A. employment. Under the new rules, if one is an alien, he will be ineligible for work in W. P. A. If he is a communist, or a member of any bund, he will be ineligible. He will be compelled to sign an affidavit that he does not belong to any group which seeks to overthrow the American government, and that he will not affiliate with any such organization. All Americans will applaud this new set of requirements, and will welcome the announcement—though it may well be a bit belated—that allegiance will be required to the United States and to our ideals of government, before this government will employ a person in federal works projects. At the same time, Californians will feel that the same kind of requirement should have been made long ago, and certainly ought to be in force now, with respect to participation by anyone in the funds which the people of this state have raised for relief purposes locally. A year ago, the state legislature passed a bill which provided that no alien should be eligible for relief in California, unless he first declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States; otherwise, the state would send him home.

He must be willing to fight for what he believes to be right. And he must believe that this system of free enterprise and free men, that is the American system, is right. The man who prates of partisanship or politics in this campaign will do, not alone, a disservice to his own cause, but, infinitely more important, will do a disservice to his state and nation. In 1940, as in the time of the sainted Abraham Lincoln, "We are in trying times." In such times, we need good men, proven men, sane and sound men. But, above all, we need American-minded men. Dillon Most of Great Britain's misfortunes in the present war have been the result of lack of preparedness. At no time within the last twenty-five years has there been any valid excuse for that nation's not knowing Germany was getting ready for the war we now have in Europe. France has not been idle, but France has been outnumbered by the Germans. These reflections are written as a warning, not as an unfriendly criticism. England became more than usually stoilid. Not since 1066, when William the Conqueror and his army crossed the English channel from Normandy, have any hostile soldiers invaded the stout little island. Not even in the World War No. 1. The warning is for us. I've been harying on it for a year or more. Our trouble will come from South America. President Vargas of Brazil is rather plainly pro-German. There are a million Germans in Brazil today. There are 4,000 in Venezuela; 3,600 in Columbia; 200,000 in Chile; 20,000 in Paraguay; 10,000 in Uruguay; 236,000 in Argentina. There is a German air base at Trinidad, Bolivia. They didn't go there for the climate. The largest and wealthiest banks in South America are German. $280,975.08 Check On Taxes Received The largest single payment of personal property taxes in Orange county was made Monday by the Standard Oil company to Assessor James Sleeper who received a check for $280,975.08, representing taxes on the Standard Oil leases and mineral rights in the county.

ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County APPEARING IN THE FOLLOWING: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Costa Mesa Globe Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Pleasantia Courier Anaheim Gazette Seal Beach News La Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress SURVEY ORANGE COUNTY FOR DEFENSE PURPOSES While it may be some little time before participation in war is brought directly home to Orange county people, the county already has been made part of a preliminary lining-up for defense purposes. Along with the rest of California it is to be surveyed and listed as to its potential resources which might be required for defense. The work is divided so far into two sections, one having to do with man-power and one having to do with material resources. Governor Olson has named Judge Harry Westover as head of a committee in the county to survey the man-power situation, and associated with him is H. R. Brinkerhoff. The idea is to have listed for ready use the available skilled and unskilled workers who might be useful in connection with defense measures. Under authority of the legislature a special committee of the body was set up to deal with survey of material resources. Committee in turn has undertaken to set up county committees carry on this job. In Orange county William Jerome of San Ana has been asked to head work, he to select his own committee. This effort will include aiding of the mechanical possibility covering such equipment as may be considered useful; more especially the available food, production resources—the ability of the city to produce food supplies. Much of the necessary information on all these lines is already in hand, it is understood. Potentialities of an agricultural county in these directions is great, but the intention is to be available in systematic form: the information about every aspect of the United States for use or national defense organizations. FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California DRIVER'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of articles by H. Taylor, farm leader, veteran observer of government discussions on the current crisis and what this country can do to safeguard popular enterprise. By Ford, who pioneered production methods in the native industry, and who says he built 1,000 planes a day America's air defense—if it did to do the job, free from government meddling—made a present a few days ago which sized the vital part that nature can play in the presidential emergency. Said the fundamental line of doctor the United States is its might of America had its role in agriculture and today dominant position of this nation to be found in the inexhaustible resources of our Ameri-ill and the farmers who till materials for food and clothing directly from the soil. Many natural raw materials are now on American farms. In fact, natural production is our life. No nation in time of peace regression is greater than its supply. American farm produces than this, however. It pro-stable, clear-thinking citizenry bolster the morale of nation. They lead us in the examination of national policies." The statement is both a tribute to challenge to the farming industry. Certainly, it serves to attention of the major job confronts agriculture as the States embarks on the peace-time preparedness. Farms in the United States not only produce a wealth of products which would bulwark our line of supply in the event of war, but they also produce, says Ford, hard-headed, clear-thinking men and women, who can be a factor in keeping America American! Ford also stated, "The coordination of America's strength can only be accomplished through efficient management," and then added: "This applies to farm products as well as industry." California farmers, who lead the nation, both in efficient production methods, and in modern, cooperative marketing methods, would be the first to admit that there is still room for improvement in farm efficiency. And certainly the farming industry stands ready to do its part, in every way possible, in helping the country to achieve the highest possible degree of economic preparedness. But perhaps the greatest contribution that could be made to the efficiency of the farming industry must come from government, rather than the farmer. Government, if it wants to give the farmer more for his farming, should seek to eliminate needless duplications and complications in inspection service; it should eliminate, as much as possible, conflicts in regulations. And it should do its utmost to promote peace on the labor front, so that the harvest and marketing of farm crops can proceed without interruption. In some governmental quarters, there has been an undoubted attempt to regiment agriculture during recent years—an effort to use totalitarian methods in a democracy. As Ford well knows, the same attempt has been made in other industries — his own business among them. American agriculture might well paraphrase Ford's statement, when he expressed confidence that he could make 1,000 planes a day—if allowed to do it his own way, with the advice and aid of aeronautics experts, instead of the interference of government bureaucrats. If the government will let the farmer do his farming—free from government meddling—American agriculture will work from sun-up to sun-down to keep supplies...

High School Auditorium Adults, 25c Children, 15c Come Early for Good Seats GOVERNMENT MAY FORCE PARTIAL MERIT SYSTEM Whatever final action is taken on a "merit system" for county employees, it has become evident that some sort of regulations will be adopted in the form of a county ordinance governing the selection of workers in the welfare department. It is possible that such an ordinance will be set up in a way which will make it possible to add other departments later on, as seems advisable. That this will be done is not so much the result of activity in the county itself, as of an indicated requirement on the part of the federal government, which probably will demand that all public bodies handling funds to which the federal government contributes be set up on some sort of civil service basis, rather than as political appointments. This prospect coming from the present administration, may sound funny to some, but it appears to be in the offing nevertheless. The Orange county association of county employees has been working for some time on a "merit system" ordinance. It is now in the hands of the supervisors, and is supposed to be up for consideration early in July. It is possible that final action will not be taken at once, but something of the sort is quite plainly on the way. The proposed ordinance is designed to make it impossible for a department head to let out one employee in order to make room for a friend. At the same time it is intended to make the department head the sole judge or ability of the employees under him. New employees would be drawn from a list of supposedly competent persons, made up without regard of political connection. Nobody would be "blanketed in" for the department head could discharge as he saw fit just the same. Scholarship Won By DeWitt Lyon A scholarship for five years' training in some branch of engineering at Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh is the honor recently won by W. DeWitt Lyon, son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Lyon of Fullerton.. The award is one of 10 George Westinghouse scholarships, and was won in a competitive examination. Young Lyon has make an enviable record in his school work, being valedictorian of his graduation class both from Placentia grammar school and Fullerton union high school. While in high school he received only A grades, a record he maintained during his one year at Fullerton junior college. Lyon also participated in numerous extra-curricular activities while in school.
