THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS Many Towns are so Close to the Picturo that They Can't See the Frame The town that cannot be improved upon just isn't! Yet in every community there are "acres of diamonds" that have never been mined. Mr. Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, says: "The advantages of a community for both business and residence are often lost sight of by its dullness. The very obliviousness dulls their perception by becoming CONTEMPTUOUSLY FAMILIAR." It is only natural that to that with which we are most familiar we pay the least attention. A stranger notices the growth of a child much more than do its parents; candy is no treat to a confectionery store clerk, and a rose in your own front yard is much more attractive to the man in the next block. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks the greenest; the other fellow's business appears to be a "snap;" some other town offers greater possibilities as long as you stand so close to the picture of your town, your community or your neighborhood that you cannot see the fullness thereof. "Contemptuous familiarity" works both ways and therefore we have sickly cities, callous communities, tired towns, haggard hamlets and hundreds of vanishing villages, the citizens of which go on about their daily tasks apparently totally unaware of their condition. The old saying that "There is a little bit of bad in the best of us and a little bit of good in the worst of us" applies to towns and communities as well as authorities and the co-ordination of all effort. The California Department of Agriculture has been able to render important assistance. D. B Mackle, senior entomologist, was in Florida when the presence of the fly was first suspected, April 8, and upon request of Grain Grower Hold It By W. M.

Wandering We Seeking Deputies from the Sam Jernigan and attache County hospital progress in tracing them in locating friends of 70-year-old woman home of Mrs. James South Sycamore street noon, stating that she her daughter. The woman, who got Woodall, told deputies Forgy, when they and the Sycamore street the strange actions andversation of Mrs. Wohethe Sewells some alarm been put on a train that day, but did not was supposed to go. however, that she was her daughter, but daughter's name or title supposed to live. Attaches in the house Hit Exaggerated Forest Fire News State Division of Forestry Issues Statement to Newspapers In an appeal to the press to avoid making exaggerated statements in reporting forest fires, M. B. Pratt, state forester, says: A most serious situation exists today in California in the publication of misleading accounts of fires. We have no intent to censor or condemn anyone in this regard, but because of the tremendous damage done by such exaggerated reports to tourist travel, resort trade and timber investments, it is believed that this is a matter deserving your very earnest consideration and co-operation. In 1928, for example, a "forset fire" said to cover 65,000 acres proved to be a range and brush fire of 4,000 acres and a reported 4,500 acres "virgin timber fire" burned less than 30 acres of small second-growth trees; a brush of 100 acres, which was promptly controlled, was featured as a conflagration that caused many thousands of dollars of damage; a fire that was miles from a national park was pictured as threatening the park, the big trees and the safety of vacationists. A number of other like exaggerations could be cited—many of which were published in eastern papers to the detriment of California. On the other hand, there should be no "gag rule" to withhold accurate news of fires, and the State Division of forestry the National Park Service and the U. S. Forest Service stand ready to supply all agencies, at all times, with authentic data on fires that occur on lands under their respective jurisdiction. But all fires are not "forest fires," nor do they all "rage" or "sweep" over land with the same devastating effect, although these are the traditional and familiar terms used in reporting fires. But it is such generic terms, so universally used, that tend to associate the fire evil only with mature forests, and confirm public disregard of the importance of safeguarding areas of valuable young-growth timber, brush covered watersheds, grain fields and grasslands. We are counting on you, as leaders of the press and the men who mould the opinion of many thousands of people, to assist us in the accurate presentation of fire facts and figures that are devoid of exaggeration, but which will at the same time bring home to every citizen the seriousness of the fire problem. In making this request authorizes and the co-ordination of all effort. The California Department of Agriculture has been able to render important assistance. D. B Mackle, senior entomologist, was in Florida when the presence of the fly was first suspected, April 8, and upon request of the Florida plant commissioner, was instructed to remain. Scouting developed that the area in which the infestation existed covered at least seven counties, and