Joplin Youths The Congressman Is Wrong It would appear that Rep. Wright Patman (D-Texas) is not too happy about the tax-exempt status of various foundations throughout the United States. And we have to admit that some of his charges levelled against some of these foundations appear to be true. But we think he was away out on left field the other day when he made some allegations regarding the status of the Irvine Foundation in Orange County. Patman, chairman of a Congressional subcommittee conducting hearings into the tax exempt status of foundations, outlined what he termed his "vigorous opposition to the Irvine Foundation's stranglehold on the Irvine Company." The Texas Democrat, in his address gave the impression that the Irvine Foundation was actually calling shots in all Orange County industry. We have to disagree with Mr. Patman's statements regarding the relationship between the company and the foundation. The company has a long range plan for development prepared for the outstanding community development planners in the United States. Orange County has greatly been fitted from this long range program. Now that Rep. Patman has had it say, why not allow officials of the foundation and company to testify the hearings. They were not invited the day Texan got on the soapbox. Status Political campaigning has changed drastically over the last dozen years, and no doubt about it. The whistle-stop campaign train is a museum piece, only now and then dragged out of mothballs to substitute for the faster-moving airplane. Despite Richard Nixon's 50-state schedule in 1960, the tendency is for candidates to make fewer, not more, personal appearances. Certainly television, with its potential audience in the millions, has left the political rally Sen. Goldwater apparently enjoys talking to fans and is more than happy to discuss his philosophy with them. (You can't say he's campaigning on the air, because that's against licensing rules. But there's nothing to stop man from talking about his profession which in the senator's case happens at the moment to be running for president.) All over the country, hams are standing up at night to read "The Science of a Conservative" or to m The whistle-stop campaign train is a museum piece, only now and then dragged out of mothballs to substitute for the faster-moving airplane. Despite Richard Nixon's 50-state schedule in 1960, the tendency is for candidates to make fewer, not more, personal appearances. Certainly television, with its potential audience in the millions, has left the political rally (with audiences in the hundreds) a pale shadow of its former self. The 1960 TV debates, whether or not they are copied this fall, gave a new dimension to the art of campaigning. Barry Goldwater, it appears, is contributing one more refinement to this art. He is, as everybody now knows, a radio ham, and it's quickly becoming a status symbol among other hams to chat with the Republican presidential nominee. Crime's Menace The FBI reports that crime in 1963 increased by 10 per cent over 1962. There is one murder, two burglaries and 60 auto thefts for each hour in the year. There were 88 policemen killed in the line of duty. Since 1960 there have been 168 policemen murdered — a figure which approaches the death list among American servicemen in South Vietnam. Murder, rape and aggravated assault are increasing. There were two and a quarter million serious crimes in 1963. The FBI estimates the annual cost of crime at $27 billion. Most disturbing is a public tendency to withhold help from victims of assault or even, as in the case of Helen, to fight policemen who are trying to restore order. Crime, says FBI Chief J. Edgerton Hoover, is increasing at a rate five times the percentage of increase in population since 1958, compared to 40 per cent increase in crime. DOMESTIC WORKER PLAN County Citrus Growers Deny 'Fouling' Program Charges that Orange County orange ranchers are deliberately fouling up a domestic worker program to demonstrate in the County had expressed a willingness to use busloads of the recruits but as soon as the "It was that the work showed a great unwillingness work," he related. County Citrus Growers Deny 'Fouling' Program Charges that Orange County orange ranchers are deliberately "fouling up" a domestic worker program to demonstrate a need for braceros have been emphatically denied by local ranchers. The charges were made last week before a State Board of Agriculture meeting in Sacramento. Milton Natapoff, a member of the State Board of Agriculture, said that some citrus growers in the county may be deliberately trying to ruin a pilot program of recruiting Los Angeles County welfare recipients for farm work. Natapoff said citrus growers in the County had expressed a willingness to use busloads of the recruits but as soon as the program began to be successful, some of the growers began setting up restrictions or turning down busloads. In denying the charge, Richard H. Daniels, manager of the Farm Harvest Association, said, "The peak of the six-week program involved the recruiting of 39 welfare recipients in Los Angeles. Within a week, 23 of these workers quit." It is true that local citrus growers turned down some of these workers — but not to demonstrate a need for the Mexican workers, Daniels said. County Assessment Procedures Come Under Supervisor's Fire Orange County's assessment policies and procedures came under fire by Board of Supervisors Chairman William J. Phillips as three golf clubs received sharp deductions in their tax assessments. "The approach is backwards," Phillips said during the appeal hearings by four county golf clubs yesterday. Acting as a board of equalization, the supervisors knocked off nearly $300,000 of assessed valuation of three of the clubs Another appeal was continued one week. Santa Ana Country Club, jolled by a proposed 100 per cent jump, was given a $126,000 reduction. Korba Lands Country Club, whose assessment was more than doubled from last year, won a cut of $138,000, and the Big Tee Golf Center in Buena Park had its assessment cut from $60,620 to $40,138. Phillips said he was particularly disturbed by the fact that a landowner is "penalized" with higher assessments the moment he develops land. During the hearing the board also questioned the state's Revenue and Taxation Code. The code requires assessors to favorably consider the recreational aspects of golf and to consider golf course land as valuable for only one purpose. The board charged County Assessor Hugh Plumb with methods that are inconsistent. "It was that the work showed a great unwillingness work," he related. One grower said that time was spent keeping of the workers than was picking the citrus crop. "And furthermore," De declared, "this program, lasted six weeks, was dis-tinued by mutual agreement tween the State Department Employment and the grower." Daniels pointed out that range County had no part in pilot program.

