Every city and community has its staunch and faithful supporter who goes unsung through most of his days. He is the one who is called upon first to donate to charity, the first to give generous support to all civic activities and lead his time, money, and energy to boost the community where he lives. He is the average businessman. He provides the bulk of the taxes, and his unflagging labors are the mainspring of business. Yet today he is often treated as if he were everybody enemy. No one guarantees his income, but he is denounced if he cannot pay high wages. Nothing safeguards him against bankruptcy, but he is called anti-social if he must discharge employees. If he tries to save funds to expand his business, the law slaps an undivided surplus tax on those funds. If efficient management enables his firm to sell things cheaper than his less efficient competitors can afford to do, a price-fixing law forbids him to do so. If his thrift and industry enable him to operate two stores instead of one, he becomes everybody's menace and drives are started to tax him out of existence with punitive legislation. And if he is still in business by the year's end, he must hire a whole corps of lawyers to decipher the red tape of income taxes, pension funds, unemployment insurance and gain with labor unions. "Collective agreement" in Britain does not mean a labor contract between one employer and a union, or a group of associated unions. Basic wage and hour disputes are negotiated nationally (not locally or individually), and if these negotiations fail, both sides prefer going to an impartial umpire, whose decision is usually accepted. Local disputes are carried up, through district committees, to a national joint board of the industry. Unauthorized strikes are frowned on by union higher-ups and are rare. Parliament has legalized picketing that does not block traffic, intimidate non-strikers, or lead to a breach of the peace. Respect "Violence on the part of the workers, and provocative tactics on the part of the employers," have ruled for a long time played any significant part in industrial disturbances." 48TH— WASHINGTON—When its new law for state aid to the indigent aged (over 65), the blind, and dependent children was approved last week by the U.S. social security board, Virginia qualified for federal old-age assistance. No every state in the union provide such assistance, and the total age federally aided is 1,721,000. Add for Virginia: 14,000. THREE GESTURES— WASHINGTON—Amid talk of impending war in Europe last week, the U.S. made three defensive gestures against possible attacks from the east by belligerent Europeans: Since 1932, when the navy scouting force was sent to join the rest of the navy in the Pacific U.S. scanner on the Atlantic WASH. — President Roosevelt's familiar assertion that "one-third of the nation is ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished" has been cited by New Dealers as justification for vast governmental spending. But it seemed last week that Roosevelt's estimate would have to be revised—upward. For a searching report on "consumer incomes in the U.S." by the national resources committee demonstrated that nearly one-half of the nation fitted the president's dismal description. Composed of cabinet members, New Deal economists and liberal businessmen, the national resources committee surveyed—between July 1935 and July 1936—some 300,000 families in 30 states. Correlated results of the survey, published last week in a 194-page brochure, made astonishing reading: National income was estimated at $59,983,000, consumers at 41,000,000 family units and individuals: Of 29,400,300 families spending nearly $48,000,000,000, the survey showed 14% getting under $500 a year, 42% under $1,000, 65% under $1,500, 87% under $2,500. Ten percent had incomes from $2,500 up to $5,000; only 1%, $10,000 or over. Individuals had practically an identical income range. Lumping the two, 32% of the total had annual incomes under $1,000, 69% less than $1,500. Following the Roosevelt lead and splitting the nation's consumer incomes into thirds, the 13,000,-ooo families and individuals in the third, just under $3,000. If the total estimated income of $59,-983,000,000 were divided equally, the average would be $1,622 per family, $1,151 per individual. UNIONS IN BRITAIN WASHINGTON — Basic document for next winter's congressional debates on altering the national labor relations act is the report of Franklin Roosevelt's commission on industrial relations in Great Britain, released last week by the president. Confined to facts and untainted with moralizing for the benefit of U.S. employers, employees or politicians, the report was prepared by nine people who roamed through the British Isles for three weeks, ferreting into employers' offices, union head quarters, government bureaus and archives. Some of their findings: Great Britain and Ireland have 1,041 trade unions with a total membership of 5,308,000 (as of 1936) — about one-third of the workers eligible. Grouped into federations for collective bargaining are about half of the unions, and most of these belong to a Trades Union Congress, comparable to A.F. of L. or CIO. Britain's employers are similarly organized in industrial associations to bar- THREE GESTURES WASHINGTON—Amid talk of impending war in Europe last week, the U.S. made three defensive gestures against possible attacks from the east by belligerent Europeans: Since 1932, when the navy scouting force was sent to join the rest of the navy in the Pacific U.S. seapower on the Atlantic coast has consisted of a training squadron of four old battleships and 16 antique destroyers. Born organized last week, at President Roosevelt's command, war an American squadron of seven brigades new destroyers and seven brigades new 10,000-ton cruisers with main batteries of 15 six-inch guns. The president also directed Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson to produce within 6 days a plan to render the electric power systems of 15 major cities less vulnerable than they now are to air or sea bombardment—but means of new superpower links giving them alternate sources of supply. Secretary of War Woodring and announced that general headquarters of the army's air force will soon be moved from Langley Field near Hampton, Va., to Scott Field 275 miles southwest of Chicago. Object: To be within a few hours flight of all continental air combat units, yet immune to foreign attack. Cost: $4,857,000. Incident (unpublicized) advantage: If the U.S. ever goes to the barricade and the army has to combat civil insurrection, the air command will be centrally placed for operation in any direction. TOKYO, Japan—Since the beginning of the war in China observers have wondered how big a piece of China the Japanese would eventually try to chew. They were still wondering last week when Corresponder Wilfred Fleisher of the New York "Herald Tribune" reported what he believed to be the basic policy of the Japanese cabinet: Once the Japanese army takes Hankow, th very showed 14% getting under $500 a year, ~42% under $1,000, 65% under $1,500, 87% under $2,500. Ten percent had incomes from $2,500 up to $5,000; only 1%, $10,000 or over. Individuals had practically an identical income range. Lumping the two, 32% of the total had annual incomes under $1,000, 69% less than $1,500. Following the Roosevelt lead and splitting the nation's consumer incomes into thirds, the 13,000,-000 families and individuals in the lower third—including all types of consumers in all sorts of communities—received less than $780 a year. Fully 70% of them were not getting any form of relief, although their average income was $471 a year. The middle third of 13,000,000 averaged $1,076; the top RAISE FRIERS on Fedco the original feed for friers used by large, successful frier plants and 10,000 poultrymen.

