Fire Chief Stringer Lists Precautions To be Observed Against Holiday Fires Christmas is a time when thoughts center around home and family. It's also a dangerous time for that home and family—where fire is concerned, according to Anaheim Fire Chief Ed J. Stringer. First of all, Stringer points out the usual winter hazards are present: open fires, heaters and furnaces in operation (which, besides being dangerous in themselves, lower the humidity in the house), added to these are the seasonal hazards of flamable objects such as Christmas greens and trees, paper wrappings and decorations, aside extra electrical wiring and may lighted candles, too. In addition, according to the Chief, must be added the atmospheres of haze that accompanies the holidays. People rush to finish last-minute shopping, wrap the gifts, put up the tree and still attend to modern dance group to present Yule Program. In dance and music, the Fullerton Junior College modern dance ass will present "The Juggler Notre Dame", famous story by matte France, as part of the embined junior college-high school Christmas program December 18 at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 8 p.m. Director of the modern dance group is Mrs. Shirley Behrmann, who has this year taken over Mrs. Josephine Murray's junior college dance class. France's well-known tale relates the usual details of everyday living. It seems there just isn't time to be careful. "The fact of the matter is, however," Stringer emphasized, "that if we don't take time to be careful, a FIRE may result that in a very short time, can wipe out everything we were rushing so madly to get done, and a great deal more, too." Following are regulations for Christmas trees in places of public assembly: All trees in places of public assemblage shall be treated with flame-proofing material. Trees under three feet need not be treated, but have decoration of flameproof material and light of the approved type. Place of public assemblage, include the following: schools, churches, auditoriums, lodge halls, banks, stores, office buildings, cocktail bars, dance halls, and any other place of public assembly. Trees must be placed in the room away from the general public, and not more than one tree in any one room. All decorations must be of flameproof material. No door or exit may be blocked with a tree or decorations. Chief Stringer also included some common sense precautions to be taken in the home during Yuletide: 1. Have plenty of ash trays present. 2. Don't smoke too close to the trees, and be sure the lights are off when leaving the house. 3. Get rid of the wrappers as soon as you open the gifts. 4. Don't leave the tree up too long as soon as it dies. ment not only wish you all a merry Christmas but a fire safe one as well. "This year, remember the holiday hazards and give thought to safety," Chief Stringer advised. "It won't detract from the fun of Christmas—instead it will help to make sure the fun isn't spoiled—by FIRE." Fall-Planted Strawberries Bear In Spring, Summer "University" varieties of strawberries, if planted, will produce a good crop next spring and sum-up reports Farm Advisor A. H. Holland of the agricultural extension service. The Lassen variety is considered best because of its high production of large berries. Other varieties developed by the University of California which produces fairly well in Orange county are Shasta; Donner and Sierra. Sierra is resistant to Verticillium wilt, a soil borne disease, and is recommended for replanting vacancies in established plantings. New plantings of strawberries are usually planted on lands recently occupied by orchards. Old orchard lands seem to be less infested with diseases than fields which have been growing annual crops. Fields should be well leveled before planting. Broadcasting 500 cubic feet of chicken manure on each acre to be planted is considered good practice. This is particularly valuable on sandy soils. Double row beds 6 or 8 inches high are ghost popular. Rows spaced 12 inches on beds 40 inches apart are common. Plants buy on VA terms.

