First Concrete Poured In Parker Dam; Part of MWD'S Big Aqueduct Swung from steel cables stretched across the high walls of Parker canyon, the first bucket of concrete was poured Friday in the construction of Parker dam, according to a telephone message received by F. E. Weymouth, general manager of the Metropolitan Water district. Being constructed to divert water into the 392-mile Metropolitan aqueduct, Parker dam is located on the Colorado river 150 miles south of Boulder dam, and is being built under the direction of Frank Crowe, who was also general superintendent of the construction of Boulder dam. As an integral part of the Metropolitan aqueduct, Parker dam is being built by the federal government with funds supplied by the Metropolitan Water district. Rising to a total height of 320 feet above bedrock, this great concrete wedge in Parker canyon will create a reservoir approximately 50 miles long and reaching upstream to Needles, California. In order to reach bedrock for the dam it was necessary to excavate to a depth of 237 feet below the original surface of the Colorado river, thus creating the deepest excavation of its size that has ever been made in a river bed. Nearly a million and a half cubic yards of earth and rock have been taken out of the river bed in making this excavation. When completed, the roadway along the top of Parker dam will be 80 feet above the original surface of the river with the great bulk of the structure, approxi- tures of the Metropolitan aqueduct are expected to be completed in 1939. At the present time the entire project is approximately 64 per cent completed. The aqueduct will carry a billion gallons of water a day across the state of California to the 13 cities that comprise the water district. Kin Not Relieved by Security Law Relatives of old age security and blind aid recipients will not be relieved of their responsibility under terms of new legislation which becomes effective in September, Director Jack W. Snow of the county welfare department has announced. "As a matter of fact the county has been given power to take court action against children who are financially able to assist their parents if they refuse to do so," Snow said. "The law remains that a child is responsible for his parents and the state will only assist when it has been determined that children are unable to carry the full load." Some misunderstanding also exists concerning the $15 monthly income allowable under the new act in addition to the old age security check, Snow pointed out. Contributions of responsible relatives are not included in the additional $15, but will continue to be deducted from the maximum $35 old age security allowable. When completed, the roadway along the top of Parker dam will be 80 feet above the original surface of the river with the great bulk of the structure, approximately 240 feet in depth, being below the river's surface. The dam will be 810 feet wide at its crest and 300,000 barrels of cement will be required to make the concrete going into the structure. The Colorado river was diverted out of Parker canyon in October, 1936, to make way for this giant dam and since that time construction crews have worked 24 hours a day excavating for the bedrock foundation on which the first concrete was placed Friday. Parker dam and all other fea- Visiting Motorists Pass 100,000 Mark Non-resident permits were issued to 108,717 cars that entered California during the first six months of 1937, the state motor vehicle department reported in its regular monthly report. This is the first time in the history of the state, the report said, that the 100,000 mark has been passed in a six months' period. The number of permits issued to July was compared to the 87,-376 permits issued in the similar period last year, representing an increase of 24.42 per cent. SPORTOPIX by RUSS McCOMB Professional wrestling and amateur boxing seem to have taken a new lease on life at the Orange County Athletic club recently. Promoter Sam Sampson has been drawing big crowds during the past several weeks for both the grunt and groan and fisticuffs shows. All Baba, former heavyweight champion who used to wrestle here as Harry Ekezian, returned to the arena Monday night and put on a great show in beating Leo Numa. Tonight another ex-champion, Max Baer, will appear in the ring as referee during the amateur boxing bouts. Baer is on tour of the various small clubs. But the real sporting news of the week is the upset scored by Anaheim over Huntington Beach Tuesday evening in National nightball league play. The Valencias scored seven runs in the seventh inning to take a 7 to 5 verdict and snap a three-game losing streak. At the same time Orange and Huntington Beach were going 15 innings before the Ponies finally edged out a 4 to 2 victory. Santa Ana tripped Westminister, 1 to 0, as the result of a questionable decision on a hit and an error by the Flyer's shortstop. Anaheim lost a 5 to 2 decision to San Bernardino here last Friday evening for its third straight visit when it has been determined that children are unable to carry the full load." Some misunderstanding also exists concerning the $15 monthly income allowable under the new act in addition to the old age security check. Snow pointed out. Contributions of responsible relatives are not included in the additional $15, but will continue to be deducted from the maximum $35 old age security allowable. "The law specifies that additional income not to exceed $15 monthly can be derived only from certain sources, chief of which is the earning from a recipient's labor or services and rental income from housing owned and occupied by old age security recipients," Snow concluded.

