Courtesy Needed On Highways, Says Highway Patrol "Courtesy and cooperation could practically eliminate our highway right-of-way problem." California Highway Patrol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell today chose these words to express the Patrol's growing concern over the continuing epidemic of right-of-way collisions. "If we could prevail upon all motorists to display the same courtesy in driving that people normally show in their homes, much of the needless waste of life and property would be eliminated," Caldwell declared. "Cooperation involves working with others and obeying the rules" he continued. "One of the right-of-way rules often violated governs situations when two vehicles enter an intersection at the same time. 'This rule requires the driver of the vehicle on the left to yield the right-of-way to the driver of the vehicle on the right. The same rule requires the driver of any vehicle approaching an intersection to yield the right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle already in the intersection.'" The Commissioner said he had instructed every field commander to carefully tabulate the number of right-of-way violations and "This rule requires the driver of the vehicle on the left to yield the right-of-way to the driver of the vehicle on the right. The same rule requires the driver of any vehicle approaching an intersection to yield the right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle already in the intersection." The Commissioner said he had instructed every field commander to carefully tabulate the number of right-of-way violations and collisions resulting from these violations. "Unless immediate improvement is realized, the Patrol will have to make adjustments necessary to devote a greater share of enforcement toward arresting right-of-way violators," Caldwell said. "This type of driving behaviour is inexcusable and cannot be tolerated." Reisterer to Head Youth Investment Walter Reisterer this week was elected president of the board of directors of Investment in Youth, Inc., the non-profit corporation which operates the Investment in Youth building and playgrounds at 317 E. La Palma Ave. Risterer succeeds Clinton Flynn. Mrs. Keith Murdoch was elected vice-president and Max Besler was elected secretary-treasurer. Adolf Schoepp, former president of the organization, was re-elected to the board after an interim of a year. Also elected were Jack C. Polley and Mrs. Fred Klein. The board is composed of representatives of the Isaac Walton League, industry, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Anaheim service clubs. More than 4000 person-usages per month are made of the investment in Youth facilities by organized youth groups of the Anaheim area. An extensive summer playground program is being conducted by the Anaheim Recreation department for Investment in Youth. The program is open to all youngsters, particularly those living in the northern section of Anaheim. Whittier College Confers Degrees Whittier College conferred 200 bachelor degrees and 15 master degrees at the Fifty-Second Annual Commencement in the outdoor Harris amphitheatre on campus last Saturday. Thirty-five other students who will complete their studies this summer were also recognized. La Motte Cohu, pioneer in the development of U.S. aviation and present director of General Dynamics Corp., gave the main commencement address. He implored graduates to bring moral and spiritual values up to date with mechanical advances before man destroys himself. The speaker told his audience that freedom was the greatest strength this country had and chided those who would give up this freedom for an easy kind of security. "Security," he said, is the cry of the coward. Opportunity is the cry of the brave. He went on to say that security must come from faith in ourselves and our Creator, not from the government, not from laws, or not from pensions. His advice was: "Rely on what God has given you, and stand on your own two feet." Building Permits Issued Tuesday Kwikset Locks, Inc., Tuesday applied for and was granted a permit to construct a $150,000 warehouse on their property at 516 E. Santa Ana St., according to Homer Wallace, Anaheim building inspector. Also granted were four permits for buildings at Disneyland, including the Mickey Mouse Theatre ($20,000), a yacht club ($20,000), a rocket pylon ($10,000) and a merry-go-round ($7000). Attorney General Rules No Teaching Of Bible In School The Bible may not be read California public school class for religious purposes, is constitutional interpretation made by Attorney General Edmund G. Brown. It, however, may be used for reference, literary, historical or other non-religious poses, said the Attorney General.

To the extent that lie school religious exercises conflict with the teachings of home, we would be deviating from the concept of individual reliability in religious matters moving instead toward State tools." Brown continued. SCHOOL'S OUT!

Attorney General States No Teaching Bible in Schools The Bible may not be read in California public school classes for religious purposes, is the institutional interpretation made by Attorney General Edmund Brown. It, however, may be used for reference, literary, historical or other non-religious purposes, said the Attorney General. Brown also ruled that the State institution prohibits the distribution of the Gideon Bible throughout the school system, and religious prayers may not be part of the public school curriculum. The long pending opinions on such state restrictions were in favor to queries presented by the State Board of Education, District Attorneys of San Mateo and Monterey counties and the County Councils of Bernardino and Kern counties. An answer to the State Board Education's query on whether it is permissible to read without comment excerpts from a recognized version of the Bible in public schools, the attorney general and as follows: Section 8, Article IX of the California Constitution provides that "nor shall any sectarian denominational doctrine be right, or instruction thereon perverted; directly or indirectly; in one of the common schools of State." In the great ideological struggle in which the world is now enforced, enforced conformity of thought is not a weapon which side may use.—it is rather of the evils against which we fight. To the extent that public school religious exercises might conflict with the teachings of the time, we would be deviating from the concept of individual responsibility in religious matters and moving instead toward State controls." Brown continued. Grandon-Wilson Wedding in Japan Miss Marilyn Louise Wilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Huber Wilson of 1700 E.
