Jobs, Incomes Gain in State Individuals Pace Nation In Earnings Fifty-one thousand more men and women were employed in California in April than during the previous month, the California State Chamber of Commerce has reported. Citing economic conditions based on April activity, Dwight M. Cochrane first vice president of the Chamber and president of Kern County—Land Company, told the organization's board of directors that California's total civilian employment reached 6,210,000, a 51.000 increase over March and a year ago. The State Chamber survey also spotlighted a dramatic rise in personal income for Californians, predicting that the total for 1963 will approach $83 billion, compared to $49 billion in 1962—which was $516 greater, per capita, than the national personal income figure. Personal Income Up "A significant item is the personal income ratio of California to the nation," the report stated. "In 1961 Californians had 11 per cent of the national personal income; in 1962, 11.2 per cent, and in 1963 it will rise to about 11.6 per cent." 37,000 Good Reasons For Salute to Dairy "The vital part that milk and dairy products play in the total health program of persons of all ages will be emphasized during the most far-reaching 'June' Dairy Month' observance ever staged." This was the statement of Harry R. Corea, Sr., 1963. "June is Dairy Month" Chairman, in outlining some of the plans for the annual Southern California dairy event. "The dairy industry is being backed solidly by the medical, dental, and allied health professions plus school leaders, nutritionists, home economists, and other experts in the field of nutrition and health." Corea said. Orange County, with about 37,000 cows in its various herds, is taking a direct interest in the program. Orange is reputed to be one of the largest dairy producing counties in the nation Cows average around seven and one-half quarts of milk per milking, county dairy-men report, and, at two milkings per day, this is enough to provide four families with two children in on the dairy industry for the long term, the dairy industry re Across the nation it is real that one out of 15 families gaged in the dairy industry. Price-wise, the dairy in reports, milk in Orange County cheaper than in most populated centers of the nation. Realtors Confab Set to September The Real Estate Invest Trust Conference formerly called for June 4 in Los Angeles and June 6 in San Francisco been postponed to September 1963, when it will be held at the 59th Annual Convention of California Real Estate Associates at the Bilbmore Hotel, it was nounced by Mel Pierson.

Pierson said that the conference was postponed until September order that the CREA member throughout the state attending Personal Income Up "A significant item is the personal income ratio of California to the nation," the report stated. "In 1961 Californians had 11 per cent of the national personal income; in 1962, 11.2 per cent, and in 1963 it will rise to about 11.6 per cent." Employment during April was up noticeably in seven basic industries throughout the state, the tries, up 4.29 per cent; finance, up 4.27 per cent; government, up 4.27 per cent; trade, up 2.81 per cent; transportation, communication and utilities, up 2.73 per cent; manufacturing, up 2.70 per cent; and construction, up 2.17 per cent. New passenger car registrations, the Chamber said, "are reflecting significant trends which have been developing nationally, showing steady month by month gains over 1962, the previous all-time record year." "For the first time in history, new automobile registrations should exceed 800,000 during 1963, thereby showing an 11 per cent increase over the record set in 1962." Other Increases A breakdown of manufacturing employment, also included in the employment in this field to be 1,442,000 — an increase of 38,000 over April, 1962. Of this increase 85 per cent was in durable goods, with electronics and missiles highest in gain. "Substantial increases" were reported in ordnance and accessories, lumber and wood products, fabricated metal products, machinery (except electrical) and transportation equipment. Government employment throughout the state exceeded a million persons in April, a five per cent or 40,000 gain over last year and a 55 per cent increase over the last ten years. Largest government employment increase since 1953 occurred in educational employment which rose 123 per cent in the decade. Kuchel Joins Force Pushing Civil Laws WASHINGTON — As an aftermath of recent disturbances due to difficulties experienced by Negroes demanding equal opportunities in several Southern States, U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California, the Assistant Republican Leader in the upper branch of Congress, has joined a bipartisan group proposing new laws to insure exercise of civil rights by members of minority races. The Senior California Senator was a co-sponsor of two bills introduced in the Senate following discussions with officials of the Executive branch about present inability of the Federal Government to assure entry into desegregated schools and to break down racial barriers against employment, enjoyment of public accommodations, and freedom to patronize stores. The latest legislative proposals are revisions of suggestions which Congress refused to incorporate in the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights Acts. The purpose is to give the Justice Department full legal authority to invoke powers of United States courts to protect individuals who are victims of racial discrimination. If enacted, the bills would make it possible for the Attorney General to sue on behalf of individuals denied civil rights by school boards or busi- cities where prejudice has been eradicated. I believe they only way, as events have indicated, to resolve this matter through strong legislation. "For several years, a group us in Congress, belonging to both parties, have been convinced Justice Department require broader authority to assist citizens seeking to enjoy rights forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The time has come for Congress to face the fact that more than moral suasion and public support from Americans in other areas essential to wipe out remaining vestiges of intolerance. That what these bills would accomplish." Because Henry Ford thought labor had a right to higher wages better hours and a share of profits, the auto pioneer in 1914 announced distribution of a $10 million bonus to his employees and a minimum wage of $5 for an 8-hour day. The Centennial of his birth is being marked in 1963. YRs to Stage Award Banquet The Orange County Young Republicans have announced their first Annual Awards Banquet to be held on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. at Knott's Berry Farm.

