Defense is America's first job today. Yet Americans must not become so preoccupied with it that unknowingly they lose the very liberties they are arming to defend. It's time that America awoke to the fact that in the midst of this emergency when "speed, speed and more speed" is imperative in defense production, various labor groups are trying to establish restrictions and controls that are completely alien to our American way of life. Under threat of tying up production they are setting themselves up as little Caesars to dictate liberty or the lack of it to a growing number of American citizens. And slowly, systematically they are succeeding. Here is a case in point. Today the country is arming to preserve all freedoms—Free speech included. Yet free speech is denied by labor unions to many working to defend it. In one manufacturing company turning out equipment for the army, non-union employees are prevented by the union contract from speaking freely at their work. This is what the contract specifies, "... hostile remarks about Local 248, particularly at on insulting its members or officials, directing special attention to the buttons of rival organizations by pointing to them in front of others and similar acts of an aggressive nature against Local 248, particularly when perfromed by persons known for their antagonism to Local 248, have been found to interfere with shop discipline to justify layoffs, or, if necessary, discharges, according to the circumstances." Such is the order that the union has imposed upon the company. In effect it amounts to a denial of the right of free speech. In effect the union has rewritten a part of the Constitution. If such a case were unique it would be cause enough for grave concern. But it is not unique. It is one of a long series of steps that labor has taken to increase its control in this emergency. In the dictator countries loss of freedom was progressive. MWD Will Supply Water for Army Camps in South Assurance that vital defense preparations now progress at March Field and Haan are to proceed unilaterally by a shortage of water thousands of troops in these camps was given today preparations were set under supply these two military nations with soft and filtered from the aqueduct of the politan Water District. When the army author building of Camp Haan enlargement of March Field than a year ago, temporary arrangements were made to water from underground in that general vicinity. This water, however, was ed by the people in the Sardinia and Orange counties who pointed out that the sion of water from the basins would seriously de limited supply upon which sands of acres of citrus depend, and have long water rights. Completion of the Met aqueduct in 1941 made an abundant new supply for Southern California, and recently were taken by the to obtain the water rec maintain the two military scheduled soon to be further larged to accommodate a troops. Following action of the School to Receive Share of $9,512 For Student Help NYA funds totalling $9,512 for the part-time employment of needy high school students have been allotted to the following Orange County high schools: Santa Ana Senior and Francis Willard Jr., in Santa Ana, Marywood Catholic at Anaheim, Anaheim Union, Brea-Olinda at Brea, Capistrano Union at San Juan Capistrano, Fullerton Union, Garden Grove Union, Huntington Beach Union, Laguna Beach, La Jolla Junior at Placentia, Newport Harbor Union at Newport Beach, Orange Union, Tustin Union, and Valencia Union at Placentia. This amount is in addition to the allotment of $14,175 to Fullerton Junior College announced last week by Robert Wayne Burns, Administrator of the NYA for California. Like the college program, the NYA high school program is administered by the schools, according to Burns. School officials select needy students from among those who apply to them. High school students may earn from $3.00 to $6.00 a month. Frank A. Anderson, City Superintendent of Schools, works directly with the NYA student work division in carrying out the program in these schools, which were able last year to employ 284 students on NYA jobs. Ernie DuBois Still Reads the Gazette The following letter was received here this week by Fusileer Bill Wallop. Ernie DuBois will be remembered by many friends here in Anaheim and from the tone in which he writes one would surmise that he still has a soft spot in his heart for his old home. (Editor's Note). DEAR "FUSILEER BILL" While reading the Anaheim Gazette, I noticed some friends and you had met For breakfast at your new home In the Fullerton Hills, And your partners agreed to help foot the bills. The menu sounds quite familiar to me. I've eaten your breakfast at Idyllwild, you see, With John and August helping serve the meal, Brings back memories, You know how I feel. We sure had grand times, I do recall, At Anaheim and Idyllwild, a good gang all. We all did our share of what should have been work, It was made such fun, No one would shirk. "Fusileer Bill" for you that's a new name. But you have had plenty along with your fame, Developed from your years of plugging for water, And your untiring efforts to create laughter. Getting back to the breakfast, "Fusileer Bill" I'm certain all present had more than their fill. Here in San Diego, Away from you all, Boy Scouts In Distribution Of “Fag Bag” At a meeting at Camps last night, "fag bags" were to some 65 Orange county scout troops under the supervision of Harrison E. White, forbation in Orange County. Norman J. Farrell, forevisor of the Cleveland Forest, states that "fag bag probably accomplished