Anticipate Huge State Census Figure In 1950 Sacramento, (WNS)—The rapid growth of California’s population, presaging a 1950 census figure which experts say may surprise everybody, was pictured today in a mid-year report of the state's working force by the state department of employment. From a civilian work force of slightly under three million men and women in the pre-war year of 1940, the report said, the working population in the state has grown to 4,467,000 as of mid-year 1949. And the department estimates that of this total work force or about nine percent, is unemployed. In a resume of current trends, the department said that the normal seasonal mid-year increase in employment failed to develop this year, as the total civilian employment in July was only 48,000 above January, the slack month. In 1947, the July total was 149,000 above the previous January total. The decrease in employment is attributed to reductions in agriculture and trade, and a corresponding less-than-seasonal decrease in manufacturing employment. “Few industries,” the department said, “reported year-to-year increases in employment to off-set decreases. Government was the major exception.” The figures on government employment in California, according to the department's report, showed 518,000 persons are being supported by the taxpayers, or nearly 12 percent of the working Few industries," the department said, "reported year-to-year increases in employment to off-set decreases. Government was the major exception." The figures on government employment in California, according to the department's report, showed 518,000 persons are being supported by the taxpayers, or nearly 12 percent of the working population of the state. In other words, 12 men and women working in private industry must support one public employee and his family. The figures indicate that government employment in California has nearly doubled during the past nine and a half years, as 257,000 public workers were on the taxpayers support list in 1940. On the other hand, as compared to a nearly 100 percent increase in the number of bureaucrats, the working population has increased only by about 33 percent, and nine percent of this working force can't find work at all. As another comparison, the employed working force of the state decreased in July of this year to 4,042,000 from 4,168,000 in July of 1947. But the number of persons employed by government increased from 492,000 in July of 1948 to 518,000 persons in July of this year. "Additionally," says the department, "the current period of economic readjustment has caused an increase in the duration of unemployment of members of the labor force, including those who have been receiving unemployment insurance benefits, and who continue to be unemployed following the expiration of such benefits." The report said that while during the early part of this year, the degree of unemployment in urban areas was "noticeably higher" than in the rural areas, this degree no longer exceeds the agricultural areas at the present time, and that the proportion of unemployment is about the same in urban and non-urban areas of the state.

Routine daily checking on each child's health for early notice of symptoms such as headache, nausea, muscle soreness and fever also was advised. With respect to schools to which children are transported in buses from widely separated areas or boarding schools, excluding colleges and universities, Dr. Van Riper said occasional exceptions may be made regarding school openings. These involve such situations as when a school is located in a high incidence area, and children are brought into that area from regions where the disease is not prevalent. "The thing to ask yourself is what would your child do if school were not open?" he concluded. "If your child would be just as exposed to possible contacts thru' busses, movies, church attendance and social gatherings, then obviously nothing will be gained by keeping him out of school—except Meanwhile the National Foundation reported that contributions addressed to POLIO, care of post offices throughout the country, were coming in steadily to bolster epidemic aid funds which were sufficient for only eleven days on September 8th. The total patient care bill for the National Foundation this year is estimated at $31,000,000 as compared with $17,000,000 last year. Beach Cities 'Bloc' Action In Sewer Program (Continued from page 1) The resolution passed by the four districts called for the purchase of the existing JOS facilities by the member cities; employment of Clyde L. Jenkins as chief engineer and general manager in charge of design and construction; employment of Ewald M. Lemcke as engineer in charge of of the Orange county system and agreement to construction and operation and provided in gineer's report of December 1948. Indication that district and 11 are consideringudent action was confirmed other resolution adopted ing Engineer Lemcke to revised figures for the tricts setting forth the construction by these four. The so-called opposition senting the beach cities port, Laguna and Costa Muntain and representing 20 per cent of the total c$8 million project ignore torney general's letter stained from action which and filed the letter. Charges by the oppose Jenkins was incompetent job were refuted with the of a letter by Julian Hieneral manager of the Me Water District, commen work of Jenkins. School Opening No Effect On Polio Epidemic The opening of schools on scheduled dates throughout the country, despite the occurrence this year of the largest infantile paralysis epidemic in history, is no cause for parents' alarm, even though thousands of new cases may be expected during the next weeks, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis declared today. The Foundation, now conducting a Polio Epidemic Emergency Drive to raise $14,500,000 to enable its chapters to care for an anticipated 40,000 cases by the end of the year, pointed out that new cases still are being reported at a rate of 3,000 a week. But experience shows that school openings never have affected the course of epidemic, either to abate or increase the incidence rate, according to Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director. Certain precautions should continue to be observed both at home and at school, he advised, but the assembling of pupils under one roof is not regarded in itself as hazardous. The majority of schools in incidence areas have opened or will open soon, in conformity with recommendations of a national conference of health authorities sponsored by the National Foundation early this summer, he added.

The majority of schools in incidence areas have opened or will open soon, in conformity with recommendations of a national conference of health authorities sponsored by the National Foundation early this summer, he added. Many inquiries from parents during the last week prompted Dr. Van Riper's statement. "The reasons for the recommendation regarding schools are three-fold," Dr. Van Riper explained. "First, closing schools or delaying their opening has not affected the course of outbreaks of poliomyelitis in the past. Indeed, such action often has resulted in public panic. Whatever is done to upset the usual routine of children in a household, or adults in their occupations, is likely to bring more trouble than good." "Second, since children usually play with other children in their neighborhood, they probably have had the same exposure to their playmates as they will have when school opens. And there usually is less supervision when schools are not in session, so early symptoms may not be spotted as promptly. Third, it is intimate contact between those who are infected and those who are susceptible that causes the spread of infantile paralysis. Normal school contacts do not involve intimate living, such as takes place in households. Merely sitting side by side in a schoolroom does not constitute intimate contact." Dr. Van Riper urged the continuance of such precautions as avoidance of over-fatigue, assurance of adequate rest and sleep, strict observance of cleanliness a disturbance of his normal pattern of life." as engineer in charge of operation of the Orange county sewerage system and agreement to the joint construction and operation agreement and provided in the Engineer's report of December 22, 1948. Indication that districts 1, 2, 3 and 11 are considering independent action was confirmed in another resolution adopted instructing Engineer Lemcke to compute revised figures for the four districts setting forth the costs of construction by these four alone. The so-called opposition representing the beach cities of Newport, Laguna and Costa Mesa, and Tustin and representing around 20 per cent of the total cost of the $8 million project ignored the attorney general's letter and abstained from action which received and filed the letter. Charges by the opposition that Jenkins was incompetent for the job were refuted with the reading of a letter by Julian Hinds, general manager of the Metropolitan Water District, commending the work of Jenkins. Jenkins while in the employ of the MWD was in charge of the design and construction of roads used in construction of the Colorado river aqueduct and upon completion of this was placed in charge of the planning and design of the feeder system which controls the flow of water to all of the member cities. The sudden reversal in policy by the beach cities to Engineer Jenkins has not been explained. At the outset of the present conflict he was one of the engineers recommended by them for the job. Upon his acceptance by districts 1, 2, 3 and 11, the beach cities placed him on their black list.
