The smaller of the two field pieces, which so long has stood in the city park, was moved to the parade grounds at the military school, where the larger piece has stood. Capt. William Murphy commandant at the academy, had planned the impressive program, with the school band adding patriotic music. Mayor Charles A.

OUR NATION'S WELFARE MUST COME FIRST! OUR NATION'S WELFARE MUST COME FIRST! Union Pacific Lengths Passenger Train Schedules EFFECTIVE FEB. 15, 1943 LET's get serious about this job of winning the war. Vast quantities of war materials and thousands of troops are now being moved by rail. To better and more efficiently move the ever-increasing production of essential materials and supplies, Union Pacific is voluntarily reducing the speed of its regular passenger trains. All civilians who find it necessary to travel will willingly adjust themselves to slightly longer schedules and, during the duration, to somewhat less travel comfort if conditions so require. Our Nation's welfare must come first. These new schedules will be in effect February 15th, 1943. The LOS ANGELES LIMITED (Eastbound) READ DOWN 6:30 pm Lv. LOS ANGELES . . Ar. 9:30 am 6:57 pm Lv. E.

After the committee appointed to verify the petition reported to the clerk that the names legally signed to the petition were not sufficient to authorize referendum proceedings Mr. Merritt referred it back to the petitioners granting them ten days, as the law provides in which to file a new petition. The meeting of the Ebell club on Monday afternoon was a particularly interesting one, Mrs. A. J.

Eyman Huff of El Modena was next introduced by Mrs. Dutton and presented the subject of a state farm school for the southern part of California.
