Acting Chief Stringer Announces Fire Prevention Week in Anaheim The nation's fire loss is surging upward and threatens to set a new all-time record this year, after showing a slight decline in 1949. Acting Chief Ed Stringer said today in announcing Fire Prevention Week which will be observed in Anaheim, October 8-14 by proclamation of President Truman. "The fire loss is shocking," the Chief declared. "The National Fire Protection association, sponsors of Fire Prevention Week, reports we are burning our homes and factories at the rate of almost $2,000,-000 a day. Daily, 30 people die and 740 homes are attacked by fire, along with 200 stores, 91 factories, 8 churches, 7 schools, and 2 hospitals." Fires in the City of Anaheim last year destroyed an estimated $14,-610 worth of property, Stringer reported. "Actually, 90 per cent of these fires can be prevented," he said. "Most fires occur simply because too many of us continue to play fast and loose with fire in the mistaken belief 'it can't happen to me'." During Fire Prevention Week, the Chief said it would be the objective of the Fire Department to educate everyone on the common causes of fire and the ways to eliminate them. "I cannot say too strongly or too often that fire prevention is largely the responsibility of every citizen. The Fire Department is busy "The Fire Department is busy refuse to accept their responsibility to themselves and to their community." JOHN LOMBARDI Rigolefto Opens SA Opera Season John Lombardi who sings the tragic role in Verdi's "Rigolefto" at the Santa Ana Union High School on October 12th is one of several noted American singers who will appear in the production, presented by the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music.

If sufficient numbers of producers and handlers with sufficient volume as required by law assent to the Marketing Order it will be made effective. A period of 90 days has been established in which to file written assents with the department. The Marketing Order was considered at a public hearing held in Los Angeles on September 14. Evidence and testimony was received by the department with respect to the provisions of the Marketing Order. The Marketing Order would provide for periodic allocations to handlers of the quantity of beans that may be prepared for market. This is a feature designed to result in a more orderly flow of beans to market. If the order is made effective an industry advisory board composed of 15 members will assist the director of agriculture in the administration of the Marketing Order. Of the 15 members, nine would be producers and six members would be handlers. Nominations for the initial advisory board were received at the public hearing. FASTER SERVICE ESCROWS Stephen & Stephen 108 W. Broadway - Anaheim (Opposite Post Office) PHONE 6893 John Lombardi who sings the tragic role in Verdi's "Rigoletto" at the Santa Ana Union High School on October 12th is one of several noted American singers who will appear in the production, presented by the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music. A native of Rome, Italy, Lombardi came to the United States at the age of eight, and soon attracted so much attention with his voice that he began his singing career in radio as a featured member of the "Kiddy Hour," sponsored by Gimbel Bros., of New York. Even at this age he so distinguished himself that he was chosen to appear on the National Radio Show, an honor accorded to the outstanding talents of the year. Since growing up he has concentrated on grand opera, and has appeared in the leading baritone roles of "I Pagliacci," "La Boheme," "Il Travatore," "The Masked Ball," "Rigoletto," and "The Barber of Seville." With this one-night performance of "Rigoletto" the Conservatory will continue its "Dollar Opera" policy, selling all seats at one dollar, plus the twenty cents federal tax.

Coast College Loan Sought Bids will be taken Oct. 17 by the board of supervisors for loaning $150,000 to Orange Coast college until tax-apportionment time. The college needs the money for operation purposes, and will repay by Dec. 31. The short-term loan sought is similar to those obtained by several other school districts in recent weeks. Farm Bureau Tells Nov. Ballot Stand The Orange County Farm Bureau, through the official action of its board of directors, has agreed with the state Farm Bureau and its legislative and research workers in recommendations concerning the 11 proposals to be found on the ballot by California voters on Nov. 7, according to Earl W. Laux, Garden Grove, new president of the organization. After weighing both sides of the arguments, the directors recommended a "yes" vote on the following matters: Proposition 2, which would prohibit naming persons to office in constitutional amendments; Proposition 3, which incorporates a study of the state Bar Association and the legislature into a reorganization of the inferior court system of California; A which facilitates the ordinance requiring tubercular testing of cattle and vaccination of hoofs; to prevent cholera probably will be passed by the board of supervisors tomorrow. It will be designed specifically for the rapidly-growing dairy industry of western Orange county, and to protect the quality of milk the cows give, by requiring that they be tubercular-free. A long conference brought about the board's decision not to charge for tuberculosis tests of cattle, pending determination of how much work will be involved by the county's livestock department, a part of the county health office. Dr. John H. Bower said that the tests probably will cost the county $1 each, but nobody seems to know how many will be given per year. He said that, of the estimated 22,000 dairy cattle in the county, about half are replaced each year. Swine must be vaccinated for cholera, their owners paying not more than $1.25 per head, including 50 cents for service and the rest for vaccine.

