5. If all the Jobs that had ex­ isted at one time or another in 1939 had lasted the full year, practically every California work­ er could have avoided involun­ tary unemployment.

6. The number of economic enterprises that pick up, falter, slow down and pick up again, number into the hundreds of thousands. This rise and fall of individual enterprises is distinct from the so-called "business

cycle." In many cases, the fits arW starts could be avoided and joblcssnras cut down. In fash, toning that solution, every wotf| er every businessman, every farmer every community and every 'unit of government can play an important part.

7 Each California community can begin now to make a sur­ vey of its Jobs and workers to find out which are seasonal or spasmodic and what can be done to lengthen the duration of employment for Its wage earners. Workers, businessmen, farmers and government offi­ cials, acting together in .the light of the facts, can then mako specific plans to reduce Jobless- ness.

a smashing success. It was held yesterday, Nov. 14 in the girls' gym. Everyone dressed up for the gala affair and prizes were given for the best costumes.

P. T. . DriveThe boys of dear old Torrance

High school are certainly going to look mighty funny when they come to school wearing make-up. The girls won the P. T. A. drive by quite a good margin. The $15 reward will also go to the girls. Too bad for the boys, they should have worked a little harder, incidentally they will have to carry compacts to keep their make-up fresh all day.
