Ben Franklin’s Place is Secure 226th Anniversary of Great American Remembered During Tribute to Washington On January 17th occurred the 226th anniversary of a great American who should not be forgotten amid the nation's tribute to George Washington this year; for this noted American was not only a glory to our history but without him Washington might not have been able to achieve our independence. This great American was Benjamin Franklin, who became, next to George Washington, the best known American of the 18th Century. Wherever enlightened men gathered during Franklin's lifetime, they accounted him foremost in philosophy, politics, and diplomacy, and to this day his name is secure in history as that of a pioneer in science. Franklin was one of the most versatile men of our history. His clear thinking and good common sense won him fame everywhere. As for his winning personality, it proved a tremendous asset to the American cause. The final victories of Washington on the battlefield would never have been possible but for Franklin's skill in the field of diplomacy and his ultimate winning of the French nation to America's side. Sets Out Alone Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, on January 17, 1705, the United States George Washington bicentennial Commission emends us. His father wanted him to learn the trade of candle-making, an occupation that he disliked so much that he threatened to revolt. To forestall his running away to sea, the boy Franklin was apprenticed to his half-brother, James a printer; and here Franklin's rapid self-education got its start. In his brother's shop he met intelligent people, he eagerly read the best books, and he soon tried his hand at writing for his brother's newspaper, called the "first sensational sheet in America."

His father wanted him to learn the trade of candlemaking, an occupation that he disliked so much that he threatened to revolt. To forestall his running away to sea, the boy Franklin was apprenticed to his half-brother, James, a printer; and here Franklin's rapid self-education got its start. In his brother's shop he met intelligent people, he eagerly read the best books, and he soon tried his hand at writing for his brother's newspaper, called the "first sensational sheet in America." Quarreling with his brother, Franklin set out for Philadelphia at the age of 17 to make his own way. There he soon caught the attention of Governor Keith at whose suggestion he went to London. There, in spite of many hardships, he soon obtained employment and his agreeable personality brought him many influential friends. One of them, a Quaker merchant named Denham, offered Franklin a job in a store that he planned to open in Philadelphia. Within a short time Denham died and Franklin again was without a job. "Poor Richard" Beginnings With Hugh Meredith he established a printing shop in Philadelphia and in ten years he had made it the most important business of its kind in the country. Next he bought the Pennsylvania Gazette, which soon gained a circulation of 10,000 and became one of the outstanding papers of the time. In this paper he began those pithy maxims to be gathered under the title of "Poor Richard's Almanac," which lives today in lasting fame. Meanwhile Franklin's interest and activities had broadened in every direction. He founded the American Philosophical Society, organized the first fire company in Philadelphia, and became the city's postmaster and clerk of the Pennsylvania Assembly. His interest in science also developed, and he invented a stove and began those experiments in electricity which have made his name a household word in the scientific world. Every schoolboy knows the story of Franklin's suspicion that the lightningbolt was simply a larger specimen of the spark he drew from a Leyden jar. He proved the likeness via his historic experiment of the kite and the key during a thunder storm. Franklin's diplomatic feats make too long a list for a newspaper column, but it was who first sought to bind the Colonies together in union. He performed many saving services for the Coonies before the Revolution, and during that struggle his influence in France proved the factor that turned the Revolution to victory for America. Even at 81, Franklin's deeds for his country were not yet ended, for in 1787 he performed the culminating service of his long and great career with the fitting act of becoming a member of the convention that wrote the Constitution. Throughout his life he was a devoted Relief Plan Gets Acid Test of Trial (Continued From Page One) the holder. Working capital for two five-day weeks for 25 men has been guaranteed the plan, and the money now is on its credit at the bank. Virtually all independent stores and the Alpha Beta markets of the city approached for the plan wholeheartedly agreed to it. They stated that since they can use certificates as part pay (the employee in no case discounting) and that money thus spent is sure to be spent in the city, it will work out to everybody's advantage. Only a few stores have refused to work with the plan. Attempts for legal rulings to permit the city to accept the certificates in lieu of cash for payment of water and light, and further explanations of the plan's working for the Southern Counties Gas company, telephone company and other corporations indicate that the plan may become even more widespread than at first indicated. May Enlarge Plan As a natural consequence of hiring only men needing employment for support of their families, grocers, meat markets and clothiers will receive the first certificates which in turn can be used by employees in purchasing from any of about 35 firms in the city, or in payment of wholesale bills, as by a meat market to the Southern Meat company. To illustrate, the Southern Meat company can use the certificate to purchase a tire, or any other needed article in Anaheim. Members of the board of control state that if the plan proves successful, its scope can be enlarged. Under no circumstances, however, will more certificates be issued than money in the bank to cover their full face value. Drive in Market, N. Los Angeles at Adele. Druggists: F. S. Arnold, 300 W.

Throughout his life he was a devoted admirer of George Washington, and the friendship of these two men is one of the fairest pages in early American history. On his death, on April 17, 1790, Franklin willed his cane to Washington, with the famous words: "My fine crab-tree walking stick, with a gold head curiously wrought in the form of a cap of liberty. I give to my friend and the friend of mankind, General Washington... If it were a secret, he has merited it and would become it." California Veterans Investing in Homes A total of $49,556,692 has been invested in homes and farms for ex-service men by the California Veterans' Welfare Board in its nine years of operation, according to advices received by James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the American Legion, from George M. Stout, secretary of the board. The first bond issue of $10,000,000 for the purchases was voted in 1921. Since then two other issues of $20,000,000 each were voted by the people of the state, making $50,000,000 the total available during the period. This amount has now been practically expended with a long list of veterans still waiting for loans to purchase homes and farms. The largest amount invested during any one year was in 1931 when property valued at $15,035,734 was purchased.
