ADMONITIONS TO AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS RULES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AUTO CLUB TO BE ADOPTED BY ORANGE COUNTY "Safety Week" in This County Now is on, and Slogans Are Being Put in Practice—All Auto Drivers Are Urged to Observe These Rules, Thereby Cutting Down the Chance of Accidents. America's greatest safety movement, inaugurated in southern California by the Automobile Club of Southern California is to bear immediate fruit in Orange county. This county, taking the lead in the idea as put forth by the automobile club, will stage its big "Safety Week," which began, Sunday November 20. Safety slogans which have been issued from time to time here by the club officials are going to be put into practice. Every autolist is to be called upon to observe "to the limit" the rules governing the safe operation of automobiles on the streets and roads. School children and teachers throughout the county are already cooperating in the movement to the extent of preparing essays on safety subjects and in the marshalling of classes in safety drills. Civil officials in every city and town in Orange county have entered into the scheme to make this the safest county in the southern part of the state. Police and officials of the sheriff's office are involved. HEAVY INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION'S BUSINESS Mutual Orange Distributors Hold Yearly Meeting at Redlands The annual report of C. P. Earley, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, given before the yearly meeting of the stockholders, held in Redlands, Saturday, November 12th, indicated that the organization has increased its business 47.65 per cent over a period of twelve months. The M. O. D. handled 1.3 per cent more of the total crop of the state during the past twelve months than in the preceding year. The total increase in the crop of the state has been 34.91 per cent. In proportion, the M. O. D. has increased 13.16 per cent more rapidly than has the total state output. Six new associations have recently affiliated with the organization. The following directors were elected: S. D. Winters, Anaheim; O. D. Brouse, Covina; A. B. Cowgill, Redlands; W. A. Greenleaf, Olive; George T. Musson, Redlands; D. S. Unruh, Covina; Louis Blybach, Fullerton; J. H. Strait, Redlands; J. T. Canaday, Rialto; Murray Horne, Yorba Linda; Geo. L. Belcher, Pomona; F. W. Moore, Redlands; R. A. Wheatley, Whittier; W. L. Crowe, Porterville, and R. O. MacDonald, Lindsay. The executive committee consists of: J. H. Strait, F. W. Moore, Murray Horne, Geo. L. Belcher, and J. T. Canaday. J. H. Strait, Redlands, was re-elected president, and George L. Belcher, Pomona, selected to serve as vice-president for the ensuing year. A. B. Cowgill will continue to act as secretary and treasurer. To handle the increased tonnage and as a basis for furthering development, the M. O. D. has employed Fred Ruggles, formerly organizer of co-operative organizations for the government, as one of its field force. E. A.

Around the inland waters point, they will boldly be open ocean on their life cycle will return to spawn in their birthplace, in four years. The size of the catch cannot be predicted long dry fall is not common large catch, although it may one. In connection with rural operations of the course of the most interesting thieves happened in years, is the twenty marked salmon ber caught at Klamathona all grilse and were not any numbers for another proves the parent stream demonstrates the percent returning when properly ponds. It is expected females will show up. The building of dams by companies so high that some ascend rivers as former spawning grounds, is a mon culture and supply that is receiving the attention commission and makes a striped bass which may net at this time is neither nor daughter. This fish brought across the contiguous fish and game commissions when 160 were taken from sink river, New Jersey, to be released in Carquine Martinez. In 1882 there were from Shreewbury river or parallel river entering New York bay, 300 more inches long. They were Army Point, three miles former point of release. The results since then... School children and teachers throughout the county are already cooperating in the movement to the extent of preparing essays on safety subjects and in the marshalling of classes in safety drills. Civil officials in every city and town in Orange county have entered into the scheme to make this the asbestos county in the southern part of the state. Police and officials of the sheriff's offices are also going to take part in the big safety week plans. Los Angeles is going to stage its safety week beginning Dec. 4th, and it is likely that other counties and cities in southern California will follow the example to be set by Orange county in this respect. Every civic club and organization of any importance throughout this section is planning to do its part to spread the propaganda of safety first during the big "No-Acident Week." Auto dealers throughout the county are planning window displays illustrating the new safety slogans, and department stores are planning to incorporate safety ideas in their advertising. It is planned to make the safety drive in Orange county of nation-wide importance, and the motion picture houses are going to co-operate by the use of slides and announcements. Every driver of a vehicle approaching the intersection of a street or public road shall grant the right of way at the place where the paths of vehicles intersect in such intersection to any vehicle approaching from the right. This is the meaning of the right of way rule found in the California vehicle act and the language is so plain you ought not to misunderstand it. What does it mean to you? It should mean— 1—You must slow down when approaching intersecting streets. 