FHA Property Improvement Plan Remains Effective Until June 30 Expiration of the privilege to borrow funds for the purpose of modernization and repair of all types of property through the facilities of the property improvement plan of the Federal Housing administration is scheduled for June 30, of this year and M. E. Beebe, chairman of the Anaheim better housing committee is urging all property owners in need of a liberal financing plan to take advantage of it before that date. "New, forceful ideas and effective changes resulting in increased business are always welcome to any type of business man," said Beebe, "but many times they involve repair, alteration or modernization of a structure which requires an expenditure of cash which the merchant or other store-keeper is not prepared to spend out of funds on hand." However, acting under Title I, this property improvement plan of the Federal Housing administration, banks and other lending institutions approved by the FHA, LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF ANAHEIM BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Building and Loan Association will be held at 187 West Center Street in the City of Anaheim, California, on Monday, the 20th day of February, 1939, at the hour of 7:30 p.m. of said day for the purpose of the election of a Board of Directors for the ensuing year and the transaction of such business as may properly come before such meeting. By order of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Building and Loan Association. he said, "are doing all they can to make credit more generally available to property owners for the purpose of repairing, altering, and modernizing their properties, not only to aid in increased business but to maintain the value of the property itself. Nothing depreciates the value of any kind of structure as rapidly as neglect." The property improvement plan provides for the insurance of any number of loans to improve any number of properties to a single borrower, if the borrower can show evidence of a good credit standing and an assured income, and provided also that the amount of the loan on any one property does not exceed $10,000 in amount. Up to five years is arranged for the repayment of the loan in equal monthly payments. Drug Store Offers Steady Low Prices Jack Osherenka, owner of the R. B. Drug store at 151 W. Center street, is announcing in this week's advertisement appearing on another page of this paper that his firm is determined to meet all competition. In his advertisement you will find many items priced far below the prices for similar items outside of Anaheim. For some time I have been reading the circulars that are being distributed to homes in Anaheim by outside firms handling merchandise similar to ours and I find that the prices advertised are no lower than our everyday prices and in many instances not as low. It is with pleasure that I invite the people of Anaheim and vicinity to come into the Loan Association will be held at 187 West Center Street in the City of Anaheim, California, on Monday, the 20th day of February, 1939, at the hour of 7:30 p.m. of said day for the purpose of the election of a Board of Directors for the ensuing year and the transaction of such business as may properly come before such meeting.

Center Street Anaheim THE POCKETBOOK KNOWLEDGE BY TOPPS The beggar with his tin cup, standing dejectedly on the street corner, asking alms, is seldom seen in California in this era of direct relief, work relief, pensions and social security. But there is undeniable evidence that California has more professional paupers than at any time in its history—and that the nation at large is faced with the problem of a growing class of relief-bred Americans who collect their alms in government checks instead of using the tin cup. Relief has been made more attractive to the indolent and lazy than honest labor. And the sigma that once attached to charity has been replaced by the quack dogma that government owes every person a living. The fundamental fact that government is merely a composite of the people—and that the person on relief, even though his check comes from a government bureau, is actually living on his neighbors—seems to have been completely obscured. That may seem, at first glance, a harsh indictment. But it is also a harsh reality—a condition that both state and national leaders readily admit privately, and that some are willing to discuss publicly. The constantly mounting demands for relief funds (1938 expenditures reached a new all-time high) threaten to bankrupt both the state and federal governments unless a halt is called. California's tax payments to the federal breaking state budget now pending before the legislature calls some $60,000,000 in new taxes largely as a result of increased relief expenditures. But even it is only part of the story, for real costs, in the main, are being nanced on a borrow-as-you-basis—with a constantly pyramidal debt that eventually must be paid, with compound interest workers, farmers, businessmen and every class of producer or taxpayer. Still more serious, according students of the problem, is fact that relief has been so difficult to obtain—and in many cases liberal—that hundreds of thousands of relief recipients ceased to seek work or want work in private industry and are likely to become permanent dependents of government unless there is drastic purge of relief rolls in immediate future. And aggravating the problem is a disposition on the part of unemployed persons to abandon old-fashioned habit of saction against a rainy day because they feel the government will take them if they lose their jobs. California, according to official figures, has some 288 persons on the dole—and problems of thousands additional are receiving partial support from government in one form or another. And WORKING CALIFORNIA—labor, the farmer, the busman and the professional man footing the bill, with between 25 per cent of its income to pay federal, state and taxes! with the government—the latter choice an obvious economic impossibility. Willkie, who first offered to sell out to TVA in 1934, dickered all last year over a fair price for Tennessee Electric Power Co., the chief C. & S. subsidiary involved. An independent audit found the amount invested in T. E. P.'s electric division to be $88,300,000 net; but TVA, mentioning depreciation, would bid no more than $67,000,000. This, plus T.E.P.'s cash reserves, was just enough to take care of its $72,000,000 in senior securities, but left nothing for the common stock—99% of which is owned by C. & S. TVA's Chief Power Engineer Julius A. Krug last week visited Willkie in Manhattan, raised his bid for Tennessee Electric Power Co. to $78,600,000. Willkie accepted. Including cash and odds and ends, the deal netted C. & S. about $80,000,000, a figure it can increase by selling Tennessee Electric's water, ice and transportation properties, which TVA did not want. By and large, the settlement was the best news the utility industry has had in years, gave the most genuine promise yet that utility baiting is nearly over. PULSE— NEW YORK—Dr. George Gallups' American Institute of Public Opinion last week reported 69% of the electorate against a third term for Franklin Roosevelt—down 1% since December, up 65% since the summer of 1937. OVER THE BORDER— LE PERTHUS, Franco-Spanish Frontier—Before a swift northward advance of Rebel Generalissimo Franco's armies, Loyalist resistance last week collapsed in northern Catalonia. With communications cut, food supplies gone, and ammunition exhausted, the Loyalist army disintegrated almost overnight into a disorganized rabble pouring steadily across the French border at the rate of 4,000 an hour. Of the 200,000 men left in the Loyalist army, 150,000 were expected to reach France in safety, 50,000 would probably be captured or surrender before they got there. It was only at the last moment that the French government—after that may seem, at first glance, a harsh indictment. But it is also a harsh reality—a condition that both state and national leaders readily admit privately, and that some are willing to discuss publicly. The constantly mounting demands for relief funds (1938 expenditures reached a new all-time high) threaten to bankrupt both the state and federal governments unless a halt is called. California's tax payments to the federal government, for example, have more than doubled during the past five years—largely as a result of relief costs. And the record-Valencia area could not be expected to hold out long against a full-bodied Franco attack, but meanwhile the world situation might change. The Loyalists still had some money. and a general European war between fascist and democratic powers could still save their cause. RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR By EARLE FERRIS RUDY VALLEE'S broadcast the night he leaves Hollywood for New York or vice versa is always a fast-moving scene. Rudy has been seen to sign letters in elevators on the way from the show while rushing to the car which will whisk him to the railroad station. Rudy returns to Hollywood in March to make a motion picture.

