Farm Labor Reaches Peak This Week In Orange County With the over-lapping of harvesting operations in its principal crops, Orange county this week is reaching its maximum farm labor employment, it was revealed by George Wells, placement manager of the Extension Farm Labor office in Santa Ana, when in conference with B. H. Crocheron, state director of Agricultural Extension Service. His report to the director, indicated that about 85% of the orange harvest is completed at this time with 2,200 pickers in the field. Some 200 pickers are engaged in the lemon harvest; tomato picking is well along with 1,100 pickers in the field; the lima bean harvest is about 30% complete with over 450 men in threshing crews; and the walnut harvest is about 20% along with 650 pickers working this week in the orchards. There is definite need for more volunteer help in the picking of tomatoes and walnuts, said Wells, and further appeals are extended to adults and school students to help harvest these crops before crop losses are incurred. Other openings are available at this time for men in bean threshing and pest control operations, including spraying. Episcopal Members Will Observe St. Michael's Day Plans for a true parish homecoming day are being perfected by the Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, and various working committees of the parish, in readiness for Sunday's observance of St. Michael's Day, the patron saint of the church. Customary morning services will be observed, with Holy Communion at 8 o'clock, worship hour and church school at 10:30 o'clock. Rally day will be celebrated in the church school, and the rector will preach at the morning hour. The remainder of the day will be given over to a parish reunion of various foods will advance in Point Value Sunday Old fashioned home-baked beans will come into their own again as a standard article of diet, for housewives need no longer dole out precious ration points for dried beans or for lentils either after next Sunday. This is the latest pronouncement of OPA which has removed a few articles from the ration point list, probably to soften the blow of the heightened point value in so many fruits, vegetables, meat and butter. On Sunday, butter leaps from 12 to 16 points per pound. Cheeses and cheese spreads advance one point and practically all meats will advance from one to two points. Exceptions are brains, kidneys, and pigsfeet from which points will be removed, with liver, sweetbreads, veal hearts and tongue lowered one point. Canned beans and corn dropped various points but it is on other vegetables and fruits that OPA seems to have gone to town on point boosting highest of all being red sour cherries, the old fashion- Naval Officer Will Continue Training At New York Base Completing a ten-day leave much of which was spent here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Souder of the Weber Book store, 139 West Center street, Lt. (jg) Thomas D. Sowder left last week for New York City to report for additional technical training as a Naval Reserve officer. Lieut. Sowder, a UCLA alumnus, was accompanied east by his wife who will remain with him as long as his duties keep him in continental United States. He was one of two Orange county men included among 31 Southern Californians graduating this month from the Naval Reserve Officers' Indoctrination School at Tucson, Ariz. The other Orange county member of the class was Ensign Roderick L. Royer, young Fullerton draftsman whose home was on West Orangethorpe road. The Tucson school where they completed their indoctrination course, is designed to acquaint newly commissioned officers with every possible element in Navy life. Its training includes seaman-church, and various working committees of the parish, in readiness for Sunday's observance of St. Michael's Day, the patron saint of the church. Customary morning services will be observed, with Holy Communion at 8 o'clock, worship hour and church school at 10:30 o'clock. Rally day will be celebrated in the church school, and the rector will preach at the morning hour. The remainder of the day will be given over to a parish reunion of many friendly features. Families and friends of the parish will remain after morning services, to enjoy a pot-luck dinner in the parish house. All are reminded to bring their own needs in table service as well as contributions to the menu. Community singing will be a part of the musical program being arranged by Miss Barbara Vernon, church organist, who has promised several guest soloists as well. There will be introductions of old friends, and to spice the feast of reason and flow of soul, Judge Franklin G. West of Santa Ana, judge in Orange county superior court, will give one of his short talks, characteristic of the genial humor for which he is noted. The remainder of the afternoon will be given over to good fellowship and greetings among old friends. Co. Tax Rate Left Unchanged At Last Year's Level Late figures released by California Taxpayers' association, show that Orange county was one of three counties in the state that made no changes in the tax rate levied for 1943-44. The rate here remains at the 83 cent level established in 1942-43, and includes rates levied on all property throughout the county. Fifty counties in the state, showed decreases in the tax rate for county-wide purposes while the tax rate was increased in five counties, over the 1942-43 level. The preponderance of decreases was explained by the association, as due in the main to such factors as the Legislature's cut in old age assistance, downward trends in various types of relief, reduction in the number of county employees, surpluses and carry-over balances in many communities, etc. In summing up its findings, the association spoke of the necessity Exceptions are brains, kidneys, and pigsfeet from which points will be removed, with liver, sweetbreads, veal hearts and tongue lowered one point. Canned beans and corn dropped various points but it is on other vegetables and fruits that OPA seems to have gone to town on point boosting highest of all being red sour cherries, the old fashioned kind so good in pies, which will jump 11 points. Canned apricots will be food for the gods, for they will be jumped from their present 27 to 36 points.