The occasion will actually prove a Dutch treat with two of the world's best known cellists on the platform one nolding the baton, for it is recalled Kindler gave up a career as concert cellist to become an orchestral conductor. In addition Kindler has remade his program to include the introduction to the last scene from the opera "Capponsacchi" by Richard Hageman noted opera composer now residing in Hollywood who—also—believe it or not, was born in Holland. Hageman's operas was premiered in Germany where he has been a leading music figure for years and last winter was given by the New York Metropolitan.

Moussorgsky 4-H Members to Exhibit at Fair Twenty-four members of 4-H agricultural clubs in Orange county are sending exhibits of their animals or produce to the San Diego fair which opens at Del Mar on August 7. There is a big increase in interest this year compared to that shown in the 1936 fair, according to Ross E. Crane, assistant farm adviser. In 1936 4-H clubs and members' entries from Orange county won a total of $176 at this fair. Included in the entries to be shown at this fair are: vegetables, Joe Lieb, Jr., and Kenneth Lindley of Anaheim. Bees and honey will be exhibited by Joe Lieb of Anaheim. Hogs will be entered by Bob Kettler and Calvin Pebley, both of Anaheim. Sheep will be Reigns at Sun Valley The FARMERS CORPORATION by RALPH H-TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Agriculturally, this is harvest season, but governmentally, it is budget time—the taxpayer's sowing season! Furthermore, the old Biblical saying about sowing and reaping still holds good in government as in farming. California farmers, in common with other local property taxpayers, have an opportunity during August to determine, at least to some extent, the size of the tax bills they will reap for the coming year. They have an opportunity to voice their approval or disapproval of proposed county and school district budgets; to demand a check-rein on expenditures, if they feel that spending is out of bounds. And failure to exercise the privilege is likely to prove a costly oversight. The trend in local governmental expenditures is undeniably upward. Many increases this year will be mandatory, due to liberalized old age pensions, increased aid for orphans and the blind, and mounting relief requirements in some areas. But in addition to these mandatory increases, there will be demands for budget boosts in many counties which are neither mandatory nor necessary. Tax-spending groups are exceedingly active. And the taxpayer no longer has the protection of the 5 per cent limitation on expenditure increases, for the legislature failed ers come to their own decision can the responsibility for increases be placed on boards of supervisors or public officials. Here is the county order of the story, as stated ago by a county superintendent insistent demands were expedited. Some quests have merit: merely the demands of groups which have been formed to 'asking and rousing' them want. The payer ably grumbling, but come to the court house. "Most boards of would welcome the appraisal taxpayers willing to reduce budget and offer constrictions. It would be better for supervisors if would do their kicking gets are being made up waiting until it's too late they get their tax bill." That statement is so a challenge to taxpayers tains a great deal of the tainly, California farm rank among the state taxpayers, should be at budget time—and influence felt in behavioral government. NOTICE NO PERSONS OPERATING A BUSINESS UNDER MORTITIOUS FIRM NAMES Section 2466 of the California Code, says: "Every person and every partnership transacting business ... under a fiducious firm name ... must file ... a certificate stating the name in full and the place of residence of such person and the members such partnership ... such certificate must be published once a week for four consecutive weeks." If you have neglected this procedure, the name of your firm is protected, and you are not entitled to maintain suits in the cases of the State of California? IT NOW! Take care of this important matter NOW by having this paper publish the certificate. Go into the office—it takes only few minutes to have the form filed out and we will file the documents for you. The cost is small, the filing and publication is nothing which should not be overlooked.

