LAW IN ACTION WHO CAN ACCUSE YOU? What is a good way to tell a free land from a dictatorship? Well, see who can accuse you of a crime serious enough to send you to prison or the gas chamber. What with the police and the court both under his thumb, a dictator's accusation is as good as a conviction. A dandy way to get shut of foes. But in California, for instance, no one person alone can accuse and put you on trial for a felony, not even the district attorney. He must convince at least twelve of a Grand Jury of 19 local people, or a magistrate that (1) somebody has done a crime, and (2) that you are "probably" that person. Even so, the law still presumes you innocent. A California grand juror must at least be a citizen, 21 years old, a county resident for a year, able to speak English, and have ordinary intelligence. He must be unbiased: If he has any opinions that might prejudice your rights, he must leave the room before the grand jury takes up your "indictment." Instead of getting a Grand Jury indictment, the prosecutor more often acts upon an "information" filed in the Superior Court. But before he can file it, a magistrate — any California judge, but as a rule a judge of the municipal or justice courts—must inform you of your rights and of the charges against you. He may then hold a "preliminary hearing." Unlike the Grand Jury hearing, here your lawyer as well as the prosecutor may put on evidence and cross examine witnesses. Either the indictment or the information must detail "counts" or charges against you so that you can meet them with specific facts. In these first hearings, the evidence need only show your "probable" guilt. At the trial it must show your guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt" to convict you. NOTE: The State Bar of California offers this column for your information so that you may know more about how to act under our laws. 1956 Sugar-Beet Program Starts According to an announcement received today the 1956 acreage allotment to California for the growing of sugar beets is practically the same as for the 1855 crop—that is only 120 acres more.

Ground will be broken Oct. 26 for a new $5,500,000 Masonic temple on Nob Hill, it was announced by Henry C. Clausen, Grand Master of Masons in California.

The allocation, according to Dan A. Schroeder, chairman of the Orange County ASC committee which administers the program, is 182,530 acres. The first step in preparation for the allocation of acreage to this county from the state's quota is to obtain the acreage that each grower desires to plant, and arrangements have been made for the county ASC office at 622 No. Main st., Santa Ana, to obtain and total these requests and forward the results to the state office for the determination of our allotment. October 21st has been set as the deadline date for receiving the intended sugar beet acreage from growers, after which requests will not be accepted. All farmers who wish to receive an acreage allotment for the 1956 crop of sugarbeets should call at the county ASC office and file their application at once. Letters will be sent to all growers of record, and allotments will be made only for those who file re: Get - Acquainted Room Visitations At Western Jr. H.S.

(EDITORIAL) The little old lady who loved America~ Most of us are lucky enough to be born with American citizenship. Helen Kolesz chose it. And being an American meant so much to her that back in 1941, when the bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, she volunteered to help serve her adopted land. During the war years, her patriotism and untiring effort resulted in the sale of more than $5 million worth of Savings Bonds. Bonds which she knew meant strength for her country and security for her fellow citizens. At the age of 72, Helen Kolesz died last fall, remembered gratefully by her government and her neighbors in Lorain, Ohio. This month, when the President proclaims Citizenship Day, we might all give thought to the truth that Helen Kolesz understood so well: That making ourselves and our families secure is one of the most practical ways of keeping our country secure.

This was disclosed with distribution of the Anaheim manufacturing firm's 1955 annual report. In a message to stockholders and personnel of Kwikset, Adolf Schoepe, president said: "It is pleasing to report that sales efforts resulted in an increase of net sales of $1,651,000 for a gain of 12 per cent over 1954. This increase was spread across all lines of products." Schoepe pointed out that company profits reflected a decline during the year, stating "due to competitive conditions in the lock-set industry we have been compelled to sell at the same prices which existed in early 1950 and also to absorb outbound transportation expenses; whereas, our costs . . . have increased for materials, labor, and services. Additional Costs "We also have incurred additional costs associated with product development and diversification, and the building of a sound organization for the future growth of our company." Schoepe said in the past year Kwikset spent $400,000 to improve and expand productive facilities. Kwikset recently has increased substantially its line of lockset products, and has entered the automotive chrome hardware, defense pyrotechnics, and powdered metal products fields. Newest product is the Kwikset Secure-All wall safe. Annual Report The 14 page annual report, issued during Kwikset's 10th anniversary year, illustrates and describes Kwikset's expanding lines of products, and shows net sales have increased from $100,000 in 1946 to the $15,415,000 of 1955. Kwikset continued to pay dividends amounting to $1.00 per share common stock, the same as paid in the 1954 fiscal year. "There appears every reason to believe that favorable economic conditions will continue through the next fiscal year, and we look forward to an improved year for our company," Schoepe said. will be a 450 car garage, unit space of 11,000 square a dining room with caf 1200 persons. the main floors, the first occupied with the lower of the auditorium, with r 2000, various committee and a large Memorial lobthe mezzanine floor will balcony of the auditorium, ats for 1200 more, organ various accessory rooms. rd floor will house the offices of Grand Lodge Standing committees.

Puts 3,000 Trout in Big Bear Lake Three thousand rainbow trout averaging three to the pound were planted in Big Bear Lake last week by the Bear Valley Mutual Water Co. The fish were obtained from a private hatchery. Each of the trout had a fin clipped by the Department of Fish and Game to distinguish them from those planted by the state. Different fins are being clipped on various lots and sizes of trout being planted in Big Bear Lake this fall by the DFG as an aid in determining their comparative growth rates and return to the angler's creel.
