Southland To Have Two Additional Guayule Nurseries How far will the rubber in your tires stretch? If it will reach to 1944, maybe you might arrange to get new rubber as a result of the 50,000 ton harvest predicted by the Salinas Guayule nurseries. The United States Budget bureau has approved of the planting of two new guayule nurseries of 500 acres each, in the Southland, according to Major Evan W. Kelley, director of the Guayule Rubber project. One of these will be located down near Oceanside, and the other near Indio. They, with the established Salinas nursery, will be capable of providing seedlings sufficient to plan 99,000 acres in the spring of 1943, with the following year to bring the first harvest. Information on rubber plantings has been sent out by Salinas Chamber of Commerce, which points out that thousands of acres of land, both irrigable and non-irrigable, would be needed for the project. It further points out that the project offers good rent to land owners. Newspaper "Hank" reports that a Western Union messenger took a telegraph into the immense new W. D. building in Washington—came out three days later as a major in the Air Force. High School Registration (Continued from page 1) Cook, music; Margaret E.

Only letters weighing not more than two ounces will be accepted for overseas air-mail, merchandise and prints being excluded. These restrictions apply to all points outside continental U.S. except Mexico, Central and South America, the West Indies and Caribbean Islands, Alaska, Canada and Newfoundland.

The question is vexing everyone in the country just now so Southern California Automobile club made a nation-wide survey to determine what plans are afoot for the registering of motor vehicles in 1943. This survey showed that California is still undecided as to the means to be employed. Sharing her uncertainty are Illinois, Rhode Island, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Utah, Wyoming, Michigan, Mississippi and Delaware. Conservation of metals is of course, the first consideration with all the states. Many of them will continue the use of their current 1942 plates (which for this state, means also the 1941 plates) in conjunction with windshield stickers, decalcomanias, tabs and metal strips. Only one state, South Carolina, announced that it would issue all new license plates, although Colorado will issue one new plate to be used on the rear of the vehicle, and Arkansas will provide plates for trucks and trailers, but only windshield stickers for passenger cars. All the remaining states responding to the Automobile club's questionnaire, offered some plan involving the use of present plates. "Alcan Highway" Will Be In Use By Early Winter Even with the whole world plunged into the chaos of war too great sister nations of the western world, United States and Canada, are building for both war and peace time, with the greet "Alcan Highway," a vital link in Alaskan defenses, now nearing completion. Secretary of War Henry B. Stimson has announced that the highway will be ready for use by December 1, several months ahead of schedule. It will provide a supply line for the series of bases stretching across Canada from Dawson Creek, B. C., northwest to Whitehorse in the Yukon country, and thence westward Fairbanks, Alaska. Many of the military bases benefit by this new means of transportation, have heretofore been dependent entirely upon airplanes for their supplies. The highway represents approximately 1,600 miles of country. U. S. Engineers, who start construction in March, originally planned only a rough "pioneer road to be completed in a year time. Instead they are producing a truck highway for the entire 1,600 miles, well graded and adequately drained, and with endlessly stretches affording two-way traffic. Major-General Eugene R. Bold is directing the construction which was undertaken under agreement between United States and Canada. Construction crews have labored in all extremes of weather. Sometimes the thermometer registered minus 35 degrees, and pegs could not be driven into frozen ground. Again they wo THE WAR FRONTS INGRAD—An heroic defense has an angry bitter German unified at the gates of this broken bloody city. There is house-fighting of the most desperate type. Bullets scream from doorways and windows. Corpses litter the streets. Unholy Hitler's time-table has been upset by this valiant and hard resistance to the might of the German armies. Result of may be important to the whole war. TH PACIFIC—MacArthur's men are on the move again, leave Japs in their wake. Here too no quarter is asked in the fight zone is given. Heavy destruction of Jap aircraft and damage surface vessels is reported with minor loss to the United States. Nations are that we are definitely gaining air superiority in the Jap thrust through mountains at Port Moresby is being tack. ASKA—Quick raids by U. S. forces resulted in destruction of (7 reported) enemy bombers and damage to Jap seacraft usually no loss to our own forces. The Japs however still have hold in the Aleutians. Only one state, South Carolina, announced that it would issue all new license plates, although Colorado will issue one new plate to be used on the rear of the vehicle, and Arkansas will provide plates for trucks and trailers, but only windshield stickers for passenger cars. All the remaining states responding to the Automobile club's questionnaire, offered some plan involving the use of present plates. Of California's near neighbors, Oregon will depend upon windshield stickers, while Washington, Arizona and Nevada will all use decal stickers with their 1942 plates. This plan will prevail in the Hawaiian Islands also. The most popular plan to be adopted by the states, seems to be the use of a metal tab on present plates. Twelve different states and the Canal Zone have elected this. Five states and the District of Columbia chose metal strips on their 1942 plates; while three states, Delaware, Connecticut and Wisconsin, will use inserts on plates now employed. Construction crews have labed in all extremes of weather. Sometimes the thermometer remained minus 35 degrees, and pegs could not be driven into frozen ground. Again they waded in the sweltering heat of degrees, tormented by the hot mosquitoes which are such a summer pest in the far north. The U. S. Army will use to maintain the highway through the winter months when it will frozen. Plans call for construction of rest camps for persons of truck convoys; barracks engineer maintenance crews, telephone facilities for wear observations. Post-war use will be equally important in linking the far north with Canada and the U.S. States highway and railway tems with Alaska. Anaheim Industrial CANNING PLANT OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITRUS FOODS, INC.. 1460 NORTH OLIVE STREET, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA The processing plant of Southern California Citrus Foods, Inc., formerly known as Cal-Juices, Inc., is one of Anaheim's busy industrial institutions. Thousands of tons of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit are being converted in to canned juice and concentrate, much of which is being purchased by U.S. government agencies. The plant is owned and operated by cooperative citrus packing associations affiliated with Mutual Orange Distributors. It is adding substantially to the returns obtained by M. O. D. growers for their fruit. Its payroll contributes much to the prosperity of Anaheim merchants.

