A CAPELLA CHOIR SINGS AT PLACENTIA A musical concert program, directed by C.

Appearing with the group from this vicinity was Howard Blevins, La Habra, and Marjorie Schutte of Anaheim, octette accompanist. ed in 1895 by Senator and Mrs. Stanford as a memorial to Leland Stanford, Jr. School Expansion Recommended (Western News Service) A report to the legislature today by a committee authorized to make a survey of higher education in California recommended extensive expansions of the state's junior colleges, state colleges and university. The committee consisted of Dr. Monroe E. Deutsch, Dr. Aubrey Douglas, and Dr. George D. Strayer, appointed by the regents of the University of California and the State Department of education, who were authorized by the legislature to make the survey. The committee held that expansion of junior colleges beyond grade 14 was not feasible, urged the establishment of a state college in Sacramento, another in the Los Angeles metropolitan area as well as one for southeast Los Angeles and Orange counties. It also advocated expansion of Chico State college facilities to accommodate 3,000 students; said Humboldt State provides sufficient facilities for anticipated student growth, and pointed out the new campus of the San Francisco State college, with a 5,000 student capacity should provide additional space needed in that area. San Jose State, the report said, should have a capacity of 6,000 students; Fresno State, 5,000; California Polytechnic college at San Luis Obispo, 2,600 and San Diego State 5,000. The University of California, the report said, now has a 43,000 student attendance, and it is believed this will expand to 50,000. The report held campuses at Berkeley and Los Angeles should have a 20,000 student capacity; Santa Barbara, 3,500 undergraduates, and recommended that Davis should have a liberal arts college with a capacity of 4,800 students. Other dates and times when grunion may be stalked legally include March 13, between 10:00 in the evening and 11:30 o'clock March 14, 11 o'clock to midnight March 26, 10 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night March 28, 10:30 in the evening until 11:30 that night, and March 28 from 11:15 in the evening until 12:15 o'clock in the morning. Infra-Red Lights Fail in Frost Prevention Here Infrared lights don't put enough heat to protect orchards from a normal frost, says John Dobie, University of California College of Agriculture engineering who visited Orange county this week. Dobie has inspected orchards from San Diego to Chicago which have infrared systems. Robie also found that infrared lights are expensive. They cost about $200 per acre, more than twice the cost of oil heaters. Besides these actual experiences gathered from owners of infrared lights, Dobie said a laboratory showed "there was no sign of an frost protection from using infrared lights." Infrared lights, with the bulb inside an aluminum reflector, usually strung on wires about six feet above the tops of the trees. However, in some systems installed in 1940, no provision was made to raise the lights as the trees grow taller. Another objection was the failure to build the systems so the sagging lines could be tightened. Another study is under way to determine the effectiveness wind machines in the coastal areas like Orange county. Farm advisors Harold E. Wahlberg is collaborating with the university research staff in this area. than money in the bank! Prove that to yourself by building a financial reserve in a Bank of America savings account.

The University of California, the report said, now has a 43,000 student attendance, and it is believed this will expand to 50,000. The report held campuses at Berkeley and Los Angeles should have a 20,000 student capacity; Santa Barbara, 3,500 undergraduates, and recommended that Davis should have a liberal arts college with a capacity of 4,800 students in addition to agriculture and veterinary medicine. Also recommended was a new undergraduate liberal arts unit at Riverside, with a capacity of 2,500 students. The report urged that additional units of the university be established as the demand justifies. The report also made a recommendation of the establishment of 2,000 undergraduate subsistence scholarships, each paying $750 per year, with not more than this number to be in effect at any one time, and for 500 subsistence scholarships from the state for use in the graduate and professional schools of the university at $1,000 annually.

We slipped a little as compared with the month of January when we enlisted 60, but even so we don't think we did bad. Almost every section of the county was represented during the month and over 40 percent were men who had previously served in the Army, Navy, Marines or Coast Guard. Careful screening resulted in the rejection of 23 men who failed to measure up to the physical or mental standards of the Army or Air Force. Edward L. Wing, 17, son of Mrs. Vida Carlton, 5682 Vonnie Lane, Cypress, has signed for a three year enlistment in the Air Force. Wing has reported to the Lackland Air Force Base for his basic training. Upon completion of his basic training his present plans are to attend one of the Air Force's Technical Training schools. Incidently, the Lackland Air Force Base has a plan to aid the men who have finished basic training and who desire to come home on their first leave. Each month of his training they withhold $50 of his pay and when his training is completed he is paid in full.
