This morning Optimist Martin, secretary-treasurer of local club, announced that $ had been taken in. "Definitely the sale was other big sell-out," Jubilian announced auction chairr Bob Schooler as he looked over the bare walls. The thanks the entire Optimist club got the merchants and manufaturers of our community who generous donations made the second annual auction such outstanding success. As the auctioneer's hand came down for the last time tired Optimists crowded are auctioneer Harry Engleman of David Weisz Co., in Los Angeles congratulate him for his splendid performance over the two campaign. Earlier in the afternoon the genial auctioneer had finished a sale in Ventura and had moved to Anaheim in order not to appoint the Optimists.

Our growth and development of the past ten years is exceeded only by the prospects and plans for greater development in the decade to come. "With more than 11 million people, an expanding agriculture and soaring industry, California is fast coming of age, and is assuming a place in the national scheme that brings great responsibilities to its citizens.

A THOROUGHBRED—The Doberman-Pinscher pup shown above wasn’t exactly hilarious while he was being auctioned off last night, but his blond-headed new owner was thrilled to death with the gangling young thoroughbred. ON THE House By DAVID G. BAREUTHER AP Real Estate Editor Open season for hobbyists finds many of us suppressed inventors and displaced cabinet makers handicapped for handiwork because we don’t have the right place to work. It isn’t so much a problem of room. We can spread shavings and saw dust in basement, attic or garage, usually without hearing much from the distaff side of the family. But who can hammer on a card table? What this country needs is a good five-dollar work bench. But apparently about all we can do about it is to build a work bench ourselves, spending many times $5 until we get all the equipment and power tools we want to turn out $5 bird houses, bread boards or yo-yos for the kids. However, there’s a lot of satisfaction in a sturdy workbench—satisfaction for you as well as for the local hardware dealer who is going to sell you all the tools you dream about when you linger in front of his fascinating window. Properly built with heavy legs and a thick birch or maple top, a home workbench can take a lot of hard usage in the building of garden furniture, heavy bracketed window boxes, or whatever it was you built the workbench for in the first place. Of course, if you want to build a workbench. A model of Old Ironsides inside a ginger ale bottle, or engage in other light and artistic endeavor, a simpler bench will fill the bill. You can get a nice slick surface with a sheet of fiberboard or pressed wood, such as Masonite, which will give you a desk-like finish. A rough workbench can be built with legs of 2x4s, framework of doubled 1x4s and a double top of planks of about 1½-inch stock. The first layer of planks is laid lengthwise, the second layer cross-wise. Nail heads, naturally, are countersunk. A more professional top is built up of 2x3 hardwood, bolted and glued together with narrow edges up. This can be planed diagonally, then lengthwise, truly leveled, sanded and finished to suit. Such a surface, allowed to project over one end of the bench, accommodates a heavy-duty vise and an inlaid gauge. A tool rack along the back of the bench is its most important accessory. This rack is framed up about 8 inches above the work to be inserted in holes in the rack. It is notched along the front edge to hold more cumbersome tools. Drawers and trays under the bench can be added as refinements, providing neat storage for backsaws, planes, nail and screw compartments and plan storage. There’s nothing like a homemade workbench to give a man a hobby. The sight of its inviting sturdiness makes the temptation to build irresistible. In fact, hobbies even survive the building of a workbench. We App RAYMOND HOMES BE THEY HAVE DESIGNED F AND OUR ...

Now They Have Chlorophyll in Machinery! DAVIS—Chlorophyl—one of today's magic words—has a vital role in the development of new machines for electronic color sorting of fruits and vegetables. Experimenters at the University of California's Davis campus already have built and tested one machine which color sorts lemons electronically by measuring the amount of light reflected by the fruit at various stages of color ripeness. The degree of reflectivity is determined by the chlorophyl in the rind. The sorter was developed by John B. Powers, agricultural engineer, assisted by Frederie C. Jacob and Jack T. Gunn, specialists in the College of Agriculture's department of agricultural engineering at Davis. Early studies pointing up the need for such a machine were done by Harry B. Walker, emeritus, former head of the department. Lemons are harvested year round, sorted according to color, and stored until they ripen evenly for marketing. This procedure permits the heavy spring yield of green fruit to be preserved for the summer market. Usually the fruit is sorted into four grades of color, fully ripe, silver, light green, and dark green. The electronic lemon sorter was tested last summer and proved that it was as accurate as hand laborers who now do the work. The feeder unit in the machine, however, was not fast enough to make the sorter practical for commercial use. Its maximum speed was five second. But now the agricultural engineers working on this project are planning a new machine that will Reserve officers in the Fourth air force area interested in volunteer recall for flight duty may write direct to commanding general, Fourth air force, Hamilton air force base, Hamilton, Calif., attention PRS.
