The editorial urges Shafter to adopt a year round beautification program including tree planting and lot clearing after a holiday charity drive. It notes mud after rains, praises Councilman McClure for city work and police and fire oversight, and mentions school resumes January 6 followed by the Coronation Ball with elections drawing interest.
City Clerk Frank Shaw reports the Shafter population inside city limits at 2559 from a survey based on garbage service and utility users. Figures will go to the Post Office for mail delivery eligibility once the 2500 threshold is met. Urban area population exceeds 12,000 per post office estimates.
Residents are urged to place Christmas trees with their regular refuse when disposing after the holiday. The trees will be repurposed as dec orations for the Coronation Ball, with pickup along the usual garbage route.
The report from Rep. Colmer's committee calls for a reduced federal budget to $30 billion, more low cost housing, peacetime economic cooperation, new presidential powers, and a War Mobilization like agency. It also notes possible merger of armed services and probes newsprint supply, while other lawmakers push tax and electoral reform proposals.
