Banks invest in industry, in shops, in farms. They put money in auto loans, personal loans, real estate loans. It's the old principle of spreading out for safety.

SIDELIGHTS NOBODY LEFT BUT LAURITZ By DORIS LEE I meant to say a few words about St. Patrick's Day, but it came and went before I realized it. There's not much point in mentioning it now. I'm sure nobody's interested, particularly Republicans and Bostonians. Bostonians, as a matter of fact, tend to ignore St. Patrick's Day. They have designated March 1 as Evacuation Day, which commemorates the evacuation of Boston by the British back in 1776. (There’s probably an unconscious desire here to rid the city of the Irish, too.) Anyway, since it’s too late to talk about St. Patrick’s Day I've been thumbing through the reference books to see what else we can celebrate in March and right off I see I also missed out on Luther Burbank Day, March 7, an important day for Californians who go mad for Shasta Daisies. However, I'm not too late for Maryland Day, March 25. I'm not too late but I can't stir up the interest. The Alaska Purchase, March 30, also leaves me cold. There are some birthdays, though, I feel are worth mentioning, and, picking a date at random, March 20 is as good as any. Jean Antoine Houdon, famous French sculptor, was born March 20, 1741, which makes him 22 years old this week. I think it's particularly fitting to mention him since it's unlikely any of his contemporaries are still living to wish him a happy birthday. He's dead also, of course. As luck would have it, the very year Houdon died, 1828, and right on his birthday, March 20, Henrik Been the poet and playwright noon, Friday, April 26. A committee composed of Mesdames Charles Hunt, Lloyd Klein, Duane Duncan, J. B. Edwards and Richard Marino were appointed to arrange the Presidents Banquet to be held in May. Council Workskops to be held March 28 will be co-ordinated by Mrs. Robert Thomas. The March general meeting will be held on Friday, March 29 at 8:00 p.m. at the California Federal Bank Building located at Euclid and Crescent Avenue in Anaheim. For further information write to Parents Without Partners, Inc. Box 5174, Buena Park, California. And that's the way it’s been ever since. As far as I know, Lauritz Melchior is still around. And if he is, he was 73 years old this week. Happy birthday, Lauritz. Jim Heyes Has Lead In College Comedy ORANGE — "The Emperor's Feet", an original comedy written ten by Henry - Blair, instructor in speech and drama, will be presented at Chapman College as the school's next drama production March 20 through 23. Kemp-Blair is directing a cast of ten Chapman students in the play. Curtain will be at 8 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, March 20 and 21, and at 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23. Jim Heyes, senior English major of Anaheim, has one of the leading roles, that of the Lieutenant. Kemp-Blair has described the play as "a sort of 'Charlie's Aunt' with togas." "Tunnel of Love", a Broadway three-act adult will be presented to a opening-night audience Fullerton Footlighters. The play is also being performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday March 21-23 in the Hiller reational Building.

Next on the Footlighters "Loss of Roses", slated for... dom, March 20 is as good as any. Jean Antoine Houdon, famous French sculptor, was born March 20, 1741, which makes him 22 years old this week. I think it’s particularly fitting to mention him since it’s unlikely any of his contemporaries are still living to wish him a happy birthday. He’s dead also, of course. As luck would have it, the very year Houdon died, 1828, and right on his birthday, March 20, Henrik Ibsen, the poet and playwright, was born. Neither one was aware of this coincidence at the time, and naturally Houdon never did find out, unless, of course, someone told him on his deathbed. Whether Ibsen ever learned of it isn’t recorded. Six years later, to the day, Ibsen was celebrating his sixth birthday without too much fanfare in Norway, when who should come charging into the world, all set to become president of Harvard University, but Charles William Eliot. This was also the de-93rd birthday. On March 20, 1890, when Charlie Eliot was celebrating his fifty-sixth birthday at Harvard, and Henrik Ibsen was turning 62 in Germany, and Jean Antoine Houdon was turning 149 in his grave, Lauritz Melchior, the singer, was born in Denmark. If you’ll notice, Lauritz wasn’t named after any of his notable birthmates. Instead, he was named Lauritz, and he went ahead and become notable on his own. It’s possible he didn’t know about the others. In 1906, when Charlie Eliot was 72 and Lauritz was 18, Henrik Ibsen, at the age of 78, joined Jean Antoine Houdon in the hereafter. Houdon was then 165 years old. Twenty years later, in 1926, Charlie Eliot gave up the ghost. He was 92 years old. Ibsen was 98 and Houdon was 185. Lauritz Melchior, the sole survivor, was 36 years old. Joseph M. Farber, California’s Director of Veterans Affairs, said today he would not recommend any further bond issues the enacted for the famed “Cal-Vet” Farm and Home purchase program, and said too he would not support legislation to include home refinancing in the program. “The people and the legislature of California have time and time again shown their gratitude to our veterans by voting these bond issues over the past 41 years,” said Farber. “But now I believe their intent has been carried out. Over 200,000 California veterans of three wars have bought homes and farms with these low interest rate loans. The program has served its purpose. Future needs of our veterans can be met with funds available — either on hand or through bonds already authorized.” California voters last year authorized issuance of $250,000,000 worth of general obligation bonds for the program, and $60,000,000 worth are still unsold from a previous authorization. As to refinancing, Farber said: “I won’t support any legislation to reopen the program to refinancing. I feel the intent of this program was to give the veteran a helping hand in his original purchase of a home. This intent has been carried out.” The Cal - Vet Farm and Home Purchase program was first put into operation in 1921 to enable returning veterans of World War I to purchase farms and homes at a lower interest rate.

Navy Working In Red Cross Research Job The American Red Cross and the U.S. Navy have begun a research project to discover a possible cure for "Viral respiratory infections that lead to pneumonia," according to A. J. Schutte, 1963 Red Cross Membership Chairman here. A bloodmobile unit from the Red Cross Regional Blood Center in Madison, Wis., was recently dispatched to the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, Ill., where blood was taken from 1000 recruits who had had infectious illnesses, Schutte said. At Red Cross expense, he said, a commercial laboratory processed the 1000 pints of blood and extracted the derivative gamma globulin, which Red Cross then turned over to Navy medics at the Training Center. "In early spring, this gamma globulin will be administered in varying dosages to 3000 trainees."
