United States Coast Guard Needs Part Time Men and Women for Home Duty "The Volunteer Port Security Force offers an unparalleled opportunity for men and women today who wish to give their services part-time to vital war-work," states Lieut. Jones. "In the short time since its inception in September of 1943, the VPSF has performed a tremendous amount of work formerly done by the Coast Guard and has freed an impressive number of Coast Guardsmen for sea duty. In many cases, the men and women of the VSP have assumed responsibility for entire offices previously manned by Coast Guardsmen now relieved to help in transporting our troops to battle fronts all over the world." Members of the VPSF, men and women alike, serve a minimum of twelve hours a week without pay, on duty, are as much a part of the Coast Guard as the full time regulars. With the progress of the war accelerating day by day many new members are needed in the VPSF to assure continued maximum efficiency in the operation of the various shore establishments. Together they serve—this group of husbands and wives who give twelve hours each and every week to the work of the Volunteer Port Security Force, the essential and important organization operated for the U.S. Coast Guard by these unselfish men and women of the Temporary Reserve who are serving at Collins Island Base, Balboa Island. Many additional men and women are needed for this patriotic work.

Quantity will not be greatly affected, says the report, a record yield being expected. Because of the lateness of many crops, due to mild summer, harvest of many of them was deferred for two weeks, running into the crops that usually employ the labor done with the earlier products. Last month this, together with the expiration of labor contracts for Mexican nationals, and no replacements, saw labor farm shortages, the report says. Valencia orange picking, due to the lateness of the season, will continue until Nov. 1. Demand and shipment for oranges was maintained. Avocado deliveries were light as the season approached the end. Next year’s output is expected to be small. Harvesting of the bumper peach crop ended, as did that for plums and prunes and pears. Harvest of almonds and apples began. Truck crops are late and yield for the year will depend on prolonged clear weather this month and in November. Tomatoes were adversely affected by the hot days in September. Yields are slightly less than last year. Green beans are light in supply. Lettuce harvest is proceeding in Santa Barbara and San Diego Counties while fall plantings proceed in the San Fernando Valley, Santa Maria and other coastal areas. Harvest of “snowball” cauliflower is proceeding. The pearl type is being planted. Celery planting for next year is in progress. this month. Indications are that a normal yield will result if weather conditions are favorable the next 60 days. Sugar beet harvest is half completed; the yields are good and sugar content high. Price controls and unprecedented demand kept the beef market from going down, receipts and slaughtering assuming record marks. Hog receipts were light and prices at ceiling. Receipts of sheep and lambs were light. Wartime Feeding Classes Still Open For Registration The Wartime Feeding class is still open for registration. All young married women and young mothers are especially invited to enroll in these classes. The fact remains that when the war is over a great number of young mothers will be establishing their own home for the first time since their marriage and food will be one of the biggest problems in their homemaking work. These classes provide an excellent opportunity for every home-maker to add to her store of knowledge on cooking and the young home-maker will learn the value of balanced meals for her entire family, paying big dividends as the years go by. Red Cross is especially happy to have Dr. Gladys Hartley Rhoem as the instructor as she is from our own community and understands local family needs. She is particularly anxious that this course be a general help to mothers in their individual food problems—such as getting children to eat proper foods. entangled an Ohio man, electrician and armature.

Teachers Annot Business Group California’s teaching for elementary schools so drastically reduced by lingly low salary schedule the grade schools, with children in attendance, forced to operate with teachers than they had before the State’s phil growth in population. William G.

Harvest of "snowball" cauliflower is proceeding. The pearl type is being planted. Celery planting for next year is in progress. The warm weather of September aided field crops, particularly dry beans, whose yield for the year, however, will be lower than last. Large offerings of alfalfa kept the price down; harvesting continued, most of the hay going into storage. Flax in the Imperial Valley yielded one of the best crops on record. Seeding will begin this month, with larger acreage. Cotton is two weeks late and picking will not begin until the middle of store of knowledge on cooking and the young home-maker will learn the value of balanced meals for her entire family, paying big dividends as the years go by.