Lemon St., Anaheim San Francisco Man Lectures Here On Christian Science Last Sunday “Health, abundance and security are within the reach of every industrious man and woman,” declared Peter V. Ross, C. S. B., of San Francisco, in a lecture on Christian Science given last Sunday afternoon at the high school auditorium. Ross, a member of The Christian Science Board of Lectureship present Chinese capital, no further invasion of China will be pressed. Meanwhile, Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek launched a desperate counter-offensive at the Japanese in boggy, half-flooded, malarial country near Kiukiang, 135 miles down the Yangtze river below Hankow, claimed to have thrown the Japanese back for heavy losses on the whole width of a 45-mile salient. Chinese-speaking Christian missionary doctors are among the few western observers in really close touch with China’s people, and in New York last week arrived Dr. Walter H. Judd, fresh from work in Japanese-conquered territory, and Dr. Robert McClure who has been director of the International Red Cross in central China. They agreed that Japan “does not have a ghost of a chance to win the war”, since what they have seen convinces them that the Japanese army of occupation, sniped at and harrassed day and night by Chinese guerrillas, is “slowly bleeding to death.” As an example, the missionary doctors described how a Japanese division of 20,000 men had been worn down in two of The Mother Church, the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, spoke here under the auspices of First Church of Christ Scientist, of Anaheim. Referring to God as Life, and to man as an exhibit of divine Life, he said: “Disease cannot be genuine. This is why sufferers are constantly in revolt against it. If disease were a reality people would have to accept it without protest, for realities cannot be evaded or overcome. Disease Not Genuine “Science insists that disease is in belief, in appearance, or in ignorance, rather than in reality. It belongs in the same category with the belief in the flatness of the earth. For certainly the earth appears flat. Occasionally to this day may be found a person who believes it flat. Obviously the flatness is in his thought, in his ignorance. Some day the simple fact will dawn upon him that the earth is round. Then the flatness will be cured. “Some day the undeniable fact will dawn upon the supposedly sick man that Life is God. Then his sickness will be healed, because disease and mortality cannot be ascribed to Diety. If God is Life, then Life must be diseaseless, ageless, endless.” Making the Right Choice “Human experience,” he continued, “consists of a considerable degree in making choices and decisions. Christian Science acquaints the individual with the spirit facts which enable him to judge and choose wisely and rightly. A person makes a right choice, life is irrepressible, unchangeable; incorruptible. When realizes as best he can that resistless Life is his, that is full and unrestricted open right where his infirmity may be. Which means that the firmity is not there, is not not in existence.” Spread of Science “Christian Science, discovers and founded by Mary Baker has gone as widely abroad haps as has the Sermon on Mount,” stated the speaker other words it has permeated versal thought. There is a person in’ western civilization who is not living a different language, who is not suing a different and a better who is not living in a diary and a better world because great woman has lived and oared here.” Science Treatment “There is no mystery of Christian Science treatment; plained the lecturer, “although world abounds with people while they believe in Science itate to voice its truths be afraid of saying something roneous. Any statement, any attitude, any mood which denies disease as a lying impulse and which exaltes Life and as everpresent realities, is tific, is legitimate treatment.” “It is even reverent prayerer in this that it absolves from responsibility for sick and suffering. It is the sage prayer which works a change in the individual. For the effect prayerer after all, is not God on the man who prays. prayer unites the individual that Life to which disease amnesia and dissolution are unknown unites him with that Mind imparts to man all the intelligence he needs for success and u GESTURES— WHINGTON—Amid talk of war in Europe last U.

