THE Sacramento Region News PUBLISHED BY t SACRAMENTO REGION CITIZENS COUNCIL Volume 1 MAY 19, 1928 Number 16 SUCCESSFUL MEETING IN SAN FRANCISCO From more than one point of view, the San Francisco session was a great success. More than two hundred persons attended the dinner-meeting Friday evening, about equally divided between those from our Region and those from the Bay area. Among the Bay district organizations represented at the meeting were Califor- nians, Inc., Southern Pacific Company, Western Pacific Company, Santa Fe Railroad, General Steamship Corporation, Dollar Steamship Company, Matson Steamship Company, Panama Pacific Steamship Company, Sudden & Chris- tenson (Steamship Agents), R. S. Silva Company (Steamship Agents), McCor- mick Steamship Company, International Mercantile Marine, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Oakland Chamber of Commerce, Holland-American Chamber of Commerce, United States Department of Commerce, American Manufacturers' Foreign Credit Underwriters, Inc., Union Oil Company, Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, Stewart Flour Company, Drury Advertising Company, San Francisco Produce & Provision Terminals, California Pear Growers' Association, Associated Press, San Francisco Bulletin, San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Daily News, Redwood Empire Association, along with many members °f the Foreign Trade Club of California. A review of the above incomplete list makes clear the value of the important c°ntacts established, which alone made the trip more than worth while. Mr. William G. Marvin, President of he Foreign Trade Club, represented admirably the gracious hospitality of his organization, which acted as host for the j^'ening. Mr. Morris, President of the VH,W00(i Empire Association, expressed equal cordiality the sympathetic buPPort of his association. p he following ten carefully prepared nonS Were read durin§ the evening, e of them running much over seven minutes: The Sacramento Region Citizen's Council," SIMON J. LUBIN, President, Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. 2. "Agriculture in the Sacramento Region," DR. CHARLES KEANE, State Department of Agriculture. 3. "Water Conservation and Utilization in the Region," CAPTAIN JOHN D. HUBBARD, Chairman, ' Water Resources Committee, Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. 4. "Livestock Opportunities in the Sacramento Region," T. H. RAMSAY, President and General Manager, Pacific National Agricultural Credit Corporation; Vice-President, Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. 5. "State Trade-Mark for All Farm Products," GEORGE T. MEEKER, Supervisor, Butte County; Director, Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. 6. "World Markets for California Products," WILLIAM G. MARVIN, President, Foreign Trade Club of California; of Marvin & Bergh, largest firm of international lawyers in the world. 7. "San Francisco! Lest Ye Forget!" CHARLES H. ROBERTS, Secretary-Manager, Nevada County Promotion Board. 8. "Our Mountain Counties and Their Resources," JOSEPH H. HUNTER, Supervisor, Lassen County; Director, Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. 9. "Recreational Resources of the Region," CLAUDIA BAILEY FINNEY, of Oroville. 10. "Industrial Resources of the Region," M. E. DITTMAR, Manager, Lassen Volcanic National Park Association. The hour put at our disposal by KFRC made it possible for only the first seven talks to go over the air. To broadcast the Council's story and Mr. Marvin's talk on World's Markets, Mr. Harrison Holli- way, Manager of KFRC, ran a special wire to the meeting place, thus enabling many thousands of persons to listen-in to the program. All ten papers will be printed in the next issue of the NEWS. During the dinner, Mr. Holliway presented two of the most popular- stars of his station, Mr. Robert Olson and Miss Edna Fisher, who entertained the audience with several beautiful musical selections. The world-market enthusiast and good friend of the Council, Mr. William J. Mitchell, explained to those present the details of the following day's program. The Council was especially honored by the presence of Hon. Luigi Sillitti, Royal Consul-General of Italy. Towards the end of the meeting, the President expressed the appreciation of the Council of the fine attitude taken towards the Council and its purposes by the Foreign Trade Club of California and the Redwood Empire Association, and requested that the Presidents of both organizations, Mr. Marvin and Mr. Morris, act as honorary members of the Council, representing their associations, and that they attend our meetings whenever possible. Both gentlemen accepted the invitation cordially and sincerely. Mr. Marvin closed the session with an inspired and enthusiastic appeal for broader outlook on the part of civic organizations, offering the co-operation of his Club and of himself personally in the activities of the Council. Many of the members of the Council present declared that in their opinion the San Francisco session was one of the best and one of the most valuable ever held. Much of the credit for the large attendance of San Franciscans must go to Mr. R. V. Winquist of the General Steamship Corporation and to Mr. William J. Mitchell of the Harbor Tug and Barge Company. Both men are members of the Foreign Trade Club of California. GERMANY STILL WANTS OUR PRUNES The Hamburg prune market continued firm during the first half of April and a large business was done in boxed prunes with the inland markets. Packers resumed buying during the first two weeks of the month, but mainly from second hands, since direct quotations from California were somewhat higher. The outlook for American prunes remains favora- able. Imports of prunes into Germany from September 1, 1927, to March 31, 1928, amounted to 41,200,000 pounds as against 38,657,000 pounds during the corresponding period last season. (F. C. M.)
