Properties were disposed of os rapidly as possible passing into useful hands where they would continue to serve agriculture. As a direct result of the Councils business acumen and plain hard work, California agriculture will continue to reap the benefit of its labors for ycais to come. Its operating methods will stand as a model which all government bureaus could well emulate, and in the hands of its farmer-directors its functions were as free from politics as any organization could possibly boast. The Councils directors deserve a sincere vote of public thanks. F.

The Navy did not suffer as severely at the hands of the cotn-mittee as the Interior Department, which received a 45 per cent slash, nor the State, Commerce and Justice Departments and the Judiciary which were cut by 33 per cent. The House has okayed both of the latter cuts. One committee member said an approximate seven per ceht reduction in Navy and Marine officers and men may be necessary if the committee slash in naval appropriations is accepted by Congress. The committee said the Navy Department estimated its total Naval and Marine strength next year at 586,000 officers and men. A seven per cent cut would knock out almost 40,000 of these! pioneer founders of the town, as well as the poet, John Greenleaf Whittier, after whom the town was named.

Dont overlook it Devin Holds Press Coverage Partly To Blame For Big Four Failure To Write Peace Pacts In Moscow By United Press I LONDON, May 16. Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin today charged in the House of Commons that the full press coverage given the Big Four conference in Moscow was one of the biggest hands in writing the German peace treaties off the agenda, Bevin charged that the Uinted States was primarily to blame for the situation.

One of our greatest handicaps, Bevin said, winding up a two-day debate on foreign policy and I want to make it clear that I want no secret commitments is that I might not even think aloud without its hurled over the headlines of the If 1 press. The Farmers Corner The California Farm Production Council, as pointed out in its final report, was truly an agency of government operating as a business, It functioned without the usual red tape so common to gov-j eminent bureaus, and applied sound business principles to its task. The job It had to do was a big one, and Us contribution to the war effort in providing food and agricultural materials to nurture and help build the nations sinews of battle can hardly be overestimated. While the authority given the Council was very broad, it promptly undertook to coordinate its activities with those of other agencies to avoid duplication of effort. Thus, the securing and placement of farm labor was left to the Agricultural Extension Service, which had been given this mandate by Federal act, and the Office of labor of the War Food Administration, which handled the recruitment of Mexican and other nationals.

These agencies and others cooperated to the hilt with the Councils program. But the whole problem of housing, transportation, feeding, and caring for these workers, and assisting growers in critical production problems, become the full responsibility of the Council. By every means at its command, the Council waded into the formidable task of securing permanent, temporary, and portable housing for the use of farm workers. It secured the State to obtain housing and equipment from various federal agencies, as well as the old pre-wfcr SRA (State Relief Administration and made use of county and district fair properties. Japanese assembly camps, and anything which might serve to relieve the housing difficulties.

To this end, the Council set up number of camps in strategic locations some of a fairly permanent nature, some wholly temporary, and others strictly mobile, and went to the assistance of farmers needing material for shelter on their own farms. It also assisted in establishing student harvest camps and utilizing prisoner-of-war labor. the inception of the Mexican national camp program which the Mexican Government lent its full support, the major problem was to provide comissary service tin the various camps for workers housed there by the Council. To meet this need, the Council entered into contracts with commissary companies and meals served were on a remibursable basis, either the worker or employer. In connection with the enlistment of Mexican nationals for California farm work it must be recognized that their employment was not a means of getting cheap labor, for the cost to the producers as well as to the State of securing these nationals was greater than that involved in obtaining American workers.

In addition to housing the Council provided equipment and supplies such as tents, refrigerators, cots, mattresses, blankets, ranges, sinks, and hundreds of other items, obtained through various channels at times when they were unavailable through normal sources. On the basis of a survey which revealed how critical farm housing problems would continue to be after the war, the Council contacted federal agencies charged with the disposal of surplus property to obtain facilities and installations vital to farm housing projects. In this way, a very serious shortage For those between range jobs in homes and industry NOTICE FOR TRANSPORTATION BIDS FOR THE 1947-48 SCHOOL EAR The Trustees of the Escondido Union High School District will receive bids up to and inclusive of June 10, 1947, at 3:00 P.M. for transportation of pupils to and from school over the following described routes: Route 1 Not to exceed sixty (60) miles per day, in paits of the Escondido Valley north of the river and east of Lime Street, including the Rincon School District.
