Lay School Body In Final Report Lists 10 Suggestions in Third and Last Release for Governor and Legislature In its third and final report on the study of educational problems in California, the State Lay Commission Monday afternoon of this week, meeting in Belmont, urged a survey of the state to determine the possibilities of school mergers looking to a larger unit of administration, with the purpose to equalize the funds available to secure for children in the rural districts a greater measure of educational advantages. The commission, made up of prominent educators and laymen of the state, also recommend: 1. Public hearings be held for consideration of school budgets before their adoption, the county superintendent being required to present his approval or criticisms of the budget. 2. Careful survey of thirty years of California school costs. 3. A larger unit, with suggestions for steps towards its practical attainment. 4. Changes in procedure for approval of school building costs. 5. Issuance of bonds for large non-recurring expenditures; taxes for recurring expenditures. 6. Equalization fund for school support; an dthat, as a prerequisite, there be an amendment to the constitution permitting its practical application. 7. Extension on a new basis of the principal of equalization of school support. 8. Blanket liability insurance be taken by state at expense of individual districts. 9. Greater flexibility, but no change in method of support of kindergartens. 10. Careful check on adult educational work, with courses other than basic elementary classes be made self-supporting. The recommendations listed above, each gone into in detail for the governor and the legislature, embody the re- 7. Extension on a new basis of the principal of equalization of school support. 8. Blanket liability insurance be taken by state at expense of individual districts. 9. Greater flexibility, but no change in method of support of kindergartens. 10. Careful check on adult educational work, with courses other than basic elementary classes be made self-supporting. The recommendations listed above, each gone into in detail for the governor and the legislature, embody the results of a year's intensive study of public school problems as viewed from the standpoint of persons not professionally employed in school work. Members of the commission are: Mrs. Susan M. Dorsey, Los Angeles, chairman; Arthur J. Brown, Marshall Demotte, Samuel Leask, James W. Mullen, Mrs. Maynard Force Thayer, Mrs. Frederick C. Turner, Julius Wangenheim, and Mrs. Julian C. Whitman. Christian Science Lesson-Sermon A Lesson-Sermon on "Life" will be delivered Sunday, in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scripture selections in the Lesson-Sermon presents the following exhortations from Deuteronomy: "All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers . . . And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewst not; neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Being is holiness, harmony, immortality. It is already proved that a knowledge of this, even in small degree, will uplift the physical and moral standard of mortals, will increase longevity, will purify and elevate character. Thus progress will finally destroy all error, and bring immortality to light." Richfield Carries On Under New Plan Richfield will continue to carry on. The receivership is one in equity—not in bankruptcy. Its object is to continue the Richfield Oil Company of California as a leading major oil company and is a "friendly action" designed to improve the financial structure of the Company and has no effect what- as its theme, the 43rd annual convention of the California Newspaper Publishers association, of which Anaheim Gazette is a member, was held at Stockton from January 15 to 18. It was the association's second meeting since it became a state-wide organization in 1929. Business sessions of the convention, which followed strictly to the theme "Know Your Own Newspaper," were designed to get every worker on newspapers in California—from the printers devil and copy kid to the general manager or publisher to "know his own newspaper" as the biggest most influential, and most useful industry in the community. Plans were divided at the Stockton meeting to "sell" this knowledge to the general public with whom the newspaper man comes in contact. Too many people, including newspaper people themselves, take their home town newspaper for granted and the publishers of California's daily and weekly newspapers aim to correct this evil. Meetings devoted to business matters and round-table discussions of newspaper problems were held Friday and Saturday in the Stockton Civic auditorium. At the session Saturday afternoon, H. R. Judah, co-publisher of the Santa Cruz Daily News, was elected president of the C. N. P. A. to succeed Ford A. Chatters of the Lindsay Gazette. Daily Radio Talks Interest Farmers 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 January 26, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service, cooperating with radio station KFI, as follows: January 26—"Citrus Fertilizer." V. F. Blanchard, Farm Advisor, Ventura County. January 27—"Truck Crop Question Box." F. H. Ernst, Assistant Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County. January 28—"Production of Winter Vegetables in San Diego County." R. R. McLean, Agricultural Commissioner, San Diego County. January 29—"Can you Utilize the Wood of California-Grown Walnut." Woodbridge Metcalf, Extension Specialist in Forestry, University of California: January 30—"Citrus Question Box." W. H. Williams, Assistant Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County. WILD FOWL REFUGE Sportsmen in this section are rejoicing over the establishment of a wild-fowl refuge at the south end of the Salton sea. The last obstacle has been removed by entering into contracts by the Federal Government for the purchase of the privately owned lands that are interspersed in the area comprised by the executive order created as its theme, the 43rd annual convention of the California Newspaper Publishers association, of which Anaheim Gazette is a member, was held at Stockton from January 15 to 18.

