But the young couple surprised their friends by going to nearby mountain resorts, and returning Wednesday. They are making their home in Anaheim.

It happened this way: Fearn on the evening of December 18 and morning of December 19 logged 115 short wave stations, 94 of which were verified, in the Southern California contest with the Atwater-Kent combination short-long wave sets. A dozen of the verified stations were police calls in the United States; 45 were local amateur stations; while stations were logged and verified from Russia, South Africa, Dutch East Indies, Mexico and Canada. Fearn's total of verified stations was 34 more than any other contestant's. No notice of winning was received by Fearn by Christmas eve, so she concluded somebody else had won the radio. But, after going on an errand for Mrs. Fearn Christmas morning he returned to find the new 19-tube set at the Christmas tree with a holiday greeting and congratulations attached. AH CLUB NEWS There is a newspaper, The Globe-News, with a live publisher in Amarillo, Texas. The publisher realized that it was to everyone's interest that the farms of the surrounding country be operated on the most profitable basis. Many of the farms had little or no livestock, and grew too much grain. Better care of livestock was also needed on many farms. The paper conducted a pork production contest with the idea that the results would be a great eye opener. And they sure were. Imagine the surprise of the community when it was found that a 4-H boy had made the best record in the contest. He was 16-year old J. T. McDaniel, and he had won in competition with a lot of men who had raised hogs a good many years. The boy gives credit to County Agent C. B. Martin.

Many of the farms had little or no livestock, and grew too much grain. Better care of livestock was also needed on many farms. The paper conducted a pork production contest with the idea that the results would be a great eye opener. And they sure were. Imagine the surprise of the community when it was found that a 4-H boy had made the best record in the contest. He was 16-year old J. T. McDaniel, and he had won in competition with a lot of men who had raised hogs a good many years. The boy gives credit to County Agent C. B. Martin, who as his county club leader helped him to apply some of the most approved ideas for raising healthy and profitable pigs. One thing outstanding in the boy’s record was that there had been no hogs kept on the farm, so there were no facilities for them. The boy had to provide them, and in doing so he was very thrifty. Most of the things he needed to raise pigs he made with his own hands from plans the county agent supplied from bulletins and books. The boy made two self feeders, he constructed a self waterer from an old barrel and some cement, built a cement bath for the pigs, and a shade out of poles and bundles of grain of little value. He also made three individual hog houses which he moves to fresh ground as needed. He also laid out three pastures. These aids and a balanced ration did the trick.

Railway Commission's Utilities Fee to Saw Approval of New Method of Financing Out of General Fund of State Director of Finance; The railroad commission has forward letter summarizing its annual report, containing recommendations for legislation legislature. Particular attention is directed financing the activities of the railroad mission. On this point the letter or transmittal says: "We would also respectfully call your attention to a plan for financing the utility regulation activities of California upon a basis of an assessment upon the utilities rather than an appropriation from the general fund. This plan has been presented to you informally and discussed with your director of finance. It has been in successful operation partially or wholly in other states. It is identical to the methods used in financing other regulatory bodies in California, namely, the banks, insurance companies, building and loan associations, etc. This proposal would come under the budget provisions of the constitution, so that the appropriation for this commission would be fully controlled by the legislature and the governor." In the exercise of its rate regulatory functions, the railroad commission during the fiscal year 1931-32 ordered new rates into effect by which consumers under the utilities affected benefited in decreased bills by an estimated annual total of $1,655,948.00. During the same period utilities were granted increases in rates giving them an estimated increased annual revenue of $8,894.00. Describing the general situation of the utilities during the year covered by the report, the railroad commission has the following to say: "Regulation of public utilities during the fiscal year of July 1, 1931-June 30, 1932, was tested under economic conditions of a most severe and trying character. During this period of general distress the value of regulation was Miniature Houses, St. Nick at Party A miniature Santa Claus and houses on a mantel, a Christmas tree and well placed holly berries were decorations used by Mr. and Mrs. Henry J.

