San Quentin Prison Record Since 1927 Focuses Attention On Warden Holohan Towering Six-Footer Gives Convicts Credit for Good Behavior As He Puts “Personal Attention Policy” Into Effect; Frowns On Football But Permits Various Other Contests Warden James B. Holohan of San Quentin Prison, who takes pride in possession of one of the finest apple orchards in California as well as one of the best "shooting eyes," has a record of administration which has attracted attention all over the nation. With revolt and turmoil universally prevalent in prisons during the last few years, San Quentin has not recorded a serious disturbance since Holohan took charge in 1927. Warden Holohan modestly admits this is true, but is inclined to give credit to the convicts. He feels that "personal attention policy" to each man has borne fruit—much as his personal attention to his apple trees down around Watsonville resulted in bumper crops of No. 1 quality. Holohan refused to accept the policy that a convict is a convict, to be thrown into a mold as a matter of routine. All prisoners in San Quentin except the ill, injured or the aged are given tasks for which they are fitted. As a result a great number of men leave the walls each year ready for another chance at the outside world. The warden believes in recreation for men with good records. Baseball, track sports, flower gardens, vaudeville entertainment and a large library are provided. For some reason, which he has not divulged, Warden Holohan frows on football, preferring to leave that sport to the colleges. Some convicts have requested it but the warden is adamant. He also refuses continually to express himself on the matter of capital punishment, but newspapermen and other friends of Holohan know the great strain he suffers when an execution day comes to San Quentin. Six feet and more in height, with steel blue eyes and a bulk suggesting great strength. Warden Holohan is a man to command respect. He seldom if ever is called upon to use his bulk, but Of this total $2,205,000 represented 466 land bank long-term loans on property and $1,188,100 went out through 508 land bank commissioner's loans, which are considered emergency credit for shorter terms and are drawn from a special fund of $200,000,000 set aside by an act of the last Congress designed to assist hard pressed farmers to consolidate their debts on a lower interest rate and escape foreclosure. October's loans from this unit of the farm credit administration in the eleventh district exceeded the prior month's by $1,387,300. "During the months of September and October the bank has received an average of 154 loan applications daily," said Ellis. "Meanwhile we have increased our clerical force and now have 365 appraisers in the field, with 53 others recommended and a class of 60 in training. In May we had but ten appraisers for the four states of the district. We hope during November materially to cut down on the accumulated applications and to top the $5,000,000 mark in loans granted." As evidence of returning stability in agriculture, the regional agriculture credit corporation reports that of $7,315,670 loaned for purposes of crop moving since the first of the year $3,157,250 already has been paid off, many loans in advance of maturity.

Six feet and more in height, with steel blue eyes and a bulk suggesting great strength. Warden Holohan is a man to command respect. He seldom if ever is called upon to use his bulk, but gives the impression he is ready to should it be necessary. Holohan has a long record of public service in the state. He served two terms in the state legislature from Watsonville and was on the school board. For 10 years he was United States marshal in San Francisco. Highlight of his career as marshal came in a crowded court-room in San Francisco one day in 1917. A Hindu on trial suddenly whipped out a gun and killed a fellow Hindu, who was a witness against him. As the fronzied man aimed at the judge, Marshal Holohan rose. Towering over the crowd he took quick aim and fired. The prisoner dropped dead, shot between the eyes. Holohan calls Watsonville his home There when he was 14 years old, he was left an orphan with the need to support two small brothers and a sister He did this with his small lettuce and vegetable tract. Thinking apples might pay better, he set out trees. He kept lettuce between the small trees, however, to provide spot funds for support of his family. Between crops, the youthful Holohan went to school and traveled miles around Watsonville when ever he had a chance to listen to a political speech. As his apple orchard expanded, so did Holohan and he soon was an active figure in civic life. The warden lives with his daughter in a hillside house back of San Quentin. Recently he suffered a nervous breakdown and doctors forced him to take a leave of his duties—his first vacation since he became warden in 1927. Rounding back into health, Holohan again is ready to take the helm at San Quentin. Whether Friday the thirteenth means anything in China or not, Chin Lee Yee, in New York, thinks it means a lot.

Frost For To Daily Weather Given Over No Keep Eggs Indefinitely Without Storing A new machine which processes eggs and makes it possible to keep them fresh indefinitely without storing was displayed at the National Poultry, Butter and Egg convention at Chicago last week. The process seals the eggs to retain the carbon dioxide which is the life preservative of eggs. "Penny for Jimmy” Amounts of $1.41 Per Person During First Quarter of Sales Tax Estimated Income From New Revenue Source Shows $8,000,000 Taken In First Two Months and 5,677,253 As Number Paying Tax; Los Angeles District Pays $3,113,973; Californians paid approximately $1.41 cents into the sales tax fund during the first short quarter of its existence, unofficial figures reveal. Actual figures were not available, since the state board of equalization had not completed segregation of tax returns in the 13 districts where supervisors administer the immense revenue system.

