The P-G-wEArmy Twelve thousand strong, the men and women employees of this company are carrying on. More than 2100 of their fellow workers already have gone into military service. Those that remain know the serious importance of their task. They know that maintaining unbroken service of gas and electricity to the war industries strengthens the hands of MacArthur in the South Pacific and Eisenhower in North Africa. These utility workers, each one doing his bit of the multitude of prosaic jobs involved in efficient delivery of electric power and fuel gas, are making a magnificent record of accomplishment. They are an army in themselves, always attacking, always on duty. We are proud of them. Electric Power When and Where Needed “Long before Pearl Harbor, the Company began its preparations for meeting the anticipated requirements of the nation’s rearmament program. We have been able at all times to meet promptly and fully, with an adequate margin for contin gencies, the maximum simultaneous demands of almést a million electric customers. The peak power demand dur power higher than vening period more ing 1942 was about 250,000 horsethe 1940 maximum, but in the interthan 300,000 horsepower was added to our system through the construction of new plants or under contracts with other producers. We will add another 300,000 horsepower of capacity during 1943 .We are doing our utmost t o serve our country’s war effort.” —President J. B. Black, in Annual Report for 1942.

Looms now producing birdseye and gauze diaper cloth cannot be converted to production of any other types of fabrics. Country Girls Rate High . As Nurses, Report Says Directors of schools of nursing rank country girls higher than their city cousins. Some of the qualities the directors find about their nonurban students are—they adapt themselves quickly to life in the school; they have a good supply of common sense; they are friendly and cooperative; they are conscientious; and, ane director said: “They get up in the morning.” The need for nurses is urgent. War Manpower Commissioner McNutt has said: ‘One of the outstanding shor<ages of womanpower in the war is in the field of professional nursing.” Write for information to the National Nursing ‘Council for War Service, 1790 Broadway, ‘New, York, ‘New York. Vast Yield Seen in State Victory Gardens BERKELEY, May 10.—California has close to a: million Victory gardens in the backyards, vacant lots, parks and hillsides of its fifty-eight ‘) counties. The annual estimated yield may be 125,000,000 pounds of vegetables worth, at current prices, about twelve and a half million dollars. These figures, representing a six months’ survey, were assembled from reports of county farm advisors by R. B. Easson, University of California Agricultural Extension Service specialist, who has been named to head the state wide Home ‘Food Production drive. A Nearly a half million Victory gardens are concentrated in the five more populous centers of Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego and San Francisco .counties, with the other fifty three counties reporting an additional 500,000 gardens. ‘Checks by water companies, schools and by neighborhood and blotk Victor garden leaders supplemented the county farm advisor’s seurvey Hasson declared. , Between 70 and 80 per cent of the urban homes, exclusive of apartments and hotels, have Victory gardens, Fasson asserted, while between 80 and 90 per cent of the farms have special gardens to augment their normal food harvests. “From the survey it is apparent that the combined area of the state's Victory gardens will run very close to 25,000 acres.’”’ Basson said, “and this acreage should produce at the early this year in the Tahoe National .

' ““As yet, cereals are the most nearily adequate of all our food supplies” . she declared at a recent conference on home food preservation problems. ““Cereals can go to war as . livestock feed, food for people in reoccupied areas, seed for those areas, and can also be used in making gunpowder and synthetic rubber.” The state’s food situation has several complications, she pointed out. . Population has increased 10 per cent in the past two years, and has doub. led since 1920. But the area of land n farms has searcely changed at all. Agricultural production methods have increased the amount of food raised in California, but not fast enough to take care of the steadily growing opulation. The state has had to import more and more food from other parts of the country, and lim-' ited transportation facilities are now blocking this. However, California.is not alone in. facing shortages of such products as meat, milk, butter, and eggs. Dr. Warren reminded. In the entire coun try such searcities have appeared because present price ceilings have kept prices down while consumer income has risen, Shinyard Work Enthuses Woman Irrigation Search For Diwned : Girls Bedy Continue; AUBURN, May 10.-—Sheriff Cha les Silva of Placer county dispacthed deputies Charles Dolce and Jack Shannon to Lake Van Geisen to atiempt to drag that section of the lake the Miss Evelyn Armes disappeared beneath the surface April 18.
