LOCAL KIWANIANS FULLERTON GUESTS All or practically all of the members of the local Kiwanis club were the guests today of the Pullerton Kiwanis club at its weekly luncheon. The feature of the meeting was an address by E. T. Cassel, president and manager of the By-Products Co., of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange at San Dimas on "Co-operation." C. W. Austin of Anaheim and J. J. Parley of Fullerton were awarded the attendance prizes. Mark Haas of the Pullerton News spoke briefly in welcome. The singing was led by Dr. W. H. Wickett of Anaheim. The ideal of co-operation, said Cassel, was the sinking of self-for the sake of the group. Co-operation in the last analysis was an unfailing social panacea. Europe has a sore spot in Germany and the Ruhr, and like a man with a sore spot is sore all over. Co-operation is the solution of European troubles, in which America must aid. Business co-operation similarly is necessary for the good of the country. Trade secrets are being openly discussed. Co-operation and the sharing of profits started, said the speaker, with the Nazarene. California today was a product of co-operation. The two great forces of civilization today were the schools and the churches, and both had failed to do all they could. The happiness of civilized peoples depended upon them. Co-operation might be defined as good, ordinary Christian living. For the teaching of co-operation the church was the principal sources of knowledge. ASSERTS HIS TRUCK CROWDED OFF ROAD K.

SAME PRICE FOR PICKING WALNUTS With the crop this year two weeks earlier than last, Secretary-Manager Walter Ross of the 'Araheim Walnut Growers' Assn declared today that the danger of damage by extreme heat appeared to be over. The directors at their meeting last night set 70 cents per full suck in the field as the price to pickers, growers to sew cacks and haul them in. This is the same, figure as last year. Ross announced today that a substantial payment on last year's calls might be expected about Sept. 15. The final payments will not cotau until later. There are many differences of opinion regarding the size and quality of the crop. One prominent grower declares that a new special grade, the jumbo, would have to be fixed, while another said that shells were thicker and nuts smaller than usual. Ross said today that there would be a larger percentage of A-1 Diamond soft shell nuts than last year, which would mean larger returns. The nuts rree shelling well, Ross added, the hulls coming off clean. There is no blight to speak of and there has been little dusting for aphis or worms. Ross has signed up 55 additional acres with the association. The local house will open between Sept. 15 and Sept. 20, compared with Oct. 3 last year. The planting of new acreage continues in Ventura co. and other counties, hundreds of acres being set out. A new reservoir project will enable the planting of some 16,000 acres in the north.

Reckless driving meant driving in a manner tending to endanger the lives or property of others. Liquor and dope were the principal causes of recklessness. The club now has held its 49th consecutive 100 per cent meeting. Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange, Ontario and other cities were represented among the visitors. PURE OIL CO. BUYS OUT HUMPHREYS CO.