CARRIES CITY BANNER TO STATE — The city of Anaheim's hopes to find a spot in the universe rest on the comely shoulders of Junoesque blond Venita Wolf, who is now preparing for six full days of Hollywood treatment as the result of winning the title of Miss Anaheim in the first round of the annual Miss California Beauty Contest. She will step up to state judges on June 17-22 in Los Angeles in the hopes of representing the whole state in the Miami Beach Miss Universe contest.

Agreement has been reached on the cooperative effort to be made but final details are yet to be finalized, according to a joint announcement by Jim Latham, chairman of the District, and Bob Shanks, school district superintendent. The Constitution observance is in coincidence with the already-planned American Heritage program of the schools, Shanks declared. The principal program to be staged during the observance will probably take place at La Palma Stadium, officials indicated, to permit attendance by the thousands expected. Latham, whose District includes Anaheim, Orange and Yorba Linda, stated that the following organizations are already aligned in the initial planning for the observance: 22 American Legion Posts of Orange County, 21 VFW Posts, 10 Knights of Columbus Councils, Boy Scouts of America, Northern and Southern Councils; LULACS, Anaheim Council 316; Girl Scouts, Anaheim Council, and several other groups, choirs, school and military bands.

Laud Phillips On Metro Work In recognition for "service above and beyond the call of official duty." County Supervisor William Phillips of the third district has been honored by the rest of the members of the board. The commendation, an unusual action on the part of the board, came as the result of Phillips' work in preparing for the county's bid for metropolitan status. As a result of the work of the special committee headed by Phillips, a delegation of federal officials from Washington will visit the county June 17 to take a personal look-see into the status claims. Frank A. Cisar, chairman of the federal committee on standard metropolitan areas, will head the group which is particularly concerned with the number of county residents employed in other counties. Phillips said the delegation will remain here through June 18 for the on-site inspection. Expected to be on hand for the local meetings are Sens. Thomas Muchel of Anaheim and Claire Enle and Reps. Richard Hanna (Dullerton) and James B. Utt (Ranta Ana.) The federal delegation will be following up on information supplied them in Washington earlier by a 25-man group headed by Phillips. At the time, county officials said only 12.9 per cent of the county's working force is employed outside the county. Federal officials said anything more than 15 per cent would block the county's eligibility for separate status from the Los Angeles-Long Beach area. Walden School Aide Selected Reading consultant Mrs. Betty Rolson has joined the staff of Walden High School, in Anaheim. The high school is sponsored by the Psychological Guidance Center, and is located at 1019 W. La Palma. Mrs. Rolson has taught remedial reading for 15 years.

