U.S. Treasury Department Woman Speaker Tells Lions About Air Transport Guest speaker at the Friday noon luncheon meeting of the Lions club, held at the Elks clubhouse, was Mrs. Vivian Englebrecht of the speakers bureau of Douglas Aircraft company, Santa Monica. The subject of her talk was "When Johnny Comes Flying Home." Thoroughly conversant with the airplane industry the speaker told an interesting story of the part air transport is playing today in the army, as well as in civilian and business activity. Even at this time, she said, an airplane flight starts across the Pacific every ninety minutes, while a flight across the Atlantic starts every 13 minutes. Fifty million miles of travel is made every month by American planes, covering almost every part of the globe, she said. According to conservative estimates of airplane factory officials, Mrs. Englebrecht said, they ex- In the annual report required by the Secretary of Agriculture, the Orange county office of the Agricultural Extension Service gives a statistical summary of its numerous activities during the past year. Thousands of contacts were made with farmers and farm groups through farm calls, correspondence, project meetings and demonstrations. The statistical data showed 2,-395 farm calls made on request; 2,727 office calls for agricultural information; 3,873 telephone calls received in connection with farm problems; 2,309 letters were written; 11,924 agricultural and home management bulletins were issued. 599 project leaders throughout the county cooperated in programed activities and 30 4-H clubs were supervised through the year. The report also revealed that 189 demonstration meetings were held by the staff. Besides its educational program, wartime projects engaged much of the attention of the staff, among which were farm labor recruitment and placement, emergency food production projects, food preservation, labor-saving devices, farm machinery repair and agricultural deferment investigations. Considerable part of the field work was in cooperation with local military operations. For most of the year the Extension staff had only three members Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, W. M. Cory, and Miss Frances Liles, Home Demonstration Agent. Mr. Longfellow came to the office in the late fall to supervise 4-H Club work and field crop production.

Even at this time, she said, an airplane flight starts across the Pacific every ninety minutes, while a flight across the Atlantic starts every 13 minutes. Fifty million miles of travel is made every month by American planes, covering almost every part of the globe, she said. According to conservative estimates of airplane factory officials, Mrs. Englebrecht said, they expect 300,000 planes to operate in this country after the war, carrying passengers and freight, as well as providing private transportation for a large number of private plane owners. Glen Hipes acted as program chairman, introducing the speaker. President Thayer Chapman announced a directors meeting to be held the following Monday night at the home of Ray Reafsnyder.

In terms of flats, Calavo last season sent 2,587,823 to market at a net return of $1.49 per 13-pound flat. The figure is 8 cents per flat larger than best previous returns in the 1913-44 decade and compares with the ten-year average of $1.72 per flat for the 1924-34 period in years when the avocado was still an almost unknown delicacy. The 1943-44 crop was the largest on record. Of the huge packout, 56.9 percent of all fruit shipped grade Calavo, and 25.5 percent were packed Bueno grade, due to surface blemishes. Of varieties, Fuerte led with 82.6 percent of all fruit shipped; Nabal was second with 6.9 percent; Anaheim, third, with 2.6 percent; Dickinson, fourth, 2 percent. Increases in shipments were registered by Taft, Lyon, Nabal, Edranol, Hass and Ryan; decreases by Anaheim, Spinks and Puebla. Continued future increases will doubtless be made by Haas, Ryan and Edranol on basis of present planting trends. The 1943-44 season was the fourth successive one showing large-scale increases in volume of returns to members of the association.

Navy Men Write Appreciation To Local Students The children of George Washington school are the proud possessors of several letters written by a number of men and officers of the U.S.S. Competent mine-sweeper in the Pacific Fleet, in appreciation of the Christmas gift packages that the youthful students helped to compile for the Red Cross holiday distribution. One of the most touching letters was written by Lt.(jg) Edward C.Lambert and was dated December 26. It reads: Dear children: I received your splendid gift package when Red Cross presents were distributed aboard our ship. Every item will be extremely useful and I want to let you know how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you so much. Our ship is a fleet minesweeper and has participated in one of the recent events you have read about or discussed in current topic class. Besides having a number of Japanese mines to its credit this ship has rescued fliers and once quite by accident it hit a whale, killing the unfortunate mammal but not damaging the vessel. Study your lessons hard because this wonderful American nation will soon be depending on you as the citizens of tomorrow. Sincerely yours,Lt.Lambert. Another letter was received from Lt.(jg)V.L.Brenneman, commanding officer and read in part: "Christmas far from loved ones far from beloved homes is brightened by the thoughtfulness of each and every one of you. Best wishes for a happy New Year to your student body and faculty." Another letter thanked the children for their package and made by Haas,Ryan and Edranol on basis of present planting trends.

The deceased was 66 age and was born in There will be 8 to 12 per cent fewer eggs in the United States during the next year with fewer laying hens and pullets now on farms in this country than at this time last year, according to industry surveys reported to the Agricultural Extension Service. There will be little change in the western states. Egg production has increased less in this part of the country since the war began than in other sections. Egg production in the Pacific coast states has gone up only about 20 per cent at the same time it has risen 42 per cent in the whole country. Before the war, the west used to ship eggs to other states. But with the big increase in wartime population, at times the west has had to import eggs from other regions. Right now the western states probably have 12½ per cent fewer laying hens and pullets than at this time last year. The demand for shell eggs will continue strong. Since little dehydrating is done in the western states, the supply of eggs and the demand for eggs during the coming year may prove fairly well matched, and California farmers may get better prices for eggs than will the average farmer in other parts of the country. Youth Confesses Theft of Anaheim Car Recently A fifteen year old Brea youth admitted to Santa Ana police last week that he had committed a series of thefts in and around Orange County in recent months, among them being an Anaheim automobile. He had been missing from his Brea home for five months and was one of two teenage boys arrested by Chula Vista police. When arrested the two boys were in possession of a .38 revolver which, the suspects admitted, was taken from an automobile in San Bernardino. Their robberies also included raiding the Fullerton ration board last December in search of gasoline coupons. Parents of the youth had not notified police that he was missing, allegedly telling the police that such a move "would make the boy mad."

'Old Maggie' -- Pacific Veteran The history of "Old Maggie," a Calalina PBY-5A, is the history of Marine aerial warfare in the Pacific. Her log book shows she has covered more than 382,000 miles during 2,800 hours of flight time. Completed on March 7, 1942, this Leatherneck-piloted plane not only has taken part in combat missions, during which she served as an airborne command post, but also has made innumerable sea rescues, has evacuated Koreans from a Jap stronghold and has saved the life of a Samoan native chief. Just refitted with new engines, "Old Maggie" is ready to resume her military meanderings. EXTRA! Greatest War News!