the way of fire prevention the present fire season other one item: Thousand bags have been distributed Los Angeles, San Diego, Motorists to Feel Effect of Defense Tax by Next Year Motorists will begin to feel the effects of the new federal taxes on mortor vehicles when they first pay the $5 tax next year. J. Allen Davis, general counsel for the Automobile Club of Southern California, offers the latest information on the taxes to clarify the requirements for Southern California motorists. The new tax is imposed by Chapter 33A of the Federal Revenue Act of 1941. It calls for the payment of $5 by the registered owner yearly for the use of motor vehicles upon highways. It will not apply prior to February 1, 1942. On new vehicles first used after July 1, the tax is to be pro-rated to the next June 30. Payment of the tax will be evidenced by a suitable stamp or some other device to be determined by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Manner of collection will be prescribed later; such rules have not as yet been published. When tax is past due and remains unpaid, the registered owner is guilty of misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than $25 or imprisonment for not more than thirty days or both. Failure to have and display the "paid up" device will also be a misdemeanor. The tax does not apply to the use of motor vehicles by the United States, state, territory, or District of Columbia. MWD Will Supply Water for Army Camps in South Army Posts Contract for Supply With District Board of Supply Needs Assurance that vital military defense preparations now in progress at March Field and Camp Haan are to proceed unimpeded by a shortage of water for the thousands of troops in training at these camps was given today when preparations were set underway to supply these two military reservations with soft and filtered water from the aqueduct of the Metropolitan Water District. When the army authorized the building of Camp Haan and the enlargement of March Field more than a year ago, temporary arrangements were made to secure water from underground basins in that general vicinity. Use of this water, however, was protested by the people in the San Bernardino and Orange county areas, who pointed out that the diversion of water from the proposed basins would seriously deplete the limited supply upon which thousands of acres of citrus land now depend, and have long standing water rights. Completion of the Metropolitan aqueduct in 1941 made available an abundant new supply of water for Southern California, and steps recently were taken by the army to obtain the water required to maintain the two military centers, scheduled soon to be further enraged to accommodate additional troops. Fullerton Trounces Pasadena J. C. 7-6 The finger was pointed at the "team to beat" in the Eastern conference for the 1941 junior college football championship last week when Ed Goddard's Hornets, 1940 runners-up, defeated Pasadena 7 to 6, before a capacity crowd Friday night in the Fullerton stadium. Pasadena is the team that the week before trounced Santa Ana jaysee, 20 to 7. Fullerton scored its touchdown and added the extra point in the second quarter. First the Hornets smashed down to the Pasadena's 2-yard line where Pasadena held Evans' kickout and was taken by Jesse Bryant on the 46 and run back to Pasadena's 21. A couple of line plays yielded three yards. From the 18 Bill Lewis passed into the end zone to Gene LaShell. Al Foster kicked goal, adding the point that proved the difference between a win and a tie. Pasadena also made its touchdown, in the third quarter, on a pass. Evans tossed 24 yards to End Jack Simison and he ran from the 30 to Fullerton's 23. Another Evans heave to End Vic Lauricelli was caught on the 5 and run over. Ross Winton's try for point was wide. Fullerton was inside Pasadena's 10 on two other occasions, once after a 50-yard pass from Lewis to La Shell. Except for its touchdown thrust, Pasadena was never inside Fullerton's 35. The Hornets rolled up 322 yards to 183 and 7 first downs to 6. Attendance was unofficially estimated at 10,000. It was a larger crowd than witnessed last year's Santa Ana-Fullerton thriller on Thanksgiving Day. Review of WPA For Six Years Period Shown New Roads Lead Project With Park Improvements And Construction Next Enough highway construction by the WPA in Orange county to build a road from Santa Ana to beyond Santa Barbara is disclosed today in a progress report of the Southern California administrator's office covering a six-year period from July, 1935, through June, 1941. The report shows a total of 185.1 miles of highway, roads and streets were built in the county in addition to 54.7 miles of rural roads, 78.8 miles of urban streets and alleys, and 51.6 miles of park roads. A small city of 7794 could sit in the seven stadiums, grandstands and bleachers built and improved in the county, according to the report, which also lists construction and improvement of 19 parks covering a total area of 611 acres. Tennis players of the county are enjoying use of seven new courts built by WPA during this period. Other outdoor recreational facilities listed in the report include improvement of school playgrounds and four athletic fields, and construction of a horseshoe court and a swimming pool, two wading pools and a band shell. Golfers are digging divots over nine new holes added to a golf course in the county as a WPA project. In the field of public utilities and sanitation WPA projects were responsible for construction and EBELL SECTION HEARS TALK ON ORCHIDS H. J.

