yf : / eal FOR ROAD SIGNS _@By KATHERINE BRAITHWAITE) "Te town of North San Juan is ‘comprised of 320 permanent ‘residents: It is so situated that the town’s ‘main street is a section of State Highway No. 49 and twenty of the Samilies of the above mentioned num‘her nave homes facing this highway, besides the elementary school building which regularly has attendance of 35 pupils. : as Tourists traversing this highway ‘have no highway signs.to warn them they are approaching a small town. Gonsequently they motor down the “main street at the average speed of forty rive to_sixty miles per hour. There is no sign to indieate the mame of the town. People ‘traveling through often stop and inquire as to its location. .There are five known adolescent youths and at least that many unknown adults. who drive “up and ‘down through the town at Jaw breaking speed and with cut-outs wide open. Men on Shift and sleeping dur{ng the day enjoy no rest. Babies and sick people are constantly -disturbed by this unnecessary racket. People attending to their shopping in North San Juan take their lives “4m their hands when they venture out on ¢his section of the highway. Chil“dren going to and from sehool or to stores are constantly endangered. The regular state school signs usmaliy placed approximately 500 feet on each side of the school building have not been officially erected here, The town has one, which was placed there by one of the loca) bar tenders. When the highway traffic officer sends a highway patrolman up to in Westigate the speeding the word goes " @found and the local offenders go on good behavior so the menace to Vives and limbs is never lessened. 4.The enraged citizens of North San Juan have petitioned the highway patrol office at Hills Plat for highWay signs and instructions as to how the danger of speeding and reckless driving may be removed from the community. License plate numbers of ears driving with opén cut-outs will be mailed to Sacramento. % a Mrs. C. E.Parsons and her sister, Mrs. C. B.

They shed impressions of -horror like the proverbial water on a duck’s iback. Little Red Riding Hood’s story, first read by the children of a hundred years ago is, when analyzed, a quite terrible tale, but it has never affected the minds of children to whom it was told. : “Given .1,000 children from one t¥pe of home, and 1,000 from a diverse type of home, show them the same, motion; -pictures:‘for “a “given period, and you find tha ‘#either grotip has been affected by the specjfic experience to any appreciable degree. “When you come to the type of child who goes to the movies three times a week, you undoubtedly find that what they have seen influences them to some degree, but how much of this is due to the pictures and how much due to inheritance from the type of parent which permits such attendance is, to say the least, debatable,’ the U. C. L. ‘A. lecturer Said. DRIVERS LICENSE LAWS CHANGED Various changes in laws relating to drivers’ licenses were enacted at the recent session of the state legislature and will become effective August 27 following the signing of the measures by Governor Merriam. A review of the principal changes was contained in a report today by the California State Automobile as‘sociation as follows: The present two-year renewal period for drivers’ licenses is increased to four years. Provision is made for a new. type of license which will probably be a. photostatic: copy of the application, reduced in size to that of the present license form. The temporary driver’s license period is extended from 30 days to 60 days. Chauffeurs’ licenses will hereafter expife on March 31 each year and chauffeurs’ badges will be replaced by a certificate. Q The same penalty of up to $1,000 fine or a year in jail, or both, for operating a vehicle after a license has been suspended, is applied to a person who has been refused a licens eand continues ito drive, Probattionary licenses for first offenders guilty of misdemeanor drunk driving are provided. The probationary license is not ‘available to those convicted of felony drunk driving, where accident and injury has occurred.
