AAA AND THE FARMER USDA ORGANIZED “There will be no immediate change in county AAA activities despite recent reorganization of the Department of Agriculture,” Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county AAA committee stated today. Reorganization was effective in Washington August 20, to combine AAA, Commodity Credit Corporation, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation and various other agencies into an overall Production and Marketing Administration. John B. Hutson, Under Secretary, USDA, is appointed to head the new agency. N. E. Dodd, former AAA chief, will head the new administration Field Service Research. The AAA committee system is retained in the new agency and state and county committees will have broader authority as they will be concerned with food marketing as well as food production programs. This is in addition to the regular agricultural conservation and crop insurance programs, which AAA has been handling. It is expected that most of the special farm priority and rationing services AAA has operated during the war will be discontinued soon. Dairy, beef, and lamb production payments will still be paid through AAA. "Reorganization of state and Victory Chest Meeting in Santa Ana Tonight Tonight, Thursday, an important Victory Chest (renamed War Chest) meeting will be held at the Santa Ana YMCA building and will be attended by representatives from all over the county, including Anaheim. Edward J. Power, chairman of the local Community Chest and Victory Drive, and representatives from each of the participating organizations in the local chest will be present. The meeting will convene at 8:30 p.m. Plans and organization for the October drive will be outlined. Mayor Charles Pearson, chairman of the Anaheim Community Chest, is calling a meeting of the local chest this week at which time organization plans will be completed. A report will be heard from the budget committee that is still at work formulating the overall chest budget. A new secretary-treasurer will be elected to take the place of City Clerk Charles Griffith, who resigned last week. Anaheim Man Hold On Arraignment in superior of four men who are with having been involved recent armed robberies, them against Leslie Simpson prietor of the South Sea and the other against the Drive-Inn cafe on Highland was continued over last till tomorrow, Friday, because of the defendants still retained counsel to defend Lew Cooper, 49, and Mathis, 44, told Superintendent Judge Kenneth E. Morrison they had been unable to counsel because they were permitted to use the book in the county jail admitted that they had one man who had refused to present them, but said they to pick one from the book.

It is expected that most of the special farm priority and rationing services AAA has operated during the war will be discontinued soon. Dairy, beef, and lamb production payments will still be paid through AAA. "Reorganization of state and county agencies affected by the change will be gradual," Griset stated. "All field programs directly pertaining to farmers will be handled through state and county committees." October First Deadline Named The deadline date of October first has been established for California as the end of the period in which prior approval applications for performing fall practices may be made in connection with the 1945 Agricultural Conservation program, according to an announcement today by Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county committee. Griset explained that this unusual requirement occurs because the fiscal year of the agricultural conservation association is being changed from September first to January first, and therefore certain fall practices will require approval, which after this year will be handled at the beginning of the farming season as in the past. The fiscal year of 1945 runs for sixteen months and, therefore, involves the repetition of some practices that require prior approval by the county committee, Griset stated. All farmers who have signed a farm plan for the 1945 program have been notified of the necessity for filing prior approval applications and intentions, but the October deadline was established only on August 23, and therefore is not generally known, Griset explained; and added that the prior approval applications and intentions are to be filed at the county office in Santa Ana. The reason for the deadline date is to permit the making of an estimate of probable practice payments for fall practices in California, as required by the budget bureau, Griset said; and explained that the estimated payments for Orange county must be calculated as of October first, and local chest this week at which time organization plans will be completed. A report will be heard from the budget committee that is still at work formulating the overall chest budget. A new secretary-treasurer will be elected to take the place of City Clerk Charles Griffith, who resigned last week. Anaheim Man Held On Murder Charge A Mexican national, Julian "V" Nagrete of 1140 Parry street, died at 1:40 a.m. Aug. 24 at the Orange County hospital after receiving several head wounds and an abdominal cutting the night before in a fight with another Mexican, Epifanio A. Martinez of 124 E. West Santa Ana street, who is charged with homicide. Already arraigned, Martinez is being held pending his preliminary hearing in city court that has been set for 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1. Last Thursday evening the police received a telephone call from Freddie's service station at the corner of Lemon and Los Angeles streets, saying that a Mexican was there who had been in a fight and wanted to see the police. When the police arrived, they found Martinez who allegedly told them that he had been in a fight with Nagrete on Romneya drive near Parry street. He was taken by the police to the scene of the fight where they found a large crowd gathered around the wounded man. Nagrete was bleeding profusely about the head and had been stabbed in the right side of the abdomen. Taken to the Orange county hospital, he died early the next morning. Martinez, a truck driver, was booked and locked up. Industrial Show In Los Angeles More than 150 southern California industries will show their plans and products for peacetime production when "Industry on Parade", the Second Annual Industrial Exposition, opens at Pan-Pacific Auditorium, Los Angeles, this Saturday, September 1. Running for nine days including Sunday and Labor Day, the parade of industrial products will be of interest to everyone and will include hundreds of items such as Mrs. Elwood TerBeest and went to Texas six weeks visit their husband and who is stationed at the Army air field.

