TODAY AND TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stockbridge SANITY comes with work One result of the depression has been to bring a good many people back to a sane outlook on life and the world they live in. That is particularly true among young men and women who never had to think about where the money came from. I know a good many of that kind, and nearly all of them are finding the kind of life where they have to do things for themselves much more satisfying than an existence in which everything was done for them. That has always been true, that the only things worth having are the things one works for. But a good many people didn't know that until they were forced to work. DOUGLAS he can figure If and when Mr. Woodin resigns the man slated to take his place as Secretary of the Treasury is Lewis Douglas, Director of the Budget. Mr. Douglas has had the respect of official Washington for a good many years. He was the lone Congressman from Arizona for several terms, and that made him a much more important figure than either of the Senators from that State. He fought a valiant but losing fight against the Boulder Dam project, which made him a lot of enemies but a lot more friends. When Lew Douglas gets into action he fights along a straight line until he wins or is licked. And when it comes to figures, he can make them behave like nobody's business. SECURITY a doubtful course I have just got word that the Association for Old Age Security has changed its name to the Association for Social Health Commissioner of County Gives Instructions to Aid Public Welfare By DR. K. H. SUTHERLAND, Orange County Health Commissioner Forty-eight different communicable diseases caused by forty-eight different organisms must be quarantined or isolated by Health Departments engaged in the important task of the control. While some of these forty-eight varieties are rare locally, a period of twelve months will find most of them represented to a greater or lesser degree. Since January 1st, 2131 cases of communicable disease have been reported to the Orange county health department for supervision or isolation, requiring 7655 home visits by members of the department. Unfortunately, the school year is closing with many cases of communicable disease still present in the community. This means that during the summer months parents must assume some of the responsibility for reporting these diseases that is originally assumed by the school. We urge parents to consult a physician at the earliest signs of possible contagion in their children, but if they do not call a physician, the head of the house must according to law report the presence of the suspected disease, to the county health department either by mail or by phone. In Santa Ana the health department phone number is 0000, while in the various cities over the county, representatives of the health department may be reached through the local police station. Unless these cases of contagion are well controlled during the summer months they will continue to occur at regular intervals until the reopening of school, and then start new epidemics which will deplete the school attendance and lower classroom efficiency. Among the diseases to watch for at present are scarlet fever, measles, gerbera dermatitis, etc. SECURITY I have just got word that the Association for Old Age Security has changed its name to the Association for Social Security. Having succeeded in getting half the states to adopt old pension laws, the men behind this movement are now starting out to get legislation which will provide, as they put it "social insurance against old age dependency, and unemployment." This is a significant movement, for it indicates, as many other signs of the times do, that we are moving toward a socialized commonwealth, such as now exists in England. The burden of taxation of the competent to support the incompetent will steadily increase, until everybody levelled down to the same economic status. That is the direction in which we are heading. Of course, high wages and security at taxpayers' expense can't go together. The justification of high wages is that the worker should be enabled to save something out of his wages, against illness, unemployment or old age. That has been our American idea. The European idea is to justify low wages by providing for public care of the worker in time of stress. I don't like the European system. It destroys ambition and incentive to good work. Sooner or later it will destroy the nations that adopt it. But I'm afraid that's what we're heading for. BRAKES and accidents I got into trouble on the road the other day. For the first time in nearly thirty years of motoring I was caught violating the law! I had just taken my car out of the garage where it had been laid up since last Fall, and neglected to drive over to the inspection station and get a 1933 certificate that my brakes and lights were in good condition. In Massachusetts nobody may drive a car without a poster in the windshield certifying that it has had an official brake and light test within six months. I had only last year's sticker, so a motorcycle cop held me up and proved me wrong. I think the Massachusetts law is a good one. I've seen a report from the Travelers Insurance Company, which keeps tab on automobile accidents, which says that in the past year there has been an increase of fatal accidents, due to faulty brakes. Part of that is due to so many old cars being still in use, but most of it is due to the failure, in most states, to require periodical ment either by mail or by phone. In Santa Ana the health department phone number is 