MELLEN Assistant Advertising Manager MARY ROULAND Assistant Advertising Manager RALPH ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager Colony Quips Last Thursday we took some figures out of publications that are available to all. We drew no conclusions but there are several that are self-evident. But we had better go on with the story of the profits of Minute Maid corporation which reached a new high because of frozen concentrates. This was done with Florida fruit almost exclusively. The only addition of California fruit came from Real Gold plant to the grower—then something is very rotten and the grower is being hoist on his own petard. Anyone who does not understand this can come in and we will give them a further treatment. We don't blame Mr. Fox for trying to buy oranges for less money. He paid as high as $84 a ton in Florida last year and went out and got 'em. So he came out to California to sign up some cheaper fruit and from what we hear was willing to pay a decent price for good Valencias. What we mean right here is about twice the price the Exchange has the by-products fruit pegged. They control the price which juice fruit pells for and make no mistake about it. Mr. Fox, as Mr. Wilcox told us, Boyle bluntly told Trump his criticism of the Marine ever well-intentioned, might feat a number of Democritus November. The president wished that the Marine League, then convened inington, was prepared to ablistering resolution of conflation. In fact, delegates clamoring to adopt this resentment when Commandant Nixon assured them that they would retract and were only ed down after a stirring debate by ex-Congressman Mel Minnesota, a former Marine nel. "This is not a question of survival of the Marine Maas told the delegates are fighting another war, is a question of whether action will be destroyed right front of our eyes. We've put loyalty to the United States above personal squabbles concentrate on preserving both United States and the United States Marine Corps." More Truman Letters Members of the White staff are holding their breath some of the other petuous letters Truman has ten will now leak out. For, the past five years H. S. been writing pungent, paragraphs to various Sections on all sorts of subjects. Fortunately, most were wary to old friends who have kept letters as souvenirs. The Corps letter, being written Republican, was promptly used him. But the White House letter of apology to Gen. B. Cates, Marine Corps commandant. Last Thursday we took some figures out of publications that are available to all. We drew no conclusions but there are several that are self-evident. But we had better go on with the story of the profits of Minute Maid corporation which reached a new high because of frozen concentrates. This was done with Florida fruit almost exclusively. The only addition of California fruit came from Real Gold plant right here in Anaheim last season and even then Minute Maid shelled out a lot more money to Real Gold than they will to EOP this year under Mr. Wilcox's "cheaper fruit" contract. This no matter what their alibi will sound like. It probably will start like this: "Our growers, taking into consideration the dearth of soluble solids, will receive millions and millions of the new, gay colored, cigarette coupons which can be turned into money simply by weighing them in at the nearest salvage—we mean by-products paper store. This will eliminate the costly handling through the banks of other paper products which apparently our growers have been weaned away from. After all, it is the entire return of the acre." But let us get on. Minute Maid reported that their sales, of frozen concentrate, for the eight months ended June 30 totaled $14,488,033, an increase of 135 per cent over the same period the previous year when sales totaled $6,168,006. John Fox, president of Minute Maid, reported that their sales were running around $3 million a month and that for the fiscal year ending October 31, 1950, they would exceed $25 million. He added that in terms of customers these figures meant that close to 16 million cans bearing the Minute Maid label are being carried into American kitchens each month. How does that make our "freshmen" look? Remember that Minute Maid while it is a pretty good outfit is only one of many others who are in this frozen concentrate up to their necks. If there is not room for our California Valencias in this picture—and we mean at a profit WASHINGTON — Behind the president's apology to the Marine Corps was some Dutch-uncle talking by chairman Bill Boyle of the Democratic National committee, Attorney General McGrath and Leslie Biffle, secretary of the Senate. At first, Truman refused to recant. He was mad as blazes about newspaper criticism of his remarks—which he felt was inspired by Republicans—and about the deluge of irate telegrams flooding the White House. It was only after Boyle, McGrath, and Biffle argued for some time that he finally dictated the ton in Florida last year and went out and got 'em. So he came out to California to sign up some cheaper fruit and from what we hear was willing to pay a decent price for good Valencias. What we mean right here is about twice the price the Exchange has the by-products fruit pegged. They control the price which juice fruit sells for and make no mistake about it. Mr. Fox, as Mr. Wilcox told us, is in business to make a profit and not to take care of the grower and see that his crop gets "moved." If Minute Maid does not get ahead Mr. Fox will be out of a job. If an Exchange grower goes "bust" Mr. Wilcox won't even have to look for a job in Florida. If you get what we mean. If Messrs. Armstrong, Wilcox, Wohlwend, et al., can't return the grower a fair return on his crop then why do we hire them to do that job? Is that the job they get paid to do? If they don't get a job done then why don't we hire some folks that can? Or have we all been too coy to tell them, cold turkey, just what the facts of life are. We raise this fruit to sell for money and not to sell "cheaper" just to get the crop moved. If this is treason make the most of it. Get the gang plank out and see who is going to walk it. