(Bizz) Johnson said the total represents the largest single allocation to any one state, The funds are available to the states for matching grants for outdoor recreation acquisition and development by state, county and municipal agencies. Smokey Says: = SOE “ASHES ARE DEADOUT Natt One way to prevent dangerous wildfires! Johnson urges Nixon to free works funds WASHINGTON, D. C, > California Congressman Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson has urged the President to implement quickly and fully the public works development program funded by Congress for the current fiscal year, ‘ At stake is some $90 million in Second Congressional District development funds which Representative Johnson said not only would move ahead the nation’s effort to conserve its water resources, but also would help ease a serious unemployment problem. "No one is more aware of the major unemployment problems which this nation faces than you, Mr. President, I am sure," Congressman Johnsontold the President in a direct appeal for release of the public works appropriations. “Public Works construction, in my mind, is the fastest, most efficient and most effective way of putting people to work." The veteran California legislator who chairs the Irrigation and Reclamation Subcommittee of the House of Representatives and is a senior member of the Rivers and Harbors Subcommittee, believes that the projects funded by the Congress this year "would be greatly beneficial in’ seeking full employment." Congressman Johnson described the $90,00C funding program for the Second District as "realistic" in view of the tight fiscal situation which exists in the nation. The Congressman stressed that expenditures in water resources of this type are valuable investments in the future of the nation, an investment which over the years returns substantial dividends to the Federal treasury. Much of the project costs are reimbursible through the sale of water and power. The Second District program calls for continued construction on the Auburn Dam Project, the Folsom South Canal, New Melones’ Reservoir, the Tehama Colusa Canal, Hidden and Buchanan Reservoirs, design work on Sugar Pine Reservoir and the Chester Flood Control Project and work on a variety of other projects located throughout the Second Congressional District. Among projects affecting the Second District contained in Public Law 92-405, funds for which have not yet been released by the President are: U, S. Bureau of Reclamation: Auburn Reservoir, $24,359,C0C, continue construction; FolsomSouth Canal, $5,841,000, continue construction; Nevada Irrigation _ District, $1,476,000, continue construction. U. S. Army Corps of Engineers: Martis Creek, $450,000, complete project, Marysville Reservoir, $950,000, resume design work; Truckee River, $50,000, continue survey. War 2, Korean.vets near Cal-Vet deadline John Kotstra, county veterans service officer, today warned California veterans of the World War Iland Korean War Periods to be aware of the impending date of Nov. 12, which for many is the eligibility termination date for Cal-Vet Farm and Home Loans. After Nov, 12, 1972, the loan eligibility Period for veterans of this state is limited to twenty (20) years from the date of his discharge from military service. Kootstra stated "This upcoming date was established by legislative action in 1970, Tt extended by two years a termination date set by the legislature in 1968, Although much publicity was generated at the time of the bill's passage, many of our California veterans out of the military 20 years, or nearly 20, seem unaware that they must Select a home and make appli; cation by Nov, 12th of this year. In previous years, and prior to enactment of this legislation, California veterans had lifetime eligibility for State Farm and Home Loans, The veterans service officer also explained that "the legislature gave careful consideration to the establishment of a cut-off date. They concluded that the majority of California veterans had reasonable opportunity to apply for these loans, World War II ended 27 years ago and it has been 17 years since the close of the Korean War." A strong factor leading to the establishment of limited eligibility for Cal-Vet loans was the need of 80,000 new Vietnam War veterans for whom loans must now be provided. These changes apply only to the California state program and are not related to the Federal Loan Guarantee Program (G.L Home Loans), which continues as before. The Cal-Vet loan interest remains at a low 4 1/4 per cent on $20,000 maximum home loans and $80,000 maximum farm loans, California veterans may apply for loans at Cal-Vet Farm and Home Loan Offices located in San Diego, Anaheim, San* Bernardino, Van Nuys, Fresno, Santa Clara, Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento and Redding. General information is available from the County Veterans Service Office at the Veterans Memorial Building, 255 South Auburn Street, Grass Valley.
