Thursday, March 8, 1945 As Marines Storm Anaheim City Dads Start Vigorous Defensive Campaign The Marines have stormed the citadel and landed on the shores of Anaheim (via Los Angeles street) but so far they have not won the battle and if the City Dads have anything to say about it they won't. For the third time in two weeks automobiles driven by Marines have been involved in accidents on Los Angeles street and the city ornamental lamp posts are succumbing rapidly. In fact the situation has become so bad that the city council has seriously taken up the matter of further traffic regulation and have now referred it to the California State Highway department and asked for suggested improvements that might be made at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets where two serious accidents have occurred recently. Several weeks ago the Lions club presented a resolution to the city council suggesting that the stop and go traffic signal function all night instead of the present hours, and that the 15 degree road dip be removed. The first accident occurred when a sedan driven by Marines collided with a heavy fuel oil truck and trailer with the result that heavy crude oil flowed freely through the main part of town when the truck overturned. The sedan was also badly damaged as was an ornamental light post and a part of a restaurant. Early last Monday morning a car driven by two Marines crashed at the same intersection and smashed into the Joe Wagner real estate office in the 100 block on South Los Angeles street. Both Marines were badly injured and it was later discovered that they County Farm Advisor Talks Before Kiwanis This district was more than half way past its goal Tuesday noon in the Red Cross War Fund drive, having raised $14,000 in the first four days of the campaign, A. J. Schutte, director of the drive, told Kiwanians Tuesday noon at the Elks club. Schutte made special mention of the record attained by the Katella district, which last year raised $2,500 and up to Tuesday noon had turned in $3,500. Speaker of the day was Harold E. Wahlberg, Orange County farm advisor, who related observations made on a recent trip east to the nation's capital. He referred to conditions as he found them in the Piedmont Belt and told of soil erosion control methods being used in the Orange county to prevent any such occurrence here. Various economic prospects for the future of agriculture were also discussed. Wahlberg was introduced by William Schumacher, former supervisor of Orange county and member of the local club, who served as chairman of the day. President Paul Bakenhus presided. Conservation Week Proclaimed By Governor Warren New supplemental gasoline coupons, B7 and C7, are issued now to eligible motorists local O.P.A. boards and may accepted by dealers, Paul Barale d'Orr, O.P.O. district raid chief, said today. Coupons E3 and R3, which for gasoline for non-highway are also currently being issued acceptable now. Coupons B5, B6, C5, C6, E1 R2 continue valid until further notice, d'Orr said. For further information of drivers identifying the new supplemental and non-highway coupon d'Orr pointed out that the B7 coupons are printed in green, the coupons in purplish red (magen ink). The non-highway E3 coupons are green and the R3's purple. Move Seen to Broad Cover All Gainful Seeking to carry out the statements made in the last election both President Roosevelt and Governor Dewey, the Social Security Board in its ninth Anniversary Report recommends that Old-Age and Survivors insurance be extended to all gainfully employed Americans, and that immediate action be taken to protect the insurance rights of members of armed forces and of civilians who have been in Federal wartime service. Some 14,000,000 persons—agricultural workers, domestic workers in private homes, and self-employed persons—are today with insurance protection under Social Security, as are another 5,000,000 employees of non-profit institutions—churches, hospitals, colleges and employees of State, county and municipal governments. Early last Monday morning a car driven by two Marines crashed at the same intersection and smashed into the Joe Wagner real estate office in the 100 block on South Los Angeles street. Both Marines were badly injured and it was later discovered that they were driving a stolen car. One of the Marines was taken to the county hospital and the other to the Corona Naval hospital. Tuesday night another Marine, Cpl. Aubrey Charles Clark from the El Toro base, crashed into another lamp post in the parkway in front of the municipal light and water plant on South Los Angeles street. Something apparently went wrong with the steering gear on the car and it jumped the curb. As both Los Angeles and Center streets are part of the California State highway system the city council cannot act in the matter or make any changes without the approval of the state. At the meeting Tuesday night Councilman H. E. W. Barnes met with his associates for the first time since his recent illness. Ordinance 683, providing for registration of bicycles, was held over for further discussion. Perry LeRoy Curtis was appointed special deputy to serve without