Aid To Needy In Orange County Up 27 Percent Over '44 Direct payments for aid to the needy in Orange county were up 27 per cent for May, 1944, compared with May, 1943, California Taxpayers' association stated today, making public its study of the ups and downs in the four kinds of public aid to the needy in California. The total number of persons receiving aid in the county increased by ¼ of 1. per cent when the two months are compared. Total payment for aid to the needy in the county during May, 1944, was $159,000, compared with $125,742 for May, 1943. Numbers of needy persons receiving the four kinds of relief in the county were 3,579 during May, 1944, and 3,570 during May, 1943, the association found. Biggest share of the increase in the amount of aid given to the needy in the county occurred in aid to the needy aged, with a 31 per cent increase in total amount of aid paid out and an increase of 4 per cent in the number of people receiving such relief. Aid to the needy blind went down 10 per cent, with the number of people receiving such aid going down 10 per cent. Aid for needy children went down 10 per cent, with the number of children receiving such aid going down 14 per cent. Aid to county indigents went down 38 per cent, with the number of people receiving such relief decreasing 55 per cent. Over the State as a whole, relief payments for May, 1944, totalled $8,699,567, up 24 per cent over the $7,027,134 granted in relief for May, 1943. During May, 1944, 293,263 people received relief, compared with 206,832 for May, 1943, decrease of 2 per cent. Aid to the needy aged in California went up 31 per cent when Funeral For Roy Fulsom Wheeler To Be Held Friday Funeral service for Roy Fulsom Wheeler, 54, whose death occurred at the Seaside hospital in Long Beach on Saturday, June 24th, will be conducted from the Hilgenfeld chapel on Friday afternoon at two o'clock. The Rev. Earl B. Sloan, pastor of the Brea Christian church of which the deceased was a member, will officiate and burial will be made in Loma Vista Memorial park. Left to survive are his wife, Mildred E.; one daughter, Mrs. Malton Nichols of Fullerton; two sons, Ray Nelson with the armed forces and Roy Arthur of Fullerton; three sisters, Mrs. Frank E. Loud, Jr., Mrs. Charles Woodbury, both of Mass., and Mrs. Walter B. Yates of Brea and two brothers, Waldo P. Wheeler with the armed forces and Ray B. Wheeler of Redondo Beach. TUBES REMOVED FROM RATIONING All new tubes — passenger, truck, tractor, implement — will be removed from rationing on July 1, OPA announced today. This action was taken with the concurrence of the Office of Rubber Director. This move eliminates the necessity of persons needing new tubes to apply to their local war price and rationing board. It also aids in the conservation of tires, since a good tube properly inflated prolongs the life of a tire. This is particularly important at this time during the extreme shortage of civilian truck tires, OPA pointed out. FISHING IN INYO COUNTY Fishing is good in Inyo County at Crowley, June and Silver Lake, reports the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. Farm Advisor Secrets Dewey and Brickell Get Nominations Most crops are good but some what delayed in many of the farm sections of the middle west according to observations made by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg who just returned from a combined business and vacation through the middle west and Great Lake states. Grain crops in Kansas and the panhandle Texas are the best in years after the combination of good prices and good yields make the farmer there quite jubliant. Better than average crops of peaches and cherries were seen in Michigan but the labor situation there at the time of his visit was more acute than experienced here far this season. Migratory families from Tennessee and Kentucky were beginning to appear, following appeals for harvest labor in the Agricultural Extension Service labor offices in that area. The corn crops of Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska are considerable delay because of late rains and season, but if the fall is late and no early frosts occur, farmers interviewed indicated that at least average crops should be expected. Wahlberg visited a number of outlets for California citrus fruit avocados and deciduous fruits in Chicago and Grand Rapids. The quality and packaging of California fruits was noticeably superior in spite of present packing and transportation difficulties. Citrus fruits were selling at ceilings prices. The Chicago stock yards were bulging with hogs and cattle; he said, and certainly gave the appearance of a plentiful supply of meat for the coming season. Over the State as a whole, relief payments for May, 1944, totalled $8,699,567, up 24 per cent over the $7,027,134 granted in relief for May, 1943. During May, 1944, 293,263 people received relief, compared with 206,832 for May, 1943, decrease of 2 per cent. Aid to the needy aged in California went up 31 per cent when the two months are compared, with the number of needy aged increasing only 4 per cent. Aid to the needy blind decreased 11 per cent both in amount of aid and in persons receiving such aid. Aid to dependent children dropped 7 per cent in aid given and 17 per cent in children receiving such aid. Aid to county indigents decreased 4 per cent with a 20 per cent decrease in persons receiving such aid. Grove Resident Dies Sunday In Riverside Home Mrs. Frances Anna Nelson, 85 years old, passed away at the home of her daughter at 2582 Seventh Street, Riverside, Sunday, having made her home there for the past eleven years. She with her family settled in Garden Grove in 1893 and continued her home there until moving to Riverside. She was born in Judsonia, Ark. Surviving her are the daughter, Mrs. Grace M. Middleham of Riverside; four sons, George E. Nelson, Turlock, Calif., N. Fred Nelson, Garden Grove, Rev. James F. Nelson, Wilmar and Albert O. Nelson of Costa Mesa; 25 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Calvary Presbyterian church in Riverside with the Rev. J. Ezra Egley, pastor, officiating. Rev. James F. Nelson, a son of the deceased, assisted Rev. Egley. Burial was in Anaheim cemetery, with Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary in charge of arrangements. SUPERFORTRESS OF THE AIR Most of the facts about the new skymonster known as the B-29 which is scheduled for more flights over Japan, are closely guarded secrets of the United States War Department, but enough information has been relied upon the life of a tire. This is particularly important at this time during the extreme shortage of civilian truck tires, OPA pointed out.

