Lucille Kelly Goes to State 4-H Conference Chosen as an "all-star" 4-H club girl, Miss Lucille Kelly left Sunday for Berkeley where the fifth annual state 4-H "All-Star" conference was held Monday through Thursday of this week. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percy V. Kelly of route two, Lincoln Boulevard. Miss Kelly left Los Angeles last Sunday in company with two other representatives of this county, Robert Hight of Olive and Miss Dorothy Beavers of Stanton. Miss Kelly was chosen for this honor last year but was unable to attend at that time. These 4-H members were chosen from the county organizations for their outstanding work in their respective clubs, and they will exchange their views, ideas and plans with the other To a Carpenter who wants an unusual job Out on the Southern Pacific line out where the grass skitters when the train whisks by where there is room to breathe (yes, and to swing a hammer), the railroad has a job for you. Building bridges, culverts, doing railroad construction work with men who figure a carpenter too can hammer out a vicinity representatives from over the state. Their aim is to work toward the betterment of their homes, their clubs and their communities and these state conferences serve as a means of the solution of their many problems. During the state conference, "diamond - Star" representatives will be chosen and these young people will go to Washington, D.C., to attend the national conference. Several University of California professors will be speakers at the Berkeley conference as well as other prominent speakers. Representatives from the counties of southern California also attended this meeting. Gardeners Urged To Plan Before Planting Time This year's Victory Gardeners would do well to have a planned food supply schedule well worked out before planting their gardens, according to Frances L. Files, Home Demonstration Agent in Orange county. "True, the government is seeking an increase in the home garden output, but the increase should involve the following considerations," says Miss Liles. "The importance of high vitamin vegetables for health, succession planting to avoid too great volume at one time, and the planting of vegetables which lend themselves Two-Job Women Urged to Streamline Their Home Tasks A large number of women these days are faced with the double or even triple task of working outside, handling their usual home work, and then having to do the handy-man jobs that a now-absent son or husband used to do. This situation calls for some high powered streamlining of household work, says Frances L. Liles, Home Demonstration Agent in Orange county. "With everyone working extra hard, 24 hours just doesn't make as long a day as it did before the war," said Miss Liles. "One answer is for these two-job women to gear their home work to a half-time schedule by eliminating some less essential tasks and taking short cuts with others." Here are just a few of the energy short-cuts that have been found helpful by a number of home-makers. Others are finding new short cuts of their own by questioning every old method and seeing if it can't be improved by some war-time streamlining. Fold sheets, towels, overalls and pajamas as they come off the line; buy knitted underwear which does not need ironing; rearrange the kitchen so unnecessary steps will be eliminated. Other timesavers are baking in glass or pottery dishes that can be To a Carpenter who wants an unusual job Out on the Southern Pacific line... out where the grass skitters when the train whisks by... where there is room to breathe...

"The importance of high vitamin vegetables for health, succession planting to avoid too great volume at one time, and the planting of vegetables which lend themselves to successful home preservation cannot be overlooked." Help for Victory Garden beginners is to be found in the circulars on home gardens available, without cost, through the Agricultural Extension Service, Ramona building, Santa Ana; the planting of only those vegetables which do well in the soil to be used; the planting of only recommended varieties; the use of seeds procured from reliable sources; the keeping of the pest control program simple and the use of spaced plantings.

Mrs. Mary Swindler was officially seated as president: Mrs. 'Phone Company Sends Dividends To Shareholders Appreciation of public understanding of the telephone problem and of customers' cooperation in helping to meet the situation was expressed today by N. R. Powley, president of The Pacific and Telegraph Company and the Southern California Telephone Company, in a statement accompanying dividend checks mailed to common shareholders, according to word received by R. J. Rossberg, local telephone company manager. Mr. Powley's statement follows: "With a thorough realization of the indispensability of the telephone in our nation's war program, our company is using its facilities, restricted as they are by the stringent war limitations on materials and the manufacture of telephone equipment, to install without delay all services classified as being directly connected with the war effort, or necessary to public health, welfare or security. Although the installation of other services, necessarily subordinated to those in the war priority classifications, cannot be made as rapidly as applications are received, everything possible is being done to provide service, over-burdened as our telephone plant is. With the margins of our spare facilities generally depleted, installations for waiting applicants are dependent in most instances on the release of facilities by customers who discontinue service. "The increase in telephone demand, both for installations and for long distance, continues its pronounced upward course. The A little of this and a little that: - The farmers of my district who have been working there selves into nervous breakdown trying to get someone to milk whole cow; get feed for her unvary difficult conditions, and try to sell the resulting milk and still stay in business with the price set by the OPA is less than the cost of production, be stimulated to learn that Department of Agriculture issued a booklet entitled "N.Y Yields and Milking Rates of Individual Quarters of the D.C. Cow Udder." - The OPA has determined officially how many stitches may have in our underwear. Comment on this item is reserved until I see if this booklet is to be allowed by a more constructive telling how to darn the holes. - The subcommittee of House Committee on Agriculture of which I am a member, investigating the Farm Security Administration, found families making up to $250 a month living free in FSA houses; and some families making as high as a month paying only $1.75 or $1 a week rent, with all medical tendance and all utilities omitted. The Committee on Agriculture has introduced a bill organizing the F.S.A. completed. - "Beany" Baldwin, head of the Farm Security Administration, spent practically a million dollars of the taxpayer money for such projects as builting 2 million acres of land, and stalling collective farms." Seated at Ceremony Installation Newly elected officers of the Womens Relief Corps were installed last week when the social club of the organization met at the home of Mrs. Mary Mitchell on South Los Angeles street. Mrs. Jennie Nevin and Mrs. Mary Fordyce were assisting hostesses. Mrs. Mary Swindler was officially seated as president; Mrs. Mitchell as vice president and Mrs. Bessie Fitzpatrick as secretary. Mrs. Webb, past president of the club, acted as installing officer. A delicious pot-luck luncheon was enjoyed at the noon hour. An Easter motif was carried out for table appointments. Installation Services Held For Mother's Club An impressive candlelight ceremony formed the background for installation of officers of the Mother's club of the First Presbyterian church last week at which time Mrs. Anita Plegel was seated as president. The ceremony was held in the Blue room at the church. Seated with Mrs. Plegel were Mrs. Virginia Critchfield as vice president and Mrs. Evelyn Robinson as secretary. Mrs. Plegel, Mrs. Marguerite Baker and Mrs. Phyllis Pendleton were hostesses for the social hour that followed. Regular Meeting of Womens Relief Corps The regular meeting of the A. B.

