Gordon Matson, who runs an auto glass and paint Shop on Park St, Alameda, explains; Customer H. O. Manus of, 1616 -Santa Clara Ave. needed a new winc(shiekb But; he also needed his car to drive to work at Alameda Naval Air Station. Simple, offered Matson, you take my car for the day, even though this means I'll have to open up shop at 7:15 a.m.

Anything for my customers, for they are always right. And nearly always pay cash, And so, as they say in the original story of the Good Samaritan, it came to pass. But Manus, driving off in Matson's car, forgot to take his lunch box. So Matson the Good Joe slipped into his workday overalls, took the wheel of Manus' car, and roared down Santa Clara in pursuit. Pursuit it was.

Matson closed the gap, flashing past 25 m.p.h. signs like ihey weren't there, and finally drew up behind the heavy-footed Manus. That's where the speed cop came in, stopping Matson. He heard Matson's story about the lunch, the explanation about his license in his pants inHhe shop, his reasons for driving a car registered to someone else.

A report on the progress the city has made since the residents of five rural communities voted 3,488 to 1,853 to join under one common government, last Jan. 10, has made history in the an nals of municipalities of this country, and say, in the world.

It is partly for this reason that the new city has been able to attract as its first official lead ers men whose outstanding abili ties are known nationally. "A chance tp get in on the ground floor in such a unique situation, to establish new procedures in city government, to test new ideas, is a challenge too exciting to resist," is. the consensus expressed by Fremont executives as reasons for accepting the positions offered by the city council.

E. E. Manning. of to How did Russ Reed take that wonderful picture of lightning in the sky over Gregory Gardens last Thursday? several camera-aiming readers have asked. "It's simple;" says Russ.

"The lightning takes its own picture, in effect. "I placed the camera on a chair, aimed it at the sky, set it on infinity with an f.8 aperture and gave it a three-minute time exposure, using Royal Pan film," he said. "In that time there were four lightning flashes caught on the same negative." The same technique with allowances made for the film speed ratings-can be used by anyone whose camera permits time exposures. It's best to use a tripod to keep the camera steady. All you need now is more lightning.

Howell. The mayor has two weeks to digest the thing before holding city council budget sessions.