2—You must permit any vehicle approaching from the right to pass over the intersection point. 3—Disobedience of this law is cause for arrest and fine or imprisonment. Nine-tenth of all accidents to pedestrians on our streets would never happen if every person would observe this one perfectly simple rule: "When you start across the street, look to the left—and when you reach the middle of the street, look to the right." Why? Because when you start, all traffic is coming from your left—and J. H. Strait, Redlands, was re-elected president, and George L. Belcher. Pomona, selected to serve as vice-president for the ensuing year. A. B. Cowgill will continue to act as secretary and treasurer. To handle the increased tonnage and as a basis for furthering development, the M. O. D. has employed Fred Ruggles, formerly organizer of co-operative organizations for the government, as one of its field force. E. A. Walken, who for twenty years has been engaged in inspection work in the state of California, was employed to inspect all shipments of citrus fruits made by the M. O. D. bearing the Sunflower and Poppy brands.* This followed the decision of the organization to maintain an exceptionally high standard under these two labels. The report of the manager of the Mutual Orange Distributor supply department indicated that $1,000,000 worth of supplies had been purchased during the past twelve months for growers affiliated with the association. RUNNING STOLEN CARS INTO CANADA Auto thieves have taken 17,000 stolen cars into western Canada, it is reported, and hundreds of auto owners in the southern part of the state are seeking information from the Auto Club of Southern California to see if their cars are among the number. Motor cars are being stolen in southern California in wholesale numbers at this time according to the auto club report issued by its theft bureau. Auto theft gangs have never been so active or so well organized. Club officials are uncertain as to whether any part of the 17,000 stolen cars reported as repositing in the west part of Canada belong to southern California owners or not, but an investigation is to be started at once. It is announced by the club that an effective barrier has been erected by the theft bureau of the organization along Mexican border. However, large the number of stolen cars may be which are traced to Canada, at least that number will never be traced to Mexico, claims the auto club. Arrangements have been perfected whereby stolen autos being raced into Mexico by the thieves can now be stopped at any point along Mexican line in the western part of the United States.

Nine-tenths of all accidents to pedestrians on our streets would never happen if every person would observe this one perfectly simple rule: "When you start across the street, look to the left—and when you reach the middle of the street, look to the right." Why? Because when you start, all traffic is coming from your left—and after you pass the center, it is coming from your right. Why do people violate this rule? Because they take a chance. Because their minds are on something else. Because they are too young and not responsible. Because they don't care. Because they don't know. Do as you would expect every other autoist to do if he were in your place and you were the "other fellow" whether an autoist or pedestrian. Emergencies will arise, but if you will always have your auto under control and be just as thoughtful of the rights of others as you are of your own, you are not likely to be involved in an accident. Be on the lookout for the signals of traffic officers and obey them promptly. Give warning signals when they are necessary and heed the warning signals of other autoists. Give assistance to other autoists when trouble develops on the road. You may call for assistance another time. Take your time. Speeding leads to accidents and these often cause injury and death. Teach others safety by practicing it yourself. A STORY OF SALMON EGGS Thursday last marked the opening of the season for taking salmon, striped bass, shad and crabs commercially, which means by net for sale as food. The salmon is a popular food fish and the fish and game commission have given a great deal of attention to its culture. Millions of eggs are hatchery year at the great hatchery at Sisson; at the Fall creek hatchery near Klamath river, Siskiyou county; and at Fort Seward, Eel river, Humboldt county. In the last six weeks, 15,000,000 chinook eggs were taken from the Klamath river. The salmon giddies are old enough to be liberated in from four effective barrier has been erected by the theft bureau of the organization