CURBING DRUNKEN DRIVING "Although the new law providing stiffer penalties for driving while intoxicated has been in effect only about a month, California courts already are utilizing it to 'crack down' on drunken drivers," states a news release received by the Gazette from the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Now that may be news to a lot of folks, but it certainly isn't to our local judges, nor to the offenders who have faced them across the bar of justice. Our judges are sincere in their drivers faced the city court. The licenses of all are now in Sacramento, or en route there. They must wait 30 days for them to be returned, with the telltale evidence of their offense stamped on them, before they again can legally grasp the wheel. In addition, each received a stiff fine, $100 or more, which had to be paid in good hard cash or served out at $2 a day in the county jail. "We are very glad that the courts are showing a disposition to be tough on drunken drivers by taking up their licenses," the police quotes Gordon H. Garreau.

Now that may be news to a lot of folks, but it certainly isn't to our local judges, nor to the offenders who have faced them across the bar of justice. Our judges are sincere in their belief that drivers who operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants constitute a menace. They are doing everything in their power—and that's considerable — to eliminate the practice, or at least, to discourage it. The law, which went into effect throughout California September 15, certainly has, to repeat a phrase, "teeth in it." The driving privileges of a first offender must, the law requires, be suspended for a period of 30 days. For subsequent offenses, the penalty is suspension for 90 days, with added requirement that the offender must show proof of financial ability to respond to damages before his license to operate a motor vehicle is returned to him. In the first five weeks after the law became effective, eight HORN BUTTON FOOT REST Police Officers Hoxie and Taylor answered a call before daylight Saturday morning to the corner of North and East streets, where continuous sounding of an automobile horn was disturbing slumber in the neighborhood—but not of a motorist who was described by police as "having passed out," with his leg resting on the horn button. Next to tomatoes, beans in many varieties were favorite vegetables in Victory Gardens of 1944, and promise to be even more popular this year; they are one of the best foods that can be grown.

Council Meeting Here is 'Sparked' By Electricity Continued from Page 1 arises, according to City Attorney Leo J. Friis, from the fact the city is obligated to pay a portion of the cost of such conversion. The council would shield the city treasury from any contemplated raid by the unscrupulous, who might otherwise attempt to "ring in" a lot of articles that do not come within bounds of just consideration at such time, Friis said. The council also made changes in its schedule of charges for electric power supplied to industrial users, and in rating of demand under which less than 2-cent rates previously applied. A resolution adopted on that subject provides, among other things, that "the billing horsepower will be the horsepower of measured than 40 per cent of the coal load, or the highest maximum demand for those 11 months, whichever lowest."
