Army Enlists 29 More County Men The regular army enlisted 29 more Orange county men during the month of August at the local recruiting office, room 109 city hall, Fullerton. Many of these men have signed up in order to take advantage of the higher education which will be given to them free of charge by the government under the GI Bill of Rights. The bill expires on October 5, so all men who enlist after that date cannot claim rights according to the statements contained in it; but right on up to the closing gun, any man who enlists will be entitled to every advantage offered on the day of his honorable discharge from the service. The regular army offers a chance for travel, training in technical fields and good pay along with free eats, clothes and sleeping quarters. A vast irrigation system for bringing water from the Grand Coulee reservoir on the Columbia river to 400,000 acres of sagebrush lands in Washington will be constructed this year. Southern Pacific Gets 1700 New Freight Cars A. T. Mercier, president of the Southern Pacific railroad, revealed today that more than 1,700 new freight cars were delivered to the company during August, providing a substantial boost toward relieving the nation-wide car shortage. The government banned virtually all rail car construction during the war, Mercier pointed out, and since VJ day, the building of new equipment has been further delayed by material shortages and reconversion difficulties of manufacturers. Deliveries of new freight cars to Southern Pacific in August were the heaviest to date. "The shortage of railroad cars is a nation-wide part of the general post war shortage picture, which includes automobiles, refrigerators, nylons and practically all other manufactured items. Each class of shipper has felt the pinch; farmers, lumbermen and manufacturers," said Mercier. "In Western territory the demand for peace time transportation has been greatly increased by the tremendous war-born growth of industry, the bumper crops and a gain of almost three millions in population in the last five years," he explained. "A variety of factories have combined," he stated, "to cause the freight car shortage. Many cars were out under the war traffic and could not be repaired at that time, nor has it been possible to replace them since the end of the war. Shippers have relaxed in many cases, from their war time effort to load cars to capacity. Most industries have returned to a five-day week, which means..."

Other artists to appear on the program, well known in the southland, include Larry Ward, Pacific coast champion; Bill A vast irrigation system for bringing water from the Grand Coulee reservoir on the Columbia river to 400,000 acres of sagebrush lands in Washington will be constructed this year.

Industries have returned to week, which means western rail lines is the hauling of crops to distant markets. The traffic flow has become predominantly eastbound, whereas, during the war it was mostly westbound. At present, westbound traffic received from connecting lines is 30 to 40 per cent less than a year ago; substantially reducing cars available for eastbound shipments, which are now as great or greater than the war-time volume. As with industry in general, the railroads during the war concentrated on military business, which car for car could be handled with less work, because whole train loads went to government installations. Cars handled now are divided among many industries. Mercier concluded, saying that "reconversion problems are common to all industry, and the change from war-time operations to peace-time has affected the entire economy and production machinery. This is also true of transportation and until it is possible to get more new freight cars and sufficient manpower to keep present rolling stock in constant Active Schedule Set for Knowland Visit to County U. S. Senator William Knowland has an action packed day of speeches, receptions and inspections, ahead of him which were outlined in preparation for his visit to the county on September 18. This will be his first visit here since his recent appointment by Governor Warren to succeed the late Hiram Johnson. Publisher L. H. Loudon of the Anaheim Bulletin opened his home to the Knowland committeemen last night, where they held a conference regarding the "know Knowland" day's schedule. His first program will be at 9:00 a.m. at a breakfast at Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach, where he will informally discuss national affairs at the early-morning reception.

