War Committeeman Asks Conversion of Buildings To House War Workers Asserting the housing problem is holding back the war effort in this community, Philip Norton chairman of the war housing committee, today put it squarely up to property owners as a patriotic duty to afford relief, and at the same time add to their incomes. Norton made a three point appeal: 1. List all vacancies at the nearest War Housing Center. 2. Consider private conversions of their habitable buildings into living quarters for families. 3. Open private homes to admission of workers in war plants and essential civilian industries. "Only in this way," he said, "can workers stay on the job and finish the job," as advocated by the Citizens' Manpower Committee." Norton's committee at its last meeting passed a resolution to urge city authorities to waive enforcement of single unit zone restrictions, provided no construction is entailed, for the duration of the war. The housing chairman also appealed to landlords to rent apartments and other dwelling units to families with children. "Hundreds of families," he asserted, "virtually are without roofs over their heads because of restrictions against youngsters." During the war an overall generalized view, based on generosity and the patriotic desire for victory, should be adopted by property owners. Only a broad gauge attitude will contribute toward solving the housing difficulty. Future Expansion Indicated For Grove Sanitarium Possibility of future expansion of Garden Grove sanitarium was seen this week in the purchase by that institution of which Dr. Richard Carter is director, of an additional 12 acres of land adjoining the present site. The land was purchased from Dr. Burns Chaffee at a price reported to be $12,095. Present sanitarium units will continue to be devoted entirely to the care and treatment of mental cases, according to the director, and will remain apart from contemplated new units which will admit patients in need of rest or treatment for non-contagious physical disorders.

Late Reports Reveal Most Successful Cash Income For California Farmers While final figures are not yet available, enough data has been compiled to indicate that Southern California farmers have just completed a most successful and enviable year from the standpoint of production and value of crops, livestock, and their products. A year in which many of the high production and value records of 1942 were broken, often by a substantial amount, according to the Annual Review Supplement of "Southern California Crops," monthly report published by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and just released by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The splendid record they have chalked up was made under tremendous handicaps of shortages of material, farm machinery, transportation facilities, inadequate labor and high costs. Estimates based upon marketings of farm products for the first three-fourths of 1943 indicate that total income from sales of California agricultural products will exceed one and one-half billion dollars, by far the highest cash income figure recorded for the state, and about 36 per cent higher than the corresponding figure for 1942 of $1,133,000,000—the state's previous record. This cash farm income for California, produced on less than 3 per cent of the nation's farms, will probably be 8 per cent of the nation's total cash farm income. Preliminary estimates reveal that total value of agricultural products in Southern California is likely to exceed $700,-000,000 for a correspondingly large increase of about 36 per cent over the $515,469,731 value in 1942 — the previous record for Southern California. It must be emphasized that successfully complete the harvest of most crops without great loss or delay. Income Tax Payers To Have Aid In Making Returns Anaheimers, in common with all Orange county residents, will be afforded opportunity to file their 1943 Federal income tax returns locally, it has been announced definitely by Archie N. Vance., Southern California's chief field deputy of the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The local office will be open in Anaheim city hall on March 1 to 15. Deputy collectors will be present to advise taxpayers concerning their tax forms, but will not execute these forms. They will accept payments made by personal check or money order, but the only office in the county that will accept cash will be the permanent office in Santa Ana! Fullerton will have a temporary office in the chamber of commerce during the same March 1- to 15 period. Other county offices will be maintained for lesser terms in San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Seal Beach, Orange, Balboa and Huntington Beach. All offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily during the assigned period. March 15 is the last day for filing returns. Such returns are required from all single persons whose gross income in 1943 was $500 or more; all married persons whose gross income was $1200 or more. All persons who paid or owed a tax on 1942 income are required to file returns this year. come for California, produced on less than 3 per cent of the nation's farms, will probably be 8 per cent of the nation's total cash farm income. Preliminary estimates reveal that total value of agricultural products in Southern California is likely to exceed $700,000,000 for a correspondingly large increase of about 36 per cent over the $515,469,731 value in 1942 — the previous record for Southern California. It must be emphasized that while cash farm income for 1943 is much higher than ever before, the net income to farmers did not increase proportionately since production and marketing costs have been much greater than ever before. Milk producers in particular have had extreme difficulty in obtaining returns which would pay for their increased labor and feed costs. Weather conditions throughout the year were generally favorable to the successful planting, maturing, and harvesting of crops. Although prolonged late rains during the spring months materially delayed the planting operations of many crops, an extremely favorable fall, with continued warm, clear weather, allowed farmers to DEAN ARTHUR COONS JOINS IN CONFERENCE Dean Arthur G. Coons of Occidental college, well known in this city where his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Coons of Liberty Lane is a notary public, was one of the principal speakers at the recent regional conference of Pacific Southwest academy held in Los Angeles. "Full Employment and Free Enterprise" was the panel discussion led by Dean Coons, providing one of the most spirited and valuable phases of the conference, attended by leading educators.
