Legislature Faces Farm Labor Camp Disposal Problem (Continued from page 1) eral government decided to hold the leases, which expire June 30 of this year and continue the offer to the farm organizations. Seven out of the 21 organizations have signified willingness to buy, Drobish said. "However," he declared, "why should the Federal government sell at a low price, and then immediately turn around to develop more rural in some new program? If it retains possession of the camps, they could well become a part of the rural housing program that the present administration is committed to." Meanwhile, provisions could be made to continue leases on the camps beyond June 30, and permit farmer organizations to operate them, rather than the Federal government, he said. "Two years ago, I was uncertain as to what should be done with the camps," the senator stated, "but was inclined to the state purchase and operation program. I feel it would be best to take no action, and see how the thing developed." "Now, we have had an election, the new administration is committed to a program of rural housing, and these camps well could become a part of that program, thereby saving further expenditures." Drobish was active in establishing the farm labor camps throughout the state, and assisted in the purchase of the sites for them. $600,000 Bridge Proposed for Yorba Crossing Santa Ana river to a junction with the Santa Ana canyon highway, one of the principal highways from the coast to inland southern California. Meantime there was some evidence this week of strained relations between the Orange county safety council and the state highway department involving nothing more serious than the date on which a hearing was to be held on cutting down the trees still obscuring the Placentia-Yorba crossing. Elect Havens President of Realty Board Paul Havens was chosen president of the Anaheim Realty Board during the election of officers at a Christmas dinner party attended by members, wives and friends Monday night at Dorothy and Wade's restaurant. Outgoing president John Pickard presided during the business session. Other officers named to serve with Havens include Ralph Summers, first-vice president; La Verne Roquet, second vice-president and chairman of the Multiple Listing Division; Tom McLaughlin, secretary; Jean Baker, assistant secretary, and Frances Backs, state director. The Fullerton and Montebello boards will be held during the first part of January at Houston Meadows near Santa Fe Springs. Installing officer will be Edwin Pendleton, regional vice-president and member of the Anaheim board. Local committee members in charge of arrangements are Thelma Leigh, Walt Gooden and Fred Piepenbrink. Trustees Discuss School District Reorganization Whether parents and taxpayers should be satisfied with an antiquated division of small school districts in the progressive northern Orange county area was discussed at an informal meeting of the Orange county school district survey committee held in the Fullerton Union high school home economics building last week. The meeting was one of a series held in Orange county as a part of a statewide study designed to aid local communities in putting their educational organization into best possible shape to meet the unprecedented demands caused by the tremendous increase in birth rate during the war years and the influx of residents from other states to California. Dr. Lawrence White, regional representative of the State Commission on School Districts and a recognized authority, reviewed the desirability of reducing California's 2500 school districts to approximately 300 for the best welfare of youth. He stressed desirability of a single board of trustees and administration planning the educational program from kindergarten through junior college, rather than having two or three separate groups planning parts of the program without proper coordination. Unification would lead to efficiency, flexibility and economy as well as improved learning, according to White. Chester Gilpin of the Orange county schools office distributed figures showing that in the elementary, high schools and junior $600,000 Bridge Proposed for Yorba Crossing (Continued from page 1) Ana indicated that about forty more trees are to be cut down to improve visibility at the crossing. The news from Sacramento indicated the state planned much more radical improvement of "the worst railroad crossing in the state." It was announced in Sacramento this week that C. H. Purcell, state director of public works, had informed Sam Collins of Fullerton, member of the Assembly in whose district the crossing lies, that the state planned "a new bridge and an overhead which will cost approximately $600,000." Persons familiar with the situation were under the impression that the news from Sacramento and that given out in Santa Ana dealt with different things. It was believed the county traffic safety council was interested in immediate improvement of the present crossing while the state director of public works was talking about a longer-range program. This involves extending the Placentia-Yorba or Orangethorpe highway about a mile eastward from Esperanza street on the north side of the railway to a junction with a proposed extension of Imperial highway. At that point there appears to be an excellent location for a bridge which would cross both the Santa Fe railroad and the tary; Jean Baker, assistant secretary, and Frances Backs, state director. The Fullerton and Montebello boards will be held during the first part of January at Houston Meadows near Santa Fe Springs. Installing officer will be Edwin Pendleton, regional vice-president and member of the Anaheim board. Local committee members in charge of arrangements are Thelma Leigh, Walt Gooden and Fred Piepenbrink. A gift exchange highlighted the evening's entertainment program. Christmas carols were sung by the junior and junior high chorus of White Temple Methodist church under the direction of Mrs. Andy Andrews. Pickard, as retiring president, was presented a gift from the group by W. T. McAllister. Miss Backs, outgoing secretary, and her assistant, Miss Baker, each received an attractive gift from the board in appreciation for their past services. Margarita Puentes Passes on Sunday Margarita C. Puentes, 33 years of age, passed away at the Orange county hospital on Sunday, December 12. Born in Placentia, she had resided in that area her entire life, the family home being at 7062 Tafolla street, La Jolla colony. Surviving are her husband, Felix; two sons, Raul and Michael, and two daughters, Belia and Arlinda, all of the home.

Parents and taxpayers satisfied with an anti-immigration of small school in the progressive north-county area was disbanded informal meeting of county school district committee held in the Union high school home building last week. The was one of a series held county as a part of a study designed to aid counties in putting their organization into best shape to meet the unpreemensals caused by the increase in birth rate over war years and the incidents from other states. Erence White, regional director of the State Comprehensive School Districts and a authority, reviewed ability of reducing Californians' school districts to satisfy 300 for the best youth. He stressed defiance a single board of trust-administration planning national program from open through junior color than having two or moreate groups planning the program without coordination. Unification and efficiency, flexibility as well as immeasuring, according to Gilpin of the Orange schools office distributed showing that in the eleigh schools and junior erence in ability to support an educational program was shown with taxpayers in Buena Park having a low assessed value of $7.856 per pupil, whereas Olinda has $189.131 per pupil on which to levy taxes. This fact that within a relatively small geographical area one district is twenty-four times as able to support an educational program as another leads to efforts to equalize educational opportunities for future citizens. D. Russell Parks, chairman of the Orange county committee, reviewed work throughout Orange county and expressed encouragement that citizens were becoming better informed regarding this technical and important problem. Orange county superintendent Linton T. Simmons emphasized the serious need of a united front by school trustees and administrators to exert the considerable leadership required to keep inertia and provincial pride from blocking the best type of educational organization for children, youth and adults of northern Orange county. In addition to members of the Orange county redistricting committee, school trustees and administrators from Brea elementary, Brea-Olinda Union high school, Buena Park elementary, Fullerton elementary, Olinda elementary, Orangethorpe elementary, Placentia unified, and Yorba Linda elementary school districts of Orange county as well as Lowell joint elementary district of Orange and Los Angeles counties were present. Next meeting is scheduled for January 26, 1949, at Fullerton union high school.
