Retail Sales Gain Sharply Second quarter 1963 retail sales transactions subject to California's 3 per cent sales tax gained 10.3 per cent in Anaheim, according to Richard Nevins, Fourth District member of the Board of Equalization. Anaheim, with $52,199,000 in taxable transactions, was exceeded in percentage gain in 20 cities within the district only by Torrance, which had a 15 per centrain, and Pomona's 17.6 per cent. For the same quarter last year, Anaheim's taxable sales totaled 47,314,000. Southland Gain Transactions totaled $3,956,483,000 during April, May, and June of 1963 in the eight southernmost counties of California. This amount was 6.3 per cent higher than that for the second quarter of 1962. Percentagewise, by county, the gains were 14.2 in Riverside, 13.1 in Orange, 10.8 in San Bernardino, 8.9 in Imperial, 8.7 in Ventura, 7.2 in Santa Barbara, 5.3 in Los Angeles, and 2.8 in San Diego. Auto Sales Half of the gain in Pomona stemmed from auto sales. Increased sales of home furnishings and appliance stores produced half of the 15 per cent gain in Torrance. The Fourth Equalization District, Nevins reported, accounted for nearly three-fifths of the State's total taxable transactions of $8,869,238,000 during the last quarter. This sum was 6.4 per cent greater than the second-quarter record set in 1962. Fifty of the State's 58 counties, accounting for 99 percent of the total taxable sales, shared in this general rise in business. Statewide, taxable sales of retail stores comprising two-thirds 6.3 per cent above those of the second quarter of 1962. Near Record Sales of new car dealers, up eight per cent, totaled $884 million, only $8½ million short of the all-time record set in the final quarter of 1962. Department store sales of $570 million were more than 8 per cent above those of a year earlier. Furniture stores posted a gain of 10 per cent as sales reached $219 million. The greatest growth — 27 percent — was registered by trailer, boat, cycle, and plane dealers. Farm implement dealers ranked second with a gain of 16 per cent. Sales of lumber and building materials dealers increased 11 per cent, and those of automotive supplies and parts stores gained 12 per cent. Taxable sales of drug stores were up 6.6 per cent; those of restaurants and food stores increased more than 4 per cent. State Ch Program Addition A bold new program for stimulating economic growth to create 1,000,000 new jobs in California by 1970 was launched recently by the California State Chamber of Commerce. Implementing the program will be the Chamber's recently established Economic Growth Committee headed by R. A. Peterson, State Chamber director and vice chairman of the board, Bank of America N. T. & S. A. The committee, made up of many of the state's leading industrialists and business men, for several months has been studying the problem of creating more job opportunities, according to the Chamber announcement. The new program is aimed at: 1. securing new and expanded industry throughout California; 2. encouraging internal markets for California products; 3. expanding the State's national and world markets. The triple-barreled campaign will "support and strengthen" industrial development efforts of local communities, Peterson said. "California's economy," he declared, "is faced with the tremendous burden of absorbing one million new jobs between now and 1970." "It is quite evident that all of us have a joint interest and a de- GETS HUNTING PERMIT Woman Ballet Teacher Hopes To Make Elk do Bullet Dance Mrs. Hugh (Luciana) Glasgow, 2770 W. Lincoln Ave., a former Italian ballet dancer and accomplished markswoman, has been picked as one of 75 hunters who will be allowed to shoot an elk in the special Roosevelt elk hunt in Humbolt County, Nov. 2-5. Mrs. Glasgow has been in the United States seven years. Prior to coming to America she was a ballet dancer for an Italian Opera company. She now operates the Luciana School of Dancing in Anaheim. She has been hunting successfully for several years her husband having taught her how. She has only bugged deer and other game, never an elk. Rigid Rules Qualifications for the hunt were extremely rigid. After Mrs. Glasgow's name was picked from among the 8,000 applicants for the 75 permits, she had to qualify by passing a written examination and a marksmanship test. The test provides that the hunter has to put three out of four shots inside an eight-inch target from 100 yards distant or inside an 18-inch target at 200 yards. Mrs. Glasgow scored 100 per cent in both tests. The hunt is to be held in four periods, with 25 hunters participating in each of the first three periods of the hunt. Unsuccessful hunters will get another shot at it during the fourth period, Nov. 16-19. Explorer Post Given Charter Earl Mills, president of Men's Brotherhood of First Christian Church, Anaheim, recently was presented the Charter for the new Explorer Post 15 Boy Scouts of America at First Christian Church. The Men's Brotherhood sponsors the Scout