Speed is Urged in Obtaining Licenses California motorists holding "good until revoked" drivers' licenses issued in 1927 are urged to apply now for the new type photographic licenses in order to avoid long delays later, it was announced today by Howard R.Philbrick, director of the Department of Motor Vehicles. "With more than 250,000 to be renewed within a few months it is essential that applicants present themselves as soon as possible," Philbrick said. "When the deadline is announced it will mean that persons will be compelled to appear since they will be driving with cancelled licenses, in itself a violation of the law. Told the story of his murder 3 years after his death. Young Guiseppe Veraldi didn't do the thinking himself... but spoke renewed within a few months it is essential that applicants present themselves as soon as possible," Philbrick said.

California Physicians' Service trustees, meeting in Los Angeles, authorized a committee to study medical service being furnished under existing relief programs of the state and federal governments and “methods by and terms upon which California Physicians' Service can extend its medical service to persons who are receiving public assistance through various public welfare agencies.” California Physicians' Service already provides medical and surgical care and, through arrangement with non-profit hospitalization associations, hospital care, for the moderate-income groups earning up to $3,000 a year. The new move is a step towards providing service for the groups which have no earned income at all, being dependent upon public funds, or whose income is so small that even the California Physicians' Service rates are beyond their financial means. For almost two years, doctors of medicine have been caring for members of the migratory labor groups through the Agricultural Workers' Health and Medical association, principally in the San Joaquin valley, based upon an agreement between the California Medical association and the Farm Security administration. For five years, under the State Relief administration and its predecessors, physicians of California have cooperated in furnishing medical services under the medical policies of these organizations. Tourist Travel for Season Increasing Southern California’s winter tourist season, in point of motion arrivals so far in 1940, is 9.4 percent better than last year; the All-Year club announced today. Sunshine-seekers arriving on the highways during January and February totalled 93,495, the southland's official tourist organization disclosed. Last year the figure was only 85,434. Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of California Physicians' Service, reports that after six months operation, its service is being used by constantly-increasing number of group members in all parts of California. “This new study,” said, “should point many further ways for the co-operation of governmental agencies, and the physicians of California in providing more adequate medical service to all people in California at cost that can be borne.” Buy now and Buy in Anaheim More time AN ELECTRIC RANGE SAVES WORK Dr. Osher Physician & Surgeon ve, Ear, Nose and Throat Dentist Oculist—Glasses Fitted ALL-ELECTRIC COOKING SCHOOL Thursday and Friday April 4 and 5 ODD FELLOWS HALL 325 WEST CENTER STREET 1:30 P.M.
