Authorized Publicity MITCHELL GIVEN STRONG BACKING Many Local People Interest Selves in County School Head's Return to Office Considerable support is being lined up in all parts of the county behind the candidacy of R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, who is seeking re-election to the office he is now holding. Inquiries revealed recently. Though Mitchell himself has done little campaigning, not wishing to bring his office into the sphere of politics, his many friends throughout the county, including school trustees, principals teachers, have interested themselves in his candidacy. Important Office It is pointed out by Mitchell's supporters that the office of the county superintendent of schools is one of the most important in the county service, for the reason that it includes so many different lines of work. It is technical and legal, in a sense, for the office is called upon daily to interpret the school laws of the state. Moreover, it is the business office for all the receipts and expenditures of not less than fifty-nine separate school districts in the county, running into several million dollars, which dollars, which must be carefully checked and accounted for on prescribed forms. All the school budgets of the county must be checked up and approved by the county superintendent before they are filed with the supervisors. Experience Valuable Furthermore, his supporters say, the county superintendent is called upon daily for advice regarding construction and repairs of school buildings, proposed land issues, school sites, transportation, teachers and school children, which can only be given by one who is thoroughly familiar not only with the school laws, but with the conditions existing in each school district. Another accomplishment which should carry weight with the voters is the consolidated system of purchasing supplies for the rural grammar school districts, initiated and adopted by Mitchell, which has saved the taxpayers thousands of dollars each year.

The Federal-State Cooperative Crop Reporting Service finds much to be "obligant over," judging from their semi-monthly survey. Tomatoes in practically all sections are "looking exceptionally well," the report said. Western bight has taken considerable toll of plants in southern counties and in the San Joaquin Valley, but in other sections vines are making good growth. Canners anticipate yields of approximately seven an done half tons to the acre on state acreage, which is in excess of the record yield of 1929. Melon quality has been very good so far, although cold nights have held back maturing of the crop. Colusa county's average is just starting. Peak of the cantaloupe harvest has passed in the Turlock district. Honeydews are starting slowly in the San Joaquin Valley, with vines heavily set with melons and good yields anticipated. A new patches show aphis, but the general quality promises to be excellent. Lettuce in the Central Coastal counties is still below par, with little promise of improved quality before August 29. Imperial Valley lettuce growers are guarding on their plantings for the coming season, with most of them announcing they will maintain the past season's average or increase it. Plantings for all lettuce in the Central Coastal areas have started, with generally good stands, and will be completed by August 15. Some changes in proposed plantings are seen, with increased areas of beans and tomatoes tending to hold the Sainas-Watsonville district lettuce futures very close to last year's figures. In the San Fernando Valley the acreage is moving from Van Nuys to the LAW IS GIVING SATISFACTION Gin-Marriage Law is Uphold by the Russell Sage Foundation California will never do away with its "gin marriage law," requiring days' notice of intent to wed, if it accepts the recommendation of the Rt. Sage Foundation, made to Governor or Young this week. Instead, the Foundation believes, time of advance notice should be extended from 3 to 5 days. California now the only state with the 3-day limit while Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Wisconsin have 5 days as the requirement. "It's no harder to get a marriage license than a fishing license or driving license in most states," the Foundation's report said. Only two states—the union, Florida and New Mexico—have no statutory disqualification marriage. "In the 46 other states feeble-mindedness is the most general bar," the survey continued. "Among these states only five—Alabama, Arizona, Colorado." ACCIDENTS The most dangerous occupation, according to an industrial survey of New York, is window-cleaning. The chance of accident to a window-cleaner is nearly nine times as great as that which the artisan making fine machinery and instruments runs, the latter being the least hazardous occupation. Everybody who has watched the window-cleaners at work on the outside of a skyscraper has shuddered at the thought of what would happen if the worker's safety-belt broke while he was cleaning the thirtieth-story windows. The belts do break, occasionally, or the cleaner's foot slips and he falls to his death. Window-sash made with a pivoted interior frame which can be rotated so that both sides of the glass can be cleaned from inside are used in a very few buildings. They cost a little more than the ordinary kind, but in a completely civilized world their use will be compulsory. FINGERPRINTS Every reader of detective stories knows that two individuals never leave the same sort of fingerprints, and that the fingerprint records of the great police departments are organized so that the imprint of any known criminal can be referred to at once. Few realize that in the Department Justice at Washington is maintained the largest international collection of fingerprint records in the world, comprising photographs of the fingermarks of more than 2,100,000 persons who have been accused or suspected of crime. Imperial Valley lettuce growers are goring on their plantings for the coming season, with most of them announcing they will maintain the past season's average or increase it. Plantings for all lettuce in the Central Coastal ureas have started, with generally good stands, and will be completed by August 15. Some changes in proposed plantings are seen, with increased areas of beans and tomatoes tending to hold the Salinas-Watsonville district lettuce futures very close to last year's figures in the San Fernando Valley the acreage is moving from Van Nuys to the Wensmouth area. Onion crops through the state are a good condition, with yields probably averaging as well as last year at. Harvest has started on the southern acreage and is practically completed in western county. Merced and Fresno counties will start harvest this week and some of the early Delta acreage has begun harvest. Daily Agriculture Program Beginning each day at 12 p.m. and continuing 10 minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning August 18, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, cooperating with Radio Station KFI as follows: August 18—"Infectious Bronchitis"—A New Bulletin by George Kernohan, C. V. Castle, Assistant Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County. August 19—"Why Figs Drop."—Circular by Ira J. Condit, College of Agriculture.