General Electric Employees Hear Of Pension Increases, Plan Changes The employees of the General Electric Company in Anaheim were informed Saturday that along with increases in pension payments to former employees now on pension, six major changes have been incorporated in the Pension Plan for those who retired after July 1, 1950. As previously announced, the minimum total retirement income including Social Security benefits of a participating employee who retires at 65 (60 for women) and has 25 years of full time credited service shall be $125 a month. This minimum is reduced ratably for employees with less than 25 but more than 15 years of service. Other changes were explained as follows: Employees who retire under the disability provisions of the plan will receive a minimum retirement income of $80 a month, the company said. All employees may acquire a vested right to their pensions after 20 years of credited service. Supplemental payments (which are made by the company until employees attain age 65) to employees with 15 or more years of credited service who retire before normal retirement age will be increased from $360 to $540 a year. Those who leave the company before they reach 60 years of age and receive their pensions under the vesting provisions of the plan are not eligible for these additional payments. The company's pension plan calls for contributions to the pension fund by employees on the basis of two per cent of the part of annual pay subject to the Social Security tax ($5600 after Jan. 1, 1950) and five per cent of any excess. Currently employees are contributing at the rate of two per cent of the first $5000 and five per cent of the excess. To help those employees, not actively at work because of temporary lack of work or illness, protect their contributions to the pension plan interest bearing loans will be made to such employees up to $300 or to the amount of the employee's contribution, whichever is smaller. Such loans will be repaid over a two-year period beginning when the employee returns to work.

Information about potential manpower resources in the event the need for workers becomes urgent is being sought in Anaheim and throughout California by the State Department of Employment, it was reported today by Herman V. Ziemer, manager of the department's local office here. "Steadily increasing employment throughout the state and the possibility that more workers may be urgently needed to staff essential industries points up the necessity of each community having a current and reasonably accurate inventory of its manpower potenpartment is, therefore, requesting persons who are not now seeking employment, but who would return to the labor force if and when they are needed, to register at our office." Mr. Ziemer emphasized that persons who register with the Department of Employment under the inventory program are not obligating themselves to accept immediate employment. They will be referred to job opportunities only when they express the desire to accept employment. The Fullerton office of the California Department of Employment is located at 719 S. Spadra rd., and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m., to 5 p.m. Junior College Sets Law Class "The individual comes in contact with many legal situations each day of his life. The crowded court calendars are evidence that the individual does not always meet these situations successfully," according to Warren Ferguson instructor in the class in Everyday Legal Problem. The class is a part of the Fullerton Evening Junior college fall program, and meets each Wednesday night from 7 to 9. Law as it relates to ownership, contracts, action of agents, negligence, wills and other personal documents will be the principal subjects considered, according to Ferguson, with aspects of criminal and constitutional law being considered when applicable. Registration for the law class is still open and may be made in Evening College office on the front arcade of the Fullerton High school campus, during the day or evening, Monday through Thursday." Thousands of hands work when you say "fill'er up" Most folks probably think of a corporation like ours in terms of a name..."Standard Oil Company of California." Actually, a company is people...people working together. In our case, 27,900 men and women work to bring you the products you buy from us. They each contribute special skills and abilities, live their own lives in many different places. You'll find their houses down the block, pass them on the street, sit next to them at a movie. In the extremely competitive oil business, it takes a lot of people—working with many expensive tools—to bring you good products at reasonable prices. For crude oil is a bulky, sticky liquid that's hard to handle. Taking oil from the ground, refining it, transporting it and pumping it into your car or oil burner is a continuous job...a job that can be done most efficiently when many people pool many talents within a coordinated organization. That's why thousands of hands work at Standard to bring you good products...and to make sure oil flows in steady supply to America's planes, tanks, trucks and ships in times of national emergency. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better Your progress and oil progress go hand in hand
