Yellow Lines For Traffic Ru'ed Out MENTO, April 3—The yellow line passing traffic lines so far to California motorists traveling over State highways is on its way out. Director of Public Works C. H. Purcell today announced that pursuant to authority vested in the department of public works by law and in conformity with the Federal Highway act of 1944 designed to effect, among other things, a uniform national system of highway signs and traffic control devices, he has executed the required legal order to the division of highways calling for the immediate marking of "No Passing" zones with two continuous or solid parallel white lines where overtaking and passing slower moving vehicles is prohibited, and a combination solid and broken white line when passing is restricted one direction for vehicles approaching a blind crest of grade. A solid white or barrier line on the right of the broken line in the driver's lane will indicate "No Passing." A driver may overtake and pass a slower, maving vehicle if the broken line is in the driver's lane, proving the way ahead is clear. The California Vehicle Code provides for a distinctive pavement marking for "No Passing" zones. These zones are designated where either the volume of traffic or the vertical or horizontal curvature of the roadway renders it hazardous to attempt to drive. Men Are Chefs for Farm Center Meet Reversing the procedure over the usual method, the men folks of the Anaheim Farm Center treated the ladies of the organization to a real treat last Tuesday evening when they prepared a delicious dinner for the regular meeting that was held at the high school cafeteria beginning at 6:30 o'clock. With the ladies presiding over the meeting, the business session and program was begun at 7:30. However, the usual reports were very short and little business was enacted. The delightful program was in charge of Mrs. A. E. Christensen, with the highlight of the evening the appearance of the colored poetess, Mrs. Ruby Goodwin of Fullerton, who is famous for her book of poems entitled, "Through the Kitchen Window." Her poems are of the everyday, loveable events that occur in the life of every person, bringing joy and pathos to the hearts of her listeners as she so graciously unfolds her story of life and its many happenings. Acme Cleaners Institute New Cleaning Process The Acme Cleaners and Dyers of 920 North Los Angeles street, have recently installed a new cleaning method in their modern, up-to-date plant, according to information recently received. This method, known as the Monite insured mothproof cleaning process, City Council Appoints Chairs Awards Committee These were the events in the council meeting night. Mark Stevenson, ex-owner appointed Chief Executive of the Olive street transit from the power plant dustrial section in part of the city was in charge of Grimes Electric Company Santa Ana for $4500. The council contract for the purchase descent lamps was in charge of Bungalow Electricals Anaheim. This is to be for one year, effective. The council passed 700 approving the annexation territory known as Heim Annexation. It is in thirty days from publication. The city's expenditure period beginning March 31 was $32,663 general fund a total was reported. The treasury, $145,650.53 county taxes will bequent April 20. There had 210 cases in city total fines $4,121. Put deposited $38,291 with The police department the treasury $240.40 license collection. Permits were issued month of March, will set at $178,306. Water purchased it was 69,454,000 gallons per pumped by the city to 1,469,000 gallons in the city's wells. County Farmers Discuss Problems At Hemet Meet Farmers southern California, including contingent of about 25 from Orange county, who met at Hemet recently found that their problems continue to occur. They passed several resolutions that centered around the scarcity of feeds for livestock and poultry, but also covered other fields. The use of grains needed for food in the production of alcohol for beverage purposes was hit in a request that it be prohibited until there are sufficient supplies of grain for food and feed. Concern over the possible caliber of state legislators unless adequate is provided to make it possible for good men to serve the state was shown in a resolution at requested the state Farnes bureau to make a study and report. Conservation of food was urged in a resolution presented by the ladies at the conference and adopted by the assembly. It stated that "we too are on record as being willing to get along with less and simpler food, if necessary, and to avoid all waste in order to save other peoples in the world from undernourishment and starvation." An increase in the price of butter-fat by 11c per pound and of milk by one cent per quart was urged in order to continue production in spite of greatly increased feed and other cost. Poultry pointed to the fact that driver may overtake and pass a slower, maving vehicle if the broken line is in the driver's lane, proving the way ahead is clear. The California Vehicle Code provides for a distinctive pavement marking for "No Passing" zones. These zones are designated where either the volume of traffic or the vertical or horizontal curvature of the roadway renders it hazardous to attempt to drive to the left of such markings. "It will require several months" Purcell said, "to change the markings at all 'No Passing' zones and eliminate the yellow line now used to indicate 'No Passing.' There will be a transition period during which both the present and new type of markings will be in place and must legally be observed." Institute New Cleaning Process The Acme Cleaners and Dyers of 920 North Los Angeles street, have recently installed a new cleaning method in their modern, up-to-date plant, according to information recently received. This method, known as the Monite insured mothproof cleaning process, renders clothes mothproof while they are being cleaned and is absolutely harmless, odorless and non-poisonous. Warren Ashleigh, affable owner-manager of the Acme Cleaners, is highly pleased with the process and assures the public that guaranteed work will be sent from his plant. Stated Mr. Ashleigh, "We are offering this new innovation in clothes care for the protection of our customers. It is an added service we feel every garment should have, and while it is worth untold money to the citizens of Anaheim, we are offering it without one cent additional cost over our regular cleaning prices." Garments treated by this new method are insured against moth damage for a period of six months, with the insurance, guaranteed by Ace Cleaners, carried