The receivership is one in equity—not in bankruptcy. Its object is to continue the Richfield Oil Company of California as a leading major oil company and is a "friendly action" designed to improve the financial structure of the Company and has no effect whatsoever on the present service to the public and Richfield dealers. To the motorists, who have bought and appreciated Richfield products, is pledged rigid adherence to the high standards of quality that have made the "Gasoline of Power" the outstanding motor fuel, according to William C. McDuffie, receiver in equity. "China" Is Topic For Missionary Meeting First Presbyterian Church Missionary Society members, 50 in number, attended the January meeting held at the home of Mrs. H. A. Johnston on South Los Angeles street, where "China" was the topic for discussion. Mrs. Johnston was assisted by co-hostesses Mrs. F. A. Day, Mrs. Alice Bruns, Mrs. Mauer, Mrs. L. E. Miller and Mrs. George Baker. Mrs. S. S. Collins of Yorba Linda discussed present-day affairs of China; Mrs. A. C. Pearson talked on missionary news of the country; Mrs. Thomas H. Walker told of needs of missionary fields as a result of the world-wide depression. Honored Guest Mrs. Florence Phillips of Los Angeles described her recent visit to China and Jerusalem. Mrs. F. A. Altenow, president, presided, while Mrs. Doescher led in devotionals. Election of officers will be held February 19. So-called progressive leaders shun the idea of a third party, indicating that they think the Republican and Democratic band wagons are good vehicles to ride on even if they do climb down the day after election. WILD FOWL REFUGE Sportsmen in this section are rejoicing over the establishment of a wild-fowl refuge at the south end of the Salton sea. The last obstacle has been removed by entering into contracts by the Federal Government for the purchase of the privately owned lands that are interspersed in the area comprised by the executive order creating the refuge. The total area embraced for this purpose now amounts to 24,715 acres. The final act establishing this "safety zone" for migratory birds is the culmination of several years work on the part of the Izank Walton League of America, its various branches in California, various civic and recreation organizations, the outing bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California, and many leading sportsmen of California. Inspector Nyboe Issues Four Permits Building permits, two for new structures and two for remodeling and additions, were granted Monday by Inspector R. Nyboe, for a total construction cost of $4450.

One-Tenth of Quota for Red Cross Raised Officials in charge of the Red Cross drought relief fund in Anaheim reported Tuesday evening that receipts had climbed to $111.50, slightly over one-tenth of the $1,000 quota set for this city. Residents of this district were urged to contribute at once for the emergency feeding of distitute families in the drought areas.

Money Values Of Human Body Parts How State Industrial Accident Commission "Standardizes" Men You may not know it, but you big toe is worth $1,500, while your little toe is worth only $350. Your right thumb is worth $1,000 in cold, hard cash, your index finger is worth $800, your middle finger $600, ring finger $600, and little finger $500. In other words these are the amounts paid by the California Industrial Accident Commission to the "standard man" for loss of those members of his anatomy, in addition to hospital and medical attendance during the period of treatment. Dincent Value for Each Part Each part of the human body has a definite value or worth based upon an intricate basis of calculations. For example, if a workman employed in a California industry loses his right arm he will receive $6,000 as a maximum, in addition to hospitalization and medical treatment. The left arm has a value of $5,600, the right leg or left leg, $5,000, and loss of both legs, $6,000 payable over a period of 240 weeks, followed by a weekly pension for life, depending upon age and earning ability. Value of Hands and Eyes Your right hand has a maximum value of $4,500, and the left, $4,000. Loss of either eye would bring $2,500. If your head is amputated—well, you won't receive a cent, but your widow will get $5,000, a maximum of $20.83 per week, in addition to funeral expenses up to $150. For total disability the state fund provides for weekly payments for 240 weeks amounting to 65 per cent of the workman's average weekly earnings, and thereafter a lifetime pension amounting to 40 per cent of his weekly earnings. Safest Drivers 45-49 Years Old State Records Reveal Fewest Accidents Among Those of That Age California's safest automobile drivers are found in the age group between 45 and 49 years, according to a survey completed by Victor W. Killick, chief investigator in the state motor vehicle department. LUNCHEON AND BRIDGE PARTY Mrs. H. K. Knoph, who with her sister Mrs. Robert Clark, is spending two weeks at Lake Norconian club was the hostess on Tuesday at a delightful luncheon and bridge party at the club house at which members of Las Amigas Study Club were guests. Luncheon was served at a long table with center piece of pink orchid and yellow sweet peas. At each cover was placed a dalinity basket of yellow rosebuds. Mrs. Knoph was beautifully gowned in plum colored velvet with shoulder bouquet of gardenias. The afternoon was devoted to bridge at which Miss K. P. Siler Named Oldsmobile Agent Formal opening and house-warming for K. P. Siler's Oldsmobile agency at 336 South Los Angeles street, Anaheim, was held Saturday, January 17. Mr. Siler, who for years handled Oldsmobile franchise in Centralia, Washington, has renovated the building for the opening. "We will stress service to Oldsmobile owners, fairness in treatment, and other business principles to which every person is entitled," Mr. Siler said. Mills College Head Talks at Santa Ana An outstanding event for all those interested in international relationships is the address by Dr. Aurella H. Reinhardt, president of Mills College, to be given on Saturday evening, January 21th, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Y. W. C. A. rooms at Santa Ana. Dr. Reinhardt will speak under the auspices of the Orange County branch of the American Association of University Women, and her talk is open to the people without charge. For four years Dr. Reinhardt was national president of the American Association of University Women, and since 1927 has been national chairman of the committee on international relations for that organization. In the general Federation of Women's clubs she was chairman of the department of education, and she is at this time a member of the White House conference on child health and protection. What Dentists Found In School Mouths Anaheim dentists who recently gave a day of free service to looking into the mouths of grammar school children, report that there are only 20 percent of the children who do not need dental attention. The remaining 80 percent have cavities, broken teeth and their molars need cleaning. Each school was visited by one or two dentists who after examinations reported conditions to each child. 45-49 Years Old State Records Reveal Fewest Accidents Among Those of That Age California's safest automobile drivers are found in the age group between 45 and 49 years, according to a survey completed by Victor W. Killick, chief statistician in the state motor vehicle division. State records show there are 229,858 licensed drivers between these ages and that this group show approximately 73 motor vehicle accidents per hundred thousand drivers each month. This is a lower ratio than for any other five year age group. "There is considerable significance in these figures," Killick declared. In my opinion they prove that special kinds of examinations are needed, given according to ages of those taken them. At present we have but one general examination, taken by all applicants for licenses, no matter what their ages may be. But the ratio of accidents in the different age groups differs radically. The examination now given is apparently well suited for the 45 to 49 group, but is it the proper examination for the age group around 19 years, where twice as many accidents can be expected among the same number of youths as among those in the older group? Community Industrial Directors Will Meet Annual meeting of the Community Industrial Land Co., Inc., will be held February 4, according to Secretary George W. Reid's announcement this week. The meeting's purpose is to hear the annual report of the secretary and treasurer, and to elect a board of directors and officers for the coming year.

