'Light Up Early' Says Highway Patrol Light up early. That reminder was made today by the California Highway Patrol to motorists driving on the highways in the late afternoon or early evening. "Switching on your headlights an hour before the sun sets may save you a serious accident or tragedy," Highway Patrol Commissioner Clifford E. Peterson declared. "Obviously you don't need them to see, but rather to be seen in time by oncoming motorists." Early evening or late afternoon is a dangerous period on the highways because of deceptive natural light conditions, he pointed out. At that time of day it is difficult to see oncoming vehicles in the long shadows and passing slower cars become extra hazardous. Turning on parking lights at that time is practically useless, he added, as those pin points of illumination can not be seen adequately from a safe distance. Hold Funeral Services for German Miners GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP)—City officials made plans today for mass funeral services for 63 coal miners killed in an explosion half a mile underground Saturday. Investigators blamed the blast in the Dahlbusch mine on an accumulation of gas known as fire-damp. Thirty other miners were injured. Gay festivities planned to mark German Miners GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (City officials made plans today for mass funeral services for 63 coal miners killed in an explosion half a mile underground Saturday. Investigators blamed the blast in the Dahlbusch mine on an accumulation of gas known as fire-damp. Thirty other miners were injured. Gay festivities planned to mark the 500th anniversary of this Ruhr city's founding were called off as grieving residents went into mourning for the victims. It was Germany's worst coal mine disaster since 1946, when 439 men died at Grimberg. FIREMEN IN TANGLE While the Orange fire department, misdirected by a phone call to West Chapman avenue, was rushing in that direction, fire got well started on a combination garage, storehouse and washroom at 17501 East Chapman, near Santiago creek, and caused $3500 damage before it was extinguished by the state forestry headquarters firemen, who subsequently got a correct address for the fire. The building was occupied by W. S. Welker. It suffered $1500 damage, while a $1000 sedan and $500 in household goods were destroyed. Firemen saved an adjacent small house and a guest house that were about to burst into flame. Birthday Party For Michael Moor Michael Moor son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moor, 824 S. Philadelphia st., celebrated his seventh birthday party, Saturday afternoon, at Anaheim City park. Young guests assembled at the Moor residence where gifts were opened before going to the park. A well planned series of games was interrupted, when the youngsters discovered that the plunge was being filled; needless to say, considerable time was spent in watching the water rise. Later, the children enjoyed ice cream, and Michael's two birthday cakes. Guests were: Bobby Jean Reed, Dianne and Linda Krauss, Melody and Diane Bradd, Marilyn and David Stebbins, Jimmy Hall, Jamie Chamberlin, Bill Lawrence, Michael Chamberlin, Joanne Preston, Robert Moor, Marcella Henderson and Suzanne Lund.

UNUSUAL FIND—Lila Peele holds up what appears to be a piece of rope but actually is a linked series of conch eggs found on the beach of Hatteras Island, N.
