Destroys Factory Another destructive fire hit Anaheim about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the first in some time, when the warehouse-factory of the Interstate Adjusteze Corporation at 805 E. Center Street burned to the ground. The fire was of undetermined origin, however, two employees were working in the building at the time the fire started. They attempted to extinguish the fire and being unsuccessful in this attempt, they called the Anaheim fire department but it had gained such headway it was impossible to save any of the building, which was located at the rear of the main plant. John E.

Adult Forum to Hear Kenyon Scudder On Child Delinquency Monday evening, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Anaheim Evening Forum, the noted criminologist, Kenyon J. Scudder, will discuss a program of preventive measures which have proven effective in the fight against child delinquency. Each year in America more than one million young people find themselves in trouble. Too often we do nothing about these young people until they reach adolescence. Then, when they resort to violence, we spend millions to protect ourselves from them by building reformatories and keeping them filled. Mr. Scudder points out in vivid style how these tragedies can be prevented. Recent studies have shown that juvenile delinquency is frequently caused not by low economic status or lack of education, but primarily by the relationship of the very small child—the one-to-five age group—to his parents and by the relationship of the parents to each other. The parent-teacher-child relationship is equally significant. 50 Years Ago... October—1906 The first showers of the season fell on Saturday night at 9 o'clock as a result of electrical disturbances which raged in the desert and mountains to the north and east. In the Placentia community was an attempt to assassinate President Arthur, but there is no truth in the report. The community was shocked on Tuesday when the announcement was made that Mr. C. Mosseman had died at a few minutes past twelve of congestion of the lungs. Mr. Mosseman was one of the Pioneers of Anaheim. He was an honest straightforward man and his friends were legion. His funeral which was one of the most numerously ever attended in Anaheim, was conducted by Anaheim Lodge 85 A. O. U. W. Mr. Mosseman was born November 9, 1831, the same day on which the late Pres. Garfield was born. Mrs. Alice Higgins, the wife of Dr. W. M. Higgins, will leave for Philadelphia the coming week to be gone about six months. The purpose of her visit is to enter the Women's College in that city for the purpose of special subjects. The prize burglary of the day has been unearthed. Some enterprising burglars broke into Mr. Averill's home in Los Angeles Sunday evening while the family was at church and succeeded in making off with 20 cents. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau have received their new stock of fall and winter goods and invite the public to inspect the same. J. M.

Younger Boys To Benefit In 'Y' Clubs Tuesday, Sept. 25 was the first fall meeting of the Anaheim YMCA Indian Guide Council. This was a meeting of both eastern and western nations. According to George Fowler and Cliff Beckler, presiding chiefs, this meeting was called to discuss two main issues. First, ideas were discussed for organizing the new 'Y' Indian Guide Tribes to meet the growing demand. All boys up to nine years old are eligible to participate with their dads in 'Y' Indian Guides. Several of the experienced guides present volunteered to help organize new tribes at their schools. The advantage of a keen sense of observation paid off to Robert L. Siewerd, an inspector at the Delco Operations plant in Anaheim, who was awarded a total of $2,122.56 in U.S. Savings Bonds for his suggestion in which he proposed the use of a rotating type of table in the dumping of charging acid from Delco Battery units. The new method of operating prevents equipment damage due to acid spillage, thereby eliminating costly repairs, and improves the operating efficiency of the entire assembly line.

Kuchel’s Campagin Tour To Hit 5 Counties Keeping up the 16-hour-a-day pace which he began last Aug. 30, U. S. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel will barnstorm in five southern counties in the next five days in what his supporters call a "no-let-up" campaign to win re-election Nov. 6. The incumbent lawmaker will make more than 40 formal appearances in Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino, Kern and San Diego counties, following four days of stiff campaigning in the metropolitan Los Angeles area since returning from a month-long northern "grass-roots" tour last Sunday. Kuchel carries his campaign to the inland counties beginning tomorrow (Fri.) at 10 a.m., when he arrives at Imperial County Airport, El Centro. Tomorrow's (Fri.) itinerary for the 46-year-old solon calls for meet-the-people tours in Brawley, Calexico, Holtville, El Centro, Indio, West Riverside and Citrus Acreage Growing Steadily California's citrus industry is entering a new era of expansion, according to D. M. Anderson, secretary, Sunkist Growers. In a recent poll of county farm advisors and agricultural commissioners, it was found that nearly 15,000 acres of new citrus have been planted in the state during the past two years with another 2,500 acres planted in Arizona. The peak acreage for citrus in California was reached in 1946-47, since that time land devoted to orange and lemon growing has been dropping, largely as a result of the building boom in Los Angeles and Orange counties. Now the trend is reversing. Ventura County shows the largest expansion of any of the citrus producing areas with nearly 6,000 acres of non-bearing trees which will come into production during the next few years. Most of the Ventura County plantings are lemons with about 450 acres of oranges. Santa Barbara has about 1700 acres of young trees not yet in production and farmers intend to plant another 500 acres next year. In Tulare County slightly more than 1,000 acres of oranges are in the non-bearing category and growers say they will put out another thousand acres next year. San Diego County has about 850 acres of young lemons and 115 acres of oranges. Los Angeles and Orange counties report some new plantings but these are probably offset by the groves currently being converted to housing tracts and factories. According to Anderson, growers have the advantage of 50 years of research to help them plant varieties and rootstocks. St. Jude Guild Luncheon Opens Fall Season Work The St. Jude Hospital Guild will inaugurate its fall season with a luncheon meeting on Monday, Oct. 8, at the La Habra Hospital Club. San Diego County has about 850 acres of young lemons and 115 acres of oranges. Los Angeles and Orange counties report some new plantings but these are probably offset by the groves currently being converted to housing tracts and factories. According to Anderson, growers have the advantage of 50 years of research to help them plant varieties and rootstocks that are best suited for their land. New cultural practices will aid them in getting the best possible yield from their plantings, and a constantly rising population assures them of a market for their crop. St. Jude Guild Luncheon Opens Fall Season Work The St. Jude Hospital Guild will inaugurate its fall season with a luncheon meeting on Monday, Oct. 8, at the La Habra Woman's Clubhouse at 12 noon. Members of the Woman's Club will prepare and serve the luncheon as in previous years. New officers, board members, chairmen and new members will be introduced to the membership-at-large. Plans which have been formulated for money-raising projects for the current year will be discussed and the date announced when the entire membership of the St. Jude Guild will be taken on a second tour of the nearly completed St. Jude Hospital in Fullerton.