Headquarters Join in Fight Against Pension Plans SAN FRANCISCO — If the Townsend pension proposal on the November ballot is adopted the overall tax bill of California citizens will be jumped to more than five billion dollars annually, a 20 per cent increase in our tax burden, Sidney M. Ehrman, chairman of the Statewide Tax Committee of the California State Chamber of Commerce, pointed out in a statement isssued today. During the fiscal year 1943-44, Ehrman stated, Californians paid $4,233,000,000 in Federal, State, and local taxes of which about 75 per cent went for war purposes. The pension proposal, Proposition No. 11, would add more than a billion dollars to this tax bill on the basis of 1943 gross income, he said. "The present overall tax burden, without taking into consideration this fantastic pension proposal, absorbs about 38 percent of the people's income," Ehrman said. "This is necessary in order to finance the cost of war, but the three per cent gross income tax which would be levied to finance the Townsend pension proposal cannot by any stretch of the imagination be construed as an aid to the war effort. On the contrary, it is distinctly inflationary and would impede rather than assist the conduct of the war. "Inasmuch as one fourth of the present tax burden goes for normal peacetime functions of government, the imposition of the Townsend gross income tax would amount to doubling tax collections words half of the people's tax bill would be devoted lar governmental function as law enforcement, supp institutions, education, a ways, while the other hal be earmarked for pension aged and disabled. "Such a proposal even times would dislocate oomy. Under wartime c and in view of the d which will confront us establishing our industry culture on a peacetime b proposal, if enacted ruinous."

"I believe the Republican candidates, Governors Dewey and Bricker, offer us the true leadership of liberty we must have to help this nation go forward," Mrs. Reynolds says. "That is why I am doing all I can to bestir American women in their political thinking, and to direct some straight-thinking on the 1944 issues." At the New York campaign head entangled an Ohio man, an expert electrician and armature winder. Two years ago he gave up his work and bought a small farm where he lived with his wife and sons. They had 7 cows, 27 sheep, 300 hens, 500 chicks and 225 ducks. This year's drouth in that section forced him to cut his corn to feed his stock, so he thought he would go back to his old job. In order to leave his farm he had to apply to the Marion county USES, which sent him to the Marion county agricultural agent, who sent him 23 miles, with no extra gasoline, to the Union county agricultural agent. The latter wrote a letter to the state agricultural agent and after three weeks a reply came telling him to apply to the Union county agent for a form to be filled out and taken to the USES. Then he was sent back to the Marion county USES and after a month he was given permission to work at the plant until Dec. 31. Meantime, he is out of feed and the government allows only 30 days credit. The man wants to know, "Is this America?" STANDARDIZATION SAVES THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS An annual saving of thousands of dollars as a result of standardization of approximately 12,000 Ninth Service Command forms, utilized by headquarters and field installations, was predicted today at Fort Douglas, Utah, by the command's Control division—watch dog of Army administrative costs. Teachers Answer Charges of Big Business Groups in Fight on School Bill California's teaching personnel for elementary schools has been so drastically reduced by "appallingly low salary schedules" that the grade schools, with 860,000 children in attendance, are being forced to operate with 7,000 less teachers than they had in 1938, before the State's phenomenal growth in population. William G. Sweeney, acting head of the Department of Education and Teacher Training at San Jose State College, so reported today in a letter to Walter Bachrodt, chairman of the State Committee for Proposition 9, the November ballot proposal designed to cope with the crisis. "At the present time," said Mr. Sweeney, "we have 860,000 elementary school children in California, there being an increase of 100,000 between 1920 and 1930, and an increase of 50,000 between 1930 and 1940." the war period, the State College teacher training executives estimated that California will need 34,000 teachers to staff its elementary schools next year—11,000 more than are now available. Commented Mr. Sweeney in his report: "The main reason for the loss in the profession, in my opinion, is the appallingly low salary schedule."

In 1938, there were 15,000 teachers in training in California; in 1938, there were 12,000, and in 1943 and 1944 there were only 2,-500 in all the elementary teacher-training institutions in California."
