Fumigator Accused Of Damaging Trees Case Brought Before Board of Supervisors Tuesday The board of supervisors transformed itself into an impromptu court recently, when A. R. McBeth, Tustin fumigator, was accused of negligence in covering trees in the orchard of S. C. Wheeler, near Culver's corner, when he was operating there December 9. It was alleged that McBeth's crew, of which W. M. Marshall is foreman, had used tents which were too small and that in many cases they failed by six inches to reach the ground. A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, placed the matter before the supervisors, who are considering the advisability of revoking the licenses of McBeth and Marshall. It is claimed that 19 of 58 tents counted were six inches or more above the ground. Chester Curl, inspector, and W. H. Wright, of the horticultural commissioner's office, investigated the situation before the case was taken before the board. Testimony was introduced to show that the crew had not carried a shovel for placing dirt on the bottoms of the tents to hold them down. The matter was continued to January 3, when the supervisors will convene again. VALUES IN SILENCES Since every factor in our everyday lives is being given the efficiency test, no wonder that noise has had to pass on examination. It has been talked about for centuries, but like Mark Twain's weather, people have not done much about it. But recently something is being done. Specialists in universities have tried out noise in various degrees, on the adolescent mind. And cities have passed ordinances to reduce the interference of noise with either mind or matter. The doctor, the lawyer, the butcher, the baker, and various others of us talk about the "average man," and multitudes Will Trek To Rose Tournament Anaheim to Have Attractive Float in Great Parade Tournament of Roses officials announced that preparations had been virtually completed for handling the throngs of people who will swarm into Pasadena on the morning of January 2 to witness the thirty-ninth annual Tournament of Roses parade. The big mild-winter fete is expected to attract between 700,000 and $800,000 persons. Police in all cities of this section will join to form a comprehensive organization for controlling automobile traffic. All roads within twenty miles of Pasadena will be posted with signs and patrolled by traffic officers in order to avoid congestion. Within the city limits of Pasadena, the local police department will be augmented by 200 tackled traffic men from the Los Angeles city force, 40-county motorcycle officers and 1000 special officers. It is estimated that seven-eighths of the Tournament of Roses crowd will come to Pasadena from their Southern California homes in automobiles. Almost two hundred thousand motor cars will descend upon Pasadena between dawn and 10 o'clock on the morning of the tournament. To complicate the task of the traffic officers, a considerable share of these cars will start spreading their way through congested streets toward the Rose Bowl immediately following the parade. Special trains to Pasadena on January 2 have been announced by all interurban, steam and bus lines. The Pacific Electric will run three-car trains from Los Angeles at two-minute intervals during the morning. One stream line, the Santa Fe, will operate a Tournament of Roses special from Chicago, leaving that city December 28 and arriving here December 31. The train will be lavishly decorated with California roses. The Tournament of Roses program comprises the morning parade and an inter-sectional football game at the piergrims.

Government in P More Than Highway Since every factor in our everyday lives is being given the efficiency test, no wonder that noise has had to pass on examination. It has been talked about for centuries, but like Mark Twain's weather, people have not done much about it. But recently something is being done. Specialists in universities have tried out noise in various degrees, on the adolescent mind. And cities have passed ordinances to reduce the interference of noise with either mind or matter. The doctor, the lawyer, the butcher, the baker, and various others of us talk about the "average man," and then fail to find him or not. And among the average men is the man who can meet with an average amount of noise without reduction of his economic or social efficiency. Certainly the most of us regard noise as in the same category with salt in potatoes. Enough is too much. That is, if we notice noise it is more than enough. But we suspect that if there were no noise at all we should suffer from some sort of mal-aloneness. To live in a world absolutely without noise would be appalling. It is the noise that we are conscious of that makes us impatient. We can, some of us, be different to a steam riveter, while others of us are irritated by the finest ringing, at inopportune moments. But for choice, the public should work toward the ideal of having as few sounds of any sort as possible. We need not, like the Tappist monks, pass our days in absolute silence. But a minimum of sound makes each utterance, each sonorous event, the more meaningful. We gain emphasis as we tend toward silences. A STATE BIRD To the suggestion of the Cooper Ornithological Club that a state bird be selected to take its place with the poppy as a California emblem, one is made by Enid Michael, Yosemite naturalist, that the choice be left to the children. Both are good suggestions. Even the experts do not know birds as children know them, for the child sees all nature through young and friendly eyes and enjoys companionship with living things, which few elders are able to realize. In asking that the children select the California bird, Enid Michael recognizes this fact and speaks too for the continued study of bird life in the schools. The elder who has been fortunate enough to accompany a group of school children on a nature study trip has been surprised and enlightened. He appreciates that behind the lively interest in birds and flowers, not merely in names but in the habits, calls, seasons and favored haunts, is an educational influence which differs from the old methods of cramming home facts through a routine process of memorization. The school children are capable of selecting the state bird because, by and large, they know more about them than do their parents. Moreover then, theirs is a closer kinship with the birds.

