Navy’s Big Blimps Will Be Housed In Hangars Constructed of Wood Down at the U.S. Naval Air Station at El Toro are two mighty examples of American ingenuity — the kind that will whip the Axis! For at that lighter-than-air base two huge wooden blimp hangars of a type never before attempted by engineers of this or any other country are nearing completion, it was announced by Capt. H. N. Coulter, U.S.N., the station’s commanding officer. In these giant airship sheds will be housed the Navy blimps which patrol the Southern California Comfortable Clothes —FOR— Warm Summer Days Sport Coats ... $15.00 to $22.50 Slacks! ... $6.50 to $12.00 Bathing Trunks ... $1.95 to $2.95 YUNGBLUTH'S 145 West Center Street Anaheim, Calif. A message from the United States A message from the United States YOUR WARTIME T The American people have accepted the highest tax bill in the history of the country with splendid patriotism and cheerfulness. The Treasury Department of the United States feels that an explanation is due them in turn—feels that they deserve to be told why, when and how their tax dollars are vital to winning this war and the peace that will follow. As a taxpayer, consider these facts: Our government is currently spending 240 million dollars each day, almost all of it on war, and this figure will increase materially as the war continues. About a third of that amount is being raised through taxes. Those tax dollars are as necessary for weapons with which to defeat our enemies as are dollars raised through the sale of WAR BONDS. Hence, when you pay taxes today you are definitely and directly contributing to victory. And, at the same time, your taxes actually help to maintain your own purchasing power now—and prevent disaster to your country after the war. Here's how: Billions of Dangerous Dollars Every time your cost of living advances, you are paying a tax on your income. If your cost of living should double, you would pay a tax of 50% on your salary, wages or other income. But it would be a tax that wouldn't benefit our fighting forces, our government or anyone else—except Hitler and Hirohito. Now—to prevent such a concealed tax on your income from taking place—isn't it good sense as well as sound patriotism to pay your government taxes of 20% on part of your total income—or more, if necessary? be a tax that wouldn't benefit our fighting forces, our government or anyone else—except Hitler and Hirohito. Now—to prevent such a concealed tax on your income from taking place—isn't it good sense as well as sound patriotism to pay your government taxes of 20% on part of your total income—or more, if necessary? SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. How much of my federal tax payments is being spent on war and how much on so-called "normal" expenditures? A. About 96% of your tax payments are currently going to pay for direct war expenditures. Only one dollar in every twenty-two you pay, therefore, goes for all other federal expenses, most of which are indirectly to aid the war effort. Q. How much of the total war bill is being paid currently out of taxes? A. A little over one-third. Q. Is this proportion higher or lower than in England and Canada? A. Lower. Both Canada and Great Britain are paying approximately half of their war expenses through taxation. Q. Is there any way other than taxes and war bonds by which the government could finance our share of the war? A. There is. The government could borrow from the commercial banks, SPONSORED BY VICTOR G. JEWELEY 108 W. CENTER ANAHEIM, C August 19, 1943 The lanes searching continually enemy undersea raiders. The largest clear span wooden buildings in the world, the hangars 171 feet high, equivalent to 17-story building; more than 300 feet long, and almost 300 feet wide at the base. Between bents or footings the clear air is 237 feet wide, sufficient to quarter blimps in rows two inside the structure with danger of the fabric tearing the sides of the hangar. When structural steel became once a year ago, threatening halt the Navy's lighter-than-expansion program, the Naval Bureau of Yards and Docks added something had to be done. U-boats were ravaging both north and south Atlantic shipping lines, Allied merchant ship sinkers were rising to fearful figures. Nothing, the Navy's top-ranking officers said, must halt even momentarily any phase of the anti-submarine campaign. Navy engineers and draftsmen were given the problem. After two months of unceasing, painstaking work they could report they had won. Navy officials found two Pacific Northwest lumber companies that could prefabricate sufficient timber to build several hangars. Before shipment, each beam was cut to the correct length, with the ends shaped at the exact angles, and holes drilled at the precise points for assembling bolts and fixtures. The timbers and sheathing, all treated with fire-resistant chemicals at the prefabricating plant, were transported to the Santa Ana lighter-than-air and other bases. Assembling required no more than 60 days time. Captain Coulter said that a peculiarity of these wooden blimp hangars is their novel, folding leaf-like sectional doors which are suspended independently of the hangar. Two huge pylons, he explained, with slots in the middle, support a concrete and steel beam at the top, and the doors, which can be opened with the touch of an electric button, fold away accordion-like into the hollow recesses of these pylons. Such doors, the only part of the structure made of steel, relieve the hangar of supporting more than 200 tons of deadweight, and offer a minimum of wind resistance. These wooden hangars, covered by two-inch thick wood plank sheathing, cost approximately $2,-000,000 each, about one-third less than steel hangars of the same capacity. The saving $8,000,000 at Santa Ana alone constitutes a feat of no mean proportions. It's equivalent