Factories and new industries!
Almost every California town has
ample electric power and other utili-
ties-and a vacant space to put a
factory. Santa Clara, San Bernardo
no, Pomona, Riverside, Gridley,
Oroville, Lodi and dozens of other
California towns are looking for foot
loose factories that can be located
where there are raw materials on
the spot.
New Developments Noted.
And if factories won't do all the
job, what about the new develop
ments in the great Central valley?
A new irrigation, food control and
power project there includes Shasta
dam on Sacramento river Friant
dam on San Joaquin river and nu-
merous irrigation canals. Nine
miles downstream from Shasta,
Kenwick dam is being constructed
to create an afterbay reservoir for
the Shasta power plant and generate
additional power itself This devel-
opment will take care of thousands
more people from Redding to Bak-
ersfield, including the San Francisco

Perhaps California has been

TRANSFORMING TOKYO

TOKYO - japanese plan
ners see big things ahead for
Tokyo City - but it means
shrinking the capital to half
it's pre-war size.
In five years, if city fathers
have their way, they'll rebuild
and slim down the war-batter-
ed metropolis into model of
modern city planning. They'll
take advantage of the fact that
during the war the city was
thoroughly Quilted by fire, ex-
cept for part of the downtown
business section which fits in
to their geographical schemes.
The Transformation of To-
kyo would take considerable
cash, to be sure, and it must
be conceded that simpler JAP
anese plans have in the past
gone astray.
The Tokyo of early Deem
Der, 1911, was one of the
worlds most inefficiently laid
out cities, although it had been
rebuilt along Western lines af-
ter the 1923 earthquake and
fire. 1t often took businessmen
an hour and a half to reach
their offices from homes on
ly three miles from the heart
of the city. Narrow streets, the
lack of through thoroughfares
and slow-moving street cars
and buses made transportation
in the capital little faster than
walking.

cessful, three additional units
will be placed on the roads OF
Illinois later. The first one will
cost in the neighborhood Of
$4,000, DR.. Deuel. says. The
state expects the entire project
of four mobile trucks to cost
approximately $125,000.
Along with the exhibits, Of
ficials expect to present NOV
ing pictures on the work of the
state museum.
When country roads are
passable, the truck will be as
signed to country schoolhouses,
but when weather conditions
make roads impossible the
unit will visit schools in the
city.
The state museum in Spring
field is open to callers every
day in the year with the excep-
ton of July Fourth, Thanks
giving Day, Christmas Day and
New Years, and draws annu-
ally over 100000 people,
about 10000 of whom are
school children, according to
records.
There are some youngsters,
however, scattered over the
entire state, who may never
have the opportunity to see
any part of the great museum
and the museum mobile unit
is being set up for these chill
dren, DR.. Deuel. said.
The mobile unit will be con-
structed on the interior so ex-
hibits will be interchangeable.
In the event that four units are
equipped, routes will be map
ped for each unit.
"There may be many substi-
tutions and changes even in
our present Plans" said DR..
Deuel., |'but the ground plans
have been laid and our old
dream of many years will soon
be a reality"

NEWS RELEASE FROM
OFFICE OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION

In a letter addressed to all
Illinois county school superin-
tendents issued today, Vernon
L. Nickel, superintendent of
public instruction, pointed out
that the new 65 million dollar
school lunch program appro-
priation bill recently approved
by Congress provides only for
food costs and eliminates all
non-food assistance.
Total ALLEGATION for food as
sistance in Illinois is 81, 273,-
1880 less this year than last,
The letter concludes that
since Congress has agreed that
the school lunch program is
worthwhile and important, it
is essentially a local program,
and it is likely the obligations
entailed for the program will
very shortly pass to state and
local support level.
Since Illinois share of the
allotment is now known, new
application blanks are going
forward for the use of schools
wishing to participate in this
years program.
1t will therefore be neces-
sary to cut federal subsidy
rates by meal type to make the
money last throughout the
school year.

PLAN "MUSEUM ON
WHEELS" FOR CHILDREN

Even grown folks sometimes
have their dreams come true.
That's how it happened to
officials of the Illinois state
museum who, after many,
many years of planning and
dreaming, can now say that in
less than year, they will put
part of their huge museum on
wheels and send it to country
and city schools throughout
Illinois.
Although this dream is still
in the making, DR.. Thorne
Deuel., museum director, says
one mobile unit will be bought
this next year and along with
various other exhibits, will be
equipped wit h "dioramas"
miniature diagrams with tiny
models of wax). Some of these
diagrams will tell the story of
illinois and it's growth as a
great state in the union begin
ming with the Indian occupa-
ton, covering the colonial per-
lod and up to the modern I'LL
nois of today. These will be
placed in the unit at eye level.
In the proposed mobile unit
there will be glass covered
drawers beneath the dioramas
containing products which
have made Illinois famous, to-
gether with actual specimens
of fish, fossils and birds.
DR.. Deuel. says the state will
purchase the chassis, then, if
possible, have a special truck
body built with a maximum
length of As feet. A semitrailer
may have to fill the bill, Deuel.

would weigh about $4,000
pounds.
The museum will try out the
first mobile unit and in the

POPULATION BOOM

Last week the Census Bureau made public it's estimate that the population of the United States has grown by 22790OO in a single year, The figure represents the greatest addition to the population in any single year in the history of the country.
 Where did it come from? Certainly not from immigration, which has been virtually suspended since the beginning the and even before that the annual influx represented more than a slight ickle by comparison to the immigration figures fer any years between 1840 and 1914 Thus we scarcely need the Census Bureaus explanation that virtually all the newcomers to be accounted for by procrea ton within our own country. We must however, rec oncile this with the fact that for than half a century the birth rate of the United States has been generally declining. There was slight inter- ruption to this tendency during and immediately after World War I, and another is evident now but it does not yet appear that the trend has been reversed CT even permanently interrupted will be seen by comparing the rate of 35 births per thousand population in 1880 with that of 21.5 per thousand in l943 Thus, although all but 251Ooo of those who arrived here 1946 for permanent resi- dence are native Americans. the proportion of new babies the whole population is less than half what it was in 1880 The expansion for the rise in popula- ton spite of this trend is of course the even more rapidly diminishing death rate in other words the excess of births over deaths.
 Not many years ago the actuaries were confident that the crop in the birth rate would overtake the drop death They believed that before the end of the century the population of the country would become static for time about 180 millions, which would ha followed by a gradual decline of population.
 The upward turn in the birth rate continues, but has far to climb before it reaches the figure of fifty-seven fifty-eight years ago. Meanwhile, we may note that either declining rapidly growing population would bring it's own problems. diminish

 Americas robot airplane' which spans the oceans these days without assistance from any crewman should give foreign powers cause for study and con- sideratop.

 But important still is our own atom bomb, There is no reason to believe that, with the new automatic plane control would have difficulty in sending atom bombs enemy strong points, The release of such bombs could be accomplished and the ships carrying them might be returned to their bases. without endangering any U.

 Another problem in shipping gram and flour is weevil. That's why the help of local grain eleva- tors or farm co-ops is important Weevil can easily be prevented, but it takes regular shippers to prepare the car in advance.
 Watching these factors at the shipping end saves a lot of waste at the receiving end.
