Sunday night, September 15, fans will get a chance to see Hanna and his crew in action at the Auburn District Fair in Auburn as they put on 22 jolting acts starting at 8 p.m. The slightly built native of New York City got into the business of flying cars and jarring crashes due to a breakdown of his own auto fifteen years ago on a street in Boise, Idaho, His car was towed to a garage where another young man talked the fifteen year old Hanna into seeing Joey Chitwood and his auto daredevils. Chitwood hired him and he was off on a fabulous career. "I guess it's like show business, it gets into your blood and you can't stop. I really love it," declared Hanna. The group buys old junked cars for their acts, which also includes motorcycles and a man in a coffin. Mr. Atom, from Berlin, Germany, is the man in the coffin. Twenty sticks of dynamite are put beside his coffin and then blown up. The coffin lifts about three feet off the ground, but the brunt of the blast is cushioned by the sides of the boxwe hope. Another crowd pleaser in Hanna's show is a head-on crash between tow cars traveling 50 mph performed by "Gabe" Gregory from Vancouver, B.C, and Dan Carter from Miami, FloriWon't override governor’s vetoes now, says Chappie The legislature returned to Sacramento today, obstensibly to consider overriding gubernatorial vetoes, But no vetoes will be overridden, and it is likely that we will quickly turnour attention to items Governor Reagan has placed on special call. This is the second "veto" session since 1966 when voters approved a constitutional amendment requiring the Legislature to return 30 days after adjournment of the regular session to reconsider any bills the governor has -refused to sign. Veto overrides, however, are rare. They require a two-thirds vote in both houses and it is seldom possible to generate that support, especially when the governor's own partycontrols half. of the seats in the Senate and 38 of the 80 seats in the Assembly. As a rule, this extra session will be a totally meaningless, but rather expensive, ritual. in any case, it is unnecessary. 1966 was also the year that annual sessions were established. So if the Legislature wants to override a veto it can do so during the regular session, and if the session has already adjourned (as in the present situation) the bill can be resubmitted at the next session, which will never be more than a few months away. Thus, ov NEW SANITARY facility at recently completed’ wnite Liouu campground about 11 miles north of Nevada City on Highway 20, a mandatory veto session is not necessary to balance the executive and legislative powers. The Legislature may be able to justify some of the time and expense this year by taking up unfinished business. Governor Reagan has already cleared the way for action on workmen's compensation legislation which was still pending when the Legislature adjourned on August 3. And there is still reason to hope for reconsideration of a property tax relief bill and additional funding for the Bay Area Rapid Transit System. It should be noted, however, that the governor will not include these latter items on the agenda unless legislative leaders canpromise something more than endless debate. Property tax relief, for example, would already be a reality if the Democratic leadership in the two houses had been willing to reach a workable compromise during the regular session, I authored’ the major property tax relief measure of the session, AB 1590, and was greatly displeased by the attitudes of legislators who sabotaged this program. Tax relief had been promised by the Legislature, and the obstructionist tactics of the opposition amounted to an act of bad faith. At the same time, I agreed with the position of Governor Reagan, who feels it would be a waste of time to reconsider any proposal at a special session unless there is some reason to believe the Legislature is in a mood to take positive: action.
