Anaheim Pair To Fly to Old Norway Home After Absence of 24 Years With his trip planned to the last detail and transportation arranged for, Aksel Oas who has owned and operated the Anaheim Machine Works for the past 13 years, will leave June 24 for a visit at his old home in Norway. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Oas and their daughter, Miss Emilie Oas. For Mr. and Mrs. Oas it will be their first visit to Europe in 24 years. But for Miss Oas it will be a return only to a part of the spots she visited as a Red Cross director of entertainment during World War II. Their schedule calls for their leaving Los Angeles municipal airport on an American Airlines plane at 7 p.m. and their arrival at LaGuardia field, New York, at 8 o'clock next morning. Seven hours later they will take an American Airlines plane for Oslo where they are scheduled to arrive the following afternoon. From Oslo's airport it is only 30 miles to Oas' old home at Raufoss where he has a brother and sister. But it is 300 miles more to the former home of Mrs. Oas at Molde where her mother and a brother still live. The Oases plan to spend three months away from home and hope to visit a large part of north-western Europe, including Stockholm, Copenhagen, two small towns in Germany and Paris. The plane on which the party will fly from New York to Oslo and back will follow a route well north of Scotland which, according to the Scandinavians, was followed by Eris, the Red, when he discovered America long before Columbus.

A comparison of the two crops through the nation over a given period, shows a gain in flax over wheat. While average per acre for flax was only a little less than half that for wheat, average prices per bushel of flax derived by farmers double those for wheat. Over this period, the returns per acre for flax is slightly more than for wheat, based on national average prices received on March 15 and 28 average yields, gross returns each acre of wheat would aver- $41.96, as compared to $76.70 flax. Support prices will be in effect both wheat and flax for 1947. The minimum price for flax has already been announced by the department of Agriculture. This price is based on $6 a bushel at neapolis. The minimum price farmers will be this figure for freight costs, transportation costs, and handling charges. The short prices will be maintained commodity loans to producers, extracts with processors and, in necessary, by purchases.

She was 15 years of age and was born in Bastrop, VA Urgest Vets To Reinstate G-I Insurance “If every veteran’s wife knew what every veteran’s widow knows.” This is the slogan adopted for “G-I Insurance Week.” May 5 - 10, L. G. Chapman, manager of the Los Angeles Veterans Administration regional office, has announced. “During ‘G.I. Insurance Week’ every effort will be made to reach the estimated 400,000 World War II veterans in this area who have allowed their National Service Life Insurance policies to lapse,” Chapman said. “It is not the purpose of the VA to sell insurance but rather to give veterans the facts with reference to this benefit which means so much to them, their dependents, and the communities in which they live.” Chapman emphasized the importance of G-I insurance to the entire population of the area. Lapsed policies means lost security for veterans; lost education and other benefits for their children; lost protection for their wives and other dependents; and lost wealth to the communities in which they live, Chapman said. “G-I Insurance Week” is a part of the VA’s nationwide information campaign to acquaint veterans with their insurance benefits and to inform them of the liberal reinstatement policy effective until August 1 of this year. Until that date a veteran may reinstate upon a statement he is in as good health now as he was when the policy lapsed. After August 1 thousands of veterans tions in the Los Angeles have been invited to participate in the campaign, Chapman. Vet New Owner Of Ledbetter’s A. D.

This amount is five times our 1946 earn. It would make our payroll alone large all the money we took in last year. PUBLIC HEARING ON WALNUTS A public hearing to consider amendments to the federal marking agreement and order regulating the handling of walnuts grown in California, Oregon and Washington will be held April 28 in San Francisco. Seventeen amendments proposed by the Walnut Control Board will be considered. These amendments will not alter the scope or general operating procedure of the marketing agreement program, which has been in effect since 1935. The agreement and order were suspended under wartime conditions in 1943, but were reinstated on April 1, 1947. Major amendments to be considered include provisions for fixing the surplus percentage of merchantable walnuts each year by the Secretary of Agriculture after consideration of recommendations from the Control Board with subantiating data from the board; for elimination of park specifications as a part of the agreement and order; for prescribing peak specifications and minimum requirements for merchantable walnuts by the board, subject to the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture; and for collection of assessments for administering the order in years when a surplus percentage may not be fixed.

What other benefits do employees get? Among other extra advantages are paid vacations up to three weeks depending on length of service—holidays with pay—sickness and death benefits—pensions—good working conditions. And telephone work is steady work—the kind a person can count on. 6. Why can't the company agree to union demands? Wages and other costs of service are paid by the people who use the telephone. We can't give blanket agreement to the union's huge demands because we cannot justify them to our customers who pay the bill. 7. How has the company tried to end the strike? 6.

We can't give blanket agreement to the union's huge demands because we cannot justify them to our customers who pay the bill. 7. How has the company tried to end the strike? We wanted to extend the liberal working contracts while bargaining continued. But the unions refused. We repeatedly offered to submit the wage question—the basic issue—to arbitration. But the unions continue to refuse. We have offered the unions a practical plan to settle the strike—a plan that is fair equally to our employees, investors and customers. 8. When will the strike be over? We don't know. But we believe that no matter how long the strike lasts, it is in the public interest to face it rather than to capitulate to the unions' huge demands which would require large increases in telephone rates. Meanwhile we will continue to do our best to handle your calls. Calls from dial to dial telephones, which make up the bulk of calls in many cities, are completed without interruption. Many calls which require the service of an operator are also being completed. Many telephone company people are working days and nights on strenuous shifts to keep service going. They have been joined by many others who put the public interest first. We appreciate this loyalty. We wish to thank the public for their helpful cooperation during this troublesome period.
