School Week Given Support by Group Wholehearted support for the eighteenth annual observance of Public Schools Week, April 26, was pledged by Mrs. B. C. Clark, president of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, representing over 200,000 members in 1673 local associations. "California's belief in public school education as a constructive force in the development of good citizenship has safeguarded the educational opportunities of children by a constitutional guarantee, which makes education the first business of the state," said the statement, issued to the public. Wild Flowers will Soon be Abundant Nature's most brilliant display of wild flowers in 20 years is predicted for the latter part of April by Dr. A. L. Grant, botany instructor of University college, downtown evening division of the University of Southern California. "Abundant rains will probably make this season's displays more colorful than two years ago, especially in the Arvin flower hills and Mojave district," said the instructor. "Especially vivid will be the golden poppies, blues in lupins, reds of the paint brushes, and varied hues of yellows, whites, and pink found in the bird's-eye gilia, evening primrose, owl's clover, blazing stars, and thistle sage." St. John’s Passion Will be Presented The Passion According to St. John of Johann Sebastian Bach which Otto Klemperer, conductor, and Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra will give in a first performance in the west in Shrine auditorium, Friday night and Saturday afternoon, March 26-27 at a pre-Easter music offering to southern California was first performed in Leipzig, Germany, on Good Friday, 1723. This premiere occurred, as it happens, just 214 years to a day before Dr. Klemperer's presentation in the Shrine. Soloists for the presentation will be Harry Stockwell, baritone; Felix Knight, tenor; Emery Darcy, bass; Hertha Glatz, contralto, and Gina Vanna, soprano. Health Association Still Below Quota Orange county has not yet filled its quota sought by the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association to carry on its work. Edna Hewitt Smith, executive secretary, announced following a recent directors meeting. Sale of Christmas seals has brought only $7,986.98 of the $10,-000 sought. More than one-third of the letters sent out have not been answered. Anaheim residents have returned $1,065.62 of a quota of $1,345, with nearly half of the letters not answered. Last week's column quoted paragraph (a) of Section 5 of "The General Welfare Act of 1937," Townsend bill now before the United States congress for passage. In the portion of the bill quoted there was set out that only citizens of the United States who had been such for a period of not less than five years could become eligible for the Townsend annuities. It was set out that such citizens must also have attained the age of 60 years. In order that the readers of this column may have full knowledge of the bill's requirements as to eligibility for the Townsend annuities paragraph (b) of Section 5 of the act is now quoted: "The right of any person to receive an annuity under this Act shall date from and begin on the first day of the calendar month following the approval by the Secretary of the Treasury of his application therefore, if approved by the 20th of any month (otherwise the first day of the following month), when and if such appli- SAVE ALMOST ONE-HALF NOW Easter Beauty SPECIALS FOR ONE WEEK Open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays until 9:30 P.M. at night Shampoo, Finger Wave and Rinsed, Dried 35¢ Fridays and Saturdays Shampoo, Finger Wave and Lovalon Rinse, Dried ....

UNIVERSAL BEAUTY SALON Corner Center and Los Angeles St. Phone 2426 Of Interest To All eligibility for the Townsend annuities paragraph (b) of Section 5 of the act is now quoted: "The right of any person to receive an annuity under this Act shall date from and begin on the first day of the calendar month following the approval by the Secretary of the Treasury of his application therefore, if approved by the 20th of any month (otherwise the first day of the following month), when and if such application is supported by his affidavit as to his age and such citizenship for five years and by proper public or private record proof or a detailed corroborating sworn statement, as to his age and proper public or private record citizenship, and has attached to it a photograph of passport size and a finger print record of the applicant for identification purposes, but subject to the limitations upon time and manner of payment as hereinafter provided by this act." In the foregoing paragraph it can be seen that there will be an obligation resting upon every applicant to furnish proof of his age and also of his citizenship. Both are required for eligibility under the act. There are also certain requirements of conduct which will become an obligation upon all successful eligible applicants for the Townsend annuities to follow in life practice. One of these is set out in a brief statement under paragraph (c) of Section 5. It reads: "The annuitant shall not engage in any gainful pursuit." This column in commenting on the above requirement of cessation from gainful efforts on the part of all receivers of the Townsend annuities, has this to say: The requirement to refrain from gainful pursuit is a very necessary one. The 1930 census states that there were a total of 10,485,000 persons of an attained age of 60 years then residing within the United States. Not all of these were citizens and not all the citizens will want to retire from gainful pursuits upon the Townsend annuities. There will be some whose incomes will be so much larger than the Townsend annuity who will not want to discontinue their employment. But it is thought that there will be approximately 7,500,000 of our citizens who will so retire. There are two purposes for retiring 60 years old citizens under Of Interest To All Southern California Edison Company Stockholders As a special service to the thousands of stockholders and more than half a million customers who constitute this Company, its Annual Meeting will be broadcast over these radio stations: KHJ—Los Angeles, 12 noon to 1 p.m. KVOE—Santa Ana, 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. KFOX—Long Beach, 12 noon to 1 p.m. Friday, March 19.