along the Mexican border. However, large the number of stolen cars may be which are traced to Canada, at least that number will never be traced to Mexico, claims the auto club. Arrangements have been perfected whereby stolen autos being raced into Mexico by the thieves can now be stopped at any point along the Mexican line in the western part of the United States. The wily thief who eludes the theft bureau detectives now-a-days will be a wonder. Approximately 3000 motor cars have been stolen in southern California so far this year, representing a total valuation of more than $2,700,000, according to the club report. Of these, more than half the number have been recovered and returned to their owners, but 1330 are still reported as lost, representing a total sum of approximately $1,200,000 to the owners. Are these machines in Canada? That is what the club theft bureau hopes to find out. An advantage in prize may usually be gained by hogs during these months; it is not always practical farmer to change his prods to take advantage of there are many farmers who are easily accessible centers who could well range to have their hogs condition during the mprices are usually most f A more uniform distribution of hogs at south throughout the year widely benefit many farmers same time greatly assist opment of the packing in south. HARDING CONSECRATION TO THE In his Thanksgiving President Harding once said what is the keynote of his tion and the central though litalic career—service. prospered as we shall perity," he declares, alone for the material those of the spirit as we trying to help others; all else, the privilege of again, "opportunity for vice awaits us if we sha to it." Warren G. Harding eslitical campaign a year thought ever before him to him what the blazing heavens was to Constance signo vinces." In his speech he said: "With a faith and in a hopeful hymn of service in my b to six months after spawning. Recently 5,000,000 youngsters, about four inches long, were given their liberty at the Sisson hatchery located at the headwaters of the Sacramento river, and in about three weeks will reach salt water at Antioch. After playing around the inland waters around that point, they will boldly head for the open ocean on their life voyage. They will return to spawn in the waters of their birthplace, in four years. The size of the catch of salmon this season cannot be predicted, but the long dry fall is not conducive to a large catch, although it may be a good one. In connection with the fishcultural operations of the commission, one of the most interesting things that has happened in years, is the taking of twenty marked salmon from the number caught at Klamathon. These were all grilse and were not expected in any numbers for another year, and it proves the parent stream theory and demonstrates the percentage of fish returning when properly raised in the ponds. It is expected that marked females will show up next season. The building of dams by water power companies so high that salmon will not ascend rivers as formerly to their spawning grounds, is a menace to salmon culture and supply a problem that is receiving the attention of the commission and makes another story. Striped bass which may be taken by net at this time is neither a native nor daughter. This fish was first brought across the continent by the fish and game commission in 1879, when 160 were taken from the Navajo sink river, New Jersey, and 135 lived to be released in Carquines strait, at Martinez. In 1882 there was brought from the Shrewsbury river, a branch or parallel river entering from lower New York bay, 300 more bass, 5 to 9 inches long. They were released at Army Point, three miles from the former point of release. The results since then have been re- fidelity to our country and to God." In his Labor Day Speech of 1920 he declared: "Work is the supreme engagement, the sublime luxury of life. I wish I could plant the gospel of loyalty to work and interest in accomplishment." And "by work" he meant service. In a front porch speech of September 23, 1920, he said: "Service, a willingness to serve intelligently, to train for human service, to cleave to an idealism of deeds and honest toll and scientific accomplishment, rather than to serve by mere words." In his address on "Social Justice," some time after, he said: "I believe and have repeatedly said that citizenship is based upon obligation—that obligation to serve one's fellowmen. In his Cleveland speech of October 28 he said: "I want to bring about the greatest service that America can give to the world—the service of an example of a great representative democracy undivided—that is my ambition. That is my opportunity for service to America as I conceive it." In his farewell address to the senate, following his election, he said: "One cannot promise agreement in all things with an opposite party which is sometimes insistently wrong, but we may find common ground in the spirit of service.