Investigate Possibility of Bringing German Prisoners Here for Farm Work The Agricultural Extension Service is now investigating the extent to which German war prisoners may be needed and used in Orange County to meet the agricultural labor requirements of next season, according to Farm Adviser H. E. Wahlberg. On Monday of this week, representatives of the Extension Service and the citrus industry went to Camp Ayres at Chino to observe the war prisoner camp there and also observe the prisoners working in the vineyards nearby. A camp of 250 prisoners has been established there by the army under contract with the local Grape Growers' Association. The Orange County Labor Office of the Agricultural Extension Service is now trying to determine how the prisoners may fit into the local farm labor requirements and their acceptance by local farm employers, before definite negotiations are made with army officials for procurement and housing. More than 4,000 German prisoners of war now are engaged in harvest work in California and it is expected that many more will be assigned for seasonal farm jobs, says Wahlberg. At present, the prisoners of war are working in eight counties on assignments from four California military camps. The German prisoners are expected to perform a day's work comparable to that performed by an unskilled free worker, according to word received from the State Farm Labor Office. When the task has been conservatively set, and when the farmer has given proper instruction and supervision, the prisoners have reached that goal and their work has been of good quality. Several branch camps have been established, under military supervision of the Ninth Service Command, and the war prisoners are under constant surveillance of military guards. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES If the predicted cut in the number of Federal Government employees actually materializes after the war, Washington is going to look as vacant as a football stadium in January. Of the more than 270,000 now working in the Nation's capital, it is said that only half of them will be needed after V-Day. As to the Federal employees located around the country, the cut is expected to be even greater. Congressman Rampeck of Georgia estimates that the over-all total of nearly three million will be reduced to 900,-000. In California the number of Federal workers was 276,000 as of March 31, 1944. A year ago the number was 232,000. By comparison, our state has 31,000 employees.

CENTER ANAHEIM November 7th Will Decide! ★ On that fateful day it will be decided whether America shall be governed by Americans or foreign born radicals and corrupt machine politicians will complete their taking over of our government. ★ The success of the Hillman-CIO attempt to gain control depends on three things... First, the belief according their lying propaganda... Second, the casting of every possible big city vote... Third, the failure of rural people to go to the Polls. ★ Neither the Hillmans, the Browders, the Hagues, Pendergasts or Kellys are concerned about party principles or the welfare of America. They support the Fourth Term because they expect to be paid off in places and power. ★ None of them has a shadow of agricultural interest. Their only interest is to own the Fourth Term Administration body and soul. ★ Russian born Hillman, head of the Communist controlled CIO Political Action Committee is known for what he is. Bass Pendergast went to prison for his crimes, only to be pardoned by President Roosevelt, as was Browder, the Communist. Pendergast’s protege, Harry S. Truman, is Roosevelt’s hand-picked running mate. ★ There are no morals to Communism. It is the avowed enemy of human freedom and human rights in property. Furthermore, a clean and honest America cannot survive with machine bosses in control of the national government!

Chamber of Commerce, Farm Bureau, Back No. 12 Continued misuse of the name of the California Farm Bureau Federation by labor union opponents of Proposition 12, was criticized today by E. C. Kimball, chairman of the Right to Work committee, who said he had received another communication from Ray B. Wiser, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation complaining of misrepresentation by the unions. Wiser's letter said, "I have repeatedly protested to the Committee Against Proposition 12, to desist using my name or the name of the California Farm Bureau as being opposed to Proposition 12. On September 19, I was informed by the Committee Against Proposition 12, that they would immediately desist using my name or that of the California Farm Bureau, in any way as being opposed to Proposition 12. "I wish to state once more that neither the California Farm Bureau nor myself is opposed to Proposition 12, that we are both in favor of the principle of the right to work, and have recommended that individual members express their conviction at the polls." Eric Johnston, President of the United States Chamber of Commerce denies, in a recent letter, that he is opposed to the measure. USO Worker From Brazil Speaks At Rotary Luncheon Avocado Outlook To be Featured at La Habra Institute What are the trends of production and new plantings in the avocado industry? What is the outlook for the industry? What varieties have shown the best consumer acceptability? These and other pertinent questions will be answered and discussed at the Fifteenth Annual Avocado Growers' Institute to be held at La Habra on October 27 at 9:30 a.m., according to Farm Adviser H. E. Wahlberg. There is a decided interest in new plantings, said Wahlberg, as revealed in the many inquiries coming to his office in recent months. The greatest deterrent to the rate of new plantings is the current shortage of nursery stock, he reports. Soil and root problems associated with the avocado decline disease and a program report on the investigations now underway by the Experimental Station will also be presented. Weather and frost forecasting for avocado and other fruit growers will be explained by weather bureau and radio officials. The afternoon session will be in the field to observe first handed and on the ground, some of the tree soil operations necessary to efficient avocado orchard management. All growers and others interested are invited to attend, according to H. H. Gardner, Chairman of the Farm Bureau Avocado Department, which is cooperating with the Extension Service in the annual event. The final meeting for the morning's session and the afternoon field trip has just been released by Farm Adviser H. E. Wahlberg.

Lucas, back from Natal, Brazil, where he was stationed with an overseas branch of the USO, gave an interesting program at Monday's noon lunch-eon meeting of the Rotary club at the Elks clubhouse. Program Chairman Jerry Patton introduced the speaker. Cooperation of the Brazilian government and the people was praised by Lucas who said a fine spirit existed between the armed forces of that area and the local officials and civilians. "We owe Brazil a debt of gratitude for granting us military and air bases in her territory for patrol and the African transportation service," he said. Service of the USO in the foreign fields includes arranging for entertainment for the service men, dances, tours, and providing club rooms where a home-like atmosphere is maintained, and where they can secure some of the nicknacks, such as American soft drinks, bacon sandwiches, etc. Lucas exhibited souvenirs, Brazilian flags, and animal and snake skins brought back with him from the southern country.

NAME ADDRESS Switzerland Topic Of Club Speaker At Lions Meeting An interesting account of life in Switzerland, the economic system employed there, and how the romantic little nation with a standing army of 500,000 keeps out of all wars, in spite of the fact that she is surrounded by aggressor and warlike nations whose armies are numbered by the millions. Miss Marie Von Kanel, native American, whose parents were both born in Switzerland, gave the address from first-hand information gained from two visits to the natal home of her parents. She was in Switzerland in 1939 when the present war broke over Europe, which, she said, was no surprise to the Swiss people who had known of its coming and had been preparing for the part they would play, by staying out of it, for several years. Miss Von Kanel recently came to Anaheim as secretary of the local Girl Scouts organization and is a trained leader in her field. With a brilliant and educated mind Miss Von Kanel has clearly sensed the errors of some of the larger nations in the structure of their economy, which includes monetary, political and social. While the government and social systems in America were originally patterned after that of Switzerland, which was established on August 4, 1921, she indicated that considerable digression has taken place. In Switzerland, for instance, every citizen is educated and on a social equal with his neighbors, every able-bodied man is a member of the army, and the wealth is divided to the point that there is no poverty in the country. The per-capita wealth in Switzerland, where there is no induced by Joe Wilmore and J. A. Baker. President Thayer Chapman announced there will be no meeting this Friday noon due to the meeting of the Orange County Council of Lions clubs to be held here tomorrow night. All members are expected to attend the County Council meeting. Birthday greetings were extended to Marshal Beebe, Glen Hipes, O. E. Hanson, and Lee Fabian, all of whom were allowed to contribute one cent for each year of their age to the charity fund of the club. Fifty-eight percent of last winter's California-Arizona grapefruit crop was sold in California, Washington ranking next with less than six percent.
