general manager of the County Employes Association. Cortner asked that deputy coroners be covered by the 1937 retirement act as are other "safety members" such as deputy sheriff's and firemen. The act permits retirement at age 55. Supervisors referred the request to Administrative Officer Robert A.

"The person works at his own speed," she" said, "and the employer gets a chance to evaluate him." Niemeyer and Ernest E. Hofheins. work projects supervisor, are proud of the fact that in two years of operation they have not lost one of their 20-odd sponsoring agencies, which are at various levels of government.

In fact, said Niemeyer, "there are more requests than we can provide people." The number of county welfare recipients in this program has risen steadily since the department beqan keeping statistics in August 1964. month there were 129 people in various projects. Last March there were I55- Despite the large numbers being trained, Niemeyer concedes that welfare rolls are still increasing. certainly would slow the rate of he maintained. And he pointed out that the state had added several aid programs since the project started for example, aid to unemployed parents.

Going to work with no previous job or after many years in the home can be a frightening experience. Social workers try to make it as easy job interview by playing the role of employer. 'A lot of these people are out of the mainstream of society," Niemeyer said. "They're afraid, beaten down." The welfare department can refuse aid if a person refuses to cooperate in looking for a job, or refuses to accept a work project assignment. But this isn't usually a problem.

"Most are cooperative," Hofheins said. "This is a way to a better life. Some of the former welfare recipients have written to thank the department for the opportunity the training program gave them. One man reported that he had received several pay raises and become chief groundskeeper at a golf course. A woman wrote to express her thanks and report her earnings exceeded the allowable welfare grant.

Her case was closed and she said, "It's nice to be on your own." People on work projects get no pay besides their welfare grant, but the grant is supplemented by extra money for babysitting and transportation costs. There is also a standard $25-a-month allowance to cover job-connected expenses like hairdos, extra clothing and more expensive semi-prepared foods. The program may cost a littte more in the short run, but it saves taxpayers a lot eventually. And it has given some people a life they otherwise might never have known. The new 264.000 -square -foot Sears, Roebuck and Co.

store at Inland Shopping Center, San Bernardino, will open next Wednesday. The opening date was confirmed yesterday by H. E. Rademacher, California-Nevada zone manager, and Joseph Sadacca, store manager. Store employes have been rushing final preparations and arranging merchandise for the grand opening, which will include a brief ribbon -cutting ceremony.

The new two -level store is the largest in the center and third of the three major stores to open. An adjoining Sears automotive center with a 24 -car capacity is already open. The Broadway, with 1.000 square feet on three selling floors, opened Aug. 29, and May with 200.000 square feet on three levels, opened Sept. 6.

Opening of the enclosed pedestrian mall, which will link the three major stores with about 70 smaller stores, has been scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 12, by Homart Development a Sears subsidiary that is acting as center developer and mall landlord. The entire complex will have about a million feet of selling space, plus park curity. He said deputy coroners would have greater, retirement benefits than safety members if they were covered by the 1937 act. i Since 1951, according to Cortner, seven deputies have left the coroner's office.

Of these, two died while on duty, one retired at age 46 on a disability claim due to a heart ailment, one resigned because of mental anguish and three left for other reasons. "The heart condition, mental anguish and deaths were attributed directly to the occupation," Cortner said. Other agencies in the state have evidenced similar circumstances. "These men are exposed to every type of working condition imaginable, such as working in abandoned mines, work during flood conditions, windstorms, burning and collapsing buildings, in the middle of the freeway and in the mountainsdry or snowpacked. "The mental strain is great due to the frequent unpleasant nature of the work such as searching the remains of dead persons found in all physical states," Cortner said.

When the extra cost was mentioned, Ccrtner said, "We're only talking about five people." innual Appreciation Awards At the annual meeting of the tana Starlighters and Burdette Goughanour, youth volunteer of San Bernardino Crippled Children's Society, Charles Koehler, Fontana City councilman, center, represented the organization in giving awards to Vir-gina Dianasic, left, who received the honor for the Fon the year.

Judge Lawrence said as many as 10 jury trials a may be scheduled, but maybe only two will ever be tried.

"There is a lot of wasted money and undoubtedly a lot of jury man hours are never used," he stated. One disadvantage to the Garner plan would be that it would require the defendant and the lawyer to lose a day to come into the courtroom. "I don't like the idea of telling a defendant he has to take off another day from work," Judge Lawrence commented.

He explained that if the plan does not work out "you can always pull out. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain." Among activities under the library system would be a general evaluation of book titles from which each city library would be able to make selections, Lucas said. Supervisors' and council's action allows signing of a joint powers agreement with the three systems and the appointment of Lucas to the system's executive committee, San Bernardino City Library will apply for a state grant in order to become a member of the Inland Library System, joining Colton, Upland and the County Library.

Resolutions were adopted this week by the City Council and the county Board of Supervisors to grant the request made by Librarian Colin R. Lucas on behalf of the City Library Board. According to Lucas, establishment of the system was- recommended in a study of libraries throughout the county in 1964. Such cooperative library systems already are in operation in other areas of the state including the Sunnyvale-San Jose area, Lucas told the council. Under the Public Library Development Act, the system will allow each of the existing libraries to function independently while taking advantage of per capita grants, federal grants for construction and additions and a general of knowledge from the four library staffs.

BOLOGNA The Superior Court of San Bernardino PRODUCE (Continued From City Page) AP's handbook on news writing and its style book. In his appearance before newspaper workers, Heyn instantly grabs your attention by asking: "What's the best way to start a newspaper story? Like this, perhaps: "Some of the suspenders on the George Washington Bridge have lost their snap and are being replaced." Or: "A long, low whistle echoes across the frozen hills of Korea today as Marilyn Monroe continues her tour in an area where men outnumber the women to one." Both were leads to new stories car ried by the Associated Press. And you can bet the stories that followed were read to the very end.

Heyn quote the two leads to nhow that Rood leads on news stories no longer slavishly follow the old 5W formula Mwhn, what, where, when and why) long used by reporters in beginning their stories. In those dayi most of the salient facts were condensed and too frequently jammed into leads which became cumbersome and dull. Instead, Heyn insists that the good lead should be informative, brief, clear, accurate, simple, direct, active, objective and colorful. He would retain the all-quote leads, which are barred from some newspap-. erf.

In some cases, he contends, they be highly effective. He likes tho beginning of an Interview with Zsa Zsa Gabor. It follows: was born In the wrong 1 Zsa Zsa Gabor said today, i would have made a bum out of Madame said the question lead, like the ll-quote lead, ran also be a good at-tention-gettpr, but cautioned that neither ued indnrriminately.

Caller-Times tonight says it has been informed that Lt. Lee Miller of the Texas Highway Patrol says he has been informed that it has been reported that two of his men have captured John (Jake the Barber) Factor and two of his abductors near Har-mgen, Texas." Another case of super-caution was the newspaper copy desk that received the lead, "There are two kinds of snails: male and female." The copy editor changed it to, "There are two' kinds of snail, male and female, according to the Associated Tress." Choosing the verbs that denote action, according to Heyn, "is always a good way to sharpen a lead, or any other sentence, provided we choose them correctly and appropriately. For instance, Bob Considine some years ago composed a lead that said an early atomic explosion was 'like slapping God In the Even though a lead may meet all other requirements and be technically apt, Heyn said, lt may never be used because of the essential quality of good leads good taste.