Actual figures were not available since the state board of equalization had not completed segregation of tax returns in the 13 districts where supervisors administer the immense revenue system. But using $8,000,000 as the approximately total returns for August and September, and 5,677,253 as the estimated number of persons who paid a sales tax in varying amounts, the average of $1.41 is considered "fairly close." Returns from each district were believed to be proportionate to the population. Thus, Los Angeles' district, with an estimated population of 2,308,492, probably contributed $3,113,973. San Francisco's district, with 711,796 population, paid something like $1,002,636. Figures for the other districts, all on an estimated basis, were as follows: Population Returns Oakland 553,491 $780,422 Fresno 386,921 545,558 San Bernardino 340,155 479,618 San Diego 270,562 381,402 San Jose 247,567 349,063 Sacramento 224,897 317,104 Santa Rosa 205,410 289,628 Stockton 174,860 246,552 Santa Barbara 149,756 211,155 Marysville 118,721 167,366 Redding 84,622 119,317 If returns continue to pour in at the rate they were received for the first two months, California will have added approximately $20,000,000 to its treasury by the first of the year. Members of the board of equalization pointed out it was entirely too early to predict the final total for the two-year period. Although there is some agitation for a special legislative session in January to eliminate foodstuffs from the tax, the board feels the revenue system should not be disturbed for several more months. Even if returns maintained a steady pace of $4,000,000 monthly, the total in two years would be $20,000,000 or more short of the necessary amount which must be raised to support the school system programs and other branches of state government. If food was exempted from the tax, some other revenue-raising process would have to be devised, it was believed. Forest Fire Loss Lessened In 1933 CCC Camps Credited For Notable Decrease In Flame Toll As Season Ends Forest fire losses in California were substantially less this year according to a report issued by the state division of forestry. While the report covers only fires reported up to October, there have been comparatively few areas burned since that time and recent rains were believed to have definitely ended the fire season for the year. As a result little change is expected when the final compilation is made. State records show that fires burned over $6,273 acres this year as compared to 129,702 acres in 1932 and $39,417 in 1931. The losses for these years amounted to $107,342, $121,763, and $1,170,803. The fact there was a substantial reduction in forest fire losses this year, despite the handicap of long periods of hot, dry weather, was attributed by forest officials mainly to the existence of CCC camps throughout the danger areas. Workers at the various camps were prepared to leave for a fire zone on a moments notice. As a result, officials pointed out, it was possible to have the fires under control before they were well under way. One of the most important reductions was recorded in merchantable timber. In 1932 fires destroyed 13.434 acres of good timber as compared to only 2.854 acres this year, the report revealed. In the face of a general decrease however, losses attributed to the destruction by fire of hay and grain increased this year, total $40.159 as compared to $11.731 in 1932. There also was a slight increase in burned pasture acreage. In addition to fire fighting and forest improvement work in the nature of firebreaks, motor ways and fire trails, a considerable amount of permanent improvements in the way of lookouts,ranger stations, fire suppression headquarters and telephone lines were made.

