License Renewals Began This Morning Two Million New Plates Will Be Issued During Year The annual automobile license renewal season opened this morning at all branch offices of the Division of Motor Vehicles and at the branches of the various automobile clubs of the state. Approximately 1,500,000 pairs of plates will be issued during the renewal period, and the division has made plans to issue at least 2,000,000 during the coming year. The division's main office is located at Sacramento, where all mail applications are sent. There are branches at Los Angeles, Fresno, Oakland, San Francisco, and San Diego. Counters will be thrown open at the main office and all branches tomorrow. Applicants who seek to renew licenses over the counters are required to bring their 1927 certificate of registration and their fee. A pair of new plates, which may be exhibited at any time after they are issued, will be given out with a temporary certificate of registration. The permanent certificate will be mailed to the applicant later. New passenger car plates will have a blue background with gold letters and numerals. The legal period for renewal will expire at midnight January 31. Motorsists who neglect to renew their licenses will not only be subject to arrest, but will be compelled to pay double as a penalty. The division has opened its counters fifteen days earlier, in order to give every motorist a chance to get plates without paying a penalty. Chief Clerk Lon W. Butler urges motorists to remember that it will not be necessary for them to take the time to make special trips to division offices and stand in line for plates. The easier and simpler method, he said, is to enclose the fee and old certificate of registration in an envelope and mail them to Sacramento. Care should be used, however, to note all changes of address in legible letters on Buena Park Notes (By Mrs. J. P. ROBISON) Mrs. Jemima Ellen Calloway, aged 84, died Wednesday for noon, at the home of her nephew, Ben Calloway, in the Calloway addition. Mrs. Calloway, or Auntie Calloway, as she was lovingly called, had lived in Buena Park for 22 years and had a host of friends. She was a member of the Woman's Club and of the Jolly Neighbors, and always enjoyed their social activities. She is survived by the nephew, Ben Calloway, whom she raised from a baby; a grand niece, Mrs. Stewart Andrews, of Buena Park, and three other nephews, G. E. Addis of Los Angeles, Robert Addis and Ed Ketchum of Oakland. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at Baks, Terry & Campbell parlors of Anaheim, and interment was made at Santa Paula, beside her husband, W. T. Calloway, who died here two years ago, at the age of 97. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Calloway and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Andrews accompanied the remains to Santa Paula. The Jolly Stitchers held a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. E. Ketler, Wednesday afternoon. It was decided to change the name to the "Merry Sewing Circle," as the old name was so often confused with the Jolly Neighbors. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Duel. The Ladies' Aid and Missionary Society met Friday at the Community hall, the regular meeting being postponed on account of Mrs. Calloway's funeral, Thursday. Officers for 1928 were elected as follows: Ladies' Aid—President, Mrs. Fred Bastady; vice-president, Mrs. Grace Gillman; Mrs. J. F. Wagg; Haggerty; Missident; Mrs. J. E. Wigg; Mrs. R. D.

The easier and simpler method, he said, is to enclose the fee and old certificate of registration in an envelope and mail them to Sacramento. Care should be used, however, to note all changes of address in legible letters on the face of certificate. Butler announced that the plate distribution as to number will be as follows: The highest numbers—those ranging from 1,900,001 to 2,080,000 will be distributed in San Francisco. Numbers from 450,000 to 900,000 and from 980,001 to 1,000,000 will be distributed in Sacramento and northern California. Numbers from 1,000,001 to 1,700,000 will be distributed from the Los Angeles office. Numbers from 1,701,000 to 1,765,000 will go to San Diego. Oakland will receive numbers from 1,775,001 to 1,900,000. The fee for ordinary passenger cars is $3. Commercial vehicles will take the same weight fees as last year, except that the so-called cushion tires have been eliminated and all vehicles except those with air-inflated tires will take the same fee as solid-tired vehicles. A force of approximately 1000 clerks and typists will be used by the state during renewal period. Forest Fire Prevention Everybody's Problem "Protection of the national forests from fire is everybody's problem," says Col. William B. Greeley, chief forester, United States department of agriculture, in his annual report. As a result of a special study of the present organization of the service for fire prevention and control, the chief forester has set down his conclusions as to the most urgent needs in his report. The protection of the national forests from fire would be well nigh an impossible task if the forest service had to carry the burden unaided, he declares. "It makes a great practical difference," he says, "whether the viewpoint is that the forest service is protecting government property with government funds or that the forest service and the local public are working jointly to protect the forested land on which local prosperity depends." One of the most urgent needs, according to Colonel Greeley, is vigorous development of educational and cooperative measures designed to prevent main-caused fires. This must be backed by the building up and applying of specialized knowledge through research of the causes of fire and the most effective methods of control. The woods need "fire-proofing." viewpoint is that the forest service is protecting government property with government funds or that the forest service and the local public are working jointly to protect the forested land on which local prosperity depends."

The forester also points out that it is essential that increased provisions be made for employing fire guards, procuring fire equipment, constructing telephone lines, lookouts and other improvements, and rtaining fire personnel. Oil Man Killed On Kraemer Lease One man lost his life and two others narrowly escaped fatal injuries when an excavation caved in on the Kraemer oil lease, near Atwood, early Monday morning. Leo J. Horan, 20, living on the Brea-Olinda boulevard, near Brea, received injuries which caused his death in the Fullerton General hospital an hour after the cave-in. Two fellow workers, Ira Reed, 19, of 307 South Pomona street; and Jack Cladon, 19, of 311 South Pomona street, Brea, escaped with slight injuries. Horan, who lived with his mother, Mrs. M. J. Horan, was crushed by the dirt, death being caused by a crushed head and chest. The body was taken to the Higenfeld & Rollins parlors, where an inquest was held by Coroner Charles D. Brown. According to reports, Reed and Cladon would have suffered Horan's fate if they had been standing a few feet closer to him. The three men were employed by the Warren & McCrote Company.
