Essay Contest on Crossing Accidents School and College Students to Compete for Cash Prizes Concerned over the increase that took place in 1926 compared with 1925 in the number of highway grade crossing accidents and believing that more care should be exercised by all those crossing railroad tracks, the American Railway Association has announced plans for a nation wide essay contest among school and college students with three cash prizes of $250 each to be awarded the authors of essays containing an outstanding, readily available suggestion for preventing such accidents. One prize of $250 will be awarded by the American Railway Association for the best essay by a grammar student, a similar prize for the best essay by a high school student and a like amount for the best essay by a college student. Under the rules prescribed by the American Railway Association, the subject of the essay is to be "Cross Crossing Cautiously," and each essay is to be limited to 250 words. The essays must be terse, logical and constructive and must stress the need for greater care in approaching and passing over railroad crossings. The essays are to be sent to J. C. Caviston, secretary of the safety section of the American Railway Association, at 30 Vesey street, New York City, not later than June 1. Three persons of national reputation, to be selected later, will act as judges. Under the plan, class teachers in both grammar and high schools will select the best essays from their class and transmit them to their principal, who will then select the best one from that school and send it to the superintendent of schools for the county or an equivalent officer. The county superintendent will then select the best essay written by a grammar student and the best one written by a high school student in his county and will transmit them to the American Railway Association. Colleges may follow the same procedure, except that each college or university, through its proper officer, may select one essay and transmit di- is a patient at the Fullerton Community hospital.

LEGION NOTES Every effort is being made by officials of the American Legion post to encourage veterans to make application at once for reinstatement or conversion of their government insurance. The last day on which insurance can be taken out by war veterans is July 2, 1927. Congress has ruled that it is absolutely the final date, and Legion officers throughout California are urging the veterans to take advantage of the low rates offered under government insurance. "The provisions for reinstatement are so lenient, the terms of the policies so liberal, and the premiums themselves so low," declares State Adjutant James K. Fisk of the Legion, "as to bring some one of the seven converted policies within reach of every veteran. We are concerned in seeing that every man or woman entitled to this insurance be advised of his or her rights in connection with it before it is too late. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the merits of life insurance, and the benefits which would come to all veterans and their dependents by their taking advantage of the liberal provisions made by the government in the matter of insurance. We urge all veterans, whether Legion members or not, to get in touch with their local post, where the required forms may be secured and assistance freely offered." Fisk states.

In 1926 there were 5921 highway grade crossing accidents, in which 2492 persons were killed and 6991 injured. In 1925 there were 5479 accidents, in which 2206 persons were killed and 6555 injured. Owing to the increase that is constantly taking place in the number of automobiles in use, the hazard from such accidents is annually becoming greater. Only through the co-operation of the public and the railroads can a reduction in such accidents be brought about, in view of the fact the complete elimination of highway grade crossings is impossible, not only because of the time that would be involved, but also because of the prohibitive cost which ultimately falls on the public. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) H. P. King of Los Angeles died suddenly from a heart attack, only being sick about one hour. Tuesday night, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. H. Owens, on Ninth street, Mrs. Owens has been an invalid for some time, and about two weeks ago went to the Anaheim Community hospital for an operation, and is still a patient there. Mr. and Mrs. King were staying at the Owens home during her absence. Mr. King's funeral was at Compton, Friday morning. His daughter, Mrs. Twady, and daughters of Pasadena, and Mrs. King's sister, Mrs. Rodgers of Compton, were here with Mrs. King several days before and after the funeral.

Exposition park. As the bugle heralds the first rays of the sun at 5:30 o'clock Emile Oberhoffer will raise his baton and officially open the fourth annual sunrise devotions. But while the stars are still in the heavens, and the vast stillness of the very early morning enshrouds them, thousands of early-comers who await in reverent silence the breaking of the holy day, will hear the program of sacred music to be broadcast to the Coliseum. Miles from the great stadium, Dr. Ray Hastings will offer specially arranged Easteride selections at the pipe organ, and Virginia Flohri, soprano, and Robert Hurd, tenor, will sing six of the world's most familiar anthems. Immediately preceding the call of the bugle, as the stars disappear and the sun makes its way over the peaks of the mountains, Hurd will sing "The Holy City" as a finale to the pre-dawn program which is being transmitted to the Coliseum through the co-operation of KFI and the Southern California Telephone Company, and amplified by the public address system at the Coliseum. The program, starting at 5:30 a.m., in the Coliseum follows: Philharmonic orchestra, preslude "Choral and Fugue" (Bach); invocation by Dr. Allen A. Hunter, pastor Mt.