activities for the church. Marshal McFie, district chairman, Anaheim District of Northern Orange County Council Boy Scouts of America, made the presentation. Officers of the new post are Sam Jones, senior advisor; Marshal (Buddy) McFie Jr., junior advisor; Kim Richardson, president; Brian Lindgren, vice president and cabinet representative, and Brian Donley secretary-treasurer. Charter members of Post 15 in California hunters bagged 129 bears through Sept. 30, compared to 101 by the end of September a year ago, according to bear tags returned to the Department of Fish and Game. The leading counties were Plumas and Shasta, with 18 each. The bear season runs through January 1, 1964, with a limit of two per season. Waterfowl hunting for ducks, geese, coots, and gallinules opened in two areas of the state Tuesday, Oct. 8, and extend through Jan. 5. The two areas are northeastern California and the Colorado River. Hunters were expanding the State's national and world markets. The triple-barreled campaign will "support and strengthen" industrial development efforts of local communities, Peterson said. "California's economy," he declared, "is faced with the tremendous burden of absorbing one million new jobs between now and 1970." "It is quite evident that all of us have a joint interest and a definite responsibility to undertake the necessary measures for the encouragement of present industry to expand, and new industries to locate, within our state." Aggressive Competition Peterson noted that economic growth in terms of industrial jobs is of nationwide concern and that there is "aggressive competition" among states. He said local communities and chambers of commerce have done "excellent jobs" but that "as California's population continues to increase, we must do everything possible to provide jobs for the people who will need them." He declared: "Our state needs a planned economic growth program, business-oriented and backed by local and regional organizations." First phase of the new State Chamber program involves a thorough study "of all the reasons why California is an outy system for use by local community groups, an educational campaign to acquaint manfacturers."

Recipients of the brochure will include businessmen, banker, investors, corporations, organizations, trade association, government agencies and local chambers of commerce. Stimulate Markets The campaign to stimulate internal markets for California products will spotlight the state's production capabilities to local purchasing agents, wholesale and retail buyers, and consumers. Involved will be a preliminary study of these production potentials, development of a simple surfields, and a separate drive to inform buyers and consumers along the same line. The program to expand outside markets for California products will aim at generating more export sales through continued state-wide encouragement of present trade expansion activity and bringing more chambers of commerce, trade associations and industry groups into the effort.

Hunters were The program to expand outside markets for California products will aim at generating more export sales through continued state-wide encouragement of present trade expansion activity and bringing more chambers of commerce, trade associations and industry groups into the effort. "With the assistance of export firms, banks, and the U.S. Department of Commerce," said Peterson, "a carefully planned, systematic procedure in informing manufacturers in every field of the potentials and facilities for overseas trade, will be developed and made available." Export Quantity Peterson pointed out that in 1960, California's exported manufactured products totaled $1.3 billion and that thousands of manufacturers "obviously did not export at all" or, if so, negligibly. There are a great many California manufacturers with products of merit who have not pushed their sales to the maximum in either the western regional or national market," he declared. On stimulating local markets, Peterson said that this state, representing slightly less than ten per cent of the nation's population, accounts for from 15 to 30 per cent of all national sales. "California has thousands of manufacturers capable of supplying a great proportion of this market. Yet every day thousands of tons of manufactured products and ma- THE BILLION-DOLLAR THAT GIVES YOU FEDERA Other peaks in America are as beautiful as 20,300-foot Mount McKinley, giant of our nation's mountains. It's first billion association The first introduction of freshwater shrimp as troutfood into California and Nevada waters was made last month in Lake Tahoe, the California and Nevada Departments of Fish and Game announced this week. Introduction of 50,000 freshwater shrimp was followed four days later with a second plant of 50,000, partly in Tahoe and partly in Echo Lake. The shrimp are invertebrates and average from one-half inch to one and one-fourth inches in length. The shrimp, called Mysis relicta, were obtained from Canada.
