Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Crawford Bailey moved to Elsinore this week, where they own property. For the past five months they have been leasing one of the houses owned by Mrs. Maybelle Dyer, who is a sister of Mrs. Bailey's. Mr. Bailey is a world-famous statistician and author of a number of books on mathematics. He has solved many problems for banks and settled court controversies involving higher mathematics. Cal. Tech. of Pasadena has eagerly sought his answers, and one time an Engineering society sent him $1,000 for the solution to a problem—but it required Mr. Bailey six months time to solve the "unsolvable" problem. The Los Angeles Times used to sell his books on mathematics at $25 each, and at present nearly all libraries in the Los Angeles area have Mr. Bailey's "Tables" in them. Higher calculus seems to run in the Bailey family as Mr. Bailey's father was a famous Canadian engineer. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Lyen of Cypress were visited last Sunday by two uncles and a cousin of Mrs. Lyen's. One uncle is L. R. Bergh of Tacoma, Washington, and the other is Sam Bergh of Wayland, Iowa. The two brothers are plumbing, heating and sheetmetal contractors in their respective cities. The cousin is Sam Bergh's daughter, Miss Doris Bergh now of Los Angeles. She is a teacher of voice at Occidental College. Martha A. Groos Claimed By Death Martha A. Groos, 75 years of age, passed away at 1015 North Broadway, Santa Ana, on Saturday, Jan. 24 following an extended illness. Residing in Anaheim since 1914 she moved to Santa Ana only thirteen months ago. Born in Leipsig, Germany, she had been a resident of the United States 52 years. She was a member of Zion Lutheran church. Surviving are one son, Arthur B. Groos of National City; two grandchildren, and three sisters, Mrs. Alga Hemphel of Los Angeles and two sisters residing in Germany. Services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars mortuary with the Rev. H. G. Schmelzer, retired minister of Zion Lutheran church and a close friend of the family, officiating. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery. The dances presented were special adaptations from Mrs. Martin's recent book, "The Wise Old Mother Goose," for which publication she drew all the stage diagrams and did all the art work. The publication of her book brought her instantaneous international acclaim, and caused the International Mark Twain Society to present her with an honorary membership. This society is headed in this country by Booth Tarkington, and in England by Winston Churchill. She was also presented with the "HANK" SAYS... Corporal James W.

She is a teacher of voice at Occidental College. Miss Darlene White of Pasadena, visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Len White, on Sunday. Mrs. Mattie Freeman of North Walker street has recently returned home from a prolonged illness. She spent several weeks in a hospital in Los Angeles and the past month in the Orange county hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Clem Carmack are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Mester of Cypress. They are Mrs. Mester's parents. The Carmacks find the California climate so much to their liking that they are going to remain here until the middle of March. And, in fact, Mr. Carmack says the weather here is so superior to the zero weather of their home in St. Louis. Mo., that he is of a mind to sell their home and move here. Mrs. Carmack has been here before, but this is Mr. Carmack's first visit to the state. The two families are planning on a trip to Tijuana, San Francisco and possibly take in the sights of Oregon. Someone, either appreciating the beauty of roses, or needing the cash into which they could be converted, Monday night "lifted" ten tree rose bushes from around the drive at Arie Van Klaveren's home. Mr. Van Klaveren valued the roses at fifty dollars. O. K. Pike of Anacortes, Washington, was a recent guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Noe, of Cypress. Mr. Pike is general manager for the Skagit Fisheries of Anacortes. While here, he was Mr. Noe's guest at a meeting of the Kiwanis club. Franklin Ausburn, who is in training in the officers school in Corpus Christie, spent the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Ausburn of this place.