Citrus Growers Register Opposition To Principles of Federal Agencies General opposition to the principle of Federal agencies running local business was expressed in a recent meeting held at Farm Bureau headquarters in Orange to discuss the new War Food Administration order that on November 1 will replace the currently operating California-Arizona Marketing Agreement for oranges. Growers of citrus expressed many ideas about the order and its provisions but agreed that whether the order is good or bad they are opposed to centralization of power in government and the extension of regulations into the details of food production and other fields, according to C. J. Marks, executive secretary of Orange County Farm Bureau. The meeting was the monthly gathering of the citrus department of the Farm Bureau and was presided over by Chairman E. E. Campbell, Orange. In general the new FWA order will supersede the current marketing agreement and will give control over intrastate shipments where the marketing agreement only handles interstate shipments. The WFA order has little more content otherwise than is in the present order. One additional punishment for violations which drew fire was that which would give the administration power to prohibit any person who violates the order from receiving, delivering or using oranges or orange products "or any other material subject to priority or allocation control by the WFA", and may recommend that any such person be prohibited in the same fields concerning "materials subject to the priority or allocation control of other governmental agencies." Leading the discussion about the new WFA order were LeRoy Lyone, Fullerton, and J. A. Porter, Orange, both members of the administration committee of the present "prorate" committee for oranges, which administers the California - Arizona Marketing Agreement., Lyons, who is second vice-president of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, stated (Continued on page 2) The second division will be called "Baby Beauty Show" to be held in IOOF hall Thursday night Oct. 21.

Clubs participating in the contest for the $500 bond will continue their efforts all evening, and their sales progress will be registered on this same blackboard. Reports on bond sales up to yesterday showed a total of $1,126,-003 already recorded, so that the committee has less than $375,000 to register in sales in order that the city may maintain her proud record of meeting all her obligations. Nightly meetings have been held all week in the several schools of the Anaheim area, with speakers, a volunteer band made up of high school students, and a sound truck to fan the interest. Monday night the speakers visited both Loara and Katella schools; Tuesday night they took in three school districts, Stanton, Savanna and Cypress. Last night they not only addressed an employee's rally at the Granada Packing house, but also Centralia school. Tonight at 7:30 o'clock they will visit Lincoln school and continue to Magnolia school for an 8:30 o'clock meeting, with the school visits to close Friday night at Centralia. In each separate event, bond committee members have been gratified at the interest aroused, and at the indications that Saturday night's auction finale will see a lively War Bond sale that will put the city far over the top.

The general theme of the talk he addressed to the service club was that of human relations in busi- More USO Scrapbooks Are Requested For Christmas Gifts Overseas Anaheim women who have been interested in filling USO scrapbooks to be sent to servicemen, have been called upon to redouble their efforts to fill such books in order to meet the needs of special overseas shipments to go to servicemen who may otherwise lack Christmas remembrances from their home land. The SOS call for additional scrapbooks came from Mrs. Walter Kolasa, national USO scrapbook service director. She also urged everyone to include such a scrapbook with their other gifts in packages to be sent to sons and brothers overseas. “These compact and light books contain assorted reading matter which can be shared by several men, thus assuring remembrances for men who might not receive individual gifts” she pointed out. The scrapbooks, which may contain short stories, cartoons, bits of verse or even a complete serial from favorite magazines, are in great demand among service men all over the world, who receive them in Army and Navy shipments. Completed books received after October 15 will be accepted by military authorities for regular overseas shipments. Additional books may be secured by writing Mrs. Kolasa, 55 Oakridge road, Berkeley, Calif., and enclosing 15 cents for each book. Books filled during the coming month may be sent to the West Coast scrapbook headquarters, 2200 Milvia street, Berkeley, where they will be delivered for special Army and Navy shipments to Alaska, South Pacific and European areas with Christmas shipments. Another idea presented by Mrs. Kolasa, is the paeking of gift packages to be distributed through Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation Division offices or Army Special Service offices. On the preferred and easily packed list of gifts for servicemen, are small games, hard candies, wood carving sets and scroll saw, playing cards and the popular “pocket” books of light fiction.