Small Dinner Applications are received, everything possible is being done to provide service, over-burdened as our telephone plant is. With the margins of our spare facilities generally depleted, installations for waiting applicants are dependent in most instances on the release of facilities by customers who discontinue service. "The increase in telephone demand, both for installations and for long distance, continues its pronounced upward course. The splendid cooperation and understanding of the public make an almost impossible task an inspired undertaking to our men and women, who, 'with more to do with less to do it with,' are doing their utmost, with their characteristic resourcefulness, ingenuity, courage and courtesy, to 'take the message through'." John L. Walker, Local Resident, Passes Sunday John L.

April 20 Last Day To Pay Taxes and Avoid Penalty April 20 will be the last day to pay the second installment of county taxes to avoid the delinquency penalty, it was announced by Tax Collector Don S. Mozley. At the same time he reported that payments of taxes to date have been very satisfactory with over 78 per cent of the total taxes already paid. Up to last Saturday $4,121,-863.11 of the total assessment of $5,254,016.11 had been paid into the county treasury, he said. Many of the taxpayers are paying the entire amount of their taxes instead of taking advantage of the second payment plan. If the present rate of payment continues Mozely believes that practically all tax money will be paid in before the deadline on April 20. He expects the delinquency to be less than one per cent which will be better than last year, the best on record, when delinquency accounts were only slightly more than one per cent. POULTRYMEN MEET Orange county poultrymen held a meeting at the Farm Bureau offices at Orange Tuesday evening when George Alsorn, marketing specialist for the University of California, was the speaker. He gave information on the causes, effect and cure for the present egg prices, considered too low by the producers. WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The farmers of my district, have been working them into nervous breakdowns to get someone to milk a cow; get feed for her under difficult conditions, and then sell the resulting milk still stay in business when price set by the OPA is less the cost of production, will simulated to learn that the treatment of Agriculture has a booklet entitled "Milk Rates and Milking Rates of the Annual Quarters of the Dairy Udder." The OPA has determined really how many stitches we have in our underwear. Common this item is reserved until if this booklet is to be followed by a more constructive one, how to darn the holes. The subcommittee of the Committee on Agriculture, which I am a member, investigating the Farm Security Administration, found families making up $250 a month living rent in FSA houses; and some makes as high as $400 per month paying only $1.75 or $2.00 each rent, with all medical attention and all utilities furnished. The Committee on Agriculture has introduced a bill realizing the F.S.A. completely. "Beany" Baldwin, who as of the Farm Security Administration, spent practically a billion dollars of the taxpayers pay for such projects as buying million acres of land, and in collective farms, me to have any particular sympathy for Italy, do you, after the way she acted in this war? One of the government agencies publishes what my newspaper friends call a "clip sheet" and which I suspect makes a typical newspaper office triple play: from the envelope to the hand to the wastebasket. I give thanks daily that this particular issue saw the light before recent hostilities in the Pacific Area, and I hope General Eisenhower will get his copy before the European invasion. What do you suppose would have happened if General McArthur had not learned that "Old male Pacific walruses weigh from 2000 to 3000 pounds," or that "The tongue of a woodpecker is longer than the bird's head." Even more seriously, suppose that General "Ike" had been compelled to go into battle with the lives of a million American boys in his hands, and not have known that "European butterfish lay their eggs in empty oyster shells," or that "The little jumping mouse can sometimes leap as much as ten feet in one bound." I dread to think what might have happened to our chances of victory if our soldiers were to have remained ignorant of the fact that "The catfish of the African swamps is the only fish which is definitely known to swim upside down." "American farmers have done the best job of any war industry. In spite of all handicaps, they have raised the biggest crops in history." Albert S. Goss, Master of the National Grange said it.
