Phillips Back To Washington for Congressional Work Congressman John Phillips of the 22nd District returned to Washington Saturday after receiving a telegram informing him that Congress would convene September 4 instead of October 8 as originally planned. Phillips had intended to be in his district for the month of September to contact numerous groups and obtain their views on proposed legislation, he stated. Having only five days at home, he met with several groups interested in specific legislation now before Congress.

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." A Lesson-Sermon citation from Matthew includes this account of healing by Jesus, "There was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? ... And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? ... Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says, "Inasmuch as God is good and the fount of all being, He does not produce moral or physical deformity; therefore such deformity is not real, but is illusion, the mirage of error. Divine Science reveals these grand facts. On their basis Jesus demonstrated Life, never fearing nor obeying error in any form." GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH Rev. Harold Knappe, pastor.

Phillips had intended to be in his district for the month of September to contact numerous groups and obtain their views on proposed legislation, he stated. Having only five days at home, he met with several groups interested in specific legislation now before Congress. Congressman Phillips put special emphasis on the necessity for individuals and spokesmen for groups to write their respective representatives in Congress, setting forth their reasons for legislation in which they are interested. "In this way, your representatives know how legislation would be applicable to the needs of the people in his district," Phillips advised. On the subject of peace plans, Phillips said, "That will be the first thing to come to the attention of the Congress, and the importance of making a just and durable peace is second only to winning the war." In commenting further on this important phase of legislation, Phillips pointed out, "There has rarely been a country fully prepared for war, and much more rarely, one prepared for peace", and added that, "We will need the same all-out determination on the part of the people to make a durable peace, as we had in winning the war." DDT Has Both Good And Bad Results Entomologists of the University of California have informed the Agricultural extension service that further investigations are needed to determine the extent to which the new insecticide DDT can be adapted to agricultural crops and pests. In all cases, University men conducting the experiments do not recommend the general use of DDT until further investigations are made to substantiate the findings. Results of the experiments so far indicate that DDT shows promise for control of lygus bugs on alfalfa seed crop, onion thrips, black scale on olives and codling moth on walnuts. Its use seems excellent for control of flies in dairy barns. On almond trees DDT should be used with caution. Sprayed trees suffered complete defoliation. As a vapo-spray or dry dust mixed with sulphur, the insecticide appeared effective against the grape leafhopper adults and nymphs. ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH L. E. Elfert, pastor.

Results of the experiments so far indicate that DDT shows promise for control of lygus bugs on alfalfa seed crop, onion thrips, black scale on olives and coddling moth on walnuts. Its use seems excellent for control of flies in dairy barns. On almond trees DDT should be used with caution. Sprayed trees suffered complete defoliation. As a vapo-spray or dry dust mixed with sulphur, the insecticide appeared effective against the grape leafhopper adults and nymphs. Used as vapo-sprays in controlling pea insects, different concentrations indicate the kill of pea aphids is proportional to the amount of DDT present. Higher concentrations were effective in reducing populations of a pre-daceous fly. DDT was effective in killing walnut aphid and predators. A spray controlled thrips and reduced spotted wilt in tomatoes but seriously damaged the plants.

Funeral Services Today for Oscar Knutsen, 78 Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon (Thursday) at 2 o'clock for Oscar Thomas Knutsen, 78, who passed away at the family home, 712 West Amridge street, Fullerton, early Saturday morning after an extended illness. The final rites will be held at the Hilgenfeld chapel with Rev. Harold J. Knappe, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church officiating. Burial will be made in Loma Vista Memorial park. The deceased was in business for more than 30 years in Wollongarra. Final Plans Made For County War Chest Drive Here Anaheim representatives attended the meeting of the Orange county Community War Chest held at the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A. last Thursday night and at that time final plans for launching the 1945-46 fall campaign were completed. Key leaders of every town in the county were present, according to Orlyn N. Robertson, county chairman. Joe Catijnch, representing the California War Chest, was present and stated that the funds raised this year would be stretched over 15 months or until the end of 1946 at which time the War Chest would finally be liquidated. Mademoiselle Angeles, a nurse in France during the war years and also active in the French underground, was the guest speaker and described conditions in France and allied countries occupied by the Germans and told of the continued needs for the USO, War Prisoners Aid and relief to the civilian population of the Allied Nations. Robertson stressed the need for thorough organization in this year's financial drive in order to meet the combined county goal of local home front agencies and services to our armed forces which will approximate $275,000 in Orange county this year. County campaign coordinator, Hugh M. Wilcox, outlined the method of campaign organization to insure success and distributed supplies to the various communities. Released Civilian War Prisoners to Get Extra Red Points American civilians arriving in this country from enemy prison camps may receive, with the approval of the deputy administrator for rationing, 100 extra red points for meats, fats, fish and cheese, the office