Proposed changes in speed regulations have been generally misunderstood, according to P. H. Ducker, chairman of the statewide advisory committee on motor vehicle legislation. This committee is made up of state enforcement officials and representatives of many civic organizations throughout the state interested in motor vehicle legislation. The committee has definite proposed retention of the present 25 and 45 mile per hour prima facie limits as the basic speed regulation in the state. All members of the committee, as well as citizens generally, recognize that prevailing speed on desert highways and many state highways ranges between 50 and 60 miles per hour. The committee has suggested that legislation authorize the state department of public works after traffic survey and investigation to zone and signpost open stretches of highways for speeds in excess of 45, but in no event exceeding 60 miles per hour. It is further suggested that the state department of public works be authorized to rezone present 25-mile per hour districts for higher speeds where the latter are customary and would be reasonable and safe. Further, it is proposed that the state department be authorized to reduce the 45-mile limit upon curves and where there is a short 45-mile district between residen- ture, shall be an absolute mum. The recommendations of the visory committee will bemitted to the legislative vehicle interim committee sisting of three senators as assemblymen, who will study and pass upon proposi vision of the speed regulation fore the same are submitted legislature in January.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH The question, "Is the Universe, including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Golden Text is from Isaiah: "Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; ... I am the Lord; and there is none else." One of the selections in the Lesson-Sermon includes these passages from Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light... And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle; and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth... And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." The Lesson-Sermon presents also these words from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "God creates and governs the universe, including man. The universe is filled with spiritual ideas, which He evolves, and they are obedient to the Mind that makes them." ANAHEIM GAZETTE In The News Anaheim Defeats Covina for Title Ccolonists Close Successful Season With Victory Friday Afternoon (Continued from Page 1) and some really topnotch blocking by his mates. Ed Olson tried a dropkick for the extra point, but it went wide. Mahoney Grabs Pass Bud Mahoney, whose accurate blocking was opening holes for the ball carriers all afternoon, set up the final Anaheim tally by grabbing off a Covina pass on the Colts' 35-yard line and lugging it back 10 yards. Marvin picked up six yards in two smashes at the line and Lewis hit tackle for nine to place the ball on Covina's 10-yard marker as the third quarter endel. One more play was all that was needed for the score, with Lewis circling right end to enter pay dirt untouched. His place kick for the extra point was blocked. The Colonists' great quarterback was withdrawn from the game after making the conversion try, and it may be several years before Anaheim fans will see another like him on a local team. Long Pass Connects Covina's score came with less than a minute to go and was the result of a 43-yard pass from Paul Priddy to Jim Colvin that put the ball on Anaheim's five.