Before the trip is made, Joplin is pictured as a grey-walled prison for teen-age criminals. Well-armed guards and high, barbed wire-topped fences or walls are also in the mental picture. But as you wind through the picturesque Trabuca Canyon, a different setting starts to take place. When you arrive at Joplin and see a hustling, almost completely self-sustaining community, your visions of a miniature San Quentin are shattered. The boys at Joplin, all wards of the Juvenile Court in need of readjustment, should be the stereotype of a juvenile delinquent. But they're not. As soon as you leave your car and walk over under a tree where the boys are taking a break from the rugged day, a teen-ager with neatly combed hair and an honest sweat running down his brow will get up and say, "Would you like my chain Sina." living and become participating citizens, each making some contribution, however modest, to a good life for all," is the way they put it. It is the aim of the staff at Joplin to develop in each boy a sympathetic understanding of his particular problems to help him experience some degree of recognition not possible under ordinary conditions. Staff Of Ten The staff of the ranch is composed of Director Ray Stripe, six counselors, two cooks and a secretary. The counselors form the backbone of the operation. Each is a skilled craftsman and possesses the ability to work with young men. Each of the four work crews is directed by a counselor who is an expert in that line of work. The four crews, that not only provide training for the boys but also keep Joplin almost completely self-sustaining, are Agriculture, Construction, Culinary Arts, and Mechanics. In conjunction with the trades program a fully accredited high school is staffed with a principal and tw full-time teachers. Each of the four crew members useful purpose on the The agriculture crew, ample, milk cows, raises pigs, lambs and maintains a vegetable All of the meat eaten boys is raised on the same way with milk and Eggs are also supplied agriculture crew. The construction crew busy with new stairs at the ranch. Two Projects Under At the present time engaged in two big projects the building of a new bunkhouse and a new Director Ray Stripe. The boys are doing work on the projects, figuring the foundation to pane the paneling and tie touches. The kitchen crew's self-explanatory. They two cooks prepare the meal the day. The mechanics crew busy by completely reworn out motors. Ma bought as scrap mate. The boys at Joplin all wards of the Juvenile Court in need of readjustment, should be the stereotype of a juvenile delinquent. But they're not. As soon as you leave your car and walk over under a tree where the boys are taking a break from the rugged day, a teen-ager with neatly combed hair and an honest sweat running down his brow will get up and say, "Would you like my chair, Sir?" Average Stay Is Six Months This is Joplin Boys Ranch Most the boys will stay here around six months. Some stay as little as six months and others will remain over a year. Away from the temptations of our modern society, the 48 boys at Joplin are kept ever on the move with a constantly varied program of study, work and recreation. The leaders at Joplin emphasize that the boys there are not "problem children." "They are children with problems who require an adjusted program that they may grow into the full development of their own capacities for good." Each of the four work crews is directed by a counselor who is an expert in that line of work. The four crews, that not only provide training for the boys but also keep Joplin almost completely self-sustaining, are Agriculture, Construction, Culinary Arts, and Mechanics. In conjunction with the trades program a fully accredited high school is staffed with a principal and two full-time teachers. Close Relationship Maintained The teachers not only teach the academic work but maintain a close relationship to the trades program in order to assist the boys in realizing the close relationship of education and work. Upon admittance to Joplin, a boy is given an opportunity to choose an area of vocational interest. He is then assigned to one of the four crews. Each crew has a group leader, or foreman. He has been appointed because he has developed leadership and dependability since his arrival at the ranch. The day is divided into three parts — work experience, school and recreation. We can do anything to do if we stick to enough. YOU'RE GETTING JUST WHAT YOU DESERVE... a beautiful new First Federal Savings Office OPENING ABOUT JANUARY 1, 1965 1717 E. Lincoln Ave. Anaheim It was that the workers showed a great unwillingness to work," he related. One grower said that more time was spent keeping track of the workers than was spent taking the citrus crop. "And furthermore," Daniels declared, "this program, which lasted six weeks, was disconnected by mutual agreement between the State Department of Deployment and the growers." Daniels pointed out that Ortege County had no part in the most program. Local growers have compared this program with a similar pre-us plan in which labor was transported from the Deep South to Southern California. But one had the same problem: workers unwilling to work, growers said. Specimen Trees and Shrubs Complete Nursery Service Botts Nursery 528 W.

Howard Crooke, Orange County Water District secretary-manager, said the underground reservoir is in the best shape in years and in good position to withstand the 10 per cent cutback levied against the Metropolitan Water District's Colorado River supply. "Anaheim's wells are in the best condition in 28 years," Crooke said, "and Santa Ana's are way up, too."

"Naturally we don't like the curtailment, but there will be no water problem in Orange County this year." he added The U. S. Bureau of Reclamation cut water use from the Colorado River by 10 per cent for the remainder of this year to enable it to fill Lake Powell, the new reservoir behind the Glen Canyon Dam near the Arizona-Utah border. MWD had forecast "severe curtailment" of water for replenishing the underground supply in Orange and Los Angeles counties. Several weeks ago, OCWD had voluntarily reduced its Colorado River water requirement from 220,000 acre-feet for the 1964-65 fiscal year to 175,000 acre-feet.
