The president refers tio the coal strike as a national disater, and it is all of that. Reconversion which really got started after the steel strike was settled, with the big bulge in the hold-the-line-price policy of the administration, is now slowing down and, unless some desperate expedient saves us, it will halt completely. f “The best investment in these times,”’ said ja real estate dealer the other day, ‘is ja small farm, that a man can handle himself and . grow his own food.

In a letter to all members of congress from California, the governor ealled attention to the recently enacted disability insurance law adopted by the California legislature, and pointed out payments can start as soon as congress authorizes any state to withdraw employee contributions to the unemployment insurance fund for use in payment at disability benefits. The governor’s action followed a report from James G. Bryant, chairman of the California Employment Stabilization Commission, that the Social Security Board has no authority to allocate funds for payment of disability insurance and that congressional action for commencement of payments after May 21 when the disability insurance law goes into effect, is necessary. Unless congress takes such action payments will be held up until May, 1947 a year after the effective date of the act. In hig letter, the governor said: “T am certain you will agree that there is every social and economic need for prompt action to enable: this important new law to function as soon as possible. Every day that can be gained will be of great importance to workers who may suffer disability and to their families.

Taylor ‘From W. P. Kinig, secretary treasurer of the Californai Wool Growers ; Association comes a story that is cheering from every point of view —a story of city farm cooperation in solving a problem. The problem was a real and very itough one and finally was conquer-# ed by the natural process of inviting all concerned to take a hand in the matter. It was the problem of a sudden glut-of spring lamb on the market, despite the circumstance that millions of city families were ‘Jamib hungry” midwest. A combination of circumstances brought about the situation: To begin with there was a dearth of lamb a few months back. A natural consequence of this shortage as Wing ‘points out was that retail butchers were forced into the habit of saying “sorry, Jady, no lamb today’? and housewives became discouraged and . largely gave up shopping for lamb. About the time this negative habit became generally established the dearth was followed by a deluge of heavy lamib in late February and March. And then old Dame Nature entered the picture, rather mischeviously. Due to unusually good feed conditions in the fall and winter this year’s spring lamib had an excellent grew rapidly and sturdweeks them-—tiwo or three ‘earlier than usual. So packers and retailers found themselves shoulder deep in the . tenderest and tasty spring lamb in . years—right when the consuming public had gotten out of the habit . of expecting lamb and had virtually . quit asking for it. Action was needed—and fast. begun ‘by the National Livestock and Meat Board the meat promotion agency of U. S. producers and pack= ers. Cooperation came spontaneously and enthusiastically. The Regional Service Committee of San Francisco which functions to promote closer relationship betswween the bay communities and rural Northern California lent invaluable the news to millions of consumers to customers—and began to move on the market. written crisis any, Baster in history. is flowing evenly glut is past and done with. port. * mass production, and mass consumption. what pessimists call ten under consumption.

NO PACKAGE* DEAL FOR GOVERNORSHIP Warning that a campaign of misrepresentation against Governor Earl Warren is’ in the making Seth Millington of Gridley past president of the Native Sons of the Golden West and past state commander of the American Legion today urged voters to look behind the charges which will be made and compare them with the facts of the governor’s a istration. “Typ ical of such chafges” said Millington, ‘“s the recent attacck against Governor Warren on his stand. rgearding the OPA.” “Such charges,’ declared Miillington “‘made by the opposition’ through political trickery will be met promptly and thoroughly, However,’ he warned “many similar. misrepresentations will probably be made by the opposition and voters should examine them: closely. 3 “From the way the campaign is ‘shaping’ Millington said “it is likely these misrepresentations will continue because those who want state teontrol returned to party bossism who want to put a ‘package deal’ in the staté capitol are unable to find a single phase of Warren’s administration which they can honestly attack.”’ “The governor has said: ‘No man should be permitted to be both govyernor and political boss. I repeat the pomise I made four years ago— that whenever I leave the governor’s chair, I will return it to the people unencumbered and without any political strings attached to it.’ “Governor Warren has lived up to his promise”’ Millington said. The voters will return him to offfice. Every misrepresentation likely to be made by the proponents of a ‘package deal’ for the state of California will be thoroughly exposed as such.” Veteran Of World War I Succumbs An attendance of 150 members ie expected at the meeting of the Banner Mountain Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars at this evenings dinner meetinig in Seaman’s Lodge, Pioneers Park.

Taylor ‘From W. P. Kinig, secretary treasurer of the Californai Wool Growers ; Association comes a story that is cheering from every point of view —a story of city farm cooperation in solving a problem. The problem was a real and very itough one and finally was conquer-# ed by the natural process of inviting all concerned to take a hand in the matter. It was the problem of a sudden glut-of spring lamb on the market, despite the circumstance that millions of city families were ‘Jamib hungry” midwest. A combination of circumstances brought about the situation: To begin with there was a dearth of lamb a few months back. A natural consequence of this shortage as Wing ‘points out was that retail butchers were forced into the habit of saying “sorry, Jady, no lamb today’? and housewives became discouraged and . largely gave up shopping for lamb. About the time this negative habit became generally established the dearth was followed by a deluge of heavy lamib in late February and March. And then old Dame Nature entered the picture, rather mischeviously. Due to unusually good feed conditions in the fall and winter this year’s spring lamib had an excellent grew rapidly and sturdweeks them-—tiwo or three ‘earlier than usual.

NO PACKAGE* DEAL FOR GOVERNORSHIP Warning that a campaign of misrepresentation against Governor Earl Warren is’ in the making Seth Millington of Gridley past president of the Native Sons of the Golden West and past state commander of the American Legion today urged voters to look behind the charges which will be made and compare them with the facts of the governor’s a istration. “Typ ical of such chafges” said Millington, ‘“s the recent attacck against Governor Warren on his stand. rgearding the OPA.” “Such charges,’ declared Miillington “‘made by the opposition’ through political trickery will be met promptly and thoroughly, However,’ he warned “many similar. misrepresentations will probably be made by the opposition and voters should examine them: closely. 3 “From the way the campaign is ‘shaping’ Millington said “it is likely these misrepresentations will continue because those who want state teontrol returned to party bossism who want to put a ‘package deal’ in the staté capitol are unable to find a single phase of Warren’s administration which they can honestly attack.”’ “The governor has said: ‘No man should be permitted to be both govyernor and political boss. I repeat the pomise I made four years ago— that whenever I leave the governor’s chair, I will return it to the people unencumbered and without any political strings attached to it.’ “Governor Warren has lived up to his promise”’ Millington said. The voters will return him to offfice. Every misrepresentation likely to be made by the proponents of a ‘package deal’ for the state of California will be thoroughly exposed as such.” Veteran Of World War I Succumbs An attendance of 150 members ie expected at the meeting of the Banner Mountain Post of Veterans of Foreign Wars at this evenings dinner meetinig in Seaman’s Lodge, Pioneers Park.
