"RISE TO REMARK"
By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS
When this appears in print, the Congressman will be safely across the state line, and back in Washington. It may be just as well, for this week the column departs from its customary style, and offers a play; in fact, a play in two acts, first act this week and next, second act the following week. Three weeks of "drama!" You wouldn't begrudge me, would you, this little relief after two months of "recess", in which I've had to work harder than in most campaigns? The title of the play is:
"WASHINGTON PRESCRIPTION"
The players are: B. O. Cratte, familiarly known as "B. O." to those who work for him, and if that reminds you of a newspaper advertisement, that will be o.k. with the employees too;
Jenkins, the plant manager; and
Judge Freeland, who believes in all that his name implies.
Office employees and court attaches supply atmosphere but do not have speaking parts.
(All of the characters in this playlet are fictitious and if you see any resemblance to people, or to groups of people, living or dead, why go ahead and see it, this is still a free country. If I can find out who said "Oh yeah" just then I'll make him stay after the final curtain and read Dr. Galbraith's new book on "Modern Competition and Business Policy".)
In act one, the scene is laid in the office of Mr. Cratte. He is a youngish man, stocky, with dark rimmed glasses, and the present popular two-toned jacket. He smokes the inevitable cigarette of
Cratte continues: That'll carry the buildings down to the point I have marked.
Jenkins shows surprise: Wait a minute, B. O., the building program approved by the directors wouldn't take that much space.
Cratte: I've decided to enlarge it. And over here, we'll plan the second set of buildings, and I think we'll let the contracts for all of them at the same time.
Jenkins: Do I know about these other buildings?
Cratte: They're for the right-handed monkey wrenches I'm planning to add to the line.
Jenkins, after some hesitation: Well, I'll tell you B. O., I've been with this company since it was a pup. Old Hank Simian used to call it the "left-handed monkey wrench" and he made quite a name for it, but he didn't object when the trade turned it over and sold it as a right-handed monkey wrench. He let the sales department push that idea. One factory will really do for us. Also the directors only approved the money for one small addition.
Cratte, somewhat coldly: I'm sorry Jenkins that you have this attitude. My program calls for two factories, and as large as I've indicated. I'm afraid you haven't the right economic and social viewpoint.
Jenkins, quietly: Maybe not B. O., but also maybe the company hasn't the money either.

City School Registration Next That Of Last Year
In act one, the scene is laid in the office of Mr. Cratte. He is a youngish man, stocky, with dark rimmed glasses, and the present popular two-toned jacket. He smokes the inevitable cigarette of his group, and does not particularly enjoy it. It makes him cough, but he'd feel as undressed without it as without his fraternity pin. He is looking over some plans. Jenkins, an older man, quiet, experienced, is sitting across the table.
It is the office of the Left Handed Monkey Wrench Corporation of America, Since Mr. Cratte joined the firm, following the death of Mr. Henry Simian, who founded the company and gave his name to the type of wrench manufactured, it is now by order (which Mr. Cratte speaks of as a "directive") referred to as the "LHMWCA." The less inhibited employees call it the "Lame Wica". The time is 1496.
Cratte speaks: Now over here, Jenkins, on this plan, we'll put the new manufacturing building. Is that clear?
Jenkins: Entirely clear, B. O., although I still feel, as I said at the board meeting, that we can produce all we can sell, in the present plant. However, the directors have approved the expansion.
Advice Is Offered On Pest Control For Tomato Plants
"Tomato fields in which the last pick has been made should be worked up to destroy the vines since they will harbor the tomato mite and help to build up the population for next year's crop", said W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor.
This is only the second year in which this pest has been a problem to tomato growers in Orange county. In this short time it has appeared in practically every tomato field in the county. Even tomato plants in victory gardens, isolated from commercial plantings, were not passed up by the insect. It would therefore appear imperative for all growers to practice such measures as will reduce the population of the mite carried over through the winter, and to begin control measures before blossoming of next year's crop.
The mite is a microscopic insect that feeds on the leaves and stems. It kills the leaves and causes the stems to turn a greasy, russet brown. The damage is first apparent at the base of the plant and progresses out toward the tips.

