Most accidents occur in the rush hours between 5 and 6, or 8.9 per cent of the total. Between 7 and 8 in the evening the percentage is only slightly less.

Quite a difference between these modern automobiles and those of the gay 90's when you spent half your time outside the car or underneath it trying to make the danged thing run. We once made a trip from Ida Grove, Iowa to Sioux City, a distance of 90 miles, that required two days, but at the time everybody was quite amazed that Billy Anderson and the writer had done so well. Those were the days when you cranked the motor at the side of the car. A young chap, a future Corrigan, who lives in East Los Angeles and flies back and forth each day to his work with a North Hollywood trucking company, made a forced landing in a field Sunday on Victory boulevard across from the Frieberg ranch. He drives an that such flow will not exceed the capacity of the existing channel where improved.

"If a flood control basin is not constructed in this vicinity, enlargement of the channel over i this entire length of river would be necessary a matter of tremendous expense. The work that has already been done by the United States Engineer department along the Los Angeles river will be rendered inadequate unless this basin is constructed. "This district approves of the flood control system proposed by the United States Engineer department for the Los Angeles river, including the construction of Upper Los Angeles River Flood Control Basin project. ficial, and a mighty good citizen. He know eveiy house and every voter in the precinct, and a year or two ago when some sharpers from the city tried to fake registration in that precinct he quickly detected and blocked their scheme.

Forbes could write a most interesting book on his life and adventures if he only would. He spent many years in the far reaches the jungles in Brazil. He was one of the early day engineers in northern Michigan and once made a survey of Isle Royal in Lake Superior where he found a lake of some size that was not even on the government map. This body of water was named Forbes lake by the government in his honor and so it stands on the maps today. Betty Crowell, who presides over the W.

The idea is the resull of many years observation in the food business by Philip and Murray Fiance, owners of the Super Markets in Van Nuys, San Fernando and Canoga Park.

We have found that women like to pick out their own food and that of all the various food departments, the vegetables are the most important to them, the Fiance brothers report. So we have made it possible for the ladies to pick whatever they wish among the fruit and vegetables and have arranged for the drapping and carting of what they select. Scales will be provided and clerks will be nearby to see that no person shortweighis herself. Those w'ho preter the older method of clerk service will find that also available, they add. Other conveniences in the grocery, meat and delicatessen departments were added in the re-modernization, and the Van Nuys Super Market now oilers one of the most interesting shopping places in the valley.

Walker, secretary of the Van Nuys chamber. Attendants promised to return to their organizations to start a-comprehensive campaign whfJS-hy every home in the area afM-cd will be visited with petitions asking the government to call off this work. The engineers may have a rca son for this dam hut I think the San. Fernando Valley can match each reason with another reason why this barrier should not be 1 built, Mr. Walker insisted.

"After all other possible avenues of flood protection have been plumbed and found fruitless then and only then will the San Fernando Valley consent to pay the enormous price, he insisted. The speaker showed maps prepared under direction of H.

E. Hedger, recently appointed engineer for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District in 1934 and urging a series of check dams along canyons and urged this as a solution to this problem. Mr. Walker showed that the March 2 storm brought a peak water load from the Big Tujunga Canyon of 38,000 second feet and that the volume in the Los Angelos river at Griffith Park was 00,000 second feet. This shows, he added, that GO per cent of the flow in the Los Angeles river at this point, would be controlled by the Hansen Dam.

Furthermore the Los Angeles river, at the Sepulveda boulevard region has never exceeded a flow of second feet. More than 200 signatures protesting the dam have been collected along Ventura boulevard from Encino to Studio City. Miss Fazenda will head a womens group to fight the proposal. Charles Cook, Van Nuys attorney, quoled A1 Livingston, of the Los Angelos City College, in saying the Hansen Dam will be filled with debris in 15 years, perhaps sooner, and will then be valueless. The same thing will happen with the Van Nuys dam, he predicted.

Ralph Feueurborn, Van Nuys business man, cited this enormous Ihing being shoved down our throat and added that "the Army has taken the attitude that we have nothing to say in this matter. Hp said that El Monte on the other side of Pasadena stands a chance of being completely wiped out because a similar kind of dam is proposed at the Whittier Narrows. Proponents of the light against Ihe dam expect to get fuel for their battle when the issue of local taxes to pay for right of-wav comes up. The Sepulveda Dam, it was shown, will remove 7500 city lots from Ihe market, will he three and one-half miles long and will cut Into one of the most fertile areas of thp valley. Frank Keffer, dean of valley editors, said the residents of the west end of the valley will have no protect ion from floods once ibis dam Is functioning.