0000, while in the various cities over the county, representatives of the health department may be reached through the local police station. Unless these cases of contagion are well controlled during the summer months they will continue to occur at regular intervals until the reopening of school, and then start new epidemics which will deplete the school attendance and lower classroom efficiency. Among the diseases to watch for at present are scarlet fever, measles, german measles, chickenpox, mumps and whooping cough, all of which must be strictly isolated on the home premises until given a release by the health department. In all the diseases listed above the causative agent is found in the secretions of mucous membranes of the nose and throat and it is transmitted from person to person by coughing or sneezing, as well as by direct contact through touch. Scarlet fever in California may be a mild disease and often a mild or "missed" case presents a very troublesome problem. In such a case the child may be indisposed for only a few days and then be out again among other children while still in the infectious state. A sore throat, headache, possibly vomiting, temperature, and most important of all a fine red rash, should always be seen by a medical authority for the child's own protection as well as for that of others. Whooping cough is an infection dangerous to small children particularly. Its control depends largely upon the cooperation of the public. Any severe cough with vomiting is suspicious of whooping cough and should be isolated pending definite diagnosis even though the characteristic whoop is not present. Measles is a highly communicable infection spread by coughing and sneezing. It is very contagious even during the four to five days before the red mottled rash appears. A child with a hard "brassy" cough, red watery eyes, etc., should be isolated from others for four or five days until it is quite certain that a rash will not develop. This holds particularly true where there is a history of exposure to measles. A chickenpox rash appears in the form of little water blisters appearing particularly in the scalp and over the chest and abdomen and lower part of the back. These water blisters become pustules and develop scabs which fall off in about ten or twelve days. Chickenpox cases must also be isolated according to law. Again we ask that those having knowledge of, or suspecting the presence of communicable disease in their own home or in the neighborhood, telephone or mail this information to the Orange County Health department unless there is a licensed physician on the case. The ancient game of American Indian — lacrosse have its place at the Cedars exhibition, Chicago, Newsy Lalonde, coach of Canadians in professional lacrosse, has announced two teams to Chicago abide of July. There will be lacrosse series during th shield certifying that it has had an official brake and light test within six months. I had only last year's sticker, so a motorcycle cop held me up and proved me wrong. I think the Massachusetts law is a good one. I've seen a report from the Travelers Insurance Company, which keeps tab on automobile accidents, which says that in the past year there has been an increase of fatal accidents, due to faulty brakes. Part of that is due to so many old cars being still in use, but most of it is due to the failure, in most states, to require periodical brake inspection and to keep cars that haven't been certified off the highways. TAXES from our pockets Everybody pays taxes. That is what politicians try to conceal from the voters. In the long run all taxes are paid by the ultimate consumer. There is no way of taxing the rich, which the rich do not pass on to the less well-to-do. If you rent a house you pay taxes. If you buy a taxed article or merchandise, such as cigarettes, playing cards, automobiles or gasoline, you pay the tax. And the customers of a store are the ones who, in the long run, pay the storekeeper's income and other taxes. If everybody realized that it is not some mysterious far-off "higher-ups," who pay, but that every dollar spent by the tax eaters comes out of the pocket of ordinary folks like us, there might not be so much agitation for schemes to have "government" do things for everybody that everybody would be better off in doing for themselves or going without. 3-Year-Old Wins Air Race Honors Little Miss Sheila Brown is only 3½ but her amazing record of several hundred hours in the air, two transcontinental air flights, one forced landing and other aerial adventures qualified her as the official mascot of the air meet which opens July 1 at Los Angeles, on which date she will be prominent in the ceremonies which will open the national racing events. Sheila's flying has all been done with her father, W. Sidney Brown of Los Angeles, and started while she was still in her mother's arms. Local Leaders Go To San Diego Meet Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler Thomas McFadden and Past Exalted Ruler Horace Benjamin of the Anaheim B. P. O. Elks No. 1345 attended a past exalted ruler meeting held Saturday evening at San Diego. Agriculture Radio Program Announced The schedule of daily radio talks given on agricultural and allied subjects, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and KFI, is announced by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg for the week beginning June 26. The talks are presented at 12 o'clock noon each day. June 26—"Walnut Marketing," — a dialogue — A. W. Christie, field manager, California Walnut Growers association, and M. H. Kimball, assistant farm advisor, Los Angeles county.

