Colony Quips Spring is here and the great festival of Easter comes next Sunday. For the Christian world there is no time more challenging, no time more suitable for rededication of the spirit and no time better for bowing that stiff neck in humbleness before Almighty God. The heritage given us by Jesus Christ, which made the strongest impression upon the human mind of which we know, is priceless. The Kingdom of God is in you. In My Father's house there are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. You shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and love thy neighbor as thyself, and on these two things hang all the law and all the Prophets. If the average man will give only a little thought to the profound philosophy bound up in these few utterances—and live that way—then most of our problems are solved. There is little use looking at the record. We all know that little progress is with your own self and it all comes down to a personal, internal job. People do not like to be made to think, so the individual has to do the job—on himself. Truly that may not be enough to help the world very much. But it certainly would be a start. Easter is a good time to start. When is an orange not an orange? When it brings red ink to the grower. In past years our citrus crop was marketed on the basis that one orange of a certain size and appearance was worth just as When is an orange not an orange? When it brings red ink to the grower. In past years our citrus crop was marketed on the basis that one orange of a certain size and appearance was worth just as much as another one of the same size and appearance. In recent years, with the advent of frozen concentrate, the industry has come to the realization that this was not the case. A new term has come into the picture that has changed the whole picture. That term is "soluble solid" and it describes the internal quality of the fruit. It pegs the taste, edibility, desirability or whatever you choose to call the thing that makes the consumer enjoy eating the orange or drinking the juice from it. It makes for repeat business for the grower. When the smiling housewife puts down her hard money for a beautiful, golden orange and then gets home only to find that the taste is sour and unpalatable she just decides that next time the apple or some other grower will get her money. But when she buys a can of frozen concentrate and finds that together with the elimination of all the muss and fuss of reaming and getting rid of the peel her family goes for it and asks for more than the old orange grower has another steady customer. When you consider that the next can of the concentrate tastes just like the first one (or should) then you really have a repeating trade built up. If we here in California do not have enough business sense and know-how to compete in the open market with Florida then we had better look for some new leadership or force our top flight brass to take a strong position of leadership instead of feeding us those old platitudes that worked in the past but won't go down our throats in this day and age. Our whole sales program must be tuned to modern merchandising and more particularly to the wants of the consumer. These things must be done if the grower is going to be taken care of in the proper manner. Heretofore he has been the last man on the list and from what we hear he does not like his position. There is a seething unrest rampant among that usually docile group and in not too long a Line-Up for Primary Set For County Five of 13 county offices will be contested in the June 6 primary election, two of three supervisorial seats at stake will have races, all state and national legislative offices will be contested, and a swarm of candidates are after five justice of the peace seats and six of the 11 constable offices. That's the line-up shown as the candidate filing period ended March 31. At the county level are the following contests: Sheriff James A. Musick opposed by R. I. "Cuba" Morris of the California highway patrol, Costa Mesa; District Attorney James L. Davis, opposed by City Attorney John Colwell of Santa Ana; Assessor Maurice F. Enderle opposed by Arthur Anderson, former deputy, and Collis 9. Sutherland, Santa S Ana; Tax Collector Don S. Mozley opposed by Roger S. Watson, Costa Mesa; County School Superintendent Linton Simmons opposed by John H. McCoy, former director of Santa Ana college and assistant to the president of Occidental college.

In the fifth district, four candidates, Heinz Kaiser, Newport Beach, R. W. Bartine, Costa Mesa, Glen Cave, Tustin, and Charles Petticord, Laguna canyon, are seeking the post left vacant by Superior Irvin George Gordon. Chairman Willis Warner, in the second district, is unopposed. The first and third districts are not on the ballot this year. County officials unopposed are: Auditor L. H. Eckel, Coroner Earl R.

