Because there are more registered voters than ever before, some precincts have been split into four boards, where there ’ were only three at prior elections, Melba Polglase, deputy county clerk, reported to supervisors this week. Mrs. Polglase asked that polling places having three or four boards be paid additional compensation. She feels that such compensation is justified for those places which will have close to 1,000 persons eligible to vote. Supervisors agreed to pay $15 extra for each board over two New rule on mining claim assessment Assessment work on a mining claim in the past has been considered protection against claim jumping but new regulations make failure to complete the yearly assessment work rea_ son for cancellation of the claim by the federal government, Congressman Harold (Bizz) Johnson writes that new regulations subject mining claims to cancellation, even ifthe claim is on Bureau of Land Management or Forest Service land, if the annual $100 assessment work is not accomplished. ° Congressman Johnson quotes the new regulation: ‘Failure of a mining claimant to comply substantially with the requirements of an annual expenditure of $100 in labor or improvements on a claim imposed by section 2324 of the Revised Statutes — will render the claim subject to cancellation. ‘¢Failure to make the expenditures or perform the labor required upon a location will sub-. ject a claim to relocation unless the original locator, his heirs, assigns, or legal representatives have resumed work after such failure and before relocation.”’ in any one polling place. Immediately after the election Mrs. Polglase said, she willask for the establishment of new precinct boundary lines. The request will be to facilitate separating the large precincts geographically rather than alphabetically.

That, simply stated, is over population. And, if serious measures are not undertaken in the immediate future, migration to outer space may be the only way out. But, as marvelous as has been the success of man in traveling to outerspace, the possibility of settlement on another planet is too remote to bank on. The world must quit dreaming and face up to the facts, It cannot continue relegating the subject of population to the category of the weather as something just to talk about. The 1970 world population stood at 3.6 billion and according to the United Nations will double before the year 2000 unless action is taken. Its current annual growth is nearly equal to one half of the population of the United States. Near two thirds of this population. is in Asia which has the highest annual growth in the world and economically is the least able to support it. But financial ability to support a population still leaves the problem of space. And while man has done miracles in outer space he has done a poor job in utilizing space on earth. Two cities in Japan have a total population greater than all of California. Twelve cities in the world contain a population matching one half the United States. Two of these cities are in the U. S. Forty of the world's urban areas have a combined population greater than the United States, Two of these great urban areas are in California which brings the problem right to the doorstep. For more than half of the total state population is centered in the Los Angeles and San Francisco urban areas, While some of California's and the nation's growth problems can be attributed to migration, it remains that the world growth, as well as that of the nation and the state, stems from the absence of birth control. What is true world wide is also true at home. Those in the lower economic brackets contribute the most to population growth. In the face of these facts the arguments over the propriety of birth control and abortions continue. Society is slowly accepting the idea of the need for education and promotion of birth control but the attitude of large numbers towards abortions remains adamant. As for management of space, California was born of a boom and bust philosophy. Its history has been one of vigorously promotion growth. It bragged about it. It went out of its way to bring in industry, to spur commercial and residential development, Those who would stand in the way of "progress" by hanging .on‘to their farms and other open land were roundly criticised. Worse, the tax assessors moved in with their theories that the land should be assessed at "its highest potential use". This fine philosophy drove the farmers out of the richly fertile Santa Clara’ Valley and-the highly productive farms of Orange County as well as many other areas. Now the light is dawning in many places. The City of Los Angeles, the worst offender of all in seeking newcomers in the past, is presently considering plans to downzone as a means of limiting its growth, With a population just under 3 million it faces an ultimate increase to over 10 million. Through downzoning it would limit this to 4 million. Even itsnewspapers are advocating such control. The City of Palo Alto has gone further. It has actually set out to save its open space, appropriating funds for the purchase of surrounding areas as well as downzoning one and five acre lots to a 10 acre requirement. Fortunately, excepting for the bay area, most of northern California still has time to institute programs to preserve the open space which remains, As it says in Corinthians, ‘Take heed." ; False bomb report charge Gregory Russell Bennett, 21, of Grass Valley is charged with making a false bomb report to Grass Valley police.
