THEIR DAY Supervisors Vote Against Aid On Canyon Road Plan Regardless of the federal government's lavish outlay of funds in its program of building access roads to private enterprises, Orange county government has voted down a proposition for a corresponding outlay. At the recent meeting of county supervisors the board rejected a proposal to participate in the improvement of a short stretch of road leading into Blue Light mine located in Silverado Canyon beyond the canyon's paved road. Suggestion to the county to participate came from the federal works agency of the public roads administration. The request was for the county to share in construction costs estimated at $6350, and to cooperate in road maintenance after work is completed by the government. Supervisors were unanimous in their refusal to participate. In earlier days, Blue Light mine was a thriving enterprise producing gold, silver, lead and zinc. It was reopened a few years ago when gold prices soared, but operations were on a small scale. However it his assumed new importance since outbreak of the war, because of lead and zinc deposits.

"Results of this survey will provide a basis for planning the recruitment and placement of extra workers that will be needed in agriculture other than those regularly employed," said A. H. Allen, committee chairman. "It is highly essential that we know this month about what the extra labor load will be for the balance of the season, so that orderly planning can be done ahead of the actual need. In this way, confusion can be lessened, last minute disappointments avoided, and loss of crops reduced to a minimum." The questionnaire asks for the approximate number of workers needed, the crop or job involved, type of worker required for the job, and approximate dates that such work is to be done. Among types of workers for which the grower is to indicate his preference are included Victory shift workers, women workers, supervised school groups, imported labor.
