THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Won't it be wonderful, next Wednesday, when 16. 17 and 18 once more become simple plain numbers instead of controversial issues. Barney Jordan, Anaheim California Bank manager, hasn't done one thing to try to get anyone elected in this election, as far as I know. Barney has been so busy swinging that great big whip over the heads of his United Fund captains that I doubt if he knows there is an election coming up. Al Feickert, Blake, Moffitt & Towne paper salesman, brought this little pearl to the Gazette office this week, "Help keep California green, vote no on Brown". Boats are beautiful things, glide along on the water so gracefully. BUT, let one get in front of you, on a trailer, on the highway, and they can be the biggest, most awkward, slowest and most obnoxious contrivance. Seems like we are constantly fighting something. We are fighting Democrats or Republicans or Communism or the little Many Claims and Counterclaims To the Editor: In every political campaign there are many claims and counterclaims made. Many honest mistakes are made in the zeal of the race. Regrettable as these are they are understandable. Some false claims are knowingly made. These are inexcuseable. Some of the mistakes which can be classed as "honest" ones might be considered "on the line." They are ones in which the true facts can be obtained with a little effort but it is easier and it better serves the purpose to promote a rumor, the accuracy of which is unknown. The candidate running against our Congressman James Utt has made some claims in public meetings which probably fall within the latter category. I personally heard him state that Congressman Utt voted 85% of the time against the policy of the President. The record will show that Mr. Utt "supported the Administration more than 70% of the time, differing with President Eisenhower only on the amount of Foreign Aid, the wording of the Reciprocal Trade Act and the Federal Aid to Education." In suiting a "voting record" to their own purposes, many researchers will record a vote preliminary cast against a bill and will completely ignore the vote for it which follows. Congressman Utt voted against the River Harbors bill which included item for county projects, but it included almost a billion dollars worth of projects which had been approved by the Correction Engineers. But he voted for bill when the unapproved proposal had been removed. This vote was ignored. I personally heard his opinion make the statement in a meeting that Congressman Utt not been able to get one passed into law since he had in Congress. Since Mr. Utt sent him full details on one circular bill which became the Act" and' which pertained dam practically in the back of Mr. Utt's opponent, thereby seems any excuse for him to know about it. It cannot be expected New Deal Democrats will that they can support Mr. Utt's philosophy but since Mr. Utt a strong supporter of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Free Enterprise System, lieve the election results show that both the Republic and the old Line Democrats believe in the philosophy of party's founder Thomas Jefferson will give hearty support to Robert A.

Anaheim banks have gone the limit this week for the good old Hallowe'en spirit. All bank employees are wearing costumes which render some of them unrecognizable. Usually I enter a bank with fear and trembling. Knowing full well that my balance is nearly unbalanced. But this week, under these conditions, it's almost more than my weak heart can stand. The Anaheim chamber of commerce office is perhaps the only place in the world where you can get confused directions to Disneyland. They must be specific and tell you which red light to watch for and which overpass to take. Anywhere else they say, "go to Anaheim and then ask". But this isn't so funny as employees of Disneyland Hotel Gourmet restaurant. When asked how to get the Anaheim from Disneyland, she said, "Wait just a minute, I'll ask someone." When I asked her the obvious, "How come you don't know how to get to Anaheim?" she came up with, "I live in Garden Grove". Yesterday I dusted off the space heater and connected it and had it smelling up the room. Today I had to bring back the fan which I had cleaned up and put away for next summer.