Philadelphia scored 11 runs in the third New York ten in the fifth. Doesn't sound like big league baselittle. Don't be surprised if the 1936 Olympic games are taken away from Berlin staged in Rome instead. Lot of tennis fans will want to know why Frank X. Shields, fifth ranking United States tennis player who was exited to compete in the English championships at Wimbledom, is returning one. Shields was defeated in the French championships by Christian Bussus. Bicycle racing is being revived in various parts of the country. Horse racing and betting has received sanction of the Texas legislature when signed by Governor Ferguson; the bill becomes operative in 90 days, time for fall fairs. Whippet racing drew 17,000 the other day in Portland, Oregon. Baselittl, boxing, dog shows, golf innements, horse shows, polo horse racing, yachting, are all offered to the New York sports fair these days. Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera will meet in the Garden Bowl, Long Island City, New York, June 29. The big intercollegiate regatta with several teams is taking place this week. Good Times Are Waiting Anglers Improved Fishing in Higher Regions Promised as Water Run-Off Slackening As vacation time approaches the anglers are promised improved fishing conditions in the higher elevations where the late spring snows and heavy run-off of water has hampered the early trout fishermen. Lake Tahoe is furnishing good sport to those who have ventured there this month. The Little Truckee river has proven successful to many fishermen from this state and Nevada. Alder creek was one of the heaviest fished streams in the Truckee area, and the scores of anglers all caught fish, though bait had to be used exclusively. Emerald bay has turned in several limits and as the weather gets warmer is expected to draw many anglers. The Truckee river has been so full of water that it has not proven a drawing card up to the first week of this month, but with the water subsiding and clear-fishing should be good on this popular stream. In the Inyo and Mono counties area fishing has been splendid. June Lake, ever popular with southern California sportsmen, has drawn as heavily as usual this year, and the catch of trout has been high. In the San Joaquin valley streams fishing has improved wonderfully since the snows in the high mountains have disappeared, and the roads opened to travel. The Merced, Kings and Kaweah rivers have all repaid anglers who have visited these streams in recent weeks. In Lake county fishing has been splendid. Clear lake has afforded many limits of black bass, Sacramento perch, crappie and calico bass, with some forked-tail catfish being taken. Many limits are reported taken from Lake Pillsbury, of trout running from half pounders to four pounds. Fish in these waters are encouraged. The Farmer’s Corner By Ralph H. Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee California's new farm acts, encompassing many sweeping changes and innovations in agricultural law, will become effective about August 20, if the voters approve proposition No. 7 on the special ballot, which specifies the time when all measures passed at the recent legislative session shall go into the statutes. Although the 1933 legislature turned out a bumper crop of farm enactments the farmer's problem in familiarizing himself with the measures governing his business will be tremendously simplified as a result of the enactment of the new agricultural code. The new farm code not only embraces all previous farm statutes, codified and vitalized to meet modern conditions, but will also include all agricultural bills affecting the code passed during the 1933 meeting. More and more in need of a complete knowledge of the laws governing his particular branch of the farming industry, due to the increasing complexities of economic life which require legislation, the California farmer should take full advantage of the opportunity for full information provided in the agricultural code. It may not make the most enjoyable winter reading, but, on the other hand, it should prove to be profitable readin' minimizing the chances of costly mistakes and violations of regulatory acts. Of major importance among the new farm bills passed and signed by Governor Rolph, S. B. 981, by Senator Bush of Oakdale, gives the state board of agriculture board investigating authority with the power to subpoena witnesses. This is the first real power the board has been granted to permit getting at facts as a basis for its recommendations. Also vitally important, especially in some sections where birds have... Whippet racing drew 17,000 the other day in Portland, Oregon. Basetball, boxing, dog shows, golf tournaments, horse shows, polo horse racing, yachting, are all offered to the New York sports fair these days. Jack Sharkey and Primo Carnera will meet in the Garden Bowl, Long Island City, New York, June 29. The big intercollegiate regatta with the best crews of the country competes is scheduled for Long Beach, Cal., July 8. The National Outdoor Fencing Championships are scheduled to be held in Chicago June 23 and 24. There is considerable interest among back followers in the coming Yale-Carver vs. Oxford-Cambridge meet to be held at Cambridge, Mass., July 8. Lou Gehrig, New York Yankee first baseman, also is interested in a record starting June 1, 1925, he has not missed a game. Everett Scott played in 1907 consecutive games. Gehrig has played in more than 1200. It is evident that both the National and American Leagues are going to see very tight baseball races this year. The strong teams of last year have presented few new faces while the second division teams have been greatly strengthened. It is a question whether Pittsburgh can be headed off in the National League and the New York Yankees may show too much power in the American League. At this writing Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, a great woman tennis player, is on the high seas, bound for Europe to enter all the major tournaments. She will return to America for the women's nationals at Forest Hills. Incidentally, Mrs. Moody carried 15 rucks with her to Europe. The concrete stadium at the West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, Long Island, New York, will be used for weeks this year. It seats 13,000 and it has always been a problem to fill the bowl during the early rounds. This year it is hoped there will be many overseas entries to attract the crowds. The ancient game of the North American Indian — lacrosse — will have its place at the Century of Progress exhibition, Chicago, this summer. Newsy Lalonde, coach of the Montreal Canadians in