Committees Plunge Into Project of Reclamation of Sewage in County Ralph McFadden and Roland Flaherty Elected Permanent Chairman and Secretary, Respectively; Sub-committees on City Contact, Engineering and Finance Working out Problems Three sub-committees this week plunged into details of engineering, financing and city contact for successful completion of the proposed county sewage reclamation project, following permanent organization of the committee last week. Chairman Ralph J. McFadden of Placentia and Secretary Roland D. Flaherty were elected permanent officers of the group. Sub-committees and their duties follow: City Contact: R. J. McFadden chairman; C. A. Palmer, Olive; William Wallop, Anaheim. This committee faces the most difficult problem of all, in fully informing various communities of the project in such a manner as to prevent any group protesting itself out of the district after action has been started. In this respect, the unfavorable action of Fullerton is considered premature, and efforts will be made to get that city to reconsider in the light of such arguments as saving of water sewage, and cost of enlargement of the outfall sewer within a few years. Sets Tentative Bundary Engineering: Walter Humphreys, Fullerton, chairman; J. L. McBride, Santa Ana; C. C. Bonebrake, Orange; E. E. Seward, Anaheim; George Wells, Santa Ana. This program will take up probably boundary lines and study engineering problems developing will start out on the tentative basis of boundary lines outlined in assembly bill of 1861, which provides for stopping waste water in the Santa Ana basin through creation of a district. This tentative plan covers an area with an assessed valuation of $122,000,000, starting in the Santa Ana canyon, follows both sides of river and spreads out in the valley on the west to Yorba Linda, por- Exchange Mails Insurance Checks Total of $38,290 Paid Out For Blanket Compensation policies on Collective Plan Checks aggregating $38,290 are being distributed to the growers participating in the blanket compensation insurance policy which the California Fruit Growers Exchange carries in their behalf with the state compensation insurance fund, a strictly non-profit organization. This points out Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the Sunkist organization, is another saving made possible by collective endeavor. For the policy year being adjusted by the fund, which ended March 1, 1931, the earned premium was slightly more than $100,000. Loss experience, or the amount paid out in settlement of accidents, represents 49 percent, dividend returned growers 38 percent and overhead 13 percent. In the three years of the existence of this policy, growers received as return dividends a total of $101,941. Santa Ana; C. C. Bonebrake, Orange; E. E. Seward, Anaheim; George Wells, Santa Ana. This program will take up probably boundary lines and study engineering problems developing will start out on the tentative basis of boundary lines outlined in assembly bill of 1861, which provides for stopping waste water in the Santa Ana basin through creation of a district. This tertative plan covers an area with an asessed valuation of $122,000,000, starting in the Santa Ana canyon, follows both sides of river and spreads out in the valley on the west to Yorba Linda, portion of Fullerton and Buena Park, reaching Coyote creek and following that stream to the ocean near Seal Beach. On the east, the line encompases Santa-Ana River Valley irrigation district, including Olive, Orange Santa Ana, Tustin and a part of Irvine ranch, thence along Newport avenue to the Ocean. Financing: Dr. D. D. Waynick, Anaheim, chairman; Ross Shafer, Tustin; John Price, Anaheim; Albert Snyder, Garden Grove. This committee will prepare cost set-ups, cost estimates based on assessed valuation, augmented by statistics of the R. F. Goudey sewage report. Meets January 28. Before beginning its work the com­mittee went on record as favoring the pro­ject on motion of Ross Shafer of Tustin amended by Walter Humphreys of Fullerton, as it being: "the sense of this group that sewage waste in Orange county should be reclaimed and that it is the purpose of this group to pursue studies of the economic feasibility and the best financial set-up for accomplis­hing reclamation." Next meeting of the committee will be held January 28, with regular meetings to be held on the second Thursdays of each month. Newcomers Are Well Financed Supervisor Shaw's Report Shows 96 Percent Have Adequate Funds for Stay Definite information that over 95 per­cent of newcomers to California are well financed and that only 3.7 percent are liable to become a burden on relief organizations within the state was con­tained in the published report of Los Angeles Supervisor Frank L. Shaw, chairman of the president's organization for unemployment relief. "As part of our analysis of the causes of current unemployment we have just secured a definite check through questioning arrivals at the border for the purpose of determining the percent- On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER HARD-BOILED PATIENTS-- New York show girls are generally figured t o be about as hardened as nice girls can possibly get, but the limit for being hard-boiled seems to have been attained by one girl who had some dental work done recently. My wife had occasion to have some work done recently and she dropped in at the dentist's office. Peering into the doctor's operating room, she saw a girl, who was obviously a member of the theatrical profession, perched in the dentist's chair. He was busy about her teeth. As the dentlet worked, the chorus girl held a book high in the air and kept reading the whole time he was working, except when his arm got in the way. Then she shifted the book to her other hand. SAND HOG'S TROUBLES— Men who work in the underground tunnels when they are being built have to live in an air pressure of thirty-five pounds to the square inch. On coming out they have to pass from one air chamber to others, the air pressure being gradually lessened until they are fitted to go back in the outer air. Otherwise they get the "bends," an affliction that sometimes kills. Bends is another word for gas pains with which we are all familiar.

