State Adjutant General Outlines Requirements of New State Guard Brig. Gen. Curtis D. O'Sullivan, state adjutant general, this week outlined requirements for appointments in the 40,000-man California National Guard now being activated. Enlisted men for the guard will be procured on a voluntary basis, the general said, and added special opportunities for advancement in rank are available to men and non-commissioned officers who served in World War II. The general cited the War Department's provision that warrant officers and enlisted men of the first three grades with war service, may be nominated for appointment as second lieutenants without attendance at officer candidate schools, but merely upon their wartime record. At the same time second lieutenants may be procured from among recent ROTC and OCS graduates. Age qualifications and physical and mental standards for the California National Guard will be the same as prescribed for the Regular Army. Army pay raises which went into effect July 1 will apply to all National Guard pay for attendance at drill nights, summer camps, and other periods of active duty, General O'Sullivan pointed out. In initial reorganization of the California National Guard the War Department requires that initial appointments of officers of rank of first lieutenant and above be limited to "those wartime officers who served honorably for six months subsequent to December 7, 1941."

You're probably one of the millions of people who discovered, during the war, that the Payroll Savings Plan was a practically painless way of saving money. Millions found, too, that, for the first time, they were able to save real amounts of money. That's a thing well worth remembering now, when it's so easy to spend recklessly. If you belong to the Payroll Savings Plan you couldn't have formed a better or wiser habit. And if you're smart you'll keep right on saving this painless, safe, and easy way. Whatever it is you want to do later on... take a long vacation... send the kids to college... buy yourself a real home—your Payroll Savings Plan will make it a whole lot easier for you, and those bonds will buy the worth-while things you've always wanted. And when those four dollars for every three start rolling in ten short years from now, you'll find that won't hurt a bit, either!

Only $360,450 was spent for highways and bridges in 1944-45 while the county budgeted $967,-945, claimed the association. County highways and bridges budgets totaled $43,909,811 over the state as a whole for 1945-46, nearly doubling the $22,778,108 spent in 1941-42. For 1944-45, the counties budgeted $33,267,280 for highways and bridges, but spent only $20,817,600. The gas tax and motor vehicle license taxes contribute a large part of the funds which counties spend on roads and bridges, according to the association, and most counties budget all the amount they expect to receive from the sources. In concluding the report, the association said, "with the counties receiving considerably more than they have been able to spend, great care is necessary on the part of local governing boards to see that amounts left over are worked into a long-time program for the improvement of the highway system." Retail Division Backs Coming Tax Conducted by James Kilduff, chairman last year, a host of new officers were elected at an organized meeting of the retail division of the city Chamber of Commerce at the Parker House Tuesday morning.

He explained that new improvements are needed and that the sewer overtaxed. Funds gathered by coming levy will aid greatly the correction and repair of sanitary facilities. The retail division agreed back this ordinance.

M. Cory, assistant farm advisor for Orange county, following preliminary tests conducted by the College of Agriculture in 1945. The investigation revealed use of DDT powder gives satisfactory control of the scale disease but Cory cautioned against excessive use of the wettable DDT spray mixture until agriculture investigators after more tests, come to definite conclusions concerning its use. Cory pointed out, present mixing formula for the solution calls for use of two pounds of powder to 100 gallons of water, a mixture which it is believed will not reach tolerance limits of the United States Food and Drug Act. During tests of the mixture only one pound of the finely divided wettable DDT to 100 gallons of water was used. The spray solution should be applied during July and August, it was reported. The powder should be wet and spread well for best results in control of citricola scale, Cory said, so as to leave a uniform deposit on the foliage, twigs and fruit to contact the young scale insects. Excessive wettings by the spray mixture generally results in a heavy run-off of the powder, lessening the efficiency of the kill and wasting the chemical, he said. Use of the DDT in solution in any grade of petroleum oil or other solvents, should not be used on citrus except on a limited experimental basis pending outcome of further tests by the agriculture college, Cory said. During the period September 15 to November 15, 1945, the New York City postoffice handled more than 48 million Christmas parcels that was sent over seas to American soldiers.