professional hockey and lacrosse, has announced he will take two teams to Chicago about the middle of July. There will be a five-game lacrosse series during the fair. Fishing has improved wonderfully since the snows in the high mountains have disappeared, and the roads opened to travel. The Merced, Kings and Kaweah rivers have all repaid anglers who have visited these streams in recent weeks. In Lake county fishing has been splendid. Clear lake has afforded many limits of black bass, Sacramento perch, crapple and calico bass, with some forked-tail catfish being taken. Many limits are reported taken from Lake Pillsbury, of trout running from half pounders to four pounds. Fish in this lake are taking spinners. Up around Susanville Warden C. O. Fisher reports Susan river high and roly, though a few fish are being caught with worms and hellgrammites. Eagle lake is not so good this year. Crater lake is free of ice and improved fishing conditions predicted by the middle of June. Silver, Snag, Triangle, Juniper, Grassey and Caribou lakes still frozen over June 5th. Butte lake will be opened to fishing June 16, and this is looked to be a splendid body of water for trout. No boat fishing will be permitted. Blue lake is clear of ice, and plenty of fish are reported. The only way to get to this lake is from Likely; the road is open but not in the best of shape. Indian creek headwaters in Plumas county will be ready for flies and bait fishing by June 15th, as will Last Chance creek, above Shutin. Black bass fishing in Pit river is said to be good. Horse and Ash creeks the fishing so far has been only fair. Coastal streams are still furnishing some good sport, and in southern California streams planted with aged fish have been drawing large numbers of anglers. Tourist Travel Shows Increase Figures today by the California state department of agriculture show that during last month a total of 27,032 out-of-state motor tourists arrived directly in Southern California from the east via Yuma, Blythe, Daggett and Yermo gateways in 10,012 cars. This is an increase of 1.3 per cent over the corresponding period last year. A total of 197,823 out-of-state motorists arrived in California via all motor gateways during the first five months of this year in 73,268 cars. Reports from the department of agriculture inspectors at the border stations announce a higher calibre of tourists arriving than those recorded in seasons past. The figures do not include California minimizing the chances of costly mistakes and violations of regulatory acts. Of major importance among the new farm bills passed and signed by Governor Rolph, S. B. 981, by Senator Bush of Oakdale, gives the state board of agriculture board investigating authority with the power to subpoena witnesses. This is the first real power the board has been granted to permit getting at facts as a basis for its recommendations. Also vitally important, especially in some sections where birds have wrought havoc with crops, is Senator Mixter's bill, soon to become law, which grants the state department of agriculture and the state fish and game commission, with associated county officials, joint control of the importation of wild birds and animals and this measure will protect the farmer from infestations and destructive pests. Somewhat in this same category is a new statute introduced by Assemblyman Hornblower, providing a short open-season on band-tailed pigeons which have multiplied to such an extent that they have become pests and caused heavy crop losses in some sections. Livestock men shipping by truck come under new restrictions under S. B. Hunting Licenses For 1933-34 Ready Licenses for the 1933-34 hunting season are now available, the state fish and game commission announces. The licenses will be good from July 1, 1933 to June 30, 1934. Two years ago the commission changed the period of hunting licenses from the calendar year to the fiscal year. This was done to accommodate duck hunters, particularly, who were forced to renew their hunting licenses during their outing, because the duck season ran over in January at that time. The hunters are promised good sport for the coming season. Deer came through the winter in good shape and they are reported numerous. Quail have shown marked increase according to reports from the wardens. Doves and rabbits are also on the increase. There will be an open season on band-tailed pigeons, and a five day open season on pheasants, the first in the state's history. Here is what a hunter is permitted to kill during the year for his $2 license: of course bag limits regulate his daily shoot: 120 doves, 120 valley quail, 80 mountain quail, 240 wild ducks, 64 wild geese, 160 snippe, 200 mudhens, 150 wild pigeons, 120 cottontail and brush rabbits, 2 pheasants and some species of fur bearing animals. In addition, for one dollar more, the hunter may kill two buck deer. 119. This bill, passed and signed, limits the number of hours that animals may be kept on trucks without unloading for feeding, watering and rest to conform with similar regulations regarding shipment by railroad. Another new statute of importance to cattlemen, introduced by Senator Powers, gives stockmen grazing rights on public lands based on past use. Poultrymen will find one of the most important of the new acts affecting their industry in the Slater-Harper bill, requiring the uniform labeling of manufactured goods containing imported egg products. The act is now applicable to manufacturers outside as well as in the state. Farmers generally, in many sections of the state, will be aided by a new law, fathered by Assemblyman Zion of Modesto, which requires the state fish and game commission to pay half the cost of installation of fish screens which they order constructed. Strike Agitators Told to “Get Out” Confronted with the curt command: "Get out of the county and stay out" a group of Mexican agitators who attempted to foment a strike at the S. Murrata ranch west of Stanton Tuesday, was dispersed by Sheriff Logan Jackson and a squad of deputies. The agitators urged the 25 pickers to quit, demanding a raise in pay from 15 to 35 cents an hour. Ten of the pickers had quit at the agitators' insistence, when the sheriff arrived. Sheriff Jackson took two of the Los Angeles Mexicans to Santa Ana for questioning regarding their activities. He also seized a letter said to have been written by the Mexican vice-consul in Los Angeles.

And in addition to this immediate saving, Proposition Number 1 when it becomes fully operative in January, 1935, will return all city property to the local tax rolls, bringing another reduction of per cent in your property taxes!