It will provide a line for the series of air stretches across Canada,awson Creek,B.C.,north-west Whitehorse in the Yukon, and thence westward to Alaska.

California Citrus Foods (Continued from page 1) concentrate. Orange and grape-fruit oils which formerly were imported, are in great demand on American markets. Pulp and peel go to the dehydrating department for conversion into cattle food which finds a steady market. In extracting the oils which are a valuable by-product, the plant uses the cold-pack method by means of centrifuges, and recently installed a new still which removes the most of such oil as remains after waste water has passed through the centrifuges. While the plant is situated here in the heart of Orange county's great citrus belt, it draws fruit from a distance as well. Grape-fruit is hauled from 200-mile distant points in Imperial county, and farther still from Arizona. Citrus fruits are brought in 20-tons from Tulare, San Diego and Ventura counties as well as from such nearby communities as Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. GEN. SPAATZ PATS B-17'S ON BACK General Spaatz, commanding general of the Army Air Forces in the British Isles, gives unqualified praise to the performance of the B-17's in action in a letter to the commanding general of the Army Air Forces. The letter reads in part: "The first three operations of our bombers have proven that the training given in the States is excellent, and I hope that you will pass this on to the Training Command and the OTU Command. "The B-17's are far superior to anything in this theatre and are fully adequate for the job. The British themselves admit this and say that with similar equipment" War Conditions Hasten Science In Discoveries No less an authority than Dr. Charles M. A. Stine, vice-president of the Du Pont company and consultant-director of its research activities, has stated that the global war in which we are engaged, has advanced the marvels of science by several decades. Addressing the American Chemical society at its annual meeting recently in Buffalo, N.Y., Dr. Stine told of many of these scientific achievements, although there were countless others that he explained are still such secret processes that they could not be described. Among the developments which he was at liberty to mention were fuels that surpass gas, glass that floats, shoes entirely without leather, wireless window screens, new clothing fabrics, new better and cheaper housing, and a multitude of useful devices from plastics alone, that are as important to the world as would be the discovery of a sixth continent. Aluminum and magnesium will be numbered among materials whose production will be vastly increased, and new uses are daily developing for their increased output. The development of explosives in the war on a scale never before dreamed, will have a peace-time sequel, according to Dr. Stine. For he explained that such development will result in fertilizer chemicals that are likely to change fundamental trends in agriculture. Electronic tubes now being developed by radio engineers to do new and amazing feats for the Army and Navy, make possible an unrivaled means of communication. An airplane pilot of the Construction crews have labored all extremes of weather. Times the thermometer registers minus 35 degrees, and tent could not be driven into the ground. Again they work on the sweltering heat of 90 degrees, tormented by the hugequitoes which are such a sumptest in the far north. The U. S. Army will use and train the highway throughout winter months when it will be open. Plans call for construction of rest camps for personnel truck convoys; barracks for deer maintenance crews, and phone facilities for weather observations. Last-war use will be equally important in linking the far north to Canada and the United States highway and railway systems with Alaska. America's billion dollar paper industry owes its modern development to an insect because Frederick Keller invented the paper pulp machinery after watching a wasp chew wood into pulp and spread the paste to dry. The first three operations of our bombers have proven that the training given in the States is excellent, and I hope that you will pass this on to the Training Command and the OTU Command. "The B-17's are far superior to anything in this theatre and are fully adequate for the job. The British themselves admit this and say that with similar equipment and training, they, too, would daybomb. They are unanimous in their praise of our bombing accuracy, about which they had their fingers crossed until now." Finally you can say we believe that combat crews trained by the Army Air Forces, flying in planes produced by United States manufacturers, will measure up to any task given them." Electronic tubes now being developed by radio engineers to do new and amazing feats for the Army and Navy, make possible an unrivaled means of communication. An airplane pilot of the near future will not fear fogs, for he will merely turn on his electronic blind landing equipment., which will signal him where to start his glide for a perfect landing. Two other speakers before the Chemical society, Dr. Donald Ostmer and Dr. R. L. Ratcliffe of the Polytechnic Institute, Brooklyn, discussed the making of alcohol from fusel oil, now a waste product, and which can be produced in quantities sufficient to supply all our war requirements for synthetic rubber.
