Warren Blasts Roosevelt for Attack On Appointment of Gen. Robertson Governor Warren last night rolled out the big guns of offensive against his opponent, James Roosevelt. In a fighting radio speech over a state-wide ABC network, the Governor attacked Roosevelt as "a candidate for governor" who has sought to belittle Maj. Gen. Walter M. Robertson, USA retired—the Governor's appointee as director of civil defense. Governor Warren cited Roosevelt's representation of Robertson as "a nonentity," as a man "no one had ever heard of"—and proceeded to castigate Roosevelt for sullifying the name of a military leader who had served with distinction. "It is certainly a new low in politics," Governor Warren said, "for a candidate to impugn the valor or to question the patriotic devotion of any man who has served honorably in our armed forces." Mr. Roosevelt should be the first to recognize that fact because he himself served in the last World War. I have always credited him with having served honorably and creditably, as I have all of the 14,000,000 who served in that war. Everyone of them is entitled to our utmost respect and gratitude." Thundering at Roosevelt for "a snide, wholly unjustified and indecent reference to one of the nation's most distinguished soldiers," Governor Warren recited Robertson's record as a West Point graduate, his service in both world wars, his citations for meritorious duty and his commendation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Governor Warren also lambast- Avocado Outlook Bright This Year If favorable winter conditions prevail, the 1950-51 avocado crop will be as good as last year, about 23,000,000 pounds. And prices will be as good or better than last year. This was the outlook report made by Jack Sheperd of Calavo Growers, Inc., to 375 growers assembled at the 22nd annual avocado growers' institute held Saturday at La Habra. Orange county and Los Angeles county production is estimated at 6,000,000 pounds, and San Diego county at 17,600,000 pounds. Two percent of the production, Sheperd said, will be due to the variety and 18 percent will be other varieties—mostly Nabal, Mass and Mexican seedings. The Nabal crop will be only 10 per cent of its volume of last year. This is a decided off year for the Nabal variety. Tests made by the marketing agency indicate that the Fuerte crop is about two weeks earlier than last year. Ross Hudson of La Habra and George Kellogg of Yorba Linda explained methods each used in thinning out their older crowded avocado orchards in order to maintain or increase yield per acre.

At least that's the open of western-style clothing and facturers. The last 10 years have Americans make the cowpigs garb almost as typical of country as the Stars and Stripes. Texas and California lead nation in production of the cured get-ups. Frontex of Dallas pioneered in the production expensive, high-class shirts, pants and suits for retail sale. The Levi-Straus Company California, nearly 10 years and creators of the famous "L" pants, always has and still manufacture primarily for man who makes his living in saddle. But Levi-Straus' refusal to get fancy hasn't bothered play-cowboys. High school college campuses everywhere filled with teenagers decked in the Levis. J. Sidney Thompson, Dr. clothing manufacturer, gives reasons why Americans clamor western togs: 1. The people's desire for something colorful seems to be swerved by vivid and flambooy cowboy attire. 2. The rising popularity of square dance and the rooftops spreads the demand. 3. Television and motion pictures have heightened interest such cowboy actors as Roy Rogers Gene Autry and Hopalong Cousy. About 20 factories in the U.S. are making popular-priced dresses for the would-be westerner. They are hundreds of custom tailors throughout the country who are charge fabulous prices. Thundering at Roosevelt for "a snide, wholly unjustified and indecent reference to one of the nation's most distinguished soldiers," Governor Warren recited Robertson's record as a West Point graduate, his service in both world wars, his citations for meritorious duty and his commendation by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Governor Warren also lambasted Roosevelt for his proposal for evacuating 4,000,000 of the California citizenry in the event of bombing attack—a project which Warren assailed as "hysterical, nonsensical and wholly demagogic." The Governor was introduced by James C. Sheppard, regional director of civilian defense for Western states during World War II, as a governor with "sound, forward looking" plans "in keeping" with the proposals of President Truman. ABC's coast-to-coast broadcast, "Surprise Package" starring JAY STEWART originates from Big Top La Palma Park, Friday, October 27, 1:00 p.m. Ross Rodson or La Haora and George Kellogg of Yorba Linda explained methods each used in thinning out their older crowded avocado orchards in order to maintain or increase yield per acre. The heavy shading caused by close plantings reduces the light necessary for normal fruit bud formation. The actual spacing required by avocado trees will depend on the depth and fertility of the soil and to the growth habit of the particular variety planted. On thin soils 25 feet may be sufficient. Deep fertile soils will require 35 and 40 feet spacing, they said. No practical method of stopping root rot organisms has yet been found, according to Dr. George Zentmyeer, pathologist at the Experiment Station. The best advice now is to replant infested soils with other resistant varieties of trees. The use of avocados in salads and other food preparations was demonstrated by Marian Prentiss and Margaret Todt.

