SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1932 AGE FTVE ON 1.5. APPROVES 11 OPENS cm APPROVES Christmas Gift Problem Simplified for Women Dr. Gettell to Speak at World Affairs Meeting 300 I 5 5 1 WOMAN CAN HIISTS wi I 11 The Christmas gift problem is simpler than ever this year. For the woman who buys all her presents the stores are filled with new and novel things suitable to give any member of the family or friend. Or for the woman who wants to make a few remembrances for close friends there are plenty of materials that may be purchased and made Into presents easily.

The gift-makers apparently have given extra thought this year to the home-made present. Petit-point embroidery is engaging many women this year. Most of the embroiderers are giving their friends seat and foot-stool covers for chairs which they have stolen in to measure at odd times. These gifts are easy to make since the stores have hundreds of patterns, some of them with the central figure the hardest work done. The background could be finished even in the short time left.

One woman Is covering 48 ordinary match boxes with bright paper. All it takes is the paper, match boxes, a glue-pot and some patience. Measure the box, and with a pencil and ruler lay out all the pieces of paper that will be needed. Then cut them and paste them on. The boxes add an attractive touch to the bridge table of the lucky person who receives such a gift.

The young woman who does a good deal of entertaining may be happy to receive a maline bag to hang on her dressing table, filled with tiny powder puffs made of cotton tied with bright ribbons. And her guests will like using them. The fortunate woman who can turn delicious fruit cakes out of her oven should be busy right now, particularly if she has any hurried apartment house dwellers on her list. It's a simple matter to buy the ingredients and make the cakes which last for months. Then there are always hooked rugs.

Dozens of women are busily "punching" away at burlap these last few weeks in order to give away these bright, soft rugs. And this year they are not content with just making a hooked rug. They are making raised flower and leaf patterns. Burlap stamped with patterns and yarn can be purchased readily for the rugs. Of course, there will always be Dr.

Raymond G. Gettell political science professor of the University of California, who will speak at junior college world affairs lecture course. junior college, so as to arrive not later than Dec. 10. Much Interest is being shown in Dr.

Gettell's appearance locally, as he Is one of the most distinguished members of the faculty of the Uni versity of California, and is widely known through his various publica tions in the field of political science. He will deal with a subject of great importance at this time, especially in view of the recent negotiations of various European powers on the matter of war debts. Mr. uetteil will speak at noon on Dec. 13 at the San Bernardino Rotary club under the auspices of tne international relations committee, of which Wilmer N.

Glasscock Is chairman. ri Dr. Raymond G. Gettell, who will lecture in San Bernardino on Tuesday night, Dec. 13, will be welcomed to the valley by a dinner given in his honor by alumni of the University of California, according to J.

The lecture, President Griffing announced, will be open to the public without charge, as a part of the San Bernardino junior college extension program in world affairs.

Reservations should be sent to Dr. Tempe E. Allison, in care of the Number of Animals In Forests Drops Further decrease in the number of horses and cattle grazing on lands of the San Bernardino national forest, took place during the past year, a survey compiled by Assistant Supervisor John S.

Ever-itt shows. Heavy recreational demands within the foreBt are continually crowding out available grazing land, Mr. Everitt said, with the result that the number of animals is decreasing each year. During 1932, cattle and horses have been pastured on Government land, compared with 1,777 in 1931 and 2,100 In 1930. Most of the animals are In the Lake Arrowhead district, the report shows, with 711 found there, 575 near Big Bear, 339 in San Jacinto, 30 in Mill Creek and 17 In Cajon.

SEWAGE PLANT SHE PROPOSED Move Suggested by Seccomle as Step to Escape Taxes Levied By County on Tract San Bernardino will probably annex its sewage treatment plant property on South Street as a means of escaping taxes on the 50-acre tract, according to Councilman Ormonde W. Seccombe, who is acting mayor during the illness of Mayor I. N. Gilbert.