Blanchard, Farm Advisor, Ventura County. A great many of ouf professional liberals in America seem to think that all prisoners in American jails should be released but you won't hear many of them protesting against the shipping of convict made goods from Russia to America. It is true that in time water will wear away the hardest stone but it takes something stronger to wear away your stomach. Every reader of detective stories knows that two individuals never leave the same sort of fingerprints, and that the fingerprint records of the great police departments are organized so that the imprint of any known criminal can be referred to at once. Few realize that in the Department Justice at Washington is maintained the largest international collection of fingerprint records in the world, comprising photographs of the fingermarks of more than 2,100,000 persons who have been accused or suspected of crime. Some have proposed that every child's fingerprints be taken when he first enters school, and preserved as a permanent record of his identity. There are many cases in which such records would be invaluable, but we are lax about such things. Half of the states do not even keep a record of births. BOOKS Not more than three or four perfect copies are known of the first book printed from movable type. Gutenberg's Bible. The United States of America now owns the finest example of this precious volume. The last session of Congress appropriated $1,000,000 with which to buy the Volkheim collection of rare books, for the Library of Congress, which contains not only this famous Bible but more than 3,000 other splendid examples of the work of the earliest printers. It has been estimated that it would cost more than $5,000,000 to duplicate this collection, if duplication were possible. A thousand years from now men will point to these books and say: "Here are the seeds of our civilization. It began when man learned how to duplicate knowledge by printing and made it free to all sorts and conditions of ment." RADIUM The world's most precious metal, worth $2,000,000 an ounce, now comes exclusively from the Belgian Congo, in Africa. Originally discovered in pitchblende ores in the Joachimsthal, Austria, radium was for a while mined commercially in Utah, but the discovery of a bed of very rich uranium ore in Africa has put the other producers out of business and enriched the prospectors who made the lucky strike. The cost of radium is due to the difficulty of extracting it from the ore and the danger in handling it. Radium's value is due to the fact that it is constantly changing into other substances, and in the process gives off rays and emanations. These have effects upon the human system similar to those of the x-ray. Its use in medicine is still in its infancy, but commercially, as the basis of luminous paint for the hands of watches and clocks, air navigation instruments and the like, the demand is large. A single ounce is enough to supply this industrial demand for several years, but no amount of radium as large as one ounce has ever been assembled in one place.

COLOR In the Middle Ages the rich merchants of Venice spent so much money in painting their gondolas in brilliant colors, trying to outshine each other, that an edict was passed by the Council of Ten that no other color but black might be used on these floating vehicles of the Venetian canals. And all gondolas have been painted black for five hundred years. Some have wondered whether there might not be a revival of the old Venetian rivalry in the guady colors of modern automobiles. The matter is one of personal taste. Conservative people and those who do not court attention will always prefer black or plain blue, while the spirit of youth and modernity will continue to express itself in gay green, yellow and red cars. Expect Honeymooners To Return on Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Joe B. Kulla, who have been spending their honeymoon at Santa Catalina island, were expected by friends to return to Anthelm late Saturday afternoon or Sunday to take up their residence on North Lemon street. Mr. and Mrs. Kulla were married at the Diana Ball room in Los Angeles Sunday evening. The bridal party was dressed formally, while the 200 guests were in informal attire. Mrs. Kulla was Miss Ann Carey of Los Angeles. Immediately after the wedding the couple left for the Magic Isle for a week's honeymoon. In the absence of Mr. Kulla, manager of Karl's Shoe Store at 105 West Center street, M. Berkovitz of Los Angeles "pinch hit" for the groom at the local store. Anaheim, Calif., Aug. 14, 1980 IS GIVING SATISFACTION Mage Law is Upheld the Russell Sage Foundation will never do away with marriage law," requiring 3 of intent to wed, if it accommodation of the Rush foundation, made to Governors week. The Foundation believes, the advance notice should be ex-3 to 5 days. California is by state with the 3-day limit,ecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and have 5 days as the require-harder to get a marriage in a fishing license or dog most states," the Founda-t said. Only two states of Florida and New Mexico statutory disqualification for 6 other states feeble-minded the most general bar," the nuued. "Among these states, Alabama, Arizona, Colorado and Tennessee—allow the feeble-minded to marry. "The next most general disqualification is insanity, which 40 states include in their laws, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut and Louisiana are the exceptions." Physical unfitness is a less usual bar to marriage. Six states—Alabama, Louisiana, North Dakota, Oregon, Wisconsin and Wyoming—require the male candidate to present a medical certificate of his physical condition. In only five states—North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Wisconsin and Wyoming—are feeble-mindedness, insanity and physical unfitness all specified as disqualifications. Thirty-six states require neither the prospective bride or bridegroom to make personal application for the license. In fact, in five of these states the statutes expressly provide that neither need apply in person, while the other seven—California, Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island, require both candidates to apply in person. Hunting Trio Back With Fish and Deer L. N. Wisser, Carl Zimmer and Rodger Dutton returned Thursday of last week from a two-week sojourn in the Monterey county mountains where they caught limits in rainbow trout, and brought back one deer killed by the party. "Fishing was plentiful and very good." Wisser stated, "but hunting wasn't very good. There seemed to be plenty of deer but they stayed in the brushies and couldn't be located. Reports from other camps in that vicinity bore out this observation. Eldo R.
