Mrs. William eFrrin, 4420 Bain avenue, was elected secretary.

Unable to attend the re-organization meeting, Melendy explained that one of the primary reasons for the district setting up operation after being inactive for approximately four years is to maintain Opal Cliffs beach. The district was reactivated tinder a 1957 state legislature law designed to provide more uniformity for the administration of recreation and park districts. County Counsel Bill Card ex plained that districts are required to re organize under the 1957 state law by January, 1962. The measure provides for moreu nlformity of districts and spells out in greater detail the powers of the bodies. A resolution of the new setup in Opal Cliffs will be sent to Sec retary of State Frank Jordan, Other recreation districts which have already come under the new bill are Ben Lomond, Boul der Creek and La Sclva beach.

Commended for outstanding senke as a deputy registrar of voters for 37 years more than any active registrar is Cornelius VanKaathoven of Ap- Mail Delay Slows Work On Kidnaping Christmas mailing, which has overloaded postal facilities, is holding up investigation into the kidnaping of an elderly San Jose couple held hostage Sunday. Several areas, including Fresno, Visalia, Los Angeles. Sacramento and Yreka, have notified the sheriff's office of suspects generally answering the kidnapers' descriptions. However, identification pictures mailed to the office have failed to arrive, said Lt. Gary Smith, who is heading the investigation.

Mrs. Clara B. Hoeller, 78, and Peter Trimborn, 74, were taken hostage Sunday afternoon, tied and left in her boarded-up summer cabin in the Santa Cruz moun tains by two men and a woman. As soon as the pictures arrive they will be shown to the San Jose people in efforts to pinpoint the trio, Lt. Smith said.

As of this morning there were no arrests known of persons who might have kidnaped the couple. So far nothing has developed from fingerprints taken from a car the trio had stolen at Porter-ville. A license plate found on the car, which was left at the cabin when the trio took Mrs. Hoeller's Cadillac, was taken from the car of a Modesto woman, Lt. Smith said.

The woman was un. aware of the theft until notified by police, as plates from the stolen car were substituted. No reports have been received on the 1955 two-toned green Cadillac in which the kidnapers left. The car had license number DRF 712. but Lt.

Smith ventured that these plates would probably have been changed immediately by the kidnapers. Checking mountain cabins in the idea that the bandits might have holed tin in thp Snnta Crm mniin. tains has been completed without result, Lt. Smith said. Accused Arsonist Trial Set Jan.
