Report Per Capita Water Need In Southland Averages 20 Tons Daily It takes about 20 tons of water daily to keep an adult in the style of life to which he is accustomed in California. This startling fact was developed by C. C. Elder, Chief Hydrographic Engineer of the Metropolitan Water District, who has been surveying the mounting water needs of southern California. Actually, of course, the amount of water consumed by Mr. Average Adult is only a small portion of this figure, something like a ton per year, Mr. Elder said. The rest of it must be supplied by Mother Nature to grow the things man needs to live on, as well as other additional but important uses of water. In analyzing this figure, Mr. Elder stated that the ton of water is used to wash down about 200 pounds of bread and a similar quantity of meat each year. Crop plants require 300 to 600 times their dry weight of water for transpiration losses, and including soil losses about 1,000 times. Meat production calls for fully ten times as much water as plant crops, so for every ton of water drunk, we actually "eat" another 4,400 tons of water, or that which is required to grow our food. "The average citizen doesn't realize how much water he needs to maintain this existence and that the water he drinks and uses on his lawn is only a small part of the total which must be supplied," said Mr. Elder. In commenting on water usage in Orange county, farm advisor Harold E. Wahlberg says that last year it is estimated that over 230,- G. I. Insurance Deadline Nears Veterans who took out National Service Life Insurance when they entered military service and have continued their original policy in force without any change are reminded by Ben Liebermann, Orange County Service Officer, that they will soon have to make a decision on the subject. The original NSLI term policies were issued for a period of five years, later automatically extended to eight years. Thus, a policy issued in 1941 will expire on the corresponding date this year. These term policies can be renewed for an additional period of five years, he continued, but only if the veteran himself takes the necessary action. Otherwise, the policy expires. New insurance can be taken out, but a physical examination will be necessary. If renewal of the original policy is desired, the veteran must make application for it before the eight-year expiration date. No physical Annual Native Sons Barbecue Set for July 26 An old-fashioned pit-barbecue dinner is scheduled for members of Mother Colony Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West and their families, who plan to attend the second annual barbecue July 26, Tuesday evening, at La Palma Park. Final plans for the big event will be formulated at the next regular monthly meeting July 18, beginning with a 7 o'clock dinner at the Mother Colony House restaurant, it was announced today. President Alexis Pelous will preside. General barbecue chairman is Lawrence Lemke assisted by Frank Watte, Henry Plou, Dave Lemke and Oscar Watte. Arrangements for "all the trimmings" to include rolls, butter, salad, coffee and dessert, will be under the chairmanship of Harold Rees assisted by Clark Smith, Ralph Beaty, Frank Salveson, Al Rothaermel and Robert Benner. Grant Seima is chairman in charge of tables, assisted by Herman Lehz Jim Tuffree and Ben Clayes will arrange for a varied entertainment program. Tickets, which may be obtained from all NSGW officers, are being handled by chairman Loren Wagner and Leonard Schwacofer and William Lester. New Sign Although a native of Canada, Fred Robins, paint store owner, proved himself a California enthusiast when he painted a sign If renewal of the original policy is desired, the veteran must make application for it before the eight-year expiration date. No physical examination will then be required. The premium rate will be higher since it will be based on the veteran's present age. Also, there is no grace period for the first premium on the new policy. It must be submitted, along with the renewal application, before the old policy expires. Term policies can be converted, at any time while they are in force, to one of the six permanent plans of NSLI. Veterans interested in this or any other aspect of National Life Insurance can get further information at the Orange County Service Office, 225 North Broadway (Phone KI 2-3516) Santa Ana. Governor Faced With a Growing Pile of Bills Sacramento (WNS)—With California's legislative machinery grinding to a halt the governor has, at this writing, signed over one-half the average number of bills enacted into law during a session of the state assembly and senate. Since 1911, an average of 905 bills have survived the legislative shuffle to wind up on the chief executive's desk and have his signature complete their trip into law. During this session a total of 523 have met Governor Earl Warren's approval, this is well over the average. However, since the governor has 30 days from the day of adjournment to sign bills he will have until August 1 to mull through the heap of senate and assembly measures and choose those he wishes to sign. Those he does not wish to act on automatically die a natural death on his desk. All legislative business is governed by the law of diminishing returns. Of the 905 average number issued in 1941 will expire on the corresponding date this year. These term policies can be renewed for an additional period of five years, he continued, but only if the veteran himself takes the necessary action. Otherwise, the policy expires. New insurance can be taken out, but a physical examination will be necessary.

