County Relief Problem Improvement Noted In Latest Tabulation of Cases Continued improvement in the relief problem in Orange county is shown by decreasing numbers of people receiving all types of relief except aid to the needy aged, California Taxpayers' association stated today, making public its study of relief trends in California counties for the last six months of 1943. In December, 106 people in the county were receiving aid as needy blind, compared with 108 for the July preceeding, the association found. In December, 185 children were receiving aid as dependent children, compared with 186 in July. In December, 55 were receiving aid as county indigents, compared with 71 in July. On the other hand, in December, the old age aid rolls numbered 3,292 while in July 3,179 were receiving aid to the needy aged. Increase in amount of aid and decrease in legal requirements for care of old people by their relatives were both in effect throughout the period, the association stated. Over the state as a whole, persons receiving aid as needy blind totaled 6,360 in December and 6,649 in July. Dependent children numbered 20,275 in December and 22,404 in July. County indigents numbered 20,068 in December and 22,151 in July. Needy aged persons numbered 157,746 in December and 152,220 in July. Pointing out that relief is administered by the county governments, the association said: "So long as employment continues at a fairly high level, relief rolls should continue to fall off. Budgets of county governments for 1944-45, soon to be under way, should reflect the lessening need for relief in California. Any carry-over in funds set up for relief for the current fiscal year should be carefully kept for tax reduction purposes for 1944-45." WOMEN VOLUNTEERS SAVE STATE CROPS Women farm volunteers accounted for more than 10 per cent of California's 1943 harvesting jobs, it was stated by Irene Fagin, assistant state supervisor of the Agricultural Extension Farm Labor project. Women registered for nearly 38,000 of the 342,000 harvest jobs filled through Farm Labor offices from late June until Dec. 31, the report showed. Thousands of seasonal harvest volunteers during peak periods from one to 10 weeks, aided in saving perishable crops, while approximately 700 women were recruited for year-round farm work. Farm Labor records did not include approximately 15,000 women applying to farmers in their home vicinity for work in fruit and berry harvests.

This was revealed today by Vernon Elder, vice president of Food Machinery Corp., in charge of the Peerless Pump division, Los Angeles, where the tanks were designed and became a reality. "When the government approached Food Machinery Corporation to help develop a tank that would be effective on land or water, we put our best engineers to work," said Mr. Edler. "These men had previously been working on the Peerless agricultural and industrial pumps generally in use throughout the world." The engineers, used to dealing with mechanical problems, not only created the vehicle wanted by the government, but created a machine that could be quickly built and quickly repaired. Parts were cast, milled and machined in the corporation's various plants located in California, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Florida. The parts were rushed to divisions of the corporation at Riverside and San Jose, Calif., and to Lakeland, Fla., where they are assembled. The assembling plants also made parts to supplement the flow from other divisions. The tanks were an immediate success, taking part in campaigns from Guadalcanal up to the present. They won commendation from the Navy Bureau of Ships and from individual marines that drove them. In a recent telegram to the "men and women of Food Machinery," Rear Admiral E. L. Cochrane, chief of the Bureau of Ships, Washington, D. C., stated that the tanks had carried out their assigned tasks with great success at Tarawa. One of the first war uses of the Peerless pumps was at Pearl Harbor where they were used to dewater and make possible the floating and subsequent repair of our stricken warships.

Pioneer of County Is Laid to Rest The death last Thursday morning in County General hospital of John B. Joplin, removed a member of one of Orange county's best-known pioneer families. Funeral services were held for him on Friday morning in the Smith and Tuthill chapel, Santa Ana, with burial in Fairhaven cemetery. Mr. Joplin, who was 73 years of age, had been in failing health for several months, and entered hospital for treatment for an attack of influenza. He was a son of the late J. C. Joplin, who served as county treasurer from 1907 to 1928. One of his projects which will be greatly missed by a host of readers, was the little newspaper, the "Tomato Springs Gazette" which he published at infrequent intervals, and which always contained pithy accounts of political happenings in the county, as well as stories of county historical interest. During the period when practically all of the 1943 Central-Northern California valencia crop was shipped, wartime demand was so great that all grades and sizes sold at the ceiling price even though the national orange supply was 20 per cent heavier than the three-year average.