McCollister Okays Greyhound Racing The state-supervised greyhound racing measure on the November ballot, Proposition 2, received endorsement this week of Richard H. McCollister, chairman of the Assembly Military Affairs committee, "because it guaranty adequate welfare services to millions and a half veterans in California." His endorsement is based on thorough study of the measure and on the fact that "$2,000 annually would be derived from a legitimate sports enterprise help finance a veteran-aid program that is currently being paid for entirely from tax funds," McCollister stated. "The guaranteed use of four percent of all greyhound wagers' veterans' welfare," said the assemblyman, "would enable the state to provide funds for veteran service officers in every county, help pay for service officers in veterans' organizations and insure adequate care for the increasing number of veterans at the State Veterans Home in Yountville." The importance of the work the state's rehabilitation service officers, who furnish expert advice and assistance to veterans obtaining what is rightfully due under the law, was stressed by McCollister. He said that a number of counties do not have such officers; the present time. He stated his hearty support for the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans in their campaign for Proposition 2. Proposition 3 Endorsed at P.-T. A. Conclave Propositions to come up in November elections are now Gus Schade Body Washed Ashore at Long Beach Thurs. Reportedly last seen by anyone in this city on or about August 17, the body of Gustav (Gus) Schade was found in the harbor at Long Beach last Thursday, September 5, according to word received here by the local police force. The body was found floating in the water and after examination, a verdict of suicide by drowning was given by a coroner, jury. Two dog collars were fastened around the left leg and a weight was still intact on the leg. It is problematical as to the length of time the body remained in the water, but it is believed it was there for three or four weeks. Reports are that Mr. Schade left Anaheim on August 17 for the harbor and took his row boat out of dock, apparently to go for a ride on the water, but having his 'date with death' in mind the whole time, since he is reported to have jokingly stated on several occasions that someday he was going to take a ride 'way out in the ocean and never come back.' It is further reported that his boat drifted in to shore on the 18th, the following day. Reports have also circulated that shortly before his disappearance, Mr. Schade had left an amount of money with a local citizen, however, this cannot be verified. Born in Germany August 18, 1865, Gus came to the United States in 1883 and had resided in Anaheim since 1891, coming here when the town was a small colony gaining its livelihood from grapes and the several wineries in operation at that time. During these many years he has been a familiar Publisher L. H. Loudon of the Anaheim Bulletin opened his home to the Knowland committeemen last night, where they held a conference regarding the "know Knowland" day's schedule. His first program will be at 9:00 a.m. at a breakfast at Hotel Laguna in Laguna Beach, where he will informally discuss national affairs at the early-morning reception. His next tour will take him up the coast to the county harbor at Newport Beach, where he and his party will board a boat for a tour of the bay and make an inspection of its installations. He will confer there with city and county leaders regarding further harbor improvements and the prospects of locating the naval academy in this county. Moving to Santa Ana next, he will enjoy a luncheon at a combined meeting of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs at the Santa Ana Masonic Temple and, at 2:00 p.m., he and Mrs. Knowland will be guests of honor at a public reception and tea at the Yorba street, Tustin home of Mrs. Florence Stevens, chairman of the county's Pro-American committee. A private dinner will precede the Anaheim program, which is scheduled at 8:00 p.m. at the open-air bowl in the spacious city park. Leo Carrillo, noted motion picture star, will be master of ceremonies, with the Jose Arias orchestra supplying the music and entertainment. Mrs. Lelia Eastman, chairman of the county's Republican Central committee, and Publisher Ranald Fairbairn of the Orange Daily News, said that Congressman John Phillips of this district will be with Knowland for the day. Poultry Dept. Of Co. Farm Bureau Holds Meeting The Farm Bureau building in Orange was the scene of the season's first meeting of the poultry department of Orange County Farm Bureau last Tuesday night. The formation of a poultry meat marketing association as a subsidiary of the Southern California Poultrymen's Association was discussed. This is to be done for the purpose of providing a more direct marketing outlet for poultry meat. It is believed that such an organization would fill a need very keenly felt at the present time. He stated his hearty support for the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Disabled American Veterans in their campaign for Proposition 2. Proposition 3 Endorsed at P.-T. A. Conclave Propositions to come up in November elections are now under main topics for discussion at board of managers of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers meeting now being staged at the Palace hotel, San Francisco. The sessions began yesterday day and will conclude tonight Thursday.

During these many years he has been a familiar figure among the citizens of this city. For a few years after coming here he was associated with Joe des Granges who operated a grist mill. Later he operated a business of his own here followed by several years spent in Arizona prospecting. Returning to Anaheim he has, for the past several years, been assistant yard man and janitor at the Elks Club on North Los Angeles street. He was 81 years of age on Aug. 18 and his home was at 411 North Los Angeles street. Graveside rites were conducted by Rev. H. G.

The guaranteed use of four per cent of all greyhound wagers for owners' welfare," said the assembler, "would enable the state to provide funds for veteran service officers in every county, help our service officers in veterinary organizations and insure adequate care for the increasing number of veterans at the State Veterans Home in Yountville."

Motting Proposition No. 3. The defeat of Proposition 13 is being urged by the group.
