Aggy Chiefs To Hear Expert On Formosan Pest First-hand information on the Formosan fruit fly, which has brought great damage to Hawaiian fruit crops, will be presented to California County Agricultural Commissioners at a meeting to be held at Shasta Springs (Siskiyou county) late this month. State director of agriculture, A. A. Brock, said he has invited Colin G. Lennox, president of the Board of Agriculture and Forestry of the Hawaiian Islands, to present information concerning the Formosan and other fruit flies to the commissioners. He said the danger of migration to California of these pests is imminent and that congress is currently being urged to appropriate at least $100,000 to the Federal Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine to combat the insects. "The presence of these pests in Hawaii creates a national problem and the damage such pests can do to horticultural crops constitutes a serious menace to the fruit industry of the United States," Brock declared. "The rapidly expanding air traffic from the islands brings the problem right to the door of California." Brock stated he has requested the state senate to consider steps to be taken to guard against the migration of the Formosan fly to California. "The federal government, however," the director said, "should be developing natural enemies of the fly by research at this time."

"More for Your Building Dollar" Manchester South of Lincoln — ANAHEIM WALT TAYLOR, Mgr. Salvation Army Has Candidate For 'Meanest' Residents of Los Angeles and Orange county communities are being warned against "meanest" racketeers who are reported hijacking loads of salvage material intended for helping hundreds of needy men to earn a living. The Salvation Army and the few other welfare groups authorized to engage in salvage collections for humanitarian purposes, have informed city authorities and Better Business Bureau officials in various localities of reports which indicate that a ring of racketeers, using rented trucks and preying upon kind-hearted citizens, watch the progress of authorized salvage campaigns and pick up loads of salvage put out for the legitimate aid agencies. Major Orlo Ellison of Long Beach, district manager of the Salvation Army's social service department, has issued warnings against permitting unidentified and unauthorized persons to make such collections. In the meantime, he and representatives of other humanitarian agencies are seeking official action to break up the apparently organized racketeering. Salvation Army employees assertedly have been approached by men who attempted to buy their lists of calls, or offered to pay cash for salvage already collected. More than 1,000 are given daily employment, wages, living quarters, "and self respect," Major Ellison states, through legitimate salvage collection programs in this part of southern California. City officials and other prominent citizens, impressed by the objectives and visible results of these programs, accept leadership in the annual salvage campaigns which make them possible. C. J.
