The piece recalls Rep Edward Roybal’s CCC days in the 1930s, detailing his Los Angeles upbringing, enlistment in the Civilian Conservation Corps, camp life at Buckeye in Sequoia National Park, and the program’s role in providing work, education, and purpose that helped him pursue higher learning and a political career. Roybal notes discrimination, the need to start, and the CCC’s tasks like road building, fire breaks, soil dams, and forest firefighting, with monthly pay and family remittance.

Exemption For Disabled Elderly In Kansas
Topeka AP State tax exemption can be granted by the Legislature for homes owned and occupied by persons over 65 who are permanently disabled. Atty. Gen. William Ferguson ruled that constitutional exemptions do not bar the Legislature from extending exemptions. The council committee heard that a group representing educators has reached a general agreement on a new school finance law including state aid for transportation construction and debts. Unified districts should receive more per pupil than other districts, and all grades including kindergarten would be supported.
