Cite Costs of Reforestation California's million and a half acres of brushland could be turned into productive timberland but reforestation costs kill the incentive for planting. This statement comes from Dean Frederick S. Baker, of the School of Forestry, University of California in a communication to the Orange County Farm Advisor's office. Reforested brushland might well produce 40,000 board feet of timber per acre in the next 100 years. At present prices that would bring an income of $400—or $4 per year. On the other hand, the cost of successful plantings would apparently run up to $30 an acre in the Redwood area and even higher in the pine region. For many decades we have tried to reforest California with German planting methods consisting of sticking the seedling in the ground and letting it grow. These methods are cheap but wholly unsuited for this area which has a Mediterranean climate. Plantings in California must be preceded by clearing of the land, and followed by keeping the areas around the trees weeded for three years, and protected against rodents. Since cheap methods result in only about 15 per cent tree survival, and expensive methods are unprofitable, the University for Highway Patrol Asks Santa Claus For Safest Christmas in History Dear Santa Claus: This is a very special letter and we hope you will have time to read it. It isn't the regular kind of letter you get each Christmas, but we think it is very important.

Yule Party for Junior Optimists Junior Optimists were honored by their sponsoring Anaheim Optimist club at the annual Christmas party last Thursday evening at Mother's Kitchen. A jovial Santa Claus was the star guest of the evening. Assisted by Sparky Atkinson, he distributed gifts to each boy present. Mystery keynoted the entertainment program which featured the art of Largen, the Magician, assisted by Mrs. Largen. His sleight-of-hand, unique tricks and memory acts included the materialization of two rabbits which were given to two of the boys. Louis Larson, program chairman of the evening, announced that the Junior Optimists will participate in the basketball tournament being sponsored in cooperation with the Anaheim Recreational Department. The event began Monday and will continue through December 29. The Optimist club is entering a team of eight junior high school boys. The play-offs will be staged both in the local high school and Fremont Junior high school gymnasiums. Competitors in the tour- Recommend Study Of California Coroner System Sacramento, (WNS)—A thorough study of the California coroner system was recommended here by assemblyman Thomas Caldecott of Berkeley. Declaring the coroner's examination and inquest to be outmoded, Caldecott said he has asked assembly judiciary committeeman chairman Ralph Brown of Modesto to authorize a sub-committee investigation of the system. "Some of the more progressive states have adopted an optional plan which permits counties to discard the coroner for a competent medical pathologist," Caldecott said. "While historically the coroner's jury was valuable," he stated, "present day scientific developments have taken such matters out of the realm of speculation. Today, the hit and miss findings of the coroner serves no purpose. The coroner's report is not binding upon anyone." He said independent studies made in other states have found that many murders go undetected because of the coroner system while in other cases injustices result because of the unscientific findings of a coroner's jury. Caldecott said adoption of the optional plan in California would permit a step forward in crime detection and at the same time could result in considerable savings to the taxpayers in counties where LAST MINUTE GIFTS Come from SMITH-REA CEDAR CHESTS Give Comfort!
