Anaheim Plant Will Market Frozen Concentrate Under Own Label By Gazette Farm Editor Real Gold Citrus Products—processing division of Mutual Orange Distributors—will market virtually its entire production of frozen concentrate juices and bases under its own label this year, Robbins Russel, general manager announced. The frozen concentrate bearing the Real Gold brand will also sport a "new look" about July 1—an attractive new label designed by the renowned artist, Raymond Loewy. None of the contracts offered by co-packers this year were considered beneficial enough to our growers for M.O.D. to take one, Russel said. Last year the organization—first cooperative in California to produce frozen concentrate—packaged a large portion of its production under the Minute Maid label. "But the contracts offered last year were far different from the producers standpoint than those being offered this year," the executive explained. Real Gold Citrus Products is now conducting advertising campaigns in test markets on a national basis. Russel said the R.G.C.P. firm this year was offered co-packer contracts by most of the major distributors of frozen concentrates. But in each case were turned down by cooperative as "disadvantageous." "We are unable to determine at this time just what our production will amount to in quantity due to last winter's freeze," Russel said adding that: "Only top quality fruit will go into the production of frozen concentrates." The R.G.C.P. plant at Anaheim is completing a half-million dollar expansion project that will enable the firm to double last year's production. Besides a new triple effect concentrator the expansion includes a new and ultra-modern laboratory, new loafing bins, sorting equipment and sterilization processes. NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1950 Huge Florida Citrus Deal to Be Felt Here Gazette Florida Bureau SPECIAL—In the greatest single transaction in the history of the Florida citrus industry, Clinton Foods, Inc., and its Snow Crop division will take over on September 1 full control of the gigantic and sprawling Pasco Packing assn., plant facilities at Dade City, Florida, and some 5200 acres of citrus groves. Snow Crop will now have a mary importance in the Florida citrus industry of about $30 million and this comes on top of a recent transaction which brought Juice Industries, Inc., of Dunedin, Florida under the Clinton banner. B. C. Skinner, founder of Juice Industries, and now vice-president of Clinton Foods will probably be in charge of the over all operation. Cash Deal Sources close to the Florida picture said that unlike the deal whereby Snow Crop took over Cash Deal Sources close to the Florida picture said that unlike the deal whereby Snow Crop took over other large processing operations this Pasco deal will be a straight cash transaction—with no exchange of stock involved. This move is of greatest interest to California growers because leaders in the industry both here and in Florida have not hesitated to state that this deal was of primary importance in the Florida growers effort to impart strength and stability to their whole citrus picture. Giant Pasco was conceded to be the "bad boy" of the processors until it joined with Mutual some time ago and in recent weeks had lowered its price on single-strength juice in 46-ounce to $3.15 a dozen—a figure that independent canners say will not stand up when Mutual's floor price of $2.50 a box is met. Snow Crop will retain its contractual relations with Mutual it was understood. Pasco received 19 million dollars of which 12 million was for groves and 7 million for the plant facilities at "book value." This deal will take out of the Florida citrus some of its most rugged individuals, principally J. Emmett Evans, erstwhile Winter Haven auto dealer, L. C. Edwards, his son Bill, who make up the "Triple-E" organization holding the grove property. These three, who are credited with giving the industry more trouble in past years than any other group, agree to not enter into the processing or marketing of citrus products "except in the state of Arizona" and the papers also provide they can produce citrus as growers.

Cadet Rifleman Wins NRA Medal WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alfred Earl Lattin, 16, of 1204 W. Pearl st., Anaheim, won the Distinguished Rifleman's Medal it was announced by the National Rifle Association here today. Young Lattin first took up the target sport two years ago. After a steady climb through the 14 lower rankings, he finally reached the top drawer of the junior shoot-or manufacturing it—and not by taking in laundry," according to Dr. A. M. Zarem in a down-to-earth talk given last night at the Community Planning Banquet. More than 350 persons from seven counties attended the affair which marked the high point of the city's week-long Civic Progress Week. Zarem, who is Director of the Los Angeles Division Stanford Research Institute dwelt on the need of industry for a sound economy and the problems which come with it. The speaker said that the two most talked subjects in the Southland were smog and canasta. He described smog as some stuff that cut off our view of the mountains and was regarded in the same light as someone throwing mud at Whistler's mother. Zarem declared, "there isn't anyone who even knows what it is, yet alone how to get rid of it." Said Zarem, "a cubic mile of air weighs 5 million tons. There are 3,000 square miles in Los Angeles county and if anyone thinks they're going to blow that much stuff away they're crazy." He likened smog to smoke in a room. You either quit smoking or leave the room. "California is going through the greatest voluntary migration since Biblical times. It has gone through an industrial growth in the past 20 years comparable to 200 years of growth in the East," he said. "We simply can not live off the tourist business," he said. Zarem advised the planners to take stock of what has happened to Los Angeles County and take heed—because the same thing is going to take place in the surrounding counties. Smog isn't something new to southern California, said Zarem. The first Spanish explorers described the "smokey water in San Pedro" and in 1868 L. A. was described as having "intolerable air." Although he could see no alternative but continued industrial growth if the economy of Southern California is to exist he declared flatly there is an alternative to the kind of industry and growth allowed. He put the proper selection of industry on the laps of the planners and said it was up to them to change the "was" to "is" in his subject title, "How Clean Was My Valley". Cadet Rifleman Wins NRA Medal WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alfred Earl Lattin, 16, of 1204 W. Pearl st., Anaheim, won the Distinguished Rifleman's Medal it was announced by the National Rifle Association here today. Young Lattin first took up the target sport two years ago: After a steady climb through the 14 lower rankings, he finally reached the top drawer of the junior shooters—the Distinguished Rifleman's Medal. Alfred is the son of Charles Frederick Lattin. He is a tenth grade student at the Anaheim Union high school, and is an active member of the California Cadet Corps Junior Rifle Club.

Placentia Mutual Wins Damage Suit Placentia Mutual Orange assn. yesterday won the first of two large damage suits filed against the Association as a result of a truck-auto crash on N. Tustin st., near Olive, last July 19, when an all-woman jury in Superior Judge K. E. Morrison's court denied the $260,000 claim of Don L. Winton driver of the auto, and Bertha L. Mooney, one of its passengers. Still to be tried is a suit for $66,-200, based on the same accident, filed by Albert M. Hawks, and his wife, Ethel, who were also passengers in Winton's car. Their complaint was filed only this week, after trial of the Winton and Mooney suit had begun. Chris DeSoto, driver of the Association truck, was named co-defendant with the Association in both actions. Defense of the Orange Association and DeSoto was that, although the truck had struck the rear of the Winton car, it was not a hard bump and no damage would have resulted had not Winton, an elderly driver, become excited and stepped on the throttle so suddenly that his car shot out of control and went into the ditch.
