He also informed the board that the California Central Railway refused to pay taxes on the assessment as made by the assessor, but agreed to pay on the valuation made by the State Board of Equalization. The clerk notified to obtain the mileage and valuation of said railroad property within the corporate limits of the city and the assessor was authorized to change such valuation on the assessment book to correspond with the valuation given by the state board of equalization.

It is appropriate and fitting that the Mother Colony should assemble within her gates and royally entertain the surviving remnant of the sturdy sons and daughters who came here when the country was wilderness and desert and blazed the way for the civilization and prosperity its people now enjoy. A list of all the old timers still living will be procured from each of the southern counties bringing here all who are able to travel and will consent to come and welcome them to Anaheim. Each of the several boards of trade and chambers of commerce of Orange county will be asked to prepare floats for the big street parade which will be one of the greatest features of the week. F. K.

Surveyors Wood and Wright have completed the map of the boundary line between Orange and Los Angeles counties. All that remains to be done at present is the monumenting. The dividing line runs very closely along Coyote creek and deviates little either way. This was done so that forty-acre tracts lying along the boundary line should not be divided, throwing a small part into each county. For seventeen miles after leaving the creek the line runs in a direct route, first some three miles due north, and then easterly to the San Bernardino county line a distance of fourteen miles. For a greater part of the way the county was very mountainous rendering work exceedingly difficult. The expense so far is $1,300 which will be considerably increased by the iron monuments, forty-five of which will be placed at intervals along the line. The expense is borne equally by the two counties. Oscar Renner while going home from school on Tuesday evening, was struck in the eye by a schoolmate who playfully threw the missile at him.

It will be built just north of the present bridge and travel will not be disturbed while it is under construction. A letter was received from the Los Angeles chamber of commerce thanking F. K.

Dreyfus & Co. on their Center street property. Max Nebelung has shipped twenty thousand pampas plumes to Los Angeles, the crop being one of the finest ever raised here. The plumas sell readily in the market at $20 per thousand. How to Figure Car Speed Per Second A simple formula to calculate speed in feet per second which will be within two per cent correct is offered by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. The formula is to take the speed denoted by the speedometer add half the speed and you have one number of feet traveled per second. Thus a car traveling 30 miles an hour is found to be covering approximately 45 feet per second by adding the speed, 70 miles per hour, plus half of the speed which is 15. W. W.

Workers Over 65 Come Under Law All age limits under Social Security have been removed by new amendments to the act recently passed by congress, according to announcement made today by Rogan, collector if internal venue for southern California. Employees over 65 years of age stated Rogan, "are now inducted in the taxing provisions of the act, and as a result will henceforth be eligible for benefits based wages they earn after their 65th birthday. Heretofore they have been eligible for benefits only on wages earned up to age 65." These provisions are retroacted to January 1, 1939, and all ages paid since that date to employees over 65 must be reported to the collector of internal revenue the employer in his old age insurance tax return for the third quarter of 1939. Employers are responsible both for their share of taxes and, with very few exceptions, for their employees' care," added Rogan. All employers who have paid wages in any form since January 1939, to employees over 65, and who have not already reported such wages, should get in touch with the internal revenue office in their district. They will be given solicit instructions concerning the correct manner to make reports. "A great number of employers have never filed reports," concluded Rogan, "because their only employees are over age 65. These employers, above all others, should immediately communicate with our offices. They must now file Promoted H. C. VINCENT Promotion of H. C.

The woman, Mrs Wesley LeFevre, 28, of Los Angeles was cut and sustained possible internal injuries. Her son, Billy 8, was cut and bruised. The husband and father of the victims was driving the car from which they were thrown, when it skidded off the highway after being struck in the rear by one operated by Roslyn Newton, 18, of 601 California avenue, Huntington Beach. Citrus operates in a league which is generally conceded to be weaker than the Sunset loop and hasn't acquired a reputation as being world beaters. However, this year is a new season and the invaders may have more on the ball than is apparent. Fans should find the game highly enjoyable, if for no other reason that it will provide the first showing of the new high school rules which permit more open and spectacular play.

UCLA acquired a goodly share of outstanding grid talent and, if organized to any extent, should give Coach Bill Cook's gang a busy evening. The Dons, sparked by Sam Henderson of Brea, turned back Santa Monica Jaysee last Friday night, 13 to 6, and will have the advantage of going into their third game of the season. Cook is pretty well acquainted with his material by this time and his club should be even stronger than it was against the Corsairs. Bill Ross and Jimmy Nunez, former Colonists, will see plenty of action and will probably be in the starting line-up. Some experts who saw Fullerton in its debut last Friday night against Glendale say that the game was one of the best opening contests they have ever seen. The Hornets nosed out a 14 to 13 victory on the strength of the placement kicking of Bill Goodman, fullback, but showed a rather definite weakness in pass defense. Coach Wendell Pickens stressed that form of defense in practice sessions this week, so the Hornets figure to show to better advantage in that department of play tomorrow night. Obviously, there was little wrong with the Swarm's attack in the opener, with little Tad Itawa leading the way. With more help from Philo Smith and Glen Israel, the Hornets should also improve there. Long Beach is rated as better than for several years and the outcome appears to be a toss-up. God intends no man to live in this world without working; but Los Angeles Fair Postpones Close In response to a demand from all parts of southern California by those who were prevented from visiting Los Angeles County Fair because of the excessive heat of the first week and the rains of the first part of this week, the board of directors unanimously decided to extend the fair an additional week, making the closing date Sunday, Oct. 8. This action was taken following a careful canvas of the exhibitors wherein it was learned that they were willing to hold over. As a result, the 30,000 exhibits in the various departments will continue as usual or better than usual because every exhibitor will have his entry dolled up to perfection in anticipation of the additional thousands of visitors. Already orders have gone forth for additional materials including fruits and vegetables to replace those now on display. To add interest and zest to the closing days fair officials are arranging for new and added features and attractions. Some of the most important of the special days will be repeated. Every facility will be thrown into the effort to make the new closing days memorable.
