"HANK" SAYS... The enlisted-warrant career plan which was made public this week in its final form is a job which we believe every one who had a hand in can be proud. And that includes a lot of soldiers in the field. With some few exceptions we liked the plan that was tentatively announced last May. Not only have most of these exceptions been remedied, but many policies in the original plan have been further strengthened. This is a plan that every veteran should look into as it holds many attractive features that would insure him of a career that can not be equaled in any other way. Ernest H. Montiel, JJ, son of Joe D. Modiefel, Rt. No. 3, Ananeim was one of this week's enlistees in the U., S. Army. He chose the Corps of Engineers as his branch of service, and expects, during his enlistment, to learn a trade and continue his education through the United States Armed Forces Institute. The period during which Army and Air Force personnel have the privilege of re-enlisting in grade has been extended from 20 days to 90, under new regulations issued by the two branches of service. For 20 days the grade and vacancy will be held open and the individual can return to his old assignment if he re-enlists during that period. Beyond 20 days and up to 90 he can re-enlist in grade, but not in vacancy. Orange county and this station can be justly proud of the amount Catholic Welfare Reports Growing Activity in 1947 A substantial increase in requests for services and financial aid was noted by the Catholic Welfare Bureau, Orange County District, in its 1947 annual report submitted to Edward J. Power, chairman of Anaheim Community Chest, this week. "Rev. Alden J. Bell, director, and Mrs. Florence Burrows, supervisor of Orange county, deserve a great deal of praise for their year-round work in our county," stated Power in summing up the report. "Five hundred thirty-two families, comprising 1898 individuals were given assistance by the bureau last year. Needy persons of every creed are served when they are ineligible for the tax-supported programs of general assistance." Power stressed particularly the fact that all work done by the agency met the high social work standards of national family welfare agencies. Like all Red Feather organizations serving Orange county, Catholic Welfare Bureau is supported by voluntary contributions collected by the Community Chest.

Farm People and Extension Staff To Plan Program Sixty farm people of Orange county will meet with the Agricultural Extension Service tomorrow (Friday), to develop a program of work for 1948. The Extension Service maintains the unique policy of seeking the recommendations of local farmers regarding its activities in the county. Current farm and one problems will be considered the planning group. Subcommittees will confer on cados, field crops, vegetable crops, livestock and dairy, poultry, rural home, and 4-H Clubs. This is the ninth annual conference of this nature that has assisted the Extension Service in deaping a program of work, said Adam Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. A progress report on last year's recommendations will be presented to the conference by members of the extension staff. Wahlberg pointed out that rapidly changing conditions in the More Banking Offices Needed, Says Giannini At the annual meeting of shareholders of Bank of America, Thursday, all directors were re-elected, and at the directors' meeting which followed, all officers of the bank were reappointed. In his annual report President L. M. Giannini said that 1947 was a year in which all the economic forces of California, including the facilities of Bank of America, were concentrated on the task of catching up with the requirements of greatly increased population. Significant change in the financial position of the bank was in the shift of employed funds from investment in long term premium securities to amortizing loans for such constructive purposes as building, buying and equipping homes, expanding business and industry, and creating more employment. "Let it be noted," said Giannini, "that our policy has been and will continue to be to direct the credit resources of this bank into sound loans for constructive purposes which do not aggravate the inflationary trend." Reiterating that Bank of America had been built by the patronage of the small customer, the president reported that near the end of 1947 the bank was carrying 3,784,473 deposit accounts and had 1,093,402 loans outstanding. Savings account balances averaged $935; checking balances of individuals, partnerships and corporations averaged $1,773. The loan total included 580,818 small loans to individuals and small business men, 344,181 loans to assist people to purchase or improve their homes or other real property. Howser to Ask Dismissal of 75 Alien Land Cases Attorney General Fred N. Howser has announced he will ask dismissal of approximately 75 alien land law cases now pending in California courts, as a result of the recent United States supreme court decision in the Oyama case. While the high court did not hold the alien land law unconstitutional in the Oyama case, Howser said "there is little doubt that the law would be held unconstitutional if any of the cases now pending under the law were considered." "There is little if anything left of California's alien land law as a result of the Oyama decision," said the attorney general, "and as a result we are arranging to have all remaining cases dismissed." Howser's decision was forwarded in a letter to A. L. Wirin, attorney for the Japanese American Citizens League. If Offered Share In Fortune, Tell Postal Inspector It is again possible to share in a rich "Spanish fortune" by putting up a few insignificant dollars. At any rate it is possible to put up the dollars. William W. Probsch, postoffice inspector stationed at Santa Ana has advised Anaheim Postmaster Louis H. Hoskins that the number of "Spanish swindle" letters are arriving in this country in steadily increasing numbers and he seems somewhat concerned about it though the story told by the swindler this time seems especially far-fetched. The writer of the current series of letters says that though he has $325,000 in American currency in a trunk in a customhouse in the United States, he is in a debtor's prison in Mexico and thus can't Farm and Home Loans to Vet Still at 3% The approximately 10 erans now purchasing under the state farm purchase plan will continue interest at the low rate cent a year as a result taken by the California Board.

