Los Angeles St., Anaheim Although Navy chaplains tached to Marine combat units are traveling in the company of men with highly colored vocabulary they never forget their ecclesiastical background, according to Sgt. Jeremiah H. O'Leary, a Marine Corps combat correspondent. Reporting an incident experienced by Chaplain Lonnie Meachum of Virginia Beach, W. Sgt. O'Leary states: "The chaplain was standing in chow line when someone inadvertently doused him with a containment of scalding soup. After a moment he managed a wry grin and said: 'Would some layman please say a few appropriate words?'

Huston, secretary of the Los Angeles County Agricultural War Board, is the Noon Farm Reporter's scheduled guest for Thursday, February 17. Secretary Huston will review the recent meeting of the War Board Chairman with representation from the eight Southern Counties extending from Santa Barbara to Imperial. The meeting was also attended by chairman of the "triple A" committees. Huston will discuss with the KFI Noon Farm Reporter the many programs and "headaches" looming in 1944 for farmers in general. He will include in his discussion the new gas allocation program for farmers, the crawler-tractor outlook, the new truck situation, protein meals, the continuance of the Commodity Credit Corporation and the Canadian Wheat picture. The Noon Farm Reporter is presented by Clear Channel Station each day, Monday through Saturday, at 12 noon as a public service feature. WAR BONDS will guard against a post-war depression. Reliable information to the California Fruit Growers Exchange from London indicates that the only substantial imports of fresh citrus fruits to Great Britain in 1943 were from Southern Africa and the million boxes received were only a third of the 1942 total. Name Processors' Prices On Canned Grapefruit, Juices Processors' prices setting maximums on the 1944 pack of canned grapefruit juice, grapefruit segments, orange juice and blended orange and grapefruit juice have been set by the Office of Price Administration. These are effective at once on Florida and Texas stocks, with OPA planning to name similar maximums on the California and Arizona 1944 packs at a later date. With the exception of canned grapefruit segments, two sets of maximum prices were announced—one to apply on sales to government procurement agencies and the other for civilian channels.

Farm Bureau Holds Labor Survey; Few Men Available Now The "Agricultural Extension Farm Labor Office" staff is making a study in an endeavor to anticipate the farm labor requirements for the approaching crop season, according to Geo. R. Wells, manager of the office located at 1622 N. Main street, Santa Ana. While the growers in the county were quite successful in getting their last year's crops harvested without significant loss, Wells points out that with the expanding theatre of war in the Pacific coupled with the continued drafting of men from agriculture, the farm labor office and the farmers of Orange county are looking ahead to ascertain what the labor situation may develop next season. At present, says Wells, the farm labor situation is fairly balanced although his office now has a number of openings in agriculture when men of all ages can secure employment, both seasonal and steady. One of the greatest needs confronting placements now, to enable a farmer to secure year round help, is that of housing facilities, according to Wells who further states that a good percentage of applicants for work desire steady employment and are willing to accept most any kind of work providing they and their families can be housed on the farm. In order to encourage adequate housing facilities on farms for workers, the War Production Board will issue priorities for materials to be used in such construction and the amount a grower is authorized to spend is placed at $1,000 in any one calendar year. At this season of the year, Wells states, the demand for workers is low however he points out at this orange and grapefruit juice have been set by the Office of Price Administration. These are effective at once on Florida and Texas stocks, with OPA planning to name similar maximums on the California and Arizona 1944 packs at a later date. With the exception of canned grapefruit segments, two sets of maximum prices were announced—one to apply on sales to government procurement agencies and the other for civilian channels. Canned grapefruit segments will this year be sold only to the government, therefore a single price scale was set on this item. These prices, as named by OPA, have the approval of the War Food Administration and the Office of Economic Warfare. Cannery f.o.b. prices on Florida and Texas packs (which offer an indication as to where Pacific Coast prices will likely be set) are: Orange juice, per dozen cans, No. 2 size, natural (unsweetened) fancy,$1.70; standard,$1.675; off grade