The bonds of Steele Finley for the improvement of Brea Olinda road, Sec. 3 and portions of La Mirada avenue and Main street in La Habra were approved and the chairman was authorized to sign the contract. The petition of Catherine A. Brooks et al, to abandon a portion of Bluff drive in Laguna Heights No. 3 was granted. The petition of Catherine A. Brooks et al, to abandon portions of Pearl Street in Laguna Heights No. 3 was granted. Helen Craemer was appointed to prepare a report of the financial transactions of Orange county for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1919, and also appointed to recapitulate the statistical report for the past fiscal year and prepare copy for the printer. Supervisor Fred W. Struck was appointed as a committee of one to investigate the telephone service at the county park. No bids having been received for supplying Olive Lighting district with electricity and equipment necessary for operating lights in said district, the matter was continued indefinitely. The map of Tract No. 82 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract, and the bond of Catherine A. Brooks and Horatio J. Forgy was approved as security for the 1918-19 taxes. The matter of an appropriation for expense of a home demonstration agent was taken under advisement until July 16, 1918.

Out of these numbers 34 ble ribbon babies were Japanese and 38 were Mexican children. If it were not for the 307 doctors, nurses and brave women who assisted with this registration to substantiate these statements, the county chairman would hesitate to submit this almost unbelievably good report. The local chairman took chances on awarding the prizes in just this manner feeling sure that with all out of doors to play in the year around, and with the abundance of luscious fruits and fresh vegetables etc., afforded by our glorious county that our babies must run far above the average in the test of the eastern children given on the government cards we were asked to fill out, and we are more than pleased with the results. To be sure large children are not always best but the very great majority of ours are as healthy and husky as they look. Neither are small children always delicate. In fact our test proved quite the contrary, most of them being up to the largest in general health. For the benefit of those wishing the government test and advise of capable health supervisors we are continuing welfare station work in Santa Ana, 111 East Third St., which we hope soon to put on a municipal footing that with a capable nurse and our health officer should do much good.

Fullerton, as usual little ahead of the rest of the cities in this county in civic development, has this municipal station already established in her city hall where they are continuing the work. Orange at present has the county health officer which cares for those needing such attention in their city and Anaheim hopes to have such a center in the near future. The cards in he hands of the parents of the already registered children are awakening a general interest in better babies and the November registration will probably call out as many children again as were able to enroll this time because of the shortage of Government cards, as it was we used over 1000 substitute blanks and substitute cards, which will be sent with—the government cards with a little note saying that "over one third of the county is yet untouched so please send us 6000 cards next time if you want to know the names of all the babies in California's smallest but richest county, 'Nature's prolific Wonderland'." WOMEN OBJECT TO COUNTY FOOD INSTRUCTOR Council of Defense Thinks Expenditure Unnecessary The question as to whether or not Orange county would have a county conservation demonstrator was put up to the Board of supervisors Wednesday. It is proposed that the county appropriate $1500 a year for the ex- penses of a woman who shall demonstrate canning and drying methods and teach conservation of food in the homes of the county. The request for the appropriation comes from the California food administration, which has a federal appropriation sufficient to place twenty county demonstrators in the state. It was presented to the board by H. B. Woodrough, president of the county farm bureau; Mrs. Clark, state leader of demonstrators and Mrs. Hazzard, formerly a district demonstrator for Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Orange counties, now demonstrator for Los Angeles county. Opposing the appropriation is a resolution from the Woman's County Council of Defense. The board of supervisors took no action, and put the matter over until July 16. Mrs. Clarke said that the conservation plan is backed by the government child conservation, child nutrition, food substitution, fruit and vegetable canning, gardening and poultry raising are the subjects to be taken up by the demonstrators in homes and in classes and at farm center meetings. Mrs. Hazzard said that she had been over the county and was in a position to know that the women of the county as a whole want the demonstrator. Action against the appropriation was taken Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of women food conservation committeemen from various parts of the county, which was held at the new headquarters of the women's committee of the Defense Council on North Main street. Among the communities represented were El Modena, Orange, Brea, Harper, Bolsa, Garden Grove, Talbert, Tustin, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia and Santa Ana. Various matters pertaining to dottes, Javas, Dominiques, Rhode Island Reds and Buckeyes. The Ashtatic or meat breeds are: Brahmas, Cochins, and Langshans. The English breeds are: Dorkings, Orpingtons and Redcaps. For farm use the American breeds are probably the best. Purebred poultry means uniformity of products. Uniformity of products means increased profits, if products are properly marketed. Given the same care and feed, purebred fowls will make a greater profit than mongrels. HURRY UP ORDER ISSUED TO BOARDS Government Wants All Registrants Classified for August Calls A hurry up order for the immediate classification and physical examination and physical examinations of Class 1 men in order that local, district and medical advisory boards may have all registrants of the second registration available for August calls was received by Gov. Stephens from Provost Marshal General Crowder. In compliance therewith, Adjt.-Gen. Borree is advising local boards that immediately upon mailing notices of final classifications of the new registrants who have been placed in Class 1, notices to appear for physical examination shall be sent to all such registrants so that local boards may proceed without delay. This is to be kept up until all in Class 1 have been examined. It is also prescribed that the method and manner of determining the or- Action against the appropriation was taken Tuesday afternoon at a meeting of women food conservation committeemen from various parts of the county, which was held at the new headquarters of the women's committee of the Defense Council on North Main street. Among the communities represented were El Modena, Orange, Brea, Harper, Bolsa, Garden Grove, Talbert, Tustin, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, Anaheim, Placentia and Santa Ana. Various matters pertaining to the matter of food conservation were discussed, the chief business of the afternoon centering around the securing of a county food demonstrator for Orange county. County food demonstrator's work will be to get in touch with the women of the county who most need their services and to teach the value and the necessity of substitute foods, to encourage the preserving and drying of all available products, and to teach the proper and economical manner of doing this and in every manner possible to cooperate with the National Food Administrator. The work parallels that of the county farm advisor. There was much animated discussion of the proposed appointment. The United States government pays the demonstrator's salary and the county is to raise $1500 for office expenses, etc. In behalf of the measure, it was urged that the request for the appropriations is official, coming directly through governmental channels, and the question was raised as to the advisability of opposing a request from such a source, since the government was unlikely to make any such requests without careful consideration as to their desirability. On the other hand several women expressed the belief that the women were provided now with so much printed matter in regard to food conservation, and so many recipes that a demonstrator was unnecessary. Others feared that the women who most needed such a demonstrator would probably not be reached, and several housewives declared that their own experience and common sense were better guides as to conservation and substitution methods. The following motion made by Mrs. D. Eyman Huff of El Modena was carried: "I move that we express ourselves as feeling the necessity of the Food demonstrator not sufficient to warrant the expense entailed for it sestablishment." ANAHEIM ELK TEAM In compliance therewith, Adj.-Gen. Borree is advising local boards that immediately upon mailing notices of final classifications of the new registrants who have been placed in Class 1, notices to appear for physical examination shall be sent to all such registrants so that local boards may proceed without delay. This is to be kept up until all in Class 1 have been examined. It is also prescribed that the method and manner of determining the order numbers of registration cards received after June contained in the registrations be carried out. Where registration numbers have been erroneously assigned, the boards are instructed to draw an ink line through them but not erase. Correct numbers are then assigned. Draft registrants are not to be taken from Class 4 and placed in Class 1 merely because parents or others are willing to support their dependents. That is the effect of an order just received by Adj.-Gen. Borree from Provost Marshal General Crowder. When the reclassification orders went out recently permitting the changing of Class 4 men to Class 1, it was thought that the results would be numerically large, but the new order puts a damper on this. It reads as follows: "It is reported to this office that in the reclassification of registrants, now in progress, some local boards are basing the dependency status of registrants on a finding of whether or not the parents or relatives of the registrants, or his dependents, are willing or able to provide for the dependents while the registrant is in the military service. "Please call attention of all boards to paragraph F, Section 72, selective service regulations, which clearly means that the ability or willingness of parents or parents in law of a registrant to provide for his dependents must not be considered. Please further instruct all boards that this rule must be adhered to." As heads of large agricultural or industrial enterprises are not to be taken from Class 4, this new order leaves little except those who may have been placed in Class 4 through error, or whose dependents are able to support themselves.

