He will be doing a very necessary and patriotic work. For plans have been made for a complete canvass of every home in the city and in the whole of Orange county, beginning shortly after August 1 when business men and women, housewives, teachers, office workers, boys and girls, will be approached in regard to their willingness to help in the annual harvest, in the event of an emergency labor problem. A.P.M. Brown has been named as chairman of the local group of workers. They include Mrs. L. N. Wisser, head of a nutrition committee under the city's civilian defense setup; C. H. Mann, Civilian Defense coordinator; Mrs. Alva Hargrove, Women's Farm Recruitment chairman; Rudy Boysen, Victory Garden chairman; Joseph H. Wilmore, agriculture teacher in Union high school; Mrs. Carrie Lou Sutherland, newspaper writer; Mrs. Mabelle C.

Red stamp value on meats remains virtually unchanged by the new OPA table, but butter was advanced two ration points so that beginning Sunday, housewives will pay 10 points a pound for that commodity. In fact it will be even higher, since purchases are limited to a quarter pound—an OPA does not deal in fractions, so a purchase will require three re-stamps. Offsetting this advance to some extent is the fact that margarine remains at the value of four rations points a pound, and shortening, salad and cooking oil were reduced one point in value. OPA stated that these revisions do not reflect any material change. A.P.M. Brown has been named as chairman of the local group of workers. They include Mrs. L. N.

Wilmore, agriculture teacher in Union high school; Mrs. Carrie Lou Sutherland, newspaper writer; Mrs. Mabelle C. Hathaway, food preservation chairman, and George Graham, Anaheim member of the Food Production committee. At their organization meeting in the city hall, these workers completed plans for a house-to-house canvass of the city, appealing for readiness and willingness to serve wherever possible in the crop harvest if the need for additional labor arises. In order to simplify the work of contacting everyone, the city was divided into quarters with two captains for each quarter, each captain to secure six or more coworkers. Miss Lura V. Rowe, Mrs. Irma S. Sidebottom and Mrs. Mae Lord will have the northeast section. Paul H. Demaree and A. Curtis Case will canvass the northwest quarter. In the southeast quarter, A. C. Riutcel and Mrs. Paul Demaree will be in charge, with Henry Adams and Mrs. Carrie Lou Sutherland taking over the southwest section.

Early Rules Given On Mailing Yule Packages Overseas Christmas may seem far in the future to the majority of families, but not to Uncle Sam's Post Office department. For with Christmas still 21 weeks away the department has made arrangements for the handling of letters and packages addressed to America's fighting men overseas. To the end that all such mail may be certain of delivery at the holiday season, the six-week period between September 15 and October 31 has been designated as the time during which all Christmas mail should be posted for men in overseas service.

In fact it will be even higher, since purchases are limited to a quarter pound—and OPA does not deal in fractions, so a purchase will require three re-stamps. Offsetting this advance to some extent is the fact that margarine remains at the value of four rations points a pound, and largely shortening, salad and cooking oil were reduced one point in value. OPA stated that these revisions do not reflect any material change in the estimated civilian supply of fats and oils but are an attempt to bring consumer demand closer in line with available supply. It was explained that for the past several months the demand for butter has been running about five per cent in excess of the amount allocated for civilian use. If this trend were unchecked, supplies might shrink to an uncontrollably low level by the end (Continued on page 5) Budgets of County Schools Now Up For Consideration Closing of Orange county schools in June brought respite for teachers and pupils, but no whatever for County Superintendent Ray Adkinson. At present, Adkinson is considering the budgets submitted to his desk after their compilation of the several elementary, high school and junior college districts. These budgets were compiled in mediately after the close of school and are for the coming year operation of the various school districts. According to provisions of law, Adkinson has the power make such changes in the budget as he sees fit. But he has pointed out that few such changes are necessary, since it is his experience that each school board conscientious in preparing a budget of its individual needs. He expects to complete his survey of material by the end of a month, and when approved a list will be submitted to the board of supervisors. After publication during first week of August, hearings will begin August 10 in several school districts concerning tax rates, Adkinson indicates would remain about the same. Nutrition Committee Is Named As Part Of City’s Civilian Defense Setup Designed to be of aid to Anaheim home-makers in conserving for winter use the surplus products of their Victory Gardens is the new nutrition committee of Civilian Defense Council, named by Chairman Charles H. Mann. In delegating the chairmanship of this committee to Mrs. L. N. Wisser, Mann made an important decision. For Mrs. Wisser has familiarized herself with the various methods of food conservation through her work as preservation of foods chairman in the Anaheim Victory Garden program under general chairmanship of Rudy Boysen. Now she and her sister committee members, Mrs. E. H. Kersten and Mrs. Richard R. Roehm, are devising ways and means of bringing a world of valuable information to the attention of Anaheim housewives. Through publicity, study classes and demonstrations, they will be prepared to assist in giving information regarding the various accepted ways of conserving food supplies. These will include the pressure cooker method advocated for non-acid vegetables and meats; the water bath method for acid varieties of fruits and vegetables; dehydration, etc. “It is so important that all our surplus garden supplies be conserved for future use, that fruits and vegetables be used as they reach the height of production, that I feel we have a real duty,” Mrs. Wisser stated today. She also pointed out the ease with which dehydrating vegetables and fruits at home may be accomplished, and the simplicity and cheapness of the materials required for the work. Further information on the construction of such home dehydrators will be given to anyone interested, by members of the nutrition committee, as a definite aid to the city’s Civilian Defense program.