C., in a public gathering April 11 in Fullerton was announced today by Allen of Santa Ana, his campaign chairman for Orange county. Congressman Phillips has scheduled a speaking engagement at Fullerton's Wilshire grammar school auditorium, North Harve street at 8 p.m. The speaking program has planned by the Phillips-for-Congress committee in cooperation with the volunteer organization Pro-American Council of Republican Women, Young Republics, the Republican Assembly and County Central Committee.

His experiences as a member Award Contract For Freeway Thru Anaheim Contract for the construction of the Santa Ana Freeway from Euclid avenue to the "Y" intersection with Highway 101 was awarded to the Griffith company of Los Angeles on its bid of $308,000. The project as announced is to widen the present three lanes to four lanes, divided, with construction of outer highways. Contracts for the freeway have now been let from the Los Angeles county line almost to Santa Ana. Improvements do not include underpasses and overpasses. Legion Sponsors 'Go-to-Church' Movement Here Anaheim's American Legion Post 72, this week began a campaign urging all residents of the city to attend the church of their choice. The "go-to-church" movement is an interfaith project inspired by a feeling among veterans that many Americans have become separated from their churches. Dr. P. S. Arnold, commander of the Anaheim post, announced that committees will be appointed to work with ministers and religious, civic and fraternal groups of the city to carry the project to all of the residents of Anaheim. Plans include a series of lectures, public meetings, screen trailers, newspaper advertising and issuance of "go-to-church" stamps similar to the annual Christmas seal stamps. The stamps are being circulated free of charge to the various cooperating organizations and to individuals for use in their correspondence.

Break Ground at Site of New Church Easter Sunday Ground-breaking ceremonies at the site of the new $177,-800 Presbyterian church on West Broadway will take place Break Ground at Site of New Church Easter Sunday Ground-breaking ceremonies at the site of the new $177,-800 Presbyterian church on West Broadway will take place Easter Sunday morning at 10:10 a.m. Mayor Charles A. Pearson will extend greetings on behalf of the people of Anaheim; Warren Ashleigh, president of the Chamber of Commerce for the commercial interests of the city and A J. Casebeer, pastor of the Church of Christ representing the churches of Anaheim. First Spade Ground-breaking will take place at the site of the new sanctuary with Harry M. Peterson, chairman of the Building Executive Committee turning over the first spade of ground. He will be followed in the ceremony by Charles H. Holiday, chairman of the Board of Trustees; Oscar H. Renner, senior member of the church present and Frank N. Gibbs, senior elder present. Dr. Glenn W. Moore, executive secretary of the Synod of California of the Presbyterian church, U. S. A. will deliver the main address at the ceremony. His topic will be "The Church and Tomorrow." The call to praise, the prayer of dedication and the benediction will be delivered by the pastor of the Presbyterian church, the Rev. Howard S. Congdon. At the conclusion of the dedication service, the members of the building council, session, Board of Trustees and friends of the church will be invited to turn a spade-full of earth in preparation for the immediate construction of the Sanctuary. Architect G. Stanley Wilson of Riverside and Frank Pinkerton, general contractor, Corona, will also be present for the event. Construction is slated to get underway Monday, April 10. County Closes Welfare Offices Withdrawal of the county welfare department this week from the state welfare building on South Main street, Santa Ana, presented the state with a $30,000 "white elephant" that will cost between $1400 and $1500 a month to maintain, it was disclosed. The big building, standing as a momento of Myrtle Williams and Proposition No. 4, is loaded with a five-year lease which Mrs. Williams, as state welfare director under Proposition 4, obtained at a rental of $945 per month. In addition to that cost are the utilities that will boost the monthly cost above $1400, if and when the building is in use. Just now it isn't in use. Equipped with $30,000 worth of office equipment, it is standing idle. And competent observers say that the state may have some trouble in interesting a tenant. There is a lot of room inside, some 9000 square feet of it, but none outside for parking, which these days limits prospective occupancy. The 10 brand new Chevrolets that Mrs. Williams purchased on behalf of state taxpayers for use or state welfare crew that no longer exists, may or may not be standing idle. Nobody knows where they went. They were never used here.

