Machine Gives Futuristic Touch to Library System Bids Received on City Creek Link New Road to Connect Base Line and Orange A bid of $401,951 by Matich Bros, of Colton and E. L. Yeager of Riverside was low on a project to construct a 1.6 mile road connecting East Base Line and Orange streets, the state division of highways announced yesterday in Los Angeles. The only other bid received was for $478,068 by R. A.

Erwin of Colton. The bids are now being considered by the highway division. The proposed road will link Rcdlands with the City Creek road into the San Bernardino mountains which is now under construction and will also provide a more convenient route to Red-lands for San Bernardino traffic. The highway will be two lanes with eight-foot paved shoulders and. refinforccd concrete slab bridRcs over City and Plunge creeks.

Four-lane divided -inter soct ions will be constructed at the East Third-Orange and East Base Line-Boulder avenue corners i Taking out a book from the San Bernardino public library these days amounts to nothing more than a brief pause before a gadget, flashing a card, waiting for a dull click, and going out the door with all the books you can carry. This modern convenience, permitting more time to look at the books by reducing the red tape of obtaining them, is made possible by the Recordak, which records a serial number on microfilm no fuss, no haggling, no shuffling of cards and fishing for a pencil-just a faint 'z-z-z-z-z" for about three seconds. San Bernardino's library, a national pioneer in Ruch things, has had an electric card recording ma chine for 15 years, according to Msw RpIIo Kpllnpc ritv librarian.

Stocker's forgery detail, yesterday announced the development of a criminal warning system. Officers James M. Holloway and Robert I.

Graefe developed th system as a public service and an aid in crime prevention. WARN MERCHANT8 Its primary purpose will be to warn merchants of the presence of a criminal check passer or forger whom the sheriff! office: knows to be active In the vicinity of the City of San Bernardino, but it may also be used to warn businessmen of other criminal activities such as shoplifting, burglariet and holdups. Briefly, the warning system works like a chain letter. The sheriff's office calls the Bank of America, American National bank and Cltizena National Trust Savings bank. The three banks te turn each call two business houses.

The latter each calls two placet, and so on, until 84 establishments strategically located throughout the city have been notified. ALL MUST COOPERATEI "Since the failure of one member of this system seriously interferes with the desired results," Sheriff Stocker said, "it Is imperative that each business carry out its part of the warning without fall. "Often our office receives information of the activities of a forger or check passer, and this system will enable us to disseminate the information quickly to all parts of the city before loss can be suffered."

Boy Collapses On Train, Dies A 10-year-old boy died at 5:15 p.m. yesterday at the San Bernardino County hospital, after having collapsed on the Southern Pacific's east-bound Golden State Limited in Colton two hours earlier.

The boy, Merel Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brown of Chicago, is believed by County hospital physicians to have died from injuries received in a fall at a Los Angeles playground Tuesday. According to Deputy Coroner F. W.

Krekel, who investigated for Coroner R. E. Williams, Merel and his mother had been visiting with relatives in Los Angeles. On Tuesday the boy went to a playground and, while playing with a group of youngsters there, leaped over a hurdle and tripped and fell heavily on an iron stake against which horseshoes were being pitched. He was rushed to a physician who assured Mrs.

Brown that there were no evidences of internal injury and that the boy was suffering only from shock, Mr. Krekel said. With this assurance, Mrs. Brown left Los Angeles with Merel aboard the Golden State Limited at 1:30 p.m. yesterday, in accordance with previously made plans for return to Chicago.

During the trip, the boy became violently ill and collapsed as the train neared Colton. He was taken from the train at 2:55 p.m. and rushed to the County hospital, where he died three hours later. What's Doing a.m. Christian Businessmen's committee, Cafe Madrid.
