DEANNA DJRBIN
GETS FIRST KISS
IN “FIRST LOVE’
Deanna Durbin grows up -another
notch in ‘‘First Love,’’ which comes
to the Nevada Theatre Wednesday.
Longer skirts, a more adolescent
!gutlock on life, and the first love affair of her screen career, are the definite elements in the ‘‘growing-up”’
program which, producer Joe Pasternak and officials at Universal studios have decreed for their—young
singing star in this picture.
Deanna gets her first screen kiss
in ‘‘First Love.” It will not be the
torrid variety—-more of the young
boy and girl kind, but definitely a
kiss. And, as a mark of the gradual
approach of young lJadyhood, Deanna
receives her first proposal of marriage. .
Bestower of the kiss and proposal
is Robert Stack, a Joe Pasternak
“find,” who has been playing roles
in Little Theatres around Les Angeles. He’s a good looking 20 year
old U. S. C. student, unknown to
cinema addicts, but who promises to
be a revelation on the screen. Young,
blonde and handsome as he is,
Deanna refuses his proposal in favor
of the pursuit of a musical career.
Pasternak’s ‘‘gradual-growing-up”
program for Deanna is credited with
more than a minor portion of the
success of the Durbin pictures.
In “First Love’ Deanna will be
seen with a cast which includes Helen Parrish, Robert Stack, Eugene
Pallette, Lewis Howard, June Storey, Latrice Joy, Marcia Mae Jones,
and Charles Colemon. It was directed by Henry Koster.

PERILS OF NIGHT
DRIVING RECITED
Tests show that glaring headlights
cause blindness for three seconds.
During that three seconds an oncoming car proceeding at the legal
rate of forty five miles per hour will
travel 200 feet with the driver’s vision blinded: A
Thousands of times every night in
California drivers are passing through
these 200 feet (longer if the speed
is greater) blind areas in which
their safety and that of their passengers is in fate’s hands.
Seeking to impress this on the
public, Chief E. R. Cato of the California Highway Patrol has issued orders for a campaign against all the
evils of night driving.
Principally he is aiming at eliminating glaring headlights, the socalled ‘‘one eyed’’ lights and the failure of drivers to dim lights on approaching other cars.
In addition. to ordering arrests,
he is requesting service station operators throughout the state to cheek
on auto lights when their customers
drive in for gasoline.
Indicating the prevalency of defective lights are the figures for the
first eleven months of 1939, which
show that 12,371 convictions were
obtained in California for this offense. Of these 6,245 were fined a
total of $20,759. The others were required to bring satisfactory evidence
to court to show they had the trouble corrected.
Other thousands were stopped on
thehighways and streets by officers
and required to have -corrections
made.
“One of the worst evils is the socaled ‘one eyed’ cars,’’ said Cato.
“These fellows are menaces to
themselves as well as to approaching
ears. Drivers of other cars do not
know which light is off, the left or
right, and consequently do not know
how to steer to avoid the oncoming
ear with one light.
“Also these drivers with only one
light have vision on one side of the
road. Usually the fact of one light
being off throws more current ‘into
the other light and thus sets up a
bad glare that aggravates the situation. A man with bad lights might
as well have his hands off the
wheel.”
Figures for the first eleven months
of 1939 show that 1,051 accidents
were caused in California by drivers
being blinded or confused by the
lights of an oncoming car. Of this
number ninety seven were. fatal accidents.
Cars with headlights that were dim
or out caused 275 accidents, resulting in twenty four deaths; cars with
the rear light out caused 127 accidents, resulting in ten deaths, and
cars with the lights not turned on at
dusk caused 163 accidents, resulting
in fifteen deaths.
In the same period there was a
total of 18,420 daylight accidents,
resulting in 925 deaths, 1,380 accidents at dusk, resulting in ninety five
deaths, and 16,764 night accidents,
resulting in 1,519 deaths,