Revenue Office to Go on 40-Hour Week Harry C. Westover, collector of internal revenue for southern California, today announced that all revenue offices in the ten southern counties have been placed on a 40-hour week, and beginning immediately will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday of each week. Henceforward, all revenue offices will be closed on Saturdays. Collector Westover also stated that for the first time since the beginning of the war emergency, revenue offices will observe national holidays. To get sufficient depth of water for large tankers at a port in the Mediterranean war theater (something the Italians seem to have overlooked when they built some of their oil terminals before the war) American oil men strung a floating pipe line off the end of two docks in one seaport. Eggs coated with a film of highly refined, colorless, paraffin base oil, may be preserved for months at 31 degrees Fahrenheit. Local Breeder B Registered Bull Another step was taken the standard of his fine Holstein-Friesian cattle when Keith Auman of A purchased a registered bull the herd of George DeWorlandk. Change of ownership for animal, Sutton Oaks 887314, has been officially issued by the Holstein-Friesian clation of America, with quarters in Brattleboro, Vt. An announcement has from the association station during 1944, 4,820 register transfer certificates were sent to California breeders. The shortage of labor in California citrus belt is lightened by the arrival from the Island of Jamaica. Arraignment of Hold-up Suspects Is Continued Arraignment in superior court of four men who are charged with having been involved in two recent armed robberies, one of them against Leslie Simpson, proprietor of the South Seas cafe, and the other against the Henry Drive-Inn cafe on Highway 101, was continued over last week until tomorrow, Friday, because two of the defendants still had not retained counsel to defend them. Lew Cooper, 49, and Ernest L. Mathis, 44, told Superior Court Judge Kenneth E. Morrison that they had been unable to arrange counsel because they were not permitted to use the telephone book in the county jail. They admitted that they had contacted one man who had refused to represent them, but said they wanted to pick one from the telephone book. They are being held on default of $50,000 bail each in the two hold-ups. Robert L. Davis, 22, former Long Beach police officer, has been represented from the start by Atty. Russell Behrens, of Santa Ana. The fourth defendant, Daniel McCormick, Long Beach real estate man, had Atty. Preston Turner as counsel last week in court when the four men were called up on a charge of the armed robbery of George A. Henry at the Henry Drive-Inn cafe last July 21. He is free on $5,000 bail. Davis, Cooper and Mathis were arrested Aug. 1 after a gun duel with local police following the hold-up of Leslie Simpson, proprietor of the South Seas cafe, at his home 1038 E. South street. Another vacation column. The time to sell or trade what you have is when somebody else wants it. The lawyers have an expression that the time to get a fee is when the tears are hot. This column still contends that the time to make arrangements about what we are going to get in return for lend-lease; about the Island bases; about airports built in foreign countries at the cost of millions of dollars, and numerous items of this kind, was as each necessity arose. It was the feeling of the then Chief Executive of the United States, and so expressed by him, that we should not make any deals with our friends while the war was going on. One of the results of this policy, which certainly is not a characteristic American policy, is shown by the fact that the U.S. has built 370 airfields all over the world. I do not know the total cost, but I do know that three dozen of these fields costs over $400,000,000. That still leaves 334 to be accounted for. The U.S. retains no rights for the use of these fields after the war and the question now under discussion is who owns the fields and who may use them. The same argument is growing on the retention of various Island bases, particularly in the Pacific, just as there is, and will continue to be, an argument over reimbursement for lend-lease and other supplies furnished by the U.S. In the early days of the war all questions could have been settled quickly and easily. You have probably seen recently, in the politician of the future. Instead of a carefully planned campaign schedule, the candidate will fly around the district and any time he sees 10 square feet of landing space and a few people gathered together, he will drop down to talk to them. You and your wife may be having a