G. Stearns, who figures prominently in early fruit industries of Redlands and Highland, will be RAEFICGOURT IN COLTON BUSY SEVERAL HELD AFTER BRAWLS Eliwanda Notes I SUILD NG SETS QUICKER PICE Pulling in the city boundary so that a small portion of southeastern Redlands would become county territory was suggested last night as a means of getting immediate ptate improvement of the city's portion of Highway 99 V. C. Collett, member of the city planning commission, mentioned the project to his board. He quoted E.

Q. Sullivan, district highway engineer, and Justus Cracmer, assistant state director of public works, as having said that the state would proceed promptly to improve the road if the abbut-ting property were not in the city, SAYS IDEA FEASIBLE The planning commission took no action but members said they considered the plan feasible. Collett said that the city might vote out the section southeast of Oak street, giving back to the county an area stretching along Highway 99 as far south as Crystal Springs. He said less than two miles would be involved. "Only a few residents would be involved and they should be pleased with the idea," said Collett.

"The county area would press in toward the city to include the home of H. H. Ford Jr. and other property up to Sunset drive. PARKS ARE TALKED "The state is not disposed to hasten the Highway 99 construction southeast of Redlands so long as it is up to the city to initiate the improvement.

We have assurance that the work would start promptly if it were not city territory." Commissioners agreed that the city would lose slightly in tax revenues from the property. The area is largely vacant land, with several groves. The commission gave its attention to proposed sites for a new westside park and plunge, but deferred action because the scheme had not matured sufficiently. Councilman Charles A. Maccub-bin said that the House of Neighborly Service would like to have the proposed new plunge adjoin its Lawton street property and that the east end of city-owned land occupied by the municipal barns on Stuart avenue also had been proposed.

Colton avenuo has a site now occupied by an orange grove, he said. Isaac Ford contended that city property bordering Central avenue, west of Texas street, could bn used if attractive plantings could be arranged to screen the park from nearby residences. MAY REOPEN HEIGHTS Ford reported "splendid progress" by a committee considering plans lor reopening of Smiley Heights to the public but said the committee was not ready for a final report. Nothing more can be done toward establishment of a new city park near the Country club until the return from Ohio of L. B.

Boyd, said Chairman E. A. Moore. "The Redlands Heights Water Co. is willing to give the city its share of the site," said Mr.

Moore, "but Mr. Boyd does not seem so anxious to give his land as appeared when the city agreed to take it." ASKS SIGN ORDINANCE Ford suggested a new ordinance to regulate business signs in the downtown area, which would encourage the installation of vertical signs instead of horizontal ones stretching across the sidewalks. Frank D. Miller was given permission to remove two pepper trees on Ridge street and Dushane Hyn-pon was given the right to erect lath house at 914 West Highland avenue, with the council retaining the right to rescind the permit at any time, Ask Council to Refer Projects Redlands city planning commission last night asked to be considered by the council in connection with any highway signs or park entrances that are planned by the city. Members of the board expressed opposition to a proposed stone arch at the Church street entrance to Sylvan park and also feared that a sign proposed for the eastern entrance to Redlands on Highway might not be suitable.

The council had considered both as new WPA projects. Bert Ebys Welcome TheirJFirst Child A daughter was born at the Redlands Community hospital Sunday morning to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Eby of 710 West I street, Colton. The baby is the first in the family.

Major and minor accidents ran all the way from airplane and automobile crashes to stabbing cases. Colton friends were anxious yesterday about the condition of Cur-tin (Bud) Roach and Robert Doty, who were injured in an airplane accident Sunday morning in which Mrs. Roach was killed. Latest reports from Loma Linda hospital, where the survivors are patients, was that Roach, who was feared dying, showed slight signs of improvement.

While seriously injured, Doty was given a good chance to recover. Stabbed twice on the left side just over his heart, one cut going into his lung, Antonio Chaves of 510 West street, Colton, was reported to be in fair condition at the Ramona hospital, where he was rushed by Dr. Irvin S. Miller. HELD IN JAIL According to the report made to police, Cayetano Calderilla of 240 West street, Colton, stabbed Chaves at the Santa Fe track crossing at about 7 p.

m. Sunday. Limoteo Raso and Daniel Calderilla of Colton were witnesses. Officers Harvey Hubbs and George Miner investigated and reported that no cause was given for the fight. Calderilla is being held in jail pending the recovery of Chaves.

