Warren, executive secretary, to the Orange county council which met in the chamber of commerce at Orange September 18. The Orange Chapter seeks 850 members, Anaheim 800, Fullerton 1600, and Santa Ana 3750. The Roll Call plans were given particular attention by the council. Harry E. Welsh, roll call chairman for the Fullerton chapter, attended the meeting and discussed Fullerton's plans with the council. Richard Ziegler, who is the American Red Cross field director at the Navy Landing station, Long Beach, and who is a special roll call field representative, was a speaker at the meeting. His talk was related to roll call, and to his own particular service with the red cross and its national service to elisted men in the navy. The state conference arranged by the National organization at Laguna Beach hotel October 23, was stressed by the council. All chapters are urged to have a large delegation at this pre-roll call meeting. James K. McClintock, national vice-chairman in charge of finance in National headquarters, Washington, D.C., will speak at the noon luncheon.

During the hot summer months, it was explained, concrete is not placed in the canal and conduit sections of the aqueduct located east of Banning. A large volume of this work is scheduled to be resumed on October 1, and at that time more than 1,000 additional men will go to work on the aqueduct. Employment on the aqueduct, it was pointed out, is limited to bona fide residents of the district. The thirteen cities which comprise the district are Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, and Torrance. Each of the district cities maintains a Metropolitan Water district employment registration office, and labor applicants are requested to file their applications in their home cities.

READ THESE FACTS Hiding under the innocent title of "Retail Store License," Proposition #22 on the November ballot is really a new scheme for taxing the public. Proposing to tax individual stores $1 a year and chain stores $500.00 for each store over nine, it has been petitioned against by 136,000 Californians because ... It Would Raise Prices The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says: If the ability to undersell, based on greater efficiency or on elimination of credit and delivery cost, is destroyed by taxation, it is the consuming public which will really pay the tax and not the chain." It Would Be Unfair Not a tax for revenue, not based on the ability to pay—it is an attempt to use the taxing power to destroy competition. Small chain stores would be taxed up to 500,000 times as much per dollar of sales as big department stores. It Would Hurt California Chain stores now benefit California consumers, farmers, employment property owners, taxpayers and investors. To cripple them is to hurt all California business. 22 IS A TAX ON YOU —VOTE NO! New Time for "CALIFORNIA'S HOUR" MONDAYS 9:30 to 10:30 P.M.

Business Index Gains High Mark Bank of America's index of far western business conditions for August moved substantially higher than the index for July and reached the highest point in the past 60 months. The index registered 76.5 which is 21.8 points, or 39.9 per cent, above the depression low in March, 1933. Building permits in 32 representative California cities totaled $98,584,000 for the first eight months of 1936. This represents an increase of $37,551,000, or 61.5 per cent over the like period of 1935. The aggregate value of retail sales made by 90 reporting establishments in the eight far western states registered a gain of 11 per cent during the first eight months this year as compared with the corresponding months of 1935. Bank debits which are an index of business activity totaled $2,067,000,000 in 15 major California cities during August. This is a gain of $219,000,000 or 11.9 per cent over August a year ago. The August index of prices received by California farmers for 24 of this state's major products during the first half of this year wage questions constituted the largest single class of questions referred by employees to their representatives. In 1934, the year covered by the first industry-wide study of the employee representation plans adopted by steel workers, questions of wages and hours of work were 28 per cent of the total considered. During 1935 about 35 per cent of the questions concerned these important subjects, while in the first six months of 1936 wages and hours of work accounted for... Bank debits which are an index of business activity totaled $2,067,000,000 in 15 major California cities during August. This is a gain of $219,000,000 or 11.9 per cent over August a year ago. The August index of prices received by California farmers for 24 of this state's major products of the soil registered 108 per cent of the July 1910-15 average. While this is a decline of three points over July, the index showed a gain of 19 points over August, 1935. The index of agricultural prices now stands 46 points, or 74.2 per cent, higher than in the month of April, 1933, the all-time depression low. Interference Is Recovery Block Government interference with industry is a major cause in both the intensity of depression and the slowness in recovery therefrom, according to N. W. Pickering, president of the Farrel-Birmingham company, Ansonia, Conn. "Contrary to the conclusions held throughout the country," said Pickering in a recent statement, "the data originating in government agencies show that: 1. The most prosperous periods in American history are those in which the prices of manufactured goods, relative to the farm price index, are being reduced—and the reduction in prices is accompanied by increased employment, purchasing power and consumption. 2. The periods of unemployment and under-consumption occur when the costs and prices of manufactured goods are rising relative to the farm price level—and the rise is accompanied by a decline in factory output, employment and purchasing power. 3. Further reduction now in industrial price level is obstructed by excessively high wage rates relative to farm prices—and an additional increase in hourly wage rates threatens further price distortion and consequent decline in industrial and business activity." Probably there never has been an exposition of greater magnitude, wherein the wizardry of electrical science will be demonstrated on so intriguing a design, it is said. Virtually everything electric for the home, business establishment and factory will be displayed, as well as a series of electrical "feats," such as are seldom seen outside the laboratory of the scientist. Decisions Favor Steel Workers Seventy-five per cent of the questions arising under employee representation plans in the steel industry in the first six months of 1936 were settled in favor of the employees. Only 18 per cent of the decisions favored management, while 7 per cent were compromised or withdrawn. These figures were reported to the American Iron and Steel Institute by steel companies employing nearly 80 per cent of the total number of workers in the industry. The institute's study shows that FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST, SCIENTIST (Christian Science) 125 N. Philadelphia "Reality" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. The Golden Text is from Paul's first epilogue to the Corinthians: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love love him." One of the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon includes these verses from Isaiah: "Strength ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of fearful heart. Be strong, fear not; behold, your God with vengeance, even God with a recipient; be will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert." The Lesson-Sermon presents also these words from "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Harmony in man is as real and immortal as in music." the first half of this issue questions constituted a single class of queries carried by employees to representatives. the year covered by industry-wide study of employee representation plans by steel workers,ques-tages and hours of work cent of the total con- 1935 about 35 per cent questions concerned these subjects, while in the months of 1936 wages of work accounted for 40 per cent of the total items brought up by the employees. Although the relations between employees and employers in many industries were unsettled during the first half of this year, in the steel industry a total of 5136 questions were discussed by men and management in a quiet and orderly manner under the representations plans. Of this number, 2063, or 40 per cent, dealt with wages and hours and 629, or 12 per cent, related to improving safety conditions in the mills. About 7½ per cent of the ques-tions concerned those physical conditions within the plants which affect production and the comfort of employees on the job, while other questions related to sanitation, employees' transportation, housing, and living conditions, pensions, etc. CASH PRIZES We keep you posted On Contests!