JO, Japan—Since the beginning of the war in China, wars have wondered how piece of China the would eventually try to They were still wondering week when Correspondent Fleisher of the New York Tribune" reported what moved to be the basic policy Japanese cabinet:—Once the army takes Hankow, the been director of the International Red Cross in central China. They agreed that Japan "does not have a ghost of a chance to win the war", since what they have seen convinces them that the Japanese army of occupation, sniped at and harrassed day and night by Chinese guerrillas, is "slowly bleeding to death." As an example, the missionary doctors described how a Japanese division of 20,000 men had been worn down in two months by Chinese guerrillas to 5,000 "without ever fighting a battle." DEATH OF HAYES— NEW YORK—In the quiet of his summer retreat at St. Josephs, N. Y., death (of coronary thrombosis) came last week to Patrick Joseph Cardinal Hayes, 70, Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York since 1919, Prince of the Church since 1924, benign and white-haired "Cardinal of Charities" to the 1,000,000 Catholics of the world's richest archdiocese. Forty-six years a priest, but never pastor of a church, Cardinal Hayes was the first native-born shepherd (which he liked to call himself) of New York. His steady rise in the church he owed to scholarship, administrative ability and an association with his predecessor, John Cardinal Farley, to whom he was successively assistant, secretary, chancellor and auxiliary bishop. Less liberal politically than his colleague and one time schoolmate, Chicago's George William Cardinal Mundelein, Cardinal Hayes was less stern than the two other U. S. princes of the church—Boston's William Henry Cardinal O'Connell, Philadelphia's Dennis Cardinal Dougherty. Six months will probably elapse before the pope, guided by the Vatican's card-index of U. S. candidates, pick a new archbishop of New York. COUNTY Farm Group Opposes $30 Pension Branding the $30 a week for life pension plan as "a mirage toward which the aged will walk endlessly without ever reaching it," the Orange County Farm Bureau this week urged voters to oppose the measure in the November election. "No group or individual," said F. C. Latham, chairman of the tax committee of the organization, "genuinely interested in the welfare of the aged, can do anything but condemn this modern version of rubbing an Aladdin's Lamp and producing a miracle. The proposal is so chimerical that any person who ever analyzed it is at a loss to understand how anybody could put faith into it." Fall Concerts Will Open Next Thursday With Edwin Geber, principal cellist with the federal music project's symphony orchestra as soloist (playing Lalo's "Concerto in D Minor") and Cesar Franck's "Symphony in D Minor" as a special orchestral feature, the opening night of the project's fall and winter schedule will start Thursday evening, September 22. It is even reverent prayerer in this that it absolves from responsibility for sick and suffering. It is the so prayer which works a charm to the individual. For the effect prayer, after all, is not God on the man who prays. prayer unites the individual that Life to which disease amd dissolution are unknown unites him with that Mind imparts to man all the intellect he needs for success and uiness. "All down the centuries that lief has been entertained that is material and mortal, wha fact is, as both reason and elation inform us, man, true spiritual and immortal. The divider who insists that my mortal will be mortal to a tent and purposes. "But when an individual sigh up and intelligently and fully admits that man in theness of God is an immortal exhibit of Life to which relations and distresses are unknn he enters that reverent which is prayer, he makes tional argument which unmines the belief in disease, h ministers that Science treat which dissipates that mesm of mortality." Putting Aside Skepticism "Not a person should wall of this auditorium the same son he was when he came in Mr. Ross in conclusion."

Spread of Science "Christian Science, discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy, is gone as widely abroad perhaps as has the Sermon on the mount," stated the speaker. "In other words it has permeated universal thought. There is hardly person in western civilization who is not talking a different and better language, who is not purging a different and a better life, who is not living in a different world because this woman has lived and labored here." Science Treatment There is no mystery about Christian Science treatment," examined the lecturer, "although the world abounds with people who, while they believe in Science, hesitate to voice its truths because of saying something precious. Any statement, any attitude, any mood which denounces disease as a lying imposition, which exalts Life and health everpresent realities, is science, is legitimate treatment. It is even reverent prayer, revived in this that it absolves God from responsibility for sickness suffering. It is the sort of ever which works a change in individual. For the effect of ever, after all, is not God but the man who prays. Such ever unites the individual with Life to which disease and age dissolution are unknown. It does him with that Mind that parts to man all the intelligence needs for success and useful- the Almighty which hitherto you may have been putting aside. Yours is the life that does not come or age or fail or despair or sicken or fade out; yours is the life which by the grace of God is invincible."

Without a strong growers' organization this industry might still be in the stage of fifty years ago. Prior to 1893, a number of marketing methods were tried. But stability was not attained until the growers united to serve themselves, forming the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Today 200,000 people are directly dependent on the industry for their livelihood. Over half a billion dollars are invested in groves and packing houses in California and Arizona. These figures measure the responsibility of the Exchange in a leadership implicit in representing over three-fourths of the citrus industry. The Exchange cannot be content with the market as it finds it. It must do what no small marketing agency can attempt. It must make markets through the careful expansion of distribution and with the aid of Sunkist advertising. Exchange growers govern directly the policies and administration of their organization. They know that its success rests wholly upon the service rendered its members and the industry. The Exchange needs and merits the active support of growers, business men, bankers and the public. From united effort will result better control of distribution, more energetic selling, increased consumer demand, better returns and the furthered welfare of every citizen of citrus districts.
