Action was taken by the County Farm Bureau board of directors recently to send Donald E. Griset, first vice president, and Thomas J. Hight, second vice-president, to the conference.

The rate of unemployment edged up to 5.8 per cent of the labor force in November from 5.4 per cent in October and 4.5 per cent in November one year ago. The October to November employment upswing was attributed to the hiring of temporary workers in the retail trade and recalls in the motion picture industry. These gains, however, were partially offset by seasonal cutbacks in agriculture and construction. Manufacturing employment dropped during the last 30 days of the reporting period because of layoffs in aircraft, metals and food processing industries. In the early days of the U.S. Marine Corps, rented barracks were provided for those marines stationed in Washington during the winter months. To economize, they went to camp during the summer. Savings Bonds Aid Education Many parents are finding that a thrift program through regular purchases of United States Savings Bonds is a good way to finance all or a good part of a college education for their children, Howard D. Mills, western Treasury Department consultant, reports. “If, for example, a father starts putting $6.25 a week in savings bonds when the child is 2 or 3,” says Mills, “savings will amount to $4,900 by the time he reaches college age. “But the bonds will be worth $6,900—enough for a fair share of four years at most colleges.” State Gasoline Tax Income Hits All-Time Record Highway-user taxes generated a record gross total of $99,150,600 in state revenues in the July-September third quarter of 1960, Richard Nevins, Fourth District member of the State Board of Equalization, has announced. Assessments were one million dollars above those of the third quarter of 1959, a one percent increase. Taxable distributions of gasoline amounted to 1½ billion gallons, totaling 25 million gallons over the volume reported for the third quarter of 1959. This was the smallest increase in almost a decade. Diesel fuel distributions were up 120,000 gallons, the smallest gain since the inception of the tax in 1937. The relatively small increase in fuel consumption is attributed to some slow-down in business activity. The six-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline produced nearly 90 million dollars on third-quarter distributions. After Controller Alan Cranston allowed refunds of $5,900,000 for taxes that were paid on motor vehicle fuel for non-highway use, net revenues of 84 million dollars in gasoline taxes remained for state and local road construction and maintenance. The seven-cent-per-gallon use fuel tax on diesel fuel yielded $5,362,000. Liquefied petroleum gases, such as butane and propane, which are taxed at six cents per gallon, produced $424,000. The transportation tax levied on the gross receipts of buses and for-hire trucks brought in $3,452,000 in the third quarter. This amount was up 33 per cent from the same month in 1959 when 126,000 persons were seeking jobs.

This amount was 2 percent above the revenues for the comparable period of 1959. Gasoline, use fuel, and transportation tax assessments after refunds totaled $93,000,000 during the quarter.

Brown said last week the "right solution" to California's farm labor problems "will be found when all parties concerned remain aware of their obligation to California as a whole." Speaking before the Council of California Growers, the Governor said he will "do anything I can to help, whether in the form of mediation or helping the interested parties to work out legislation fair to all." "As governor," he said, "I intend to be absolutely fair to both sides in this conflict. The public interest can be served only by the free play of the opposing forces. "They must be given full opportunity to present their positions and negotiate for a just and workable solution." Brown said he was concerned during the summer and fall about both the farm economy and food. "The farmers got their crops in. The workers received a good wage. And the public was provided with an abundance of food." Apples, grapes, lemons, oranges, pears and almonds were lighter than the bumper crops of 1959 but still above the 1949-58 average, he said.