Stephenson Tells of County History Terry Stephenson, Santa Ana postmaster, former editor, and well known Orange county historian, entertainingly traced the history of this county from the time of Cabrillo's discovery of this coast in 1542, down to the twentieth century, at the luncheon-meeting of the Anahela Kiwanis club Tuesday.

Y.; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Royer Estate Will Develop Pythias Hall Anaheim Investment company, owned by the J. C.

After the death of Mrs. Brunet, the will provides for the estate to be divided equally among seven sons, three of whom live in the southern portion of California. Announcement that mail order catalogues next spring will show price reductions of from twenty to forty per cent ought to get a good laugh out of the free traders who tried to kid us into the belief that the new tariff law would increase the cost of living. President Hoover, having handled a Mississippi flood, should be able to do something with Congress. Unemployment For Los Angeles Given Director of Census Shows 3.6 Per Cent of Total Population Is Looking for Work The director of the census announced this week the unemployment returns for Los Angeles by classes and sex. The unemployment inquiry, which was made last April as a part of the population census, covered all persons usually working at a gainful occupation who were not at work on the day preceding the enumerator's call. These returns are presented in seven classes, based on the worker's status, such as "out of a job," "having a job, but on lay-off," "unable to work," etc. The most significant group, designated in the tables as Class A, is made up of persons out of a job, able to work, and looking for a job. These persons numbered 41,489, forming 3.6 per cent of the total population. The total included 35,357 males and 9,123 females. The next most important group, designated Class B, comprises persons having jobs who are on lay-off without pay, excluding those sick or voluntarily idle. In this class there were 6,438 persons, 3,209 males and 1,229 females. The remaining returns were grouped into five classes, as follows: Class C, persons out of a job and unable to work, 2,900; Class D, persons having jobs but idle on account of sickness or disability, 2,858; Class E, persons out of a job and not looking for work, 2,012; Class F, persons having jobs but voluntarily idle, without pay, 1,439; Class G, persons having jobs and drawing pay, through not at work (on vacation, etc.), 1,202. Exchange Ships 75.46% of Navel Crop to Jan. 1 During November and December of the 1930-31 season 75.46 per cent of the California orange, lemon and grape-fruit shipments were marketed by the California Fruit Growers Exchange, compared with 74.94 per cent for the same period last year. Over 80 per cent of the Central and Northern California Navel orange crop was marketed by the Exchange during these two months.

Over 80 per cent of the Central and Northern California Navel orange crop was marketed by the Exchange during these two months. The increase in exchange percentages of orange and grapefruit shipments is largely due to increased membership. 1930 Fruit Production Large—Returns Small California's production of fresh fruits last year was approximately 35 per cent greater than in 1929, though returns were estimated at 24 per cent less, according to a report from the State Department of Agriculture. The report shows that the tonnage of principal fruit crops last year was 4,757,146 tons, a gain of approximately 1,224,000 tons over the previous year, compared with the 1929 figure of $255,- but the value was only $194,579,000 916,000.
