Gas and Oil Worker’s County Wage Avg. Is $1,935 Yearly Petroleum and natural gas production workers in Orange county today receive an average annual wage of $1,935 while the state-wide average of all employees insured under the State Employment Act by the California Department of Employment is $1,188. Employees in refining of petroleum receive a yearly wage of $2,301, the department said. Total wages to all employees in the county for the period reviewed by the unemployment department were $20,238,802, of which $2,408,-064 or 11.9 per cent was paid to insured employees of the crude petroleum and natural gas production, and the petroleum refining industry. The survey revealed that the California average wage of employees of the petroleum industry was 24.3 per cent greater than the state salary average. The oil industry's annual payroll in California amounts to $72,851,-920, it was stated. Defense Committee Studies County CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1— Harry Overmeyr, Huntington Beach, chairman; A. A.

Strang, San Clemente, Many Local Farmers, Orchardists Indicate Cooperation In “Food-For-Freedom” Plan Many Anaheim farmers and orchardists have already responded to the government's appeal for increased supplies of certain crops including milk, eggs, hogs, and home gardens. This is the encouraging progress report today to Walter Schmid, chairman of the USDA Defense board in Orange county, following the first sign up week, proclaimed recently by the Orange County Board of Supervisors. “It is a large job,” said Schmid, “to contact all farmers in the county and ask their cooperation in this new emergency program. We have had splendid cooperation and access to all farm meetings to get the message to local farmers. We must depend on their willingness to sign up. Those who could not answer the roll call recently are urged to stop in at the headquarter office this week and indicate their intentions for 1942 production. The office is Room 203, 622 North Main street, Santa Ana. This invitation covers all farmers and orchardists, regardless of size of enterprise.” The defense board, Schmid advised, is not obligated to accept the AAA program, but may vol- Petroleum Demand The 1941 demand for United States petroleum products will be so great that if the entire amount were to be run through one modern gasoline pump at a service station, operating eight hours a day, five days per week, it would require 45,000 years to pump it all.

Petroleum Demand The 1941 demand for United States petroleum products will be so great that if the entire amount were to be run through one modern gasoline pump at a service station, operating eight hours a day, five days per week, it would require 45,000 years to pump it all. A petroleum marketer's figures revealed the fact that the total demand is 65 billion gallons of products this year—an average of 180 million gallons per day. If only a single day's needs were run through the same pump, it would be kept working for 120 years. Why now is a good time to buy a car!

Based on what we know, we sincerely believe that now is the time to buy! You may wonder why we tell you this, when actually we might profit by not doing so. You see, there are only so many cars to sell this year—and by holding them perhaps we could make more money later on. But that's not the point . . . we expect to be in this business long after the emergency ceases to exist—and naturally we want to keep our customers. When we say that now is a good time to buy a car we actually mean that it may be a lot harder to buy an automobile later on. We hope we're wrong about this. But we believe we are right. Why harder? Well, in the first place—right now the federal tax is only 7%—actually just 3½% more than it has been. There is every indication that it may be much higher. Next, we feel that with rising labor and material costs, it may be years before prices are lower than they are today. Moreover, credit requirements are now only one-third down and eighteen months for the balance. The trend is toward even greater restric- McCoy Motor Co. 320 N. LOS ANGELES ST., ANAHEIM Orchardists Indicate "For-Freedom" Plan The need for increases in the commodities mentioned is immediate and obvious, he stated. The nation is committed to furnishing large food supplies to Great Britain and will be called upon to feed the starving millions following the present conflict. In addition, the nation has undertaken a better set for its people. Winter Driving Rules Restricted As Precaution Slippery roads and poor visibility cause automobile accidents to rise sharply during winter months. To help motorists drive safer this winter, are the following rules: 1. Check the car, especially electrical and exhaust systems, windshield wiper, tires and brakes. 2. Maintain adequate vision through windshield and windows. 3. On slippery pavements keep speed low and car in gear. 4. Avoid situations demanding quick stops or sudden turns. 5. Chains are necessary when driving on ice and snow. But even then, speeds greater than 20 miles per hour on ice is dangerous. 6. Slow down when approaching curves, with or without chains. 7. Anticipate ice on bridges, inaded spots, around curves and over hills, even though most of the movements is dry. 8. Start and accelerate slowly. State Sells 50,000 Christmas Trees For Yule Season Fifty thousand Silver-tip Christmas trees, many of which will adorn Anaheim homes this Yule-tide season, are today being prepared for market in National forest areas of California, according to the Automobile club of Southern California. Before Christmas each year, the regional forester's office receives an estimate of the maximum and minimum number of trees that can be sold. In addition to beneficial thinning of thick stands of young fir trees, sales to operators brings in more than $12,000 into the U.S. treasury. Twenty-five per cent of this money goes to California counties for local schools and roads. While limited commercial tree cutting is permitted under government supervision, California tree poachers will be prosecuted under provisions of the State Penal code. Highway patrol officers will investigate shipments of trees to determine legal possession. Members of C of C Attend LA Clinic Robert H.

Chains are necessary when living on ice and snow. But even when speeds greater than 20 miles an hour on ice is dangerous. 6. Slow down when approaching curves, with or without chains. 7. Anticipate ice-on bridges, inaded spots, around curves and over hills, even though most of the movements is dry. 8. Start and accelerate slowly to avoid spinning the wheels. 9. Pump brakes when stoppping to avoid locking the wheels. 10. If a skid should start, turn front wheels in the direction that rear wheels are skidding. Members of C of C Attend LA Clinic Robert H.

Statement by real dealer tions—perhaps to fifteen, or even twelve months. And then, new cars today are more attractive than they ever have been, but after the first of the year all bright metal may be missing as decorative trim. Yes, it is our sincere feeling that it may not only be harder to buy a new car later... Naturally you’d expect us to say that now is a good time to buy a Ford. That’s true—because we’re convinced that the new 1942 Ford is the finest Ford car ever built. In quality, it’s sound to the last detail. Defense requirements have been met in full without a single reduction in goodness of the car mechanically. From the standpoint of beauty, inside and out, more changes have been made in the 1942 Ford than in any other car. The luxurious new interiors, combining rich fabrics, leathers and plastics, are making a big hit with the ladies! And now for the first time you may choose either a “6” or an “8”. So to our customers and friends we say in all sincerity—now is the time to buy a car—and there never was a better time to buy a Ford. Motor Co. PHONE 2288 Local Police Over Kick By Automobile Orange county hospital following the accident. According to police records last week, Kenneth Budd, 521 E. Adele st., was struck by an automobile driven by John P. Connors, Riverside, in the 800 block E. Center st., Thursday afternoon. He was released following doctor's treatment for a skinned arm. The driver was absolved of blame after investigation. It was learned the boy ran directly in front of Conner's car as he slowed down for the E. Center st. railroad crossing. Over Here During the past eighteen monththe bombing of Britain cost 41,900 lives. In the same period, 51,760 lives are reported to have been lost "over here" by traffic slaughter. It appears that it is easier to dodge falling bombs in Britain than the speeding automobiles in the United States.