At least that's the opinion of western-style clothing manufacturers. The last 10 years have seen Americans make the cowpoke, almost as typical of this era as the Stars and Stripes Texas and California lead the nation in production of the color-set-ups. Frontex of Dallas is emerging in the production of insensitive, high-class shirts, pants suits for retail sale. The Levi-Straus Company in California, nearly 10 years old, creates of the famous "Levi". It always has and still does fabric primarily for the cowboy makes his living in the state. But Levi-Straus' refusal of fancy hasn't bothered the cowboys. High school and campuses everywhere are busy with teenagers decked out in Levis. Sidney Thompson, Dallas manufacturing manufacturer, gives three reasons why Americans clamor for cowboy tops: The people's desire for some colorful seems to be an end by vivid and flamboyant attire. The rising popularity of the dance and the rodeo is the demand. Television and motion picture heightened interest in cowboy actors as Roy Rogers, Autry and Hopalong Casas. But 20 factories in the U.S. making popular-priced duds would-be westerner. There hundreds of custom tailors without the country who make charge fabulous prices for their supply. Then the demand reached such proportions that the corporation started making its own. Texas is actually way down the list in the production of western clothes, but claims two "firsts" when it comes to the manufacture of boots — both quantity and price. Tony Lama of El Paso made the most expensive pair of boots ever presented at a style show. Valued at $5000, the boots were made of the finest leather and were encrusted with 32 percious jewels. Tom D. Collins, secretary manager of the Southwestern Shoe Travelers Association, says Texas produces nearly 50 per cent of the nation's cowboy boots. The oldest and most famous bootmakers in Texas include Nocona of Nocona, Texas, Justin of Fort Worth and Lucchese of San Antonio. Even though manufacturers haven't changed designs to make the cowboy boot more comfortable, association manager Collins estimates that about 75 per cent of America's production is consumed by dudes, the remainder being bought by real cowpokes. The high heel and flair-top haven't changed an iota, but color and wild sewing extravaganas have been added to attract the rodeo rider and the fan, along with the cowboy musician. There are always those men who are choosy—and won't have anything that looks like everybody else's. So manufacturers have employed the few remaining cordwainers to handle their custom made orders. Now called bootmakers, the ancient cordwainer has a history as colorful as his product. He hates being called a cobbler, because a cobler is just as repair man. The cordwainer needs and has the strength and wisdom his cord through tough sewing the sole to the trade and kind antedavement everything—except man for self preservation. Boots—all kinds of symbolize many things: mous boots of the cavalry of the English knight; the paratroopers, these other types are treasure owners above any other article. There's a fiery story the boots worn by the Texas A&M. Senior伯 recently worn officially A&M seniors, now and only by school seniors standing.

