The protestors learned on reaching the meeting that the petitioner, George Kardashian, proposed to carry at least 55,000 hogs on the acreage near Humphreys, should the permit be granted.

Kardashian was the only individual who advocated the permit. The big turnout of interested citizens was an indication of the strength of the general sentiment agalhsf the "invasion pf the valley by garbage feeders. The protesters were a bit awed when they learned the huge number of hogs which Kardashian proposed to slop. His present ranch has a permit for 5,000, and natives of the area estimated the actual number there now at one to two thousand above that. So far as is known, no other 'bogslopping operation "of the magnitude of 55,000 exists.

behalf of the protesters, talks' were made by Judge Arthur C. Miller, John Perry, administrator of the; Nadeau estate, Alf Clark, Paul Palmer, Sam Garrett, Mrs. -Martha Baker and Mrs. Mitchell. Judge Miller submitted an abstract of complaints which the county health authorities have previously made against the existing Kardashian- ranch.

The Planning Commission did not announce its final decision on the permit, but it was evident that the commission members were deeply impressed by the strength be Supervisor Jessup field representative, Col.

To show you how these racketeers work let us tell you about the latest racket A hot shot salesman came into the Signal office and wanted to buy a half page of space at regular advertising rates, which amounts to about 25 bucks. This space the. salesman proposed to fill with a crude layout "whiclTeontained twelve small panels. Each one of these small pan els he was gomg to sell to some sucker for five bucks, on the the- ory that the lay-out and the art work had very special, magic, pulling power. If he could find 12 suckers he would gross 60 bucks.

Twenty-five of this he would pay The Signal. The balance of 35 bucks would be pure profit for the racketeer. And what would the customer get for his 5 bucks? He would have got the same space he could have got from The Signal-direct, with the same pulling power, and the same reader attention, and better art work, for one dollar and five cents.

As chairman of the sponsoring organization I would like to thank and compliment every business which took part. I believe all of us attained results on this cooperative effort which we could never have reached individually." The only advance advertising for the day was placed through The Newhall Sig- nal, which put either a Signal or a Traders Guide in every postal box in the area last Friday morning.
