Howser Names 10 'Shame Spots' In California (Western News Service) California's ten "black spots" characterized as the worst in the state for prostitution by Attorney General Fred N. Howser in an address before law enforcement officers in San Francisco, and the number of known houses operating in them, follow: Fresno county, 27; Imperial county, 18; Solano county, 12; Kern county, 14; San Joaquin county, 8; Merced county, 5; Amador county, 5; Shasta county, 4; Tulare county, 4; Siskiyou county, 3. Howser explained that the characterization as "black spots" was arrived at on the basis of the number of houses operating on percentage of population in the county. He also stated that in all instances, the information has been turned over to local officers for investigation. The information was received by the attorney general's office, he said, in regular perusal of reports of the State Department of Public Health, which contain reports as to where venereal diseases are contacted. The figure given, it was stated, does not necessarily mean that these are all the houses operating within the county, nor does it mean that this number of houses is operating at the present time, as they may have been closed by local authorities. The report, however, is as current as could be obtained from health department records.

With Its First Recreation Director California Embarks no New Activity (Western News Service) With the appointment of Sterling S. Winans of Los Angeles as the first director of recreation, the state of California embarks on a new phase of governmental activity—a phase designed for the needs of an area which has graduated from college to the full grown stature of young manhood. For nearly 100 years, California’s recreational activities have been more or less a hit-and-miss affair, and despite this fact, recreation and travel form the third largest industry in the state. But the free and easy 100 years, when a man could start out for a vacation with no idea of a destination, are virtually over, says Winans. With nearly ten million people in the state, planned recreation must be substituted, and planned recreation demands information, technical advice, and a set of standards in the recreation field. The commission will be concerned not only with travel, but with all forms of recreation which affect the public, and with this multiple program, no doubt will have its hands full carrying out the purposes of the bill. It will not be the purpose of the department, Winans declares, actually to operate recreation facilities. Rather, the department will act as a co-ordinating agency between federal, state, county and municipal agencies, and will furnish technical advice as requested. It’s services are wholly voluntary. “For instance,” said Winans in explaining the functions of the commission, “a city wants to set up a recreation program, as it realizes the need for such a civic enterprise in providing for the welfare of its residents. Usually, city governments are not familiar with the methods used to set up program, he would contact the State Recreation Commission, which on request would furnish the technical help and advises necessary to establish a standard program.” The same methods would be used for state institutions, or other agencies interested in maintaining any phase of a program, Winans said. Additionally, the commission hopes to establish an informational bureau on all facilities for recreation in California, a central point where anyone may write and obtain such information regarding climate, sports, type of country, facilities, as is desired. While the recreation program is not pointed specifically at reduction of juvenile delinquency, Winans said the adoption of programs by communities of the state, provision of recreational facilities, organized play, camps, may have a definite effect on lowering the delinquency rate. “It will take a long time to get the complete program under way,” said the director. “It is planning for the future as well as the present, and in the years to come, California will reap the benefit from co-ordinated activity in this important field.” Members of the commission are C. A. Dykstra, Los Angeles, chairman; Claude H. Adams, Merced; Anderson Borthwick, San Diego; Mrs. Rollin Brown, Los Angeles; Albin J. Gruhn, Eureka; Mrs. Bartlett Heard, Berkeley and Gareth W. Houk, Visalia. TO SPEND CHRISTMAS IN RIVERSIDE Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Nipper of 213 East Water street, are spending the Christmas holiday in Riverside with her sister, Mrs. W. C. Riverside, Imperial, and Bernardino. A real action on the proposal, as well made as a conservation measure, is expected at a fish and commission meeting in Los Angeles January 30 and 31.

Has 23,730 Veterans (Western News Service) World War II gave many residents of other states their first impulse of California and a majority went overseas with the vow they would make this state their home when the war came to an end. As a result, California today has a veteran population of 1,232,600 ex-servicemen, 899,100 from World War II, and 3,240 from other wars. The totals were compiled by the U. S. Veterans Administration, which showed 17,420 World War II veterans and 6,310 from other wars for a total of 23,730 in Orange county. The California State Department of Veterans Affairs takes exception to the Veterans Administration total for veterans of World War II. U. S. figures, state officials say, fail to take into consideration the heavy influx of former servicemen from other states who have crossed and are still crossing state borders to establish new homes in California. The total for World War II veterans, they state, should be 1,200,-100, which would add an additional 300,000 veterans to federal estimates.
