Colony Quips All the smart boys are saying that this year's Valencia season will closely approximate in volume of fruit shipped and in return to growers that of last year. We all know that a lot of hay went to market last year and that the consumer did not like that kind of business. So after paying freight, packing and all the other incidentals the grower, many times, took a spanking. A person has to realize that our whole industry is set up and paid for by a retain on the boxes handled. That is the stuff that greases the wheels. Our shippers have to handle a lot of boxes to pay the overhead. So they all tried to put out as much fruit as they could. That, oftentimes, worked to the detriment of old uno, the grower. It was the contention of many that if much of that hay was kept off the market then the good fruit would have brought back some good money last year. Some are thinking now that the same thing will happen this year and if so then California citrus will have another black eye. In the field of frozen concentrate, however, an entirely different picture meets the eye. The stuff is selling for more money than last year. The market for it has hardly been scratched. Most important of all: the consumer likes it. The Florida grower is getting more money for his fruit than ever before, even including the war years. Orange County Republicans Hear Shattuck Tonight Young Republicans from throut Orange county will be on hand tonight at Fullerton's Y.W.C.A. hall, 321 North Pomona avenue, to hear Edward S. Shattuck, candidate for attorney general of California, who has expressed a firm determination to rid the state of organized and syndicated crime. The meeting will be held at 7:45 p.m., according to William Hay, president of the Young Republicans' Fullerton chapter and chairman of the meeting. Shattuck, who took out nomination papers from the Los Angeles Registrar of Voters last week, advocates a sweeping revitalization and reorganization of the attorney general's office as the only means of putting an end to the growing domination of mobsters and racketeers. New Ordinance Home Size Similar Ordinance Introduced Two emergency ordinances in certain sections of Anaheim these was approved by the Tuesday night, March 14. The ordinance, restrained by North, Cypress square feet of floor space, limits the area to single family residences. This ordinance was proved by the city council after second reading and became effective immediately. Prompted by the introduction of the first ordinance, the people in the area bounded by Santa Ana South, Citron and West streets circulated a petition calling for same provisions. The petition signed by 95 property owners in the area. All but about 12 property owners had signed the petition, according to Harry H CAB Reopens State Airline Controversy Civil Aeronautics Board granted Western Air Lines' petition last week for reopening of the so-called Additional California-Nevada Service case, dealing with air service between Los Angeles and Phoenix via San Diego, El Centro and Yuma. In taking this action, CAB rescinded the tentative authorization recently awarded to Southwest Airways to operate to Phoenix via numerous intermediate points. Western Air Lines had labeled "legally and morally wrong" this authorization, which had accompanied an order to Western to show cause why it should not suspend service to cities it had been serving for many years. "The board's prompt action in granting our petition for rehearing, reargument, and reconsideration of this case is strongly in the public's interest," said Terrell C. Drinkwater, president of Western Air Lines. "We look forward to the expeditious hearing ordered by the board and shall present the facts on the adequate air service public interest requires between southern California and Arizona, and vigorously press our application to serve Phoenix." CAB's earlier decision, now rescinded, would have amended Southwest Airways' certificate of public convenience and necessity so as to authorize it to operate between Los Angeles and Phoenix via Santa Ana, Laguna Beach, Oceanside, San Diego, Yuma and Ajo. In its petition for rehearing, Western Air Lines pointed out: 1) Southwest Airways had not sought a route between San Diego and Yuma. 2) Certificating Southwest between San Diego and Yuma would cost the taxpayer an additional Prompted by the introduction of the first ordinance, the people in the area bounded by Santa Ana South, Citron and West streets circulated a petition calling for same provisions. The petition signed by 95 property owners in the area. All but about 12 private owners had signed the petition, according to Harry H. spokesman for the area. These people could not be contacted, he said. A first reading of this ordinance was given by the council. It may be read again at the adjournment session scheduled for Tuesday March 21. Both ordinances represent emergency measures and will remain force until they can be reconciled in the light of more pertinent zoning information garnered from the forthcoming Whitnall report according to Mayor Charles Peterson. Protests were accorded to council's action by John H. Miles, representative of the Ketterer Engineering Co., 433 W. Center street and by Fred Pieper brink, local real estate man. Millet stated that in his estimation architectural design shows control the type of house rather than the amount of floor space. He referred to the 1100 square foot ordinance limitation. He indicated that veterans would not be able build in Anaheim, if restrictive continued to be based upon float space. Veterans can't afford the cost of the larger homes, he pointed out. City attorney, Preston Turner said that the city has a right to conserve property values and legally include sizes of homes in its zoning ordinances. The engineering representatives told the council that companies represents plan to build 156 homes in the southwest section of the city. Millet's direct business with the council regarded a final map or subdivision to be opened at southwest corner of Water and Citron streets by Melody Home Inc. The subdivision as planned would contain 28 houses, vary from 950 to 1050 square feet. In urging immediate approval the map, Millet pointed out that the state map act made it mandatory that the council approve final map within 10 days or at next regular meeting. (Continued from Page 2) Florida they were three years in the process. Here in California there are a great many leaders who still are afraid frozen concentrate will interfere with the sale of fresh fruit. But you know the answers to that one. It is interfering with the sale of fresh fruit. But who cares about that. Just who built up the whole industry? Just who pays all the bills and take what is left? It's the grower every time. We will place a little side bet that when that slack is taken up and a seller's market is thrust upon us that the grower will enjoy it. He might even be able to buy a few extra things for the wife and kids. That might not even hurt business. There is no dearth of things to talk about here in our city of Anaheim. Everyone seems to have a very definite opinion as to who should be elected to the city council, as to where a new school should be built, as to where an industrial plant should be invited to locate and how big a new house should be. Perhaps, in the not too distant future, the color scheme and landscaping program will be something for everyone to have a hand in. This could be carried on ac nauseum and no one's mind would be changed. There are, however, some things that should be considered with no heat and only with the cold light of reason. One of the biggest and most expensive is our sanitation program. It is something everyone in the area has to have and must help pay for. Without the extension of this program and an adequate water supply not only Anaheim but all of southern California would stop dead in its tracks. MRS. KOSER VISITS DAUGHTER Mrs. D. W. Koser of Santa Ana visited her daughter, Mrs. Ben Ter Beest, of Ball Road, on Monday. Southwest Airways' certificate of public convenience and necessity so as to authorize it to operate between Los Angeles and Phoenix via Santa Ana, Laguna Beach, Oceanside, San Diego, Yuma and Ajo. In its petition for rehearing, Western Air Lines pointed out: 1) Southwest Airways had not sought a route between San Diego and Yuma. 2) Certificating Southwest between San Diego and Yuma would cost the taxpayer an additional $230,000 to $300,000 a year in air-mail pay, which could be avoided by the CAB's granting Western's pending application to extend its San Diego-El Centro-Yuma route to Phoenix. 3) The board's action ignored Western's early attempts through numerous applications to bring to Imperial Valley and Arizona the full advantage of its 24 years of experience as America's oldest airline by failing to grant in entirety Western's applications, first made in 1940, to link Phoenix and San Diego via Yuma and El Centro. 4) Extending WAL's San Diego-Yuma route to Phoenix involves an increase of only 157 route miles whereas the CAB's tentative decision would require an increase of 456 miles to Southwest's system at a much higher rate of mail pay.

