State Law Demand Source of Dissension Efforts of the water company officials to amend their articles of incorporation to comply with the new state law which goes into effect next year Is the source of the present dissension. Numerous water companies throughout the Southland have had to change their articles, and this Is believed to be one of the first cases where sharehold ers raised any objection to the legal technicalities involved.

H. Burch of the chamber of commerce suggested yesterday. He 13 a member of the newly-organized committee to handle welfare activities for the city of Colton. "Thousands of communities In the nation soon will be engaged in the solicitation of money, clothing, food and jobs for needy said Mr. Burch.

"In Colton, It is obvious that the Associated Charities should be in direct charge of the Hub City campaign. Only 40 Employed On Road Projects "When consideration Is given to the forthcoming campaign, however, the importance of obtaining jobs should not be overlooked. Forty Colton residents have been given employment, each working three days a week on state highway projects, but the need for employment Is still urgent for twice as many others at the Hub City. "In practically all cases now being handled through charitable channels, these families -could be taken entirely from the list If one of their members could be given steady employment. "The men who are coming to the chamber of commerce to register for work do not want gifts of money, unless they become absolutely destitute.

Instead, they want the privilege of working, and to earn sufficient money to keep their families and themselves on a minimum living basis. "Persons who during a campaign will pledge so many days or hours of work, will be performing just as great a service as those who con tribute a corresponding sum of money." While no steps toward conducting a canvass have been taken, Mr. Burch said an Improvement could be gained if persons willing to pro vide a few hours of work for competent help would notify the cham ber of commerce offices. Activities of the Colton Welfare society are being merged into the Associated Charities, with numer ous organizations appointing repre sentatives to serve upon the cen tral council. W.

J. Nolan is president and Mrs. Ada Pettijohn Is treasurer. An entertainment held at the Lincoln school auditorium this week, the first since organization of the Associated Charities, netted proceeds of $14 for the treasury. Other functions also are being planned.