Loss experience, or the amount paid out in settlement of accidents, represents 49 percent, dividend returned growers 38 percent and overhead 13 percent. In the three years of the exist­ence of this policy, growers received as return dividends a total of $101,941. Not only do the savings effected through this large-scale collective coverage many times exceed the out-of-pocket cost of handling by the central office, but many of the growers covered have pay rolls requiring but the minimum premium, in which case they would receive no dividend at all were they insured individually. By taking advantage of this exchange activity, how­ever, these growers received the 38 percent dividend paid this year. Definite information that over 95 per cent of newcomers to California are well financed and that only 3.7 percent are liable to become a burden on relief organizations within the state was contained in the published report of Los Angeles Supervisor Frank L. Shaw, chairman of the president's organization for unemployment relief. "As part of our analysis of the causes of current unemployment we have just secured a definite check through questioning arrivals at the border for the purpose of determining the percentage of unemployed now entering this section of the state by automobile," said Supervisor Shaw. "Out of a total of 3515 motor arrivals questioned, 90.3 percent were well-financed tourists coming to spend the winter season in Southern California and were not interested in employment here. "Six percent were interested in finding work but were financed for their stay here and return home. The remaining 3.7 percent were poorly financed and arriving in old model autos. "When asked why they came here seeking employment the majority stated they were coming at the suggestion of friends and relatives residing in California while the others gave their reasons for migrating here as the result of news in the East of large public construction projects in this area." general impression that depression is not as bad in California as in the East, and the mild winter climate. "W. R. Quick chief inspector of Qthe Fort Yuma quarantine station of the department of agriculture, advised men that the class of motorists arriving from the east this winter was a better type than ever before recorded. "Quick has resided in the vicinity of Yuma for 25 years and has been in charge of the California department of agricultural quarantine station at Fort Yuma since its inception in 1922."

The other day one of the workmen was 'phoned that he had just become a father. He hurried so much to get his wife that he cut out the slow wait in the conditioning chambers and rushed to the hospital. After visiting his wife and new baby he went out in the hall and an attack of the "bends" hit him and he fell out of a window four floors to the street. Even that did not kill him, two clothes lines breaking his fall. The doctors now say he will be as good as new in a few weeks, when his broken bones heal. ONE NOVEL LINE— One most curious business here, and one which has not spread to other cities as far as we know, is the one which repairs damaged suits. If you sit on a nail, and tear a huge hole in your trousers or dress, you do not have to throw the clothes away. Instead you take it to one of these places and they weave goods right over the hole so you cannot tell where the damage was. Most of the workers who do this kind of work are expert French needlewomen who earn good money. Charges vary from about fifty cents to $1.50 a job and is well worth the price. That is one reason why New Yorkers are about the best dressed people in the world. Autos Are Fewer But Taxes Greater Although approximately 30 percent less automobiles were manufactured in 1931 than in the previous year, automotive taxes increased by $21,611,730 and gasoline taxes brought $30,000,000 more than during 1980.

He saw something of the fine idealism and sacrifice which war calls forth. But he saw, also, how greed and profiteering and the basest sort of selfishness wrap themselves in the cloak of patriotism and proceed cold-bloodedly to exploit the public necessity. He sends me his plan for preventing war, to which I am glad to give wide publicity. "Amend the Constitution," he urges, "so as to require that before war can be declared or participated in (except only in the event of attack or invasion) there shall be a Referendum." "That if a majority of the votes cast be for peace, there the matter ends; if for war, every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 18 and 35 shall be drafted, and" "That from the day war is declared until peace is finally concluded, no price or wage shall exceed what it was 90 days prior to such declaration. That all profits in excess of 5 percent shall be forefeited to the Government, and that no person, firm or corporation shall in peace-time or war-time be received as a contractor who is not a manufacturer, or a regular dealer, in the articles to be supplied—regular dealer being none other than one who, at the time the offer is submitted, either owns outright the articles offered or dependably controls their source of supply." I cannot see how any intelligent patriotic person can object to that proposal. If we had the sense and courage to write it into the Constitution at once we should destroy war propaganda, for no one would be so foolish as to spend money on propaganda when no money could possibly be made from war. We should entirely remove the present premium on war and in its stead impose a very heavy penalty. The silliness of war, under modern conditions of destructiveness, is almost as appalling as its horror. Napoleon liked to tell the story of the Dey of Algiers who, on hearing that the French were fitting out an expedition to destroy the town, sent word that if the king would give him half the money that the expedition would cost he would burn the town down himself.

Road Project Possibility that the proposed opening of Santa Ana's South Main street through the Irvine ranch to connect with the state highway No. 101 near Carona Del Mark will come before the county board of supervisors within the next week or two was seen when County Surveyor W. K. Hillyard completed description on the right-of-way for the proposed 80-fot strip. These descriptions are preliminary to any agreement between the county and the Irvine ranch. One of the reasons for urging consideration of the road is that it will provide work for a large number of unemployed men, with road payments to be spread out over a period of years. The roadway would be graded now and paved later to conform with the standard of county projects. Los Angeles Leads in Auto Death Rate Los Angeles is far in the lead in the rate of automobile traffic deaths among leading cities for the first ten months of 1931. Based on the number of fatalities per 100,000 population, this record shows: Los Angeles 33.1; Chicago 28.5; Cleveland 23.9; St. Louis 20.1; Detroit 18.4; Boston was lowest among the first ten cities tabulated, with 12.4.

Secondary Road Inspections Made First-hand information for use in making recommendations for additions to the state secondary highway system in this section is being sought by interested groups. It is revealed in a 900-mile trip recently completed by a party composed of county supervisors, officials of the state highway department, highway engineers, regional planning commissions, the highway committee of the Southern California council of the California State Chamber of Commerce, and officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Several trips, each of three to five days duration are planned during the next few months by this body, and not only is detailed data obtained on the roads recommended by local residents to be taken over by the state, but meetings are held at which the proponents of each road present claims and arguments for inclusion in the state system. Through personal contact and actually traversing the roads, it is believed that complete and definite information is being obtained that can be had by no other method.
