He also cited parts of Hess' book regarding airplanes construction for the air-control of other countries. "The airplane industry in the United States is expanding. In 1931, 10,000 people were engaged in the manufacture of planes in America. Of these planes 85 per cent were devoted to peace-time pursuits. In 1941 the production was 1,500 a month. In 1936 the Douglas Aircraft corporation had 3,200 people employed; at the present time 32,000 men are on the payrolls," he stated. "At the present time there are 47 factories engaged in the manufacture of planes in the United States; 11 factories are devoting their time to the manufacture of engines exclusively; six factories alone devote their efforts to production of airplanes propellers. More than 280,000 are at present engaged in the making of airplanes at the present time," he declared. By this time next year a half million employees will be engaged. "The airplane industry in Southern California makes more than 60 percent of all those made in America, the field of activities extending from Burbank to San Diego," he stated in the course of his remarks. In covering the activities of the airplane industry he stated that a weekly payroll of $10,000,000 was distributed by the various companies; the payroll of his corporation alone amounting to $1,100,000 for last week. "The peak of production," he said, "will not come until a year from now." In 1933 the Douglas Aircraft corporation was established at Santa Monica; later enlarged to include Culver Field, the enlargement being in pinemetal fashion.

Last week the committees outlined the importance of having a house number and reasons for placing it where it can be easily seen and read. Whenever a building permit for a new residence or business building is issued by the City Building department, a house number is issued for the building. In most cases, the number is plainly visible for a year or more, but, as the house or store grows older, curious things happen to make the numbers obscure, or in some cases illegible. Occupants rarely ever look at their own house numbers and, as a result, fail to observe the fact that they frequently need attention. A canvass of the city shows that some of the most common faults are the following: 1. Trees, shrubs, and vines sometimes cover the number or make it invisible from the street. Suggestion: move the number or trim the growth. 2. Numbers painted the same color as the surface to which they are fastened. Suggestion: Paint number a contrasting color which will make easy reading possible. Always have number contrast in color with background. 3. For various reasons, numbers often defested, rusted, and partly missing. Suggestion: replace old number with new, well-selected type. 4. Numbers unable to be seen at night: Suggestion, lighted numbers are the only kind which can be seen at night. There are several good illuminated numbering units on the market, and since finding your place at night may be as important is finding it in the daytime, these fixtures are highly recommended. Examples may be seen on many of the newer residences in the city. No number, whether painted on the house or store, or fastened in position, will be visible at night unless the light from the exterior lighting fixture falls directly upon the number. If the number is in a shadow, either in front of the light or behind it, the number will be invisible or almost completely obscured. Suggestion: place number where it may be easily seen by daylight and if possible, where it will be illuminated by an exterior light. If this combination cannot be accomplished, place another lighting fixture for the purpose of lighting the number. Check your own situation by looking at it tonight. 5. Try to place your number near the front door or entry way. That is where people look to find a number. A good clear, preferably enameled, curb number is also effective, but may be obscured by a parked car. 6. Type and size of numbers are of importance. Numbers should be at least 2½ inches tall and spaced not closer than 1 inch to each other nor more than 3 inches apart. If your number is far from the street, it should be larger. Avoid placing numbers too close together. Select types of numbers that are of standard design and easy to distinguish. The important thing is to check your own number right now and decide what should be done to make it serve you best at all times.

