Elight Persons Die In Penn. Flames GARRETT, Pa. (AP)—Eight persons died in a series of fires in western Pennsylvania yesterday—Six of them children who perished as flames destroyed a frame house in this little coal mining town. Volunteer firemen battled smoke and flames for two hours in sub-freezing temperatures but were unable to rescue the six child victims of the Garrett fire. Five of the children were sons and daughters of Harvey Lee, 40, a welder, and his wife, Stella, 37. They were Kay, 15, Darlene, Seven, Danny, five, Laverne, three, and Linda Sue, two. The other victim was Clarence Lee, 15, brother of Mrs. Lee, whose maiden name was the same as that of her husband. Clarence was spending the night at his sister's house. Mr. and Mrs. Lee were out shopping when the fire broke out. When they learned of the blaze, they rushed home and stood helplessly by as firemen vainly tried to enter the flaming house. Firemen said the blaze apparently was started by a kitchen coal stove. The bodies of the children were found later in their second floor bedrooms. Another child, eight-month-old James Stover, burned to death in his crib in a farm house near Oil City, Pa. Firemen said the parents, Mr. and Hrs. Lester Stover, told them the crib apparently was...

In those days the town was considered to take in six and one half square miles with a population of 695... The assessed valuation was $629,335 with a tax rate for city purposes of $1. Although shown on most maps as a railroad center, no one ever heard Stanton parading itself as such. However, a branch of the Southern railroad, running from Anaheim to Los Alamitos interested the main line of the Pacific Electric Railway, running from Los Angeles to Santa Ana, in the heart of Stanton. Now that the passenger cars have been disbanded there is really no reason the shopping center has to be located on Stanton ave. When the new zoning map came out last Dec. 9 it did not show Main st., which goes east and west, as zoned for business, but the Chamber of Commerce had asked that it be zoned as such. It has become apparent in the last two weeks that many other people have the same thought and are investigating the possibility of moving their businesses to Cerritos ave., and to Main st. With about 3200 people living in the zone of influence of the oil industry investments in the five Pacific Coast states necessary to provide the lion's share—90 per cent—of all the energy consumed in the territory have boomed over the four billion dollar mark for the first time in history, it was revealed toady. The disclosure was made by Reese H. Taylor, president of the Western Oil and Gas Association. It was timed to coincide with the opening of the 30th annual meeting of the American Petroleum Institute in Los Angeles when the attention of the oil world will be focused on the west coast. The Association is host to the meeting, expected to be attended by 5000 oil men from throughout the United States. "In California alone," Taylor said, "oil companies have indicated their faith in the future of the west by investing more than $1,200,000,000 in capital assets since 1946." The particular importance of oil on the west coast is apparent, Taylor said, with the realization To do this job, the industry an investment of $4,310,282 these five states. Of tha $4,062,500,000 is located in formia where practically oil production and refinities are situated. The storage, distribution and marketing facilities of o-panies in the four other states is: Arizona, Nevada, $9,400,000; Oregon 800,000; and Washington 200,000. There are approximately 000 persons gainfully employe-the oil industry in the five Taylor said. Capital assets of the in this territory include 25,000 producing oil wells thousand miles of crude lines, numerous refineries a total daily capacity than 1,000,000 barrels of oil, tank cars, ocean-goers and vast storage facility Of the 149,000 persons for oil companies, 116 employed in California, Washington 10,381 in When the new zoning map came out last Dec. 9 it did not show Main st., which goes east and west, as zoned for business, but the Chamber of Commerce had asked that it be zoned as such.

With about 3200 people living in the zone of influence of the Stanton chamber the experts predict an increase to 6900 by 1960, it appears the area would do well to prepare herself for such expansion with a good face lifting.

Clem Meith, Tulare county farm advisor, who is quoted in the November issue of CITRUS LEAVES, the M. O. D. magazine. Since 1930, the production of apples in the United States has decreased 15 percent; prunes and plums, 23 percent; cantaloupes, 6 percent. On the other hand, peaches show an increase of 34 percent; and pears, a 27 percent increase over the 1930 production. The increase or decrease in production of these major fruit crops is shown graphically by the accompanying chart. ANAHEIM TRANSFER MOVING - STORAGE General Truck PHONE 2123 505 S. Los Angeles Anaheim Washington, D.C., Citizens Press for City Government to Replace Congress By ARTHUR L. EDSON WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's voters may not have thought much about it at the time, but last week they elected Washington's city council. For, among many other things that's what Congress is: city council for 800,000 voteless people who live in the District of Columbia. A lot of citizens living here object to this, and they're busy trying to convince Congress that it should give up the job. Advocates of home rule have put out a news release in which they say: It costs $80,000 a day to run Congress. So Congress should be fretting over something more important than how to regulate prices in local barber shops. The home rulers dredged up a few dates to boister their point. On August 14, U.S. forces in Korea launched their first counter attack. The House considered a bill to "regulate the running at large of goats in the District of Columbia." On September 11, Congress had beore it the question of an anti-subversive bill. The House found time to pass a bill to "regulate the disposal of dead human bodies in the District of Columbia." On September 13, President Truman asked for "early and favorable" action on a bill that would make Gen. George C. Marshall eligible to be secretary of seeing they're enforced. Washington citizens don't even name their own—if John L. Lewis will excuse the expression—dogcatcher. Under the proposed setup, Congress would delegate its authority to an elected district council. A home rule-bill has passed the Senate. It has been bottled up in the House, but a petition has been circulated in an attempt to get action. So far, 196 members have signed it. That's 22 shy of the 218 needed to force the legislation out on the floor for debate. No one can say whether enough signatures can be secured. And if the required number do sign, that's still no guarantee there will be time enough left for the bill to be passed before this Congress folds up next month, when all unpassed bills die. Still, the home rulers are optimistic. The present form of government began in 1874, and they say this is the closest the district has got to the ballot box in 75 years. On September 11, Congress had beore it the question of an anti-subversive bill. The House found time to pass a bill to "regulate the disposal of dead human bodies in the District of Columbia." On September 13, President Truman asked for "early and favorable" action on a bill that would make Gen. George C. Marshall eligible to be secretary of defense. The Senate passed a bill to preserve the architectural flavor of the Georgetown section of Washington. Under the present setup, Congress makes Washington's laws. Commissioners appointed by the President have the responsibility the figures are: California, $492,-674,000; Washington $55,862,000; Oregon, $36,463,000; Arizona, $17,-204,000 and Nevada, $4,652,000. Last year the industry paid $422,000,000 in federal, state and local taxes in these states. Tax payments to the states and their political subdivisions for the same year, including gasoline taxes, were: Arizona, $9,968,-000; California, $211,461,000; Nevada, $3,113,000; Oregon, $25,-861,000 and Washington, $34,791,-000 making a grand total of $285,194,000. The USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides," carried 24-pound guns, compared with the 18-pounders of British frigates of the time.

Of the 149,000 persons working for oil companies, 116,284 are employed in California, 15,900 in Washington, 10,381 in Oregon, 7,080 in Arizona and 1381 in Nevada. "Inasmuch as the average gainfully employed person is a family head representing 3.63 persons," Taylor said, "it is estimated that over 540,000 persons in the five states owe their support to the oil industry. Taking into account the personnel of supply businesses and other industries which are dependent upon the oil industry, it is safe to assume that more than 550,000 people receive their livelihood from this source." The Pacific coast oil industry last year paid $606,855,000 in salaries and wages to persons employed in the industry. By states, ANAHEIM TRUCK & TRANSFER CO.
