Religious Masterpiece Displayed At Knott’s Little Chapel By the Lake By JOE JASON Federal Auto Tax stamps, license taxes, income taxes, Defense bonds and stamps! Adding them all up today, anyone will come to the conclusion that there is hardly a peace-loving dollar in any of the taxes we pay. They are, almost unanimously, fighting dollars, going to fight a war, which is as it should be in a united and determined nation. We can’t lose the one! SPIRITUAL GOOD But there is immeasurable spiritual good when you find someone who, on the side and in addition to full support given to the war effort, is building something constructive and artistic. And building it for the fun of it. You’ll most likely agree the next time you are out to Knott’s Berry Place, between Anaheim and Buena Park, in your own Orange county, and visit the Little Chapel by the Lake, which was opened to the public without fanfare, just before Christmas. LONG, LONG TIME Walter Knott has something there that it will take a long, long time before our public tax dollars go to construct anything like it. Something that will be new long after the battleships we’re buying today are obsolete. It’s a painting of the transfiguration of Jesus of Nazareth, done by the Artist Paul Von Klieben, and its worth a trip clear across the country, and better, to see it.

After hectic sessions, the appropriation was lowered to $7,934,365 and the number of mobile guards for statewide, active duty was revised from 5,000 to 7,000. The administration had opposed the former number as a needless restriction. The bill, SB 36, as finally enacted, carries some reorganization language, but it was so liberalized as to eliminate the serious restrictions against which the administration legislators had been contending. The bill provides for a base pay of $2 a day for guard privates, a quartermaster corps and regimental supply officers. LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS After the passage of the bill, the Legislature adjourned.