When ready to return to school, young Franklin found he was unable to obtain a plane reservation. His parents solved the problem by taking him in their car. They felt this was an opportunity time to take a little vacation, so while away, they have been visiting in Texas and Oklahoma. Last week representatives from the schools of Stanton, Los Alamitos, Savanna, Laurel, Centralia and Cypress met to form a West Orange County Safety Council. Jack Fullerton is head of the group and the meetings will take place on the last Thursday of each month, at 7:30 p.m. Mrs. T. Alaman was elected secretary. The slogan of the Safety Council is, "You might save a life, and it might be yours." Representatives from the county state and national government attend these meetings, and also representatives from railroads and auto clubs. Other organizations are also contacted and made acquainted with the work of the Council. At the meeting last week Cuba Morris of the State Highway Patrol addressed the group. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Mason, from Burbank, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Tanner of Cypress. On the night of January 23, Lynn Lyen appeared in the dance pageant titled "Lively Lads and Lassies," presented in the Huntington Beach High School auditorium, sponsored by the Silver Sands Parlor No. 286 of the Na- "HANK" SAYS .. Corporal James W. Beason, Anaheim, dropped by the office to show off that new stripe. He has been promoted to Corporal after last one short month of service and is currently stationed at the Long Beach Air Base. Beason is a heavy equipment operator and his duties, at the present time, is operating one of the U.S. Air Force's huge trailer trucks between Long Beach Air Base and McClellan Field, near Encarnato. He is a veteran of WW II and served in the European Theater. His present plans are to volunteer shortly for more duty in the Euro-American Theater and, to quote him, "this time the Air Forces is a career, I want that retirement." Americans have always been proud of their "minute men" ability to mobilize when their national security has been threatened. However, as the world science and industry progresses or thinking in terms of defense must also be advanced. The "minute men" have passed the ages and to fill the ranks blit second men" must appear. It required two and one half years during the war to develop a military machine to an operating efficiency that enabled us successfully engage in combat. All predictions indicate that this period of growth will not be forthcoming would be 65 minutes for a 24 hour day or approximately 44 minutes of his waking hours. Is 44 minutes each day for every American too great a price to pay for a measure of security? One of several Garden Grove men who have recently joined the armed forces is Parham L. Merritt, who this week signed up for 3 years with the U.S. Air Forces. A veteran of over 5 years service Merritt served during WW II with the 41st Bombardment group. Because of his previous service, Merritt chose an assignment at March Field, Riverside, California. He will be eligible for retirement in less than fifteen years. Cal. Tech. Man To Discuss Weather Weather problems, mainly rain, will be discussed by Dr. Irving P. Kirck, professor of meteorology at the California Institute of Technology, Friday night, February 6, at 7:30 o'clock, at the Little Theater of Santa Ana Union high school, Dion L. Gardner, secretary of the Orange Water district, announced today. All agriculturists, county and city officials and interested citizens are invited to attend the free program. Kirck's topic will be "Weather as Related to Water Supply." Los and Artificial Nucleation of Rain Angeles county is dickering now to secure Kirck as a scientific rain producer for that county. Vernon C. Heil, president of the Orange County Water District, will preside over the business session and introduce the weather expert. Kirck, a well known authority, is a consultant to a large number of commercial, farm, industrial and motion picture concerns who depend upon weather reports for success of their enterprises in southern California, on the east coast and in England and Australia. During the recent war, Kirck served in the U.S. Army as a colonel. He was with the weather group who aided General Dwight D. Eisenhower in determining the exact day for the Normandy invasion in Europe. National Guard Nears 10,000 Mark The California National Guard now has a total of 286 activated units and a strength rapidly nearing the 10,000 mark, it is announced by Adjutant General Curtis D. O'Sullivan who said five additional units had been activated. Grain Yields Increased By Killing Weeds Grain yields are increasing destroying weeds. With assistant farm advisor is now being widely selective weed killer fields. Many of the weed pests grain fields, such as ish, mustards, fiddle-nuthole, have been reused in the young stages. To the grain may take 2,4-D is used when young. It should be inches high and tiller deep. The usual rate of applying controlling weeds is governed by Dr. W. W. the College of Agriculture fourth to three-fourths 2,4-D acid per acre, three to fifteen gallons by airplane or 30 to 50 feet of water by ground rinsing. The use of 2,4-D as a erer is discussed by W. W. and W. W. Robbins in particular of the University of Napa Agricultural Extension Service. Copies are available at the Extension office, 8th street, Santa Ana. Why must we SAVE as well as PROTECT? Why must we do both to Why Does Today’s Money Buy Less? Governments all over the world issued extra money to pay their citizens for war work. We did it here. We paid ourselves roughly 200 billion dollars a year during the war. Only a little over half of this 200 billion dollars was matched by production of consumer goods and by productive facilities usable in peace time. The rest was spent for war goods shot away or wasted in the war effort. Instead of taxing this extra half right out of existence at the time it was being paid for making the war goods — instead of paying for the war as we went—we chose to keep the extra money in the form of bonds, savings accounts, and cash. Too many of us are now busy trying to trade in our part of this extra money all at once for the things we have been wanting and waiting for but haven’t yet been able to produce for ourselves in sufficient quantity. We’ve got too great and too eager a demand for goods. We still have too few goods to satisfy that demand. The only possible result is that too much money is being paid for what there is to buy—and needlessly so. Too many of our citizens continue to use their whole present income, plus a substantial portion of past savings, to keep bidding up to fantastic levels the prices on the goods that are available. This is particularly true in the food field. Consumers’ expenditures altogether during the last half of 1947, according to the President's economic report (Jan. 14), “were 3½ billion dollars more than the increase of their incomes.” How Can We Stop Paying Too Much? We can stop paying too much. We have only to recognize that Congress or "industry" or any other group is powerless to do the job. How Can We Stop Paying Too Much? We can stop paying too much. We have only to recognize that Congress or "industry" or any other group is powerless to do the job for us. We must do it ourselves—individually. What does each of us have to do? Two things. 