measures for establishing quarantines were taken. Immediately when the infestation was discovered all fruits on the ground or in the neighborhood of the infestation were ordered gathered and disinfected and buried at least three feet deep. The first infestations were found in Orange and Seminole counties. In Orange county the heaviest infestation city of Orlando. Orange county prowas in the immediate vicinity of the duces mainly citrus fruits. The citrus trees in back yards and gardens almost without exception showed infestation where there was fruit hanging on them. For several days more than 15,000 boxes of fruit daily were destroyed. Trees were stripped of fruit in all stages of development, and follow-up work is being done to see that none was missed. As many as seventy-four inspectors and technical experts; 200 laborers, utilizing a large number of trucks and teams; 120 members of the state militia with nine commissioned officers guarding fifteen roads and maintaining highway quarantine stations which surround all centers of infestation, were engaged in the campaign. Scouting over a cross-section of the state from the Atlantic Coast to the Gulf of Mexico, was organized for the discovery of any new points of infestation. Florida has established quarantines to prevent spread of the infestation to other parts of Florida. Federal quarantines, for the protection of other parts of the nation, were inevitable. The greatest danger to California lies not in the fact that there may be a lack of co-ordinated effort or determination to eradicate and prevent spread of this fruit fly in Florida. As we see it, this is well taken care of, but the danger lies in the fact that it is possible that some fruits may have been shipped already this season, possibly some last season, which may have carried infestation to other sections of the United States which do not prohibit the introduction of Florida fruits. Ahese areas in other states if infested, are now possible centers of infestation unknown to us. California, fortunately, is protected by long standing quarantines. It has Battle Line Drawn in Fruit Fly War The Mediterranean Fruit Fly, most serious and destructive of fruit pests, has now entered the United States. Its coming has been anticipated for many years by authorities on plant pest control. Presence of the fly in Florida was confirmed on April 11. Its importance is demonstrated by the way money and men have been quickly mobilized for the battle. Funds to the amount of $4,250,000 have been made immediately available by the Federal Government in addition to Florida State funds. The secretaries of the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States plant quarantine and control administration, and the United States Bureau of Entomology are energetically engaged in the campaign. Men highly trained and experienced in campaigns against the Mexican fruity fly in the Rio Grande section, men experienced in campaigning against the Mediterranean fruit fly in the Hawaiian Islands and in Spain, and others with experience in combatting similar pests, have been transferred to Florida with no delay. W. D. Newell, Florida plant commissioner, himself an outstanding authority on plant pest control, has welcomed the co-operation of outside a lack of co-ordinated effort or determination to eradicate and prevent spread of this fruit fly in Florida. As we see it, this is well taken care of, but the danger lies in the fact that it is possible that some fruits may have been shipped already this season, possibly some last season, which may have carried infestation to other sections of the United States which do not prohibit the introduction of Florida fruits. Ahese areas in other states if infested, are now possible centers of infestation unknown to us. California, fortunately, is protected by long standing quarantines. It has three quarantines against fruits most likely to be hosts. Our citrus canker quarantine has prohibited the importation of all citrus fruits. The citrus melanose quarantine likewise prohibits their importation. The Oriental fruit moth quarantine has prohibited practically and stone fruits and pomaceous fruits. Other possible host carriers of the Mediterranean fruit fly have been almost automatically excluded because production of similar commodities in California prevents shipment to this state on account of high transportation charges. Four county horticultural commissioners of California, T. D. Urbahns of Sutter county, A. H. Call of Ventura, H. J. Ryan of Los Angeles and A. E. Bottel of Riverside have gone to the scene of action in Florida in order to render assistance in the battle, to learn more about the fly and to gain experience and eradication work. Plant quarantine inspection stations on the Pacific Highway near Hornbrook and on the Redwood Highway near Crescent City were organized May 1. Inspectors experienced in the operation of this type of station are being sent to each of these points. These stations will be operated primarily for the purpose of preventing the entry into this state by means of automobile