to 426,666 war bonds of the $18.75 denomination—and that, as they say, "ain't hay". BUY DEFENSE STAMPS AND WAR BONDS California Office Marked Decrease In Liquor Licenses A marked decrease in number of premises licensed for the sale of liquor in California during the last six months has been revealed here today. Liam G. Bonelli of Los Angeles member of the State Department Equalization. He attributes drop to wartime conditions an attendant shortage of beverages due to the loss of all major distilleries due to the ruin of all major distilleries. According to statistics completed currently, there are an average county 410 premises in liquor is sold for which licenses are held. The coming figures for 1942 will premises and 647 licensors explained that due to variety of licenses require nection with alcoholic control, some premises as many as three or four licenses. "For the first time," said, "there has been an increase in per capita consumption compared with those for sponding period in the year. This condition is prevalent throughout the country and must have a bearer fact that in California been a decrease of approximately 10 per cent in the licensed premises." "Due to large reserve蓄age stocks in this state effect of the decline has here later than in the United States generally entend tendency is toward decrease in the number of which liquor is licensed premises." United States Treasury about HOME TAX DOLLARS And your taxes do help prevent just such a price rise! How? By taking part of the billions of dangerous dollars which otherwise threaten your living standard and putting them to useful work, winning the war. Those billions of dangerous dollars, you know, represent the difference between the income the American people will receive this year and the amount of civilian goods that will be made in the same twelve months. If taxes were lower, prices would tend to rise, and your real income would be reduced by just that much. Keeping the America He Knew There’s another reason why your high taxes help your country in wartime—and really a much more important one to you. Your tax money is helping to win the war now—but it’s equally essential to winning the peace and keeping the America that boy knew before he went into the armed forces. All the industrial power, all the inventive genius and productive capacity of this country would not bring back a busy, prosperous America that we know if a drastic deflation followed victory. And, as surely as the sun that rises in the morning will set at night, a deflation would follow an inflation brought about by failure to tax ourselves realistically now. So, next time that tax burden seems heavy to you—think of these facts. Remember that your tax dollars are helping to pay for victory now—that they are in there fighting for your living standard now—and that they are working to keep our country's financial structure sound for that boy now in the armed service, for all your family, and for you in the years of peace to come. AND ANSWERS ABOUT YOUR TAX BILL which would put even greater spending power in the hands of the people —thus creating a basis for inflation. Q. Is there any other advantage in financing as large a share of the war bill as possible through taxes? A. Yes—and a very real one to you, the taxpayer. All the bills for the cost of the war must be paid sooner or later through taxation, but if paid currently, from taxes, there will be no interest charge to mount over the years and provide an extra burden for you to carry. Q. So far, so good. But don't you think taxation is unfair in the way it distributes the burden for all this? A. On the contrary, and we believe you will agree if you think it through, that taxes are the fairest, most equitable way to pay for the war. That's because Federal Income taxes are levied on ability to pay for something thar all of us need and must have—victory now, a sound America later. SPONSORED BY TOR G. LOLY JEWELER 108 W. CENTER ST. ANAHEIM, CAL. California Offers Marked Decrease In Liquor Licenses A marked decrease in the number of premises licensed for the sale of liquor in California during the last six months has been revealed here today by William G. Bonelli of Los Angeles, member of the State Board of Equalization. He attributed the drop to wartime conditions with an attendant shortage of alcoholic beverages due to the utilization of all major distilleries for production of industrial alcohol. According to statistics just completed currently, there are in Orange county 410 premises at which liquor is sold for which 600 licenses are held. The corresponding figures for 1942 were 454 premises and 647 licenses. Bonelli explained that due to the variety of licenses required in connection with alcoholic beverage control, some premises may have as many as three or four types of licenses. "For the first time," Bonelli said, "there has been a decline in per capita consumption figures compared with those for a corresponding period in the preceding year. This condition has been prevalent throughout the country and must have a bearing on the fact that in California there has been a decrease of approximately 10 per cent in the number of licensed premises.

Orange is already organized, but neighboring large growers, notably of Fullerton Tustin and Anaheim are ready sign any articles by which they may bring about this result. Mr. Cargill said for Brookhurst: "Of course we want organization, but it is a question whether we have our own or share with Anaheim." A general committee was pointed consisting of one delegate for the nine districts represented and the following new member Dr. Nesbit and Messrs. Wail Holmes, Cargill and Griffith. The committee will attend to further organization of the growers, and a meeting will probably be called here at an early date to get all the orange men into association. Mr. E. T.
