VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper New City Census Figure Sets Population at 14,522 The city of Anaheim's population is 14,522. The 14,522 total gives the city of Anaheim a 32 per cent gain over the official 1940 census count of 11,031. It generally reflects the trend of rapid growth evidenced throughout the county. The corrected report was received this morning from Ray Adkinson, head of the 20th California Census district office at Riverside. Based on more exact tabulations, the number supplants a preliminary estimate of 13,500 released several weeks ago. The figure was verified later this morning by a call from Mayor Charles Pearson. Final tabulations on populations of surrounding communities also were released by Adkinson today. The Bureau gives the unincorporated areas of Buena Park a total Akinson, head of the 20th California Census district office at Riverside. Based on more exact tabulations, the number supplants a preliminary estimate of 13,500 released several weeks ago. The figure was verified later this morning by a call from Mayor Charles Pearson. Final tabulations on populations of surrounding communities also were released by Adkinson today. The Bureau gives the unincorporated areas of Buena Park a total of 5464; Cypress, 1321; Garden Grove, 3769, and Stanton, 1762. 42,311 In Township Total township figure comes to 42,311; a substantial increase over the 26,097 figure of 1940. Orange county population, estimated by the bureau at 200,000 in the preliminary estimate, was given a final figure of 214,061. This represents a 64 per cent increase over the official 1940 count of 130,760. Count for the total 'district—the congressional district, which includes Imperial, Riverside and Orange counties—was given as 445,-532. Adkinson did not say whether the original Anaheim estimate was short because of inadequate tabulation or late additions. Since the Gazette's recent survey showed few Anaheim residents still uncounted, however, it appears likely the error lay primarily in the preliminary Census Bureau estimate; based only on inconclusive samplings of the actual count. (Editor's note: In all fairness to Mr. Adkinson and his crew of enumerators, it should be placed in the record that for several weeks newspapers throughout the district were putting steady heat on him to release figures. In his effort to cooperate, Mr. Adkinson put out the preliminary figure based on a "sampling" of the count. Free of the harassment of newspapers, Mr. Adkinson's office apparently was able to settle down and give the figures a better going over.) The latest census figure for Anaheim closely coincides with an estimate given the Gazette several days ago by E. W. Moeller, Chamber of Commerce manager. It is well to remember at this point that the latest population figure is NOT official. The official report will be released from Washington after the close of the year. At that time it is certain that the population of Anaheim will show a higher figure than the 14,522 reported today. However, it is not expected to change materially. Henry H.

Pioneer Plumber Gives Up Trade After Serving Anaheim 39 Years After serving Anaheim residents with plumbing supplies and services for close to 40 years, Henry H. Armbrust formally turned over his plumbing supply shop, located at 326 E. Center st., to a new owner yesterday afternoon. As of this morning, Armbrust Plumbing shop will be owned and managed by George D. Cernich of Orange. Cernich, with more than 30 years plumbing experience in Los Angeles and Orange county, has maintained a plumbing establishment on Chapman ave. in Orange since 1939. He plans to add appliances and remodel the Anaheim store. Armbrust, always assisted in business by Mrs. Armbrust, started plumbing work here in 1911. Three years later he opened his own shop at 143 N. Los Angeles. After a semi-retirement from necessity from 1932 to 1939, the brusts' purchased the O'Neil on Los Angeles st. in 1940 moved to their present location 1944. Mr. Armbrust points out there are few homes owing years old in Anaheim he serviced at one time or as well as many of the city's houses. In retiring, he said yes that "I would like to take the portunity of thanking a friends, customers, and businessmen for the cooperation and kindnesses given me." Mr. Armbrust is retiring bof recurrent ill health. Squabbling Moguls Near Accord On County-Wide Sewer Project Fastest Growing Area in Nation Los Angeles has the fastest-growing Metropolitan Area in the United States, preliminary census figures disclosed today. The population in this 4,886 square mile area has jumped 48 per cent in the past 10 years—from 2,916,403 to 4,330,962. The Census Bureau recently designated the official Metropolitan area as all of Los Angeles County and Orange County to the south. In 1940, the Los Angeles metropolitan area then defined by the Census Bureau included only 1,540 square miles and a population of nearly half a million people. Joint county sanitation directors last night came together to discuss joint agreements which must cease sale of the $8,308,000 bonds were voted by selections for building a wide sewerage system. Studying proposed drainage agreement for purchase and sewerage facilities now open by the joint outfall systems cities and sanitary districts for construction and operation these and additional facilities built, the meeting received amendment offered by D. F (Newport Beach) and G (Mesa) which, some quarters peared to believe, might reopen old controversy between di over the hiring of engineers. The latest census figure for Anaheim closely coincides with an estimate given the Gazette several days ago by E. W. Moeller, Chamber of Commerce manager. It is well to remember at this point that the latest population figure is NOT official. The official report will be released from Washington after the close of the year. At that time it is certain that the population of Anaheim will show a higher figure than the 14,522 reported today. However, it is not expected to change materially. Reason for the anticipated increase stems from the fact that persons who left Anaheim before last April 1 and listed Anaheim as their home address will have their count tabulated in Washington and added to the figure the bureau has reached so far. Residents yet to be visited by a census enumerator should apply for forms from local census officials. COMPARATIVE FIGURES LOS ANGELES (AP) — Orange county's population is up 64 per cent over 1940, preliminary Census office figures disclosed today. The county has gained from 130,760 to 214,061.

