'Progress Report' By Governor Brown In drumming up support for the $1.75 billion water bond issue which will appear on the November ballot, Governor Edmund G. Brown said, "This should not be Republicans against Democrats or Democrats against Republicans. This is something all of California needs now." In a hands-across-the-border, good-neighbor gesture, Governor Brown also took steps to determine who California can assist in alleviating a "dangerous" water shortage in Baja California. The governor dispatched his special counsel on water, Ralph Brody, to the area in response to a plea for help from Baja California Governor Eligio Osquivel Mendez. Brody confirmed that there is an acute water shortage in Tijuana which is presenting a "dangerous health hazard." "California certainly will do all it can to give aid to our neighbor nation in this emergency," Governor Brown said. "We have our own water problems in the South and our supplies must be husbanded carefully," he said. "But we have our own health interests at stake here as well as our good neighbor policy pledges." Brody told Governor Brown the Tijuana reservoir, built to hold 300,000 acre feet of water, has been reduced to a mere six feet of price for round-trip bus transportation and Hollywood Bowl admissions is $3.50 per person. Hollywood Bowl admission alone is $2.50 per person. Buses will depart from Temple Beth Emet, 400 N. Emily, at 6:45 p.m., scheduled to arrive at the Hollywood Bowl at 8:15 p.m. Highway Patrol Wagon Calif. Cigarette Toss The California Highway Patrol is joining in the battle to prevent forest fires by mounting a drive against motorists who toss light cigarettes, cigars or matches out of their automobiles. CHP Commissioner Bradford Crittenden said his officers are instructed to cite anyone they serve throwing any lighted cigarettes, cigars or matches outside of a business or residential district. "This is an extremely critical year for forest fires," Crittenden added. "A match or a smoke towed from a car can touch off blaze that could burn hundreds of acres of timber, destroy thousands of dollars worth of private property, and cause loss of human life." "Our enforcement activity was not, however, be confined to mountain and forest areas. The law applies throughout California and if we can educate the public not to throw lighted material from their cars anywhere they will less likely to break the law in an area where great damage can done." Dogs Help Police On Patrol Rounds In the neighboring city of Staunton, a police officer is using a dog in his patrol work, and the program has been so successful since Officer Ivan Nachman started six months ago that it may be adopted by other agencies. Police Chief Harry Fink said he also approved the plan of Office OC State Park to Close at Midnight The State Division of Beaches and Parks said today that Bolsa Chica State Park in Orange County will close at midnight each night and open at 6 o'clock each morning. Hospital Drive Hits $200,000 Mark As Local Campaign Gets Underway A shower of children's pennies boosted the fund drive for the Children's Hospital of Orange County over the $200,000 mark. Spearheaded by contributions of $141,000 from four donors, the campaign for the $800,000 matching funds for the $2,000,000 hospital, got off to a running start in its first real month of activity. Donors were listed as: Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Pelletier of Laguna Beach, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Poole of Corona del Mar, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Knott of Buena Park and Pacific Hawaiian Products of Fullerton. Serving children of all creeds, colors and nationalities, this children's hospital is one of the primary needs of Orange County. Dr. Edward Lee Russell, Orange County Health Officer, pointed out that the children's hospital will have its own medical direction, staff and board of trustees, "making the medical facility non-sectarian and ready to serve children regardless of economic position." As an example of medical care for small children, Dr. Russell had this to say: "As an example of one of the many specialized services, the children's hospital will be able to properly care for a child who has burns covering 70 per cent of his body, but the cost that must be met some way or another may be $12,000 to $16,000."

Placentia, Anaheim Govemor Brown Urges Support Of Water Issue Governor Edmund G. Brown this week renewed his appeal to California voters for support of development of the State's water resources. He described the project, which calls for construction of a vast system of dams, reservoirs and aqueducts to bring surplus water from the North to areas of deficiency, "the most significant step ever undertaken by any American State." He said it will result in tremendous expansion of California's industrial and agricultural potential and create hundreds of thousands of new jobs for the State's burgeoning population. He called upon the California Building and Construction Trades Council to give its support to the $1.75 billion bond issue to finance construction of the project which will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. "California's very future depends on development of its water resources," he said, "and as this vast program benefits all of our State and all of our people, it will also benefit you." Governor Brown said that more than 4,000 persons will be employed on the project for every $100 million spent. About 40 per cent of the money expended will go into wages, he added. He said it is estimated that 38 per cent of those employed will be operating engineers, 25 per cent will be laborers, 20 per cent carpenters and 12 per cent steel workers, teamsters, cement fin- Council Accepts Proposed Budget Anaheim's annual budget proposal was presented to the City Council Tuesday and adopted.

Stanford Professor Starts Health Study Governor Edmund G. Brown announced this week that Dr. Bruce Jessup, professor of pediatrics at Stanford University, will conduct a study of the health needs of California's migrant workers and their families. Dr. Jessup, whose preliminary research into the subject under private sponsorship last year drew national attention, will conduct the new survey under sponsorship of the State Department of Public Health. Governor Brown said he hoped that the Jessup survey would provide information for setting up a permanent program in the field in the 1961-62 State budget. The emphasis would be on local action, however, he said. Governor Brown said that more than 4,000 persons will be employed on the project for every $100 million spent.