The train will be lavishly decorated with California roses. The Tournament of Roses program comprises the morning parade and an inter-sectional football game at the Rose Bowl in the afternoon. The parade will start promptly at 10:30 a.m., proceeding east on Colorado street from South Orange Grove avenue to Hill, north on Hill to East Orange Grove, and thence west to Lake Avenue. The parade route is five miles long, and the pageant may be viewed from any point along the route. This year's parade will comprise approximately three hundred units, including ninety huge floral floats fashioned from millions of fresh flowers; thirty bands, flower-decked automobiles, floral novelties and mounted horsemen and horsewomen. The ninety floats will be sponsored by municipal governments, chambers of commerce, internal bodies and other organizations in about forty California cities. Conforming to the theme of this year's pageant, "States and Nations in Flowers," each of the floats will represent a nation or a state. Following the parade, prize-winning floats will be placed on exhibition in front of Pasadena's new city hall. The football game at the Rose Bowl in the afternoon will bring together two of the strongest teams in the country, Pittsburgh and Stanford, before a crowd of approximately 75,000. A skilled trade and a profession? A—A skilled trade is one in which technical training and ability is required. It may be manual labor, such as a machinist. A profession is an occupation that properly involves a liberal education or its equivalent and mental rather than manual labor. children on a nature study trip has been surprised and enlightened.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q. Does the recipient of blood by transfusion get any of the characteristics of the person whose blood he absorbs? A. No. Q. Why is the United States public health service under the treasury department? A. The reason goes back to 1798. Sailors who manned American merchantmen sometimes contracted strange diseases in foreign ports which might have spread over this country unless they were cared for systematically. A marine hospital service with hospitals at important ports was established by the government, and to help finance the project each seaman was taxed 20 cents a month, which was collected by the treasury. As a matter of convenience the hospital service, which later became the public health service, was put under the treasury department. Q. Does the United States government distribute moving picture films? A. Some of the government departments make and distribute motion picture films. Among these are the children's bureau, labor department; woman's bureau, labor department; department of agriculture, and the United States bureau of mines. White direct to these departments at Washington, D.C., for a list of their films and how they may be obtained. Q. In what year did Nellie Grant, the daughter of President Grant, marry Captain Sartoris in the White House at Washington? A. In 1874. Q. What is the difference between Government Aids in Road Building More Than $81,000,000 Spent on Highways in Past Year More than $200 relief of improved roads in the federal aid system were completed in the fiscal year ending January 30, bringing the total length of roads improved with federal aid in the United States up to 64,290 miles, according to government reports. Just received. For most part independently, the government completed construction of 452 miles of main highways in the national forests. Construction work also was done at the request of the national park service. Federal payments during the year amounted to more than $81,000,000. This is the government's share of more than a billion dollars spent on highways the country over. While the figures are large, it appears that much remains to be done on the federal aid highway system, as it now includes more than 185,000 miles of road. Only one-third of this has been improved, but nearly all of the work done has been accomplished in the past six years. It is pointed out in the report of the chief of bureau of public roads that since the federal government began giving states in the country of support. OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA B. A. G.
