SAN RHRAINCISCO, Sept. 17—Cali. Pe ae : : Me

lems—inecluding danger to farm
i . ‘
which have guarded the west coast; crops through labor scarcity, surocean front since Pearl Harbor, making extended daily scouting and patrol flightg from Moffett Field hanwars at the south end, of San Franeisco bay. They’ve been a welcome
sight to the short crewed, hard
working commercial fishermen, too
—as the patrol duties have included
scouting for schools of fish along the
patrol routes, and radioing back the
location, size, and approximate direction of the fish schools to Moffett
Field: From there the word is passed to the fishermen’s dispatching
headquarters in San Francisco or
Monterey. ;
To enable patrol blimp crew members to recognize various types of
fish. Coast Guard men, who are former commercial fishermen, go on
patrol flights with the blimps and
conduct their ‘“‘recognition’’ . school
from the air. When a school is
sighted. the blimps slowly circle the
area and then report: by radio the
kind of fish, approximate size of the
school, and their probalble direction.
When the fishing fleets put out
from Fisherman’s Wharf in San
Francisco or from Monterey bay they .
are fully informeé of their most likely fishing grounds for the night.
‘Because the blimps cruise at low
speeds they are ideal “spotting platforms’ for the Coast Guard ex-fishermen,-and for the other blimp crew
members. The spotter usually sits in
the plexiglass nose of the blimp,
cab, where he has an unobstructed
view of the ocean ahead, below, and
to each side. Fish can normally be
epotted within a radius of ane third
of a mile.
Whenever the blimps sail over the
fishing fleet, the firsermen give the
bevs in blue overhead a big wave of
welcome and comradship—knowing
they are working together to provide
a full hold of fish every day for the
American market.

swiftly moving developments are
changing conditions rapidly, but out
of the somewhat confusing reports
of details, the general outline of California’s conversion and _ readjustment patterng are beginning to emerge.’”’ Harry A. Mitchell, San Francisco, second vice president reported. “The California situation differs
in many respects from other parts
of the nation. Best available evidence
now indicates the period of heaviest
transsitional unemployment will arrive considerably later in the~Pacific
Coast port areas than in other parts
of the nation.”
Resumption of the California state
fair as a stimulus to improve quality and yelds was urged. The management of the state chamber was
instructed to cooperate with the
Society in
procuring army release of the state
fair grounds at Sacramento by January 1, 1946, The army has used the
fair grounds.for four years. It was
stated early return is necessary to
restore landscaping, renovate buildings and allow farmers and _ stockmen time to prepare and condition

NEW ‘BOMB’
INSECTICIDEFOR
CIVILIAN USE
Farmerg living near three or four
selected cities soon will have an opportunity to try out the aerosol
“bomb” for killing flies and mosquitos in their barns and homes.
This insecticide has been used extensively by the army and navy luring the war. It is a spray which penetrates the air and in any enclosed
space. It is easy to use since the solution is combined with a harmless gas
in liquid form which generates pressure at ordinary room temperature
and causes a spray when the valve
of the dispenser is opened.
Manufacturers will place 10,000
of the one pound “bombs” on sale in
the cities on an experimental basis.
The OPA has set a retail ceiling price
of four dollars on the ‘tbomb’’. This
price OPA explained is necessary to
cover the cost of producing the dispenser and the insecticide. The dispenser has a cut off valve which permits it to be used a number of times. The dispenser to be used for this
trial sale are not refillable.
Dayton, Ohio, and Houston and
Galvestin, Texas are cities tentatively
chosen for the experimental sale,
with another city possibly to be selected also.
PREVENTS FOREST FIRE
W. R. Grant, of Kings Beach, Lake
Tahoe, while fishing near Antone
Meadows on September 3, found a
small fire that had escaped from a
campfire that had not been properly
cleaned around it down to mineral
dirt. although the builder had put
‘water-on it, and coralled the fire to
a few square feet before reporting it
to the forest service, who dispatched the fire truck at Lake Tahoe to
complete the job of putting out the
fire, states district ranger BE. I. Snider. Since the fire was in a partial
blind area to lookout stations, five
miles northeast of Tahoe City, this
was a fortunate discovery and Grant
earned his title of a good woodsman.

Employment of Handicapped
Both as: an inducement for industry to hire handicapped veterans
and a protection to both industry and
the veteran, 28 state legislatures
have now enacted second-injuryfund statutes which, in general, require employers’ to pay workmen’s
compensation only for specific second injuries.
The fund pays the additional costs
of permanent total disability resulting from the loss of a hand, arm,
foot, leg or eye, following a previous loss of one of these members or
organs. The fund is usually financed
by payments of fixed amounts by
an employer or his insurance company in the case of death of an
employee having no dependents.
Freed from the fear of heavy permanent total disability charges in
these case&S, employers are much
more willing to employ handicapped
workers. f
According to records submitted by
the department of labor, the cost of
maintaining second injury funds is
small, for recent studies show handicapped workers are actually more
careful than normal employees and
have a lower accident frequency.
Employers had been reluctant to
hire these handicapped veterans lest
they suffer second injuries, become
permanently and totally disabled
and cost employers increased workmen’s compensation charges.
States which have established
these second injury funds include
Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Maine,
Massachwsetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah,
Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas,
Maryland, Oregon, Tennessee,
Washington and Wyoming.. Wisconsin, North Dakota, Ohio and West
Virginia have equivalent arrange. ments while California, Connecticut
and Pennsylvania have such legislation pending.

NO WOMAN ENJOYS WASH DAY
She doesn’t enjoy it because to save money she has to work without
a salary. If she were paid in cash money for her time, it would be
cheaper to send the family wash to a laundry and hire it done. Why?
Because with all the latest time saving machinery it can be done for
less money than it costs to do the work at home. Send your laundry
to us, try it, and figure it our yourself.