It was presented in some quaint versions for fall but now gains importance because French designers are using it. The lower model, shown above, is in fact an outgrowth of the shallow forward tilted beret... It is well adapted to the tailored mode, which by the way will be quite the theme for spring. Another model is the mushroom hat with brim turned down all around. It is seen in both narrow and wide dimensions, depending entirely upon the type of hat. Some stores are showing the mushroom brimmed hat with bandeau at the back to give depth to the naturally shallow crown. But count yourself in for a brim on that new bonnet; and that the visor brim is the first step toward the new season. Miss Bella Walker Honored by Class Instructor of Fidelis Group at White Temple Complimented by 40 Members at Party Miss Bella J. Walker, for many years teacher of the Fidelis class of the White Temple church, recalled with joy this week the extremely pleasant surprise given her last week when 40 members of the class met as guests of Mrs. Perry Mathis at her Ball Road home and complimented their instructor at a combined birthday and Christmas party. On behalf of the class, Mrs. Ida Hartle presented Miss Walker with a george-powder loving cup, while Mrs. O.H." Goodale presented the lovely birthday cake. Mrs. Bush made some or figures in candied fruits and seeded the min a box in which was introductory card that caused much alarm. Members of the class were bandied in "The Village Dressmaker," a comedy skit presented by Mrs. Carroll Yonge and Mrs. Frances Smith. Toasts were offered by Mrs. M. H. Owens, Mrs. O.H. Biehl, Mrs. Bertha Schmidt of Orange, Mrs. Harry Jarrne and Mrs.Frances Smith, Mrs.O.H.Biehl, class president, Mrs.Belle Tedrich and Mrs.George Starr were on the notification decreased bills by an estimated annual total of $1,655,948.00. During the same period utilities were granted increases in rates giving them an estimated increased annual revenue of $8,894.00. Describing the general situation of the utilities during the year covered by the report, the railroad commission has the following to say: "Regulation of public utilities during the fiscal year of July 1, 1931-June 30, 1932, was tested under economic conditions of a most severe and trying character. During this period of general distress the value of regulation was demonstrated both to consumers and to the utilities. This is true not alone of the more general and larger phases of regulation but also in the individual relationship between consumer and the utilities. The railroad commission has been able to relieve distress and prevent suffering in many individual cases. It is gratifying to know through actual practice that regulation, while of necessity general in its operation, does not preclude that attention to individual cases which the circumstances require. "The past year has been a particularly trying one for the railroads and other transportation utilities. The operating revenues of the steam railroads declined by about $34,601,000, and of the electric railways by approximately $6,799,000.00. They were able to offset a part of the loss in operating revenue by decreasing their operating expenses. The major railroads have been able to meet their interest payments from earnings or loans, but have had to reduce or stop payments of dividends on their outstanding stocks. The decrease in their revenue was caused by the unsatisfactory economic conditions prevailing throughout the year and to increased competition from automobiles, trucks, pipe lines, airplanes and inter-coastal steamship lines." In contrast to the decline in the operating revenues of the transportation companies, the operating revenues of the electric light and power companies, gas companies and telephone companies show an increase of approximately $4,000,000.00. These utilities did not have to borrow funds to pay interest, or reduce dividend payments. They are not confronted with any large construction projects, nor have they any large bond issues maturing during the current year." As to the extent and importance of the public utility industry in California, figures are given showing that on December 31, 1931, a total of 1509 public utilities filed annual reports with the railroad commission. These utilities were distributed by classes as follows: Steam railroad - Operative 43 Steam railroads-Lessor 10 Electric railways-Operative 24 Electric railways-Lessor 3 Express companies 8 Sleeping car companies 1 Electric companies 40 ING prisoners in state prisons; adopting lethal gas as death penalty; making parole board elective and abolishing salaries; revising parole law for second offenders; abolishing secret paroles; standardizing city and county crime records; seizure of trucks in illegal use; tightening up collection narcotics fines; $10,000 fence around women's prison; insane to be committed only by physicians; revising penalties for felonies; intermediate prison for young offenders; permitting verdicts in criminal cases other than murder by 10 of 12 jurors; permitting jury to consider failure of defendant to testify for himself; increasing penalty for persons knowingly receiving stolen property; changes in probation laws; requiring advance notice of intent to rely upon an alibi defense; changing law providing for alternate jurors; creating separate defense for deaths from automobile accidents. Motor Vehicles Uniform air traffic and police system; periodical inspection of all automobiles; abolishing speed limit on highways; raising speed limit from 45 to 50 miles; permitting revocation of driver's license for reckless driving without trial; abolishing use of spotlights on highways; discontinuing white cars and motor-motorcycles by traffic officers. Walter Hansen and Carl Vanatta left Monday for a four-day duck-hunting journey to Imperial county.