Increasing Production of Processes For the Citrus Industry to Exceed Does the California-Arizona citrus industry face drastic changes in pest control methods and materials due to increasing amounts of fruit destined for processing? This question was explored at length today by 35 experts representing research, marketing, grower and pest control segments of the industry at a meeting held at the Orange County Department of Agriculture here. Consensus of the processing technicians is that fruit, to be used in making concentrates, must necessarily be of high solids content—a condition usually attained at ultimate maturity. This, they maintained, is generally accomplished by leaving the fruit on the tree for a longer period of time. Oil sprays, now used extensively in control of certain pests, tends to reduce the solids contents of citrus, according to the entomologists. This may mean a switch to some other material, such as parathion, which does not depress the solids in citrus, the pest control method dicted. Dr. A. M. Boyce, chief division of entomology at therus Experiment station in side, spearheaded a discussion parathion which he said three years of experiment shows promise of being an active insecticide for control of certain pests heretofore untouched more commonly used material. But, he warned: "We've got to learn to live it. Parathion has definite operational hazards." "California is in a position produce a distinctive and quality frozen concentrate which will contribute importantly to stabilization of the industry." Held, general manager for Citrus Juices of Fullerton clared. This can be done or maintaining a high quality raw product, he said.

All told, 138 of Anaheim's city employees cast "yes" votes during yesterday's polling session. Voting was carried on in three individual groups. The breakdown, provided by George Holyoke, president of the City Employees Association, showed eight for and none against in the fire department; 21 for and none against in the police department; and 109 for and 15 against among the various miscellaneous employees. Under state law, only a simple Voting was carried on in three individuaal groups. The break-down, provided by George Hollyoke, president of the City Employees Association, showed eight for and none against in the fire department; 21 for and none against in the police department; and 109 for and 15 against among the various miscellaneous employees. Under state law, only a simple majority was necessary to achieve employee ratification of the retirement proposal. Holyoke, who has been an active participant in the three year campaign for the retirement program, expressed satisfaction over yesterday's results. "I am very well pleased with the turnout," he said. According to Holyoke, the retirement plan will go into effect on September 1. Yet on the list of official things to do before completion of the move for participation in the state retirement plan, are formal report of the employees' ratification to the City Council and preparation and passing of a city ordinance to conclude the final contract with the state. A 50-50 contributory proposition, the retirement plan will cost the city about $60,000 a year. Baseball American League PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics put on one of the weirdest displays of baseball in history today to smash the American League record for total runs in a nine-inning game. After three hours, the Red Sox won 22 to 14. There was only one home run—Ted Williams' 24th. The previous American League record of 35 runs, by two clubs, was set in 1901, equalled 3 times.