On the HOUSE "GOOD FENCES make good neighbors," the poet says. But good fences in bad places make lawsuits, the lawyer says. Some general rules about fences are fairly popular known Much less known is the fact that none of these rules always holds true. A reputable fence man recently told us "You can't put a fence right on the dividing line between your property and your neighbor's unless you both erect the fence together and share the costs of its construction and maintenance." "Otherwise," he said, "build your fence on your side of the line, but right up to the line. Don't leave any strip of land to spare if you want to avoid serious trouble." He was Frank Nichols, president of the Nichols Wire & Aluminum Co., of Davenport, Ia., one of the largest manufacturers of aluminum chain link fencing. Well, it's easy to see how you might erect an aluminum chain link fence in that manner—putting the posts on your side of the line and stretching the fencing right along the line so there wouldn't be any land to spare. But we got to thinking about the split rail fences, Abe Lincoln style, erected throughout Indiana and Kentucky, and about the fieldstone walls you see all through Connecticut, and the natural hedges that grow almost any place in the country. Where is your property line among the X supports of a rail fence, or among the green sprouts of a hedge? SO WE ASKED Prof. Howard Williams, property law instructor at Columbia University Law School. "Laws regarding real estate," he said, "have many ramifications in many different localities. If I were buying a house, or had a boundary problem in regard to a fence, I myself would seek the guidance of the best real estate lawyer I could obtain." He mentioned some of the hazards involved. If you guess at your boundary and happen to build your fence on your neighbor's side of the line, it's his fence. It's on his land and he has a right to tear it down. But can he tear it down without being liable for damages? Apparently that depends on when he tears it down. If you build your fence too far over on your side of the line, so that a strip of a few inches or a few feet of your land extends along your neighbor's side of the fence, you run the risk of losing that strip of land. But apparently that depends on what the strip is used for. THERE IS A LAW of "adverse possession." This means that whoever uses any land without objection occupies it by orchards. Old orchard lands seem to be less infested with diseases than fields which have been growing annual crops. Fields should be well leveled before planting. Broadcasting 500 cubic feet of chicken manure on each acre to be planted is considered good practice. This is particularly valuable on sandy soils. Double row beds 6 or 8 inches high are most popular. Rows spaced 12 inches on beds 40 inches apart are common. Plants in the rows should be spaced 12 to 15 inches. In home gardens where the water supply is small strawberries need not be planted on raised beds. They can be planted 12 to 18 inches apart in a square bed on level ground. Irrigation is done by sprinkling in this case. He mentioned some of the hazards involved. If you guess at your boundary and happen to build your fence on your neighbor's side of the line, it's his fence. It's on his land and he has a right to tear it down. But can he tear it down without being liable for damages? Apparently that depends on when he tears it down. If you build your fence too far over on your side of the line, so that a strip of a few inches or a few feet of your land extends along your neighbor's side of the fence, you run the risk of losing that strip of land. But apparently that depends on what the strip is used for. THERE IS A LAW of "adverse possession." This means that whoever uses any land without objection over a period of years may claim ownership of that land. So if you put your fence inside your property line and your neighbor uses the spare land for his potato patch for a number of years, it may become his land. If your fence leaves a path for public passage and this is undisturbed for a period years, the path may become a public path. This is why Rockefeller Center closes a street in New York—Rockefeller Plaza—to all traffic one day a year. The plaza is private property, leased from Columbia University, and Rockefeller Center by closing this street prevents it from becoming public property. The number of years that it takes for anyone to claim adverse possession depends on laws that vary among the states. The time varies from 15 to 4 years. To offset adverse possession, you must maintain your claim to spare land—close it to passage once a year, or plant grass, vines, etc. However, to maintain your planting on a neighbor's side of a fence, you may have to get his permission to walk on his land. Otherwise your passage there may create an easement over his land and eventually you might claim the perpetual right to that passage. Prof. Williams suggests that the safest procedure in regard to any variation of boundaries is to have a written agreement. And like all written agreements, it is best to have this prepared by a lawyer. HEDGES ARE notorious trouble makers in boundary disputes, ordinarily what is on your property belongs to you. If the branches of a neighbor's apple tree hang over your yard, the apples on those branches are yours. So are the branches. You can cut them off if you don't like them. But still there can be extinguishing circumstances. For example, one home owner planted a hedge in 1925. He told his gardener to plant it on the property line. Apparently the neighbor didn't mind as the hedge grew and its roots and branches encroached over the boundary. Almost 25 years later the neighbor sold his house. The new owner had a survey made and found the hedge to be a foot inside his property line. He figured it was his hedge, being on his land, and cut it down. The man who planted the hedge brought suit. He argued that although the hedge turned out to be on his neighbor's land, that strip of land belonged to him since he had used it adversely for more than 15 years. The judge did not agree. He held that the former neighbor had discussed the maintenance of the hedge with its planter, granting permission, and therefore possession of the one-foot strip was not adverse under the law. But the court called this an easement over the neighbor's property for the purpose of maintaining the hedge. And the judge awarded $400 damages for the destruction of the hedge—determined to be the value of the shrubbery. The real trouble in overstepping boundaries arises when you or your heirs sell the property no matter how good neighbors are today, or how good your fence may be.
