How can you help to protect your job? If you are a citizen you can tell the honest truth when you write your friends and relatives outside of the State that are No Jobs in If you are an employer you can demand positive proof of a prospective employee that he is a honafide resident of the State By doing these things you can help to protect your jobs and California 3 pionship held in Los Angeles at the Lakeside Country Club and
