Lampton, director of motor vehicles. A $3 registration fee boost was made by the 1947 Legislature subsequent to the time the 1948 fees were entered in the lower left hand corner of the registration card (white slip). Hence, all such entries are incorrect. Motorcycle, trailer and commercial vehicle owners will receive notice of the correct amount of their fees under the department's registration mechanization program but passenger vehicle owners requesting renewal by mail will have to figure their own. Renewal applicants who call at branch offices or other license tab distributing agencies in person will have their correct fees computed for them. Lampton said it would not be possible to send the advance notices of fees due, termed potential registration cards, to private passenger car owners this year. However, their renewals will be handled by that means in 1949. Passenger car owners asking renewal by mail in 1948 should ascertain the fee entered in the lower left hand corner of their registration card (white slip), add $3 thereto, then bring the amount to the nearest even dollar. That amount will be their fee. The minimum vehicle license fee has been set at $1 for 1948. Since the registration fee will be $6, the least it will cost to register and license a vehicle is $7.

G. Neumann, respective pastors of the two churches. Dr. Moon is pictured demonstrating the Barkhausen effect, by which the audience is able to hear the movement of groups of molecules within a magnetized steel bar. “God of the Atom” points out that the discovery of atomic energy has brought man's consciousness of religion more sharply into focus. The problem, Dr. Moon declares, is not what man has but what man is. “Our trouble in the world has never been due to the fact that we've had swords, or guns or gunpowder, or tanks, or airplanes, or even atomic bombs,” says Dr. Moon. “Take all these things from the world and men will beat each other to death with their bare fists!” He believes there is only one solution to the problem—a personal relationship to God.

Larry Johnston, a young physicist who aided in atomic development at Los Alamos and photographed all three wartime bombs as they exploded, appears in the film with an eye-witness account of his experiences. “Man needs the kind of help which, in my experience, only God can give,” says the scientist, adding, “For me, this is no academic statement, but an experimental truth!” “God of the Atom” is second in a series of religious-scientific films produced in the laboratories of the Moody Institute of Science, a branch of the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.

County Own One First T In 48 Years Orange county thou has the lowest Dangers in Granting Arizona Claim For More Colorado Water Pointed Out Endless raiding of the water rights of operating and authorized projects would follow the granting of Arizona’s claim to additional water from the Colorado river, according to Ben P. Griffith, secretary of the Colorado River Association. “One of the dangerous by-products of Arizona’s attempt to push through Congress a bill authorizing the expenditure of approximately $1,000,000,000 for the construction of the so-called Central Arizona Irrigation Project is that it would open the door to similar attempts all along the line,” said Griffith. It is this danger which is one of the considerations prompting the association to press for Supreme Court adjudication of the Arizona-California water controversy, Griffith pointed out. “Once the Supreme Court has made a decision the issue will be settled,” he asserted. “This is the only legitimate solution.” During the closing days of the last session of Congress, he explained, resolutions referring the dispute to the Supreme Court were introduced in the House and the Senate. This move was made necessary because Congress is required to vote assent to a Supreme Court suit whenever, as in this case, the United States is a necessary party. “Adjudication by the Supreme Court was sought only after all other attempts at finding a solution had failed,” declared Griffith. “Governor Osborn, of Arizona, has steadfastly refused either negotiation, arbitration, or litigation. He has spurned all such offers made to him by Governors Warren, of California, and Pittman, of Nevada.” EBELL BIBLE SECTION TO MEET MONDAY Members of the Anaheim Ebell Bible section will gather for the regular meeting next Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the club house, 244 North Helena street.

Only 39 of these applicants were able to qualify, an indication of the high standards for acceptance established by the Army and Air Force. Over half of those qualifying were former service men. "The high proportion of former Army, Navy and Marine Corps enlistments," said Major Muir, "is due to the special inducement offered former members of the Armed Forces, including choice of assignment, either at home or abroad. All previous service is counted for longevity pay and retirement benefits, family allowances are still in effect and, in most cases, enlistment in the highest former or comparable grade held is authorized."

Registration fees on all vehicles have been increased from $3 to a total of $6, while vehicle license fees remain unchanged at $1.75 per $100 actual market value for the vehicle as determined by the department. The minimum vehicle license fee is $1. It is in the weight fee category that truck and trailer owners will find the increase. As an example of the increase, a 14,500 pound truck having not more than two axles formerly was charged a $50 weight fee. In 1948 the fee will be $120. In the three-axle category, a 12,500 pound truck which formerly paid $70 in weight fees annually, now is subject to a $150 fee. Two axle vehicles weighing less than 3,000 pounds unloaded are exempt from payment of the weight fee. Most small pickup trucks therefore escape payment of the fee. Mussels Again Fit For Food Mussels—good only for fish bait during the summer months—became food fit for human consumption again next Saturday along the entire western seacoast. The annual quarantine on this edible shellfish ended with Oct. 31, it was announced by Dr. Wilton L. Halverson, California state director of public health. Only exception to the declaration of "open season" on mussels is in seaside areas where all shellfish are quarantined due to sewage pollution. Warning signs are posted in such localities. County Owes No One First Time In 48 Years Orange county this year not only has the lowest tax rate of history of pipeline construction. The pipeline will be surpassed in length only by the 24-inch "Big Inch" and the 20-inch "Little Big Inch," installed during the war to transport oil from Texas and Louisiana to the eastern seaboard, while the 30-inch link from Blythe to Santa Fe Springs is the largest high test pipe ever fabricated and laid. The pipeline is the first major pipeline of any kind to come into California from out of state. In addition to Lieutenant Governor Knight, those participating in the program at Santa Fe Springs this afternoon will include F. S. Wade, president of Southern California Gas Company; Arthur F. Bridge, president of Southern Counties Gas Company; and Paul Kayser, president of the El Paso Natural Gas Company. These three men represent the companies which built and which will operate the pipeline. The audience will be made up of other gas company officials, representatives of all the principal municipalities in the southland, state and county officials, executives of manufacturing companies and business firms in southern and northern California, Texas business leaders, and representatives of the firms that had a hand in building the great natural gas artery. With the laying of an additional 250 miles of piping to Dumas, Texas, next year, a practically continuous pipeline will extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, and it will be possible theoretically to transport fuel from one coast to the other. The building of the pipeline is a strictly western achievement, Mobile X-Ray To Be At AUHS Next Monday Morning Molina Enlists In Air Force A former letterman on the Anaheim Union high school football squad Vister Molina County Owes No One First Time In 48 Years Orange county this year not only has the lowest tax rate of any of the 58 counties in California, but it now is out of debt—for the first time in 48 years. The final $71,163 installment of the depression welfare loan from the state was paid off last year. The county's peak public debt was in 1919 when it reached $1,642,000, after an earlier peak of $1,467,000 in 1913. In 1919 the county floated a $500,000 Newport harbor bond issue while still paying off the $1,270,000 highway bonds of 1913, the $100,000 bridge bonds of 1912, the $60,000 hospital bonds of 1912, and the $100,000 courthouse bonds of 1899. The courthouse bonds were retired in 1920, the hospital and bridge bonds in 1932, the highway bonds in 1945. So now the county is out of debt at the age of 58, for the first time since it was 10 years old. Thirty-three other California counties are debt free and the remaining 24 owe a total of $133,-169,087. Of this total San Francisco city and county owe $110,-299,000.

It pays to advertise when you use the Anaheim Gazette.