BAKERSFIELD DOWNED Keeping up their stride the Aces Tuesday night took the Bakersfield crew into camp in an 11-inning-game, 2-1. It was anyone's game up to the last out. DeVolder assumed the mound duties for the Aces, putting himself on the hot spot by loading the bases in the first frame, with none away... Good support by his teammates pulled him out of the hole, and from then on it was a pitching duel between DeVolder and Johnson, ace man for the visitors. The game was scoreless until the sixth frame, when the visitors shoved one across. Both teams were blanked until the last of the ninth when the Aces were presented a run through Johnson's erratic pitching; three were on, with two away, when he walked DeVolder, putting Whipple across the pan with the tying run. Both teams were blanked in the tenth. The winning run came across in the eleventh when Harrison singled to right was sent along on Reyes' sacrifice and slid over Carnival Pet Show Held August 28 The first Carnival and Pet Show to entertain both little and big kids will be given at the YMCA house at 407 S. Philadelphia St., August 28 at 2 p.m. In charge of arrangements are B. J. Henry and Mrs. Marie Johnson, Anaheim recreation leaders of WPA projects. During the afternoon, there will be pet races of all kinds, pet shows, exhibition of craft work, and booths serving orange juice, pop corn and peanuts. Prizes will be awarded to winners by judges chosen from the parents. All children interested in registering their pets for races or the show should do this at the YMCA house by Monday of next week. Jimmy Webb is the registrar for the pet show and Miss Vera Torres will register pets for the races. Personal liberty is the paramount essential to human dignity and human happiness.—Bulwer-Lytton. Lower Tax Rate Adopted by MWD Continued from page 1 this year marks the completion of the giant Colorado River Aqueduct in its initial development, a construction program which involved an additional investment of $7,-500,000 in District bond funds. The tax rate applies to the thirteen cities which comprises the Metropolitan Water District. These cities are Anaheim, Beverly Hills, Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica and Torrance. Financed by a bond issue of $220,000,000 voted by a ratio of five to one in 1931, the giant waterway actually has been built and made ready for service at a construction cost of approximately $187,000,000. The great savings that have been accomplished in building the aqueduct have been reflected in lower tax rates than remainder of the season each night would be ladies' night, with the nominal tax fee collected. Aces will conclude their home games on August 28, when they meet Stockton. In between they play Bakersfield and Fresno, the sixth frame, when the visitors shoved one across. Both teams were blanked until the last of the ninth when the Aces were presented a run through Johnson's erratic pitching; three were on, with two away, when he walked DeVolder, putting Whipple across the pan with the tying run. Both teams were blanked in the tenth. The winning run came across in the eleventh when Harrison singled to right was sent along on Reyes' sacrifice and slid over the plate on a close play when DeVolder hit to center. Stagg and Manager Smith were chased to the showers in the tenth when Stagg disputed a third strike with the umps; Smith cut in on the argument and both got the thumb. A double-header will be played this evening, starting at 7 o'clock. Ladies will be admitted free, with the usual tax fee being paid. The brand of ball being handed out recently merits a far better gate and fan interest than is being shown at present. Burbank, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Marino, Santa Ana, Santa Monica and Torrance. Financed by a bond issue of $220,000,000 voted by a ratio of five to one in 1931, the giant waterway actually has been built and made ready for service at a construction cost of approximately $187,000,000. The great savings that have been accomplished in building the aqueduct have been reflected in lower tax rates than otherwise would have been necessary, it was stated today by Board Chairman W. P. Whitsett. On June 17 the aqueduct made its first delivery of softened and filtered water to several of the District cities. On August 1, the District officially passed from a construction to an operating organization. Colorado River water now being delivered to District cities is softened and filtered crystal clear, and District engineers declare the water to be of a quality unexcelled in Southern California.

Center St. Anaheim Phone 3521 Assessed Values Orange County Show Decrease Valuations Placed at Million and a Half Less Than In 1940 Taxable tangible property in California has reached an assessed value of $7,355,500,000. This is an all-time high for the base to which county, city and district tax rates apply, according to William G. Bonelli, fourth district member of the State Board of Equalization. The record tax roll, applying principally to real property and improvements, includes both common property, assessed locally, and utility holdings, the assessed value of which is determined by the Board. In Orange county, the tangible property subject to local taxation was assessed at $190,812,053 in 1941, as compared with $192,370,-150 in 1940. This represented a decrease of 1,558,097, or .81 per cent. The state-wide list of taxable tangible property increased in value more than $217,000,000, a gain of 3.04 per cent. The common property, assessed locally, gained $195,000,000, or 3.16 per cent, and utility property evaluated by the Board of Equalization, was up $22,000,000, or 2.28 per cent. "Assuming that local subdivisions could keep expenditures at 1940 levels, the $217,000,000 increase in assessed values would make possible tax reductions in at least 4,000 of the State's 4,574 taxing jurisdictions," Bonelli said. "Accordingly, the 1941 average tax rate for the State could drop from $4.18 to $4.06 per $100 of assessed valuation." Pot Luck Picnic For War Veterans Two thousand veterans of all wars, their families and friends, will assemble on the beach at Oceanside next Sunday to participate in the first annual All Veterans pot luck picnic, held under the auspices of Oceanside Allied Veterans' council. The days program will open at 10 a.m. with the impressive ceremony of posting the colors, with Co. A, California State Guard as the guard of honor, assisted by musical organizations and drill teams. A good program of events has been arranged. All veterans are requested to bring their hardware and cups.. Coffee, sugar and cream will be furnished by the committee. The less people know, the harder it is for them to keep it to themselves. Employment Calls Are Varied Ones Varied requests for help are being received by the employment bureau of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, as is shown by the range in calls. Among the requests listed are those for mechanics, auto workers, cooks, waitresses, service station operators, yard men and odds and ends. To date quite a few have been given employment. On the other hand those in need of work seem somewhat reluctant in handling in their names, thus slowing up, somewhat, the purpose for which the bureau was incepted. It is suggested that persons who would welcome work by the hour or day register at the chamber office in the city hall. The best way to remove a stupid idea is to provide a good one to take its place.