George Kellogg Tells of Avocado History (By George Hart) New varieties of avocados have been drawing widespread attention among growers for several years, evidently with good reason. Such varieties as the Bacon, Zutano and Hass are winning popularity for such items as improved frost resistance, regularity of bearing, a slender growth that permits closer planting. But as for George Timothy Kellogg, the Yorba Linda grower who is one of the pioneers of the avocado industry, he sticks with the good old standby, the Fuerte. A recognized authority on the avocado, former president of the Orange County Farm Bureau and head of the avocado section of the California Farm Bureau, Kellogg says he considers the Fuerte "still the best bet" as a commercial product. True, it is capricious in its bearing habits, off one year and on the next, he admits. But it is high-quality fruit and is still the king chipper of the lot, with an established market, a factor that must be considered by the commercial grower, Kellogg maintains. Fuerte Means "Hardy" It may not be as hardy in cold weather as some of the new varieties, but its name, Fuerte, means "hardy" in Spanish, and was earned when the Fuerte was the only variety to survive the terrific freeze of January, 1913, Kellogg points out. Kellogg, whose home community produced the world's first Fuerte avocado orchard, is an authority not only on growing the avocado but also on its history. On Nov. 8, 1519, he relates, General Cortes led his army into Tenochitlan (Mexico City, now) and was guest of Montezuma Aztec ruler, at a banquet he was served with the first cados of written history. Sent avocado seeds home to royal family of Spain and Pope in Rome. In the sixteenth century yish galleons spread avocado through the South Seas and Pacific islands and, later, ships carried cargoes of avocado from these islands and called "midshipmen's butter", says logg. Avocados were introduced California, near Santa Barra from Hawaii and Mexico, on the last century. In 1915, the formia Avocado Society was ed and, in this area, the most intensive study of the avocado made. But this study is so new we do not know the exact of the oldest tree," Kellogg said. "We have legendary advice certain trees have reached years of age and still pre-heavily." Known as No. 15 In 1910, F. O. Popenoe West India Gardens, Alt sent Carl Schmidt into Mexico scout for better varieties send cuttings for local pro-tion. In 1911, Schmidt sentings from a tree in the pa Senor Blanco, Atlisco, Mexico these were tagged with ths 15. No. 15 was the only variant Popenoe's establishment to vive the 1913 freeze. He named it the Fuerte. In 1912, J. T. Whedon padded five acres a mile and a northeast of Yorba Linda ordered several common var- of avocados from Popenoe, f livery the next spring. In M The Rotary club made money on the Hallowe'en festival Monday. All members not wearing orange shirts paid 50c fines.

Next Tuesday night television viewers are going to be bombarded with thousands of useless words by announcers attempting to fill in time between election returns. It would be so much more simple for them to flash the returns on the screen every 15 minutes and allow the viewer to read for himself. Ferguson Talks At City Attorney Meet Warren J. Ferguson, a recognized authority on municipal law, made a presentation to the city attorneys of California at the annual conference of the League of Cities at the Biltmore in Los Angeles this week. His subject was "The Application of the Initiative and Referendum to the Municipalities". The technical paper was based on a complete study and analysis of the Constitution, state statutes, and cases decided by the Supreme Court. Warren Ferguson is municipal attorney for Placentia and Buena Park. EXPLAINING ABOUT THE OLDEST FUERTRE AVOCADO GEORGE T.

In vaglia, Kellogg and Anderson appear dwarfed as they stand approximately 40 feet high and which Kellogg estimated from 4,000 avocados growing on it. The first fuerte avocado tree in 1911. Counterclaims It voted against the Rivers and Carbors bill which included an amendment for county projects, because it included almost a billion dollars worth of projects which had not been approved by the Corps of Engineers. But he voted for the amendment when the unapproved projects had been removed. This latter vote was ignored. I personally heard his opponent make the statement in a public meeting that Congressman Utt had been able to get one bill into law since he had been Congress. Since Mr. Utt had sent him full details on one particular bill which became the "Utt Act" and which pertained to a farm practically in the back yard Mr. Utt's opponent, there hard-seems any excuse for his failing to know about it. It can not be expected that New Deal Democrats will feel that they can support Mr. Utt's philosophy but since Mr. Utt is strong supporter of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Free Enterprise System, I believe the election results will show that both the Republicans and the old Line Democrats who believe in the philosophy of their party's founder Thomas Jefferson, will give hearty support to him.

