Mobilization of State Guard Set For Next Sunday All Units To Meet At Santa Anita Track; Four Thousand Strong Shades of the "minute men" of 1776 will march in silent comradeship alongside the home defenders of 1941 at Santa Anita race track on Sunday, August 17th, a Southern California State Guard units from more than 100 cities and towns, 4,000 strong mobilize for a day of military maneuvers. It will be the largest mobilization of State Guard troops anywhere in the United States up to this time. At four o'clock that afternoon they will pass in review before a great gathering of high ranking military officers and community leaders from every section of Southern California. Before that hour, however, there will be drills and maneuvers by smaller units, all day long, over an area more than a mile square. Squads, platoons, companies, battalions and regiments of the Guard will execute intricate movements in basic military formations and will demonstrate their proficiency in the manual of arms with rifles supplied by the War Department. There will be many contests in which picked men from each regiment and detached battalion will vie with each other under the keen military eyes of Brigader-General J. O. Donovan and his staff. Squadrons of cavalry will ride in true military formation and will demonstrate certain field tactics in combat practice. Probably the most spectacular of these maneuvers is the defense movement in which horses fall at New Speed Law Has Limitations Reasonable Speed Required Under Certain Conditions; Proof Rests With Offender On September 14, the bill raising the speed limit in open areas from 45 to 55 miles per hour becomes effective, advises the Legal Department of the National Automobile club. Regardless of the new "prima facie" limit, the basic speed law, Section 510 of the Vehicle Code, still holds. In effect it states that no person may drive at a speed greater than reasonable or prudent, considering highway and traffic conditions. These "prima facie" limits, such as the 25-mile an hour restriction in business and residence districts, and the new 55-mile limit for open highways, place the burden of proof, in a prosecution, on the defendant, to show that his speed, although in excess of these limits, was safe. Conversely, an officer may issue a citation to a motorist who is driving but 25 miles an hour in a 55-mile zone if the evidence presented indicates that speed of the motorist was unsafe.

Knifed In Struggle; Makes No Complaint Carrying severe cuts on chest and hand Nick Perez of Red Camp, La Habra, was admitted to the county hospital Monday for treatment. The wounds, he admitted were caused by a friend, Pete Hernandez, also of La Habra.

It passed unanimously—not a dissenting vote. During the proceedings comparison was made as to building kits in Anaheim and other localities. Contractors and builders who had made it a point to investigate building methods elsewhere presented their findings, which were that there could be no commission; that elsewhere mass building was the rule rather than the exception; that the type of building put up under this method was of a cheaper quality than that which would be acceptable in Anaheim. The consensus of opinion was that Anaheim did not contain structures of this kind under circumstances; wanted buildings of a permanent nature, erected for permanent residents; and for a migratory class, who, when the present mass-employment era had passed would be taking other fields of endeavor, living whatever community they lived in with a number of empty residences of the cheaper kind. As a conclusion to the meeting concerned were unanimous in fully commending Rudolph Nycomo should be driven with care,ates the Long Beach office of the National Automobile club.

"Under the terms of the transaction," President Zorn, explained, "Cal-Juices, Inc. retains the balance of its assets, including its inventory of finished products, which, in value, are such that Cal-Juices will show an excellent return to its growers. The remaining products of Cal-Juices will be sold by Mutual Orange Distributors and the proceeds will go to Cal-Juice members. The demand for these products is fine. "All future processing will be done by Southern California Citrus Foods, which cooperative we growers have formed in order that we may retain control of that portion of our fruit which more profitably may be sold in processed food form and not compete with our fresh fruit. "The operation of volume proportion of orange and lemon shipments from California has enabled commercial processors to develop radically their businesses in citrus products. They know that the growers can move only a limited volume of fruit in fresh form, so the result has been a tendency to beat prices down on the balance. "We members have requested the acquisition of adequate processing facilities and we now have them available in the most modern processing plant of its kind in the country. "Processing facilities can be used in various ways. They can be misused as a dumping outlet for fresh fruit, or they can be utilized skillfully as a merchandising means of increasing per acre returns. We shall process the fruit which we are certain will result in finished products that will not compete with our fresh fruit and which will increase our income. "The public is spending millions of dollars for beverages. We, as growers, intend further to increase..." The three-fourths mile long construction job on U.S. 101, two miles north of San Juan Capistrano should be driven with care, states the Long Beach office of the National Automobile club. Although most of the new pavement has been completed, there are dangerous shoulders on each side at each end of the project there is a short strip of one-lane roadway. This construction work may be avoided by following U.S.A. between Doheny Park and Long Beach. ASSIFIED (Cont. from page 7) WEIGHING & SCALES A. SCALE CO.—Man. near Cen.