Col. Frank B. Ebbert, counselor of the board of temperance, and former colleague of Wayne B. Wheeler, is scheduled for an appearance here soon. Col. Ebbert is to be in Anaheim on Sunday morning, August 8, 9:30 o'clock, speaking at the White Temple Methodist church at a special temperance rally arranged through the efforts of the pastor, the Rev. R. K. Swenerton. "The Unfinished Battle" was the subject announced by Col. Ebbert, who will reveal existing wet conditions under repeal, and present the educational program which forms the basis of the dry campaign. For many years Col. Ebbert has been prominently identified with the dry cause. He was one of the leaders in the original battle for national prohibition. During the great legislative era of prohibition, he was co-author of the Volstead act and other outstanding measures. In his capacity of attorney he successfully defended many of these famous laws before the federal courts. Col. Ebbert has also been a practicing attorney for many years in Los Angeles, Chicago and Boise, Idaho, where he was intimately associated with Senator Borah. Returning to platform work in the great battle being waged to rebuild temperance sentiment he was for three years co-speaker with due to liberalized old age pensions, increased aid for orphans and the blind, and mounting relief requirements in some areas. But in addition to these mandatory increases, there will be demands for budget boosts in many counties which are neither mandatory nor necessary. Tax-spending groups are exceedingly active. And the taxpayer no longer has the protection of the 5 per cent limitation on expenditure increases, for the legislature failed to re-enact it. This year the taxpayer must be his own watchdog, or pay for his negligence! For the taxpayer who is determined to have representation in tax-determination, here are some dates to put down on the calendar: Aug. 10 — Supervisors revise preliminary county budgets and prepare printed or mimeographed copies for taxpayers. Copies may be had on request. Aug. 20 — Supervisors hold open budget hearings; any taxpayer has a right to attend and have his voice in the proceedings. Aug. 30 — Final budgets adopted. Sept. 1 — Tax rates fixed. For educational budgets, school boards are required to hold open hearings by Aug. 10 in cases stipulated in the school code, and submit their budgets to county school superintendents. By Aug. 15, the county superintendent approves the budget and files a copy with the supervisors showing the amount of school taxes needed, which the supervisors must levy and cause to be collected. County government costs in California during 1936 jumped to $265,000,000, an increase of $23,-000,000 over the preceding year. For the coming year it is probable that the increase will be double or treble that amount, unless taxpay- If California fishermen home with empty crews be the fault of the state of fish and game.

Nor can the responsibility for such increases be placed entirely on boards of supervisors and other public officials. Here is the county official's side of the story, as stated a few days ago by a county supervisor: "In every county, and every community, local officials are facing insistent demands for increased expenditures. Some of the requests have merit: Many are merely the demands of selfish groups which have become accustomed to 'asking and receiving.'" "But tax-spenders invariably outnumber the taxpayers at budget hearing time. The spenders are on the job, demanding what they want. The payers are probably grumbling, but they don't come to the court house to do it." "Most boards of supervisors would welcome the appearance of taxpayers willing to review the budget and offer constructive suggestions. It would be a lot easier for supervisors if taxpayers would do their kicking when budgets are being made up, instead of waiting until it's too late—when they get their tax bills!" That statement is something of a challenge to taxpayers; it contains a great deal of truth. Certainly, California farmers, who rank among the state's heaviest taxpayers, should be on the job at budget time—and make their influence felt in behalf of economical government.

That statement is something of a challenge to taxpayers; it contains a great deal of truth. Certainly, California farmers, who rank among the state's heaviest taxpayers, should be on the job at budget time—and make their influence felt in behalf of economical government. And homeowners, business men and other common property taxpayers should join with them. The new uniform budget law makes budgets easier of understanding; it makes possible comparisons with other counties for like services; it is to be hoped that taxpayers will make the most of their opportunity.
