The Citizens' Committee announced lta purpose as "service In case of flood, fire, storm, disorder and riot." To date, both the elements and man were behaving themselves. A major ity of the orchard workers have them selves frowned on any attempt to stir strife and menace the peace and prosperity of the valley while the harvest of the fruit is under way. Visiting organizers and disciples of the "Cannery and Agricultural Wor ers Union" are declared dormant. In dulging in nothing more serious than calm discussions of the economic dif ference.