It will be at least three days before his condition can be determined. Late Sunday evening Dr. Miller treated Mr. and Mrs. J.

W. Cozart of Rancho avenue and Mrs. Co- zart's mother, Mrs. Lucile Swisher, for concussions of the brain. The three were returning from a Sunday mountain trip when they were struck by another car on Foothill boulevard.

Mrs. Cozart suffered a severe concussion, a broken nose and face and head lacerations. Mrs. Swisher Tilso suffered a severe concussion and Mr. Cozart had a slight concussion.

Mrs. Jean Sarah Grayson, 26 years old, of Indio, died at 8:45 last night in the Redlands Community hospital. Hers was the third death attributed to Sunday's terrific automobile crash near Casa Blanca on the Yu-caipa-Oakglen highway. Her skull fractured, Mrs. Grayson never recovered consciousness.

With two dead and a third gravely injured as the result of the Yucaipa valley's worst automobile wreck in years, authorities yesterday reconstructed Sunday's crah near Casa Blanca on the Yucaipa-Oakglen highway. As they wound up their investigation of the accident, county officials indicated that there would be no inquest. MANAGER OF STORE The body of Lawrence (Larry) Carlson, 29 years old, was prepared for shipment to Indio. The body of Ellsworth (Bud) Grayson was held at the F. Arthur Cortner mortuary while the family awaited the outcome of his wife's fight for life at the Redlands Community hospital.

Grayson, 30 years old, was the Indio manager for Allbright's auto motive supply firm and was well known to employes of the All- bright store in Redlands. Grayson formerly was worked with the Red-lands men in the company's Riverside store and for several years previously had been a clerk for the Riverside Motor Supply Co, ONLY ONE WITNESS The tragedy occurred while Grayson was driving his midget sedan home from an Allbright company picnic at Oakglen. The sole eye witness, according to Constable Clyde F. Glasgow, of Yucaipa, was Chick Erady, an All-bright employe of Riverside. Brady was following Grayson's machine in another car.

MECHANISM BLAMED. Examination of the wrecked ma chine yesterday led to the conclu sion that a sudden fault in the mechanism caused the fatal crash. As Grayson sped westward down the Oakglen grade, the rear axle shifted on the spring, it was believed, causing the drive shaft to buckle. The rear wheels "froze," causing the little automobile to skid for nearly 200 feet, then bounce over an embankement into a rock-strewn field, where it rolled some 300 feet. Mrs.

Jean Sarah Grayson, 26 years old, remained in a critical condition at the Community hospital yesterday. She had not recovered consciousness since the crasA, although an operation had been performed in an attempt to relieve the pressure on her brain caused by a skull fracture. Her condition had improved slightly during the afternoon, it was said. Mrs. Mollie Tatman Is Honored Guest At Picnic in Colton A farewell visit with Mrs.

Porter who are said to have shipped the first car of oranges from California, employed him in their packing business.

After one year with them, he transferred to the Johnston lemon packing house, the present I. L. Lyon Sons house. This firm planned to pack all lemons grown in the Redlands-Highland district.

He was instrumental in installing the Highland domestic water system. Next he went to the California Fruit association. However, E. M. Lyon and other packers in this district induced him to manage for several years a hfmber mill to produce box shook in northern California.

The venture was not a suc cess, and Mr. Stearns returned to Southern California. IN TOMATO BUSINESS The tomato growing and packing business in Mexico and Arizona was then flourishing. Entering that trade, he prospered until the United States enacted a prohibiting tariff. He signed a contract with Wells Fargo company granting it exclusive right to export Mexican tomatoes.

Those who have been following her adventures during the past two weeks as she expertly guided these social columns in their perilous course will be interested to learn that the young woman's most recent adventures was being marooned on the high seas. It all happened Sunday when the Burrises and friends cruised over to Catalina island where Mrs. Burris was to recuperate.

All went well until the return trip. Then, it seems, the skipper wandered a bit from his course, or the boat grew temperamental and developed a sudden yearning for the solitude of the high seas; at any rate, the party finally landed back at Catalina, whence it had departed hours before and the recent society editor came creeping home in the gray hours of the dawn.