Following action of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Water District in approving a contract for sale of aqueduct water to the two army posts, bids are to be opened on October 21 by the construction quartermaster at Camp Haan for the building of a ten-mile pipe line that will deliver water to the army camps from Lake Mathews, the principal storage reservoir of the giant Colorado river aqueduct, and now holds about 34-billion gallons of Colorado river water. Water from this huge basin is scheduled to be flowing into the two camps by February 1. Water delivery works to be built by the army to tap the water supply of the Metropolitan aqueduct will include besides the pipe line a reservoir and a pumping plant, the water from Lake Matthews to the higher elevation of the military reservations. It has been indicated that the army camps will require service up to the eight million gallons of water a day, and the supply is to be soft and filtered. Legislation adopted in the state legislature, it was pointed out by Chairman Whitsett, enables the district to make aqueduct water available for federal and state use. Boy Scouts Assist In Distribution Of “Fag Bags” At a meeting at Camp Irvine last night, "fag bags" were issued to some 65 Orange county boy scout troops under the supervision of Harrison E. White, for distribution in Orange County. Norman J. Farrell, forest supervisor of the Cleveland National Forest, states that "fag bags" have probably accomplished more in the way of fire prevention during the present fire season than any other one item: Thousands of the bags have been distributed in the Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco areas. Fullerton was inside Pasadena's 10 on two other occasions, once after a 50-yard pass from Lewis to La Shell. Except for its touchdown thrust, Pasadena was never inside Fullerton's 35. The Hornets rolled up 322 yards to 183 and 7 first downs to 6. Attendance was unofficially estimated at 10,000. It was a larger crowd than witnessed last year's Santa Ana-Fullerton thriller on Thanksgiving Day. Farm Income Exceeds Costs Harvest of the largest avocado crop in the history of the California industry was concluded in September. The new crop is expected to be 10 to 20 per cent larger. September prices for oranges were the highest in three years. Size of the current Valencia crop has been exceeded only once. Walnut harvest is in full swing, with yields and quality good in most southern counties. The wine grape crop is short and prices are higher than last year. These facts are emphasized in a monthly review of Southern California agriculture prepared by the Los Angeles County Chamber of Commerce and published yesterday by the Board of Supervisors. For the first time in 21 years, national farm prices in September exceeded the prices, interest, and taxes paid by farmers. Southern California farmers shared these benefits. "With the main offices of cooperative and independent firms handling the largest fruit and vegetable business in the world located here, Los Angeles has for years been the shipping and receiving center of the richest agricultural area in the nation," the review states. This area includes the ten Southern California counties. "Second only to New York in fruit and vegetable unloads," the review continues, "Los Angeles ships to other parts of the United States an estimated volume of more than 125,000 carloads of produce each year." Pure humanity, friendship, home, the interchange of love, bring to earth a foretaste of heaviness. They unite terrestrial and other outdoor recreational facilities listed in the report include improvement of school playgrounds and four athletic fields, and construction of a horseshoe court and a swimming pool, two wading pools and a band shell. Golfers are digging divots over nine new holes added to a golf course in the county as a WPA project. In the field of public utilities and sanitation WPA projects were responsible for construction and improvement of three electric power plants, 25.9 miles of water mains and distribution lines; 35.7 miles of storm and sanitary sewers and 427 manholes and catch basins. Prevention of forest fires in the county was aided by construction and improvement of 60.5 miles of firebreaks, fire and forest trails. Untold damage was probably avoided by extermination of nearly 2,000,000 rodents by WPA over the six-year period, while water erosion was combatted by construction of 30,900 feet of retaining walls and revetments of 680 control dams in the canyon areas. One of the more important projects listed in the report was construction of a wharf, adding 8000 feet of waterfront with a total area of 26,000 square feet. Orange county improved more than three times as many acres as was done in Los Angeles county. Total, other than road, airport or mosquito control work is 11,308 acres, as compared to 2946 acres in the neighboring county.
