Davis, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and at that time the director general of the order.

After being driven west on 4th one of the men slugged him over the head. The next thing he knew, he was lying in a vacant lot minus $4.70. County Traffic Committee. The frequent stops made by buses along main traffic arteries and motorists who still do not understand their flashing signals were considered the main problems.

"Bus stops should be set up with a little more thought," said California Highway Patrol Capt. Frank J. Freeman, who has to enforce the laws in unincorporated county areas. "Some people seem to think the bus should pick up their children at their own front door, instead of walking a few blocks to a bus Stop." STARTS DISCUSSION The discussion was touched off by an observation by J. L.

Goss of Barstow regarding motorists violating the warning lights' on stopped buses. However, since the lights are established under state law, there was nothing the committee could do except look to Capt. Freeman for more stringent enforcement. Capt. Freeman also bemoaned the habit of placing bus stops on main thoroughfares when children can be picked up on quiet side streets just as easily.

On the other hand, committeemen Loren S. Moore of the State Division of Highways and Horace F. Sutt of the county highway department agreed with Williams and Capt. Freeman that there is a limit on what precautions may be taken concerning schools.

'No Money in It' LAKE ARROWHEAD MAN COLLECTS ROOTS AS HOBBY Gilbert L. Youngblood of Lake Arrowhead has an unusual hobby. He collects roots. "There isn't any money in it," Youngblood said, "but it is both relaxing and interesting." He became interested in shapely roots following his first discovery about four months ago.

His latest "find." a manzanita root shaped like a French poodle's head, increases his collection of oddities to four. He is interested only in his own discoveries at the momentbut tentative plans call for a challenge to other collectors as to quantity and variety. A stone mason for 22 years, Youngblood doesn't waste any time in pursuit of his hobby. "If the root of a tree doesn't add to my collection it adds to the fuel in my fireplace," he said.

The six newly installed high-intensity sirens, operated by buttons at the central air raid warning switchboard, were tested to meet specifications of the government. Four tests were conducted between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. The sirens were reported loud enough to alert base personnel inside closed buildings. Numerous telephone calls flooded The Sun-T I a switchboard during the tests.

Only those persons residing in the vicinity of Norton said they heard the sirens, however. One woman eight blocks away said she could hear the sirens in the yard but not inside the house. Conducting the tests was the electrical contractor in charge of the installation. One button operates the sirens manually while the other three set up the "yellow," "red" and "all clear" warnings automatically, the spokesman said.
