Your Breakfast Toast Costs More, But Don’t Blame War, Says OP M Holiday Lights Fade When War Appears Along Coastline "Forty Miles of Christmas Smiles" faded from the face of Orange county coastline this week with the announcement from the coast committee that the annual Yuletide lighting contest will be suspended this season and for the balance of the present emergency. Though many coast communities had already completed shrines and other festive decorations for the holiday season at considerable expense, to attempt the program under constant threat of blackouts was deemed unwise by its sponsors.

Jones Secretary of Commerce, announced today that the executive personnel of the Economic Defense board has merged with the personnel of the Commercial and Financial division of the Coordinator's office form the American Hemisphere division of the Economic Defence board.

Do not make a nuisance of yourself by becoming hysterical or by frantic rushing through the streets. Above all, STAY AT HOME, PUT OUT LIGHTS, LIE DOWN, KEEP AWAY FROM WINDOWS. KEEP COOL. Your Breakfast Toast Costs More, But Don’t Blame War, Says OP M Do you want to know why your breakfast toast costs you more this morning than it did last year? If your grocer explains increased bread prices by saying, "It’s the war"—correct him because it’s not the war. At present time we have in the United States a large “surplus” of wheat that is stored in bin, instead of being made into bread. REAL ANSWER The real answer, according to the Consumer Division, Office of Price Administration, is in the increased cost of ingredients that average roughly a little more than a half cent over the October, 1940, level. The largest single factor in increasing bread-ingredient costs has been higher prices for flour. But this rise in flour prices has not been caused by the war or the defense program. It is largely the result of legislation enacted by Congress last spring, providing for loans to farmers on wheat, corn, tobacco, and rice to establish 85 per cent of parity prices. HIGHER RATE Reflecting this higher loan rate, the price of flour rose 10.2 per cent at retail between last April and September and 22.7 per cent at wholesale. The average retail price for the typical one-pound loaf of bread, according to government figures, in October, 1940 to 8.5 cents in September, 1941. Protect River Land Farm Advisor Urges Orange county farmers were reminded today that they should be acting now to protect stream banks on their land that are likely to be undermined and washed away by heavy storm waters, if they should occur this winter. The recommendation comes from Farm Advisor Harold Wainberg. The advisor said that stream protection and channel clearing work should be completed before Christmas. Land along streams subject to bank erosion, he added, is often among the most productive on the farm and certainly should be saved if possible. The most economical method of reducing steam bank washing, said Wahlberg, is by establishing vegetation on the stream's edge. One effective way of holding this is by planting willow cuttings about four feet long and at least two inches in diameter. A post note auger should be used to dig holes deep enough so that only the top six inches of each cutting protrudes above the ground. If the cuttings are driven into the soil, said Wahlberg, they will probably be damaged and few of them will survive. Record Milk Producer Dies At Ferndale With a life’s work well done, "Silken Girls," a Jersey cow and producer of 7,368.87 pounds of terfat and 129,037 pounds of milk died this week at Ferndale, C.

PRODUCTION ABILITY It must run in the family five daughters of "Silken Girl" proving the exceptional productivity by averaging 809.14 pounds butterfat and 14,819 pounds each.

Day Lights Fade On War Appears Along Coastline By Miles of Christmas faded from the face of a county coastline this week the announcement from the market demand. Christmas tree sales during the next five days were expected to boom today according to the US Forest service in the California region. Several hundred thousand trees harvested by cutters are now in Southland warehouses awaiting the Christmas rush. AVERAGE TREE According to the Forest Service, the average Yuletree will be five feet high and will cost the retail purchaser between $1 and $3 depending on shipping distance and market demand. Red fir or "silver tip" will bring the best prices because of its symmetry and upright foliate, while the popular Douglas fir and white fir will be within the range of every family pocketbook, according to foresters. PRIVATE LANDS The Forest service said that a considerable portion of the Christmas tree business this year has been conducted on private lands, handled by national forest rangers through cooperative agreements with land owners. Three Quarters Of County Farmers Back Up “Food-For-Freedom” Pledge More than 75 per cent of Orange County's farmers and orchardists have signed up for the Food-for-Freedom program, it was disclosed today following the Orange County Agriculture Defense board meeting last week to tabulate results of the county wide signup campaign recently inaugurated by the US Department of Agriculture. Walter Schmid, chairman of the board, indicated that 5412 farms had enlisted in the signup. Many more farmers are expected to join in this voluntary signup to indicate to the government their readiness to share in the program for greater food production when called upon. The present signup assures the Defense board that Orange county will produce more than its quota of milk, eggs, hogs and livestock marketing next year. The 1942 goals set for Orange county by the national authorities require an increase of 8 per cent in milk production, 15 per cent in egg production, 7 per cent in hogs marketed. An increase of 22 per cent in cattle marketings over the 1940 marketings is asked for. A home garden for every orchard is being encouraged by the defense board.

War Strikes At Tourist Attractions After Rose Tournament Cancellation War emergency that made necessary cancellation of Pasadena's Tournament of Roses, and transfer of the accompanying Rose Bowl football game, struck more deeply at sports and tourist attractions in the Southland today following cancellation this week of the All-Star Pro football game at Los Angeles, and abandonment of the 1942 racing season at Santa Anita park. Here in Orange county the coastline communities' Christmas lighting display was called off. In Los Angeles, radio tours previously conducted through Columbia and National Broadcasting studios were discontinued. Even as far inland as Boulder Dam, defense precautions were rigid with the closing of the dam to all tourists. All cars approaching the site are conveyed rapidly across the face of the structure without stopping. Any and all public gatherings along the Pacific coast deemed by the War Department to constitute a defense hazard through the congregation of people and automobiles in one place are expected to be placed under military ban. The same strict defense rules will also probably placed on the Christmas light displays capable, according to military authorities, of being used as landmarks by enemy bombers.

THREE OF THE WAYS A CP GAS RANGE WILL HELP YOU SAVE VITAMINS VITAMIN-SAVING BURNERS. Simmer settings make possible the "waterless" cooking of vegetables, recommended by vitamin authorities. VITAMIN-SAVING BROILER. No pre-heating necessary. Meats retain more vitamin-rich juices because cold-start broiling enables you to broil the portion nearest the flame, without overcooking the under side. VITAMIN-SAVING OVEN. CP controlled heat enables you to roast meats with minimum of water, and yet avoid drying-out. Low temperature CP roasting also enables you to reduce meat shrinkage as much as 20%. Cook the vitamin-saving way, with a CP gas range YOU'LL FIND IT EASY to serve delicious, vitamin-rich vegetables, the CP" waterless" way. Nutritionists say that the waterless method is by far the best—and with a CP (Certified Performance) gas range all you need do is turn the burner handle till it" clicks" for simmering.
