Survivor of Death Valley Scotty’s Record Train Run Retires From Job (By FRANCES STERLING) “When Father Time says, ‘Step aside’—step aside,” philosopher R. P. Hinze, who is entering his first week in retirement from 35 years of active service with the railroad, following his official reelection at Fullerton Santa Fe depot, where for eight years he has been supervisor. Many dignitaries from Santa Fe, by whom he has been employed since the age of 16, were at the Fullerton station to extend their high regards to the venerable and colorful long-time train man. Div. Supt. R. M. Champion from San Bernardino had these words to say: “Your many years of exceptionally loyal service and efficient service are a real monument to you, and I personally wish you many years of enjoyment after your retirement.” Hinze was presented a leather brief case from the office staff, who also were responsible for the large cake toped with the Santa Fe company emblem in blue and white, reading: Bob Hinze, 1902-1943. Looking back over the years, Hinze recalls his experience as fireman aboard the famous record-breaking special train hired by Death Valley Scotty for $5,500 in 1905. It ran from Los Angeles to Chicago in 44 hours, 54 minutes, a record that never was surpassed by a steam locomotive. Hinze is the last working survivor of this venture. Hinze visited Walter Scott in his estimated $5,000,000 castle in Death Valley a year ago. He said, “I found that his main topic of conversation still was his notorious ride on the Santa Fe Railroad.

Los Angeles Street Anaheim MINERS REPORT ON FORCED LABOR IN CZECH COAL PITS BY DANIEL P. GILMORE WENNA (UP)—What is it like to work as a "free" miner, as opposed to a forced laborer, in the Czechoslovakia coal pit in Czechoslovakia? The answer, given in independent reports by miners who have stepped to this listening post on the ridge of the Iron Curtain, goes on to explain why production is drastically as the Comminists themselves admit: - Minerable house ... nauseating but ... dirty, inadequate housing for non-technicians and super- - miners ... perilous working conditions in gas choked tunnels" ... - With the June currency "reform" which robbed millions of people of their money. Many Reliable Accounts These accounts the miners gave considered reliable, since they were made separately by different pits and they worked at various hours with no need for Sunday each month. During the harvest the miners, after their day down in the pits, forced "volunteer" work in fields at slave wages. When they are not working, the miners are subjected to hours of training in Communist doctrine. When a miner does get a few hours of actual leisure, he falls into bed exhausted. Typical Situation This is the situation in an important coal field in the most advanced and most highly industrialized country.

Silver tape is applied to both side forks and the handlebar. Membership cards in the Optimist Bicycle Safety Club were issued with safe riding decals. These were distributed to those with binders in their home rooms. A complete descriptive booklet on how to properly care for a bicycle was given each student. Mark Stephenson, Anaheim chief police, cooperating fully within the Optimist safety program, made the following announcement: "The Optimists are to be praised for a job well done. If their efforts are to be effective it is necessary that everyone cooperate. There are laws governing bicycle riding in Anaheim. They were devised to save lives and prevent accidents. There's a lot of misunderstanding regarding these laws. We would like everyone to know them." Press Agent's Idea Backfires for Men PARIS, III.
