oe ea . Page Four _ BLIMPS SPOT ARMY RELEASE SCHOOLS OF FISH OF STATE FAIR FOR FISHERMEN } Long familiar to San Francisco} . GROUNDS URGED SAN RHRAINCISCO, Sept. 17—Cali. Pe ae : : Me bay area residents are the navy’s, fornia’s postwar situation and probswift, graceful patrol~ “blimps” —. 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. “The first English charter granted ffor settlement in America wag that of James I, 16066 for the planting of colonies in Virginia. . California Agricultural plus disposal and water resources utilization—-were considered. by the board of directors of the California State Chamber of Commerce meeting in San. Francisco, Harrison S. Robinson, Oakland, president of the organization, conducted the meeting. layoff of war ‘workers and _ they controls, war contract terminations, layoff of war worke,s' and other 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 crops and livestock for proper exhibition.

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. * = & Questions and Answers Q.—Can the mother of an illegitimate child file an application for family allowance, if a soldier is the father?