transportation of any Florida citrus fruits, or other fruits which are in violation of the California quarantine regulations or which may be the means of introducing into California the Mediterranean fruit fly or any other serious agricultural insect or disease pest. Grain Growers to Hold Field Day By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Grain growers of Irvine, El Toro and Capistrano districts, in co-operation with the Agricultural Extension Service, are preparing an educational tour to the variety test plots and grain fields of interest on May 29. This event has become an annual affair of the Grain Growers Department of the Farm Bureau, since it is an occasion when grain growers of the country can get together to discuss their mutual problems of variety selection, culture and harvesting methods. Variety testing and selection has been progressing for several years, with the result that definite recommendations can be made along this line. Seed treatment for smut control was carried on extensively this year. Fields with treated and untreated seed will be visited to get an idea of the effectiveness of the fungicide used. Announcement of the date is made in advance to enable grain growers to hold this date open. Wandering Woman Seeking Daughter Deputies from the office of Sheriff Sam Jernigan and attaches in the Orange County hospital have made little progress in tracing the wanderings or in locating friends or relatives of a 70-year-old woman who entered the home of Mrs. James H. Sewell, 806 South Sycamore street, Friday afternoon, stating that she was looking for her daughter. The woman, who gave the name of Woodall, told deputies Humiston and Forgy, when they answered a call to the Sycamore street address, where the strange actions and irrational conversation of Mrs. Woodall had caused the Swells some alarm, that she had been put on a train in Los Angeles that day, but did not know where she was supposed to go. She maintained, however, that she was trying to find her daughter, but did not give the daughter's name or tell where she was supposed to live. Attaches in the hospital where she to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him." A passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," present these words of Mary Baker Eddy: "It is only by acknowledging the supremacy of spirit, which annuls the claims of matter, that mortals can lay off mortality and find the indissoluable spiritual link which establishes man forever in the Divine likeness, inseparable from his creator." Contribution To Endowment Fund The endowment fund of the Medical School of the University of Southern California has been augmented by a gift of $10,000 from Dr. Wilbur A. Beckett of Los Angeles, according to announcement made yesterday by Harry J. Bauer, chairman of the semi-centennial commission. Recently Dr. Beckett's father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Beckett contributed $100,000 to this fund for endowing the work of the medical unit of the University. In turning over this gift to the University authorities, Dr. Wilbur A. Beckett expressed his great pleasure in being able thus to help his chosen profession and told of his satisfaction that the medical profession of Southern California was uniting to insure the development of a school of medicine that would be comparable to the older schools of the east and middle west. "I am particularly happy in making this gift, since it permits me at one and the same time to help my chosen profession and the school where I received my training." Dr. Beckett wrote. "It is fortunate for Los Angeles and for the physicians in Los Angeles that the University of Southern California NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE HOLDERS Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the share holders of THE SAVINGS, LOAN, AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION OF ANAHEIM, a corporation will be held at the office has reopened its Medical School. This is one respect in which the educational facilities of the southwest have been deficient," Dr. Beckett stated, "Only a physician knows what it means to the profession to have a medical school in its midst, in stimulating medical investigation and research, in keeping us informed of developments in medical science, in bringing to us leaders who will themselves have a part in promoting the science of medicine."

Cut up the rhubarb in inch pieces to make 2 quarts. Cover with about three-fourths quart of sugar and let stand for an hour or so. Crush one quart of strawberries after hulling and washing, and mix with another three-fourths quart of sugar. Then combine with the rhubarb. Heat over a low flame until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and cook quickly. stirring frequently to prevent burning. Cook for about 30 minutes or until fairly thick. Pour into hot sterilized jars, cover and seal. Waffles served with ccrushed strawberries make a good dessert for this time of the year. Add cream if you like, plain or whipped. And sweeten the waffle batter a little more than usual.