1. WE HAVE TO PRODUCE MORE EVERYBODY has to redouble his zeal—in his own self-interest—to make up for the things we wore out and had to do without during the war and the too-long reconversion period afterward. EACH EMPLOYEE—for his own selfish good—has to take a new and enlightened interest in finding further ways to eliminate waste and to apply his skill, care, and effort more fully and effectively to his daily work. And this won't make him any more tired when he goes home at night. More saving is the patriotic thing to do. It's the way savings and income. Above all, it's the best thing for We can conquer inflation only by attacking on both Let’s get the supply up fast through increased production within manageable limits through frugal buying, Grain Yields Increased By Killing Weeds Grain yields are increased by destroying weeds. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor says 2,4-D is now being widely used as a selective weed killer in grain fields. Many of the weed pests that infest grain fields, such as wild radish, mustards, fiddle-neck and star thistle, have been readily killed in the young stages. Some injury to the grain may take place if 2,4-D is used when the grain is young. It should be four to six inches high and tillering. The usual rate of application for controlling weeds in grain recommended by Dr. W. W. Robbins of the College of Agriculture is one-fourth to three-fourths pound of 2,4-D acid per acre, applied in three to fifteen gallons of water by airplane or 30 to 100 gallons of water by ground rig. The use of 2,4-D as a weed killer is discussed by W. A. Harvey and W. W. Robbins in a new circular of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service. Copies are available free at the Extension office, 1104 West 8th street, Santa Ana. Will Show How To Prune Deciduous Trees Tomorrow The principles of deciduous tree pruning will be discussed by W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, at 10 a.m., Friday, January 30, at the Charles W. Hart place, 1229 East Grove Place, Fullerton. Grove is off of North Raymond avenue, north of East Chapman street. Training and care of young trees and pruning of old trees to assure a vigorous, mechanically strong healthy tree will be featured. Insect and disease control problems will be discussed by Dick Puffer, assistant farm advisor. This is the time of year when proper tree care requires attention to pruning and insect control problems. Next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, residents of this vicinity may hear a lecture on the subject of "Christian Science: It's Practical Application to Everyday Life," over station KFWB (980 kc). The program will be broadcast from the Seventeenth Church of Christ, Scientist, Los Angeles. The lecturer, Sim Andrew Kolliner of St. Paul, Minnesota, is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship. Taller Tower At Buena Park For Station KFI The two 400 foot steel towers which have served for many years as part of the equipment of KFI radio transmitting station north of Manchester boulevard northwest of Buena Park have been pulled down to make way for a single tower which this week was about half completed. The new single mast will be 750 feet tall, compared to the 400 foot height of the old twin towers. Several derricks rigged specially for the job pulled down the old towers. Until the new tower is completed KFI will be served by a standby tower in Los Angeles. Those juicy California carrots which find their way into stews, soups, and many other items on the menu returned $23,236,000 to growers last year, $4,598,000 more than in 1946. A survey by the California Crop and Livestock Reporting Service shows that 6,707,000 crates of carrots were produced from 24,400 acres last year as compared to 28,150 acres in 1946 when the yield totaled 6,804,000 crates. Orange county accounted for approximately 13,000 crates last year raised on 50 acres. Save SAVE more— has PRODUCE more? Do both to conquer Inflation? EACH EMPLOYER has to hasten the developing of new and improved designs, equipment, and methods, so that each worker can produce more for himself and others with the same effort. In other words, WE MUST ALL go about the business of supplying as much as possible of this unfilled demand for goods as fast as possible. But, meanwhile, we must all be doing something else, too. 2. WE HAVE TO SAVE MORE To be sure, we have to keep on paying taxes to cover what our government pays out for subsidies to keep prices up, for goods and services used here and given away abroad, and for interest and debt retirement. It must be remembered that government expenses—which each individual pays directly in taxes or indirectly in prices—are about four times prewar. Taxes now take about the same as the cost of food. EVERYBODY must do his part to make it possible for all of us, to cover by savings, and not by borrowings, what we divert from immediate consumption to put into plant and equipment for future benefit. Meanwhile, we must hold on to our old savings. We must stop adding our savings dollars to our income dollars and using both to bid up prices on scarce goods and actually to try to buy more EVERYBODY must do his part to make it possible for all of us, to cover by savings, and not by borrowings, what we divert from immediate consumption to put into plant and equipment for future benefit. Meanwhile, we must hold on to our old savings. We must stop adding our savings dollars to our income dollars and using both to bid up prices on scarce goods and actually to try to buy more of these goods than yet exist. Then, we must find a way—through ingenuity and self-restraint—to make what's left of our income cover our expenditures for consumer goods. This is seemingly an impossible task for lots of us, but yet somehow it must be done. Otherwise, the continual spending of savings and income for current individual needs will keep on chasing prices up till the country is no longer able to pay them and we have a crash. Almost every one of us is living way beyond the range of necessities as judged not only by the standards of the rest of the world now or at any time, but by our own standards of only a few years or months back. Some careful and frugal buying now, together with only a little self-denial, will enable everyone to contribute his share in conquering inflation. This should also pay a great return to each of us in adding to the future buying power of savings we are now wasting. It’s the way, also, to stop damaging our neighbors’ best thing for each of us to do in his own self-interest. Attacking on both the supply and demand fronts at once! Through increased production! Let’s meanwhile keep demand through frugal buying, self-denial, and “saving the savings”! GE ELECTRIC