BENSON President of Harding College Searcy, Arkansas PEOPLE in the United States are still allowed to own property. We are all used to the idea and it does not seem strange to us, but in some countries it is not allowed and many politicians oppose it. They are not all in faraway Muscovy either. Some Americans think it is wrong to own property. They are not saying much about it because such talk would do them no good right now. But they are gaining converts quietly. Fortunately a big share of Congress is elected by farmers, even yet. Farmers own property and like it. Suppose some farm-state congressman should suggest that all farmers surrender their fields to the government and take a government farm job. He would face sure defeat at the polls. That's why communists have to hide from Congress while they cook their imported poisons into medicine for you and me. Crafty CHIEF among things Method that communist politicians are aiming at is the "abolition of private property." Of course they can't argue anybody into the notion of giving away their property. They know that. The only way they can separate an owner from his property is to make it impossible for him to keep it. The easiest way to do this is to make taxes so high he can't afford to own it. That's about what's happening here now. The communist platform of Karl Marx contains two wicked tools for transferring property to the government from private individuals, such as farmers: (1) A heavy, graduated income tax—the bigger the income the higher the rate. (2) Killing the right of inheritance. Together, those two instruments can do the foul work. We have No. 1 in America already. No. 2 has been seriously advocated in our own Congress. Proposed CONGRESS could set Remedy up no better fender against communism in this country, could devise no safer strategy for the home front, than to take tax laws more intelligently in hand. There is a movement on foot already to amend the Federal Constitution so as to make 25% the top tax rate on gifts and inheritances and, except in war time, on personal incomes. Maybe 25% is high, but it's a ceiling and I'm in favor of it. Already 14 states, Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Wyoming have endorsed the move by act of legislature. Such an amendment would bring several incidental benefits to national prosperity besides setting up a safeguard against the transfer of private property into public hands by the tax route. The United States is sure of an employment problem after the war unless industry is freed from the ball-and-chain effect of present taxes. "The real remedy for unemployment is the creation and maintenance of work opportunities for working men and women in private industry." Who said that? None other than Matthew Woll, while he was vice-president of the American Federation of Labor. He was dead right too. Your loan will fill that gap! SUPERFORTRESS OF THE AIR Most of the facts about the new skymonster known as the B-29 which is scheduled for more flights over Japan, are closely guarded secrets of the United States War Department, but enough information has been revealed to give a pretty good idea of the size and performance of this wonder plane. Roughly, it is half again as large and twice as heavy as the Flying Fortress and the Liberator. It has a wing span of 141 feet, is 98 feet long and stands 27 feet high. Its four engines are nearly twice as powerful as the Fortress—generating 2,200 horsepower each. It is designed to travel at heights around 30,000 feet, and at a speed that would challenge our fast fighter planes. It carries a crew of 11 men and a much heavier bomb load than the Fortress and it bristles with .50-caliber machine guns and a 20-mm. cannon. The plane was first conceived back in early 1940 and had its first flight in September of 1942. Since then it has had more than 8,000 hours of tests. Inter-car telephone systems for crew members are installed in Union Pacific's fleet of Streamliners, bany of them a quarter-mile long and consisting of 19 cars. Your loan will fill that gap!

ON'S TRAFFIC TOLL EASES FOR SEVEN SECUTIVE MONTHS nationwide motor vehicle "take" man life as of April this year used consecutively for seven as with the March slowdown in fatalities, previously noted, discounted by later figures. The traffic death toll during April alone was 12 per cent greater than that of the same month in 1943 and three times the 4 per cent increase in March comparative figures. Four-month statistics for the Nation reveal that there has been a 15 per cent increase in motor vehicle fatalities over the like period last year. That's the grim news announced by the Public Safety Department of the Automobile Club of Southern California in a statement stressing the need for continued local, state, and national emphasis on safety. PASTOR TO RETURN Rev. James B. Abbott, pastor of the Free Methodist church, who has been attending the conference meeting in Los Angeles, is being returned to the Anaheim church for another year.
