February - March Relief Statistics General county relief in Orange county went to 494 people during February, 1954, up 53 per cent from the 323 on the rolls for February 1953, but 66 per cent less than the 1,452 on the rolls for March, 1950, when the over-all indigent rolls in California were at their postwar peak, California Taxpayer association said today. General county relief, the association pointed out, is the only kind of relief in California that is financed entirely from local taxes and is administered under rules and regulations set up by the local boards of supervisors in each county. Aids to the needy aged, blind, and children, administered by counties, are financed by the federal, state, and county governments. In the county, total relief to the county indigents during February, 1954, amounted to $8,161. Of this, $3,524 was in cash and $4,637 was "in kind"—distribution of surplus commodities, etc. During February 1953, total aid paid to the county indigent group was $6,712, with $3,821 in cash and $2,891 "in kind." During March, 1950, total aid reached $19,626, with $7,762 in cash and $11,864 "in kind." "General county relief reflects the first impact of changing employment patterns," the associia said, emphasizing that while the number receiving this kind of relief throughout the state has increased during the past year, it is still far below the 1950 postwar peak.

(over and above the $55,564,000 paid employees, the $21,821,000 that went to the tax collector and the $11,690,000 to stockholders), the lion's share — or $215,940,000—was divided among more than ten thousand companies and individuals we do business with. Some went for services. Some for materials. Some for wages. But all of the lion's share of Union Oil's 1953 gross income was reinvested in the American economy.