few friends in for what you think is a quiet little garden party, and before you know it some candidate for Supervisor or for Congress will be hovering just over your heads like a humming bird, handing out his cards, while another candidate with a loud speaker attached to his helicopter, will be slowly flying up and down Main street, or Fourth street, or Hobsonway, just above the traffic, reciting his superior qualities. These modern inventions have their disadvantages, as well as their good points. County's Cost to Retirement System Upped Orange county's cost of operating the county employee retirement system has taken a big jump. County Auditor Les Eckel discloses following the first payment under the actuarial study that has more than doubled the county's contributions toward retirement. County and district contributions in the first six months under the pension system were 3.25 per McCormick, Long Beach real estate man, had Atty. Preston Turner as counsel last week in court when the four men were called up on a charge of the armed robbery of George A. Henry at the Henry Drive-Inn cafe last July 21. He is free on $5,000 bail. Davis, Cooper and Mathis were arrested Aug. 1 after a gun duel with local police following the hold-up of Leslie Simpson, proprietor of the South Seas cafe, at his home, 1038 E. South street, Anaheim. McCormick was charged with being involved in the July 26 hold-up. Tries to Hike Home from Texas Three-year-old Danny TerBeest, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Ben TerBeest of South West and Ball roads, figures that Amarillo, Tex., is all right but hotel rooms don't begin to compare with grandpa and grandma's ranch and that's the reason he is glad to be back here even if it did mean leaving his soldier daddy behind. Danny came home by train last week but he wanted to come before that and he tried in the only way a 3-year-old can. At least he walked in the right direction. One evening while his mother was taking a bath he slipped out of the hotel room and started for Anaheim. He headed west and this walk took him over two different railroad tracks before he was tired and hungry. It was the smell of ham and eggs in a little corner cafe and the sight of a little 2-year-old boy inside that finally made him pause. To the kindly cafe manager he said, "I wanta go to grandma's." They took him to the police station instead where his mother was frantically beseeching the aid of the officers. Mrs. Elwood TerBeest and Danny went to Texas six weeks ago to visit their husband and father who is stationed at the Amarillo Army air field. Now that they are back they will make their home in Midway City with her parents, but first they visited "grandpa and grandma's ranch." Pickwick Hotel Cafe Burglarized Some time during the early morning of August 23, the Pickwick hotel cafe was burglarized, the owner, Catherine Diminuco, reported to the police and slightly the war and the question now under discussion is who owns the fields and who may use them. The same argument is growing on the retention of various Island bases, particularly in the Pacific, just as there is, and will continue to be, an argument over reimbursement for lend-lease and other supplies furnished by the U.S. In the early days of the war all questions could have been settled quickly and easily. You have probably seen recently, in the newspapers, that the U.S. has had to pay $4,000 on each Liberty ship that has gone through the Suez canal, plus a toll of 20c for each soldier. Yet, as part of the lend-lease program, we have permitted Great Britain, France, Holland and other countries interested in the Suez canal, to use the Panama canal without paying the usual tolls, but to charge this up against the lend-lease program. Helicopters of the postwar period will apparently be able to land and take off on a ten-foot square spot. Right now my flying friends tell me that you have to learn to fly a regular plane before learning to fly a helicopter, but just as soon as they put out a model that has nothing on the dash board but a gasoline gauge, an altitude meter, and a few knobs reading up, down, sideways and stay where you are, then you may expect to see your Congressman hovering over any part of the district and filling engagements in Santa Ana for luncheon and El Centro for dinner. Voters should be warned. Think what the helicopters will mean to Navy Aviators Are Needed for Service Stating that recruitment of future Navy aviators continues, recruiters for the southern California area today listed qualifications for young men interested in the V-5 program. This program, Navy officials said, is one of the few that is being kept at the same level