New Road Plans Of Great Importance Provides for Additions to State Highway System The passage by the state legislature of the concurrent resolution establishing a new policy for the inclusion of roads in the state highway system is declared by B. B. Meek, director o the Department of Public Works, "as important a contribution to the highway system of California as was the substitution of the pay-as-you-go plan for the costly system of payment for highways through bond issues." In a statement Mr. Meek commented on the joint resolution as follows: "The resolution represents an agreement between the varying opinions of the North and South relative to the additions of new roads to the state highway system. "Opinion in the North has been consistently against any considerable addition to the state highway system until further progress is made in completing the roads to which the state is now obligated. The North has felt that the distribution of the same amount of money now allotted to secondary roads in the north over a larger mileage than is now in the North's secondary system would only serve to delay needed construction and improvements of present state highways. "The resolution protects these northern roads in their money allotments. At the same time sufficient leeway is left to permit the inclusion in the northern system of such roads as may obviously be now performing the service of state highways and entitled to a place in the state system. "The mileage in secondary highways in the southern group of counties is 625 as compared with the secondary mileage of 1778 in the North. In the South the situation has also developed that a number of county roads are now carrying a large volume of traffic of a state wide character and a relatively small volume of local traffic. The extent of this traffic is such that it makes it difficult and in some cases impossible to maintain an adequate surface on these roads." Many Students Are Superstitious Knocking on Wood Appears to Be the Favorite in Junior Colleges Fending off ill fortune by knocking on wood was selected as the pet superstition of the majority of students in one of the largest junior colleges in California, according to an article appearing in the March-April issue of "Sociology and Social Research," published by the University of Southern California. Entitled "Superstitions Among College Students," and authored by Roland M. Miller of Sacramento Junior College, the article is based on a questionnaire submitted to 395 junior college students. The questionnaire contained twenty well-known superstitions referred to as omens or signs, and students were asked to indicate the degree of their belief therein, marking each o them with O, I, 2, or 3, according to whether they had no effect, little effect, moderate effect, or intense effect on them. Students were asked not to sign their names. Superstitions selected for the questionnaire were as follows: Carrying a rabbit's foot; sitting thirteen at a table; a black cut; a falling star; putting the left shoe on first knocking on wood; lighting three cigarettes with one match; breaking a men agree die押 fine and were warranted ten days to raise the money. They appeared to feel somewhat hurt but realize now that fish and game are made to be enforced. The meat seized was greatly enjoyed by the patients at the Mendocino county hospital. Near Eureka, at a place called Rainbow Ridge, Deputies William Kalher of Loleta, and R. J. Yates of Eureka, two of the new crew of men located in Humboldt county, arrested C. C. Estes with two hams of deer meat. The hams weighed 25 pounds and Estes was finned $100 when he entered a plea of guilty before Judge Niskey. The mileage in secondary highways in the southern group of counties is 625 as compared with the secondary mileage of 1778 in the North. In the South the situation has also developed that a number of county roads are now carrying a large volume of traffic of a state wide character and a relatively small volume of local traffic. The extent of this traffic is such that it makes it difficult and in some cases impossible to maintain an adequate surface upon this road. This situation has resulted in placing upon the counties in which these roads are located a heavy and at the same time an unfair maintenance burden. "The resolution permits the inclusion of such roads as investigation may show are now carrying a preponderate state traffic, and in a ratio that will tend toward establishing a balance between the secondary highway mileage, North and South. "It will be noted that the resolution is confined to secondary highways. Primary highways are not affected by it. Under the Breed Bill the secondary highway funds are divided on a 50-50 basis between the North and South. The resolution affirms this distribution. "The resolution also protects the highway system against an undue inflation of mileage by limiting the inclusion of new roads in the next two years from 10 to 12 per cent of the present mileage in the state highway system. "As far as the present administration is concerned, we feel that this resolution is most important in that it marks the definite establishment of the principle that additions to the state highway system shall follow, and not precede, an expert study by the state road building authorities of roads proposed for inclusion in that system. It means the end of the designation of state highways without necessary engineering knowledge. It marks a contribution to the highway system of California as important as was the substitution of the pay-as-you-go plan