Case Finding Clinic Set For Tuesday
The quarterly diagnostic and consultation clinic for crippled children will be held Tuesday at the Orange County Health department headquarters on the second floor of the courthouse annex in Santa Ana. Dr. Donald W. Blanche orthopedic surgeon of Los Angeles, will be examining specialist. Early appointment for the clinic should be made through the Health department. Children up to 21 years of age will be accepted for examination.
Young people were greeted by Principal Demaree in a short talk. He pointed out the many current problems that can be solved only by team work on the part of the student body and faculty alike. Well received was his suggestion that the student body should adopt the slogan of "Fight to the Finish" chosen by the faculty at its first meeting of the school year.
Introduction of the student body commission was an important feature of the opening assembly Monday. Officers had been elected to their posts before the closing of the school year in June, and were prepared to assume their several duties.
Headed by Frank Kellogg Jr., the student body commission includes also Max Noller, vice-president, and Becky Kahlen, secretary with the various commissioners as follows: Julie Schaffer, finance; Jim Davis, boys' athletics; Barbara Freese, girls' athletics; Ude Bauer, student affairs; Patty Arnold, safety and welfare.
Opportunities Are Offered Women Enlisting In WACs
Mary and varied are the opportunities opened in the new Women's Army for training in special lines for WACS who are now enlisting for service, according to information from the WAC Recruiting office in Los Angeles.
The demand for WAC personnel for foreign service is increasing and women interested in serving their country overseas, are urged to join the WACS at once. Needs for the foreign personnel will be met through drafts on WAC training centers and units in the field, expressed in terms of specification serial numbers.
Captain Madelyn Miller Jennings, WAC executive officer for the Southern California area, has emphasized the need for women overseas. Major General J. A. Ulio, of the war department, has issued an order to generals of commands to which WAC units are assigned, to forward to headquarters names of officers and outstanding enlistees who have the mature judgment, emotional stability, character, health and stamina, to accompany our fighting units overseas.
More than 650 types of jobs are offered women in Army service at the same rate of pay received by men of equal rank. Just now there is a need for cooks, and WACS with an aptitude for cooking are offered a special course in the Bakers and Cooks school at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., in the Third WAC Training Center.

The school will operate on a half day basis so long as the need continues for young people in war industries. Three classes will be held each morning period, the study subject alternating day by day. In this way students will be able to maintain their studies and important war work as well.

Study of Diseases Of Heart Planned By TB Association
Plans whereby Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association will launch a program for the study and control also of heart disease, were furthered last week when association directors were addressed by Miss Marjorie Edwards of San Francisco, director of the newly created heart division of California TB association.
Mrs. Edwards spoke at the directors' meeting conducted by President Linton T. Simmons in the county headquarters in Santa Ana. Later she gave virtually the same talk before county public health and school nurses assembled in the courthouse annex by Miss Idabel Durgan, supervising nurse of the county health department.
Study of heart diseases long pursued by the California Heart association, has been advanced since the group's recent amalgation with the state TB association, Miss Edwards explained.. She told how the latter association has established a division of heart disease financed with Christmas Seal funds, and how it met a two-year grant from Columbia Foundation for a health education program.
Local heart programs will be set up in connection with tuberculosis programs wherever possible she stated. In Orange county the heart program will be under guidance of Dr. J. Luther Maroon, Santa Ana cardiologist, according to Mrs. Homer G. Ames of this city, secretary to the TB association. Mrs. Ames explains that lay members may assist in this program to be
DRY LAND LAUNCHING
Evelyn Keyes, the actress, has the unique distinction of having been mistress of ceremonies at the only dry land "launching" in the country. When a Los Angeles street car was repainted for Navy recruiting purposes, she broke a bottle of California champagne over its blunt nose and christened it the "U. S. Recruiter."
NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Windshield wipers will not be needed on postwar vehicles because of new type glass now being manufactured. Scientists have made this prediction on the premise that the new glass contains no silica, so that rain or snow falling on it will not obscure the vision.
