Anaheim Fire Chief Ed Stringer announced this morning the impending organization of an Anaheim Junior Auxiliary Fire department composed of Sixth grade students in all of Anaheim's elementary schools. Strictly speaking, the junior firemen won't be fighting fires. They'll prevent them. Here's how: Under the leadership of one or two deputy fire chiefs, pupils from each room in the city's schools will be organized to watch for and report or remedy any fire hazard in their homes or neighborhoods. When a junior fireman can report a specified number of hazards found and taken care of, he will be presented a Junior Auxiliary Fire Department inspector's badge, which has been fabricated by firemen of the city's Fire department. On them are the words, "Anaheim Fire Department, Inspector." Deputy chiefs, who will be responsible to Chief Stringer, who will head the whole organization, will be chosen from each room on the basis of outstanding service as junior firemen. Sixth grade teachers and school principals in the school system will cooperate with the Fire Department to instruct the children on what to look for and how to combat hazards such as piles of oily rags, too-full ashtrays, carelessly thrown cigarette ends, etc. "Children become very conscious of such things as fire hazards if they are made properly aware of them," Chief Stringer pointed out, "and once they do because conditions of them they'll notice them habitually and carry that attitude with them to adult life. We expect that the Junior Auxiliary Fire department will be of great assistance to the Fire department. Dyke Water Co. Modifies Request After Protests Application of the Dyke Water Company for a state franchise to serve an area near Garden Grove greatly reduced from the original 5-square mile tract covered by the application, was under advisement with the state public utilities commission today, following a hearing in Santa Ana.

CHISTIE Downey Pastor Is Rotary Speaker The Rev. William S. Christie, Downey, will be guest speaker at the Anaheim Rotary club meeting Monday, in the Elk's club. Mr. Christie is a graduate of Peeka High school and Ottawa University, in Kansas. He attended the Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. His first pastorate after graduation was in Warsaw, New York. During the war he served as a chaplain in the Army, with the rank of major. He was deputy chief of chaplains of the South Pacific theater, during which time he traveled 60,000 miles from New Zealand to Japan on inspection trips.

Property owners of the original five-mile area who were present at the hearing to protest granting of the exclusive franchise, withdrew their protests when Dyke Lansdale, owner of the water company, modified his application to cover only the Harris subdivision at Chapman and Euclid avenues, a tract already being served by the water company. Orange County Farm Bureau was represented at the hearing by Dian R. Gardner of Orange and Secretary C. J. Marks. Gardner told Commissioner Justus F. Craemer, who presided at the hearing, that the Farm Bureau was not opposing the franchise, but did wish to impress upon the water company that, in view of the serious water shortage in the area, the company should seek earliest connection with the Metropolitan Water district, to import Colorado river water. The tract in question, Gardner said, is within the newly formed Orange County Municipal Water district, and would be eligible to obtain Colorado river water. Ranchers of the original five-square mile tract who appeared to file protests were James Alderson, Katella ave.; George Vandenberg, West st., Anaheim; S. W.
