Unemployment Insurance Claims Harder to Get Unemployment insurance claims filed before the first of the year will continue to be paid at the old rate of a maximum $20 a week instead of at the new maximum rate of $25 a week, it was emphasized here today by Harold E. Walling, Unemployment Insurance Manager at the Fullerton office of the California Department of Employment. Some jobless insurance claimants have assumed, Walling said, that their compensation checks would be boosted as soon as the new law liberalizing benefit payments went into effect the first of the year. However, these liberalized payments apply only to new claims filed after the turn of the year and do not affect those claims filed prior to that time, it was pointed out. Furthermore, the law specifically prohibits the cancellation of valid claims filed under the old law in order to take advantage of the new higher benefit rate. Asked if potential claimants during the few weeks preceding the new law's effectiveness had been advised to defer filing their claims until after January 1, Walling pointed out that it is to the advantage of many claimants to have filed their claims instead of waiting. First, it is now necessary to earn considerably more to obtain the new liberalized maximum payment of $25 weekly. Also, those claimants with high earnings in only one calendar quarter might not be eligible under the new law for any benefits at all. Finally, earnings in the July to September quarter of 1947 will not be used in computing benefit payments under the new law before February, 1948, Walling explained. Vets' Survivors Told of Benefits Offered by State Many children of veterans who died as a result of war service do not realize that they may be entitled to financial assistance from the State of California while attending high school and college, in addition to any federal compensation they may be receiving says Ben Liebermann, director of Veterans Affairs. State aid of $20 a month for high school or $40 a month for college or trade school is provided by the State Veterans Dependents Educational Act. This assistance also is available to widows of deceased veterans under certain circumstances. Those eligible are widows and children of servicemen who were killed in service during either world war, or who died later as a result of war service connected disability. The serviceman need not have entered service from California, but the widow or child must have resided in the state for five years at the time of application. Enough Timber To House 220,000 Cut In State in 1947 Western News Service Enough timber to house a city of 220,000 persons was cut in the national forests of California during the last fiscal year, the U. S. Forest Service regional office has disclosed. Latest figures compiled by the U. S. Service for the year ending June 30, 1947, show that timber cut from 18 national forests by the lumber industry totaled 555,-181,000 board feet which was valued at approximately $2,000,-000. The total cut exceeded that of the previous year by 152,000,000 feet and was greater in value by $690,000. U. C. Savants Begin War On Beet Nematodes Western News Service In an effort to halt inroads on sugar beet nematodes and losses to the sugar beet crop in Orange county where 5,500 tons were grown on 300 acres for an average yield per acre of 18.3 tons two University of California College of Agriculture scientists are studying life habits of the pests. The tiny threadworms, which cause millions of dollars in damage annually, may cut yields as much as 25 percent, or from 18 to 20 tons per acre down to 12 or 14 tons. Dr. M. W. Allen, nematode specialist, states that sugar content is also reduced when the nematode suck out the plant juices. In an effort to control nematodes, savants are studying life habits of the worms. Crop rotation is the only known method of control at the present time. But with beets at $25 per ton, many growers have been planting that crop on the same land too often resulting in larger nematode losses since 1942. Treating the soil with chemicals does not always work, states Allen. The eggs and larvae are protected by a strong outer coating which enables them to live in the soil for many years. Very little work has been undertaken in California to discover how nematodes live. Beets from clean soil are now being transplanted in nematode-infested soil 24 hours, and then planted in clean soil again. Every day, a few infected plants are removed, and the developing nematodes studied under the microscope. This method gives a continuous record of growth, the scientists say, which later may give the answer to control of the pest. new liberalized maximum payment of $25 weekly. Also, those claimants with high earnings in only one calendar quarter might not be eligible under the new law for any benefits at all. Finally, earnings in the July to September quarter of 1947 will not be used in computing benefit payments under the new law before February, 1948, Walling explained. DAUGHTER BORN Mr. and Mrs. J.

