Fruit Concentrates Made Industry Stable, Prosperous SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The nation's citrus fruit industry is now a stable and prosperous field rather than a gamble because of frozen fruit juices, says a Florida citrus leader. Dawson Newton of the Florida Citrus commission yesterday told the frozen food convention here that when fruit concentrates first came into the picture, the industry "was pretty sick." "During the season of 1946-47, growers received as little as an average of 46 cents a box for fruit sold for processing," he said. "Last season," he added, "they received an average of $2.72 a box for fruit going to concentrators." The 1500 delegates end their five-day convention today. By the Farm Editor To the above report the Gazette would like to add that at the present time there are firm sales of mid-season juice-fruit oranges to concentrators reported in the Florida daily press at the figures of $2.50, net on the tree, for an 80 pound box. This has put the Florida grower in high spirits for his best fruit, the valencia, has not reached proper maturity for volume operations. The Florida valencia, like the California valencia, is by far the best juice orange, but until the advent of Florida Mutual the valencia in the southern state was the "step-child" of the industry as it is presently in California. With the advent of Mutual the Florida valencia took its rightful place, at the head of the procession. Y Building Starts With Ground was broken yesterday at 121 S. Citron st. for structured, with Paul Demaree, chairman of the Y board of man of the building committee sharing honors at the show. Initial groundwork for the construction, to be done by has been started and will be completed in five months in directors are realized. Immediate construction will be limited by funds available, according to Tomnie Thomason, secretary of the Anaheim YMCA, and only a portion of Unit I of the new building will be started at this time. Unit I will cost $110,000 and will just about deplete the cash and subscription funds, according to Thomason: It will include a lobby, recreation room, four club meeting rooms, several offices, a kitchen, and a combination lockor and craft room. Harold Gemino, Santa Ana, is the architect for the building and R. L. Rayburn of Brea is the building consultant. He has been a building consultant on the national YMCA board for 35 years. Canyon Drain To Be Cleaned Cleaning and improvement of the Carbon canyon wash storm drain in the Placentia area, between Dowling and Placentia aves., soon will enter its preliminary stage. It was announced today by J. A. Bradley, county flood control engineer, who said the Board of Supervisors have allocated $12,000 for the work. The storm drain improvement covering a mile and a half of the wash is intended to relieve flood conditions in the area of the LaJolla Mexican colony between Anaheim and Placentia. Latest Rainfall But Anaheim Rainfall during the past 24 hours had added another .09 of an inch to Anaheim's seasonal rain today, making a total of .44 of inch for the storm, 5.88 inches for the season, all compared to 7 inches at this date last year. The present total represents deficiency of about five inches for the year, in comparison to normal expectations, according county agricultural officials. Rainfall measurements for various communities were: Anaheim ... .09 .44 .58 .78 Fullerton ... .05 .36 .59 .88 Buena Park ... .06 .48 .54 .79 La Habra ... .25 .82 .82 .98 Orange ... .19 .64 .59 .88 Santa Ana ... .16 .66 .61 .79 Newport B. ...58 .67 .47 .79 Hunt Beach ... .05 .63 .45 .79 LOS ANGELES (AP) — The weather man calmed down to modest little forecast of clouds with some scattered showers, today after emptying his bag of tricks on Southern California. Whatever variety of weather you looked for yesterday, there was—snow, rain, hail, chilly wind thunder and lightning. There was some damage, but winter sports fans rejoiced. There was considerable discomfort, b Hicks Promises More Pressure On Orange County Communists If Orange county communist forces have any designs against the Christ for Orange County crusade being conducted here through next week, they'll run into some stiff opposition. This thought was suggested by Gaylord Hicks of Santa Ana, chairman of the groups sponsoring the campaigns. The committee has redoubled its efforts to bring the message contained in its meetings to people throughout the county. It was stated earlier in the week that it was thought Orange county subversives may have had a hand in methodically removing or destroying most of the signs posted on main routes throughout the county pointing the way to the Anaheim Tabernacle, where the meetings have been conducted by Dr. T. W. Wilson, noted evangelist, and other members of his crusading team. "It's a well known fact that commies attempt to work through children," Dr. Wilson pointed out. "As a result, we're making an attempt to visit every school in the county during our time here." A touch of religion in the classroom can do more to undo the work of the reds than years of campaigning against them on an adult level. Thus far, the evangelistic team made up of Dr. Wilson, Organist Herm Voss and Sololist Don Devoss has had representatives visit the Southern California Bible College at Costa Mesa, the Washington and Walnut Schools at La Habra, the Junior High school in Anaheim and the Lincoln Elementary School in Garden Grove. "We noticed that our trouble didn't start until after our kiddies matinee last Saturday," De Voss declared. "As a result, we're planning a bigger and better kids' entertainment for this coming Saturday morning at 10 a.m. and are even planning to send busses out to outlying towns and cities to swell the crowd." The genial master-of-ceremonies for the series of revivals went on to add that "if the subversives in the county have banded against us because of the effect we have had on the children and they fear what influences religion might have on their plans, it is one of the most childish campaigns we have ever seen." Yet," he went on to say, "them are numerous incidents on record to show that subversive groups have conducted such campaigns in the past to discourage the teachings of Jesus to children and others whose minds might be molded in the right direction." For the Saturday morning kiddie matinee," it was announced that busses would leave the Garden Grove Methodist Church at 9:30 a.m., while a similar conveyance will depart from Yorba Linda Friends Church at 9:15. At 9:30 also, busses will be at the Neighborhood Church in Santa Ana and First Baptist Church of Fullerton. A bus will visit the Santa Ana Nazarene Church at 9:40 a.m. It was announced. All children will be returned to the churches when the program is completed. Ray Ton, popular story telling evangelist, will offer a special program for the youngsters.

TOKYO (AP) — U.S. Marines swept through abandoned Hoeng-song today and stabbed deeper into the heart of red defenses on the central Korean front. Communist resistance stiffened all along the Allied line. On the east-central front, Korean reds wearing South Korean uniforms knifed inside American positions and fought the Doughboys hand-to-hand. Red jets again challenged U.S. jets near the Manchurian border. Tank-led Marines of the First Division drove into Hoeng-song unopposed at 2:40 p.m. (8:40 p.m. PST last night) after smashing Chinese reds in a two-day battle on dominating ridges nearby. Infantrymen followed the Leathernecks. Field dispatches said they found the rubbled highway hub littered with the frozen bodies of earlier Allied casualties and scores of wrecked army trucks and jeeps. Hoeng-song was virtually deserted. Only a few South Koreans remained—and those had escaped the Chinese.

Ralph Osborn, presiding in the absence of President Dick Morley, reported that plans for the model air meet to be held in La Palma park June 24 are going ahead. He said entrance fees will be graded according to class this year instead of being a straight $1, as was done previously. The idea, according to Osborn, is to make it easier for the smaller fry to enter, thus increasing the scope and interest of the meet. The Air Meet committee is negotiating for 75 trophies to provide awards for first, second and third places in 25 model classifications.

Anaheim Stung By Greyhound Coach Strike Greyhound buses, operating through Anaheim on the Los Angeles-San Diego run, were tied up today in the strike of the Pacific Greyhound motor coaches in seven western states. Three buses a day are scheduled through Anaheim at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. The earlier buses did not run today. No passenger tie-ups were reported in this area.