Time is Short On Korean Vet Insurance Plan Jim Heim, County Service Officer, today reminded veterans of the Korean Conflict that they have about five months left in which to take advantage of the eighteen million dollars in special insurance dividends to be paid those exchanging "RS" insurance policies to policies bearing the letter "W". This applies only to Korean Conflict veterans whose insurance policy number is preceded by the letters "RS". No other government life insurance policy holders are eligible. The dividend offer expires September 13, 1963, and a large number of these veterans still have not applied. To get his dividend, the "RS" policy holder must either exchange his "RS" term policy for a "W" policy at around a third of the cost he is now paying; or convert his "RS" policy to a low-cost "W" permanent plan insurance policy. In the case of the term insurance, the term cannot be renewed after age 50, but protection can be continued by converting to a low-cost permanent plan insurance policy at any time while the term is in force. Student Transfers To Balance Classes Student Transfers To Balance Classes In an effort to better balance attendance at 10 schools in the Pasadena City School Districts, students are now looking over a proposed attendance revision that would affect 643 students. It was proposed by Supt. Bob Banks who said the revision is necessary to balance attendance. He pointed out that someools will have more students in there are classrooms available while other schools will have an oversupply of classrooms. If the plan is carried out students will be shifted from overpopulated schools to ones with available classrooms. The transfers, which would become effective next fall, include: 103 students from Edison to Mann; 119 students from Price to Gauer; 194 students from Sunkist to Guinn; 121 students from Roosevelt to Lincoln; and 106 students from Palm Lane to Loara. Brother's Hand Is Larry's Need Editors Note: We support the book of Big Brothers of Orange County and in connection with support will publish 'case stories' that are in need of solutions. These are furnished us by Brothers as a stimulus to who are potential memoirs. The words that are written in case history file can be cold in the files at Big Brothers of Orange County, where more than 120 fatherless boys from all walks of life and in all stages of need are awaiting the helping hand that only a man can offer. Larry, for example, is going to be a teenager in less than a year and growing up isn't going to be easy for him. His father has been gone since he was a child, leaving his mother to rear him alone. Larry's mother is a woman of fragile health. She is terrified at the prospect of leaving Larry an orphan before he is grown. At age 12, Larry can cook, scrub floors and walls and generally do housework as well as most men, but the confidence he has at home does not carry through into his relationship with other boys. Most of his friendships are based on the fact that Larry is easy to "trade" with, though he exchange his "RS" term policy for a "W" policy at around a third of the cost he is now paying or convert his "RS" policy to a low-cost "W" permanent plan insurance policy. In the case of the term insurance, the term cannot be renewed after age 50, but protection can be continued by converting to a low-cost permanent plan insurance policy at any time while the term is in force. The "RS" policyholder must take either of these steps on or before September 13, 1903, to receive his special dividend. These dividends average about 100, depending on the age of the policyholder and the length of time he has held the policy. Further information can be had by contacting the Veterans Service office. 202 North Broadway. (P. O. Box 839). Santa Ana, California. BONDS (Continued from Page 1) debt ceiling which the city has arbitrarily set. The state legal limit on city indebtedness is 15 percent. These questions will be discussed and debated during the next several months as the city finally evolves a firm position on the amount of the bond issue and the projects to be included. At the present the following items are all being considered: Top priority is assigned to improving the municipal water system. Main project was an $814 million-gallon reservoir proposed for the Walnut Canyon on Nohl Ranch Boyle Engineering already is drawing detailed plans. The huge "raw water" reservoir with treatment plant will be critically needed during the expected 1970 water shortage period, officials say. Cost of the water system improvements was estimated at $4.5 to 5 million. High priority is also assigned to a needed $1 million in electrical substations. Priority is assigned to the construction of a new city hall. No determination has been made as to the cost of the project. Broadway and Harbor has been suggested as a site by Mayor Rex Coo At age 12, Larry can cook, scrub floors and walls and generally do housework as well as most men, but the confidence he has at home does not carry through into his relationship with other boys. Most of his friendships are based on the fact that Larry is easy to "trade" with, though he consistently winds up on the very short end of a bargain. The chances are that he does this purposely in an effort to "buy" friendship. One compelling reason for this probably is because Larry has large ears so many of his schoolmates call him "dumbo". Larry and his mother are very close so many of her anxieties about health have been transferred to him. He gets very upset about such things as a bruise or a minor cut. Larry has a quick mind, however, and thinks he wants to be a teacher. He reads more rapidly than most 12 year-olds and is almost a walking history book. The right Big Brother could make a great difference between a happy and productive life or one full of anxieties for Larry. He is pleasant and well mannered, and tries very hard to please any man who will give him just a little bit of his time. Larry definitely needs a Big Brother! Big Brothers of Orange County is looking for the right man to serve as Larry's Big Brother, because here it will take so little to accomplish so much. The man who is willing to give this gift of a few hours a week to a boy can get information about being a Big Brother by calling Big Brothers of Orange County at KI 7-7790 or by writing to them at 515 North Main Street in Santa Ana. "No man ever stands so straight as when he stoops to help a boy." Priority is assigned to the construction of a new city hall. No determination has been made as to the cost of the project. Broadway and Harbor has been suggested as a site by Mayor Rex Coons. City officials are considering a proposal to seek less than $500,000 to be used for the acquisition of branch library sites, and possible construction of one or two buildings. One site would be located east of Peralta Hills; another near the East Anaheim Shopping Center at Lincoln Ave. and State College Blvd.; and the other at Palm Lane and Euclid. Also on the "must" list is storm drain construction. Public Work Department studies indicated the city could spend $5 million for additional storm drains. Similar priority is given to the need for sewer trunk extension funds, estimated at least $1 million. This money will be kept in a "revolving account" which will finance sewer trunk extensions during the brief waiting periods prior to reimbursement by developers. City officials are also discussing whether the developing of additional park sites should be taken off the pay-as-you-go program. City officials are considering submitting a bond proposal for construction of a municipal audit—though they have been thinking about other types of financing. A steering committee recommended against using bond funds. Funds may be sought for street improvement projects. Much depends on the outcome of Senate Bill 344 which if passed would increase state gas taxes 1 cent per gallon. The city then would receive additional street improvement funds.