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette Dr. MRS. HENRY KNICHOLT IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of the Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago We waited patiently until a late hour for the returns from Los Angeles but they failed to reach us. We know, however, that Temple is elected for county treasurer by about 300 majority. Messrs. Hammel & Denker have bought three lots on the Kuchel estate—two adjoining Calisher's store and one in the rear. The price was, we believe, $2,500. The purchasers intend to immediately commence building a brick structure to be used for a general store. Mr. Glancey has abandoned the publication of the "Semi-Tropical Farmer" and will move his material to Sacramento. 50 Years Ago Harris & Falkenstein have taken a lease on the Kellogg warehouse, near the Southern Pacific depot at West Anaheim and are filling it with produce for shipment. They have, during the week, made contracts for hay, melons, poultry, grain and other produce, and draw from the county as far south as San Juan Capistrano. This is a feature of their business which will be given special attention, and promises to grow to large proportions. A new consignment of crockery, direct from England, will arrive shortly. New shelving has been put in to accommodate consignments of new goods and a hat case where the newest styles of head ware will be on display, has been constructed. The firm is wide awake and reliable and is constantly reaching out for new business. 25 Years Ago Frank Dyer and family have returned from a month's outing at Anaheim Landing and he is again at his place of business on North Los Angeles street. It was like treading some banquet hall deserted to find Frank away, but he insists upon going to the beach during the month of August, which he has done for many years. In the "25 years ago column" appears an item stating that Frank has just returned from his month's sojourn at the beach. His name does not appear in the "50 years ago" column, for he was probably at home with his new pair of red toped boots. (How about it Frank? This time it adds up to 50 years—or is it more than that?—Editor.) Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Campbell and Miss Frieda Janss left Thursday for Camp Baldy. They expect to be gone about 10 days. CHP Warns Driving Of School Hazard Pointing out that 586 children of school age were killed in traffic mishaps in state of California last year, the California Highway Patrol urged that motorists especially careful while driving September — particularly driving near school grounds. The CHP pointed out that 2 others were injured in accidents many of which were preventable. The actions of children are completely unpredictable, the said, and it warned that traffic toll is to be reduced year that drivers must be for youngsters at all times. Robert R. Neyland, in 18 yrs as a football coach, has seen teams win 143 games, lose on and tie 11. Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER NEWSREVIEW — ANAHEIM's first rainfall of the year measured .01 ...

OAKY DOAKS WANDA WHYE, A WACKY WITCH, HAS DREAMED UP A PLOT TO MAKE HERSELF QUEEN OF UNCERTAINIA AND HAS SENT HER NEPHEW, TWO-LANCE LANNY, ON A SECRET MISSION TO KING CORNY'S CASTLE. SCORCHY SMITH Fortunately, most were written cold friends who have kept the letters as souvenirs. The Marine Corps letter, being written to a publican, was promptly used by But the White House staff has been in mortal terror that one of the other unprintable letters will now see the light of day. A lot of people have asked why the president writes these letters. Made from the well-known fact that he is hot-tempered, there are no reasons: Bourbon and branch water. The president does not drink to excess, but he does enjoy a high at lunch—sometimes two or three of them; also a little relaxation in the late afternoon. As a Senator, Mr. Truman into the habit of answering his mail. He believed that every convent had a right to get a personal reply from him, and he has felt this up as far as Members of Congress are concerned since he entered the White House. No official censor reads his mail after it is dictated. Members of the official family tried this but it doesn't pay off. The president resents opposition—as the late Bob Hannegan, who ended up in the doghouse, said out. Truman's Imagination Actually, Mr. Truman goes with farther in his backstage musus than he does in public. Fact, he sometimes imagines dogs that never happened. For instance, the president has told an alleged incident wherein he says he called me into his office, opened the drawer of his desk, and pointing to two pearlled revolvers, is supposed to be said: "If you write anything like that I'm going to shoot." The interesting thing is that the incident never happened. If the president keeps two pearlled revolvers in his desk drawer, I have never seen them. Never pull out the drawer in presence, never pointed to the revolvers, never threatened to put me. In fact he never threatened to put me at any time or in any place. The president has told this alleged incident with such apparent acres to Placentia for a Memorial park... Mrs. Jacqueline Smith Phelps of Orangethorpe sought the appointment of a guardian for her four minor children who have been named as beneficiaries in the estate of the late Marion MacNell Smith...

VITAL STATISTICS — Not a child was born in ANAHEIM last week, though the stork did business with seven ANAHEIM fami- the interesting thing is that the incident never happened. If the president keeps two pearlled revolvers in his desk, I have never seen them. Never pull out the drawer in presence, never pointed to the revolvers, never threatened to put me. In fact he never threatened me at any time or in any way. The president has told this alleged incident with such apparent conviction that some people believed him, and by this he probably himself, really believes that it happened. From a personal point of view was never upset by the president's allegory or any epithets cast any direction, since I am fair in the game in season and out. Furthermore, regardless of perilities, I have felt that the resident is about 90 per cent at in his general goals for the mon man, though sometimes at 90 per cent wrong in his methods of carrying them out. CHP Warns Drivers Of School Hazard Printing out that 586 children school age were killed in traffic accidents in state of California year, the California Highway Patrol urged that motorists be specially careful while driving in December — particularly when going near school grounds. The CHP pointed out that 21,487 cars were injured in accidents, many of which were preventable. Actions of children are often totally unpredictable, the CHP said and it warned that if the car toll is to be reduced this year that drivers must be alert youngsters at all times. Robert R.
