Report State Farm-Home Loan Plan For Vets Exhausted by August '50 Sacramento (WNS)—Funds available to loan veterans under the state’s farm and home loan plan will be exhausted by August 1950. This was reported by Lawrence C. Stevens, state director of veterans affairs, following the announcement by Governor Earl Warren that he will ask the legislature to make a proposed $100 million bond issue a special election issue next year. Emphasizing the fact the bond issue will not cost the taxpayers “one cent” Stevens pointed out the program has aided more than 35,000 California veterans in establishing homes since 1921. “The program is merely one of the state lending its credit to the veteran,” the director said. “The veteran pays the entire cost of the program and is benefitted by receiving a low interest loan.” He said few veterans have defaulted on their loans during the entire program “and only one since World War II.” A total of $210 million bonds have been authorized under the program to the present time and only $25 million remain to be sold. Stevens said the bonds have a ready market and bring a premium. “They are retired by the veterans payments which also pays for the entire cost of administration and for insurance which protects both the state and the veteran’s heirs in the event he dies before State High On Payments To Aged; Needy With about 7 per cent of the population of the United States, California provides aid to 10 per cent of the people in the country who are on the needy aged aid rolls, and the aid it provides is nearly 16 per cent of the total aid paid to the needy aged in the nation, California Taxpayers’ association reported. Throughout the state, 264,672 people were on the aged aid rolls for October, compared with the nation-wide of 2,679,906 for September. In Orange county, the aged rolls reached 5,465 for October. Total aid paid to the needy aged in California for October was $18,-723,603, compared with the national total of $119,136,640 for Sep- A total of $210 million bonds have been authorized under the program to the present time and only $25 million remain to be sold. Stevens said the bonds have a ready market and bring a premium. "They are retired by the veterans payments which also pays for the entire cost of administration and for insurance which protects both the state and the veteran's heirs in the event he dies before the loan is repaid." One of the questions I'm asked by most men elisting is: "Just how tough is Air Force basic training?" It seems the men who sign up know about wartime basic training—the mud, the long marches—the dust, and all the other annoying things that are necessary during the war. But things have changed now. I've just received a list of the classes each man takes during his training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. The biggest thing I noticed is the 55 hours of mathematics on the schedule. The men with experience in high school math are being used to teach those not so well acquainted with the subject. Because of the new technical school requirements, mathematics are a must for all airmen. With 80 per cent of all men going directly to AF schools, and the rest to on-the-job training courses, basic training is darned important. Besides the math, each airman gets training in Aircraft power plants and aerodynamics, Airdrome defense, Artic, desert and tropical survival, and atomic, biological and chemical warfare. There are courses in weather, first air, guided missiles, leadership training, map reading, markmanship, and camouflage. They cover just about everything that will be of use to an airman when he joins his outfit—and the training's interesting. I get letters every month from men who passed the rigid qualifications for AF training. They all say one thing—"We like Lackland training."—and that's the best recommendation I can think of paid to the needy aged in the nation, California Taxpayers' association reported. Throughout the state, 264,672 people were on the aged aid rolls for October, compared with the nation-wide of 2,679,906 for September. In Orange county, the aged rolls reached 5,465 for October. Total aid paid to the needy aged in California for October was $18,-723,603, compared with the national total of $119,136,640 for September. Payments in the county for October amounted to $381,297. Average paid per recipient in California for October was $70.74—the nationwide average for September was $44.46. Average payment in the county for October was $69.77. In December, 1948, California's aged aid rolls amounted to 8 per cent of the nation-wide total, and total aid paid in California was 11.5 per cent of the national bill. "Tax savings—reduction in costs—was one of the major reasons the people of California approved Proposition No. 2 on November 8," the Taxpayers' organization declared. "Substantial reductions in costs should result from repeal of the constitutional provision which had put 63 and 64 year olds in the aged category. "Reinstatement of the law covering the contribution of financially able relatives toward the care Compton. "The selection of a permanent site for the college and the erection of permanent buildings will enlarge capacity to some five thousand students. But the high scholastic standards upon which we will always insist are being established with the small, high calibre student body now enrolled. "We are very anxious for the people of this area—southeast Los Angeles county and Orange county—to see their new state college and to learn what this youngest of the state's institutions of higher education is expected to contribute to the cultural, educational and economic life of the area in the future." That is our purpose in designating this Sunday afternoon as the time for open house Administrative and instructional staffs of the college will be on hand to greet visitors and show them around. And it is our hope that all who are interested in this school as cultural and educational bulwark of the community will attend." PLAN TO MARRY A marriage license was obtained by Ramon F. Sanchez, 1078 Garza avenue, and Lydia Sanchez Avalos, 10881 Gilbert street, both of Anaheim, late last week at the county court house in Santa Ana.