of price administration said today. Repatriates also will receive the last sugar stamp. Issuance of the rations, in war ration book four, will be handled by designated war price and rationing boards at the poris where the ships land the former internees. Most repatriates liberated from Japanese infestment camps, however, are suffering from serious dietary deficiencies and malnutrition, and would be eligible for supplemental meat-fats points under special provisions made for persons in poor health. Today's action permits the designated boards, after obtaining the approval of the deputy administrator for rationing, to issue to released internees war ration book four containing the last three valid series of meat-fats stamps, which include the present ration of 50 points for one month and two months extra rations, a total of 150 red points: This new provision will help both repatriates and their local boards, since it will remove the necessity for individual issuance of extra meat-fats points; in most cases. Only one currently valid sugar stamp will be left in the book, because the previously validated sugar stamp expires when the new stamp becomes good, and it would be impossible to issue already ex- Unintended of October 8 planned. In the month of September, contact numerous individuals on the website he stated. Five days at home, several groups intermittent legislation now exists. Phillips put speeches on the necessity for and spokesmen for write their respective issues in Congress, set their reasons for legislation they are interested in way, your repretoire how legislation applicable to the needs in his district," Phillips wrote. "That will be the come to the attention congress, and the immaking a just and second only to war". In commentation on this important legislation, Phillips wrote: "There has rarely fully prepared for much more rarely, one peace" and added that the same alliances on the part of DDT make a durable had in winning the project of peace plans. Both Good Results Tests of the University have informed the extension service investigations are determine the extent to new insecticide DDT applied to agricultural crops.

Funeral services will be conducted this afternoon (Thursday) at 2 o'clock for Oscar Thomas Knutsen, 78, who passed away at the family home, 712 West Amridge street, Fullerton, early Saturday morning after an extended illness. The final rites will be held at the Hilgenfeld chapel with Rev. Harold J. Knappe, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church officiating. Burial will be made in Loma Vista Memorial park. The deceased was in business for more than 30 years in Wolford, North Dakota, but had been a resident of California for the past year and had made his home in Fullerton during the last six months. He was a member of the Norwegian Lutheran church, Masonic lodge No. 65 of Rugby, North Dakota, the Odd Fellows lodge and the Shrine lodge. He is survived by his widow, Clare Knutsen; one daughter, Mrs. C. C. Guss, and one son, Allen C. Knutsen, both of Anaheim; three brothers, Martin, Charles and Edward Knutsen, all of Minnesota; two sisters, Mrs. A. C. Torgerson of Minnesota and Mrs. Edward Thompson of North Dakota; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Waste Fats Need Remains Critical Collections of waste kitchen fats in rural areas and in cities are to be accelerated to offset the most serious fats and oils shortage in this country's history. A telegram just received from Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson says in part: "V-J" day still leaves us alarmingly short of fats and oils. Because we will continue to be seriously short of these essential commodities for many months to come, it is just as important now as during the war to save every bit of used fat." The careful saving of kitchen fats and, on the farms, fats salvaged from farm slaughter, was a patriotic chore during war times but it is equally important during the industrial reconversion and change-over from war to peace-time economy. Housewives are admonished to get full value from the additional meat supplies, promised for this fall, but to continue to scrape, scoop and skim every drop of used fat for salvage. Frank S. Balthis, Jr., OPA Head, Resigns Frank S. Balthis, Jr., OPA district director today announced his Nations. Robertson stressed the need for thorough organization in this year's financial drive in order to meet the combined county goal of local home front agencies and services to our armed forces which will approximate $275,000 in Orange county this year. County campaign coordinator, Hugh M. Wilcox outlined the method of campaign organization to insure success, and distributed supplies to the various community chairmen. Present from Anaheim were Edward J. Power, local campaign chairman, Miss Kiebert and City Clerk Charles Griffith. Former Resident Dies August 28 At Encinitas Merle William Doty of Encinitas, Calif., a former resident of Anaheim and vicinity for many years, died at his home Aug. 28 following a tragic accident, and funeral services were held for him at Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars chapel Tuesday afternoon, with Rev. Thomas L. Burden of Los Angeles, formerly of the White Temple Methodist church, officiating. Interment followed in the Anaheim cemetery. The deceased was born on Aug. 4, 1880, in Nebraska. He is survived by his wife, Frieda, of Encinitas; two daughters, Mrs. Beatrice Troxel of Sargent, Neb., and Mrs. Hyacinth Isenhart of Washington; three sons, Robert and Howard Doty of the armed forces, and Ernest Doty of Sargent, Neb.; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William E. Renner of Anaheim; two brothers, Jack and Henry Doty of Anaheim; and three sisters, Mrs. Hazel Wykoff and Mrs. Jennie Wieman of Sargent, Neb., and Mrs. Faye Cross of Rio Del, Calif. Sharp Reduction In Red Point Values Housewives will be able to buy substantially more meat, cheese, butter and margarine per ration coupon and will relinquish no points in exchange for canned milk during the rationing period which began Sept. 2 and will end Sept 29, the OPA announced today. With an average decrease of about 29 per cent in the point value of meats, both housewives and restaurants will find their supply of red points will buy more two months extra rations, a total of 150 red points: This new provision will help both repatriates and their local