Last dividend, also 25 cents a share, was paid on Sept. 14, from the surplus earned prior to July 31, 1951. Simultaneously with announcement of the new dividend, the company issued its unaudited statement covering results from operations during the quarter ended Oct. 31. Earnings before taxes amounted to $1,759,102. After providing $1,231,000 for estimated federal income and excess profits taxes, net profit for the quarter amounted to $528,-102, or 92 cents a share on the 575,039 shares of common stock outstanding. For the corresponding quarter of the preceding fiscal year, ended Oct. 31, 1950, the company reported earnings, of $685,000. Because Northrop had sustained a loss in prior years no income tax was payable on $685,000 profit, because of the loss-carry forward provisions of the internal revenue code.

George F. Meredith of Los Angeles, made this comparison yesterday in appearing before a state legislative committee hearing. Meredith urged passage of an Assembly bill that would give 90 per cent property tax exemption on all commercial fishing boats of 60 terns gross weight or move. City and county officials argued that an arbitrary percentage exemption would derice a 14-cent hike in San Diego's combined tax rates and that small boat owners would not be relieved.

Home Town Printers donated all printed publicity material while Mary Almight of Friis Traces Early History Of California Leo Friis, Anaheim attorney by profession and chronicler of California history by avocation, last night traced California history from its earliest Spanish records through the Civil War period for a large audience attending the Anaheim high school Forum. Mr. Friis developed the history of California with frequent reference to the events and people of the Anaheim area as they fit into the story and romance of the entire state. Portola Finds Orange County He related how the Portola expedition came into what is now Orange county when the little band of Spanish adventurers sought to find Monterey Bay by traveling overland from San Diego. One of Portola's men was Jose Antonio Yorba, who, while camped with the expedition near the present site of Olive, apparently conceived the plan which developed into the great Rancho de Santiago—an area which has been peopled by several generations of Yorbas. The Rancho, Mr. Friis pointed out, is the only Spanish land grant in Orange county. The other early grants were from Mexico. Mr. Friis explained that if Southern Californians were in a mood to brag they could claim the "first gold rush was in Southwestern California" Cause of Smog Damage to Food Discovered in LA Major smog components responsible for damage to vegetable crops in the Los Angeles area have been determined to be unsaturated hydrocarbons, main source of which is petroleum. This finding was reported to the Farm Advisor's office by the Citrus Experiment station in cooperation with the California Institute of Technology and Los Angeles Air Pollution Control district. Through evaporation, certain unsaturated hydrocarbons escape into the air and their vapors react with ozone or oxides of nitrogen. Products of this oxidation, in addition to certain other gases and vapors, enter plants and cause injury. In research conducted at Cal Tech's plant research laboratory, plants were exposed to vapors of chemicals found or suspected to be present in smoggy air. Several chemicals caused leaf damage, but only the unsaturated hydrocrabons, when mixed with ozone, produced injury typical of the Southern California smog belt. The same damage was caused when they were mixed with oxides of nitrogen under sunlight. Probably the most concentrated sources of the hydrocarbons are oil fields and oil refineries. But they may also emit in fumes from any kind of machine or furnace which burns petroleum fuels. Oil companies have for many years used measures to curtail the Vinson Predicts Early Approval Of UMT Program WASHINGTON (UP)—Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Armed Services committee today predicted early Congressional approval of legislation to put universal military training into operation. Back from a trip to Georgia Vinson announced that hearing on the legislation will start before his committee on Jan. 9. When Congress reconvenes on Jan. 8, he told newsmen, he will introduce a bill embodying the recommendations of the National Security Training commission created this year by Congress draft a UMT program. While Congress already has approved the principle of UMT, with six months of training for 10 year-olds, it must enact another law before a program can become effective. Without another law, no youth can be inducted for UMT. One of the lead-off witnesses for the Congressional hearing Vinson said, will be James Wadsworth of New York, chair man of the National Security Training commission and a former Senator and Representative. Vinson predicted that both committee and the House would approve the implementing legislation quickly. He conceded, however, that there may be some major revisions in the legislation suggested by the commission. hoirs Plus by 'Messiah' whittier college graduate soloist there for glee other organizations.

The Rancho, Mr. Friis pointed out, is the only Spanish land grant in Orange county. The other early grants were from Mexico. Mr. Friis explained that if Southern Californians were in a mood to brag they could claim the "first gold rush was in Southern California." He said that Francisco Lopez, while digging wild onions, found gold in Placerita canyon near Newhall. It caused a mild gold rush to Southern California six years before James W. Marshall discovered gold at Coloma (Sutter's Mill)—which started the big rush to California in 1848. Population Rushes In Mr. Friis told how General Sutter attempted to keep the discovery of gold a secret. But, it was impossible and the rush started which caused the population of California to jump from 14,000 to 112,000 in the year 1848. The speaker then shifted the emphasis of his talk to the San Francisco-Monterey area after he had described the gold rush. He told of the beginnings of the movement which culminated in a Constitutional convention at Monterey. U ANAHEIM WANT FOR BEST BUY...SELL RENT...LEASE... THROUGH GAZETTE WANT — ADS RENT ... LEASE ... LO THROUGH GAZETTE WANT — ADS Nation of California The proposed free-state of California, therefore, did not get immediate action on its petition to become a state. Because of the delay a movement was initiated to declare California an independent nation. Soon after, however, action was obtained in Congress to bring California into the Union on Sept. 9, 1850. Mr. Friis pointed out that shortly after California obtained statehood a movement to separate Northern and Southern California gained such momentum that a properly executed petition was sent to Congress asking that the southern part of California become a separate state to be named Colorado. The turbulent events of the Civil War, however, prevented any action being taken on the proposal. Throughout his talk, Mr. Friis injected several humorous events. In describing the condition of San Francisco streets in 1850, Mr. Friis related that a sign was posted at a busy street intersection which declared: “This street impassable, not even jackassable.” Johnny on the Spot addressed 5000 post cards to every family in the Anaheim area, stated Optimist President Harwood Larson and certainly no service club could have more loyal friends than the business concerns of this community that have made this sale possible.
