Also extended, was the requirement that burning permits must be obtained before doing any burning in open fires in the unincorporated areas of the County. Prior to the passage of the emergency measure, the "No Smoking" ban, and the burning permit requirement expired on December 31st of each year, and was automatically reinstated on April 15th of each year. Under the new emergency ordinance, a Burning Permit will be needed for any open fire burning in the rural county area. Proper incinerators with approved spark arrestors will not be affected by the ordinance, but burning in open barrels or other unapproved receptacles will require a Burning Permit, the same as with an open fire. The new ordinance provides that when rainfall sufficiently warrants the lifting of the prohibition on smoking, without creating a fire hazard, the Board of Supervisors may do so, by a duly adopted resolution. The County Fire Warden or State Forest Ranger will provide the Board of Supervisors with a written report recommending the lifting of the smoking regulations whenever conditions permit. Drought Causes Hazard The emergency measure was recommended to the Board of Supervisors by J. A. Scherman, State Forest Ranger for Orange County, for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety for the unincorporated county areas brought about by prolonged drought condition in Southern California in recent years. Ranger Scherman reported this condition has created an extreme fire hazard in the forest, brush and grasslands generally throughout the unincorporated county territory. To prevent the possibility of an outbreak of devastating fires similar to recent fires in Los Angeles County, with the consequent threat to the safety of persons and property in Orange County, in cooperation with County Council Joel Ogle, and was passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors. Betrothal Told Mr. and Mrs. William Trapp, Jr., of 8611 Rio Vista Ave., have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Barbara Jean Trapp, to William Champion of Anaheim, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lariviere of Fair Oaks. The couple met in the manufacturing plant in Downey where they both work. The bride-elect is a graduate of AUHS and her finance attended schools in Illinois. Their wedding date will be set when Miss Trapp's brother Lloyd arrives home from Korea. Bernard Raymond Funeral services for Bernard "Barney" E.

Accidents in and around the home killed more than 2,500 people in California in 1952. In view of these terrible losses and the vastly greater number of painful injuries, causing untold suffering and tragedy in our State, I, Goodwin J. Knight, Governor of California, do hereby urge that all Californians cooperate with the National Safety Council and other safety organizations in a concentrated effort to make the year 1954 CALIFORNIA'S SAFEST YEAR, and to make every community in our State a safe place to live, work and play. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 16th day of December, A.D. One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Three. Governor of California Secretary of State Musick Challenges Orange Co. To Meet Polio Fund Requisites Sheriff James A. Musick, 1954 March of Dimes chairman for Orange county, today called upon "Orange County people to take care of their own." He referred to the 1953 shortage of funds by the Orange County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, in its fight against polio. Plagued by two record-high years of polio incidence, Orange county was forced to call on the national reserve fund of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for financial help. Orange County Chapter of the National Foundation received $36,157 from the national office. reported John McKittrick, chapter chairman. Of the $132,330 expended by the local chapter during 1953, for home care of patients; for nursing, medical, surgical, hospital and other care; for wheelchairs, braces and other equipment, only $80,604 was provided by Orange county people. Even the additional help from the national reserve failed to cover the needs and the chapter ended the year with unpaid bills amounting to $18,369. These obligations must be added to the 1954 budget, McKittrick said. $150,000 Needed In January Sheriff Musick, as 1954 chairman, pointed to the need for "meeting local obligations locally." "We need to raise $150,000 in the March of Dimes drive this month to place us on a self-sustaining basis for the care of polio average family cannot bear that burden. "Assistance must be had and there is no place to get it except from the local chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. "To give that help, the chapter must have necessary funds, it is obvious. The only place the chapter can go for funds is to the people. Either the people of this county, or some other county and state. "We still have the burden of care which these two years and former years accumulated, and we will have them for years to come, added to whatever may happen in 1954. Post polio care is required for the 196 victims in 1953, the 212 victims in 1952, and others in former years. "We cannot risk depending on the national reserve of anyone else, because when polio strikes, it must be handled right then. We must have the money ready. "The March of Dimes is our safeguard against possible calamity. That is why I feel sure that our people will respond to the call during January and supply the needed funds to meet whatever is in store."

K. Hillyard's office. The surveyor's records show that 196 new subdivisions were approved during the year. They cover 2613 acres of land, which were divided into the 10,365 new residential sites.
