GM's 'Train Of Tomorrow' Unique In Many Ways The Train of Tomorrow which will go through Anaheim tomorrow afternoon has been recently described by C. E. Wilson, president of General Motors, as a research project aimed to augment the service of the railroads to the public. The GM developments in the train, including the famed Astra Dome observation roof cars, have been offered without restrictions to the railroad industry, and many of the features have already been incorporated in car building orders for railroads. The GM experimental unit includes most of the required types of cars—diner, sleeper, coach and observation lounge car. It features a considerable number of railroad "firsts"—Astra Domes on all cars; an all-electric kitchen; train-to-home telephone; wire-recorded entertainment; an independent diesel power system for each car; a new type of outside swing hanger springing system which minimizes bumpiness and side-sway; and specially developed journals which also contribute to easier riding. In addition, the General Motors Styling Section, which supervised the interior design of the train, utilized dozens of new interior designs, material and methods to achieve comfort and beauty as well as utility in the train's interior. Three-level seating in the diner and in the observation lounge car is one of the outstanding features, while the sleeping car, with accommodations for 20 sleepers in private rooms has chairs in the Astra-Dome for those who wish to enjoy the scenic advantages of a top-deck seat, in daytime or under the stars.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. J. W. Harpster and Mrs. Joseph R. Skewis, both of Santa Ana; two sons, Robert Gordon of Los Angeles and E.

Meeting Called To Discuss New District 3 Plan The newest plan devised for formation of proposed Sanitation District 3 will be presented at a general meeting to be held at 7:30 p.m. January 12, at the American Legion hall in Buena park, it was announced this week by E. L. Whitson, chairman for the organization of District 3, who urged all property owners within the proposed district to attend. Included within District 3, as originally proposed, are La Habra, the west half of Fullerton, Buena Park, Los Alamitos, Westminster, Sun Garden Village, Stanton, Harding, Hansen, the Bolsa area, Midway City, Ocean View, Liberty Park, Wintersburg, and Talbert.

West Orangethorpe avenue, H 10 o'clock in semi-formal rites byterian church of that city pastor, reading the double-ring ceremony before more than 100 close friends and relatives. Against a background of soft organ music interpreted by David Moody of Fullerton, student at Occidental college, two black and white robed candlelighters lit the tapers marking the aisle, one at each pew post, and the candelabra at either side of the altar. The young couple repeated their marriage vows before an altar lighted by cathedral candelabra and flanked by branches of sugar pine decorated with shining Christmas tree balls of red, gold and silver. Old-world charm was found in the simple design of the bride's gown which was fashioned with a low neckline, fitted bodice and full skirt. Her finger-tip length veil cascaded from a coronet of white carnations. Traditional sentiment was found in the lace she wore which belonged to her grandmother and in the sapphire wedding ring which matched her square-cut engagement stone. Given in marriage by her father, the bride carried a cluster of white carnations blended with white satin streamers resting on a prayer book. Matron of honor was Mrs. Richard Couvillon of Santa Ana. She was attired in a pastel coral draped gown of silk jersey and a matching hat with an illusion veil. Miss Noel Jacobson, of Fullerton, only sister of the bride, served as a bridal attendant with Mrs. Three-level seating in the diner and in the observation lounge car is one of the outstanding features, while the sleeping car, with accommodations for 20 sleepers in private rooms has chairs in the Astra-Dome for those who wish to enjoy the scenic advantages of a top-deck seat, in daytime or under the stars. The dome feature, enclosed by heat-resistant and non-glare safety glass, is outstanding on this train. The effort to provide a car with this ideal observation space was the originating move that led to the entire train's design and construction. Practicability of the dome idea is attested by the number of orders for cars of comparable design already placed with railroad passenger car-building companies. The average per acre value of farm lands in Orange county was highest of all counties in the state, a late survey showed. Dr. Raymond Pepinsky of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute relates that he has determined sugar crystals are arranged in 5,000 different patterns—only three of which are edible. Although 500,000,000 bushels of United States corn reach big terminal markets every year, about 80 to 85 per cent of the United States corn crop is fed to livestock and never leaves the farm. National forest lands in California total 23,987,009 acres. ARTHRITIS This is perhaps the most widespread and the most painful and crippling disease known throughout the world today. It has been rightly called "The Great Crippler." Most treatments merely alleviate the symptoms. Our treatment REMOVES THE CAUSE thereby allowing nature to step in and assist in the restoration of health.

The prompt arrest of the two suspects was due to curious chance and fast police work. Patrol Officer Alton J. Hoxie, while making his rounds early Tuesday with Officer Robert E. Plaisted, stopped at his home to start the household fire for his family at 201 South Citron street. There the officer found a strange automobile parked in front of the house. A glance into the car revealed a dozen fountain pens, four wrist watches and a bag of money on the floor. Further search revealed two wallets concealed above the sun visors back of the windshield. One contained the name and address of Whitlock and the other identification papers of Daniels. The fact that the Grant Musick garage at 113 South Palm street, the west end Alpha Beta market and the Golden Rule market at 826 West Center street had been broken into during the night was discovered shortly afterward. At the garage the burglars took $16 in cash from the cash register and an acetylene torch and other tools with which they attempted to open the safe in the nearby Alpha Beta market. They succeeded only in jambing the lock so that an expert was required to open it. They had no better luck at the Golden Rule market where they knocked the dials off two safes without being able to open "HANK" SAYS ... The peace time Regular Army is not set up just as a strife military machine. It is on the order trary, an organization with a record of constructive control to the purely peacetime gross and welfare of our country. In the field of aviation, for example, the Army’s contribution to the progress of civilian flight is a thousand fold. Today it is experimenting with all-weather airtion and push button flight which a plane can be flown to pre-selected destination merely pushing a button! The Army goes to the air lines GCA, or Group Control Approach, an electro system of bringing planes safely into fog shrouded airports. In the science of meteorology the Army established the first weather forecasting system in the country, which eventually became the U.S. Weather Bureau. The Army also developed two important forecasting instruments. It is the radiosonde, a miniature radio transmitter which transmits weather reports from the stratosphere in an unmanned balloon. The other is a static direct finder, an electronic device locating distant storm centers. A today the Army is doing exhaustive research in weather conditions in the Arctic. Arnold J.

They succeeded only in jambing the lock so that an expert was required to open it. They had no better luck at the Golden Rule market where they knocked the dials off two safes without being able to open them. At both markets, however, they obtained a few dollars which had not been put in the safes. Meantime the Firestone substation of the Los Angeles county sheriff's office had been notified and set a watch at the 88th street address. Shortly afterward two cars carrying six men arrived, among them Whitlock and Daniels. They accounted for the presence of their car in Anaheim by saying it had been stolen from them. The four men with Whitlock and Daniels satisfied the officers they could have had nothing to do with the three burglaries here, but Whitlock and Daniels were brought here for further questioning.
