SICILIAN LEMONS NO WORRY, SAYS ROSS "Don't worry about the Sicilian citrus crop as a serious competitor to So. Cal." This is the message contained in a letter from Sydmer Ross, Fullerton citrus rancher, who is now touring Italy, Sicily, north Africa and other points, to F. C. Krause, president of the First National bank. Mr. Ross speaks from the standpoint of a man who is himself a practical citrus grower so that his message is of more than ordinary interest. The letter, written Dec. 6, from Taormina, Sicily, follows: "We crossed from Calabria over to Sicily on the 1st, and leave here for Palermo, Dec. 8. It has been raining in Sicily for the last six weeks and the orange crop is a 'goner' so far as exporting it, as it will not stand up for shipment. "The lemon crop will stand up better but all overseas ships cannot but show heavy decay." Orange and lemon trees are in great profusion everywhere, with a good crop but rather low yield. car coming from East Commonwealth has the right-of-way over the one coming from South Commonwealth—in other words the two cars closest to the center of the cross roads have the right-of-way. The new law, if passed as proposed, would give the car coming from your left the right-of-way. The change would give just a second more time for the coming car with the right-of-way, more time before the right-hand car got into the cross-section square. It is believed that this custom would prevent many intersection accidents. PLAN RECEPTION TO 50 CHURCH MEMBERS A big reception will be given the last 50 people to become members of the First Christian church of Fullerton within the past six weeks, it was decided at the meeting of the official board of the Houser Bible class last night. The reception will be tendered about the middle of the month, the exact date to be announced later, at the church parliars. A reception was given the prior 50 new members of the church six weeks ago at the home of C. C. Chapman. A committee was also appointed at the meeting last night to confer with a similar committee from the First Christian church of Santa Ana to arrange for contests between the two Sunday schools and Bible classes. The committee is composed of Rev. John H. Houser, W. L. Randall, H. F. Dierker, Dr. Jesse Chilton and F. C. Krause. The matter of a new building for the men's Bible class was referred to a committee who will report later. PUBLIC HEALTH MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Community Nurses Assn. of Fullerton was held last night at the city hall, Mrs. G. Hobby, president, presiding. Miss A. Jenkins, public health nurse, gave a report of her work in the schools and the community at large, and there was a general discussion on the work for the new year, tho no action was taken. understood that Orange and Santa Ana business interests are organizing to pull the extension thru Orange-co to the beaches thru their cities, ignoring Anaheim, which is the only city in the county not now on the P.E. These business men say the natural connection for the cut-off would be between Stern and Marlboro, north of Orange. The proposal to bring pressure to bear upon the P.E. in an endeavor to secure the extension from Stern to Corona is to be the principal topic of discussion Jan. 21 at the annual meeting of the Corona C. of C. and of the monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Riverside-co, which will meet jointly with the Corona organization. The recognizing the fact that construction in the Santa Ana canyon will be expensive, the Corona people believe that the beauty of the canyon will be a deciding factor in the matter. They believe the scenic attractions of the road would popularize the line. Six or seven years ago is was generally understood that the P.E.'s plan was to build the line to Corona. The rails were extended from Los Nietos to La Habra, Brea, and Yorba Linda, ending at Stern, now a part of the new Richfield oil fields. Since the development of the Richfield district the business of the line has grown tremendously. The Corona people believe that should oll be developed further up the Santa Ana canyon they will have an added argument in favor of the project for which they are campaigning. The distance from Stern to Corona is 17 miles. One of the last bits of construction completed by the P.E. before the war interfered with the electric road's plans for building in this country was the completion of a short road from Orange to Marlboro, a junction on the Tustin branch of the So.Pac.Marlboro is on the So.Pac two miles north of Orange. The line is used now for hauling freight from Orange diverting it to the So.Pac at Marlboro. It is six miles from Marlboro to Stern. KAFATERIAS WIN 3 WOULD REVOLUTION-IZE AUTO DRIVING The coming session of the state legislature will be asked to pass a law which will revolutionize auto driving in the state. They will be asked to pass an act giving the driver on the left right-of-way over the man on the right. In short reversing the law and practice of today. Quoting A. J. Swoffer, local manager of the Auto Club of So. Cal., "there is considerable talk of this among leaders in auto circles, they realizing that many of the accidents, especially in the cities, are due to the obsolete custom of giving the driver on the right the precedence over the coming left car." The point in favor of the proposed reverse is that the man on the right be held up for the coming left driver. To make it more plain let us take an incident that might happen at the corner of Commonwealth and Spadra. Say you are coming from South Sparda, going up on North Spadra; at the intersection of Commonwealth there comes a car from North Spadra; another from East Commonwealth and still another from West Commonwealth—which happens every few minutes during the day. Under the present law you take the right-of-way over the one coming from West Commonwealth, and the matter of a new building for the men's Bible class was referred to a committee who will report later.

FROM STERN TO CORONA A movement has been begun in Corona for the purpose of persuading the Pacific Electric to extend its Los Angeles-Yorba Linda line up the Santa Ana canyon to Corona, and to run a cut-off line from the proposed Los Angeles-Corona line to join some portion of the P.E. system that will give Corona people a direct connection with Orange-co beaches. It is one of the last bits of construction completed by the P.E. before the war interfered with the electric road's plans for building in this county was the completion of a short road from Orange to Marlboro, a junction on the Tustin branch of the So. Pac. Marlboro is on the So. Pac two miles north of Orange. The line is used now for hauling freight from Orange diverting it to the So. Pac at Marlboro. It is six miles from Marlboro to Stern.
