Dec. 18 is the closing date for applications. Applicants will be notified of time and place to report for the written test which will be given in San Francisco.

Application should be made to the Board of U.S. Civil Service Examiners, San Francisco Naval Shipyard, San Francisco 24. Further information can be obtained from the employment office, said Ray Medley, manag Sebastopol Variety Show Tomorrow Night A NOMINATING committee consisting of Nathan Thompson, Mr. Berger and A. P.

Behrens was named during the November meeting to nominate a candidate to replace Ray Gam-bonini, a board member who resigned. The nomination, when approved by the Citizens Committee and the directors, would be presented to the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors for appointment. The committee has thus far been unable to come up with a nominee who will consent to take the job, but it is continuing to work through a list of prospects of considerable length, Mr. Berger said. Discussions in the past have ranged all the way from a $750,00 to a $1,500,000 hospital and with costs going from to $25,000 a bed.

The district has an option on city-owned Oak Hill Park which expires next October. The meeting will be in the Chamber of Commerce office at 7:30 p.m. DURING THE 5 years past the district has got no closer than 43rd place from the top where money was being allocated. Here is the score) 50th place in 1946-47; 75th in 1947-48; 66th in 1949-50; 56th in 1950-51 and 43rd in 1951-52. Seven persons named to a citizen's committee studied the problems surrounding getting support of the district and released a recommendation in April declaring the need of a district hospital and urged full community support.

The Rev. Herbert C. Gans, who headed that committee, has blamed lack of unified community support when the district failed to get funds 2 months ago in a radio address. In a meeting similar to the one scheduled for Friday, held early in November, the Advisory Board of the State Department of Public Health which recommends the allocation of funds came up for some criticism on methods of allocation by Russell Feliz, president of the District Board of Directors. By Staff Correspondent PETALUMA A meeting to ftudy problems surrounding the Petaluma Hospital District will be held Friday night.

The meeting has been called to resume discussions in the light of a report which will be made by Russell "Bud" Feliz, president of the district's board of directors, who attended a conference of the California Association of Hospital Districts at Coronado Nov. 27. The meeting hSs been called by Otto Berger, one of the members of the Citizen's Committee and co-chairman of tbe Chamber of Commerce Civic Affairs Commitjtee, who said that it is important for the community as a whole to decide as soon'- as possible if the hospital is needed here. Since its formation in 1946, the District has applied 5 times for state and federal funds under the Hill-Burton Act which provides that money can be allocated 13 each from the state, federal government and district for construction.

Swigart's By JOYCE BARKLEY Staff Correspondent Phone 2158 FORT BRAGG Persons claiming unemployment insurance benefits during the coming months will equal and may surpass those of 1950, is the prediction ofnhe Labor Market Bulletin issued by the California Department of Employment for this area for November. A steady decline in job opportunities in the sawmill as well as in the logging industry is expected due to weather conditions, the report continues. Several sawmills have returned to a single shift, but despite this job prospects for skilled sawmill workers seem good. Many logging firms will dis continue operations for the entire winter season once the bad weather begins. The employment picture is not unfavorable.

People who are being laid off in these industries are finding work in other fields. The surplus of fallers and buck-ers during the past few months has eased. Unemployed workers in this category have almost disappeared from this area. A good demand for clerical and skilled male workers exists, but there are no shortages affecting production with any firms. THE ANNUAL Junior Red Cross drive will close Dec.

15. It started officially Saturday. Mrs. Florence Doidge, Junior Red Cross chairman for the Mendocino Coast area said that she would have Red Cross materials available in all the coast schools this week. In Fort Bragg the drive is going good, she added.

Mrs. Doidge is attendance officer for the Fort Bragg schools.

CARL ANDERSON Staff Correspondent Phone 105-J CLOVERDALE Everything seems to happen at once. I wish I could be in 2 places at the same time. Or that Cloverdale could schedule its attractions with less overlapping. This afternoon, because the Parent Teacher Association postponed its meeting one week, I can attend the all-church bazaar for the renovation of the Congregation al Church.

I've been told that the Community Club, whose project the bazaar has been for years, concentrated this year on some very attractive aprons, while the members of the Circle younger married women's society of the church, went all-out on children's wear, so I'm Hoping to ac- Christm a shopping. If the cooked food sale is as good as in previous years, I shall be able to bring home something tasty for the fam- ily's dinner, 0 and spend the mrs. Anderson time I shall save from cooking having a cup of tea while the girls see the moving pictures David Valentine is going to show. What I'd really like to do is stay on for the New England Supper (baked beans, cole slaw and pumpkin pie) which Hulda Gummer's committee 'will serve from 6 to 8 p.m. but that would be too close timing to cover the meeting of the City Council at 8.

EN to Chenault Field, 111., is Pfc. Ben Cimoli, who paid a hasty visit to his parents, Mr.

His squadron received the presidential citation for meritorius performance of duty recently. We're still chuckling over Ben's description of his fast week end, when he was one of a crew of 13 sent from Travis Air Base to Tampa to replace a plane.

The trip, in a B-29, at 24,000 feet, took 10 hours from Fairfield to Tampa, 12 hours to return. Cloverdale's week end storm was well observed locally, according to George Shanahan, owner of the Garden Motel, and official observer for the United States Weather Bureau. W. O. Siedentoff and H.

Engelbrecht, supervisors from the district office in San Francisco, made their local check on the rainiest day this year. There's no exaggeration in Mr. Shanahan's report of 2 inches rainfall between 5 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday.
