These were chiefly James Baker to Serve Another Term As President of Orange Association James A. Baker was reelected president of the board of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange association Wednesday at the cooperative's annual meeting held at Knott's Berry Farm. Henry Ramm was reelected vice president, and the following directors were unanimously reelected for another term: F. H. Eickbolt, Milton Pannier, A. C. Korn, George Vandenberg and Edward Wagner. Over 250 members attended the meeting to hear Manager T. E. Woodward make his annual report in which he stated: "The 1951 Valencia crop made history that will be recorded as the second largest in volume handled by your association in 27 years. It was surpassed only by the crop production of 1938. Both these years of heavy yield followed years of severe crop injury from freezes. "Tonnage diverted to processing during the past year was the largest on record, with fruit solids yielding the highest returns per ton since this value determining method has been established." Woodward went on to report that the association records of the past year showed a per acre production of 335 field boxes as compared with 160 the year before. This compared favrably with the entire Southern California tree crop of Valencias which was 15 per cent higher in 1951 than in 1950, he said. “This heavy increase in volume accounted for more money to the association members despite lower returns per box,” Woodward pointed out. “Likewise, it accounted for lower overall operating costs in the face of a general rise in the cost of material and labor.” As to the outlook for 1952, Woodward quoted government figures predicting a 50,000 car tree crop—about 20 per cent less than 1951. Also, he said, “we will be faced again with the prospects of marketing small sizes. Speakers at the meeting were Robbins Russel, general manager of Mutual Orange Distributors; Clark Donmyer, director of merchandising; A. H. Call, manager of the grower service department and Robert Winans, assistant fresh fruit sales manager. George A. Graham, manager of Citrus Growers, Inc., made a brief report on the recruiting of Mexican Nationals for farm labor during the past year.” DOLLAR DAYS at... Mitchell's Treasure House of Gifts 239 W.

The flag, which was procured through the good offices of Sen. William Knowland (Rep.) of California, was badly wind-whipped, but the tears were mended by the Thimbles, girls' 4-H unit, and will fly over the school. Rev. Phillip Selfridge, pastor of Evangelical United Brethren church of Anaheim, gave a short talk on the spirit of the flag, the background of religious feeling which makes the flag the inspiring symbol it is, and the club's responsibility and that of the school in accepting it. Dorothy Jiles, 4-H president, presented the flag to Kaymonc Terry, school trustee, who, in turn, presented it to Katella Principal Martin Morocco. Farewells were said to 4-H Leader John Hubbard, who has taken a position as farm advisor with the Orange county agriculture department. He was presented a billfold and a plaque bearing the names of all the club's members. Leader Y. F. Haminatt introduced Richard Basse and Charles Kinnn, who will replace Hubbard. Plans for a family backyard playground contest were announced by Ronnle Schnitger. Local Ikes to Hear Speaker Claude Kreider (well known magazine author, will speak at the regular meeting of the Anaheim Izaak Walton League tonight). His subject will be the general hunting and fishing in California and its future. Kreider, the author of two popular books, "Steelhead" and "The Bamboo Rod", writes a monthly column in Sports Afield magazine and has his stories and picture articles in every other major outdoor magazine on the market. The current issue of Hunting and Fishing magazine features his latest story "The Lunkers of Widow's Pool". While he disclaims the title of expert in any field, he is certainly a keen student of all types of hunting and fishing. He will be glad to pass on any information on how and where fishing is gained over many years. The stag meeting is open to all sportsmen and all Ikes are urged to bring a friend. Refreshments will be served under guidance of Les Roseberry. Meeting starts at 8 p.m. at the Anaheim Ikes Clubhouse at 317 E.

These were chiefly valencia men and their contention was that - Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor SOME TIME last year a group of California growers and shippers representing about 40,000 carloads of oranges petitioned Secretary of Agriculture Brannan to terminate what we know as the prorate. These were chiefly valencia men and their contention was that as the money return to growers only represented about 40 per cent of parity. That the only valid reason for having government control of shipments in the first place to achieve parity for the grower and the order further states that if parity or very near parity for the grower is not gained through regulation then the Secretary of Agriculture shall discontinue prorate. That's what it says mates. So these California growers and shippers, representing the Exchange, MOD and Independents, sent in their petition. It was cold turkey. It said simply that the valencia growers were tired of "eliminating" fifty-two (52%) per cent of their fruit outside of fresh channels when northern navels were allowed to ship 88.23 per cent of their fruit in fresh form. In short the valencia were fired of doing the elimination for the rest of the California industry as the prorate order FORCED them to do. Brannan had all he needed before him to terminate the prorate and to find out WHAT could be done to bring parity to the California grower. What did he do? Nothing. What did the California industry do? One little controlling segment did something. Ha-ha-ha, we heard the story and hasten to pass it on to you. MR. McLAIN, who runs the Exchange—as if you didn't know it, held forth in a little inside meeting with some of the top “hired help” and the upshot was that Mr. Wilcox scurried to Washington and in the back door of the Agriculture dept. The result being the present “referendum” which might nigh insures the continuance of volume prorate run just as Mr. Mcain would like it. Well, that is the sory and shows just about how the “boys” work. Today is the last day to vote and the poor, uninformed California grower will again show up as the citrus industry's biggest sucker. Hospital Worker Receives Honor A California mental hospital worker, Mrs. Helen Bray, is winner of the 1951 National Award as Outstanding Aldea to the Mentally Retarded, it was announced today by Oren Root, president of the National Association for Mental Health. Mrs. Bray, an employee of Pacific Colony State hospital, was chosen from a nationwide selection of candidates for her initiative and skill in bringing family life to the hospitalized mentally retarded children under her care. The $500 first prize, a gold pin and award certificate, will be presented in a special ceremony to be held at Pacific Colony late in February. The aide awards are made yearly by the National Association for Mental Health to outstanding workers in the field of direct supervision and care of mentally retarded children to encourage higher standards for mental hospital personnel. “It’s a wonderful honor,” was Mrs. Bray's exclamation, when notified of the award, “I hope it means there'll be more interest in our children. It's been hectic, all right, being mother to over 200 children, but it's worth it right now if more people know they can be helped.” The award came as a result of Mrs. Bray's work on two nursery wards of severely handicapped children, whose ages range from one to eight years and mental ages from one month to three years. In the past two years she has hunted and fishing. He will be glad to pass on any information on how and where fishing is gained over many years. The stag meeting is open to all sportsmen and all Ikes are urged to bring a friend. Refreshments will be served under guidance or Les Roseberry.
