Rabbit growers are interested particularly in disease control activities and in organization. Walnut producers will discuss harvesting wages and conditions.

Other groups may also meet. After a dinner arranged by the home department of the county Farm Bureau, the afternoon session will feature a speech by Ray B. Wiser, state president of Farm Bureau. He is expected to dwell largely upon his impression of the future of farming as affected by the United Nations conference at San Francisco.

New Assessments Added to Tax Rolls Public utility property valued in excess of a billion dollars will be added to local tax rolls throughout California as the result of assessments made here today by the State Board of Equalization. Subject to the same tax rates as property valued by local assessors, the state-assessed property will yield current city, county, and district revenues of more than forty million dollars. In Orange county tangible property assessed by the State Board of Equalization last year and this year compares as follows: for 1944, $16,403,820; for 1945, $16,879,970. Board chairman, R. E. Collins of Redding, and board members, William G. Bonelli of Los Angeles, George R. Reilly of San Francisco, and James H. Quinn of Oakland, will be in session to equalize any of these assessments until August 20, when the rolls will be certified to the county auditors for computation of the taxes to be paid locally. Gas and electric companies constitute the largest classification of property taxpayers whose holdings are subject to state assessment. Included in the total are some inter-county pipe lines and canals, but nearly all of the valuation results from the assessment of public utilities. 30-DAY LEAVE Flight Officer Richard A.

PAN HAD WON and has learned, through seizure of a secret document, that Nazi high command, what he would have been under attack by Hitler. The English would be a slave people, their transformation into German main war workshop to outweapons and material use against Russia. This plan may convey a mild imitation of this nation's and the Japanese conquered area. Nazi blueprint for English government provides, in part: ration to the continent of all men between 17 and 45, their replacement in England German workmen; this to sabotage. Death to any person impeding the Nazi fort. National laws mainly only if they were "not easy to the purposes of the occupation". Rigid rationing, with the people's health to be considered important only in relation to the slave nation's efficiency in production, and to preclude epidemics among their Nazi masters. Japan's plans as would-be victor over the United States, if they are ever found, almost certainly are of even sterner stuff. The Nazi regime for England embodied cold, merciless efficiency in exploitation. But Japan's warlords, by their combat savagery and torturing of prisoners and interned civilians, have made evident an almost psychopathic hatred for the American people, such as Hitler felt toward Poles and Jews. The intrinsic cost of victory in this Pacific war, in American lives, in suffering and in treasure, is incalculable. Yet we know, as the English know, that the price will be cheap, even though it should impoverish this generation and its children and its children's children. There can be no price tag on the dignity and liberty of a civilized people. Miss Maureen Barriner has returned from a trip to Missouri where she went to visit her father who has been ill.

CAN YOU READ BETWEEN THE LINES? ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY It seems some folks can read between the lines in letters from servicemen. Even worse, they talk about what they read. In some cases the results have been disastrous. Information of this sort picked up by Jap agents has played a part in the sinking of American ships and the bombing of troop positions. It has helped relay exceedingly important information to the enemy about our strength, weapons, and methods. Remember—when you disclose any kind of military information you may be putting it in a direct channel to Tokyo. Service people are forbidden to reveal their whereabouts in combat areas. This rule is for their protection. When they evade censorship by the use of crude codes, or in any other manner, they not only subject themselves to additional danger, but jeopardize their comrades as well.
