Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 23, 1937 Thief Enters House Through Open Door Burglar entered the home of D. G. Roy at 808 N. Pine street sometime Friday evening and stole property valued at about $25, the owner informed police Saturday. A door to the residence had been left unlocked when the family left the house for a short time. Included in the loot were two hats, a complete set of lingeries and a cross with chain, Roy told officers. More than $170,000,000 is spent annually by the 48 states for the upkeep of primary highways. Walnut Committee Officers Selected The annual meeting of the walnut growers committee of the Farm Bureau recently re-elected Rufus Porter, Fullerton, chairman; and A. D. Smiley, Garden Grove; and Charles Van Wyck, Tustin, delegates to the Southern Counties Walnut Growers Department. Members of the committee appointed from various farm centers in Orange county include: Joe Witt, West Orange; Joe Zimmer, Placentia; L. T. Hudspeth, La Habra; Porter, Smiley, Van Wyck and D. S. Halladay and J. A. Smiley, at large. Scout Discovers Traces of Road Definite traces of the original Camino Real of Spanish days were found in widely separated locations by Johns Harrington, investigator-scout who has been traveling afoot over the old route in an effort to re-discover the padres' highway between Los Angeles and Sonoma. Harrington has covered more than half his 500-mile trek. He left the Plaza church, Los Angeles, November 8 and expects to reach Mission San Francisco de Asisi, before Christmas. The Camino Real project is sponsored by "Westways," official publication of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Several years ago the magazine completed a similar project between San Diego and Los Angeles. The first recognizable sign of the padres' route was found in Newhall Pass where Harrington walked over the remains of an old road which paralleled the Camino Real. Just north of Mission La Purisima Concepcion near Lompoc the walking scout found about half a mile of unmistakable traces of the Spanish road. The highway was overgrown with heavy brush and chaparral but was clearly discernible. Harrington has had many adventures on his long walk. In the bed of the Santa Clara river near Fillmore he had to fight off a pair of coyotes which he had unwittingly cornered, and which turned on him. Nearing Santa Ynez Mis- is our business.

When candles were developed it was only natural that they be used to simulate the traditional lights, but candles and pine trees, with their inflammable branches, made an unfortunate combination. When the age of electricity brought incandescent lamps to take the place of candles, a great saving of life and property resulted. It should be borne in mind, however, says Electrical Inspector V. W. Hannum that fires and accidents still occur with the use of electric lighting. He urges all householders in Anaheim to follow a few simple rules so that no tragedies will mar the joy of Christmas in this community. It should be realized, Hannum continued, that Christmas tree sets are not of such quality that they will last forever, in fact, some of them appear to be constructed with the expectation that they will be destroyed after use during only one season. In any case, lighting sets should be carefully examined before they are put on the tree. See that the insulation of all wires is intact, and that insulation is not pulled back where the wires enter the sockets, so as to expose the copper conductors. If such weaknesses are discovered, the set should be discarded. See also that when the lamps are screwed into the sockets, no "live" metal is exposed. When lamp bases are too long or sockets too short, metal is left exposed which may make contact with tinsel or metal reflectors. Minimum Standard Operating Requirement for Banks Urge Completing its fourth year of insuring bank deposits, the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation has announced its forthcoming annual report to congress would emphasize the need for minimum standard operating requirements for all insured banks. Basing its suggestions on unprecedented surveys of banks institutions, the corporation will stress the importance of fixing uniform regulations for insured banks as a means of curtailing insolvency hazards. Minimum standard requirements contemplated by the corporation would be intended to buiwark for state banking system rather than as an instrument control of state banks by an amendment institution, Chairman Leo T. Crowley declared. Since January 1, 1934, when corporation began function 166 insolvent insured banks been placed in receivership merged with the aid of loan corporation, Chairman Cley pointed out. The 259,000 positors in these banks whose possits totaled $68,012,000, protected to the extent of 467,000, or more than 90 pe- put on the tree. See that the insulation of all wires is intact, and that insulation is not pulled back where the wires enter the sockets, so as to expose the copper conductors. If such weaknesses are discovered, the set should be discarded. See also that when the lamps are screwed into the sockets, no "live" metal is exposed. When lamp buses are too long or sockets too short, metal is left exposed which may make contact with tinsel or metal reflectors. Short circuits caused in this way resulted in a number of fires throughout the country last year. Precautions regarding the condition of insulation should be applied with even more diligence in the case of wires used for decorating trees out of doors, because shock hazard is greatly increased in the presence of damp earth. In preparing outside decorations for the first time, it is well to have a competent electrician prepare the lighting set. Indoor sets are not suitable for use out of doors. If children are to be given electrical toys at Christmas for connection directly to the house circuit, parents should expect to make careful inspection of their condition so long as they are in use. Electrical toys require more care than is common with most toys. Particular attention should be paid to the quality and condition of attachment cords, especially if these are of the sub-standard variety. If cords become worn, they should be replaced or removed before there is possibility of "live" conductors becoming exposed. These wires are particularly subject to wear at the point where they enter the toy. The cords on toys, as on all appliances, which comply with the safety specifications of Underwriters' Laboratories, carry bracelet-like labels wrapped around the cord, indicating compliance. Two or three fires were reported last year as being caused by sparks from electric trains falling into cotton piled around the base of Christmas trees. Electric trains employ transformers to reduce the house voltage and have an excellent record of safety, but, of course, it is not intended that the tracks be imbedded in fluffy cotton. When decorative cotton is used it should be of a material especially prepared for the purpose, which is non-inflammable.

Crowley declared. Since January 1, 1934, when the coration began functioning, insolvent insured banks have placed in receivership or gled with the aid of loans by corporation, Chairman Crowley pointed out. The 259,000 detors in these banks whose detes totaled $68,012,000, were rejected to the extent of $64,- 000, or more than 90 percent of their claims, by insurance, offset, pledges of security, preferment, or through loans and purchases of assets by the corporation. All but 595, or less than one-half of one percent of the depositors were fully protected against loss, the chairman said. Minimum standard requirements of all insured banks would give depositors even greater protection, Chairman Crowley stated. "No one can challenge the statement that federal deposit insurance has saved many depositors from ruin. Our record is such that today 13,876 banks out of 15,454 are insured. "Nor can anyone properly question the assertion that since the inception of deposit insurance communities have recovered more promptly from the shock caused by a bank's closing than they did in the years before it was known." He recalled that 16,800 banks closed between 1921 and 1933, their collapse wiping our $3,000,-000,000 in deposits which were never recovered. "Closing of those banks and the loss of that money carried misfortune and hardship into all communities in the country. How much disaster would have been averted had deposit insurance existed is a matter of speculation. "We do know, however, that depositors' recoveries would have been much greater. We also know that had the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation been in existence and covering any sizeable percentage of those institutions that many of them would have remained open."
