May 22.—Indicative of the determination to wipe out fraudulent practices in the field of unemployment insurance, the department of employment today received a report. from its Huntington Park office that a claimant who had obtained $240 insurance while woking received a$450 fine, or 155 days in jail when brought before City Judge Charles Hedgcok in that city. Facts in the case were developed in department headquarters in Sacramento through an internal audit, which is going on constantly. : The claimant, Faustino P. Flores, of. Huntington Park, claimed insurance and later fraud was discovercache to locate the claimant, the department requested a complaint for Flores arrest, and his whereabouts were ascertained through a further check of department records, which revealed he was working for a steel company in Huntington Park. l#is arrest and conviction followed.

Our Constitution the pinks, the reds and the yellows. It must, because, once that protection is lifted, mob ba jence could find any of us off “color,” and no one could be safe By RALPH H. TAYLOR in its drive to stimulate the buying of war bonds by farmers, has delved into what farmers are doing with their money—now that agricultural earnings are above normal—and has reached the conclusion ‘that too great a share of the cash surplus is on-deposit in rural banks, where it constitutes a potential inflationary menace. Quite naturally and logically, the treasury department urges the purchase of more war bonds to dissipate jahis danger—adyice, which is cértainly sound, both from the standpoint of the country’s welfare, 4 from the standpoint of the individual farmer, who needs to put some thing away for the inevitable rainy day. It is this writer’s opinion, however, after checking the facts developed by the treasury department, that farmers should also be putting more of their extra cash into the retirement of their debts, so that they will be better conditioned to weather the economic storms which . are certain. to come during the after the war period. ; This suggestion should not be construed as running contrary to that of treasury department: actually, it goes hand in hand with that department’s recommendation. If the farmer, instead of paying another thousand dollars on the mortgage, bonds—ear marking those bonds, in his own. mind, to be used when the war is over toward retiring his debt —he is aiding both his country and his family. Actually, however, many farmers —if the. treasury department’s -fig— ures are correct, as we assume they are—could increase both their bond purchases, and their payments on their debts, and still have more left for running expenses than they have had for many years. And recognizing that the present “boom conditions” can’t possibly last, when the war ends, that would certainly be a provident policy. ‘ Gross farm income in the United States from sales of crops and livestock in 1943 is estimated at $19,138,000,000 — or 23 per cent more than in 1942, and 2.8 times as great as in 1940. (These are treasury department estimates). To the cash farm income from marketing. can be added an. estimated cash item of $600,000,000 which farmers received in the form of government (payments in 1943 making a total cash farm ineome of $19,738,000,000. Incidentally, farmers are un-willing recipients of _ government subsidies at a time such as this, and are doing their utmost to see. that they are abolished. . ‘Cash farm expenses for 1943 were estimated to be $9,700,000,000 and cash expenditures for Aamily living and. personal. expenses at $8, 700,000,000—leaving a. balance of $1,338,000,000. Add to this, says the treasdry department, $3,500,000,000 in cash received by farmers from non farm sources and there remains $4,838,000,000 in the hands of farmers as cash available from 1943 for savings and payment of income taxes. (Now let’s look at what farmers are paying to reduce their indebtedness. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics estimates that in 1942 farmers paid between $750,000,000 and $800,000,000 in the amount of farm mortgage indebtedness. An $800,000,000 payment represents only 5.2 per cent of the 1942 cash farm income from crops, livestock and livestock products. In 1943, according to the. Bureau of Agricutural Economics, farmers paid about 10 per cent more money on mortgage debt than in 1942. A liberal estimate would place the '43 debt payment at $900,000,000, or only 4.7 per cent of the 1943 estimated cash income from crops, livestock and livestock products. The fact that farmers can do still better is amply demonstrated by the analysis from the treasury department. : Farm income available tor poren and income taxes, computed after from the tyranny and outrages of pra. an een The U.S. Treasury Department wants to invest that thousand in war ‘was given Tuesday by principal . . a, Ths Gold Center MONDAY, MAY 22, 1944 Se peer e — anp ene oe wa BOY SCOUTS IN CAMPOREE ON LAKE OLYMPIA Boy Scouts throughout the Tahoe Area, Saturday afternoon gathered at Olympia Park, midway between Grass Valley and Nevada City.

The boys were judged in the various skills and crafts by Leland Smith of the Tahoe National Forest servic, and his judges committee. Saturday evening there was a mammoth campfire, large enough to accommodate all the visitors. Scouts previded the program of stunts, songs and story telling. Sunday morning all scouts attended church services, some of which were conducted on the camp grounds. Each scout, while attending the camporee, was-given one free swim in Lake Olympia. JOB OPENS FOR YOUNG WOMEN © A new field of duty for certain qualified women has been opened by the U. S. Army for the Women’s Army Corps at Arlington Hall Station. Arlington, Virginia, application for which may be made at: either of the U. S. Army Recruiting Stations 444 Market Street or 19 Grant Ave. The duty is with the U. S. Signal (Corps, where the WiAICS are now engaged in highly confidential work. Arlington Hall Station was, before the war one of the most beautiful. colleges for women in the country, and full facilities of the grounds are now open to the wacs stationed there. A limited number of openings are available to young wonien in ‘this community who can qualify for this duty.

A brief resume and demonstration of this program is planned to give a special course to selected scouts at summer camp and also to conduct under the chairmanship of Alvin Carveth, council leadership training chairman, a similar course for scouters at Camp Pahatsi during the middle ‘of September, details of which will be announced to the field. . farm operation, family living and Dersonal items, was $4,200,000,000 in 1942—and is estiniated at §$4,800,000,000 for 1943. It is evident, therefore, if the treasury department figures are correct, that farmers have not yet approached a level of mortgage debt payments which would jeopardize their war bond buying ability. This is the time for farmers to puit it away—in war bonds and in debt retirement payments. There may not be another such time in our lifetime. Don’t fritter it away. Put it away.

Mrs. Grengo, while her husband is in the army, is running a sawmill near Camptonville, Yuba County. She and Nelson, associated with her in this enterprise, were returning home, when the bright lights of approaching car, threatening collision caused her to swerve on a sharp curve.