Water Heaters Are Obtainable Under Loan Act Home owners in southern California may still purchase automatic gas water heaters under the terms of Title I of the Federal Housing act, according to Fred G. Merker, district manager for the Southern Counties Gas company. "We are particularly anxious at this time for people to know the terms of Title I because, unless congress passes new legislation, loans for the purchase of automatic gas water heaters will not be available after March 31, under the present form of the act," Merker stated. "Terms of Title I, in conjunction with the special terms offered during the campaign being sponsored by dealers and gas companies, make possible the purchase of automatic gas water heating equipment under the most favorable circumstances." "F. H. A. loans have several advantages, the most important being lower carrying charges. We are advised that local banks are prepared to receive and handle applications for these loans. Other lending agencies, too, are qualified to make loans under the act."

To Paul Muni, for his work in the title role of "The Story of Louis Pasteur," the academy gave its award for the 1936 best performance by an actor. Token of an academy award is a goldplated statuette, which the cinema industry calls an Oscar. Screenwriters Sheridan Gibney and Pierre Collings, who wrote and adapted "The Story of Louis Pasteur," got two Oscars—for the best original screen story, and for the best screen adaptation of the year. Oscar for the year's best direction went to Frank Capra for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town." The academy gave out 15 other Oscars for everything from film editing to sound recording, including one to Walt Disney, (his fifth) for the best cartoon of the year: Mickey Mouse's "Country Cousin." Rarest prize awarded by the academy is its special award for an "outstanding contribution to the industry," given only when the Special Award committee feels that there has been a contribution outstanding enough to deserve it. Last week, for the fifth time in the academy's history, a Special Award Oscar was handed by Toastmaster George Jessel to Vice President Roy E. Larsen of Time, Inc. for "The March of Time," because it had revolutionized one of the most important branches of the industry—Newsreel. Its creativeness is looked upon by the Academy as a 'shot in the arm' for the whole newsreel field. Launched in February 1935 by Time's Circulation Manager Larsen, who had already put "The March of Time" on the radio, and Louis de Rochemont, a wartime naval line officer, later creator of Fox Movietone's "Magic Carpet" and "Adventures of a Newsreel Cameraman," the cinema "March of Time" is being shown in 7,560 U.S., 1,247 British Isle, 485 Australian and New Zealand and 750 Spanish-speaking theatres. Last week it began to appear in French theatres. The paramount problem of the The two purposes for re-ear old citizens under the Townsend plan contemplated in the first is to take part in competition with the need citizens for the position of employment. The aim to eliminate from the annuuitants the desire that they may hoard regulations. 100,000 citizens eliminate the employment field it that there will result balance between the laborer’s services and the employer will be seeking employment. Competition between the services of labor built in a much better fit for the employed. Of the competition has been those seeking em- which has resulted in large receipts for the ones enough to find jobs. The has been that even employed the standard of necessity reduced smaller pay envelopes. The ones younger in the age to understand that land plan is not just an bill but is an honest better the economic life the citizenship of the nation will get on the Townsend wagon and help put over. That day is near The paramount problem of the government all the way through this depression has been the one of unemployment. The problem is still acute. Business analysts have studied the problem. Their findings have led them to predict that there will always be several millions needing employment which modern mechanized industry will not be able to absorb. Those doleful predictions are not made by men of prejudiced viewpoints. They have carefully analyzed the problem in their search for a solution. They admit the employment of machine power instead of man power in the field of production is the fault. A solution for the problem they did not point out. They have not yet absorbed the Townsend viewpoint. Someday these business analysts will come to know what the Townsend people have known for the past three years, viz: the unemployment problem is one of economies. Business analysts took the long way around. The Townsend people the short way. The analysts of business will discover as have the Townsend people, that the ability of the masses of the people to buy is just as important as is the ability to produce. The one is useless without the other. R&B Inc.