pay. With this appointment the city now has four such special deputies who are supplementing the city police force and serving without pay. Arrangements were made, at the request of St. Catherine's Military school, to reserve tables to accommodate 400 cadets and their mothers at a Mother’s day picnic celebration that will be held at the city park on May 6. B. F. Flynn requested domestic water for his residence outside the city. The request was granted. Job Printing, Gazette, Phone 2206. Wahlberg was introduced by William Schumacher, former supervisor of Orange county and member of the local club, who served as chairman of the day. President Paul Bakenhus presided. Conservation Week Proclaimed By Governor Warren Regional Forester S. B. Show, in charge of all U. S. Forest Service activities in California, today pledged the renewed support of his organization for California Conservation Week, proclaimed by Governor Warren for the eleventh annual observance on March 7-14. “For the past forty years,” Mr. Show said, “the Forest Service has been advocating the practice of sound conservation measures. The singling out of one week every year when groups and individuals are encouraged to consider conservation practices helps to drive home the importance of our natural resources to every citizen of the state. “The California Conservation Council, through its honorary president, Duncan McDuffie, who is also president of Save-the-Redwood League and the Service Club, has scheduled Friday, March 9, as the day when the conservation of forest products and the prevention of forest and range fires will be emphasized. Within the next 35 years, most of the remaining old-growth forest stands will be cut over. From then on, the second-growth timber will have to maintain California’s important forest products industry. “Last year more than 7,100 forest, range, and watershed fires occurred in California. Care would have prevented 9 out of every 10 of these fires.” The Gazette wants your personal news items. Please phone 2206. Government Rebate By GEORGE S.BENSON President of Harding College Senior Advisor EXCESS is a word that needs a new definition with each new use. It would have been a good thing for this country if the man who first gold "lives profiter" had used it. Price concessions to government departments are certainly nothing new, and firms with government contracts do not offer much protest against a stiff tax on war insurance rights of members of armed forces and of civilians who have been in Federal wartime service. Some 14,000,000 persons—agricultural workers, domestic workers in private homes, and self-employed persons—are today with insurance protection under Social Security, as are another 5,000,000 employees of non-profit institutions—churches, hospitals, colleges and employees of State counties and municipal governments. “This limitation of coverage the report states, “is the most serious shortcoming of the basic Federal system.” Benefit payments under the insurance system are inadequate. The Board recommends that earnings should be counted in computing benefits, that improvement be made in the method of computing the average monthly wage, and that the benefit formula be changed to permit the payment of larger monthly benefits. Hardship results from the requirement of the Social Security Act that benefits must be held for any month in which beneficiary earns $15 or more in covered job. This requirement originally designed to free workers who badly need them, no longer applies or serves a useful purpose. A more liberal "work clause" should be written into the Act. The United States is the only nation which insures workers against old age without insurance them against permanent or chronic disability. It is one of only three which insure loss of earnings from unemployment without also insuring the loss from temporary sickness. Both forms of disability insurance, the report states, would easily into the Old Age Survivors system and could handled on a cost basis with the reach of the American worker. The Social Security Board recommends that the Federal insurance system be broadened to constitute an Old Age Survivors, and Disability insurance system. Victory Gardens Again the Vogue As Spring Arrives H. W. Longfellow of the Agricultural Extension Service advising home gardeners to plant beets, carrots, green onions, raisins and turnips as soon as they ground can be prepared. The crops will usually grow satisfactorily if planted at any time during March and April. The earlier in the period that they are planted... EXCESS is a word that needs a new definition with each new use. It would have been a good thing for this country if the man who first said "excess profit" had used a term that meant exactly something. Excess baggage is everything over 150 pounds of course, and doctors know precisely what excess fat or excess sugar is when they find it, but what is excess profit? Who knows what it is? Our 1940 tax law calls a profit "excess" if it is greater in any one year than the same firm's average annual profits of 1936 through 1939. War choked out a few firms completely, but a majority kept going and soon found their sales