Finally divided fertilizers are likely to set and be used immediately unless using machinery is available or fertilizer is to be dissolved applied in the irrigation. According to advices from distributors in the state National Fertilizer Association, plant storage has already curtailed, freight cars are no longer difficult to obtain and is short. Santa Ana Medal Wearer Honored The name of a Santa Ana resident will be perpetuated this Fall when the 77th Division Association holds its reunion of veterans of World Wars I and II. Nelson M. Holderman, a native of Trumbell, Nebraska, entered the U.S. Army in World War I from Santa Ana. He was subsequently awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his deeds in the Argonne Forest, France, between October 2nd and 8th, 1918. A plaque attesting to Holdermans' actions will be hung in the Association's new Memorial Hall in New York when a reunion of veterans of two world conflicts is held from November 9th to 12th of this year. He was a Captain in the 307th Infantry at the time of the action northeast of Finarville, France, for which he was honored. According to the citation Captain Holderman "commanded a company of a battalion which was cut off and surrounded by the enemy. He was wounded on October 4th, October 5th, and again on October 7th, but throughout the entire period, suffering great pain and subjected to fire of every character, he continued personally to lead and encourage the officers and men under his command with unflinching courage and with distinguished success. On October 6th, in a wounded condition, he rushed through the enemy machine... company of a battalion which was cut off and surrounded by the enemy. He was wounded on October 4th, October 5th, and again on October 7th, but throughout the entire period, suffering great pain and subjected to fire of every character, he continued personally to lead and encourage the officers and men under his command with unflinching courage and with distinguished success. On October 8th, in a wounded condition, he rushed through the enemy machine gun and shell fire and carried two wounded men to a place of safety." Holderman's company was one of the units in the famous "Lost Battalion" of World War I. For more than six days the officers and men of this portion of the 77th Division were entirely surrounded by German troops. They refused to surrender and held the position against all counter attacks until friendly forces fought their way up to it from the rear.

His trade and kind antedates almost everything—except man's desire for self preservation. Boots—all kinds of boots—symbolize many things. The famous boots of the cavalry—boots of the English knight—boots of the paratroopers, these and many other types are treasured by their owners above any other single article. There's a fiery story behind the boots worn by the Aggies of Texas A&M. Senior boots, until recently worn officially by all A&M seniors, now are sported only by school seniors of officer standing. Seniors who have failed to be commissioned are kicking up a protest, but ex-Aggie C. E. Lattimore of Dallas says the order won't be withdrawn. The treasured boots, costing about $70, will be worn only by senior officers. But the desire for western wear is here and is likely to stay. The craze got underway early in the war and rocketed through to 1948. In 1949 the urge hit Americans again and production zoomed. War babies threw away bottles and picked up ten-gallon hats, guns and chaps and manufacturers had to open the throttle. The makers of western goods watched the country's kids absorb the celluloid cowboys and made plans to cash in on their illusions. Gene Autry endorsed boots, jeans, guns and fancy shirts, as did Roy Rogers. Hopalong Cassidy (William Boyd) bought up all his old pictures and sold them to show hungry television producers and soon he was endorsing wild west kid clothing. This year fanciful youngsters will squeeze some 200 million dollars worth of western toggery out of parents' pocketbooks. Grown ups also will buy bright shirts, boot's and trousers in unprecedented quantities. 200 Attend 4-H Shopping Session Some 200 4-H members and leaders attended the first Orange county shopping day, reports Miss Anne Girod, home advisor for the agricultural extension service in charge of 4-H work in Orange county. The special program for 4-H clothing members was held Oct. 21 at the Santa Ana High school. Miss Ada Mae Marshall, 4-H club stylist for the Simplicity Pattern Company presented a fashion show for the young seamstresses. The garments for the show, "Fashion Candids for the 4-H Modern Miss," were modeled by Orange county 4-H girls. Assisting Miss Marshall was Mrs. S. L. Postlethwaite, 4-H leader from Garden Grove. The Ventura home advisor, Miss Jeanne Greenawalt, discussed "How Do I Buy Material." Miss Pat Moore, head of the Orange Coast College home economics department, gave pointers on good sewing equipment. Green Tag Days SAVE! SAVE! - No Checking - No Cracking - No Chipping How? SAVE!