Fire Threatens County's Park One man was burned，40 acres underbrush were burned and Orange county park threatened when fire broke out in highly inflammable weeds and brush Sunday evening.Prompt mobilized Frost Forecasts To Be Broadcast Daily Weather Reports To Be Given Over Radio Beginning November 14 In a telephone message from Pomona to the farm advisor's office, Floyd Young, director of the fruit-frost service of the weather bureau, stated that the daily frost forecasts will be broadcast as in the past at 8:00 P.M., over radio station KNX starting November 14. The only exception to this schedule is on Wednesday nights during November, the frost report will come over the air at 7:50 P.M., instead of 8:00 P.M. This temporary period is due to a previous contract over the national system that cannot be changed until December, according to Young. Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg wishes to remind Orange county growers who have fruit or orchard thermometers to test that they should be in the hands of the packing house this week, carefully wrapped and tagged. Mr. Rathbone, assistant to Mr. Young, will collect the thermometers on November 13 from all packing houses at La Habra, Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda, Olive, Anaheim and Garden Grove. On November 17 he will collect the instruments from the houses at Orange, Tustin and Santa Ana. No testing will be done after these dates. Programs have been arranged in three farm centers for the presentation of the latest developments in the fruit-frost service. Garden Grove farm center met Thursday, November 9. Tustin farm bureau center meets at Woodward building in Tustin, 7:30 P.M., November 22; and La Habra farm center at Washington school, 7:30 P.M., November 27. Either Mr. Young or Mr. Rathbone will address these meetings. In the face of a general decrease however, losses attributed to the destruction by fire of hay and grain increased this year, total $40,159 as compared to $11,731 in 1932. There also was a slight increase in burned pasture acreage. In addition to fire fighting and forest improvement work in the nature of fire-breaks, motor ways and fire trails, a considerable amount of permanent improvements in the way of lookouts, ranger stations, fire suppression headquarters and telephone lines were made by CCC crews, officials said. Registration For December 19 Closes Unless voters who have moved from one precinct to another or failed to vote at the last election, re-registered by Thursday of this week they must either return to their old precinct to vote or not cast a ballot at the December 19 special election. County Clerk J. M. Backs announces. The special election was called as a result of a referendum against the proposed $170,000,000 state bond issue for the central valley water project. On the same ballot will be a $640,500 bond issue for Newport Harbor as Orange county's half in a development which Uncle Sam will foot, fifty-fifty. Break Bread On Water Disputes Vice-President J. D. McGregor of the Lytle Creek Water company, Engineer C. Browning of the Irvine company and Tri-Counties Advisory board members broke bread at meeting held in McFarland's cafe, Fullerton, Monday evening. Orange's Justus F. Cramer presided. McGregor declared construction of spreading projects at Lytle creek was for the purpose of spreading flood waters only as a means of flood control and not for conservation purposes. He declared that Orange county will receive its share of water as spread, the question merely being one of division. Engineer Browning said his company is willing to arbitrate its suit. Another meeting will be held next month. Fire Threatens County's Park One man was burned, 40 acres underbrush were burned and Orange county park threatened when fire broiled out in highly inflammable weeds and brush Sunday evening. Prompt mobilization of firemen by State Ranger Jo Scherman of Orange is credited with having saved the park from destruction. Same Experiences Seen In Anaheim Final decision on what haircuts will cost under the CRA may be a boon to the barber business, but it's just a tough break for a Sacramento sign painter. Before the first code was announced one barber in the downtown business district charged 25 cents for hairstyles. Two large signs in front of the shop so notified the public. During two weeks of controversy over prices before CRA officials, the sign painter had a daily job changing the figures, first to 35, then 50, up to 65 and finally back to 25. His Heart Isn't In Right Place Try as he may, Frank Brooks never will be able to convince anyone his heart's in the right place. A physician recently was called to attend Brooks, when the latter became ill of pneumonia at a prison camp near Junction City. In examining his patient, the doctor discovered that Brooks' heart was located on the right side of the body instead of being in its normal position on the left side. Refrigerating Explained In Book Indians, Crowded Out of Happy Hunting Grounds by White Nimrods, Forced Upon Charity; 125 Redskins In Orange County 22,000 Tribesmen In State, Or 100,000 Less Than In Days Of Spanish Regime; Indians Are Absorbed in General Population, With Humboldt County Boasting Largest Number In State California's Indians, crowded out of their hunting grounds by white men and rapidly finding that they cannot live by rod and gun alone, have had to turn to relief agencies for food. The problem of caring for Indians has become one of importance in many counties of the state, according to figures revealed by the California emergency relief administration. In Orange county, 125 Indians are included in the population. Relief agencies have had to consider them in preparing aid for destitute families. The federal office of Indian affairs had been providing some relief, but state and county governments have been called upon to aid these Indians who can qualify under existing relief statutes. California, according to the last official estimate, has an Indian population of some 22,000—more than 100,000 less than it had in the days of the early Spanish regime. Humboldt county has more than 2,100 "Redskins" living within its borders. San Diego follows with 1,700 or more and some 1,300 tribesmen live in Riverside county. The San Francisco Bay region has 200 or more and Los Angeles 1,000. Indians have virtually disappeared from San Benito, where only three remain, according to the census. The state's Indians are roughly divided into seven tribes, but most of them have been assimilated into the general population. Many Indians still desire to follow the ancient tribal methods of obtaining their own food by hunting and fishing. But the lure of California's streams, fields and forests has attracted so many other people that the Redmen have watched their source of supply dwindle. Protest Meeting Is Out of Order Secretary Flaherty of Farm Bureau Explains Position of His Group Persons attending the meeting at Santa Ana Tuesday night to protest slow action and low appraisals by the federal land banks discovered their "meeting in error" and adjourned, following a speech by Secretary Roland D. Flaherty of the Orange county farm bureau. Flaherty declared that his organization recently had elected officers and named committees and that the very problems to be discussed by the meeting were then being considered by the various committees. What their findings would be he could not say, but declared the federal land bank officers had withdrawn restrictions in Orange county at the request of the farm bureau, and that in his opinion the bank ought to be given a reasonable time in which to function.

The government, therefore, has decreed that needy unemployed Indians must be given emergency aid on the same basis as any other qualified applicant. WE LIKE IT! After one week in Anaheim, we like it.