as before the termination of the war. Qualifications: Age—17 and 18-year-oldsters, provided no induction notice has been received; Education—high school graduate or will graduate before Oct. 1, this year; Mental—must pass appropriate tests; Physical — qualify for flight training as revenue, of which over $6,000,-000 was transferred to the use of the Fair and Exposition funds, the balance being placed in the general fund. That is reasonable to expect with the war over, revenue in the future would be enhanced and that the County Fairs will be able to function for the benefit of all the citizens of the state more efficiently from the funds derived from racing. The board also pointed out that the breeding of thoroughbred horses is increasing in the state of California and is growing by leaps and bounds and presently constitutes a very substantial industry. Funds from this sport are also used toward the state universities and schools. The board intends to strictly enforce all rules governing racing and betting and to therefore eliminate... Pickwick Hotel Cafe Burglarized Some time during the early morning of August 23, the Pickwick hotel cafe was burglarized, the owner, Catherine Diminuco, reported to the police and slightly more than $200 was missing from the till. Police investigation showed that the burglar had gained an easy entrance by pushing inward a window screen. A score of footprints were found leading from the window to a rear fence. It is thought the burglary occurred some time between 1 a.m. when the owner closed up and 3:30 a.m. when the chef came to work. Local Breeder Buys Registered Bull Another step was taken to raise the standard of his fine herd of Holstein-Friesian cattle recently when Keith Auman of Anaheim purchased a registered bull from the herd of George DeVries of Norwalk. Change of ownership for this animal, Sutton Oaks Bomber 87314, has been officially recorded by the Holstein-Friesian Association of America, with headquarters in Brattleboro, Vt. An announcement has come from the association stating that during 1944, 4,820 registry and transfer certificates were issued California breeders. The shortage of labor in the California citrus belt is being tightened by the arrival of men from the Island of Jamaica. This program, Navy officials said, is one of the few that is being kept at the same level as before the termination of the war. Qualifications: Age—17 and 18-year-oldsters, provided no induction notice has been received; Education—high school graduate or will graduate before Oct. 1, this year; Mental—must pass appropriate tests; Physical — qualify for flight training, which means 20/20 vision without glasses, 115 pounds weight minimum, 200 pounds maximum, between 5-feet 4-inches and 6-feet 4-inches in height, no dental or organic defects. Citizenship—a male citizen for at least ten years. Navy officials said that applicants should secure a certified copy of their birth certificate, a complete transcript of scholastic credits, parents' consent, two letters of recommendation and three photographs, then report to their nearest Navy recruiting station, the recruiting station for this district being located in Santa Ana. Loyd Wright Named Head Horse Racing Board at Meeting Commisisoner Loyd Wright was elected chairman of the California Horse Racing Board meeting held recently. The board had expected to defer election of a chairman until the vacancy recently created had been filled, but the necessity of having a chairman so that the business of the board could be more efficiently handled, made it imperative that one be elected at this time. In a study of the racing profession, it was found that the state had received over $8,215,000 A NEW NATIONAL HOLIDAY It may be a surprise to a lot of people, but this holiday-loving nation doesn't have a single national holiday! Christmas, New Year, Armistice Day, Fourth of July, Washington's and Lincoln's birthdays and all the rest are really legal holidays only in states which have made them so by legislative enactment. Congress declares holidays only for the District of Columbia. All the more reason, it would seem, for establishing a real national holiday, by whatever legal means are required, for celebrating the end of World War II with victory over Japan. It might be August 14, when Japan announced she was quitting, or the actual day of the peace signing—our official V-J Day. Whatever the day decided upon, Californians would be its most enthusiastic celebrants forevermore—for this state was in the forefront of the Pacific struggle from its catastrophic start to its victorious finish. Balinese are considered among the most expert rice growers in the Pacific.