Construction Agreements For County Sanitation To Be Ready April 26 Completion of agreements for the purchase of the Joint Outfall Sewer System; sale of the $8 million sanitation bonds and construction of the proposed works by the Orange County Sanitation Districts by April 26 was announced by Nelson Launer, administrative officer at a breakfast meeting of the Anaheim Realty Board held Wednesday morning in the Mother Colony House restaurant. Launer, who is also general manager of the Joint Outfall Sewer system, said that at present his proclamation follows: "WHEREAS, the City of Anaheim is one of the naturally beautiful cities of Orange County, and has the reputation of being one of California's most attractive communities, and "WHEREAS, this reputation is one of which we are all justly proud and wish to maintain; and "WHEREAS, the Orange County League of Cities has endorsed the project of the Civic Beautification Committee for a county-wide beautification program and has urged all cities in Orange County to cooperate with the Committee and the Board of Supervisors to make the project a success; "NOW, THEREFORE, I, CHARLES A. PEARSON, Mayor of the City of Anaheim, do hereby proclaim the period from April 3, 1950, to May 12, 1950, as CLEAN-UP, PAINT-UP, FIX-UP, PLANT-UP TIME in the City of Anaheim, and urge each citizen, each industrial and business enterprise to take an active part in this drive for a cleaner and more beautiful community, by beautifying his own premises and neighborhood. "Dated this 4th day of April, 1950. (Signed) CHAS. A. PEARSON, Mayor of the City of Anaheim. (SEAL) VISITORS IN TER BEEST HOME Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Thompson of 15010 Lakewood boulevard, were guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben-Ter Beest last Sunday afternoon." To Be Ready April 26 Completion of agreements for the purchase of the Joint Outfall Sewer System; sale of the $8 million sanitation bonds and construction of the proposed works by the Orange County Sanitation Districts by April 26 was announced by Nelson Launer, administrative officer at a breakfast meeting of the Anaheim Realty Board held Wednesday morning in the Mother Colony House restaurant. Launer, who is also general manager of the Joint Outfall Sewer system, said that at present his office is setting up an accounting system and has its engineers preparing the ownership rights of the various districts in the new countywide sanitation set-up. He stressed the complexity of setting-up the machinery for the operation of the program and the need in dollars and cents for an organization that will work without hitches. A key figure in sanitation in this county, he said that adequate sewage disposal is a "must" if this city and the county are to exist and progress. Programs of the Joint Outfall Sewer in expanding its facilities were delayed in anticipation of the establishment of a county-wide program. Due to controversy it is now necessary for the JOS to proceed with construction of the $2½ million Magnolia trunk sewer and a new $100,000 digester at the treatment plant, according to Launer. New Digester The digester will be completed in time to handle the increased summer industrial load from the citrus juice and by-products plants. Without this expansion these plants of which the majority are located in Anaheim, would have had to curtail operations resulting in a drop in employment, the sanitation chief said. Bonds for the Magnolia trunk sewer should be up for approval by the taxpayers of the JOS in June, he said. This trunk will eliminate a critical emergency that had threatened to halt all progress in northern Orange county. Both projects, although financed by the JOS, will be eventually paid for from the funds authorized by the sanitation bonds voted in February 1949. Praises Boney In explaining the work of the JOS, Launer complimented Anaheim for the representation it has had from Robert H. Boney who is general chairman of the Joint Outfall Sewer and director of District 2 of the sanitation districts. "Largely through his efforts your city and the county have saved thousands of dollars in chlorination costs and will be assured of a working county-wide program," declared Launer. In explaining the savings in chlorination, he told of how this item cost the county as high as $640 per day but through Boney and the JOS the State Health Department revised its too rigid requirements resulting in a savings of many thousands of dollars. Possible reclamation of sewage water is being carefully studied in cooperation with the state and county agricultural organizations, he said. The meeting was presided over by Bert Arnold, president of the Anaheim Realty Board.