by one of the country's largest insurance companies. Mr. Ashleigh explained that the process involves the use of a special chemical solution in the regular cleaning fluid and that fabrics are made mothproof in every fibre. It was pointed out that any other method of mothproofing is less efficient, since creases, seams and hems might be overlooked or be actually inaccessible. The Acme cleaning establishment is fortunate by being given the process by the Monite company of St. Louis, Mo., who hold all patent rights of this cleaning method. Local Doctors Named to V.A. List Names of physicians in Orange county, members of the California Physicians Service and available for immediate out-patient treatment for all veterans who have filed claims for service-connected disabilities regardless of whether they have been adjudicated, were released recently by the Veterans Administration. This is in accordance with a re- stated that "we too are on record as being willing to get along with less and simpler food, if necessary, and to avoid all waste in order to save other peoples in the world from undernourishment and starvation." An increase in the price of butter-fat by 11c per pound and of milk by one cent per quart was urged in order to continue production in spite of greatly increased feed and other cost. Poultry pointed to the fact that enough eggs and poultry has never been produced in this part of the west coast sufficiently to supply local markets; that poultry flocks are being disposed of at an alarming rate at present due to feed shortages and costs; that government policies on feed are making the situation worse; that "mixed feeds have decreased in productive potentiality by adulteration of ingredients and by necessary black market prices." They asked actions which would properly inform growers of the future and assure them an equitable amount of available feeds. The meeting was presided over by S. W. Stanley, director, of Tustin. Among those present from Orange county were: Mrs. L. M. Osterman, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Freeman, C. J. Marks, of Santa Ana; W. W.

Car Plunges Over East Olive Bridge A blue coupe came at a high rate of speed up the road from Olive to Anaheim. Suddenly it swerved off the road, then back on again. And then it seemed to give a convulsive jerk, and tore off the road, smashed into and through the concrete guard at the north side of the eastern approach to the Olive bridge, made a complete somersault through the air to land right side up facing the north almost beneath the bridge. This happened at 9:15 a.m., Tuesday. Nine minutes later the wreck was discovered by an unidentified person, who found a man badly hurt, huddled on the seat facing the right door. This person immediately notified the Anaheim police department who summoned an ambulance.

Nine minutes later the wreck was discovered by an unidentified person, who found a man badly hurt, huddled on the seat facing the right door. This person immediately notified the Anaheim police department who summoned an ambulance. The local police then turned the case over to the highway patrol. Arriving on the scene at 9:30, the patrol was holding the crowd which had rapidly gathered, away from the car as well as they could. The coupe was badly smashed in the front, while the force of the crash through the concrete guard had crushed the front fenders against the tires, blowing them out. The rear tires and the spare were unharmed. Both doors had been flung open by the crash through the concrete guard. The back of the car's seat was torn loose and laying on the seat. The injured man's name is Robert I. Williams, registered on his driver's license as living in San Juan Capistrano. The only clue to his exact residence was his post office number, given as 398. The ambulance drivers climbed down the embankment with a stretcher and carefully removed the man from the car. Williams had a bad concussion on the forward left side of his head. It looked as though the broken bone was piercing the brain. His hair around the wound was matted with blood, and strands of hair were sticking in the wound. The drivers took him up to the ambulance and at about 9:50 drove off to the county hospital. By the badly bent and bloody choke and the splattered blood on the right side of the choke, it looked as though he had struck his head there. There was a great deal of blood on the seat where his head was lying and he was bleeding a good deal from the nose and mouth. By the side of the coupe was laying a large section of the concrete guard which the car had carried with it in its wild plunge. The opinion of the two highway patrolmen was that he was going so fast he lost control of the vehicle. He could also have gone to sleep momentarily. Rosedale, Yorba Linda. These local 4-H senior members received the trip to Berkeley with all expenses paid by sponsoring organizations. Rotary club and the Farm bureau of Yorba Linda; Anaheim Kiwanis club and Farm bureau; West Orange Farm center and 4-H club and Tustin Farm center and senior Livewires 4-H club are the agencies underwriting the expenses to Berkeley. Salvation Army Local Fund Drive Well Under Way The annual local campaign for funds for the Salvation Army began last week with gratifying results, according to O. H. Renner of Anaheim, chairman of the sponsoring committee. Contributions received in the district approximately correspond to the figures of last year, he revealed. Renner again emphasized the "necessity for giving the maximum support" to the philanthropic organization, this year, especially since it faces "a world-wide program of rehabilitation now under way, in addition to the necessity of strengthening its personnel and physical properties at home due to the heavy demand made during the war." With an 80-year record to its credit, the Salvation Army is not a member agency of the Anaheim Community Chest and does not derive benefit from other campaigns conducted in this district, he explained. Contributions may be sent to O. E. Hanson, manager of the Bank of America of Anaheim, and local committee treasurer. Poultry Ceilings Not to Be Removed The OPA has announced that price ceilings on poultry will not be removed or suspended. Suspension of these ceilings were under consideration, but the general level of poultry prices have firmed up to current ceilings, due to shortening of meat supplies in some areas and heavier sales of poultry by producers as a result of the acute shortage of poultry feed. OPA said that any decontrol action on poultry will be held in abeyance until the food situation as a whole is more stable.