for the costly system of payment through bond issues. I feel that the legislature has performed a very signal service for the state in the adoption of this resolution." Rush for Tickets For Shrine Events More than one-half of the entire seating capacity of the vast Los Angeles Coliseum has been reserved for the series of Shrine convention events to be held there on June 4, 5, and 6. Sale of season tickets for the seven great Shrine Coliseum events is proceeding at the rate of 1,000 a day and convention officials expect a complete sell-out of the 70,400 Coliseum seats. Every season ticket reserves a seat for the colorful $1,000,000 motion picture electrical pageant four performances of the spectacular Circus Maximus, and two huge dress parades, is granted ten days to raise the money they appeared to feel somewhat hurt but realize now that fish and game laws are made to be enforced. The meat selzed was greatly enjoyed by the patints at the Mendocino county hospital. Near Eureka, at a place called Rainbow Ridge, Deputies William Kallher of Loleta, and R. J. Yates of Eureka, two of the new crew of men located in Humboldt county, arrested C. C. Estes with two hams of deer meat. The hams weighed 25 pounds and Estes was fine! $100 when he entered a plea of guilty before Judge Niskov at Eureka. Estes only had $75 and the judge gave him thirty days time to pay the balance. This meat was also donated to the county hospital and the patients enjoyed the feast. Fish and game officials here were well pleased with th two arrests, and the deputies were heartily commended for their diligence. "These arrests and the fines imposed show that our men are serious in their efforts to enforce the law, and that the judges are cooperating with them in the work. This spirit will make the consistent violator of the fish and game laws realize that we are going to protect fish and game in every county of the state." Eugene D. Bennett executive officer and attorney for the division, declared when informed of the two arrests and fines. More than one-half of the entire seating capacity of the vast Los Angeles Coliseum has been reserved for the series of Shrine convention events to be held there on June 4, 5, and 6. Sale of season tickets for the seven great Shrine Coliseum events is proceeding at the rate of 1,000 a day and convention officials expect a complete sell-out of the 76,400 Coliseum seats. Every season ticket reserves a seat for the colorful $1,000,000 motion picture electrical pageant four performances of the spectacular Circus Maximus, and two huge dress parades, is expected to be disposed of several weeks before the big event takes place. This was announced today by LeRoy M. Edwards, director general of the Sixth annual Shrine conclave, who declared that the volume of season ticket sales has broken all precedent in the annals of Shrinedom. The seven distinct features which the Shrine will stage in the Coliseum during the convention will set a new record for attendance. Edwards stated. Applications for season tickets are being received in person and by mail at 1202 Broadway Arcade building, and at Al Malalkah Shrine temple, 663 W. Jefferson street, Los Angeles. Patients Eat Deer Out of Season Patients in two county hospitals had the exceptional privilege of eating forbidden delicacies within the last few days, as a result of the vigilance of deputies of the Division of Fish and Game. At Low Gap, west of Uklah in Mendocino county, Deputy Earl Macklin found a buck and a fawn in the possession of Harold Cook, George Hinckley and John Kinney, all of Fort Bragg. The trio were informed that it was somewhat unethical as well as contrary to the laws of California to have deer meet in possession during the closed season, and were also advised to appear before Judge Golden at Fort Bragg. The judge fined each one of the too enthusiastic hunters $75.

The total cut of national forest timber amounted to 231 million feet. Of the total receipts from timber sales approximately $130,000 was applied in the exchange of private lands within the national forests. Timber sold at cost of administration to farmers and settlers for use on their lands totalled $1,114. The largest amount of timber, 87 million feet, was cut on the Sierra National Forest headquarters North Fork Madera Co., but the largest revenue, $254,000, was derived from the Stanislaus National Forest with headquarters at Sonora. The principal timber operator on this forest is the Pickering Lumber company, with large milling plants at Standard City and Tuolumne. The Lassen National Forest, with headquarters at Susanville, ranks second in point of value of cut, with a timber revenue of $248,600. The principal timber purchaser on the Lassen Forest are the Fruit Growers Supply company and the Lassen Lumber and Box company. The amount of timber covered in contracts of sale consummated by the Forest Service in California during the past year was approximately 670 million feet, of which over 690 million feet is located on the Modoc National Forest in northeastern California. The activity in this region is due to recent railroad development by the Southern Pacific Railroad company. Twenty-five per cent of all receipts from the sale of timber in the national forests is returned to the state for distribution to counties in which the forests are located, for use in the construction and development of roads and trails. This return by the federal government is in lieu of taxes on national forest lands. ANAHEIM MONDAY April 1 COMMUNITY CIRCUS GROUNDS THE SHOW THAT'S DIFFERENT AL G.
