The storm broke when government efforts to pacify the rebellion peasants on Central Luzon failed. Fighting between the peasants and government forces is said to have reached sizable proportions. Backbone of the uprising are the Uukbalshap guerillas—themselves peasants—who demand land reforms for the poverty-stricken farmers. There have been some predictions that a full-fledged war between the "Huks" and the government would develop. Let us hope, however, that the Filipinos can settle their internal differences without subjecting their country to further violence. A-BOMB RESULTS Further studies of the results it crushed coral 100 feet below the surface of the lagoon indicates the wallop it carried. Then too, it seared everything within half a mile of the point where it exploded. Yes, the atomic bomb is not "just another weapon." STILL POURING IN Predictions made before the end of the war that California's population would go down at least temporarily after V-J Day seems rather silly now. It all goes to prove that even the most careful forecasts can miss by a mile. Present indications are that California will continue merrily on her way to the top spot in population among the 48 states. Whether it will take 5, 10, or 20 years to reach that goal is anybody's guess. But the Golden State has developed the habit of achieving objectives in shorter time than is generally believed possible. Outgoing Grand Jury Urges New TB Sanitarium With recommendations that new tuberculosis sanitarium be constructed at the county hospital, the 1945-46 Orange county grand jury ended its session one week, one that began last November and which was marked by bitter criticisms of county governmental agencies. The jurors were discharged Presiding Judge Kenneth E. Merrison after submitting commissions adopted by the total gross as their final report. The judge had been empaneled last fall Superior Judge Raymond Thompson. Recommendation for the construction of a new sanitary stemmed from the report of a special committee of doctors and berculosis association office which was instituted upon the existence of the grand jury. The report added however, recognition was given to the fact that the work might not besible in the near future because of construction conditions. Termed one "of the most active grand juries in the history of the county" by the district torney's office, the discha group were attributed with re-organization and improvement of the Orange County Hospital where the administration had condemned in a vitriolic report. In their final report on conditions at the hospital, the judge noted that considerable improvement had taken place under A-BOMB RESULTS Further studies of the results of the atomic bomb explosion at Bikini reveal that the blast "heard 'round the world" was anything but a "bust" as some persons seemed to think. Even though it was not as spectacular as its predecessors and did not create a complete catastrophe at Bikini, it left behind considerable evidence that it packed more than a "sissy" punch.

