Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER Even the fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise.—Prov. 17:28. LINES-O-TYPE—Workman will soon be demolishing that 125-foot high, 45 wide smoke stack on the Essex Wire company property that was part of the old Anaheim sugar factory. Scaffold has been placed around it and soon the old landmark will be leveled. Anaheim will soon get that $270,000 armory that has been in the "promised" state for years. The building site has been settled. It will be on the northeast corner of La Palma and Olive streets—site of the "post-war" housing units. Plans call for the building to be completed in three years. Judge John Shea will be doing business in the Fullerton-Anaheim Town-hip court after the first of the year, C. R. Young and Sons, contractors, are moving right along with the courthouse across the street from La Palma park. FORECAST — Scattered light showers and rain in general won't be showers of blessing to some Anaheimmers before long. Why? The Carbon Canyon runoff waters will be running through the north end of town. Flood control will again be conspicuous by not having any. PREDICTIONS — "Don't quote me," a reliable observer of the Anaheim scene said, "but there are three pretty good bets on Anaheim council race in 1954." Seems like Slim Nyboe has shown interest... Al Marcoux, Kwikset's safety engineer, former Anaheim realtor and former Navy man, has declared definite interest... Joe R. Thompson, former chairman of the planning commission, is also being urged to throw his hat into the ring. He hasn't FJC Evening Principal Discusses Values in this Changing World Walter J. Pray, principal of Fullerton Evening college, and moderator of the Forum, addressed the Anaheim Knights of Columbus last night at the KC hall. Topic of the address was "Moral and Spiritual Values in This Changing World." In 1900, there were very few cars, but lots more horses, today there are millions of vehicles and very few horses. Women in 1900 wore floor length, busseled frocks, and men had to suffer with stiff collars and shirts. Very few women worked in those days. But during World War II, we couldn't do without them. Census shows that Jim Wright who is running the basketball end of Don Derr's Recreation program will soon be a schoolmaster. He's doing so well with his practice teaching that he's already gotten a dotted line on which to sign... Hal (Skeets) Gregg, Anaheim's golfing ball player, had to think twice while considering a $500-a-month job which required pitching a game once a week... Adolf Schoepe's exclusive hilltop won't be so exclusive very much longer. They've leveled off another hill. Mister Kwikset is going to get new neighbors... Earle T. Jackson, however, is an Anaheimer who believes in comfort. His hilltop hacienda is large enough for him to keep a cattle or two... William T. Rodger, Sr., has retired from the oil game. There wasn't anything else to do. His job was sold out from under him... Howard Cornwell observed: "Colin Baker is going to rebuild that packing house that burned down. Seems foolish. In ten years there won't be any oranges in this part of Orange county to pack." QUERIES—A reader asks: "Who was responsible for the Anaheim colonization plan? A. Historical authorities vary.

Thirty-three years ago, women were not allowed to vote. It seemed amazing in the change in the most 50 years. In the scientific field, electricity and machinery was practically unknown. Today, machinery is enormous, airplanes fly faster than sound. New ideas are coming and nothing is impossible anymore. In 1907, the Statler hotel in New York was the first hotel to have individual baths in the rooms, and today, if you don't get a room with bath, you are insulted, Mr. Pray continued. Average wage earning was borne tween $400 and $500 per year, at at the same time Andrew Carnigan made $23 millions and no income tax, quite a spread. The average wage earner today gets around $4300 a year, but the 1900's dollar was worth three times as much it is today. In the medicine field, Mr. Pray continued, progress is tremendous. What did the doctors do in those days without these new wonders drugs? he mused. It is natuural for humans to resist changes because of lack of understanding Pray said. Our greatest enemy today is fear. We fear atomic war, insecurity, which may happen in our old age and our families. Some fear is lessened by the government putting in our age pensions, social security, etc. We fear Communism, yet we have the most lethal weapons to fight it in our society. "Fear of God," Mr. Pray said, "is lack of understanding." Mr. Pray said, "church attendance is on the gain, and Catholic churches has maintained its tendance because of strict discipline." People today are more becoming religious conscious Father Skewen has a tremendous TV audience, compared to other well known entertainers on TV People read more books on religion. Why all this attention to religion? because World War II has awakened us to the fact that PREDICTIONS — "Don't quote me," a reliable observer of the Anaheim scene said, "but there are three pretty good bets on Anaheim council race in 1954."

Thompson, former chairman of the planning commission, is also being urged to throw his hat into the ring. He hasn't said no."... Anaheim's Larry Kirschmann will make track history at Santa Ana college in 1953. He's certain to write his name in the Eastern conference record books. Silent John Ward is jubilant. SIGNALS—There will be signals on the "coroner's corner" sometime in February. The State Highway Department has requested electrical service at that time. PEOPLE — Eddie Ochon hasn't lost any of his athletic ability since graduating from school. He's a whiz on the basketball floor... QUERIES—A reader asks: "Who was responsible for the Anaheim colonization plan? A. Historical authorities vary. August Langenberger, a German and Juan Pacifico Ontiveras' son-in-law, was a friend of George Hansen, the man who surveyed the site and was the agent with the San Francisco colonization group, is given credit as being one of the originators of the plan... Q. What is the average use of irrigation water per acre? A. According to Anaheim Union Water company figures, 17 inches per acre was the average used. Less water is being used than before, because less land is being irrigated... Q. Who was Anaheim's first historian? A. While the first historical accounts are the minutes of the Los Angeles Vineyard Society kept by the colonization group in San Francisco, John S. Hittle, one of the Original Fifty, wrote extensively about the project. TODAY'S BIGGEST BARGAIN Reddy Kilowatt—your electric servant Your rates for domestic electric service are lower today than they have ever been, because Edison has reduced them more than twenty- service are lower today than they have ever been, because Edison has reduced them more than twenty-five times since 1921. But in these times of inflation and high taxes, a record of thirty-one years without a rate increase is getting harder and harder to maintain.

