Club Aids Congressional Page businessmen witnessing unusual activities- they think might be theft in progress, to inform law enforcement immediately. "Our reward offer is having an effect now," said Rene. "And, interest is growing. We ((ABF) want potential thieves to know that it's not healthy for them to operate in Fontana. "We want them to know that Fon-tanans are involved in self protection and are ready to spot burglars.

As the burglary arrest number grows, they (thieves) will know to keep out of Fontana, or get nailed by police." The ABF group is continuing its effort to collect funds from both businesses and residents to keep the reward fund alive. To date, it has paid out $200 and has a balance of nearly $4000. More is needed, said Rene. Persons wanting to contribute to the effort may mail contributions to FUND, P.O. Box 249, Fontana, Ca.

92335. FONTANA Another $100 reward has been collected from Fontana's Anti-Burglary Fund (ABF) by an alert witness, who helped County Sheriff's deputies with information leading to arrest of two burglary suspects. Reno Rene, spokesman for ABF, told The Sun-Telegram that the Fund's latest awardee was able to get the suspect car license number and give the information along with the auto description to Sheriff's deputies, who made the arrest. The burglary occurred Aug. 20 and involved the home of Audrey Arhlene, 15389 Orchid Ave.

The victim was away at the time, said deputies. To date, two $100 awards have been paid out by AFB in its effort to stir public interest and aid in reducing or stopping growing number of home and business burglaries throughout Fontana. Rene said that the only way to bring thefts to a halt is for residents and general law system of government. If the proposal to change the form of government fails to receive a majority, commissioners will find themselves with nothing to do. Although today is the deadline for candidates, the voters themselves still have two weeks to make sure they are eligible to cast ballots Nov.

3. Sept. 10 is the final date for registering. Those who should, may register at the civic center, Chamber of Commerce or with any authorized deputy county registrar, include those who have changed their addresses or names or failed to vote in the last general election and those who are just reaching their 21st birthday. This must be done before Sept.

10, if they wish to cast a ballot in November. Instead of re registering, persons who have moved from one address to another within the limits of San Bernardino County, may change their registration through the mail. Forms indicating a change of street address within the county may be obtained either at the office of the city clerk or the Chamber of Commerce in Rialto. The question of whether or not a charter should be drawn up for Rialto was the major plank in the platforms of several candidates for the City Council last April. Although Ralph Carter was the only proponent of the change to win a place at the council table, heavy voting for several candidates who favored it undoubtedly influenced the present council to put the matter on the November ballot.

A number of these same candidates included among the 21 who are now seeking a place on the charter commission.