Whether it will take 5, 10, or 20 years to reach that goal is anybody's guess. But the Golden State has developed the habit of achieving objectives in shorter time than is generally believed possible. The swiftly rising volume of retail sales, the tremendous increase in public schools attendance, the growing demand for housing facilities—all these are barometers of population growth... The influx of new citizens is also shown in the statistics of the state's largest bank which serves nearly 300 communities in California. A year ago it had 3,000,000 customers. Today it has approximately 3,400,-000. That's an average gain of more than 1,000 new customers every day. Not all of these, of course, are from out of state, but the advertising done by this bank in the east as to the advantages of living in California undoubtedly accounts for many new arrivals as well as many new customers. As remarkable as the growth of our state has been in recent years there are many observers who believe that we "ain't seen nothin' yet." Could be. Only one public street, College avenue, crosses the Pomona College campus. Termed one "of the mostATIVE grand juries in the history of the county" by the district torney's office, the discha group were attributed with re-organization and improvement of the Orange County Hospital where the administration had condemned in a vitriolic report. In their final report on conditions at the hospital, the jurors noted that considerable improvement had taken place under new administration. The jurors however, said men's ward in the hospital still in poor condition and be overcrowded. In their final report, the jury suggested abolition of the post-county council, increases in agricultural department staff county wide, dog pond system placing of responsibility on tenants for juvenile delinquency, struction of a new juvenile high improvements in local jails and increase in traffic patrols. The next grand jury will convene next fall unless need a jury develops in the meant Superior Judge Franklin G. Will induct the next grand from a list of 30 county property owners who have already notified of their selection. Of that number, 19 will be designated to serve on the panel. Services Held For Cypress Boy Killed by Truck Funeral services were Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock the Hilgenfeld mortuary for a year-old William John Fullerton of 9341 Grindley street, Cypress who was killed instantly the California Highway Patrol report when he lost his grip while riding a ride on a hay truck slipped under the heavy wheels. The tragedy occurred a b from the boy's home, where Icel E. Whitchurch, 24, of Pomona driver of the truck, had delivered a load of hay to a customer. Young Fullerton is survived his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Fullerton of Cypress; three brothers, Edward and Elmer Fuller of Texas and Melvin Fullerton Cypress; two sisters, Ruth Lillian Fullerton both of Cypress parental grandparents, Mr. Mrs. E. J. Fullerton of Long Bay and maternal grandparents, and Mrs. R. A. Lieck of Plea We're spending $180,000,000 to keep up with Southern California's amazing growth From V-J Day through May 31, the number of telephones in service in Southern California has been increased by 106,000, of which 72,000 were added in the first five months of this year—an unequaled increase in any similar time period in the history of our company. Thousands of additional telephones are being installed each month. Still, there is a tremendous job to do because Southern California's present growth is more sensational than ever before. As one proof of it, telephone calls have increased by more than a million and a half a day. And the number of applicants for telephone service continues to grow about as fast as we are able to care for them by top-speed work. You may be certain that we are rushing to supply the necessary facilities to care for this unprecedented demand. In order to keep pace, we are hurrying construction on over 50 buildings, installing additional switchboards in practically every local exchange, stringing thousands of miles of wire, and securing vast quantities of new equipment. Your telephone is on the way; we'll get it so you as quickly as we can. Your sympathetic understanding is appreciated, and thank you for your patience. Southern California Telephone Company 217 North Lemon Telephone 2101 OUTGOING Grand Jury Urges New Sanitarium With recommendations that a tuberculosis sanitarium be constructed at the county hospital, the 1945-46 Orange county jury ended its session last one that began last November and which was marked better criticisms of county government agencies. The jurors were discharged by Judge Kenneth E. Morrison after submitting committee reports adopted by the total group their final report. The jury been empaneled last fall by Superior Judge Raymond H. Johnson. Recommendation for the condition of a new sanitarium opened from the report of a special committee of doctors and tuberculosis association officials was instituted upon the inception of the grand jury. The report added however, that mention was given to the fact the work might not be possible in the near future because instruction conditions are one "of the most acclaimed juries in the history of the county" by the district attorney's office, the discharged judge were attributed with the organization and improvement of the Orange County Hospital. The administration had been omitted in a vitriolic report. Their final report on condition at the hospital, the jurors that considerable improvement had taken place under the influence of California ports, Riesling, Chamberlin and many kinds of white wines, is superior to the corresponding brands of the foreign article. But the public at large can never be made to believe this, with their cost ruling so high as to act as a bar to their popularity. About 75 men are employed upon the San Joaquin ranch, near Santa Ana, in herding sheep, building fence, etc. They are aggregately paid about $1,000 per month. Irvine, Flint & Co. are now expending about $15,000 in improvements. We have been shown another splendid specimen of Barbary oats, the production of Col.-J. L. Strong at his ranch in La Bolsa Chica. The heads alone measure as high as twenty-three inches in length, and hang full of grain. This is a good showing for a country that is suffering from the combined plagues of drought and grasshoppers, and which is generally understood by outside barbarians to produce little else than cactus and horned toads. The coyotes are quite numerous at night in the vicinity of Anaheim, and they frequently make destructive raids upon poultry yards. Mr. John Hanna has received a new eighteen horse power machine with which to run his threshing machine, and is now doing big work. He will leave for Los Nietos next week. Oil Production Over 32 Million Barrels in County Orange county oil produced 32,722,983 barrels valued at 725,440 during the fiscal year 1945-46, was reported here day by County Assessor M. Enderle. Due to slant drilling beneath the Pacific ocean bed while state claims, a royalty of 2,248 barrels was contributed state. The Orange county oil production provides approximately sixth of the total county oil valuation of $245,022,070,000 said.

The Sunday Examiner prints a picture of Prof. Frantz and his ostrich in harness, but the professor has the bad luck to have all the glory showered upon a Denver man. Frantz trained the ostrich and sold it to the Denver chap, who is now reaping all the glory of the achievement.

July 28, 1921 East Center street has been lying dormant for the past two years, but it is awakening now and lively times are anticipated on that thoroughfare during the next year. Of course the most important of the new structures slated for East Center is the new city hall. After years of bickering, arguing and disputing the people finally voted $75,000 for a home for the city government, and work will begin on it as soon as the bonds are disposed of. It will stand at the corner of South Claudina and Center, where the old city hall and the Hart building now stand. Seventy-five thousand dollars will build a beautiful structure, especially as the brick in the two old buildings will be used in it. No bids being received on either the $20,000 bond issue for the Bay City school district or the $25,000 issue of the Yorba school district at the last regular meeting of the board of supervisors, the date for receiving bids has been advanced to next Tuesday.

Renner and family returned several days ago from an extended motor trip into the north which took them as far as the state of Washington. They had an enjoyable trip and saw many interesting sights, but Mr. Renner thinks that none of the sections visited average up with southern California. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams returned from their trip to the Paschall ranch at Bakersfield several days ago, bringing with them Mrs. Annie Adams, mother of Mr. Adams. Miss Frances Adams and Sam Adams who have been sojourning at the ranch for several weeks past came home with them.

But Herrmann—now the number 1 man of the ex-super-race—was only kidding, so it appears. Even while he spoke disdainfully of our productive capacity he was secretly planning to send millions of his own "hard-carned" money to the United States. Well, anyway, Herrman knew a good investment when he saw it. CIVIL SERVICE SEEKS LIBRARIANS The U.S. Civil Service Commission in Washington, D.
