Government keeps on a scarce item during the most significant thing discussion on the Post propriation Bill was praise expressed by ment.

Your War Bond Investment Is Your Investment In America Your War Bond Investment Is Your Investment In America During 1940-41 she played first trumpet with the Los Angeles Women's Symphony and at present is solo French horn with the Whittier College Community Symphony.

The Anaheim Kiwanis club decided to sponsor the organization because its members felt they would be doing a great service in bringing this group of talented young musicians before as many people as possible. Population Gain In Eight Counties Indicated by Check Southern California's eight counties which comprise the Southland OPA district got at least 187,566 new residents during the 13 months up to February 1st, it was indicated today when Frank Balthis, Jr., OPA District Director, disclosed the number of Ration In Eight Counties Indicated by Check Southern California's eight counties which comprise the Southland OPA district got at least 187,566 new residents during the 13 months up to February 1st, it was indicated today when Frank Balthis, Jr., OPA District Director, disclosed the number of Ration Book No. 4's issued during that period. The greater part of the ration books issued were for new born children and returning War veterans. For the month of January births and returning servicemen totaled 13,408, while the decrease in ration books, shown by deaths and persons entering the armed services, amounted to 4,023. The total net issuance of War Ration Book 4 as of February 1, for the eight counties is 4,089,279. Balthis said that only a small portion of the increase could be credited to "first applications" by persons who for some reason had never made application previously. In addition he pointed out that, as immigrants and out-migrants retain their ration books, the net gain does not reflect the total population increases. In Orange county war ration books issued to January 1, 1944 totaled 158,764 with 9,780 added during the 13 months to February 1, 1945, bringing the total to 168,-544. RETURNS TO COLORADO Mrs. W. E. Downey who has been spending the winter with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Marvin of South Illinois street left yesterday for her home in Loveland, Colorado. WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS A Few Figures Here and There: We recently passed the appropriation bill for the Post Office Department. The Department is now operating in black ink. For as many years as I can remember, the Post Office Department had a deficit. Last year the post offices of the U.S. handle 34,209,065-289 pieces of mail. About a third of the mail that comes to my office goes into the waste basket; it is propagada matter and matter in which I have no interest at all and for the most part is expensively printed on good paper, which the Government keeps on insisting is a scarce item during the war. The most significant thing about the discussion on the Post Office Appropriation B111 was the high praise expressed by the Department. I agree, but I think the employees would rather have less praise and quicker action on the bills providing for pay adjustments to represent more nearly present costs of living, and to put the pay of postal employees in line with the pay of the employees of other Government agencies. There are 443 Prisoners of War Camps in the U.S. They contain, right now, 307,981 German prisoners of war and 50,571 Italian prisoners of war. There are few Japanese prisoners in the United States: 3,021 to be exact. Not many anywheres. The War Department is talking about bringing another 100,000 German prisoners to this country. Since the camps have been established (two years ago) 1,301 German prisoners have escaped from them; most of them have been captured and returned. The prisoners are not going hung- 875,743,07 Federal taxes last year. A third of the people of Hawaii are of Japanese descent. Hawaii would like to be the 80th State in the Union. Most of the information in this paragraph came from a bulletin sent his local papers by Congressman Miller of Nebraska. In reply to a question the other evening, at a dinner which I attended, Byron Price, the head of Bureau of Censorhp, was asked in how many languages his office had to read and censor material. His answer was: 132 languages and dialects. Another evidence of the way we're spread over the world.