boards since it will remove the necessity for individual issuance of extra meat-fats points; in most cases. Only one currently valid sugar stamp will be left in the book because the previously validated sugar stamp expires when the new stamp becomes good, and it would be impossible to issue already expired stamps to be released internees. These persons may apply, however, for extra sugar allowances if the state of their health requires it. Forest Fires Burn Needed Materials Wood in sufficient quantity to manufacture 5,700,000 tons of newsprint, or to build 215,000 five-room homes is destroyed annually in the United States by forest and wood fires, officials of the U.S. Forest Service said in announcing start of the 1945 nation-wide wartime fire prevention program. The program conducted at the request of the nation's armed forces by state forestry and conservation agencies and the American Red Cross in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, will be under the guidance in this locality of S.B. Show at San Francisco headquarters of the U.S. Forest Service. Because wood in huge quantities is still needed for critical war items, special emphasis is being placed on the part individual citizens are being asked to take in the campaign to reduce the more than 200,000 fires that ravage the nation's forests, woodland, and ranges each year. "Annual fires still burn more than 40 times as many acres as there are in Yosemite National park, or more than there are in all of New York state," he pointed out. "In view of the emergency shortage of manpower in our agricultural and munitions industries, and since forest fires require almost 1,000,000 man-days of fire fighting labor, it should be evident that the assistance of every person is needed to help halt this annual loss." Thirty per cent of all man-made fires are caused by careless or thoughtless smokers and campers, and 40 per cent are "intentionally set" for such purposes as clearing plowland, burning off ferns, weeds, logging slash, brush or debris. And although many of these latter results... Frank S. Balthis, Jr., OPA Head, Resigns Frank S. Balthis, Jr., OPA district director, today announced his resignation, effective Oct. 1. He said his successor probably would be named soon. Balthis' first position with the OPA was a chief attorney. At that time—March, 1942—the entire staff numbered a scant half dozen. In September, 1943, Balthis was appointed top OPA executive in the district, with eight southern California counties under his jurisdiction. At the war's peak the OPA's district personnel totaled 1700 paid employees with hundreds more on a voluntary basis. Gasoline rationing—in southern California a particularly difficult task because of the fact that this area is "built around the automobile"—was one of the major programs successfully carried through under Balthis' administration. Inauguration of local board price panels to investigate and correct price violations in the community was another program which Balthis' administration can take credit for. A native of Missouri, Balthis came to California 40 years ago and has lived in Glendale since then. He attended Glendale high school, University of California at Los Angeles and received his degree from Harvard law school. He was with the law firm of O'Melveny and Myers from 1929 to 1937, following which he conducted a private law practice until going with the OPA in 1942. Housewives will be able to buy substantially more meat, cheese, butter and margarine per ration coupon and will relinquish no points in exchange for canned milk during the rationing period which began Sept. 2 and will end Sept 29, the OPA announced today. With an average decrease of about 29 per cent in the point value of meats, both housewives and restaurants will find their supply of red points will buy more meat than at any time during the period of extreme scarcity which began in March and continued through the spring and summer months. The reductions are the result of larger allocations by the department of agriculture and improved distribution. The supply picture was much better in everything but fats and oils, which continue to be scarce and with no indications of an early improvement. Steaks and roasts will be from two to three points less a pound; hamburger will be a two-point per pound bargain, down from four, and reductions for cuts of lamb and veal range from two to three points. Pork steaks, chops and roasts are down one to two points; all bacon is down two points, and spareribs down three points. Nearly all meats that now have a value of two or three points a pound are reduced one point. The new point value for creamery butter is 12 points a pound, the four point reduction being made because with firm supply prospects OPA believes that good distribution can be continued with the lower point value. The department of agriculture's allocation of creamery butter is the same as for August. Margarine is down from 14 to 12 points a pound as the result of better distribution. Thirty per cent of all man-made fires are caused by careless or thoughtless smokers and campers, and 40 per cent are "intentionally set" for such purposes as clearing plowland, burning off ferns, weeds, logging slash, brush or debris. And although many of these latter fires are begun lawfully, most of them get out of hand because of ignorance or carelessness, according to statistics compiled by the U.S. Forest Service. "Carelessness with forest and woods fires might therefore be classed as sabotage of the war effort," Mr. Show said. "To illustrate the importance of forests in our program, it is noted that 120,000,000 tons of wood were used in 1942, as compared with an estimated 100,000,000 tons of steel; that every naval vessel from the largest battleship to the small mine sweeper depends on wood." Two Couples Have Sons on Aug. 30 The city's population was increased by two on Aug. 30 when boys were born in Fullerton hospital pitals to two Anaheim couples. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dozier route 1, box 338, Anaheim, became the parents of one of the boys. He was born at Fullerton General hospital and weighed pounds, 14½ ounces. The other son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Davis Munsey of 81 East Sycamore street at the Fullerton Cottage hospital. A Liberty ship can carry a amount of cargo equal to four trains of 75 cars each.

