Orange County Has 50,810 Cars On Registration Lists In spite of gas and tire rationing programs residents of Orange county registered 50,810 automobiles during the first three months of 1943, the Department of Motor Vehicles revealed today. The loss of 1149 vehicles or approximately 2.2 per cent compared faovrably with the statewide loss of 9.2 per cent announced by Director Gordon H. Garland. Only three counties, Contra Costa, Marin and Solano, all centers of huge war industries attracting large numbers of non-residents, showed gains for the quarterly period. Losses were more pronounced in rural and mountain counties where registration renewals frequently are delayed by reason of weather conditions. The department's figures were accompanied by a plea to continue to conserve rubber by using motor vehicles only for essential business. Director Garland stated it probably would be at least a year before any appreciable relief from the current rubber shortage. County Reimbursed For Highway Costs Orange county coffers were enriched this week by two checks totaling in excess of $27,00, received by Highway Superintendent A. A. Beard. One check for $21,950.21 from the state was as partial reimbursement for the county’s expenses in relocating Santa Ana Canyon highway when the Prado dam was built. The second check for $5925 was reimbursement for Prado basin property acquired by the federal government. The larger check for the highway relocation, was the first installment, another for approximately $15,500, being due within a few weeks. will be available. Statewide figures show 2,541,-146 vehicles of all classes registered during the quarterly period as contrasted to 2,797,684 in the same quarter in 1942. The loss in registrations will be reflected in a loss in the apportionment of motor vehicle license and registration fees to Orange county. Registration fees for the entire state were reported down 10.6 per cent and motor vehicle license fees 12.3 per cent. Survey Is Begun On Situation In Fruit Moth Area An immediate result of the two-day conference which agricultural officials and growers held last Thursday and Friday at the Orange County Insectary here, was the survey now underway, of the Oriental fruit moth situation in the county’s infested area. Reason for this survey is to throw a protective band around the area to prevent further spread of the pest. H. M. Armitage, administrative assistant in the state department of agriculture is in charge of the survey, which will be one important feature of a quarantine movement against the fruit moth in which county and state agricultural officials will be aided by a state-wide committee, headed by Lyman Lantz, assistant state director of agriculture. Governor Earl Warren has signed bills appropriating the sum of $864,704 for financing the eradication campaign. This total was divided approximately equally between two bills, one for survey and quarantine expense, and the other for subsequent eradication measures and the reimbursement.

The program to be put into effect must await findings of the survey now underway, according to Dixon W. Tubbs, county agricultural commissioner.

It will not be long before these shipments will be doubled this latter output and shipment will increase until Germany is literally overrun by our fighting flyers. Inasmuch as each side in the great conflict has been able to produce and keep at the front not more than 2500 airplanes, it will be seen that our flying machines are soon to be a potent factor in deciding the struggles. The Red Cross juniors have completed their drive for salvage, and have on hand several tons of papers, rubber, bottles etc., for which they wish transportation to Los Angeles in trucks which are returning to the city empty.

Mr. Raab is to be commended for this wise determination and the country at large will no doubt rejoice at getting the product of the Jersey, Holstein and other cattle worked into a superior quality of butter. The Cudahy packing plant began slaughtering hogs in Los Angeles last week, when 200 hogs were slaughtered the first day. The works have a capacity of 500 hogs a day. They offer seven cents and a half a pound for hogs on the hoof, and the supply is unable to meet the demand, nor will it be for there are no hogs in the country.

Responding to the solicitations of numerous friends throughout the county, Joseph M. Backs has decided to enter the race for county clerk. There is no man in the county better fitted for the office than Joe. He has been chief deputy in the clerk's office for a number of years and the recent announcement of County Clerk Edwards that he would retire at the end for his term leaves the field open and nothing is more fitting than that his chief deputy should step into the vacancy. Joe is a native of Anaheim and grew to manhood here, he has a host of friends throughout the county who have urged him to be a candidate. Dr. Truxaw has been making periodical trips to Esperanza, six miles above Yorba, where J. C. Travis has been troubled for some days past with a carbuncle on his neck.

The Los Angeles Times will put in a new perfecting press this week, and with it introduce seven Linotype typesetting machines, the first to appear on the Pacific Coast. These typesetters are famous institutions and are good for a million and a half ems of metal a week, the equivalent of thirty men on hand composition. We hear the force of printers on the Times will be retained and the paper enlarged. The Times is easily the leading paper of Southern California, and it seems lately to be forging ahead at an unusually rapid pace. The new press and linotype machines cannot cost less than $100,000 and perhaps they will go over that, but they are mighty interesting things to have around a big print shop.
