"HANK" SAYS The United States Armed Forces Institute, commonly called USAFI (you-sah-fee) is a joint educational service for all our armed forces—Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines. Through USAFI a serviceman can improve his basic education in reading, writing and arithmetic. He can qualify for and receive a high school diploma. He can gain school credits toward a high school diploma or college degree. He can receive vocational and technical training that will help him advance in his military career or future civilian occupation. USAFI began in the Army. Known first as the Army Institute, it was established in December 1941 to provide education opportunities for the men in the Army wherever they might be stationed. Five months later the institute opened its courses to all the armed forces. In July 1945 its courses were extended to commissioned personnel. S/Sgt. Harry Beason, of Anaheim, is now enjoying a furlough from the U.S. Air Force Base at Hamilton Field, California. Beason recently reenlisted in the Air Force with a view of staying for that very attractive retirement pay. Upon return to duty he is scheduled to attend the Air Force Radar School at Keesler Field, Mississippi. Fairfield-Suisan is an unusual Air Base, because the Trans-Pacific Airline operates out of this field, and with a huge operation like that, the base is almost a city within itself. This airline is one of the many functions of the Air Transport Command, the command that has a record of 40 million miles of flying over the roughest territory in the world without a passenger fatality. The Air Transport command delivered the Chinese Sixth Army, complete with thousands of Mongolian pack horses, when the Japs were battering the air bases that protected Kunming. Not a man or horse was lost and bases were saved. Between VE- and VJ-Days ATC returned 150,000 men from Europe to the United States to be trained for battle against the Japanese, and at the height of the war an ATC plane crossed the Atlantic every eight minutes and the Pacific every 26 minutes! This is the outfit that needs men of almost every speciality... if you are a veteran there's a place for you at the Air Transport's base at Fairfield-Suisan, located between San Francisco and Sacramento. We hear that Anaheim's Bill Koontz will be home from the Army's Universal Military Training Center at Fort Knox for the holidays. We hope to see Bill and get the low-down on this project and release it to you through this column. Hope that Santa Claus reaches all of you this week and until next week so-long and a MERRY CHRISTMAS every one! A course in after dinner speaking has been given at the U.S. Naval Academy for several years. Bean Beetle Infestation Almost Whipped Good progress has been made in fighting the bean beetle, a serious pest where it has become established, county agricultural commissioners, meeting in Sacramento in the fall annual conference, were told. Beans form an important crop in California and 33,600 acres were devoted to that crop in Orange county with an annual average production of 409,300 100 pound bags. The California Department of Agriculture and the county agricultural commissioner of Ventura county have cooperated in experiments in an effort to control the pest. Under the direction of John B. Steinweden, state supervising entomologist, and Commissioner C. J. Barrett of Ventura, the campaign has been under way since 1946 when it was discovered a Montalvo, Ventura county, in the heart of 40,000 acres of bean plantings. The first year's attack was based on a plowing under of the most heavily infested area, and the dusting of lightly infested fields and surrounding protective areas. The hibernating places of the beetle were found beneath leaves of eucalyptus, walnut, and lemon trees which were sprayed with pyralrum, DDT not being effective. In the second year, 1947, a fields of the infested area were dusted with rotenone several times. The spread of the beetle was stopped and with conclusion of the work only 635 beetles were found, in contrast to the thousand ARTHRITIS This is perhaps the most widespread and the most painful and crippling disease known throughout the world today. It has been rightly called "The Great Crippler." Most treatments merely alleviate the symptoms. Our treatment REMOVES THE CAUSE thereby allowing nature to step in and assist in the restoration of health. CHRONIC ARTHRITIS SUFFERERS Call Anaheim 5422 for an Appointment DR.

Whipping Cream Must Be Cream Howser Rules (Western News Service) California housewives, attempting to make the family weekly stipend include little luxuries such as whipped cream, no longer may buy substitutes for whipping cream, in certain instances, Attorney General Fred N. Howser has ruled. In an opinion handed down at the request of the state director of agriculture, Howser ruled it is illegal under the agricultural code to sell a product which has been made from market cream with sugar added, or other products manufactured from manufacturing cream to which sugar, gelatin, flavoring or other ingredients have been added. With retail prices of whipping and other grades of cream at record levels, substitutes for whipping cream have appeared and housewives have been economizing by buying the substitutes. Howser said that sections of the agricultural code forbid the sale of cream unless certain percentages of butterfat are contained in the fluid when offered for sale.