The importance of bringing the tract into the city was disclosed when Acting Mayor Seccombe announced that the municipality was called upon yesterday to pay its first taxes on the sewer plant land. The property was taxed at $138.32. First Tax Bill Presented To City Although the city purchased the South street land in 1928, at a price of $28,062, no taxes were levied until this year, according to City Engineer A. H. Lowe, who is superintendent of the sewer works.

Mr. Seconibe explained that if the land Is brought into the city it will automatically become exempt from taxation. "We have been successful in removing the widely scattered Water department lands from tax levy, by means of annexation, and I will start the necessary action to gain the same immunity for the city's sewage treatment plant site," Mr. Seccombe said. Suburban lands of the water de partment have all been brought Into the city by means of so-called "shoe string" annexations, that extend narrow stripes of incorporated area out to the nearest points of the outlying lands, that are then annexed The Antll plant on East Sixth street, Perns Hill plant on Highland ave nue, Waterman canyon and East Twin Creek canyon flood control and1 conservation project, and the Newmark and Devil canyon works are examples of this type of annexation.

Sewage Plant Site Near Show Grounds The sewer woiks property is situated a short distance south of the Orange Show grounds, that extend to the corner of Mill and streets, and lies along the east bank of Warm creek. The tax bill paid yesterday included $103.40 and $31.02 as levies on the 40-acre1 tract and the 9.5-acre tract that form the city-owned1 land, and a special levy of $3.90 for the new San Bernardino Valley Water Protective district. City Woman Hurt In Redlands Crash Miss Ethel Jones of 1043 Arrowhead avenue, is being treated at St. Bernardine's hospital for injuries suffered in an automobile accident in Redlands Monday night. She suffered cuts and bruises.

Miss Jones is being treated by Dr. Phillip M. Savage. Sidney Stewart of Redlands, who occupied the machine with Miss Jones, suffered severe cuts and bruises about the head and face. He was treated at Redlands.

25c FINAL PLEA TO Man Who Killer RanrLburg Mine Official Carries His Appeal to Supreme Court Final efforts were launched yesterday to save John C.

Out Sale STREET Buy For Less" WOULD ASPSKunHc'' JZZjLf Ch RECCWNb Vougl HWD MADE Use of Warning Instead of Stop Rule, Urged by Zoning Board, Will Be Attempted The first of the new "caution" signs proposed by the planning commission as a substitute for boulevard stop signals at secondary intersections, will be installed along Arrowhead avenue this month, according to Acting Mayor Ormonde W.

Seccombe. Instructions have been issued to C. E. Showalter, city superintendent of streets and parks, to experiment with the plan board's idea at the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth street intersections of Arrowhead avenue. According to Secretary A.

H. Lowe it Is the idea of the planning commission that too general use of boulevard stop signs is depriving them of their effectiveness at hazardous corners. Stop Regulations Slow Up Traffic Use of "stop" signals often slows up traffic without affording any important protection to motorists or pedestrians, depriving the motorist of the right to avail himself of an opportunity for safe crossing of a main thoroughfare during a lull in traffic across his path, Mr. Lowe explained. Without the enforced halts, the driver can cross most of the main streets and avenues without hazard, except at a few major intersections, Mr.

Lowe said. Uncter the new scheme use of the "stop" signs, that are backed by state laws, would be reserved for a carefully selected number of heavily traveled intersections. They would then be highly effective, because of the limited number of protected intersections, the plan board claims. Paint Warnings on Street Pavement Instead of the familiar diamoncr-shnped "stop" signs on their black and white posts, large signs will be painted in white on the pavement, on each side of Arrowhead avenue, at the four Intersections selected for the experiment. The wording will be some such phrase as "Cautionarterial street," or "Slow-boulevard," Mr.

Seccombe said in announcing the experiment to be undertaken. Should the plan of limiting use of boulevard stop signals prove practical, it will probably be applied to protect a number of the secondary intersections of the city. Designation of locations for "stops" is a plan board responsibility, but the mayor and council reserve the actual right to order installations. College Glee Clubs To Present Program The combined men and women's glee clubs of San Bernardino Junior college will present a program of Christmas music in the college social hall Friday night, it was announced yesterday by J.
