The change-over is a result of the city's plan to keep the parking meters in top mechanical condition and at the same time, give the downtown shopper the most for his meter money. SAV Kennel Club Fetes Dog Week With National Dog Week, Sept. 20-27, members of the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club receives its aims and purposes, set down more than five years ago when the group met to found the organization. They realized that there were plenty of dog shows but this group wanted something more—it wanted an active club of people from all walks of life and fanciers of all breeds of dogs. The result was the formation of the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club. In the past five years the club has broken many records and established new and novel procedures all the way. From an unknown quantity giving it first qualifying Sanctioned Match Show — which turned out to be the largest all breed match on record—to a vigorous kennel club with a membership just short of 500 Last year's show was one of the largest undervied from the Dog shows and United States. The unbented show is held in La Palma Park, Anaheim, in April of each year. Not content with being merely a show-giving club, the membership recruited the process from last year's show and decided to do something truly constructive for the welfare of dogs and small animals in general. The idea behind this being that the funds are derived from the Dog shows and should go back into the dog world in some way. The result—an ordered senior scholarship loan at the University of California School of Veterinary Medicine at Davis This is to be a self-performing contribution to the welfare of serving students preparing to devote their lives to the care and treatment of small animals. The second payment into the loan will be made on Oct. 14 at the installation dinner for the new members of the club Dean Hunt of the University will attend to be presented with the second installment into the loan fund. The original taking advantage of the low fixed rate. The new meter heads, among other features, credit accumulative time for the user. For example, should a shopper find a meter with 12 minutes posted from a previous user, any coin added would automatically credit the additional time to the meter. Although not recommended, the new meters will accept a dime in the mechanism and give full credit to the user. Formerly, any coin posted other than a penny or nickle was lost. Assigned to make the meter head changes are patrolmen Forest Wolterton, Leonard (Bud) Eagleston and motor officer Norbert DeCock. To effect maximum savings on the switch-over, coins on the old meters are being used on the new heads as are the old identification and instruction plates. The modifications are being done at the rate of some $2 per day by officer Wolterton in the city's meter shop set up in the police department. Manufactured by the Magee Park-O-Meter Corp., the meter heads are constructed of cast aluminum with all brass and bronze fittings include these intricate watch-like works designed to regulate and clock any interval of time posted through use of pennies or nickles. The new meters are set up in three time categories: Meter clocking one-hour time limits will be found in the 180 and 200 blocks on East and West Center St., with two hour meters extending further out; and one-body meter in the 100 and 200 blocks on North and South Los Angeles St. Special 15-minute meters are installed in front of all drug stores. Anaheim has used parking meters since December 1948. The funds accumulated through use of the meters is placed in a special city fund for the purchase of additional off-street parking facilities. All meters used in the city are owned by the city. Many cities have their meters on a percentage basis. All maintenance on the meters is done in local shops with officer Wolterton in charge of operations. To give the most in service...

Smith, 734 North Clementine St., demanded equity in the cutting up of the property. Previously council had approved the tentative and final zoning maps for Heffern on his proposed tract West of the property owned by Mrs. Smith. Bone of contention between the two land owners concerns the cutting through of North Ohio street from Alberta to Wilhelmina St. Heffern contends that it will cause heavy traffic through his tract if Ohio is made a through street; while Mrs. Smith charges that a portion of her property will be isolated unless the street is developed. Her appearance before Council yesterday brought the comment by neighbors headed by H. Wills Watkins, that cutting of Ohio St. through to Wilhelmina would be of greater public service to the community than forcing a permanent closing of the area. Irrigation Seepage Studied in Idaho MOSCOW, Idaho — The answer to the serious irrigation problem of water loss through seepage is being sought by engineers of the University of Idaho and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in experiments on canals in southwestern Idaho. The gravity of the situation is noted by Calvin G. Warnick, research assistant professor of civil engineering. He reports that as much as 70 per cent of the canal water is lost through seepage in sandy soils before reaching the field. Study on the so-called Black Canyon project is being conducted in two sets of experiments. The first step is to check seepage losses with and without natural silt in the canals. The second is to test the effectiveness of the various canal linings. The first problem the researchers solved was the finding of an accurate means to measure canal losses. The purpose of the study is to aid the irrigation farmer in determining which lining is most economical and most enduring.

List, manager of the Santa Ana social security office. In some cases, List indicated a delay in filing an application until the last three months of the year may result in somewhat lower monthly old-age insurance payments. But, he emphasized, the problem is limited to only a few of the self-employed persons retiring this year, and does not at all affect individuals who intend to continue operating their businesses after this year. Social security payments are tied in to the individual's average monthly earnings over the years since 1950 when social security coverage was extended to the self-employed. Average earnings are figured by dividing the total earnings covered by social security by the number of months elapsing after 1950. Since, under the law, earnings from self-employment are reported and counted only once a year—after the individual has filed his income tax return—the 1953 earnings of a self-employed person filling this year cannot be counted in figuring his average earnings. If application is made before the end of September, the situation is eased somewhat by the fact that under the law a period of up to six months before the calendar quarter in which the application is filed may be ignored in the calculation of average earnings. This means that the individual's total net income from self-employment for the two calendar years, 1951 and 1952, will be divided by a corresponding 24 months. If application is filed after September, however, the same total net income in most cases must be divided by 27 months. Therefore, Lists suggests that self-employed persons who have retired this year or who plan to retire before January visit the Santa Ana social security office before the end of this month. Members of his staff will be glad, List said, to discuss with each the advantages of his filing during this month or waiting until later.
