Repair of Homes Possible Under FHA Property Improvement Plan Reminding property owners of the approach of winter weather with its attendant wear and tear on homes, M. E. Beebe, chairman of the Anaheim Better Housing committee, suggested today that contemplated improvements and repairs to existing structures be started now. “If you have put off making repairs, now is the time to go ahead with the improvements you've planned,” Beebe said. “Then let it rain and blow—for it will be dry and warm if your home is well painted and weather stripped, snuggly roofed, properly heated, and in good repair.” Declaring that property owners should aid, not only themselves, but employment of labor as well, by building and remodeling where need exists, Beebe observed that astonishing results can be achieved with an out-of-date home through repairs and modernization. For instance, he said, a new roof, spacious closets, or an extra room or two may be added, convenient built-in furniture may be installed, or new hardwood floors may be laid. The lack of ready cash need be no deterrent, Beebe continued, as it is possible to borrow from local private financial institutions under the property improvement credit plan of the federal housing administration with the government insuring the lender against loss. Under this plan, a home owner with a reputation for paying his bills and with a steady job, may obtain a loan repayable in easy installments. “Any qualified lender in Anaheim is ready to help you in acquiring a better home—both inside and out—and to explain the convenient property improvement credit plan which the government has contributed for better living conditions and increased employment,” Beebe concluded.

If a man steals your purse, at the point of a gun, IT'S ROBBERY! But if tax cranks and social revolutionists rob you of your home, your farm, your job and your savings, IT'S YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY Your DEFENSE is in your own hands—in your intelligent use of the ballot. The discredited, six-times-defeated "Single Tax" will appear as Proposition No. 20 on your November ballot. This runious proposal would Confiscate Homes and Farms by piling Extortionate Taxes on Land—Higher than Taxpayers could pay. It would wreck trades and industries, skyrocket rents drain the State Treasury of the funds necessary to pay old age pensions to maintain the public schools and other essential functions of government. It would bring chaos, distress and disaster to California. And Remember: You Can't Vote Sales Tax Out, Without Voting "Single Tax" in. The bait of "sales tax repeal" is a deliberate attempt to snare the unwary voter. VOTE "NO!" ON NO. 20! SAVE CALIFORNIA FROM DISASTER California Association Against "Single Tax" 111 Suiter Street, San Francisco Deaths on State Highways Decline A graphic picture of traffic death reductions in California was presented today by Ray Ingels, director of motor vehicles, with the announcement that the total deaths for eight months this year is approximately the same as the total for seven corresponding months last year. The figures show 1,687 deaths during the first eight months of this year as compared with 1,953 for the same period in 1937. In the first seven months of 1937 there were 1,685 deaths. Accidents on rural highways under control of the California highway patrol have declined sharply with 852 deaths for the first eight months of this year.

Pierce, president of the Associated Farmers of Ofange county, spoke in favor of Proposition No. 1. Orange Legion Raps Actions of Council Orange post, American Legion, late last week joined the Anaheim post in denouncing the action of the county council in demanding an investigation of the county juvenile court and juvenile home. The resolution "repudiates and deplores the action of the county council in approving" such an investigation and "characterizes such act as politically inspired."

The ballet is distinctively African in character, a rather usual circumstance. Lincoln Stein, founder of the Ballet Caravan believed that the ballet presented in this country was borrowed and stereotyped European art.

He loves that the homemaker who has several hours every day prepares meals for her family deserves a bright cheerful kitchen equipped with the most convenient automatic appliances and at the same time be able to enjoy what attractive glimpses of the sky and landscape she can obtain through a spacious picture window. Note the wide window Mr. Swenson specified for the kitchen in a Chicago home, illustrated above. It does not detract from the charm of this room of average size, in fact makes the room seem larger, and the window is not so deep that it sacrifices useful wall space. Organized Effort Needed in State "Preaching and prating of partisanship does not aid us, in any manner, in solving our fundamental problems," Assemblyman Thomas H. Kuchel said today. "California's pension law, laws designed to help employment, are not partisan questions. The individual who tries, in this campaign, to make them such, hinders us, rather than helps us, to solve them; he is wasting our time." At the last session of the legislature Assemblyman Kuchel introduced the bill, now become law, continuing WPA sewing projects, self-help unemployment co-operatives to aid the growing number of unemployed in California. "There is no question," continued Assemblyman Kuchel, "that budwood from promising that are being tested in county and southern Californias present time.

Representatives of the California and Arizona citrus industry, acting in concert with representatives of Florida and Texas, met in Chicago last week with executives of food distribution groups with a view to organizing a gigantic sales drive on behalf of citrus fruits. The result of these discussions was an agreement to stage three national citrus sales, for 10-day periods starting November 25, January 26 and March 2, in which the tremendous merchandising strength of these distribution agencies will be put squarely behind the orange and grapefruit crops of three producing areas. Organizations cooperating in the drive are: Independent Food Distributors council, representing 153,000 grocery stores; National Association of Food Chains, with 37,000 retail units; Super-Market Institute, with 6300 stores; National Restaurant association, with 5800 outlets; the National Hotel association with 6500 hotels; National Association of Chain Drug Stores, 4000 stores; National Association of Retail Druggists with 28,000 members and 32,000 stores; International Stewards and Caterers association.

ELECT Davis Superior Court Judge (Dept. No. 1) (This ad paid for by friends of Davis) Institute Friday racts Large Group Cloudwood from promising avocados that are being tested in Orange county and southern California at the present time. Avocado Fertilization Simple nitrogen fertilizers and organic matter are the limiting factors in avocado fertilizer practice to obtain the maximum production, said E. R. Parker, citrus experiment station. Such materials as sulphate of ammonia, calcium nitrate, ammonium phosphate and other simples furnish nitrogen at comparatively low cost. Manures and their equivalents are good sources of organic matter. Cover crops are generally recommended not only as a source of organic matter but also to reduce soil erosion, especially on the hill exposures where most avocado acreage is located. Soil analysis is generally only helpful in indicating the abundance of certain plant food elements, but cannot be depended on to indicate the deficiency of these elements. Soil test are too often made to sell materials. Frosted Trees Few orchards were abandoned because of frost injury solely, according to Dr. J. E. Coit. The acreage that has gone out was affected largely by poor shallow soils, poor drainage and poor varieties. The 1939 avocado crop is estimated at 400,000 field boxes of 40 pounds each, as compared with the crop of 181,000 boxes for 1937. In 1935 the last large crop, 331,000 hectares were harvested. E. C.

Pruning Demostration The Hodson orchards, aged 7 and 12 years, provided a splendid example of the general problem of crowding of avocado trees planted 20 feet apart.
