Colony Quips The Florida citrus industry makes page one, upper right, in the March 6 issue of the Wall Street Journal. If you have not seen the article it starts out like this: "A golden shower is falling from orange trees into the pockets of Florida growers. Producers are reaping the highest prices in more than thirty years. They're getting an average 'on the tree' price of $3.00 a box." Remember that this figure is the average of all varieties and you know that some of that Florida fruit is pretty sour in more ways than one. California growers would like to get some of that same kind of publicity in the Wall Street sheet because most bankers are supposed to read it and make their commitments accordingly. We realize that, perhaps, some of this prosperity is no doubt due to our successive freezes and the resultant cut in our output. But that curtailment did not make the per box figure very sweet to California last year and without an overhauling of our methods of getting the fruit in the consumers hands there probably will not be too big a jingle this year, but we can hope on that one. The Wall Street Journal then asks some questions: "Why the Boom? What's behind this striking prosperity in an industry plagued for many years by chronic over-production and low prices?" Then it goes on to the answer and we in California are still far from a full realization: "More than anything else, it's the frozen juice boom. Having started from scratch Supervisors Oppose Delay Of Air Service Action opposing further extension of the date, March 31, set for instituting the passenger air service to Orange county by the Southwest Air Lines, was taken by the county supervisors Tuesday in the form of a resolution addressed to the Civil Aeronautics board in Washington. The C.A.B. approved Southwest Airlines application to set up the air passenger service, with a stop at Orange county airport on a route from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona, and set last September 17 as the date for commencing the service. Western Air Lines, operating over the same route, via San Diego, filed protest with C.A.B. against the Southwest application, so this postponed the starting date to March 1 to permit Western Air Lines to file formal objections. The objections were filed just before March 1. CAB postponed the starting date again to March 31 in order to study the objections. Decision Tonight For New Scratch Whitnall and I Send Letter to The Board of Trustees schools will meet in the Frenzy to settle the issue concerning new Thomas Jefferson school. The last 30-day delay requested by the board to permit Whitnall, city planning consultant, Yesterday a letter was received from the Anaheim City Planning Commission and Whitnall. It was addressed to the Board of Trustees and signed E. P. Hapgood secretary, by R. W. Mungall, city engineer. Herb Stabbert, chairman and president of the Board, who received the communication state that he would meet today with John Mary, Jr., school board clerk and Tom Henry, trustee, in the office of the school board supervisor M. A. Gauer. Together they would go over the contents of the letter. Final analysis will probably be considered in the trustees' decision this evening. The Wall Street Journal then asks some questions: "Why the Boom? What's behind this striking prosperity in an industry plagued for many years by chronic over-production and low prices?" Then it goes on to the answer and we in California are still far from a full realization: "More than anything else, it's the frozen juice boom. Having started from scratch just five years ago producers of the cold concentrate are absorbing one-third of Florida orange crop ... The minimums established last fall. however, have long been topped by steadily mounting bids from competing canners, fresh fruit packers and concentrate men. The Florida citrus commission, a state agency, has launched a national sales promotion campaign, splashing ads in newspapers and magazines around the country. New "faste test" citrus laws, requiring riper and better quality fresh fruit, have kept many oranges off the market ... Few industries have mushroomed so rapidly as the citrus concentrate. The explanation is simple: Consumers like the product." Remember these are not the incoherent ramblings of the conductor of this colyum but are taken from the front page of the Wall Street Journal. To continue: "Take a look at the short but sensational history of frozen orange juice. The first commercial pack, put up in the '45-'46 season, totaled 225,000 gallons. By last year the figure had soared to 10 million gallons and this season some 25 million are expected ... Just before it reaches your breakfast table, the concentrate is diluted with three parts of water from the kitchen faucet. That means Americans quaff some 100 million gallons this year ... Retail prices throughout the country average 30 cents (per 6 ounce can) ... In some New York chain stores you can buy a package for 27 cents, but that is up 2 cents from the year-ago level. This price rise surprised many in the industry; they thought rising output might force a price cut this year." We have been hearing a lot about this "price cut" out here in California too, haven't we? But the consumer now pays 2 cents more per can than last year. Our "news releases" from big packers make no mention of this situation but instead are on the lookout for some store which might use the new product for a leader. This is the wrong approach as we see it. Western Air Lines, operating over the same route, via San Diego, filed protest with C.A.B. against the Southwest application, so this postponed the starting date to March 1 to permit Western Air Lines to file formal objections. The objections were filed just before March 1. CAB postponed the starting date again to March 31 in order to study the objections. T. R. Mitchell, vice-president of Southwest Air Lines, appeared before the county supervisors Tuesday, March 7 to plead the case of his company and the interest of Orange county in obtaining the service. Mitchell said that Western Air Lines is not interested in giving local service as no line can engage successfully in short haul traffic and compete with a line operating non-stop traffic. Western is engaged in non-stop service, competing with other similar lines, he said. Southwest Air Lines, on the other hand, is engaged only in serving local stops, and acts as a feeder line to the non-stop lines, according to Mitchell. Drill Six New Oil Wells in Orange County Six new oil wells will be drilled in Orange county, according to the Department of Natural Resources report covering the week ending February 25. Forty-five notices for drilling of new wells were filed for this period, while the previous week's total registration was 22. Companies drilling new wells in the county are: A. H. Bradford, Richfield No. 1, Richfield; Shell Oil Co., Rowland No. B-1, Brea-Olinda; Bartholomoe Corp., Stern No. 20, West Coyote; Standard Oil Co., Kraemer 2 No. 40, Richfield and Southwest Exploration Co., State Nos. A-16 and 98, Huntington Beach. Fifteen locations were abandoned, including Richfield Oil Corp.'s Peralta Hills No. 1, Orange county. New wells in the state so far this year total 258. There were 210 more than this number for this date last year. Herb Stabbert, chairman and president of the Board, who received the communication states that he would meet today with John Mary, Jr., school board clerk and Tom Henry, trustee, in the office of the school board supervisor M. A. Gauer. Together they would go over the contents of the letter. Final analysis will probably be considered in the trustees' decision this evening. Work Session Tuesday afternoon, March 7, the planning consultant had met with the City Planning Commission in a work session. An attempt was made to iron out details of the proposed zoning ordinance. Location of the new school has become a bone of contention among those who favor industrialization of this southeastern city area which rests between the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail lines and those who favor retaining the residential classification of the tract. The decision will affect the future planning of the city in industrial and residential zones. Purchase of the site was made by the State of California Division of Schoolhouse Planning, the Anaheim Planning Commission, Citrus Eastern Freight Rates Cut $750,000 A reduction of more than $750,000 in the annual freight bill to the California-Arizona citrus industry effective April 7 has been agreed to by the railroads, it will announce jointly today by the California Fruit Growers Exchange and the Mutual Orange Distributors. The saving will result from the cut in citrus freight rates in the territory east of Chicago. The announcement released by F. R. Wilcox, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, and Rob Russell, general manager of Mutual Orange Distributors, is follows: Welcome News “This is indeed welcome news to the citrus industry.

Screening of industry by the City Planning Commission might solve difficulties in locating residential and industrial zones, he added.

He pointed out that 7,400 carloads were carried for 22 shippers in this area in 1949. The trains operating over this branch of the SP plied a lucrative trade that the company didn't care to lose. C.