Estated that these revisions reflect any material change Speaker For Lions Gives Views On Post War Planning With "The Hare and the Tortoise" as his subject, James H. Sewell as guest speaker last Friday for Anaheim Lions club, drew upon that famous fable to point his conclusions regarding the part that America must play in hastening the conclusion of the world war, and in assuring the subsequent maintenance of peace. It is not by the speed of the hare, but by the plodding determination of the tortoise that success is achieved in the home, in industry or in war, he assured his audience. Sewell, who is vice president and program chairman of Santa Ana Lions club, was presented by Louis Hoskins, program chairman for the day. In making his introduction, Hoskins pointed out that the visiting Lion had many years' experience as California manager of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance company, and is president of the Burns Cuboid company of Santa Ana, whose foot balancers are distributed throughout the nation. In the absence of President Francis Elliott, who was attending Lions International in Cleveland, Former Missionary Discusses India At Rotary Meeting More than two dozen years of missionary service in India provided the Rev. C. H. Archibald, pastor of Wesley Methodist church, with a wealth of authoritative knowledge of that country, from some of which he drew in providing an interesting talk for Rotarians at their luncheon this week in Elks clubhouse. The Rev. Thomas L. Burden, pastor of White Temple Methodist church and a member of Rotary club, introduced his brother minister after a short business interval in charge of Edwin Maher, club vice-president, in the absence of President Paul H. Demaree. Some of India's natural resources were described by the Rev. Mr. Archibald, who pointed out her almost unlimited supply of cotton, her production of steel, greater than any country in the world except the United States; her vast mineral wealth and her annual production of sugar. Contrary to general belief, Britain has not exploited India in the manner commonly described, Rep.

E. Barrington, 818 North Lemon street. For Patricia is a patient in Lutheran hospital, suffering from a skull fracture and concussion of the brain as result of a fall at the Hynes ice rink. However her physician, Dr. Harold C. Neslund, feels that she is showing steady improvement, and she regained consciousness only a short time after the fall. Patricia, who will enter Marywood Central High school as a freshman in September, was one of a party of young people taken to the rink for the afternoon by her father, Tom Burns, head photographer with Associated Press, in Los Angeles. No one else was injured in the skating accident, and Patricia was rushed by ambulance to the local hospital. Mrs. Barrington returned only this week from Salt Lake City, where she was called by the death of Patricia's grandfather the senior Mr. Burns. Mrs. Barrington has the distinction of having been "Miss California" in her own young girlhood, having won the title over several thousand entrants in the big contest conducted by the Los Angeles Examiner in 1927. Firewood Prices Some of India's natural resources were described by the Rev. Mr. Archibald, who pointed out her almost unlimited supply of cotton, her production of steel, greater than any country in the world except the United States; her vast mineral wealth and her annual production of sugar. Contrary to general belief, Britain has not exploited India in the manner commonly described, the speaker stated, and told of the improvements which Britain has instituted, including 40,000 miles of railroad and 45 million acres under cultivation, with the result that India ranks seventh among all nations in industrial output. Even before outbreak of the war however, much of the British trade in cotton cloth was being lost to the Japanese, since neither Britain nor India could compete with the low prices offered by Japan whose scale of living made such prices possible. Emphasizing the fact that the people of India have a deep interest in their country both financially and politically, the speaker said that the country has two million volunteers under arms to guard against invasion of their land. Before closing, the speaker voiced a plea of post-war training both in India and China in the arts of peace, rather than war, as a means of insuring the safety of the white race in the world.

And tomorrow, when members set forth upon one of the pilgrimages, their Road to Romance will take them to the Fuller rancho near Corona, home of Ralph Stanfield, chairman of Riverside county board of supervisors.
