The daily total turned In by captains was However, Kenneth W. Dyal, general chairman of the drive, said yesterday's results could not be termed the "final reports," because a large section of the county and a great many of the solictors had not been reached, nor their totals secured.

In enumerating the various territories not reporting, Mr. Dyal said that Highland, which is included in the city chest drive, had not reported, nor was soliciting completed. The same is true of the residential section, headed by Mrs. Judd Payne. Patton is another territory where cards are still circulating, and many companies, such as the Santa Fe, have not completed reports.

The speaker of the day, the Rev. George A. Boss, pastor of St. Stephen's Methodist church, was introduced by Dr. John A.

Previous to opening th signal bids, the council decided to meet today at 1:30 p.m. to determins procedure on the three bids opened last Monday on the construction of two culverts on Highland and the widening of Sierra way north 400 feet from Highland. LICENSE INADEQUATE It was brought out that J. E. Roberts, the low bidder on thii job, holds a state license to contract for grading, excavating, paving and surfacing, but that his license does not cover construction of concrete culverts.

Mr. Roberts asked the council to reject all bids, allowing him time to obtain a license covering this type of construction. The council will decide whether to reject the bids or award the contract to the next lowest bidder, which was Georg Herz at $55,500. Mr. Roberts' proposal was $54,902.

Both the signal project and the culverts and widening job are actually one project. The signal bids were taken under advisement. BIDS LISTED Other bidders on the signals were: Drury Electric Econolite Corp. of Los Angeles, C. E.

The bullet lodged in his thigh. The fire, which Fire Chief D. E. Littleton said apparently start ed in a storage room in the rear of the building, almost totally de stroyed the cafe, owned by Blainey V. Hernandez, 837 Eighth street.

A small house directly to the west of the restaurant, owned by Crispin M. Luna and occupied by Mrs. Franes Valenzuela, was badly damaged by the flames. Prompt action by the city department and the Santa Fe railroad's department, under the direction of Chief L. E.

Moody, was credited with preventing the fire from spreading to a thickly populated area and the nearby Santa Fe yards. Swift action by the department was again credited with saving the Rialto avenue court from complete destruction and saving nearby structures. Corrugated iron sid ing on a new building next door to the court was damaged by the heat of the flames, Chief Littleton reported. The owner of the court had not been identified late yesterday by the fire department. In a third fire, the home of Mr.

and Mrs. David Deem, 4190 Fourth avenue, was destroyed by flames which started after the house had been blown to the ground by the winds. Mr. Deem received a slight leg injury, while his wife and two children escaped injury. The fire started about 4:30 a.m.

The Deems' car also was destroyed. State division of forestry crews were called to the fire. VENETIAN BUND LAUNDRY SERVICE Arrowhead Venetian Blind 2608 Arrowhead Phoni 2-5305 MT.

"Pictures in Porcelaina" will express the delicacy of Claude Debussy's music more than any form of the arts. The animated porce-laine dance pictures will feature Eileen Locklin and Jerry Curry in a "menuette" and Lois Ellyn and Joey Harris in a ballet. Mme Slavenska will appear with Jon Andrews in the "Cake Walk." OLD WEST DEPICTED New to the stage and ready for fresh appraisals will be "Settler's Sunday," a glimpse of old west with music by Harold Byrns. The overture will feature the lovers, Mia Slavenska and Peter Nelson, arriving for the Sunday church services, where they dance a tender duet, interrupted by the arrival of a cowboy, Joey Harris, a show-off and the life-of-the-par-ty type. The sheriff, Jerry Curry, follows with the two gossiping maiden aunts, Ann Barney and Dolores Delson.

A ranch couple, Jon Andrews and Lois Ellyn, ar rives with its spoiled child, Eileen Locklin. A square dance unites the group and all take turns in solos, show- ing their special skills. The child breaks into the dance in fits of bad temper and the shadows begin to fall and the tired dancers take leave. To this simple story, Harold Bvrns has composed a modern musical treatment of old Amerl can tunes, and a modern chore trranhic interpretation of old American characters and square dances has been set by Mme. Sla venska.

Special piano arrangements featuring Mme. Slavenska's duo- i pianist artists will be provided by Henrietta Pelta and Joseph Bar-jish. I Co-chairmen of the concert sea-son in charge of memberships and Mrs. Seymour L. Schweit-izer and Mrs.

The production will be enthusiastically received by an audience which has awaited a ballet for. many seasons.

Mme. Slavenska's programs for her present tour, which began in San Diego Sunday night, include works based on the music of Tschaikowsky, Debussy, Cesar Franck and Delibes, folk dances of her native Balkans, and a new suite of American folk dances. i Serving as the choregrapher and costume designer of her own company in most instances, Mme. Slavenska is one of the few great ballet stars who can claim this dual talent. NEW BALLET TALENT The opening portion of the program will include a choregraphic interpretation of the musical patterns of Franck's "Symphonic Variations." A host of fresh talent will make its debut Eileen Lock-lin, Peter Nelson, Jerry Curry, Jon Andrews, Ann Barney, Dolores Delson, Lois Eljyn and Joey Harris.