Out of State Jobless Claims Cause Hearing (Western News Service) A hearing to determine the legality of the State Department of Employment's interstate agreement plan has been set for February 11 by the Employment Stabilization Commission. The agreement, involving millions of dollars of state unemployment tax money and thousands of claims has been in operation for the past year. Louis H. Hoskins that the number of "Spanish swindle" letters are arriving in this country in steadily increasing numbers and he seems somewhat concerned about it though the story told by the swindler this time seems especially far-fetched. The writer of the current series of letters says that though he has $325,000 in American currency in a trunk in a customhouse in the United States, he is in a debtor's prison in Mexico and thus can't get the key to the treasure trunk because it is in a suitcase on which there is an embargo. He gives the recipient an opportunity to do a "big favor" but in his initial communication doesn't say what it is. The postal people suppose eventually anyone who answers the letter will be asked to help get the writer out of prison and thus share in his fortune. So they urge that anyone receiving a letter of this type to send it to a postoffice inspector or give it to the postmaster.

Meeting Today Members of the Anaheim Co- Cause Hearing (Western News Service) A hearing to determine the legality of the State Department of Employment's interstate agreement plan has been set for February 11 by the Employment Stabilization Commission. The agreement, involving millions of dollars of state unemployment tax money and thousands of claims has been in operation for the past year. Under the terms of the agreement, approved by the federal government, employer protests of claims made in other states by employees who earned their wage credits in California must be made to the out-of-state agencies. The appeals are then determined by the outside state on the basis of their own laws and regulations. It was this procedure which prompted a protest by the Maywood Glass company of Los Angeles and resulted in the forthcoming Sacramento hearing. The company contends the agreement is illegal and unconstitutional. The department entered into the agreement by "administrative procedure" despite claims that there is no justification for such an agreement under California law.

Farm and Home Loans to Vets Still at 3% The approximately 15,000 veterans now purchasing property under the state farm and home purchase plan will continue to pay interest at the low rate of 3 percent a year as a result of action taken by the California Veterans Board. In voting unanimously against any increase at this time in the present favorable rate, the board concluded that the purchase plan is financially sound and capable of maintaining its 26-year record of operating without expense to the taxpayers of the state, Chairman Louis H. Burke, Montebello, explained. Under the law, the interest rate may be redetermined periodically within a range of 2½ to 4 percent in accordance with the cost of money and other factors.

Get Furniture, Colds at San Francisco Mart Gene Mahaffey and Martin Bowman of the Mahaffey-Fitz Furniture store of this city returned last evening, Wednesday, after attending the Western Merchandising Mart in San Francisco. They left here last Sunday morning. Buying appeared to be spotty, perhaps to their early attendance since buying at the mart continues throughout the week, they stated. Items selling slowly, however, were those ample on today's market, they explained. More scarce items and modern pieces were selling faster. They noted that the furniture was of much better quality, but selling, of course, at a higher price. Sight seeing was also enjoyed by the duo. Both obtained colds.
