Costly chinchillas, the pick of several states, will be exhibited at the Glendale Civic Auditorium Jan. 27-28 in the Western Regional Chinchilla show. The annual Peg Leg Liars contest, which begins Dec. 31 at Borego Springs, winds up on Jan. 1 with a search for Peg Leg Pete's fabulous "lost" gold mine. At about the time the Tournament of Roses is winding through the streets of Pasadena, the members of San Diego’s venerable old Rowing Club line up at the clubhouse for a custom that goes back a generation. While friends and families cheer, they dive into the bay in their annual “New Year’s Day Splash.” The point is to demonstrate that in San Diego’s climate you can do this.

Ph. 6843 Women Edge Men on Highway Patrol Driving Safety Testing Mechanism SACRAMENTO (P)—The fairer sex of California now has a chance to end—once and for all—all the nasty digs men make about women drivers. The State Highway Patrol has a mobile safety education unit—a converted house trailer — in which there are instruments and devices for testing driver’s reaction times, depth perception and general road ability. Patrolman Ezra Erhardt, who acts as “maitre d’hotel” in the trailer, said that in recent husband-and-wife tests in the Los Angeles area, the women almost invariably came out ahead. Of course, the husbands walked away grumbling about the devices being out of kilter, but the real fact, Erhardt says, is that too many people think they are better drivers than they actually are. Erhardt, who also handles the state’s campaign to teach hot rod pilots and motorcyclists safety, won support for his thesis at the recent safety conference to which Governor Warren summoned more than 500 experts. The trailer was set up outside the capitol where the conference was being held. And in between SA Pilots Hit Reds From Air TOKYO (P)—Telltale tracks in the deep snow led to sudden death for 50 reds in North Korea. A flight of Marine planes from a U.S. carrier spotted the tracks Tuesday near Fusen in the northeast sector and followed them at low level for 20 miles. At trail’s end they roared down on 50 reds moving a large field artillery piece. Fragmentation bombs wiped them out. Lt. George Dodenhoff of Santa Ana, Calif., spotted the snow tracks, Lt. James Dunphy of the same city, scored a direct hit on the field gun. Maj. Kenneth Reusser of Portland, Ore., led the sessions, the experts strolled in to try out the gadgets. “Most everybody who comes in is a good driver—the thinks,” Erhardt remarked. “They take a reaction time test and miss, or their depth vision isn’t too good, or they aren’t as steady as they thought.” “They begin thinking, then, about all the things involved in driving,” he continued, “maybe they will realize handling a fast car on a fast highway is not easy. They’ll be more careful.” The safety experts were in accord with Erhardt—that better driving, more so than better cars and highways, is the best way of curbing death and injury on the highways. One of the major recommendations to come out of their parley was that the state set up a permanent board to hammer home the idea of the “good driver” day after day. They proposed this permanent campaign should displace the present periodic safety “drives” and “campaigns.” “We’ve got to make people realize it is careless speeding that kills them,” Erhardt said. “They’re always asking cops why they didn’t stop the other guy who was speeding also. Because the other guy did is no excuse. Other guys jump off the Bay bridge every week.” Avocado Growers Meet December 15 “How Social Security Laws will Affect You as a Grower the coming Year,” and “Grafting and Topworking,” are the subjects which will be presented at the Dec. 15 meeting of the Avocado Department of the Orange county Farm Bureau.

HOMECRAFTS BRIGHTEN HOLIDAY SEASON A turkey platter, can be made in the homecraftsman's shop, large enough to hold a 30-pound turkey. The platter is made from 2-inch pine, drainboard stock and finished with coats of hot paraffin which is later rubbed with steel wool. Although the platter is particularly useful during the holiday season, it is practical for year-round use. For those craftsmen who prefer an old fashioned Christmas tree, thread popcorn on fine wire, and twist to make halos for tree lights and ornaments. Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S.