Rapid Growth of Avocado Industry Two Packing Houses May Be Located in This County Avocado growers of the fifth district of the California Avocado Growers' Exchange, who met at La Habra Friday, re-elected George C. Foley to the board of directors of the exchange. Although no other business was transacted, discussion of marketing and growing problems developed helpful suggestions to the various growers. George C. Hodgkins, manager of the California Avocado Growers' Exchange, with headquarters in Los Angeles, was present and spoke briefly on the crop now being packed, which is the largest crop in the history of the industry, consisting of over 1,500,000 pounds. According to Hodgkin, 90 per cent of the crop now being packed is going to eastern markets, while an average of 75 per cent of the entire year's crop will find eastern markets. At present the avocado crop is at its peak, according to officials of the industry. One car a week is being shipped east. A force of 16 men is employed in the main packing plant in Los Angeles and a comparative number are engaged in caring for the crop in the Azusa and Chula Vista districts, where smaller packing plants are maintained. With increase in acreage and the widening demand for avocados, more packing plants will have to be built, according to Hodgkin. Two of these are proposed for Orange county, one in the north part of the county and one in the south part. C. V. Newman was elected to represent the fourth district on the board at a similar meeting of the fourth district growers held at the Marcy ranch, near Santa Ana, Thursday. Hodgkin also addressed the latter meeting. Miss Anna Fisk, kindergarten teacher, is making a trip that includes San Bernardino, Coachella valley and Arrowhead.

Miss Eleanor Warren of Santa Barbara Teachers' College is home for her vacation. Mrs. William Smith of Tenth street New Method of Preventing Fires To Substitute Fire Lines and Patrol for Brush Piling A forest protection experiment of wide interest to lumbermen and foresters generally, as well as significant of the co-operative effort by which the United States forest service and the industry are attempting to solve Pacific coast forest problems, was announced by District Forester S. B. Show. On an experimental area of 22,000 acres of national forest and private land which is being operated by the Fruit Growers' Supply Company, an elaborate system of fire lines and intensive fire patrol will be substituted for brush pilling and burning. Since the company is also going to assume responsibility for fire control and since the privately owned land will be handled in the same way as the government land, this is a departure not only in method of dealing with fire hazard in government pine sales, but also in recognizing joint interest. The Fruit Growers' Supply Company, composed of several thousand California citrus growers, conducts large lumber operations for its members and has mills at Hilt and Susanville. In 1919, to assure a perpetual timber supply, it supplemented its holdings in Lassen county by purchasing the timber on about 100,000 acres of national forest land under contract and management plan for a 70-year cutting and reforestation cycle. This bound the company to various fire prevention requirements under government direction, including piling and burning all slash on the government area at a cost of about 50 cents a thousand board feet. The company employed trained foresters on its own behalf and conducted fire control experiments on its interspersed private lands. After six years' observation, including the bad fire year of 1924, and after having received the benefit of similar experiments by progressive pine operators elsewhere through a survey by the research department of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association, it concluded that under the local conditions and for the long term involved, not only a ma- Scaly Bark and Gum Disease must be controlled if you care to make profits in citrus.

The company employed trained foresters on its own behalf and conducted fire control experiments on its interspersed private lands. After six years' observation, including the bad fire year of 1924, and after having received the benefit of similar experiments by progressive pine operators elsewhere through a survey by the research department of the Western Forestry and Conservation Association, it concluded that under the local conditions and for the long term involved, not only a material saving in cost, but also equal security of timber and young growth could be effected for both ownerships by a uniform plan of intensified protection, with slash left undisturbed in compartments surrounded by firebreaks cleared to facilitate stopping fire and with intensive fire patrol. The company accordingly asked the forest service to be allowed to submit such a plan in detail, offering to assume responsibility for its continued operation. To this the forest service readily consented without committing itself to the general application of this method on other sales, but as encouragement of sincere, well equipped experiment; and after modification the company plan was accepted for that portion of the joint holding to be logged in the next five years. It will be carried out with close co-operation between the Fruit Growers Supply Company's superintendent at Susanville, E. B. Birmingham, and Forest Supervisor W. B. Durbin of the Lassen national forest. A record of all costs will be carefully kept.