However, since the governor has 30 days from the day of adjournment to sign bills he will have until August 1 to mull through the heap of senate and assembly measures and choose those he wishes to sign. Those he does not wish to act on automatically die a natural death on his desk. All legislative business is governed by the law of diminishing returns. Of the 905 average number of bills enacted into law, they are a winnowing of the average of 2,939 measures introduced at every session. The number of bills dumped into the hopper has grown at every regular session since 1911 when there were 2,873 introduced. The 1913 session saw a rise to 3,922 and a gradual climb to the record 5,647 bills introduced during this session. Added to these are the various resolutions and constitutional amendments to make a total of 5,647 measures requiring action of both houses. Since the governor has signed such a small amount of the total, theoretically there are 5,000 bills facing the legislature during the four remaining days of the session. However, most bills have died in committee either because their author refused to move them or the committee would not recommend them favorably. On July 2 when the legislators officially end their session, they are leaving the governor a large task for he must study the growing pile of bills dumped daily on his desk. Some he has already indicated he will not sign for they call for appropriations without necessary revenues to finance them. No matter how many measures remain after the solons have left Sacramento, it is a foregone conclusion only a fraction will become laws of the state. Cannon came into use in European warfare during the fourteenth century. Newspapers Score Freedom of Press Victory at Capital Sacramento, (WNS)—The California Newspaper Publishers Association last week won a victory for the freedom of the press following action taken by the senate judiciary committee. The association opposed passage of a measure authored by assemblyman Willard Huyck of Hollywood restricting the sale of comic books to persons over 18 years of age. An amendment adopted by the assembly exempted newspapers from the bill. Lowell Jessen, publisher of the Turlock Journal and president of the CNPA, told the senate committee the measure was regarded as an infringement on the freedom of the press. He said the newspapers had not asked for exemption. "That was something the proponents of the bill proposed themselves because they knew we are opposed to the measure," Jessen declared. "We are here as a matter of principle. We think this a form of censorship of the press." Ross Marshall, representing CNPA general manager John B. Long, told the committee the comic book issue was no different from the "Nick Carter and Frank Merriwell" issue of another generation. "What we read as youngsters was condemned by our elders just as some people are now attempting to regulate what the present younger generation shall read," Marshall stated. Mayor Bowron to Greet Lutheran Laymen Tonight Mayor Fletcher Bowron, of Los Angeles, will deliver the welcoming address at the Lutheran Laymen's League national convention which opens this evening, Thursday, June 30, at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel. Announcement was made today by Clarence Amling, chairman of the Program committee. The convention, which is the 32nd in the League's history, will continue through July 2. Outstanding Lutheran laymen from all over the United States and Canada as well as leading clerics will arrive in Los Angeles by special train June 29. Dr. Walter A. Maier, "the man of the Lutheran Hour" and perhaps the best known of the Lutheran ministers, arrives in Los Angeles by plane Tuesday, June 28, and will address the convention on Friday. In his speech, Dr. Maier will cover the radio progress of the Lutheran Hour, the world's largest religious radio broadcast and the effects of the broadcasts being beamed to Russia via Radio Luxembourg.

We think this a form of censorship of the press." Ross Marshall, representing CNPA general manager John B. Long, told the committee the comic book issue was no different from the "Nick Carter and Frank Merriwell" issue of another generation. "What we read as youngsters was condemned by our elders just as some people are now attempting to regulate what the present younger generation shall read," Marshall stated. Sacramento senator Earl Desmond ridiculed statements made by Hal Kennedy, Los Angeles county counsel, who charged the comic books were a major factor in juvenile delinquency. "That's just plain nonsense," Desmond stated. "You single out one youngster who gets into trouble and say nothing about the thousands of other children who are daily doing good deeds despite the fact they read these books which you think are so bad." Desmond said every one of the comic books he had seen point up the lesson that "crime doesn't pay." "Not one that I have seen ever heroizes the villain," he stated, "but on the contrary they always show the police victorious with right triumphant over all." Senator Byrl Salsman of Palo Alto, who accused Kennedy of promoting the measure to strengthen the Los Angeles county position in court action now challenging the validity of that county's ordinance against comic books, moved to table the bill. His motion carried. Polio Cases Rise to 25 Sacramento (WNS)—The number of polio cases reported to the State Department of Health last week rose to 25, according to a report released today.