swollen by war conditions. Costs increased too but, even so, most of them are making bigger profits annually before taxes now than they did before the war. Costs ALONG with increased Shrink costs, born of war, many big corporations enjoy economies also incidental to war. Costs can usually come down with greatly increased volume, and many manufacturers are selling everything they make to the government as fast as they can make it. Some are relieved entirely of sales expense and kindred expenses such as merchandising, warehousing, deterioration, etc. Business establishments have consistently given liberal discounts to big-volume buyers whose purchases keep plants busy and unit costs down. Government is always a preferred customer. Price concessions to government departments are certainly nothing new, and firms with government contracts do not offer much protest against a stiff tax on war profits. Business men are able to see sense in it. Laws TECHNICALLY, the excess profits taxes that corporations pay now are not price concessions because the firms actually get the money and pay it back later. It is almost precisely a rebate to the government for large purchases. The only difference is that our excess profits tax is a law. War contracts are worded to cancel themselves the day war ends, but the tax law has to be repealed by Congress, or remain. Excess, in this law, is the unfortunate use of an ugly word. It describes profits that are not necessarily too big. The effective tax rate is 85% and if it is not amended to end with the war, American manufacturers will have to keep on rebating the government after the government quits buying. Selling and warehousing costs will return. There will be no big-customer savings to divide with anybody. If manufacturers give government 85% of any part of post-war profits, they will be obliged to hike prices. That will be an "excess", really, and the whole burden of it will fall on us average consumers. The only way we can protect ourselves is by having proper tax legislation created now, to go into effect as soon as the war ends. Victory Gardens Again the Vogue As Spring Arrives H. W. Longfellow of the Agricultural Extension Service advising home gardeners to plant beets, carrots, green onions, raisins and turnips as soon as the ground can be prepared. The crops will usually grow satisfactorily if planted at any time during March and April. The earlier in the period that they are planted, however, the greater advantage is taken of winter rains and consequently the less irrigation will be required during the dry season. A common difficulty in starting these crops in the failure of seedlings to break through the ground surface. Bright weather following winter rain may form a very hard surface crust. It is worthwhile, therefore, to keep the surface moist by occasional sprinkling or by covering with burlap until seedlings have emerged, unless this same result accomplished by frequent rain. These crops are all well adapted to planting on raised beds, which practice is now available in heavier soils. Bed plantings is essential if ditch irrigation is to be practiced during the dry season. Maid beds 15 inches wide and spaced them 2 to 2½ feet apart. Raise the beds until their surface level and fine-textured. Sow seeds in two parallel furrows about 1 inch apart. Apply the necessary seed treatment. Sow seed this enough to secure a good stand, and several weeks after emergence seedlings, thin them to a distance of 1 to 2 inches.

Agriculture Projects Told to Rotary Club The vocational agricultural projects being carried on by the Anaheim Union High school proved of great interest to the Rotary club members on Monday when Joe Wilmore, agricultural teacher at the high school, described for them various projects under way. Not only are the agriculture projects of vocational value but they aid in building character and developing responsibility, he said, and added that animal projects have a greater appeal for the boys than crop projects. This year the school bought 20 acres of farm land to develop a farm project and this makes the high school one of the very few in the state that has such a project. The farm has been planted to hog pasture, dairy pasture, alfalfa, vegetables and deciduous trees. Later citrus trees will be planted and grown. The Anaheim Union High school was selected as one of the schools that may participate in the Sears-Roebuck heifer project. Sears furnish free a registered Jersey heifer calf each year for three years to be given to some boy in the department. The boy is to return the first heifer calf to the department and in that way the project becomes perpetual. Not only is each student required to maintain an agricultural project but several projects are maintained by the agriculture department. In 1940 a chicken project was started with 100 baby chicks; in 1941 a feed grinder was purchased to teach the boys the methods of mixing feeds as well as furnish them feed for their projects and in 1942 the club sent 33 pairs of slippers and 100 washrags to Unit 3 at the Corona Naval hospital while a box of apples was also taken over for a treat for the boys in the adopted ward.