"Ballet Divertissements" and "Spirituals" will be offered during Part II. Only in this portion of the program will the arrangements and costume designing be credited to someone other than Mme. Slavenska. Anton Dolin did the former work and the designing of costumes was under the direction of Ric Marlin. Mme.

Slavenska will make her initial appearance as the curtain arises on "Ballet Divertissements" in a Rose Adagio number. Peter Nelson, Jon Andrews, Jerry Curry and Joey Harrie will lend the star support. Eileen Locklin and Lois Ellyn will offer two variation numbers and then appear with Peter Nelson in a "Pas de Trois." Mme. Slavenska and Joey Harris will appear again in the "Grand Pas de Deux." The first four divertissements are from "Aurora's Wedding," from the ballet "The Sleeping Beauty" in its original form. The "Grand Pas de Deux" is from the "Black Swan" act of the ballet "Swan Lake." From a technical standpoint, it is considered the most difficult of its type, including 32 fouettes for the ballerina.

TRADITIONAL MUSIC The music will be traditional for the "Spirituals" and will feature costumes by DuPont and arrangements of Tihmar. The cast will be comprised of Miles. Ellyn and Barney, and Joey Harris. A bit of Americana from the South, this number depicls the contrast, and sometimes merging of the light, hearted, care-free gaiety of the people with the daily struggle of toll and weariness. Alexander Glazounov's music will highlight the Salome number, which concludes Part II.

Mme. Slavenska will portray Salome, princess of Judoa. This dance was Loma Linda Boy 6, Claimed by Rare Intestinal Ailment Larry Bruce Bliss, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Loyal Bliss of Loma Linda, died Sunday night at White Memorial hospital in Los Angeles from a rare disorder of the lower intestine, according to hospital authorities.

School Crossing Guard Asked of City Council San Bernardino traffic safety commission yesterday asked the city council for a school crossing guard at the Highland and Sepul-veda avenues intersection. The request, was referred to Chief of Police William D. Gilchrist for investigation. two years yestdrday swept out of the north over San Bernardino valley, leaving in its wake damaged buildings, uprooted trees, broken branches, disrupted power and light service and impeded traffic. Lines of both the California Electric Power Co.

and the South ern California Edison Co. were torn down in nearly every section of the valley. Every available crew was out repairing facilities. Both companies expected to have all damage repaired by this morning, however. In spite of the number of wires down, the companies reported that service to most consumers was disrupted only briefly.

The only sizeable area without power for an appreciable length of time was said to be the country club district in north San Bernardino. HIGH WIND VELOCITY Wind velocity was clocked at 40 m.p.h. by the weather unit at the San Bernardino Air Force base at the height of the storm with gusts ranging up to 60 miles per hour. The velocity later subsided to 30 miles at mid-morning with gusts hitting 40. Trees were uprooted in many parts of the valley, and innumerable branches and palm fronds were blown off, clogging city streets and county roads.

All roads in the county remained open, although short de- Warning Issued State Forest Ranger W. W. Skinner has asked all people in this area to be extremely cautious during the present period of high winds and low humidity. Winds of 35 mile an hour velocity are expected to continue today, he said, and at the latest reading humidity registered zero. He also requested that people refrain from burning trash or starting brush fires to clear land.

tours around fallen trees which blocked roads were necessary in many sections. Fallen limbs and branches and air-borne dust and sand in the west end slowed up traffic, the California highway patrol reported. Park Superintendent Jerry L. Myers said crews from his depart ment and the street department worked at top speed to clear up the fallen limbs and other debris littering the streets. He asked patience from residents, explaining that cleanup crews are overwhelmed and will complete the job as quickly as possible.

FRUIT SCARRED Scarring and puncturing of fruit in some citrus orchards was reported and the wind velocity also caused defoliating in some areas, particularly where windbreaks were inadequate. Short circuits in power lines caused several small fires in various parts of the valley but they were quickly controlled, the San Bernardino state forestry station and U. S. forest service dispatcher reported. At least three serious fires in San Bernardino were fanned by the high winds, making it more difficult for firemen to bring them under control.

Two tankers and supervisory personnel from the state forestry station were dispatched to Orange county early yesterday morning to assist in fighting a major blaze which got out of control. Two six-by-eight foot plate glass windows were blown from the front of the Stater Bros. market, Highland avenue and Massachusetts street, police reported. The interior of the store received minor damage. At the San Bernardino airport, north of Little Mountain, two planes broke loose from their moorings and were damaged.

The heavy wind blew in doors on one hanger, damaging four planes inside. Four planes were broken loose at Font ana airport and three of them were damaged. Keith High-ley, airport owner, said some corrugated aluminum siding was ripped off hangars by strong gusts of wind. Gurr Will Make Official Visit to Home Club Clarence L.

The new boundaries of the dis trict, which is located to the southeast of the present improvements, are smaller through the elimination of the Brown estate. Inclusion of the estate in the dis trict was protested at a previous hearing held by the board, and the supervisors announced their in tention to exclude this tract from the district. Bids for the work in this dis trict will not be advertised until next spring, members of the board agreed. Bids for work on district three will also be advertised next spring.

Sewers have already been in stalled in district one, while for mation of district two has been ordered abandoned.