And WORKING CALIFORNIA—labor, the farmer, the busman and the professional man-footing the bill, with between 25 per cent of its income to pay federal, state and taxes! It is to be hoped that the legislature, when it considers state budget and the relief blemom will consider the welfare state as a whole. It is hoped that some action will taken to weed out relief child and professional paupers while taking "a free ride" at the expense of their more industrious neighbors. It is to be hoped that such thing will be done to prevent spread of dole-addiction and malice. The Jack Benny gang are all fanciers. Jack and Mary Livingston own a tan cocker spaniel, K.Baker (above) has an airdale pet. Don Wilson an Irish settler Andy Devine an Arkansas houn It was only at the last moment that the French government—after failing to persuade Generalissimo Franco to agree either to setting up a neutral zone or to declaring a general amnesty,—decided to open the French border to as many fleeing soldiers and civilians as cared to enter. Otherwise the Loyalist army might have decided to make a suicidal last stand on the border, possibly resulting in a massacre and an international incident. Safe in France, Premier Negrin offered publicly to mediate the war on three conditions: That Spain be freed of foreign influence (meaning Italians and Germans); that a government be established through a plebiscite (meaning the probable displacement of Generalissimo Franco); that liquidation of the war be accompanied without persecution so that all Spaniards could join in reconstruction. But Generalissimo Franco was reported to have demanded unconditional surrender. Despite the crescendo of peace reports, it seemed more than likely that Dr. Negrin and his loyal ministers would soon transfer the government back to Madrid or Valencia. They had nothing to gain by surrendering, little to lose personally by fighting.

Eddie DeLange, bandleader for Phil Baker's Saturday night broadcasts on CBS, never allows his petite vocalist, Ellisse Cooper, to walk off the stage unescorted. At the conclusion of her numbers, Eddie grabs her for a snappy dance into the wings. Cary Grant, pictured above, who goes by the title of "beadle" in that Sunday night show, "The Circle," will probably play the piano in one of the broadcasts before the show is much older. Cary spends all his odd rehearsal moments playing tunes and improvising. Ronald Colman, president of "The Circle," does the same.

But even that only part of the story, for relief in the main, are being filed on a borrow-as-you-go—with a constantly pyramid-debt that eventually must be with compound interest, by farmers, farmers, business men every class of producer and layer. All more serious, according toents of the problem, is the that relief has been so easy obtain—and in many cases soal—that hundreds of thousands of relief recipients have had to seek work or want work private industry and are likely become permanent dependents government unless there is a tic purge of relief rolls in the mediate future. And aggravating the problem is disposition on the part of many loved persons to abandon the fashioned habit of saving most a rainy day because they the government will take care them if they lose their jobs. California, according to latest figures, has some 280,000 tons on the dole—and probably of thousands additional who receiving partial support from government in one form or another—and WORKING CALIFORNIA labor, the farmer, the business and the professional man—is ing the bill, with between 20-25 per cent of its income going federal, state and local! restore self-respect and industrious habits. The suggestion has been made that a list of all persons on relief be published once a month in their local newspapers—not to embarrass the deserving, but to turn the spotlight on professional "star-boarders." The objection is made that such publication would work an injustice on those forced to accept relief through no fault of their own. It might be noted, however, that delinquent tax lists are published—and that thousands of taxpayers have undoubtedly gone delinquent through no fault of their own during recent years. And thousands of others will soon be delinquent unless relief costs are brought within reasonable bounds. The person who wants work and can't get it is deserving of public aid until he is able to become self-supporting. And the person unable to work likewise is entitled to public support. But Welfare Employes Measure Endorsed The Orange county Tuberculosis and Health association, went on record early this week, in regular monthly meeting, as endorsing Assembly Bill 747 (Senate Bill 630), proposed legislation submitted at this session of the legislature. "The organization gave serious thought to the bill which proposed the creation of a department of certification of social workers for the state of California, so that all social workers, meeting certain qualifications, would be certified," stated Mrs. Mabel Dixson, Santa Ana, one of the directors. California relief rolls should be thoroughly purged of the lazy and indolent who have the fallacious idea that the government owes them a living.