The total cut exceeded that of the previous year by 152,000,000 feet and was greater in value by $690,000. Foresters state the cut would be sufficient to build 55,000 five-room houses suitable for families of four. However, much of the timber went to make fruit boxes, industrial timber and other wood products. Beavers May Sometime Help Water Supply (Western News Service) Though the beaver's part in relieving the present state water drought is deemed negligible by water experts, it is also granted that a helpful potential in water supply for the future lies in the work of these animals carefully placed about the state and protected, the state division of fish and game said today. Reports disclose that 212 male and 216 female Golden, Shasta, Oregon and Idaho beaver have been trapped and transferred to areas where they are more useful in the state through 11 plantings during the three seasons from May 17, 1945 to November 15 last year. Merced and Modoc counties supplied the largest number to state trappers, and Santa Barbara, Monterey and San Luis Obispo were the sites of most extensive plantings. The beaver is given credit for restoring dying streams and supplying water for rural storage, stockwatering, fish and wild-life as well as minimizing soil erosion. Tubbs' Office Recovers $29,998 On Farmer Claims (Western News Service) The Bureau of Market Enforcement, State Department of Agriculture, announced that money recoveries and money adjustments made for farmers during 1947 smashed all records; the total being in excess of $982,000, of which $29,998.26 was recovered School Enrollment Reached All-Time High in October (Western News Service) Keeping pace with California's rapidly expanding population, enrollments in public schools throughout the state reached an all-time high of 1,748,098 on Oct. 31, of which 33,977 students were in grades from kindergarten through junior college in Orange county, and 6,110 in special classes or evening high schools and junior colleges. Roy E. Simpson, superintendent of public instruction, in making public enrollment totals for all counties, said 1,489,536 were enrolled in kindergarten through junior college October 31, as compared to 1,383,249 on October 31, 1946. Kuchel Report Shows Drop In Drinking, Betting Reporting on the condition of the "cash box," Thomas H. Kuchel, state controller, today announced that California started the new year with a General Fund excess over current obligations amounting to $153,734,950. This compared to an excess of $153,172,703 on November 30, 1947, and $261,897,-805 on the last day of 1946. Kuchel said that General Fund revenues deposited in the state treasury during the first six months of the current fiscal year amounted to $216,749,464, an increase of 9 per cent, or $18,575,951, over the same period last year. Retail sales and use taxes accounted for $16,040,430 of this increase. Bank and corporation franchise and corporation income taxes were up $5,208,634; insurance company taxes, $3,140,961; personal income taxes, $1,573,109; and sundry other revenue, $2,376,420. Partially offsetting increased income were decreases in the following sources of revenue: Liquor township licenses and fees. Tubbs' Office Recovers $29,998 On Farmer Claims (Western News Service) The Bureau of Market Enforcement, State Department of Agriculture, announced that money recoveries and money adjustments made for farmers during 1947 smashed all records, the total being in excess of $982,000, of which $29,998.26 was recovered by 12 farmers in Orange county. According to County Agricultural Commissioner Dixon W. Tubbs, these amounts were obtained for these growers through the investigation of claims and complaints filed alleging violation of the agricultural code. While many complaints were for nonpayment for farm produce, still others alleged failure to provide boxes, crates, or other harvesting material. Some of the complaints were for failure of licensees to accept crops upon which contracts had been written. Corona del Mar Property Wanted For State Beach (Western News Service) The California Park Commission has voted to begin condemnation proceedings against approximately 40 property holders in Corona del Mar charging the group with blocking acquisition of a state beach at Corona del Mar by demanding exhorbitant prices for their properties.

Hillside Groves Goes in For Bagging Fruit Olive Hillside Groves, cooperative packing association affiliated with Mutlal Orange Distributors, shipped 300,000 bags of oranges in 1947 and liked the results well enough to plan to ship double that amount of fruit in bags in the coming season, it was announced at the 33rd annual meeting of members which was held at Olive Community Center. At the Olive meeting the familiar story of more fruit produced by members in 1947 than in 1946, which sold for less money was repeated. Hillside Groves handled 279,846 boxes of fruit which was 47,455 more boxes than was handled in 1946. Ben F. Guard, secretary-manager, reported that amidst reports of rising costs for producing and shipping oranges, the house reduced picking and hauling costs last year by 6 cents a box. Court Opens State Records To Newsmen (Western News Service) A writ of mandate ordering Paul Scharrenberg, director of the State Department of Industrial Relations, to permit reporters "access to and inspection of all and singular public records" in his keeping has been issued by Superior Judge Thomas M. Foley of San Francisco. Judge Foley's order was handed down as a result of mandamus action brought by Western News Service which charged Scharrenberg with refusing reporters access to public records within his department. In bringing this action against Scharrenberg, Ivan C. Sperbeck, attorney for the plaintiff declared: "Western News Service merely pointed out the tendency among Co-op Assn. Hear Report for Year At Annual Meeting Anaheim Cooperative Orange Association handled 946 carloads of oranges for its members in 1947, according to the report of T. E. Woodward, secretary-manager, at the annual meeting of the association held Thursday afternoon (February 5) at Knott's Berry Place. This was in volume 90 per cent more than was handled in 1946. J. A. Baker, chairman of the board of directors, conducted the business session which followed a dinner for which reservations for 275 persons had been made. Woodward's report showed that the association handled 8,036 field boxes of navel oranges and miscellaneous varieties, and 553,031 field boxes of Valencias. Sixty per cent of the Valencias moved in interstate channels. Thirty per cent of the packed box shipments consisted of 7-pound consumer type bags of which the association packed nearly a million. These bags were packed 10 to a master container which permitted moving them in refrigerator cars safely to eastern markets. Considering the whole season, Woodward reported that the 65,433 carloads of Valencia oranges produced in southern California in 1947 was 26 per cent more in volume than was produced in 1946. From the same acreage in the Association, the yield in 1947 was 96 per cent more per acre than in 1946. This higher yield and larger sizes resulted in lower picking costs. The quality of the Valencias was quite satisfactory. Only slight traces of fruit damage from low temperatures was found. Quality continued good until the end of the season. Picking began May 12 State Government Cost Climbs 35% During Past Year The cost of California's government for the 98th year ended June 30, 1947, climbed 35 per cent, according to filed released by State Controller Thomas H.

Of special note was his report of the chest x-ray service of November at El Toro and Lighter Than Air base where films were taken of the service men and their dependents; also of the students at Tustin, Capistrano, Anaheim and Newport high schools. Nearly 5,000 films were taken; the report showed that exclusive of service men, some 80 showed pathology either of the lungs or of the heart. The board authorized a second series of x-rays to be offered to high schools, certain elementary schools, and communities during February. The association, whose program includes protection of the community from the menace of tuberculosis, provides these x-ray surveys.
