Army Recruits May Attend School of Choice Under the Voluntary Recruitment Act of 1945, the GI Bill of Rights benefits have been extended so that the veteran can obtain a full college, trade or business school education at government expense (value—$5,120) after serving three interesting years in the new peacetime regular army. Congress has extended the unprecedented provisions of the GI Bill of Rights to include any young man who enlists in the regular army before October 6, 1946. Enlistments are open to men aged 17 to 34, and may be for one and a half, two or three years. At the end of his enlistment, the honorably discharged soldier is entitled to a period of education or training based on the length of his service—all at government expense. Specifically, he received one year's education plus as many additional months as he has spent in the service. A three-year enlistment, for example, amounts to one year plus 36 months—or a total of 48 months education—enough to complete a full college course with expenses paid every month for four years. In terms of money, the government pays tuition up to $500 per ordinary school year, plus a monthly allowance of $65 for living expenses—or $90 if the student has dependents. For a single man, this amounts to as high as $5,120; $6,700 if he has dependents. All of this is in addition to the regular army pay and allowances he receives while in the service, much of which he can save. The soldier who spends three interim years in the peacetime 20-30 Officer Candidates Named Election Monday Amidst violent filibustering, the nominations for 20-30 club candidates for officer positions were completed during the regular dinner meeting last Monday evening at Mother's Kitchen with Chuck Chandler and Everett Davis vying for the presidential chair. Other candidates chosen include Abe Sowder, and Pete Jacobs, for the position of vice-president; Reese Baker, Doy Ford and Alton Morris for treasurer, and Burl Gist and Harry Hoskins for treasurer. Elections will be held next Monday evening. David Hellyer was main speaker of the evening, presenting a vivid description of spear fishing and deep sea diving. More than half of the raffle tickets for the southern California district education meeting at Pinecrest, June 8 and 9, have been sold, President Bruce Cook said. About 12 couples from Anaheim are expected to attend the annual affair. The 20-30 club has entered in the city's eight-team soft ball league. The season opens next week under the supervision of Victor Ruedy, La Palma park superintendent. FARM HEADS URGES WINDBREAK CARE More than 1,000 miles of windbreaks have been planted in Orange county, Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg reported last week. Wahlberg declared windbreaks are too often neglected, pointing out they were of definite asset to the economy of citrus production in areas susceptible to wind damage. "The windbreak row should receive as good care as any tree row in the orchard," he said, "because ment pays tuition up to $500 per ordinary school year, plus a monthly allowance of $65 for living expenses—or $90 if the student has dependents. For a single man, this amounts to as high as $5,120; $6,700 if he has dependents. All of this is in addition to the regular army pay and allowances he receives while in the service, much of which he can save. The soldier who spends three interim years in the peacetime army also will find many unusual opportunities to further his education, since the army, itself, is a large and diversified educational institution. Thorough training in one or more of 200 different trades and skills is open to every soldier. No military force in history ever used more scientific developments—in chemistry, radar, television, electronics, aviation and physics. In his spare time, the soldier also has his choice of more than 200 free correspondence courses ranging from business law to Shakespeare, or he can enroll in an equally wide range of subjects in self-study courses. Boys who enlist now, are urged to discuss their future school plans with their teachers. If they plan to go to a college which requires an entrance examination, the examination should be taken now, while high school studies are fresh in mind. In this way, many future disappointments can be avoided. Information on this program may be obtained at the U. S. Army Recruiting Service in room 109 city hall, Fullerton. Housewives, More Canning Sugar, Washington Says Housewives can plan for another few extra quarts of canned fruits this year if present plans in Washington mature. On Monday the report was issued to the various press agencies that a larger allowance of sugar for home canning will be made, over and above the present ration of 15 pounds per person per year, for normal consumption. The report stated that civilian sugar supplies this year will be 341,000 tons larger than the 1945 total, but (and there is always one of these "things" to a report) this year's 5,433,000 ton allocation for civilian consumption will have to cover the "greatly increased various press agencies that a larger allowance of sugar for home canning will be made, over and above the present ration of 15 pounds per person per year, for normal consumption. The report stated that civilian sugar supplies this year will be 341,000 tons larger than the 1945 total, but (and there is always one of these "things" to a report) this year's 5,433,000 ton allocation for civilian consumption will have to cover the "greatly increased industrial sugar ration and the addition of 8,000,000 veterans to the number of civilian users." The Department of Commerce stated that a 20 per cent increase in acreage devoted to the sugar beet crops in this country would furnish the chief addition to this years supply. It was also reported that the imports from Cuba would be down by about 1,000,000 tons over the supply of 1945 from that source. City Park Scene Of I.O.O.F.

PERSONALS An informal family day was enjoyed at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben TerBeest on West Ball road when the TerBeest's two sons, and their families, Mr. and Mrs. Elwood TerBeest and their son of Midway city and Mr. and Mrs. Marvin TerBeest and their family of Inglowood, visited here last Sunday. Government Asks New Address of Soldier Dead Kin Kin of veterans who were notified of their death overseas were this week urged to notify the military service to which the deceased belonged, if they have changed their address since receiving notice of the death. Notice of the request was made public by Colonel James M. Byron, commanding officer, Mrs. Mira Loma, quartermaster depot at Mira Loma, Calif. The War Department's request for present addresses of next of kin, was also made in behalf of the Navy Department, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Red Cross and War Shipping Administration. Within the next few weeks the War Department will mail to next of kin of deceased personnel now buried overseas, a letter requesting information regarding their wishes for final burial. Similar letters will be mailed by the other branches of service, including the two civilian agencies. Change of residence without notification to the proper agency may cause serious delay in the removal of remains from foreign countries, Colonel Byron said.

The Orange County Cowtesting Association reported 32 herds tested in March had an average of 39.1 BF as compared to the same period last year when they averaged 40.1 pounds. Average test was 3.65 pounds with 239 cows culled. Demand for the few remaining navel oranges in Los Angeles county citrus areas exceeded the supply as the season wound up in April. The crop pack-out fell under estimates through failure of the fruit to size. Valencia pack started about mid-May. Sizes are again small. Valencia season opened in mid- April in San Diego county with the second largest crop on record in prospect. Frost damage throughout the county was light though fruit is smaller with average sizes running to 252's and 288's. Lemons are moving rapidly; grapefruit is small; lime crop is light. The agriculture commissioner in Los Angeles county reported recently there was no frost damage this year to deciduous fruits there. He termed yield prospects as excellent. Kern county potato growers early in May inaugurated the practice of prorating available reefers due to the acute shortage of refrigerator cars. The greatest length of Virginia is along its southern boundary line and is about 440 miles. Its greatest breadth from north to south is 192 miles; its area is 42,500 square miles, of which 2,325 are water. For Your Electrical Work —Anything Electrical— Phone 4621 JOSEPH A.