or substandard,$1.60. Sweetened-fancy,$1.725; standard,$1.675; off grade or substandard,$1.625. Maximums on government sales are 5 cents less per dozen cans of the No. 2 size. Orange and grapefruit juice blended (50 per cent of each) per dozen cans of No. 2 size: Natural (unsweetened) - fancy,$1.555; standard,$1.505; offgrade or substandard,$1.455. Sweetened-fancy,$1.580; standard,$1.530; offgrade or substandard,$1.48. Maximums on government sales are 5 cents less per dozen cans. Canned grapefruit segments (sold only to the government) per dozen cans of No. 2 size: sweetened,fancy,$1.61; choice,$1.56; standard or broken,$1.51. Telegram of Mayor Brings Reply On Mexican Treaty Commanding the immediate attention of Senator Sheridan Downey in Washington, D.C., was the formal protest which Mayor Charles A. Pearson sent to Senators Downey and Johnson and to President Roosevelt regarding the proposed Colorado River treaty with Mexico, diverting to that country double the previous allowance of water from the project to farmers for approximata same amount that wreckin panies would bid. There have also been tions that such war housing might be knocked down built for $700 or $800 each costly plan, perhaps than whole houses intact.

BONDS will buy security you and for America! At this season of the year, Wells states, the demand for workers is low, however he points out at this present time there are a number of unfilled openings in many different activities such as dairy work, general ranch help, removing of trees mostly walnuts, bee industry, lemon picking and navel orange picking. Orange county farmers are invited to call in at the new location of the farm labor office at 17th and Main streets, Santa Ana, and register their future needs with the office. It will facilitate the planning and procurement for 1944, says Wells. Placentia Orange Exchange Manager Honored By Club Harry O. Easton, manager of the Placentia Orange County Exchange, is the new president of the District Exchange Manager's club, succeeding Frank R. Hill of Santa Paula. The organization is made up of the managers of the twenty-five Sunkist district exchanges throughout California and Arizona. For many years manager of the Placentia Mutual Orange Association, Easton's citrus experience in Orange and Riverside counties extends over a period of 38 years. A. H. Kirchmann, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, is a member of this Sunkist group. Commanding the immediate attention of Senator Sheridan Downey in Washington, D. C., was the formal protest which Mayor Charles A. Pearson sent to Senators Downey and Johnson and to President Roosevelt regarding the proposed Colorado River treaty with Mexico, diverting to that country double the previous allowance of water from the project. Mayor Pearson wired his protest to Washington on Monday, following the plan of other California cities of the Metropolitan Water district. Senator Downey's telegram, read to the city council Tuesday night, said: "Am doing all possible interests California re Colorado River Project." In his message to Washington, Mayor Pearson protested the draft treaty with Mexico on the grounds that doubling the amount of water formerly used by that country would impair the rights of those who contracted here for the water. The Boulder project's storage was for beneficial use exclusively within the United States, he pointed out. Urging that the treaty protect water contracts made under the Boulder Project act, he asked that Mexico's rights in excess of 750,-000 acre feet per annum be made secondary thereto. KEEP ON Backing the Attack! WITH WAR BONDS Watkins Products C. V. CHILDS 224 W. Commonwealth Fullerton Phone - Fullerton 653-J Anaheim Gazette — Thursday, February 10, 1944 Page Eleven The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California California’s farm labor housing problem — one of agriculture’s major headaches, particularly in areas where large numbers of workers are needed for comparatively short periods to harvest seasonal crops—may be at least partially solved after the war, if a practical plan can be worked out to move and utilize emergency housing units now located in war production centers. Admittedly, there are many wrinkles to be ironed out, however, if such a program is to be carried out successfully, one being the question of moving costs. In the experiment already undertaken, it was found that it cost $200 to move war housing units from Indiana to Iowa—and such moving costs might make the program prohibitive, unless the government agreed to sell the housing to farmers for approximately the same amount that wrecking companies would bid. There have also been suggestions that such war housing units might be knocked down and result for $700 or $800 each—a less costly plan, perhaps, than moving whole houses intact. Assistant State Director of Agriculture Lyman