Hoskins stated that he wishes to thank all of his friends who so loyally helped put him in the race originally. "In my mind the welfare of Anaheim and solution of its manifold problems come first and foremost and are far more important than any one man's decision to run not. I feel that seven men in the race for the three seats on the council are just one too many and therefore have decided to withdraw. I hope my friends will see that this is a logical move on part and that I have reached the decision thinking only of the best interests of Anaheim," Hoskins commented. There is still a possibility that Hoskins' name will appear on the April 11 ballot even though he has withdrawn from the contest. "I wish to express my thanks for all the sincere work my friend." NEW ORDINANCE RESTRICTING HOME SIZE PASSES COUNCIL Similar Ordinance Petition Introduced by Another Group Two emergency ordinances restricting the size of homes certain sections of Anaheim were considered and one of them was approved by the city council at its regular session Friday night, March 14.

A large number of guests as well as Realt Council Makes Jefferson School Statement Statement by the Anaheim City Council about the proposed Thomas Jefferson school reads as follows: "We feel that the people of this community should understand definitively that school matters in the selection of a school site are wholly within the province of the Anaheim Elementary School Board. The City Council has no legal jurisdiction in the matter. "The City Council and the City Planning Commission have made it a point not to embarrass nor interfere with the School Board with any action or suggestion in the matter. And it was only when the School Board requested that the City Council make known its wishes that any action was taken. "Inasmuch as location of schools, churches and all public institutions also comes within the realm of planning, it was felt that help might be given in the matter of the selection of school site by one qualified through experience to discuss the matter and reach an intelligent conclusion. It therefore was suggested that action on the school location be deferred until the matter had been studied and report made by the Consultant, and routine action required by law in such matters be taken. "In order that there be no misunderstanding as to the reasons and methods of planning accomplishment, the City Planning Commission called a meeting, open to the public, at which a complete analysis of planning and its reasons and operations were discussed by the Planning Consultant, Mr. Whitnall. "In answer to a request from the School Board for early action, the Planning Consultant made a memorandum report of a study of the area in question. In due time such answer was forwarded to the City Planning Commission, which in turn was forwarded to the School Board. The recommendation of the memorandum report was to the effect that the property in question was not suitable for school purposes.

Coach Red Kress of the Solons will play his first team against the Cub aggregation. Kress indicated that Orval Grove, Bill Evans and Glenn Lierman would be on deck for mound duty. One of the most famous players in the history of baseball, Frisch is a member of the Hall of Fame boys whose deeds are recorded for posterity at Cooperstown, N.Y. After playing college ball at Fordham university, Frisch moved to the Giants at second base and stayed with them for eight years, playing in four world series. Roger Hornsby was exchanged for Frisch in 1926 with Frisch going to the St. Louis Cardinals, Frisch became manager of the team in 1933. The Cub manager tried a stint of broadcasting in radio upon leaving the Cardinals in 1939. He soon tired of this and took on the managership of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1940 at which job he remained until the end of the 1946 season. Once again it was radio that drew him away from the baseball scene. But after being signed as coach of the Giants Frisch retained the job until he was asked in mid-season of last year to pilot the Cubs.

This leaves six candidates to be conferred by the voters in the April 11 election.

The representatives desire to satisfy the upriver water interests that the conservation program, which expects to develop about 8000 acre feet of water annually—that is now wasted through transpiration—will not lower water levels of the region adjacent to the basin. Water interests upriver have been prepared to take court action to stop the program, if they decide their own interests in the Chino basin are endangered. The Chino water conservation district was formed for the purpose of taking protective steps. The Orange County Flood Control department is making its own engineering data available to other counties so they can check to their own satisfaction the effect of the proposed program. McFadden, who is flood control committeeman of the board of supervisors, and supervisor Willard Smith of Orange represent Orange county along with flood control engineer J. A.

Bradley, president of the organization. In disclosing this information Bradley asked the county to see to it that trail rights along the river be provided. He also asked that horsemen and hikers be provided with an underpass where any major artery happened to be constructed across the river. Making reference to the Santa Ana Freeway, Bradley stated that it would create a hazardous crossing for horsemen and their mounts.