Theodore Roosevelt Monday, October 27, was the centennial anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt, former President of these United States. Governor Knight had proclaimed. "Theodore Roosevelt Centennial Commemoration Week" which was observed throughout California. The State Commission calls attention to some of the works of this great American who was not only an outstanding administrator but a scholar, historian, statesman, soldier, explorer, and sportsman as well. To President Theodore Roosevelt goes credit for the creation of our National Parks system—which we in California particularly enjoy. His travels in the west over many years did much to popularize our state and lead to its growth and development. Most importantly, it was he who gave dynamic leadership in the conservation of our natural resources. Theodore Roosevelt's words were prophetic: "The fate of the twentieth century will in no small degree depend upon the type of citizenship developed United Fund "Blastoff Dinner Planned for No With $37,811 in advance reported in the United Furpaign of $17,500 for the heim area, leaders of this are pressing for completion at the campaign "blastoff rally; 6:30 p.m., Wednesday 5, at the Elks Anaheim. According to Adolf Hitler general campaign chairman his executive vice chair Joseph R.

In 1915, the California Avocado Society was formed, in this area, the most intensive study of the avocado was made. But this study is so new that it do not know the exact age the oldest tree," Kellogg stated. We have legendary advice that certain trees have reached 125 years of age and still produce avacily". Known as No. 15 In 1910, F. O. Popenoe of the best India Gardens, Altadena, met Carl Schmidt into Mexico to out for better varieties and cuttings for local propagation. In 1911, Schmidt sent cuttings from a tree in the patio of Nor Blanco, Atlisco, Mex., and those were tagged with the No. No. 15 was the only variety in Popenoe's establishment to survive the 1913 freeze. He then named it the Fuente. In 1912, J. T. Whedon purchased five acres a mile and a half southeast of Yorba Linda, and ered several common varieties avocados from Popenoe, for delivery the next spring. In March, 1913, Whedon drove his old white horse, hitched to a buckboard, to Altadena to pick up his order. He was told that the varieties he had ordered were frozen. He demanded refund of his money. Popenoe told him he couldn't refund the money, as it was part of the $100,000 Popenoe lost in the freeze. But he could have the hardy Fuerte, which probably was bset anyway, as it lived through the freeze. Whedon was angry, but had no choice. He took the 40 Fuerte trees reluctantly and planted them on his ranch. They became the world's first Fuerte avocado orchard. Whedon's anger vanished, he told Kellogg later, when his sale of Fuerte buds reached as high as $6000 some years, and he got standing orders for all the Fuerte fruit he could deliver to Los Angeles and San Francisco hotels at $12 per dozen. In 1922 another light freeze proved the Fuerte's hardiness. Its fruit was of excellent quality. For the next ten years nearly all plantings were Fuertes. Today, between 80 and 90 per cent of all avocados marketed are Fuertes, Kellogg states. Most of the buds came from the Whedon orchard. "Eventually the state of California will market avocados worth more than all the gold dug from 'them thar hills' since '49,' Kelogg declares.

Highway 80 the Catalina sport sedan encountered all types of terrain; mountains, deserts with temperatures up to 110 degrees, rolling plains, roads under construction and crowded streets of large, busy cities like Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas. Strong head winds were encountered on several days and one long afternoon of drizzling rain cut deep into the car's mileage performance. In order to maintain an average speed above 40 miles per hour it was often necessary to drive at a rate of speed upwards of 60 miles per hour. An average speed was maintained each day of the trip by checking miles traveled against elapsed time. A clock in the car was set in motion by starting the engine, and continued to operate as long as the ignition switch was on whether the car was in motion or not. All driving was done during daylight hours. Low Operating Cost The $35.79 spent on gas and oil for the 2,442.7 miles of travel represents a cost of 1½ cents per mile to operate the car from coast to coast under conditions experienced by the average driver. Regular grade gasoline was used and was purchased from major oil companies without the benefit of any type of discount advantageically for regular grade gas. The developed to provide a high level of economy without any significant loss in Pontiac's famous flashing V-8 performance, the special low-compression engine is available as a no-additional-cost option on all Hydra-Matic equipped Pontiac cars.
