Beeler, city electrical engineer, announced yesterday that he has ascertained that equipment used for Christmas decorations is causing interference. Bulbs that flash on and off are the chief cause of interference, Beeler pointed out.

Use The Sentinel Classified Ads For Results Yule Cards Let Him By Charles Norman NEW YORK (A3). If you feel that way about it, this year you can send a Christmas card to your boss. He, in turn, can reciprocate. If you feel like the underdog in I your office, then the card intended for your boss was just made for you.

Headed by the frank declaration, "Greetings to the boss," the card shows a bright, eager and friendly-looking pup with a few strings of ticker tape wound around him, the tape suspiciously red. Inside there is a statistician's zig-zag and the fcgend: "And here's hoping you have a peak year in store for you." If that touches his heart and how can it fail? he will reach for an emborsed card bearing this acknowledgment: "From one who appreciates your service." The card doesn't say so, but the next step is asking for that raise. Anyway, it's all in the Christmas spirit. Another card this year that adds an extra thrill to Yuletide feeling is the one that looks like a bill from a department store. It's headed: "A Christmas Bill," and written across its face is the legend: "Although this is a Christmas bill and you suspect the worst (at this point you fumble and unfold it to read what's inside).

"Cheer up! It's not the kind that comes on January First!" Far from it it contains money. Perhaps you're not sending that kind this Christmastide, however, but trust you'll receive same. In that case, there are scores of cards you can send, all of them designed to show they were individually selected for a particular recipient. There are cards for husband or wife, Sonny or Jane, the boy friend, girl friend, sports enthusiast, dog-lover, man-about-town, teacher and minister. There are even cards for your "moderne" friend severe, simple designs in silver and glittering chromes, with Christmas trees and holly and all that sort of thing depicted in abstractions.

But if you're just plain old-fashioned about Christmas, there are cards and to spare for you. In them Santa Claus puffs, bearing his toy-laden grab-bag, reindeer speed over rooftops, sleighs make a jangle of bells on crusted snow, fir trees blaze with myriad lights topped off by a star, and the Three Wise Men make their immemorial journey. Romandia Once More In Jail Ed Romandia, charged with driv- ing an automobile without the own- 1 er's permission has started to serv a term of 180 days in the county jail. I This is the third time he has served terms in the local jail. I He was sentenced by Justice of the Peace C.

R. Taylor and was brought here yesterday by Constable Harry Mozingo. I Oj 1 'JLZL 00 Say 'Same To You I ROM THE BOSS 0 ocuatim TO THE BOSS S. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18.

Movements towards peace in the secondary line of San Francisco strikes proceeded slowly on three fronts today as one union reported they were near accord with employers. The bag workers' strike of 550 men in four plants reported that only the issue of a wage increase remains to be settled before the strike ends. This question will be brought up at a meeting scheduled for tonight. The optical workers' strike narrowed down to a two point issue-hours and preferential hiring. Further meetings were to be scheduled later this week.

Virtually all shipbuilding and repair activities were at a standstill in the bay area as 350 machinists awaited word on their demands for a raise in wages for both journeymen and helpers. Pickets continued to stand watch outside the Bethlehem plant, where eleven unions of the metal trades are on strike for wages, hours and working conditions. A strike strategy committee was appointed to guide their activities. No developments toward peace were reported.

Both were steelhead with a combined weight of 21 pounds. The one creating most attention on the part of anglers in the non-catch class was one weighing thirteen pounds. Fishing close to Bell was W.

Tara, who caught a ten pound silverside beauty while spinner casting on the extreme end of the point. It is also reported that a number of fish hooked made their escape. The reappearance of fish off the point will be welcome news to other line casters that have been out of luck for some time past along the river. Fishing Poor As to fishing in the San Lorenzo, it was a dull day and this even included the island shoreline, where not a single fish was accounted for. At least this was the situation up to late in the afternoon, when the only regular in evidence was Forrest Thurston, who caught the only steelhead on Wednesday.

That old veteran, George King, may also be mentioned, but his taming into submission of a thirteen pounder took place on the East Cliff drive bulkhead, where with his wife he makes a daily stand in this location. Spinner and fly casting claimed some attention on the Ocean street foot bridge, but strikes, not to say anything of catches, were in the unidentified class. However, smelt fishermen did not lack for action and it was a poor pole expert that did not take home his full share of the little silver beauties. The smelt seem to take bait best when the tide is at its extreme height. Nearly all of the fishermen are those that are waiting for smooth bay conditions to again prevail before again making daily stands on the city pier.

As to fishing off the Riverside avenue bridge and in the river section above, it was a case of famine pickings. The only fishermen to hook a fish of any respectable size was "Babe" Hart, who nursed shoreward a six pounder close to the Laurel street extension bulkhead. As usual many fish were in evidence But for some unexplainable reason they were not in a biting mood and his has been the case for many days past. One angler trying his skill close to Crossing street was Manuel Miranda, but he was willing to admit that there was nothing doing in the old holes where so many big steelhead and silversides were being caught at this time last year. Rio Del Mar RIO DEL MAR, Dec.

18 The joint birthday anniversaries of the Misses Edythe Swan and Betty Bur riston were celebrated by a party Riven by Miss Theta Belle Lang.staff Monday niiht. The evening was spent with games for which prizes were awarded. A large birthday cake with the names of the two Rirls written upon it was one of the features of the refreshments. About sixteen attended the affair. Mrs.

Robert Morris and baby and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Munro have returned to Riverside after a visit of several days with Mr. and Mrs. A.

He will return in about a month. An eight and one-half pound baby-boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lilly on December 14. Mother and son are both well.

The occasion was the annual Christmas party and was given in the Aptos hall to make room for the many parents and friends of the pupils, who have learn-ed from experience that they are sure of an enjoyable evening when their children perform. The program was a credit both to the pupils and to the teachers who planned and directed an exceptionally well presented program in a clever and original way.

The acts were announced by Barbara Schrier, one of the pupils, in a clear and gracious manner. An Aptos school band made its first appearance with ten members, directed by Cecil Rhodes. It shows promise of much talent. One of the hits of the evening were the tiny tots of the first and second grades, who appeared in nighties and pajamas, in a skit starring talented Carl Duer as a dancer. Donald Welch was received with his usual hearty welcome in his cowboy appearance.

He was assisted by Raymond Waltrip and their harmonizing equals the performance of far more experienced and older boys. An original skit entitled "Aptos School of Long Ago," in which the actors burlesqued the overacting of other days, was a difficult bit of work that was exceptionally well done. When all the actors are good it is difficult to pick out any particular ones as stars. The program in full was: Christmas Greetings John Com-acho and Esther Hill. Music Aptos School Band.