Lantz, who was made a comprehensive survey of the situation, but whose studies still incomplete reports that dedicated on the assumption that means can be found to purchase and move the buildings at prices farmers or farm organizations can afford to pay. The demountable houses have one to three bedrooms, a kitchen and living room in each unit, with all necessary plumbing fixtures. Mr. Lantz asks that farmers who need housing for either permanent or seasonal workers, and who have any thought of buying some of the war housing units, write to the State Department of Agriculture for further information. One plan that has been suggested is that such houses be reconstructed on lots either on or adjacent to farms, where they would be available to workers who wish to purchase housing for themselves and families. In many cases, it might be feasible to sell enough land with the houses to permit farm workers to have small subsistence farms of their own, which would have a tendency to stabilize farm workers and would aid in solving the migrant problem. Still other growers are said to be interested in developing permanent community farm labor settlements, while others are interested in having adequate housing on their own properties to care for both seasonal and permanent workers. It is not possible at this time, Mr. Lantz declares, to decide on all the details of a program for using the war housing units, but cooperation of Federal and State agencies has been promised in working out a practical plan, with the Chief of the Bureau of Immigration and Housing and members of the State Reconstruction and Re-employment Commission. Walnut Growers Meet Today Orange county walnut growers are attending a county-wide meeting today, Feb. 10, to consider labor saving devices in the orchard for the coming year. This special meeting was called by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, and Chas. Van Wyk, chairman of the walnut growers department, to show motion pictures of the latest development in mechanical walnut shakers and harvesting equipment that were taken last season in Southern California orchards. E. R. Serr, walnut specialist, and J. P. Fairbank, agricultural engineer of the Extension Service, were to be present to discuss and describe labor saving devices for the walnut orchard. The new boom type of shaker will be shown. Geo. Wells, Farm Labor Recruitment and Placement manager, is to discuss the farm labor situation and outlook for Orange county, and explain the survey of farm labor now under-way in the county. The meeting is being held at the Farm Bureau headquarters, 353 South Main street, Orange. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870. There have also been suggestions that such war housing units might be knocked down and rebuilt for $700 or $800 each—a less costly plan, perhaps, than moving whole houses intact. Assistant State Director of Agriculture Lyman Lantz, who was made a comprehensive survey of the situation, but whose studies are still incomplete, reports that farmers definitely want first option to purchase the demountable war housing and dormitories built in San Diego, Vallejo, Richmond and other such crowded war centers when the government is ready to sell them. From Langdon Post, regional director of the Federal Public Housing Authority, comes the statement that approximately 15,-200 demountable housing units will be available after the war—about evenly divided bewteen the northern and southern ends of the state. He also believes that the two best uses for them will be on adjacent to farms, or in national parks. From Assistant Agriculture Director Lantz comes the added statement that a State-wide checkup has uncovered a demand for 23,000 housing units in farming areas, or considerably more than the total of units available. This demand, of course, is pre-ing on their own properties to care for both seasonal and permanent workers. It is not possible at this time, Mr. Lantz declares, to decide on all the details of a program for using the war housing units, but cooperation of Federal and State agencies has been promised in working out a practical plan, with the Chief of the Bureau of Immigration and Housing and members of the State Reconstruction and Re-employment Commission indicating a desire to be helpful. Officials of the National Planning and Housing Association, also have given general approval of the program. All of these, with representatives of the Statewide farm organizations, are actively at work as a Committee perfecting the details of plans for effective utilization of this demountable housing. FHA LOAN APPLICATIONS CONTINUE TO INCREASE January number of applications to finance and build new housing under the Title VI program of the Federal Housing Administration showed a 20 per cent increase over the December volume, and was over ten times that for January 1943, John E.
