Traffic Safety Check Fixed to Lower Accidents Under the slogan "Check Your Driving, Check Your Car, Check Accidents," the traffic safety check program which began May 15 and will continue until July 7, will stress safe driving habits along with the necessity for keeping automobiles in top mechanical condition. This program is being conducted by the police of the United States and Canada under the sponsorship of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and is receiving the active support of more than 200 corporations and organizations that are interested in highway traffic safety. During the program, police officers will check brakes, lights, tires, windshield wipers and horns of all automobiles involved in accidents or traffic violations. Drivers whose cars show obvious defects will be admonished to have the necessary repairs made immediately. Traffic deaths for the first three months of the current year were nearly as high as they were in a like period of 1941, the year when the traffic slaughter reached an all time high. The traffic safety check is an elaboration of the 1945 brake emphasis program, when police checked nearly two-million cars and found that one out of every seven had faulty brakes. More Beef When Tails Switch Less DDT-treated beef cattle put on an average of 50 pounds more beef than their brothers who were left to swish tails at annoying flies, a dispatch from the Industrial Press Service reported this Avocado Plant List Remains Unchanged Standing pat on avocado varieties recommended for commercial planting, the Variety committee of the California Avocado Society issued its new list, marked by no changes, at its recent annual meeting. Recommended for northern Orange and southwest Los Angeles county are the Fuerte and Hass varieties, with the Fuerte variety alone being recommended for south Orange county. The commercial list now includes the Fuerte, Anaheim, Hass, Nabal and McArthur varieties. One change in the recommendations was the dropping of the experimental trial list. Warn Against Early Irrigation For most orchard soils in Orange county; it is too early to irrigate, warned farm advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, in a recent soil management meeting held for new citrus growers. More harm than good can result from too early irrigation in the spring on the loam and heavier soils. Even some of the sandy loam soils in the central and western part of Orange county hold soil moisture longer than usually estimated by the growers. Common danger signals manifested by the tree as a result of too much water application include yellow leaves or "chlorosis," tree decline, or weak root system. All of these symptoms, said the farm advisor, will be promoted by premature applications of irrigation water at this time of the year. Weak trees will require less water than healthy vigorous trees. Weak trees should be by passed in the orchard in order to give the weak roots a chance to grow. Wife to Join Vet Husband in Pacific Mrs. Robert V. Werner has announced this week, accompanied by her two year old son, Alan, plans to join her husband, aviation chief metalsmith in Navy, stationed at Kaneoho Bay Hawaiian Islands, sometime next month.

Chief Werner, a veteran eight years naval service, was stationed at the Santa Ana light station air naval station up until January this year when he transferred to the islands, Mrs. Werner said. Mrs. Werner and her son live here on Liberty Lake one mile east of Anaheim. AAA Head Say US At Critical Stage In Famine Relief "We are right now at the critical stage of our famine relief," said Stephen Griset, chairman of the Orange county AA committee, last week, stressing the shipment of foods abroad during the few months ahead with mean life or death to starvation thousands. Some easing of the situation expected toward the end of summer, said Griset when the European grain harvest is complete but this will be only temporary. Most of the European nations not, he said, produce even in normal times as much grain as they consume, and with man-power farm machinery and tractor horsepower depleted by war, production will be further curtailed. Our own crop indications are More Beef When Tails Switch Less DDT-treated beef cattle put on an average of 50 pounds more beef than their brothers who were left to swish tails at annoying flies, a dispatch from the Industrial Press Service reported this week. Experiments conducted by a manufacturer revealed that during a test conducted for 100 days treated animals gained more weight than their tail-switching brethren. Similar tests with dairy cows showed those DDT-sprayed increased milk production 15 per cent above the level of their unsprayed sisters. A gala south-of-the-border trip to Tla Juana highlighted by a shopping and sightseeing tour of the picturesque shops, is being enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Mallonee, Miss Lillian Stevens and Norman O'Brian, all of Anaheim.

HOTEL TENANTS OUSTED Declared unfit for human habitation, notices to vacate were served on tenants of the brick building, part of the Clay hotel property at 409 West Santa Fe avenue in Placentia last week, as state and city officials sought legal proceedings to have it torn down.

COURAGEOUS Some easing of the situation expected toward the end of summer, said Griset when the European pean grain harvest is complete but this will be only temporary. Most of the European nations do not, he said, produce even in normal times as much grain as the consume, and with man-power farm machinery and tractor horse power depleted by war, production will be further curtailed. Our own crop indications are good, and out of our domestic supplies we must feed ourselves and our starving neighbors, Griset declared. Latest indications of the world picture, he added, is that the food shortage will last at least through the 1947 harvest. While decisive steps have been taken by the government to free grain for our foreign shipment it is still up to the individual Griset said, and we in this country could do our part in alleviating mass starvation by buying sparingly of the vital bread and wheat products. Meanwhile as millions face starvation, the eyes of the hungry world focused on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's May crop report. This report shows that on the first of May, farm production prospects for 1946 continued bright. Above-average temperatures for April pushed most crops ahead of normal, but dry weather in some areas reduced winter wheat prospects. This year's winter wheat crop expected to be about 75 million bushels smaller than last year's record crop. Spring wheat planting, it is reported, has been completed under near-ideal conditions. Pastures are reported in excellent condition, not quite as good as a year ago but in better shape than in any other May since 1922. The early potato crop was the largest ever reported. Sprinkler crops are expected to be one-sixth larger than the recorded tonnage of last spring; and prospects look good for fruits, too, although frost damage hasn't been completely determined, Griset said.