Several weeks ago the city of Anaheim extended an invitation to the St. Louis Browns to use La Palma park for its spring training program and now Connie Mack of Philadelphia has wired to ask if the grounds would be available for his Athletics. The Athletics trained here in 1939-40-41 and it was understood that they expected to train in the south during the 1946 season. Now it is reported that the Fullerton chamber of commerce is preparing to invite the team to condition in Amerige park and at the same time Anaheim city officials are pressing the Browns for an immediate answer so that Connie Mack’s team can be invited if the Browns decide not to come here. Anyway it looks like Anaheim will be in the baseball spotlight news in 1946. Beach Shipyard To Manufacture Children’s Toys The swing over from war time economy to peacetime reconversion is emphasized in Newport Beach where the Peyton Co shin- MWD Charges From Taxes Up For the Year For constituent cities that elect to pay their Metropolitan Water District charges from taxes rather than from municipal water or electric earnings, the district tax rate for 1945-46 will be 50 cents per $108.00 of assessed valuation. Cancellation of contracts under which the Metropolitan Water District had for the past several years been selling surplus Boulder Dam power to war production contractors made necessary an increase of 2 cents in the new tax rate over the 48 cents rate that has been in effect for the past three years. A large block of Boulder Dam power which the Metropolitan Water District is required to pay for whether used or not, was sold during most of the war period. Eventually all of the Boulder-Dam power which the Metropolitan Water District is required to pay for will be used in the operation of pumping plants on the Colorado River Aqueduct. Pending a need for all the power, the district is now negotiating with various public and private agencies for resale of this surplus energy. Cities within the Metropolitan Water District are not required to meet the 50 cent levy from taxes. Actually, two district cities, Glendale and Pasadena, are paying all such charges from water and electric revenues and without any tax charge against its people. Two other district cities, Compton and Burbank, are paying about one-half the levy from water revenues and the balance from taxes. Other cities and areas within Beach Shipyard To Manufacture Children's Toys The swing over from war time economy to peacetime reconversion is emphasized in Newport Beach where the Peyton Co. shipyard, producing sub-chasers, aircraft rescue boats and tugs for the Army, is preparing a streamlined assembly system for the production of children's toys. Charles R. Peyton, president and general manager of "Toyville", states that he has purchased all stock and machinery as well as the brand name of Mayor Clyan Hall's Sturditoy factory. The raw material will be brought into one end of the long structure and will emerge from the other end as a finished product after having passed through a long line of many types of saws and shapers and through sanding and painting systems. A show-room has just been completed beside the shipyard. Death Claims Mary T. Balling On Tuesday Mary T. Balling, 80, passed away at her home at 412 South Palm street, Tuesday, after having lived in Anaheim for the past two years. She was born in Wisconsin. Surviving her are two daughters, Mrs. Charles T. Hutain, with whom she deceased made her home, and Mrs. Pete Hutain, both of Anaheim; two sons, Joseph of Heron Lake, Minn., and Louis of Windon, Minn.; two brothers, Stephen and Henry Rehnelt of Minnesota; 27 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. The remains are being shipped to the family plot in Heron, Minn., with Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars making the arrangements. Approximately 88,000,000 motor vehicles, including cars and trucks, have been produced in the United States in the past 45 years. New York City householders waste 2,000 tons of waste paper a week by mixing it with garbage or burning it. Cities within the Metropolitan Water District are not required to meet the 50 cent levy from taxes. Actually, two district cities, Glendale and Pasadena, are paying all such charges from water and electric revenues and without any tax charge against its people. Two other district cities, Compton and Burbank, are paying about one-half the levy from water revenues and the balance from taxes. Other cities and areas within the Metropolitan Water District are Los Angeles, San Marino, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Torrance, Long Beach, Santa Ana, Fullerton, Anaheim and the Coastal Municipal Water District. Funeral Services Held for Mrs. Sally Ricon, 27 Mass was read last Saturday morning at the Catholic church in Colonial Independencia for Mrs. Sally Ricon, 27, who passed away at an Orange hospital, Aug. 29, after an extended illness.
