The Supervisors of this county were challenged today by Dr. R. C. Main, county health officer, to improve housing conditions for residents in the lower-income brackets, with particular attention asked for ranch hands, cowboys and their families. The health officer declared that the responsibility was the Supervisors' and the District Attorney's.

SICKNESS DEPLORED He asserted that sickness brought poverty and low living standards which in turn brought more sickness. This, Main said, set up a vicious circle that has been continuing for years. He demanded answers to seven questions: "Shall we have new laws or ordinances prescribing the type of dwelling suitable for humans? Can we prohibit families from occupying unsuitable habitations? Can we prohibit ranch owners from renting houses or keeping their hired help in quarters lacking sanitary facilities and incapable of being kept clean? OVERCROWDING CITED "Can we prohibit overcrowding in homes? If such prohibitions are desirable, can they be forced in Santa Barbara county? "Is Santa Barbara county ready to enact a housing ordinance like that in Los Angeles county or that of San Diego county? Shall we throw up our hands and admit that we are regents of the University of Cali P. A.

(IP) A matter-of-fact police officer called off a widespread search today in the jungle-like underbrush of the Santa Ana River for John Guer-rera, 21 years of age, reported "missing" by his relatives.

Desk Sergeant Jack Hout found Gucrrera in the County Jail. He had been held, overnight on a charge of shooting pheasants out of season. Police and scores of others had joined the hunt. It's a nice gesture on the part of U.C.L.A. and U.S.C.

to decide to bronze the football used in the 7-7 tie game Thanksgiving Day and each team keep possession of it for a year when it wins a game, starting in 1937. But what's going to keep a civil war from breaking out over who gets to keep it until the 1937 game? THE BIG MOMENT Most dramatic moment of the whole game was the performance of Chavoor, the U.C.L.A. center, when he was hurt in the second quarter. There he was, out on his feet, his arm hanging limp at his side, and shaking his head trying to clear the fog away. Coach Spaulding sent out a substitute.

Chavoor pushed him away and staggered over into position. The substitute looked undecided, finally went off the field. It was U.S.C.'s ball. Signals were called. Somebody fumbled.

The ball slithered across the field. Chavoor, groggy and stumbling, saw it coming. Down he went, half falling find half throwing himself. Down on his bad arm he plunged with the ball underneath him. Players piled on, scrambling and grabbing.

But when they dug down to the bottom of the pile there was Chavoor and the ball! They had to lead him off the field then, and he was groggier than ever. I don't believe he really knew what was going on all that play. It was just instinct and cour- Age-But it was the spark U.C.L.A. needed. It plunged right on to a touchdown.

That's football MODERN MOXROVIANS Mayor George Williams and a lot of other Monrovians are going around in straw hats these days, in defiance of tradition, the calendar and Santa Claus. It isn't a bad idea, at that. Suppose all the residents of Arcadia, Monrovia, Sierra Ma-dre, San Marino and Pasadena wore straw hats during the Santa Anita racing season. It would make a wonderful Impression on eastern tourists and put Florida in its place (That is, if it doesn't happen to be so cold that everybody's ears look like red, red roses underneath the straw.) THE AXEMIC SCOUNDREL! Some unspeakable thief up in Tujunga the other night stole several bottles of cod liver oil from a drug store. Well, one thing is sure.

If he attempts to use it himself the punishment will be more than the police could give him. Ugh! HE DENIED IT Carroll W. rarcher, publisher of the Tujunga Record-Ledger and a Republican stalwart, is rather agog over getting an invitafion from Heap Big Democrat Ray E. Sparks of Los Angeles hailing him as 'one of California's outstanding Democrats." Mr. Parcher is somewhat relieved to note, though, that the invitation to John Steven Mc-Groarty was made out to "James Steven McGroarlty," fo he thinks maybe none of the Bourbon invitation -senders know what it's all about.
