One Way to Settle Check LONG BEACH—Lincoln Park is just across the street from the police station. When someone ran in last night and told the cops of a big fight in the park, the riot squad rolled out. Sure enough, the police found a big crowd and two sailors wrestling on the ground. They broke it up and hauled the Mid-dies back across the street. “What's the trouble?” one asked. “We were just trying to see who'd buy the next beer.” Police let them go, after a lecture and the pair adjourned, arm-in-arm, to a nearby bar. County Chambers Slate Meeting The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county will hold a general membership meeting September 26 at 7 p.m., at Sams Sea Food Spa on Ocean blvd., in Sunset Beach. Brig. Gen. S. E. Ridderhof (ret.), chairman of the association's military affairs committee, will be master of ceremonies. Guest speaker will be Lt. Col. E. Mendenhall, of El Toro Marine base, and L. A. Patch, newly appointed civilian defense coordinator of Orange county. Herbert Baus, Los Angeles, and Clark Galloway, California State Chamber of Commerce, will discuss Proposition No. 1 which proposes to exempt personal property from taxation. UC Studies Blocks to Conservation Conservation of natural resources, normally considered a technological field, is highly complicated by economic and social problems. Those problems are being studied under a project of the University of California college of agricultural, Director of the project is Dr. S. V. Wantrup, Agricultural Ecopomist in the experiment station. Renewable resources such as soil, water, range and forest are frequently depleted not because their users do not want to conserve them or do not know how to conserve them, but because farmers, cattlemen and lumber operators feel they can not afford conservation practices under existing conditions. Ironically, many of the economic conditions which hinder conservation are man made. The purpose of the U.C. project is to study how these conditions can be made to work for rather than against conservation. Among them are the following: The tenure of resource users (property rights, laws and customs of tenancy, leasing of public lands); taxation of resources (especially the burden of property and inheritance taxes); the credit system (availability of loans, interest rates, possibilities for deferred payments); economic instability (booms, depressions; inconsistency of governmental regulations). The project also investigates whether federal, state and local laws, regulations and large expenditures of public funds directed at resource conservation in recent years are insufficient with each other, and whether their administration is effectively coordinated among the many governmental agencies involved. Thus, a major objective of the college of agriculture's project is to answer the need for an appraisal of the objectives, criteria and tools of public conservation policies.

ANAHEIM BUILDING & LOAN ASSOCIATION Member Federal Home Loan Bank System Corner Center & Lemon Sts. Anaheim, Calif. Manchester Shops (Continued from Page 1) Of course, it is impossible for them to predict just exactly what that trend will be, but most of them aren't too hopeful. Principal grievance here seems to be the proposed divider to be placed down the middle of the highway. "We used to get quite a bit of the business from people cutting across the highway," one said. "With the divider out there we'll only get on-way business now." Service stations, which take up a healthy portion of the intersection's area, have dropped about 33 per cent in business, according to their operators. Actually, the stations are nearly always deserted during the week, since the weekend business has not fallen off too much. "People who travel over the weekend still use this road quite a bit," one explained. "It's mostly the local people who are hurting us. They know that this road is being repaired and they find some way to go around it." But it is the small businesses—the orange juice spots, cafes and roadside stands—that have taken the real beating. One orange juice stand proprietor is just about ready to give up—except that now he can't find anyone who will buy his equipment. Business in which he used to be able to make enough to start a bank account has now dribbled down to the point where $4000 has been lost since the start of the Manchester building binge. Last year this used to be a two-person job. This year the proprietor has left his wife in charge. He had to go get another job in order to keep the two of them alive. On Monday this flourishing little establishment took in $2.25 in trade. Last month's receipts totaled $62. Expenditures amounted to $72. Tax Payers' Association Warns Against Proposition 1 Passage "Nobody knows where the cost of Proposition No. 1 would fall, but if the assessors adopted the device of increasing valuations to meet the crisis which passage of the measure would cause, real property owners in Orange county might face an increase of 12 per cent."

Proposition No. 1 proposes to exempt all personal property from taxation, the association explained. If Proposition No. 1 is not defeated, it will wipe out the base for nearly $20,000,000 of tax revenue of the counties, cities, school districts, and special district in the state, as well as the state itself, the association explained. Stated another way, if Proposition No. 1 passes, the schools, cities, counties, and other units would lose $200,000,000 of taxes which are now based on personal property. "The $200,000,000 of taxes would have to be raised from some other source," the Taxpayers' association warned. "If it were put on real property—and assessed valuations were increased to raise the necessary amount—they would go up 12 per cent in Orange county. In other counties they would go up in other amounts, ranging from seven per cent in Alpine county to 81 per cent in Modoc county and 59 per cent in Lassen county. Statewide, they would go up an average of 26 per cent." "If the $200,000,000 were to be raised by a statewide sales tax, it would mean an addition of about two per cent (two cents per dollar) to the present three per cent state sales tax. "Nothing in Proposition No. 1 carries even the promise of economy in government or reduction in public expenditures—which is the only real way taxes can be reduced," the Taxpayers' association declared.

"Young men who are puzzled whether to enter the armed services or to go on to college are advised to continue their educational training." This was the main point emphasized by Lt. Donald G. Page and his staff from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force Southern Recruiting District who met this week with Superintendent Lynn H. Crawford, Director Daniel C. McNaughton and Dr. Andrew Roberts of Santa Ana College and Vice-Principal John E. Johnson of Santa Ana High school. Lt. Page and his staff explained that if young people wish to go far as possible in the military service, it is advisable for them to complete as much academic work as possible. Young men in Santa Ana or vicinity of, or near, draft age, should definitely consult with Santa Ana College authorities prior to making any decision. The educated man is one who is sought after by both the armed services and civilian employers, so it is wise for both parents and their sons and daughters to consider carefully the opportunities and advantages of further educational training. Tentative plans for setting up a liaison service between the recruiting service and Santa Ana College were discussed at length that students might confer with members of the armed services while on the college campus.
