rev. Eifert graduated from Concordia seminary in St. Louis in 1936. He became assistant pastor of Zion Lutheran church, his first charge, on August 2, 1936.

The city planning commission has referred the plot plans to city engineering department for further study.
A total of five subdivisions providing for in excess of 300 hours were received by the planning commission in their monthly meeting. All were referred to city engineer's department for further study except the 103-hectare development of Ray W. Solomon who is planning to subdivide acres on the north side of Vermont street, east of East street.
Others received included that J. H. Millet of Kemmerer Engineering company who submitted a tentative plot plan for 27 acres at the southeast corner of Syrme more and Citron streets. This property recently considered by the Evangelical United Brethren church as a site for a new church building.
The subdividing plans of Burrows and the Anaheim Development company were sent back to the engineering department with the recommendation that attempt be made to coordinate their plans. The two properties are join—Burrows planning to construct 60 homes and the Development company 40.
Taken under study was the plan of David Corderman for the subdivision of the northeast corner La Palma and North West streets into 21 lots.

Cadets After State Title
The Cadet Rifle Team from Anaheim Union high school left at 7:40 this morning for Sacramento to meet the district winners from the rest of California schools.
Last year this same meet proved their "Waterloo," but this year they have high hopes rising from a recent tabulation of the Postal Rifle Association naming them, as well as the local girls team, as the top rating California team in their first month of firing. Included on the squad is T/Sgt. Alfred Lattin who reached the national firing score of 196 out of a possible 200 recently.
The squad members are: Cadets Lt. Col. William Burr, assistant commandant; Major Eddie Liptrapp; 1st Lt. Charles Kipp; 1st Lt. Pedro Verdin; 2nd Lt. Paul Rumfelt; Cpl. Philip Wright; Cpl. Fred McCoy; Sgt. Lyle Bass; 1st T/Sgt. Don Barnett; T/Sgt. Alfred Lattin; T/Sgt. Enoch Peterson Pvt. Gene Waldo.
They are accompanied by Major Ralph Comstock, commandant, and will return to Anaheim on Saturday.
National FFA Week Now In Progress
"The Future Farmers of America has become an important factor in the development of California," Governor Earl Warren said in a message to the people of California Tuesday, February 21.
The governor met with state FFA president Ralph Boyd of Lancaster to extend official recognition of California observance of National Future Farmer Week, February 21-27.
"I hope the people of our state will cooperate in every possible way with the Future Farmers of America to assist in the furtherance of its program," the governor said.
Airways Starts Service Here
Flight schedules for service at Santa Ana of Southwest Airway have been filed with the Citizen Aeronautics board and the post office department, it was announced Sunday.
All flights on the new route were land at the Orange County airport with service beginning March 2. Two flights in each direction will be maintained on Monday through Saturday once operations are being begun, local manager Malcolm Dickerman stated.
Southwest is a local feeder carrier and has been operating on the Pacific coast since December 1946.
The action of the aeronautical board, authorizing Southwest operate between Los Angeles and Phoenix via San Diego, Santa Ana and other intermediate points was declared "legally and morally" wrong by Western Airlines because Southwest had not sought a route between San Diego and Yuma.
Certification of Southwest for operation between San Diego and Yuma according to Western would cost the taxpayer an additional $300,000 per year in a mail pay.
The CAB has ordered Western to show cause why it should not suspend service to various cities which it has served for many years. Western has reported filed a petition with the CAB in Washington for rehearing and reconsideration of the case.

Mayor Fears Depreciation of Property Values in Northwest Section of City
Subdividers Propose Construction Of 300 Homes; Plans Under Study
Property values in the northwest section of the city are serious threat of depreciation if proposed subdivisions in the area are developed, according to Mayor Charles A. Johnson.
The mayor referred to the projected plans of Jones brothers of Long Beach who Monday asked the city planning mission to approve the plot of a 98-lot subdivision to be opened at the southeast corner north and Citron streets.
Small Houses
Present plans of the Long Beach call for construction of two three bedroom homes with square feet and 1052 square feet of floor space respectively.

Editors Near Wilcox on CitrusFuture
Fran Wilcox, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, spoke to the newspaper editors of Orange county on Tuesday evening at a Garden Grove restaurant on the current and future position of the California citrus industry. Wilcox traced the growth and development of the co-operative over the years, of the $50 million spent to establish the Sunkist trademark and stated that the selling job must continue.
In speaking of the importance of the industry to Orange county he stated that it brought over $25 million of new money into the county last year. Of this total almost $4 million was returned from canned or by-products sources. He also brought out the fact that due to the freeze this year approximately the same number of cars of fruit would be handled this year as last.
Same Tonnage
In the processing end of the business the heads of the industry estimate that about the same number of tons of fruit will go to the packing plants as did last year. This, he believes, will amount to from 35' to 45 per cent of the valencia crop. Last year all California plants processed some 490,000 tons and, Wilcox said: There is enough capacity in all plants to take care of the crop.
This year there will be from 2,300 to 2,500 tons of juice fruit to be processed each day and later in the year when the fruit is high enough in sugar content to make the new frozen concentrate the Exchange will be able to take some 600 tons a day at it's plant in Ontario, which has a total capacity of around 1,350 tons a day for all products, he stated.
Wilcox also pointed out that the California grower was faced with higher costs all along the line and so was forced to sell his product at a premium price to survive but that he had been able to do this because he was raising better fruit. In most years, he said, California had offered the consumer a better quality fruit with last year being one of the few exceptions.

C of C Hears Highway Plans For County
A resolution by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce transportation committee to make three recommendations to its board of directors was made at a meeting at the Elks club last week. The committee's action was influenced by Harold Sprenger, county highways engineers.
The committee listened to Sprenger's plan to make Orange-thrope avenue the major crossway highway of the county. Additional plans of the county to widen and pave Harbor boulevard and to widen Manchester avenue were explained. The new freeway plans are in a tentative stage, according to Sprenger.
The board was recommended by the committee to instruct Secretary-Manager E. W. Moeller to write the state highway department. Moeller is to discover what plans are being considered for improvement of Lincoln avenue from Anaheim to the Los Angeles county line.
Another recommendation instructed the chamber to contact Supervisor Ralph McFadden concerning the feasibility of connecting the Anaheim area and other southern communities with Brea Canyon by means of a road over Fullerton hills.
The chamber board was requested by the committee to ask the county highway department to study the possibility of extending Broadway through from East street to Anaheim-Olive road.

Brea Booms
"Off Season"
Citrus Trade
Despite juice oranges being "out of season," more cars of frozen orange juice concentrate and canned citrus juices are now being shipped daily from Brea. This tops the peak of the season last summer and fall, Edwin G. Hart, Jr., manager of Hart's Fruit Products, disclosed Tuesday.
Heaters are placed in refrigerator car ice bunkers to keep the canned juice from freezing. "Almost a car a day is going to Canada," Hart reported. "Some of the cars contain frozen concentrate which is finding a big reception there," he continued.
The Brea plant is running "around the clock" to fill its backlog of orders, and has enlisted the aid of several other Orange county plants. Starting next week, it will step up its frozen concentrate production and will actively compete against Florida in the eastern as well as the Pacific coast markets.
Watch for Counterfeit $10
Two counterfeit $10 bills were passed in Anaheim last week, according to Lt. Thomas Taylor, investigator for Anaheim police department. The bills were so good that an Anaheim bank accepted them and the discovery was not made until they reached the Los Angeles clearing house.
Both bills bear the serial number 167759115E and merchants were asked to post this number near cash registers for checking purposes.
