EATING MEAL IN

Mrs. Eva Dohring, owner of Skyline Lodge on Highway 40, arose
rather late Saturday morning to find
a strange man cooking his breakfast
in the lodge kitchen. He refused to
answer any questions save to say he
was hungry and would like breakfast. Mrs. Dohring hospitablyhelped
him to coffee and toast. He was
cooking eggs when discovered.
After breakfast he displayed no
desire to leave. He wandered into
the bar room, played with’ poker
chips, shuffled cards and otherwise
amused himself. Mrs. Doliring finally called the sheriff’s office: in Newada City. Undersheriff William
Woods responded and placed the man
under arrest. He gave his name as
Joe Smith, and his address as New

pointing out that real reduction in

“Rigid economy, including courageous refusal of the many proposals
for further increases in salaries of
. public employees, is the only way
the actual burden-on the taxpayer
can be reduced,’’ the Taxpayers ‘organization declared. “If the local
budgets for 1944-45 now being made
up in many California communities,
are held to wartime necessities, real
reductions in property taxes for the
coming fiscal year can result.”
FARMERS CUT
‘WAY JEEPS
. Farmers of San Diego county,
many of ‘whom have indicated
through a national survey their desire to own a jeep after the war, can
save approximately $3,928,650 for
post war rehabilitation if they take
advantage of the scout car’s foursided erry ete a recent study _reveals. ’
This figure is based on the difference betwéen the estimated price of
a post war jeep ‘and the total cost
of the four farm units which, according to extensive research and experimentation it ¢an: replace.
Recent tests by accredited farm
experts, incliding officials of the
Department .of -Agpiculture, reveal
that the jeep has “a great deal of
farm blood in’ its mechanical veins,”
according to Ward M. Canaday, the
president of Willys-Overland Motors
whe. said "his company’s engineers
have proven “on the soil” that the
scout car can be used as an effective’
four purpose substitute for the horse
and the tractor, the independent
power unit and the light truck.
In the Department of Agriculture’s
report on its recent experiments with
the vehicle, issued by R. B. Grey,
head of the Farm Equipment and Research Division, the jeep was described as “highly udeful in plowing,
harrowing and other field work.”
First findings in the continuing
jeep studies being’ made by the agricultural engineering departments of
Washington State College and Ohio
State University demonstrate that
the vehicle, in its present military
form serves many all around purposes effectively, especially for the
small farm.