If you have a yen for the healthy outdoor life in the Regular Army—I can fix you up. Right now there are openings in a lot of choice jobs. You have your pick of Armored Cavalry, Infantry, Artillery, Anti-Aircraft Artillery, of the Corps of Engineers. No matter what skill you have, there's a job for you in the Regular Army. If you're looking for the experience necessary to make a successful carer—you can get training in the Army. And it's a good training, that can't be duplicated anywhere. Even if you're just shopping for a job—fry the Army. Drop into my office at the City Hall in Fullerton and investigate. You're not obligated in any way, and the Army won't force you. We want men who realize a good thing when they see it. And, today, the Army is a good thing. Two Orange county men knew a good thing when they saw it, are Leslie I. Bean of 406 Homewood Ave., Buena Park, and W. J. Stevenson of La Habra Heights. Bean enlisted for 3 years in the Regular Army and will take his basic training at Ft. Ord, at Monterey and Stevenson enlisted for 4 years in the U.S.Air Force and will take his basic training at Lackland Air Base near San Antonio, Texas. It will pay you to advertise in the Anaheim Gazette. One day back in 1907, a Standard of California man stood watching a line of impatient motorists in goggles and linen dusters waiting to buy five-gallon cans of gasoline at Standard's Seattle plant. He had an idea for serving customers more efficiently, more conveniently. The next day a thirty-gallon tank which had been a kitchen water heater was installed opposite the main gate at the plant. To it were attached a valve-controlled hose and a glass gauge...so gas could be poured directly into the customers' cars. That makeshift arrangement was the first service station in America. Today there are more than 10,000 Company and Independent Dealer stations selling Standard of California products.

Tallman, director of mental hygiene. Stating provisions of a 1949 law permit the state to accept persons who wish to voluntarily commit themselves, Tallman said any person who seeks admission will be accepted. He said such persons may receive treatment in a state hospital for a period of two years. “This does not mean that the person will be kept in the hospital for that period,” Dr. Tallman said. “We plan to place such patients on leave of absence as early as possible with follow-up phychiatric care through the out-patient clinic services of the hospital and community mental hygiene clinics.” At the same time Tallman disclosed his department is speeding the construction of a maximum security hospital at Atascadero (San Luis Obispo county) to care for the criminally insane. “We plan to have a staff for intensive treatment and to be in a position to undertake extensive research and study the various aspects of prevention, care and treatment of these cases,” Tallman stated. 80% Cotton Crop Ginned Sacramento (WNS) — Approximately 80 per cent of California Urge Motorists To Check ’49 Registrations Sacramento, (WNS)—Motor vehicle director A. H. Henderson today urged California motorists to check their 1950 potential registration cards carefully when received. Mailing of potential registrations cards on trucks and trailers is under way and those for automobiles and motorcycles will be mailed beginning Dec. 15. Henderson said the potentials, which bear the amount of fees due for 1950, should be checked carefully to ascertain if the vehicle described is still in the recipient’s possession. “Because of many late transfers, registered owners in some cases may receive potential registration cards for vehicles they no longer own,” Henderson explained. “In such cases, the potential should be destroyed in compliance with instructions on the reverse side of the second copy. In no event should they be forwarded to the new owner.” If a potential registration card is not received for the new vehicle by January 15th, the registered owner should apply for renewal, using his 1949 registration card. The annual registration renewal period opens January 3rd. Fees may be paid without penalty up to midnight February 4th.

The cotton production prediction for this year remains at 1,300,000 bales of 500 pounds, making California the fourth state in total cotton production for the year, toped only by Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi. The production will be from 957,000 acres, indicating an equivalent of 651 pounds of lint to the acre, which is nearly three times the national average of 285.8 pounds. Throughout the United States, 26,898,000 acres are planted to cotton, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the report shows, had 13,976,000 bales of cotton ginned as of December 1. The temperature of the human body was formerly used as the base point for thermometers. BIRTHSTONE RINGS Richly styled for men and women.

Millions of them have gone to college—and to a great many other places. Racing's dollars, accrued in the form of direct taxes paid the State, help support the University of California Agricultural School at Davis, the California Polytechnic College at San Luis Obispo, the latter's citrus branch at San Dimas, and other State colleges. Racing's dollars also support State, District and County agricultural fairs which have played a large part in making California the first agricultural State of the nation, citrus fruit fairs, wildlife restoration, the Poultry Improvement Commission, State Employees' Retirement System, State Relief Administration and the State General Fund. A report for the fiscal year of 1948-49 shows that 37.22% of Santa Anita's dollars was paid in taxes to the State of California. Another 10.6% went for city, county and Federal taxes. Thus 47.82% of the total revenue realized by Santa Anita was absorbed in taxes. The expense of operating one of the world's great racetracks accounted for another 41.64%. Charity benefited from 3.07% of racing's dollars. 2.61% of racing revenue was retained for the expansion of Santa Anita's plant and facilities. Another 5.40% was paid in cash dividends to stockholders, who are more than 90% residents of California. A very large percentage of every racing dollar is returned to California citizens for the support of such worthy causes as their fairs, their educational institutions, their relief system and their conservation programs.
