NEUBAUER ...To the Lord Our God belong mercies and forgiveness.—Dan. 9:9. AMERICANA—Just six years ago today—on May 8, 1945—hostilities came to an end in Europe. There was rejoicing throughout the land as the evil forces of Nazism had capitulated. HISTORICAL — Anaheim and Orange county as a whole owes much to its development to the citrus industry. It was R. H. Gilman that credit for the fabulous Valencia orange industry must be given. He was sent to the Placentia area in 1872 to purchase 110 acres for a Central California concern. He did and on January 1873 returned and began to develop one of the first extensive citrus holdings in Southern California. History records the hardships he encountered as he not only had to develop his trees, but also a dependable irrigation system. It was here, in the Placentia district, that Orange county's rich Valencia orange industry began. Although historical records do not indicate whether the first trees were planted by Gilman or by J. H. Dobbins—a neighbor of C. C. Chapman, another citrus pioneer—it matters little.

HIGHT-MAY 8 NIGHTLY WOOD REVUE History records the hardships he encountered as he not only had to develop his trees, but also a dependable irrigation system. It was here, in the Placentia district, that Orange county's rich Valencia orange industry began. Although historical records do not indicate whether the first trees were planted by Gilman or by J. H. Dobbins—a neighbor of C. C. Chapman, another citrus pioneer—it matters little. MARKETS—Before the coming of the transcontinental railroads in 1881-85, markets for Orange county produce were limited. Oranges had to be hauled to Los Angeles by wagon for shipment by steamer to the east. The first carloads of oranges were shipped from Anaheim in 1883 in a cattle car. The shipment consisted of 30 boxes to a car. In 1888 400 boxes of oranges were shipped from Orange county. The first full trainload of California oranges was shipped from Los Angeles on Feb. 14, 1886. William Wolfskill is credited with the first commercial production of oranges (navels) in Los Angeles (Hollywood) in 1841. RAILROADS — The Southern Pacific built its line to Anaheim in the winter of 1873-74 and the first train to Anaheim arrived in January 1875. The Santa Fe line to San Diego came in August 1890, while the Union Pacific built its line to Anaheim in 1924. CITRUS ACREAGE—With the development of Eastern markets through transcontinental railroads, citrus acreage immediately increased. While there were but 1800 acres in oranges in 1890, 10 years later there were 4500 acres of oranges under cultivation. By 1930 there were 44,500 acres of bearing Valencias in the county which yielded more than eight million boxes of fruit. The largest crop raised was in 1929 when over 10 million boxes of fruit were shipped. In recent years, growers have been plagued with "quick decline" and most of Orange county is under quarantine. Housing developed nominated thus far to succeed Mrs. Jay T. Cooper of San Francisco as federation president at the annual election tomorrow are Mrs. W. B. Rider of Sacramento and Mrs. Amer C. Stop of Durham. Nominations may also be made from the floor. Today's speakers included Mrs. Hiram C. Houghton of Red Oak, Iowa, national federation president, and William G. Paul, president of the Los Angeles stock exchange. The convention will continue through Thursday.

The largest crop raised was in 1929 when over 10 million boxes of fruit were shipped. In recent years, growers have been plagued with "quick decline" and most of Orange county is under quarantine. Housing developments and subdivisions have also cut into citrus acreage. OIL WEALTH—Two of Northern Orange county's biggest citrus producers, C. C. Chapman and Sam Kraemer, had the good fortune of striking oil on their extensive citrus holdings in the Richfield district. Chapman, Fullerton's first mayor, took an active part in that city's development. Kraemer, on the other hand, was interested in Anaheim. There was an intense rivalry between these two leaders. When Chapman erected a five-story building in Fullerton, Kraemer built a six-story structure in Anaheim. Neither would let Santa Ana outdo their town as far as "skyscrapers" were concerned. POSTSCRIPT — Many colorful personalities worked to build this industry of which Anaheim is the center. SALT LAKE CITY (F) — The city parks commission turned over a bass fiddle to a group of amateur singers. The instrument had been collecting dust since the 1930s.

TOKYO UP—Allied troops today pushed cautiously north at both ends of the 100 mile Korean front for the second successive day. Patrols hunted in the vacuum between these points for vanishing red troops. Far north of the theoretical battle line, pilots reported new communist build-ups in red Korea.
