Orange County Farmers Organize To Get Vote On Objections To AAA Enlarging further upon a recent action taken by the Orange County Farm Bureau to secure a ballot of farmers of California upon the various features of the activities of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration that they favor or are against, C. J. Marks, County Secretary of Farm Bureau, stated that the local farmers apparently are solidly in favor of retention in some form of the beneficial features of the act that promote soil conservation. He also stated that there are other practices of the AAA that receive approval but that the chief thorn in the side of the farmer in the handing out of benefit payments for practices that would ordinarily be performed in normal times without any incentives from the government. The farmers also have taken a national stand that they are opposed to consumer subsidies on food, feeling that the national income levels are high enough to allow the very minor rise in foods that would occur on other then basic crops if such subsidies were not paid. They have also said that they oppose piling up a national debt that will have to be paid in part by returning service men in order to reduce slightly the groc- Missionary From China Will Speak To Lions Friday Miss Margaret Twinum, Anaheim Missionary to China who returned from a Japanese prison camp on the Grisholm last December will be the guest speaker at this Friday’s noon luncheon meeting of the Lions club at the Elks clubhouse dining room. Her appearance before the civic club was arranged by Lion Louis Hoskins who will introduce the speaker. In great demand to appear before various organizations to relate her experiences in the Orient, especially during the months she was held captive by the Japs, Miss Twinum has been scheduled for this appearance for many weeks. Her narrative promises to be one of the most interesting programs brought to the club lately and a full attendance is anticipated. Highlight of last week’s meeting was the appearance of Lt.-Com. Marshal U. Beebe, Anaheim hero of the sinking of the U. S. Airplane Carrier Liscomb Bay in the South Pacific last December, who was a guest of his father The farmers also have taken a national stand that they are opposed to consumer subsidies on food, feeling that the national income levels are high enough to allow the very minor rise in foods that would occur on other then basic crops if such subsidies were not paid. They have also said that they oppose piling up a national debt that will have to be paid in part by returning service men in order to reduce slightly the grocery bill of people who are receiving good incomes. Because they oppose such consumer subsidies they do not feel that they should be cajoled into the acceptance of farmer subsidies when they are opposed to the principle. In many cases in the nation instances have occurred when the producers were practically forced into signing up for participation in the agricultural conservation program or they would be denied priorities and other privileges. These cases are now being investigated by Congress. Pending the survey that they hope will be conducted throughout the state the local farmers are not in a position to state what parts of the program are favored or objected to by the farmers as a whole, Marks indicated. Kiwanians Hosts To Combined Club Meet Next Tuesday Next Tuesday noon the Anaheim Kiwanis club will be host to a combined civic club meeting arranged for the benefit of members of other clubs since an outstanding speaker will be on the program that day.

The custom of A. each meeting is to The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California ODT Warn Farmers On Transportation Problems For '44 Serious farm transportation problems facing the Pacific Coast during 1944 have been predicted by Robert Hicks, Chief of the Farm Vehicle Section of the Office of Defense Transportation "because there is less manpower and from 10 to 25 percent less trucks to handle transportation than in 1943. While last year emergencies were the exception, this year we expect them to be the rule. The unpredictable factor is the weather. Sudden ripening of crops in the face of less trucks and manpower to do the job may bring about critical conditions." Mr. Hicks said that haulers will be dispatched according to schedule by processors and canners as was successfully accomplished last year and that ODT will have dispatchers in the field to direct trucks to loads and to expedite bottlenecks occurring in the field. Processors and canners will be required in addition to maintaining regular truck dispatch schedules to arrange for prompt unloading of trucks at destination to eliminate truck delays. Farmers and owners of motor trucks were cautioned to "treat that truck as though it were the last one they will receive for the duration. This means," said Hicks, "It will be necessary to follow precisely recommendations on truck maintenance." DAUGHTER BORN FRIDAY Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Farmer of 218 South Clementine, Anaheim, announce the birth of their Recognizing this condition, and the need for giving the problem consideration now, rather than waiting for the headache to develop, the Committee on Post-War Economics of the State Chamber of Commerce, composed of some of the ablest business, industrial and farm leaders in California, has studied the question and made a series of recommendations which are worthy of the consideration of all thoughtful citizens. The Committee recommends: That Congress and the Legislatures of the several States in acting upon social security or other public assistance plans be guided primarily by these considerations: 1. Increased output of goods and services and the expansion of productive work in private enterprise are fundamental to the future security or standard of living of all the people and to the solvency of their government. 2. Under existing and probable future burdens of taxation, higher payroll or similar taxes upon business for the support of large new social security programs will restrict needed expansion of production and jobs. The adverse general results of such a restriction on jobs and payrolls are likely to be so much greater than any of the intended benefits to specific groups or individuals, as to justify opposition at this time to any large extension of social security programs. "The American people," says the Committee, in commenting on its findings, "cannot wisely or justly raise social security benefits to the point where it does not pay able-bodied individuals to live productive lives. To attempt to place social security benefits at too high a level is to strike at two of the main sources of America's strength—the acceptance of responsibility by the individual for his own welfare, and the incentives which enable our people to promote progress and employment. "The best security for an individual is that the individual develop within himself the qualities of the American spirit and his own abilities and skills to perform the useful and constructive work for which he is most suited." Another limit upon the extension of collective aid to the unfortunate, which cannot be exceeded without injury to eliminate truck delays. Farmers and owners of motor trucks were cautioned to "treat that truck as though it were the last one they will receive for the duration. This means," said Hicks, "it will be necessary to follow precisely recommendations on truck maintenance." DAUGHTER BORN FRIDAY Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Farmer of 218 South Clementine, Anaheim, announce the birth of their daughter, Linda Sharon, born Friday, April 7, at the General Hospital in Fullerton. Her grandparents are Mrs. G. Farmer of the above address; Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Gheysens of Placentia and Mr. and Mrs. Ball of Ruby, Calif.

MRS. RAYMOND HOLT Mrs. Raymond Holt of Garden Grove, announce of a son, born at the Community hospital "The best security for an individual is that the individual develop within himself the qualities of the American spirit and his own abilities and skills to perform the useful and constructive work for which he is most suited. "Another limit upon the extension of collective aid to the unfortunate, which cannot be exceeded without injury to the productive enterprise which sistains all such activity, is the size of the tax load." There can be no doubt of the soundness of the Committee's conclusions. While government aid can properly be used to help unemployed or other unfortunates over a period of emergency, just as Red Cross aid is administered in case of disaster, there are maximum limits to which governmental guarantees against the ills of life can be afforded without contributing to the ills themselves.
