If California's growth continues at its present pro-proposed rate, wide open spaces someway will be just a memory. And according to Census bureau estimates, California is going to keep right on seeing the fastest-growing state in the Union. Having displaced Pennsylvania as the second largest state, the prediction is that California will shoot up to within two-million of New York's total population by 1990. New will deny that this continued population increase will be great for business and industry, but there are problems that so hand in hand with rapid growth. California's already overcrowded schools will have to be expanded far beyond prescriptions to accommodate the incoming type of pupils. Cities will be faced with aggravated problems of housing, transportation and traffic. Haral areas suddenly will become suburbs. Highway needs will mount. It's wonderful to be popular, and we wouldn't want to stop progress for a minute. But it is getting a bit crowded, isn't it; old timer? More and more handouts... When a family living on state relief asks permission to buy two television sets valued at $1000, it's about time to take a closer look at public aid to the needy.

The instance referred to involved a man does family receiving $250 a month in state welfare aid, according to a report made to a state assembly interim committee. The Santa Clara county grand jury, which looked into the disposition of welfare funds, pulled no punches in expressing its disgust at what it found. It charged that the program has become "questionable and debased," and that allotments made to needy children "frequently contribute neither to the genuine welfare of the individual recipients nor to the group wears." The grand jury declared that "apartment or home and children seems to be fostered by the enhanced income invaded upon so-called abandoned families." Spend more and more faster and faster seems to be the objective of the California welfare program, without sufficient concern for the welfare basis involved. The grand jury's smart offer reason to believe that state taxes and local taxes, too might well be cut substantially and funds still be provided for essential school construction and the like. If the loose and latent spending for welfare purposes was curtailed. The Santa Clara grand jury stated that approximately 75 per cent of all money collected on property taxes in that county is spent for welfare and welfare institutions. The overly charitable attitude which has developed on all governmental levels encourages laziness and irresponsibility at public expense. The need is not for more and tighter handouts, but for a right rein on welfare expenditures, and a return to the spirit of individual independence. The demand of the day is relief—from relief. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Ville of Amherst Gavelle By Mrs. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago February 1877 The fire company held a meeting at Planters' hotel last night. All fire apparatus was turned over to the town trustees and the marshal took them in charge. A meeting will be called to organize a new fire company.

And in Santa Ana on the same night, Hickey, the stable man, had three of his horses stolen. There are several townships yet to hear from. Capt. Geo. C. Knox had his hand badly bruised yesterday. He was engaged in regulating some part of the machinery of his new printing press, when his hand was caught by a spring. No bones were oroken, but it will require some time for the wounds to heal.

It is like a seesaw. The more Eisenhower's political strength goes down, the more Truman's incination to run goes up. Approximately one month ago the president had deemlessly denied he would not permit him to be drafted. In his own mind this was categoric, and to one or two of his most intimate friends, he so expressed himself. At that time, however, he firmly expected Eisenhower would be the Republican nominee, and Arman had no reason for opposing him, not only because he personally made a pledge to help like become president but also because he regarded him as unimportant. Since then however, the political scouts, both Republican and Democratic, report that Eisenhower's organization is limping and that the general, though having tremendous popular appeal, is in the naught of an inept group who can't translate popular appeal into delegates. As a result the president has been toying with the idea of running again—first, because he is trying to take on Bob Taft whom he thinks he can hear; second, because the Palace Guard is cleverly poking him up as the indispensable man.

MACARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO — The political announcement by Governor Earl Warren that he intends entering the Wisconsin primaries, although not unexpected, provided a highlight in State Capitol activities last week. At his regular press conference, attended by a large group of reporters and photographers, including eastern writers, the governor read a brief statement setting forth his intentions. Later, he parried questions designed if he had answered them, to get him into a controversy with other GOP candidates. The state's chief executive made it reasonably clear that in his campaigning for the presidency, he will not attack the views of Taft, Stassen, or Eisenhower, but merely will present his own views on government, and let the people or the convention make its choice. In his statement he said: "I personally know a number of Republicans who would serve faithfully and well as president of the United States. For all of them I have admiration and goodwill." The governor's decision to go into Wisconsin is considered an astute political move, for Wisconsin always has been considered on the liberal side of the Republic. ing for further tests more on the conservative of the Republican picture.