NEXT Y. M. C. A. DRIVE WILL START SOON Pacific States Will be Asked to Subscribe $5,600,000. In the next Y. M. C. A. drive the eight states of the west will raise 5 per cent or $5,600,000 of the $112,000,000 which is the minimum amount set by the National War Work council of the Y. M. C. A. as necessary to meet the need of the American soldier and his allies at home and abroad and also finance the Y. M. C. A. in its work of erecting hostess houses for the use of soldiers and women war workers. Fully as important as the financial drive is the statement that 4000 men and women are needed to carry on Y. M. C. A. work among the troops of the American, French and Italian armies overreasas before September 1st, an dthat 5000 additional men and women will be required by spring. Never has there been such a call for men to serve the soldiers in the history of the world. Dr. John R. Mott, head of the International Y. M. C. A., and George W. Perkins of New York, treasurer of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., brought this message to the Pacific Coast. Only men over draft age, of good moral character will be considered for this service. It entails danger, privation and temptation and requires stamina and judgment. Already 300 Mitchell is secretary of the board by virtue of his office. C. E. Teach, supervising principal of the Orange schools, S. R. Fitz, principal at Garden Grove, and B. F. Beswick, principal at Tustin, are the other members of the board. Beswick was recently appointed to succeed J. J. Zielian. RETURNS FROM WASHINGTON Chairman Cuttle of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee has returned from Washington where he went at the request of the board of supervisors of Riverside county to assist in securing an appropriation for the completion of the Palo Verde levee. While there he also investigated the matter of the appointment of the waterways commission as provided in the Newlands river regulation amendment to the rivers and harbors appropriation bill of the 65th Congress, first session. As far as he could find there was no objection in congress or in the departments to the appointment of the commission. Since Senator Newland's death no one has been active in urging the appointment of this commission. Senator Fletcher, chairman of the committee on commerce, stated that he had had the matter up with the president several times and had been advised by the president that so far he had not had time to give the matter the attention which its importance justified. Senator Johnson stated that the only way to get action is to have someone busily at work in Washington stirring the matter up. At an interview which Geo. H. Maxwell and Mr. Cuttle had with Senator Ashurst of Arizona, Senator Ashurst stated that he would arrange for an appointment with the secretary of war so that the matter could be presented fully to the secretary. Mr. Maxwell is still in Washington working on Griffith Lumber Co. SEE US FOR YOUR BUILDING MATERIAL In Any Amount, Large or Small South Los Angeles St. H. M.' ADAMS, Mgr.