National League BROOKLYN (AP) — The New York Giants rallied for seven runs in the last two innings today to defeat the Brooklyn Dodgers 11-5. Jackie Robinson clouted two home runs. Studying proposed drafts of agreement for purchase and sale of sewerage facilities now operated by the joint outfall system of cities, and sanitary districts, and construction and operation of these and additional facilities to be built, the meeting received an amendment offered by Districts (Newport Beach) and 6 (Costa Mesa) which, some quarters appeared to believe, might reopen the real controversy between districts over the hiring of engineers. The amendment was taken under study last night without discussion. So its actual significance remains to be seen at later meetings.

Truman Won’t Say What Or A-Bombs Will Be Used Action of Processed Fruit Will Make It Necessary Industry to Explore New Pest Control Methods citrus, the pest control men predicted. Dr. A. M. Boyce, chief of the division of entomology at the Citrus Experiment station in Riverdale, spearheaded a discussion of parathion which, he said, after three years of experimentation owes promise of being an effective insecticide for control of certain pests heretofore untouched by more commonly used materials. He warned: "We've got to learn to live with Parathion has definite occupational hazards." "California is in a position to produce a distinctive and good quality frozen concentrate which will contribute importantly to the utilization of the industry," J. L. Old, general manager for Golden Citrus Juices of Fullerton desired. This can be done only by maintaining a high quality in the new product, he said. Both Gordon Beisel, research director for Real Gold Citrus Products ucts at Anaheim and Mr. Heid stressed the importance of letting the fruit mature on the tree as the "ideal condition" for securing maximum fruit solids. This brought a sharp warning from pest experts that such a practice might create a fertile field for fruit flies. Holding the fruit on the tree also interferes with spraying practices, according to Orange county agricultural experts. Trees should be cleaned by September in order not to interfere with the normal spray season. Robbins Russel, general manager of Mutual Orange Distributors and its processing division, Real Gold Citrus Products, opened the meeting with the statement that: "As a premise to this discussion we feel that we should agree that the citrus industry must divert into channels other than the fresh market a substantial percentage of its total production—percentages which, in the main are so large that their disposition in forms assuring the top attainable return is a problem of paramount importance to the welfare of the grower." The meeting was arranged by A. H. Call, chief of the grower service department of MOD. Allan B. Lemmon, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the State Department of Agriculture, spoke briefly outlining the state laws governing the sale and use of deleterious pest control materials as well as regulations governing the tolerance in their use. Along the same line, Harold J. Ryan, chairman of the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commission, called for even stricter state laws regulating materials unsafe for use by competent operators. The state should also take a hand in insuring that operators are financially and otherwise responsible, he said. WASHINGTON—he has no doubt that K.

With this support, the defenders were holding their main battle line and surging to the counter-offensive. They recaptured strategic Kimpo airfield, 16 miles west northwest of Seoul. A North Korean broadcast said 27 U.S. bombers blasted Pyongyang, the communist's capital. There was no confirmation of this from Allied sources. American planes have been ordered to continue their fighting to the skies over South Korea. American warships, ordered to prevent communist seaborne reinforcements from landing, shelled North Korean naval and ground units near the communist-held South Korea port of Inchon, on the Yellow Sea coast. The cruiser Juineau patrolled the east coast to prevent strengthening of communist beachheads. Other U.S. warships struck at North Korean shore targets and naval units on the east coast in the area of Samchok, which is on the coast about 40 miles south of the North Korean border. Shortly after General MacArthur returned to Japan, heartened by a personal tour of the now-stabilized front, the B-29s went into action against primary North Korean targets with "good results," an announcement said. They blasted the way for the South Koreans into Kimpo field. To the east, other defending units battered at heavy tank concentrations in the western sectors of the fallen capital, Seoul. In Washington, U.S. casualties to date were counted at three, possibly six, killed, and 12 missing.
