Later they were read to the throng at Hatfield's and when it was seen that Jeffries was getting the better of the argument the crowd was delighted and when it was announced that Mr. Fitzsimmons was "down and out" in the eleventh and last round, such a yell of satisfaction went up as had not been heard in Anaheim in many a long day.

County Interests Hail Final Draft Of Control Bill (Continued from page 1) state officials on the board would be the director of public works or state engineer as his alternate, director of public health, director of natural resources or the head of the department of fish and game, and the director of agriculture. The act states the water pollution policy to be reasonable standards of water purity consistent with beneficial use, and gives the state board broad powers of control, mostly duplicated for regional boards. The state board sets up administrative machinery and is required to allocate funds and furnish technical advice at the request of regional boards, and conduct hearings on any control matter at the request of any city, county or regional board. The bill represents four years of study, and its final draft was the work of a seven-man committee which included Blakeley. Extensive research and hearings conducted by the Dickey interim legislative committee figured in the final program. The completed bill brought Governor Earl Warren's approving comment: "It brings government closer to the people." Urge Immediate Control of Oriental Fly (Continued from page 1) out the United States and particularly to California, the solons recommended emergency appropriations of $199,000 to aid Hawaii in stamping out the pest. They further declared that California must be prepared to make even greater expenditures in the event the Federal government fails to take cognizance of the danger. Declaring that every agency in the territory both public and private are doing "an excellent job" in controlling the Oriental fly, they asserted the facilities there "are extremely limited" and assistance must be provided if the war against the pest is to be successful. In pointing to the greater danger of the Oriental fly as compared to that of the Mediterranean pest, the legislators declared that their survey showed almost all types of fruit, nuts, and flowers are host to the Oriental fly while hosts of the Mediterranean fly were far more limited. In addition, the Oriental fly is more aggressive and dominant and reproduces as many as ten generations within the year with each female fly producing as many as 600 eggs as compared to the larger but fewer in numbers of eggs produced by the Mediterranean insect. The legislators recommended an eleven point program for consideration in combatting the threat of infestation. They urged first on all Federal action stating the danger was not alone or even primarily to California, However, they warned that California must be prepared to take the lead in the fight. The program outlined included studies of chemical control, susceptibility of mainland agriculture co-operation by other continents America countries in keeping the pest out of the mainland, and educational programs including motion pictures of the activities of the insect in the islands. The actress Eleonora Duse played Juliet when she was only 14 years old. What is a Special And what is just an honest The "speed-up" and the "stretch-out" are favorite old battle cries in resisting improved output per worker. In the pick and shovel days—and in the early days of crude factory operation—there was all too frequently some justification for increased output per worker to be described in such terms: Then, "speed-up" too often meant more production at the expense of the worker. Now, constantly improving machinery enables the employee to get far greater production from a normal day's effort—well within all considerations of health and strength. Now in today's buyer's market we Americans can make the greatest progress we have made in a long time. Everyone is again seeking new designs and equipment and methods so that mechanical power and brain power can get more and better goods turned out at more attractive prices—with still just an honest day's physical effort. We in business—employees and management—are striving to make this progress because we have to. The customer is the boss again, and he is making us get rid of the wasteful, indulgent habits of boom times. The buyer is back in the driver's seat, and serving notice on us that he will not buy tinless we really take an interest in our work...begin to exercise our skill and ingenuity...cut out waste of material and motion and time...make sure we begin doing again exactly what he—our "customer-boss"—wants done. Even if it were still possible for some employer here in America to set inhuman standards and drive his employees to backbreaking toil, it could last for a very little while because the employees would rebel. Or, if they did not, mistakes would occur, quality and reliability would suffer, rejections would actually cut down the amount of good production accomplished, and costs would rise. No enlightened employer would fail to realize that asking good Even if it were still possible for some employer here in America to set inhuman standards and drive his employees to back-breaking toil, it could last for a very little while because the employees would rebel. Or, if they did not, mistakes would occur, quality and reliability would suffer, rejections would actually cut down the amount of good production accomplished, and costs would rise. No enlightened employer would fail to realize that asking good employees to work beyond their reasonably comfortable capacity would not only be contrary to the basic principle of putting the human considerations first, but also would be so shortsighted as The company whose management and employees start work efficiently and eagerly—in today's tough market—is the company products the fastest...offer the most attractive prices and best and so have the fewest layoffs...furnish the most and the steepest...and provide the greatest job security in the future. If more customers and create more jobs can be called uponize that there is now—instead of the old bad kind of speech. A LETTER TO THE EDITOR After all these years of service, the Woman's Relief Corps, Auxiliary to the G. A. R., decorating graves long before World War I, were left out of the program and nearly always omitted at the services. Also the boys of '98. The Spanish War Veterans were not mentioned either, though they alternate in services at Loma Vista and here. They do take part though they are only 50 years organized and the Relief Corps abut 69 or 70 years. Many of your subscribers are W. R. C. women, and although we feel it isn't always your fault, you print what is given you but being here so many years and even mentioning 25 years ago, the G. A. R. memorial for 72 mounds in the two cemeteries has grown to more now by far. Wm. E. Wobb took over after Rev. Markle left and that is at least 20 years ago. Anyway, just to say that though the Legion has been faithful in marking the graves with flags since they have been organized, the W. R. C. have decorated with flowers large or small, every soldier's grave every year in the Anaheim cemetery. —A Subscriber. (Editor's Note: This paper has nothing to do with the organizations nor procedure of the Memorial Day service. The copy is furnished us and through the courtesy of the Gazette, we furnish the printed programs, which has been our privilege for 63 years. We are sorry for the omission.) Job Printing At The Gazette a Speed-Up? at an honest day's work? to endanger the very life of the company along with the security of the jobs. In good times and bad General Electric tries honestly to pay what is right for a fair day's work. And we believe an honest day's work is made up of the full interest; care and skill of the General Electric employee in addition to what is regarded as a reasonable output of effort according to modern standards. It is not expected that General Electric employees will go home feeling fresher than when they came to work, although we sometimes wonder if our employees don't leave work Friday night a little less tired than when they come to work on Monday morning— after one of our American weekends. We know of no way any of us can do an honest day's work without going home at least a little tired; but that seems still well within what would be a fair price for the good pay, extra benefits, and other satisfactions we try to include in every General Electric job. If there are any cases of employees being subjected to the back-breaking work or other severe conditions deserving the name of "speed-up" or "stretch-out," it would be most amazing to all concerned. And it would be a real favor to the manager of any such employee to be told by the employee why he so regarded his job.

It angers people who are against progress... who don't want the American system to work. What some people are trying to tar-and-feather as the "speed-up" and "stretch-out" is simply that steady progress in lengthening men's arms... that substitution of mechanical effort for human effort... which makes it possible for each of us to get more done—for ourselves and each other—in the same time with the same or even less effort. Employees start working together the most quickly, efficiency is the company that will increase the quality of its attractive prices and best values... make the most sales... in the most and the steadiest jobs during the troubled period in the future. If making better products at lower prices jobs can be called a speed-up, then we have all got to rec- old bad kind of speed-up—a new kind of good speed-up. GE ELECTRIC