Two hundred and forty oddities were sent on their way the happy hunting grounds on today, as a result of a hunt on the part of a number of mighty nimrods of this city. The hunt was from Curtis' grove to Richfield. Rabbits are reported to be more plentiful than for years, scores being seen daily in the cactus by hunters out for an afternoon's sport. At noon the party sat down to an elaborate lunch which took up an hour. The hunt was later resumed and continued until 4 o'clock, when the party returned home. Mr. Spake and family have arrived from Texas and will make Anaheim their permanent home. Mr. Spake has purchased the Crist property on Broadway. He traveled extensively through Southern California in search of a location and selected Anaheim as the place of being the most healthful climate coupled with the most favorable advantages. District attorney R. Y. Williams has investigated a complaint filed by George W. Sherwood against the telephone company. The complaint is that of mutilating a row of shade trees next to his place in stringing a new line of wire. The case will be brought to the courts on an action charging the company with a misdemeanor. 25 Years Ago February, 1927 Masonic Homes of California, a corporation has brought action in Superior court against Florence Cole, J.

Miss Wilhelmina Zitzmann, his daughter who has also been employed by the bank will accompany the family, and with her father will be connected with a new financial institution to be opened in the city on March 1. "I personally know a number of Republican who would serve faithfully and well as president of the United States. For all of them I have admiration and goodwill." The governor's decision to go into Wisconsin is considered an astute political move, for Wisconsin always has been considered on the liberal side of the Republican party. In addition, Governor LaFollette is one of those who urged him to enter. Warren's liberal views are made to order for a state which initiated social reforms such as unemployment insurance even before the federal government passed laws on such subjects. A win in Wisconsin over Stassen and Taft, however, would not be a major test of strength for the California governor, but it would in effect, possibly set the wheels mov- Here and There California's motor vehicle registration reached an all-time in California in 1951, with 534 vehicles, including trucks, trailers and motor carrying paid state license lines are forming over or not to cut taxes by sales taxes, and increasing tax exemptions, at this time the legislature, in view of state's growing surplus; was sources applied for a permit the Federal Power Commission construct and operate the Feather River Project; anibly committee heard expert studied the problem of running motor vehicles report and stance of the report was the Public has to wait too long TV-RADIOLOGIC Desert Character Eyed For TV Western Roles By TOM E. DANSON APPLE VALLEY — As always, whenever coming to this "place in the sun," I meet a multitude of interesting people, with the most recent visit bringing forth several TV film producers who were oyeing the gorgeous desert expanse. Hal Boyle NEW YORK (UP)—Civilization would go to pot except for the bravery of women in small situations. The improvement of a culture depends upon things being done better and better, and it is women who generally insist that they be done better. For this their reward is often blame instead of the praise they deserve. Neither sex has a monopoly on courage. But they have different kinds. Man is a sucker for applause. He likes to do the big deed at the big moment with the spotlight centered on him and a band softly playing, "Onward Christian Soldier." He wants the hero in him, when it does come out under great stress, to be fully recognized. He yearns for the outspoken appreciation of the herd, and he feels hurt and angry if he doesn't get it. But women have the courage to meet the lonely moment, the anonymous valor to cope with the long boredom of such chores as housekeeping, and the firm for future western film settings. "There's everything we need, right in this locale," one of them told me, "to produce the outside scenes of accurate authenticity for western television films." The expanse of flat area, together with mountains at close range, plus the clearness of visibility and the most all-around ideal climatic conditions seemed to be predominant in his mind. Topper of the visit was the possible selection of one of Apple Valley's characters, Hugh Cooper, for a role in a western TV series. Interested in this fact, naturally, I talked with Hugh who told me that his move to the area was brought about by the illness of his wife. "She suffered almost all the time from a serious sinus condition," he said, "but after coming here, I have never heard a complaint." Hugh is really a desert character who has taken his move here seriously. He sports a heavy red-dish black beard, wears cowboy boots and jeans, and is always in the role he has assumed since his arrival. By trade, he is a brick-layer, kept busy with the extensive building now going on. According to genial Newton Bass, president of the Apple Valley Co., work is something Hugh does not have to look for. As he puts it, "Almost daily, something new is started here. Hugh has more than he can handle right now." If the film studies move out into the area for their outdoor ing for further tests in states more on the conservative side of the Republican picture. The Wisconsin primary is April 1, and one guess is as good as another as to which of the three candidates will be able to send the other