Minging Aspects of California-Arizona Citrus Industry Revealed INDS—The 48th annual of the stockholders of Orange Distributors was here yesterday. Frank S. chairman of the Board of the cooperative, pre- the business sessions allowed a dinner served to growers, packing house, and MOD personnel. In his opening remarks Gunter called attention to world changes in the citrus industry, such as the increased plantings in other countries which means more competition for California-Arizona oranges in the European markets. He also spoke of the increased production in Florida and the competition that state is offering, particularly in respect to canned products, many of which actively compete with California-Arizona fresh fruit. How the California-Arizona citrus industry is meeting these trends was the burden of the report by Robbins Russell, MOD general manager. He pointed out that the population of the United States was making a net gain of three million each year, which means more consumers for citrus fruits. The west coast population is increasing at a tremendous rate in comparison with other sections of the country so there is an enlarging market right in our backdoor. While there is some difficulty in export sales because of the monetary situation in foreign countries, the industry has been able through the operation of an export payment plan administered by the USDA to ship thousands of boxes of oranges and lemons and grapefruit overseas. This operation drained off a heavy surplus of small sizes which were not marketable through domestic fresh fruit channels at a profit. In this operation, California-Arizona received nearly five million dollars from Section 32 funds which Congress set up to aid American agriculture's export programs, while Florida received approximately one-half million dollars. Under the school lunch program—another Federal government support plan—California huge, 45-foot wide stack, it will be apart, piece by piece. Big Chief C Medicine M Say-um...

This operation drained off a heavy surplus of small sizes which were not marketable through domestic fresh fruit channels at a profit. In this operation, California-Arizona received nearly five million dollars from Section 32 funds which Congress set up to aid American agriculture's export programs, while Florida received approximately one-half million dollars. Under the school lunch program—another Federal government support plan—California-Arizona sold $869,986 worth of processed citrus during the season. Russel also discussed the use of motor trucks in distribution and the cost of selling fruit by various methods. The new package—the half box corrugated carton—is indicative of a trend toward lower packaging and shipping costs, which trend will lower distribution costs and thereby increase returns to the growers. Following the reports of President Gunter, General Manager Russel, and Controller W. E. Shollenbarger, there was a panel discussion of some of the questions most frequently asked by growers of packing house managers. Besides Russel, the panel consisted of Joe Imhof, Ed Melia, and Robert Winans of the MOD Sales department; A. L. Chandler, manager of the Field Service department; W. T. Hardy, chief inspector; Wright Toalson, traffic manager; Clark Donmyer, director of Sales Merchandising; with W. E. Shollenbarger as moderator. The stockholders elected the following to the Board of Directors for the coming year: J. A. Baker, Anaheim; A. R. Christensen, Chula Vista; Harry Clark, Phoenix, Ariz.; J. W. Crill, Garden Grove; Kent A. Fish, Orange Cove; F. S. Gunter, Redlands; Glenn A. Harris, La Habra; Irvin Hartley, Upland; W. B. Merchant, Woodlake; C. T. Norwood, Redlands; Frank Nuslein, Orange; J.

'Wordy' Meeting Results when Anaheim-Fullerton Toasters Meet Anaheim and Fullerton combined last night to prove that two Toastmasters clubs are wordier than one. Hillcrest club and Anaheim chapter of Toastmasters International held a joint meeting at Lum's restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed themselves trying to out-talk each other. Guy Tester of Anaheim, opened the meeting, after an invocation by Walt Chaffee of Fullerton, and Bob Gates, president of the Hillcrest group then presided for the rest of the program. The four speakers were Bob Wiese, and Aubra Tilley of Fullerton, who spoke, respectively on the subjects of "Push Button Weather Modification," and "High Tension" and Anaheim's two Lyle Wallace, on "The End of an Era," and Lewis Boys who gave a sketch on "Blackbeard, the Pirate." Lewis Boys was voted the possession of the weekly cup which represents the best speech of the evening. Timekeeper was George McKool and Evaluator was Bob Gates and Cal Brothers of Fullerton-Hillcrest club and Bob Allen and Britt Gray from Anaheim club. Darrel McGavan directed the Evaluation and Bob Ward performed the duty of Grammarian critic. Toastmaster of the evening was Walt Chaffee of Fullerton, and Louis Taylor of Anaheim conducted the Table Topie on the subject of "Bowl Games." Guests who attended the meeting were Ray Malott of Fullerton, Maurice Chisholm of Kirkhill Rubber Co., Dwight Palmer of Apex Smelting, and Tom Jeffers of Robertshaw-Fulton Controls, Anaheim. Inflation Hits Parade Tickets WASHINGTON (UP)—Even the prices of tickets for the president's inauguration parade are going up. The parade tickets more or less went on sale yesterday at a price of around a third more than they cost four years ago. People paid from $2 to $10 for a seat to see President Truman ride by. It will cost from around $3 to $15 to watch President Eisenhower. Most of the increase is due to taxes. Four years ago the parade committee either forgot—or didn't know about—the amusement tax. They later had to cough up 20 per cent of the gross for the tax collector. This time the tax will be added to each ticket. The reason prices haven't been set, definitely: the bids haven't been let for the erection of temporary stands, so no one knows the cost.
