Legislators Slate With Adult Education By HENRY C. McARTHUR Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO — Public hearings by the legislature are slated to commence soon after the primary elections on one of the known problems with which the state is confronted. This is the adult education program which has been rapidly expanding since World War II. The annual cost to the state for adult education will exceed $500,000 this year, which is double the 1947 cost and several times more than the pre-war costs. Further the adult education program is being rapidly expanded at the expense of the school children in elementary and secondary grades. Impetus of the expansion has been the state's peculiar financing of the program which has made adult education a profitable operation for most school districts. When these facts became known to the legislature, the senate voted Armed Forces Day Observances Planned Throughout So. California Southern California communities will join the nation on Armed Forces Day, Saturday, May 17, to pay tribute to the men and women in uniform, thousands of whom are engaged in guarding our freedom on Korean battlefields, and at far flung posts throughout the world. "Unity-Strength-Freedom" has been announced as this year's theme by Secretary of Defense Robert A. Lovett. He said that Armed Forces Day should be set aside as a day to give the public a "broad view of the nation's defense strength." In charge of military participation in the Southern California area is Maj. Gen. William B. Kean, commanding general of the III Corps and Fort MacArthur. Assisting him in this operation as executive officer is Col. Charles C. Cavender, chief of the Southern California sub-district. Local community committees are being formed to plan parades, exhibits, religious services, ceremonies and other special events as part of the day's activities. Joining with these groups will be all active and civilian components of the military services. Included in tentative plans of the armed forces will be numerous "open house" celebrations at Southern California military installations to give the public the opportunity to see their "defense team" and some of the nation's newest fighting equipment. Massed flights of aircraft from the Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, including reserve air squadrons, will be made over many cities. Troops and equipment will be displayed by the armed forces in as many communities as possible. All civilian components of the armed forces are planning military balls and other social events as part of the third annual Armed Forces Day celebration. Avocado Group To Tour County On Field Trip Eight subtropical plantings in Orange county will be visited on May 1 by members of the subtropical fruit committee of the California Avocado society. This is the annual inspection and study tour of the group of which Dr. Arthur Schroeder of UCLA is chairman. The Orange county tour has been arranged by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg who will direct the group through the county. The eight stops during the day will include plantings of macadamia nuts, guavas, feijoaas, mangoes, cherimoyas, papayas, loquats, sapotas and other subtropicals. Macadamia nuts will be observed at the Hall place, Santa Ana; mangoes at the Frank Crane's place, Lemon Heights; papayas at A. E. Stiles, Lemon Heights; sapotas at Irvine ranch; guavas at Kozina place, Villa Park; cherimoyas at Holt place, La Habra; and other subtropicals at the James Tuffree place, Placentia. Elwood Trask, secretary of the committee, and Farm Advisor Don Gustufson will discuss findings of the field trip on the Farm Forum broadcast on KVOE that day, May 1 at 12:15 p.m. Further the adult education program is being rapidly expanded at the expense of the school children in elementary and secondary grades. Impetus of the expansion has been the state's peculiar financing of the program which has made adult education a profitabler operation for most school districts. When these facts became known to the legislature, the senate voted to undertake a study of the current program and its financing to determine the objectives of adult education and to prescribe, if necessary, limitations of state support. The study, admittedly a tough assignment because of resistance by educators to legislative interference in school programs, was handed to Senator Harold T. Johnson of Roseville by the senate rules committee. The senate certainly did not do Johnson a great big favor in placing him in a position where he is liable to be the target for all kinds of political brickbats thrown by the well-organized teachers engaged in adult education. But their selection of the former Roseville mayor, who is completing his first term in the senate, was a real tribute to him. For the appointing powers of the senate recognized that the man who undertook any reform in adult education would have to possess tremendous ability and good judgment, be both fair and at the same time tough, and above all have plenty of good old intestinal fortitude. He would have to possess also a good understanding of the operations of schools and school financing and not have been labeled as an anti-public education man. On top of the compliment paid to Senator Johnson by the knowledge that he possessed all of the qualifications desired, there was Anaheim Area Soldiers Receive Promotions, Awards, Go-Nome Orders Annaheim soldiers were highly awarded the Combat Infantry Badge while fighting the 40th Infantry Division in central Korean front.

These facts became known disillusioned the senate voted the further compliment that he was selected over and above several members who were desirous of heading up the committee and who had a better claim to the job by reason of seniority. What is not generally known is the greatest tribute to the senator of all. For Johnson did not seek the job and bucked like a Missouri mule when the post was first suggested to him. But when it was pointed out that there was a real need for the study, he demonstrated the greatness so rare in elected officials, of accepting the responsibility for a job which he recognized would result in unfair criticism of him. That this unfortunately is true has already been demonstrated. Despite the fact that Senator Johnson has made no public statements concerning conclusions or recommendations as to the course adult education should follow in the future he has already been BUY...SELL RENT...LEASE...