1 RAVEL
LOS “~N@GBLES, ‘en. 29.—Modern
method: of transportation, the automobile especially are creating new
types of land use-in America’s desert areas, says Dr. Robert M. Glendinning, assistant professor of geography, at the University of California at Los Angeles.
Doctor Glendinning presents Death
Valley as example. Only since 1926
have large numbers of automobiles
conquered the—phyiscal barriers. Before 1926 a few persons saw Death
Valley each year, but today it is visited annually by approximately 60,000 persons who spend an, estimated
$300,000.
He points out the roles that Death
Valley has played since its discovery:
a region for exploration, a region of
scientific curiosity, a region of borax mining, a region of gold and sil.
ver mining, and finally a region of
recreation.
“The coming of the automobile
‘brought a major transformation,”’
Dr. Glendinning says, ‘The. valley
became fairly well known and this
knowledge widely bringing to light
as it did the magnificent physical
setup and favorable climatic aspect
of the cooler season resulted in an
ever growing elaboration of highways
and services both in and around the
Valley.”
VIA MAXIMA IS
FIRST WITH LINE
IN ROAD MIDDLE
BERKELEY, Jan. 29.—A-number
of people have claimed the credit
for originating the idea of the line
which rans down the middle of the
highways to keep automobiles anu
trucks from colliding. But it looks
as though the palm will have to go
to the early Romans, who developed
the idea so that their speeding chariots might be kept apart.
This was stated in the second Pacific Coast Traffic Officers’ Training
School at the University of California here by H. E. Hammond, director of the traffic division, National
Conservation Bureau, New York.
The Roman system was really better than the white line, Hammond
said. It used a series of wooden
blocks because the Romans wanted
to have permanent markers. And they
seem to have achieved a clean record
in regard to the traffic accidents on
the Via Maxima, despite the fact
that they were not nearly as careful,
‘apparently, during the chariot races
in the Coliseum.
A white highway with black dividing lines is more effective in the
prevention of accidents than a dark
highway with a white line, Hammond
said. The ideal arrangement, however, would *be a dark line with the
white borders, which is being tried
in a number of places. The dark line
should be—some-—glossy-__substance
which would reflect the car lights at
night under conditions where a white
line would not be visible.
. The system of pedestrian operated traffic signals is growing, Hammond said, and it is working well.

CALIF. AIRCRAFT
INDUSTRY RISES
TO NEW PEAK
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29:—Caiifornia factories, headed by the aircraft industry, employed more workers and paid more wages during December, 1939, than in any December in the state’s record. State Labor
Commissioner H, C. Carrasco reported to Governor Olson this week.
During December aircraft factories recorded an increase of 125 per
cent over the same period in 1938
in the number of workers employed
and-an increase of 108 per cent over
December 1938, in ‘payrolls, Commissioner Carrasco reported. Airemployed 23,909 persons last December as against
10,626 in December, 1938, with aircraft industry payrolls rose from a
weekly total of $345,000 in December, 1938 to $721,000 during December, 1939.
The report showed that manufacturing industries generally registered an increase of 16 per cent in employment and 19 per cent in payrolls
for the month.
MEDICOS URGE
PSITTACOSIS BAN
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.—That
the United States needs a Maginot
Line against invasions of psittacosis
or parrot fever, an infectious disease, of birds which is transmissable
to human beings, was indicated ina
report made public recently by Dr.
Karl F. Meyer, director of the George
Williams Hooper Foundation of the
University of California Medical
School. Present measures to prevent
entrance of infected birds are inadequate, Dr. Meyer believes.
Since 1933 it has been known that
birds released following the usual inspection and quarantine have later
infected human beings, Meyer said.
So the Hooper Foundation has been
studying the inadequate barriers by
examining suspected shipments of
the birds quarantined in California
ports.
These investigations have resulted
in the barring since 1938 .of three
large shipments of birds which might
have slipped past the ordinary quarantine procedure.