* * * There is so much to be done, and we have already had so much delay, that I should like unanimous recognition that there are no party ends to serve, but precious days are calling for service to our common country." Repeatedly in his inaugural address he stresses the importance of service: "I can vision the ideal republic * * where we may call to universal service every plant, agency, or facility, all in the sublime sacrifice for country * * Out of such universal service will come a new unity of spirit and purpose, a new confidence and consecration which would make our defense impermissible." MORE UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION DESIRABLE IN MARKETNG HOGS A large majority of southern hogs are marketed during the winter months. During that period prices are generally lowest, largely because of the heavy receipts at all markets. A study of receipts and prices at the leading livestock markets shows that the average price for live hogs reaches its highest levels during March, April, August and September, and that the receipts during these months are usually lightest, says the bureau of markets and crop estimates, United States department of agriculture. An advantage in price, therefore, may usually be gained by marketing hogs during these months. Although it is not always practicable for the farmer to change his production methods to take advantage of this fact, there are many farmers in the south, who are easily accessible to packing centers who could well afford to arrange to have their hogs in marketable condition during the months when brought across the continent by the fish and game commission in 1879, when 160 were taken from the Navasink river, New Jersey, and 135 lived to be released in Carquines strait, at Martinez. In 1882 there was brought from the Shrewsbury river, a branch or parallel river entering from lower New York bay, 300 more bass, 5 to 9 inches long. They were released at Army Point, three miles from the former point of release. The results since then have been remarkable. In 1893, 79,730 pounds of striped bass were taken in California waters. In 1918, 1,407,841 pounds was the total, and that figure does not include fish taken by rod and line. Through the regulations enforced by the fish and game commission, striped bass have not been depleted, although they may be taken by anglers throughout the year—the catch per day limited to five during the closed season. The area for striped bass fishing has also been greatly extended at points along the ocean, especially at Baker's Beach, where large numbers of anglers enjoy the sport, and in Monterey bay. Lovers of crab meat may now enjoy it fresh from nearby waters, the crabs on sale since July last having been shipped from the north. Shad will appear in the markets soon in limited quantity, the large supply coming in the early spring. WITNESS TESTS MADE ON ROAD FOUNDATIONS That a type of paving consisting of reinforced concrete of medium depth, possesses wear qualities superior to the concrete slab on a foundation of loose rock, which had been extensively advocated for highway work in this state, was the observation of Supervisor Howard Wassum, of Tustin, who, with County Engineer J. L. McBride, has returned from attending a test of paving types, at Pittsburg, Calif. On a circular track, composed of thirteen types of paving, trucks were operated to test wearing qualities. Wassum and McBride saw the first part of the experiment, which will require about a month more to complete. The concrete slab on a loose rock foundation, they said, was among the first types to show the effect of wear, Wassum stated. Recording instruments and devices were unsettled under and in the various types of paving comprising the circular track, to show the force of impact from the vehicles at various depths. Some beauty may be only skin-deep, but some of it that the girl daubs on is thicker than that. ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS COLLEGE Enrollments now active for our tail term.

An advantage in price, therefore, may usually be gained by marketing hogs during these months. Although it is not always practicable for the farmer to change his production methods to take advantage of this fact, there are many farmers in the south, who are easily accessible to packing centers who could well afford to arrange to have their hogs in marketable condition during the months when prices are usually most favorable. A more uniform distribution of supplies of hogs at southern markets throughout the year would undoubtedly benefit many farmers and at the same time greatly assist in the development of the packing industry in the south. HARDING CONSECRATED TO THE SERVICE In his Thanksgiving proclamation, President Harding once more stresses what is the keynote of his administration and the central thought of his political career—service. "We shall be prospered as we shall deserve prosperity," he declares, "seeking not alone for the material things, but for those of the spirit as well; earnestly trying to help others; asking, before all else, the privilege of service." And again, "opportunity for very great service awaits us if we shall prove equal to it." Warren G. Harding entered the political campaign a year ago with that thought ever before him. Service is to him what the blazing cross in the heavens was to Constantine: "In hoo signo vinces." In his acceptance speech he said: "With all unalterable faith and in a hopeful spirit, with a hymn of service in my heart, I pledge..."