two telegrams with just two words, "April Fool!" Highway Patrol Senator Randolph Collier's committee tackled a controversial subject—the question of more highway patrolmen. The scuttle but on this one is that many legislators feel Commissioner Clifford E. Peterson isn't keeping the highway patrolmen he's got on the job, and consequently, are not willing to put out more of the taxpayers' money for more men until they get service out of the present complement. This means that Peterson, the ex-chief of police from San Diego, will have a hard time convincing the budget session that he needs 200 more men. The assembly ways and means committee already has cut his request for the 200 in half. On the other hand, it's an accepted fact that patrolmen on the highways result in less speed and fewer accidents. Special Legislative Session If Governor Warren includes everything he's been asked for in his special session call, to run concurrently with the March budget session, legislators no doubt could contemplate a pleasant 1852 Christmas in Sacramento. However, from the governor's observations on the subject, he has no intention of opening the call wide up, especially on those subjects which were controversial during the 1951 session. At a special session, legislators may act only on matters included in the call. So far for sure, the call is ex- He wants the hero in him when it does come out under great stress, to be fully recognized. He yearns for the outspoken appreciation of the herd, and he feels hurt and angry if he doesn't get it. But women have the courage to meet the lonely moment, the anonymous valor to cope with the long boredom of such chores as housekeeping, and the firm bravery to fight for her small rights in the face of the public frown. A man's heroism is usually shown in the midst of noise and bloody battle and memorialized by phrases such as "don't give up the ship, boys," "damn the torpedoes—full speed ahead," or "you may fire when ready, Gridley." But a woman has no applause at the big moments of her lifetime. There are no cheers when she makes up her mind to marry a man nobody would bet on in a horse race, or goes through the Valley of Agony alone to give birth to a little dolt she knows may grow up and break her vallant heart. It takes courage to make these great gambles, but women have still another kind of courage that takes even more character. That is the courage to fight against the inertia of the solvenly, to see that things be done properly, that she gets value received in the small dealings between people that take up most of our lives. A man may boldly cry "don't give up the ship, boys" yet lack the downright guts it takes to tell a waiter, "this veal is undercooked. Take it back." He is a coward when it comes to what he calls "making a scene." No matter what he feels his rights are in small matters, he has a great big yellow streak about demanding them. A woman may be afraid of a mouse, but she isn't afraid of a louse. A louse is somebody who is trying to take money from you for not doing something he is being paid to do. Civilization is full of them and more. If the film studios move out into the area for their outdoor work, and Hugh is picked up for parts in these westerns, the place will be buzzing heavier than ever (more than even now, after the big change at the Inn, from American Plan to European Plan), with guys and dolls, hosses and cameras, and probably more fun than ever before. The search for talent is never ending, and apparently knows no locale. DOWN TV-RADIO ROW Looked pretty dreary for a while as to whether the new Al Pearce TV show would be seen on the West Coast. After many requests from faithful followers of Pearce's comedy complained, officials of KNXT, Channel 2, decided to open their station early in the morning and telecast this show. Results?

However, from the governor's observations on the subject, he has no intention of opening the call wide up, especially on those subjects which were controversial during the 1951 session. At a special session, legislators may act only on matters included in the call. So far for sure, the call is expected to include revision of joint tenancy laws and revision of laws pertaining to sex crimes and deviates. In the possible list, is the subject of approaches to San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. What also will be on the agenda no one knows at the present time, probably not even the governor. Public school financing, highway financing, veterans bond issues, water development, and other pertinent subjects have been called to the governor's attention. Here and There California's motor vehicle registration reached an all-time high in California in 1951, with 5,303-24 vehicles, including autos, trucks, trailers and motorycycles, carrying paid state licenses: battle lines are forming over whether or not to cut taxes by reducing sales taxes, and increasing income tax exemptions, at this session of the legislature, in view of the state's growing surplus; water resources applied for a permit from the Federal Power Commission to construct and operate the huge weather River Project; an assembly committee heard experts who studied the problem of registering motor vehicles report and subance of the report was that Mr. public has to wait too long in line, doesn't have the ready cash in January and really can't afford a license in February; Senate Finance Committee started digging its teeth into the state budget after hearing Chairman Ben Hulse of Imperial county declare the expenditures should be cut even further than recommended by the legislative auditor.
