HOTE II HITSA CUFF Oakland Youth Dies In Crash Against Sea-cliff Bank The thrilling reaction of hundreds of Seacliff beach spectators to the flying maneuvers of Frank J. Mich-els, 26, of Oakland, was turned to horror when he crashed into a bluff in a fatal accident Saturday evening about 7 o'clock. MicheLs, flying an Aeronca two-passenger monocoupe belonging to Monty Sharp of the Santa Cruz airport at Capitola, took off from the airport and was said to be stunting over an area between Seacliff and Capitola for the entertainment of beach habitues when something went wrong with the plane.

WINS TO DOVUNTIGHTLY Today Is Zero Hour For Operation of Contraband BEACH, UPTOWN PLACES AFFECTED Even Bridge Games With Prizes Are To Be Banned Beginning today the letter of the law will be the basis upon which city of Santa Cruz officials are to operate in connection with gambling and anything that may be interpreted as gambling. There are to be no favorites and "gambling" whether it be in a night club, road house, card club or evening party of lodge or society, home or place of rendezvous will fall under the ban of local authorities, the paraphernalia confiscated and the participants, owners or conductors of the places put under arrest. City officials last night consisting of Police Commissioner Amos Roff, Chief of police Al Huntsman, City Attorney Francis Hall and Santa Cruz County District Attorney Ben B.

Knight visited every place in the city where any sort of gambling or so-called gambling game is conducted and left a warning that today will be the zero hour for their operation. Every slot mashine in the city that is known as a "pay-off machine falls under the ban. Pin games that also pay-off, Bingo whether in a lodge room, church -social room, amusement parlor at at the beach must close down or the owners will feel the strong hand of the law. The heart game, wheel games, 26 and dice games, all card games where money is used and lotteries of all sorts, will be affected. Bingo is one of the most controversial games on the list of gambling.

Until a definite decision is given on this the local authorities will close up every game in the city, including the ones at the beach. If a game is illegal in one spot it is illegal everywhere in town will be the motto used by the authorities. Parlor bridge where money or articles of money value are used for prizes are technically on the list of gambling and will be treated like any other game on the law's blacklist.

The visit yesterday was merely a warning that all such taboo games must close. If they are not closed the operators will be arrested and the outfits siezed. A close and constant checkup on all places where games of the contraband character are played will be made by the authorities. The importation yesterday of a truck load of illegal slot machines from the outside and "spotting" of the machines in various places of business, is believed to be one of the straws that broke the camel's back and hastened action by the authorities.

(Associated Press Phtto) PITH STATEf DREST Plan For Reforestation Instead of State Park Thousands of acres of land in the Loma Prieta region which the state of California now has options to buy would be dedicated as a state forest and not a state park, W. D. Winters, chief state ranger for this county, said yesterday.

A forest, Winters pointed out by way of distinction, is set aside for conservation purposes and is not opened freely to campers. A park, such as Big Basin or Mt. Diablo, is set aside as a recreation ground and the public is sncouraged to come there for picnics and camping. In the Loma Prieta forest, if it should be created, young trees would be planted to aid nature in reforestation. Trees in the area would be allowed to mature and then, with every precaution being taken toward conservation, would be lumbered out.

One of Santa Clara valley's most important water sheds thus would be restored to a large degree and streams on the valley side of the Santa Cruz mountains might again flow like they did before timber was slashed away 50 and 75 years ago. Establishment of this forest would materially aid the Santa Clara Water Conservation district. Winters said, in working out its scheme to save the waters from wasting into the San Francisco bay. Leaf mold that would form would absorb the storm waters and thus tend to prevent flooding and ero- sion. The water would tend to carry less silt which now can be deposited in the conservation district's percolation beds.

Such a forest is needed here, according to Winters. The move to obtain it already has received the approval of the head of the state division of forestry and of the head of the national forestry set-up. WRENS KEEP SEASON DATES TOLEDO (U.R In several years' observation, Harry S. Fox found that wrens arrived at his wren houses during the same week each season.
