predict a first semester attendance of 1559 at the later school The board also stipulated that students affected by the boundary switch must transfer next fall rather than finish their high school education in their present schools District crossing attendance permits will be denied for a one year period starting next fall Plea In Vain This provision was assailed in vain by Stanford Jones of 5300 Street who asked the board to give students in the area bounded by 53rd 57th and Streets and 2nd Avenue an option to attend either Sacramento or Hiram Johnson High School Under the plan they will

drawn A few days later word was received it was not good Wells said McCormac forged the name of Kenneth Alexander of 4712 Kenneth Avenue Carmichael to the check The prosecutor said McCormac talked Alexander into associating with him in a plan to import and export machin- ery Alexander went to the nttmW district attorney office when of his personal checks i i Ji ift4llftlft' Three More Air Raid Sirens Are Set Up By City The installation of three new air raid sirens in the city has begun This was authorized recently by the city council and City Manager Bartley Cavanaugh The new sirens to be located on Elvas Avenue north of the Street subway near the Fruitridge Shopping Center and near the sewage treatment plant in South Land Park Terrace will be tested later this week as soon as installation is completed The additional equipment will bring the total number of public outdoor warning sirens to 20 all of them attached to a central system so they can be sounded simultaneously with the flip of a single dial Plato city civil defense director said the additional units will increase materially the sound coverage of the warning system The new sirens he added will have a two toned sound much like those used in England during World War II so the pitch will be somewhat different from that of the previously installed facilities The three units including the foundations which are already in place cost a total $4665 to be paid with matching city and federal funds They were purchased from Robert Zievers Company of Laverne Calif -jHoidup In Service Station Nets $30 Two armed robbers last night forced Leonard Daigle attendant in a service station at 6500 Folsom Boulevard to open an office safe and cash box and escaped with $30 after ordering him to stay in the rest room

Visitor Finds Everything Is 'Just Around The Corner1 Rafael Salazar city editor of Ya dally newspaper In Madrid Joined the staff of The Bee two months after corning to America under joint sponsorship of the state department and the McClatchy newspapers He has sent many stories bark to his paper reporting on life and habits in this country and has written several for The Bee giving his impressions of America Following Is another article by the Spaniard By Rafael Salazar Shreck Reminds Voters Of New Appointment City Councilman Murle Shreck today called to the attention of voters the fact that while his name appears on the November 5th munici pal election ballot actually he no longer is a candidate for reelection to the council He will resigp from the council before completion of his present two year tergi in order to assume the duties of a Sacramento County superior court judge on December 4th Shreck was elected to the council in November 1955 and took office the following January Plans To Resign will assume my duties as judge of the superior court on December 4th and will resign from my present seat on the city council before that Shreck said had already qualified as a candidate for another term on the council when Governor Gobdwin Knight announced my appointment my name will appear on the ballot even though I am actually no longer a candidate and could not serve if elected I therefore ask those who would have voted for me had I been able to serve not to do so and to vote for another candidate This is the democratic tradition has been a stimulating and challenging experience for me to sit on the city council and I take this opportunity to thank the voters and my many friends for making it possible I have learned much about local government during my term on the council Well Managed City my opinion the City of Sacramento is one of the best managed of any in the country In spite of rising costs increased population and expanded municipal services the city government under the very capable direction of our city manager the efficient administrative staff and the loyAl support of our very fine group of city employes has been able to build up a cash surplus and reduce taxes for two successive years have I worked with such a fine and public spirited group of men as the present city councilmen and I feel they should all be returned to office This will assure the citizens of Sacramento of continued good city Shreck will be a candidate for election to the superior Hornet Coach Will Address Rotarians Johnny Baker head coach 17th Street today outlined the platform on which he is campaigning for election to a fourth term on the city council on November 5th In asking the voters of Sacram to support 1 my candidacy for 1 c-tion I do so with the full realization the responsi bilities of the 0'fdo not NG Culjis intend to outline a long list of things which should or should not be done in order to keep our local ship of state on even keel I only reiterate a solemn promise made when I first sought the position of councilman that my best judg ment and efforts will be reflected in whatever I do and the welfare of the city as a whole will be my only concern will continue to be my policy if reelected to keep the expenses of our city government to the minimum possible without the curtailment of essential services However I do not advocate a penny pinching policy The citizens of Sacramento de mand and expect certain fun damental services and I am confident they are willing to pay the cost as long as they are satisfied there is no waste As Directors city government can be likened to a large corporation the policies of which are formulated and carried out by a board of directors Under the city manager-council form of government the council-men -are the directors Therefore it is the duty of these to be fully cognizant of the affairs of the city to clearly announce their policies and to enact legislation which can be intelligently carried out by the administration there is no necessity for interference by the city council in the operation of departments of the city government except to see the administration heads are doing a good job Business principles of government actually are the major plank in the platform on which I base my candidacy All other things naturally follow a business administration Good business in government means econo- signatures He said Kit Carson Junior High School graduates in his district will be separated from their friends most of whom will attend Sacramento High School Assistant Superintendent Arthur Polster who headed the realignment study explained that following junior high school boundaires would have barred the allocation of proper student loads to the three high schools He pointed out attendance zones of Lincoln Sutter and Peter Lassen Junior High Schools also will be bisected by the new high school lines He said the creation of zones would rule out athletic eligibility for students residing in them Mother Protests Mrs Dale Wheadon of 5308 Street who has two daughters in attendance at Sacramento High School said the compulsory switch will work a hardship on students working for scholarships or running for various offices Dentist Calls For Water Fluoridation Dr John Kennedy a dentist member of the board expressed the hope findings of a federal and state dental survey in the city schools will spotlight what he called the need for fluoridation of water supply The board authorized the federal public health service and the state department of public health to examine more than 1200 children between the ages of 5 and 14 for gingivitis a gum irritation The study will be conducted in the Lincoln Mark Twain and Crocker Elementary Schools and the Lincoln Peter Lassen and California Junior High Schools Data will be compared with findings in other California sections and cities outside the state to determine among other things the effect of fluoridation on the gum ailment Nursing Curriculum May Be Reduced Superintendent Burkhard disclosed Sacramento Junior College probably will reduce its nursing curriculum from three to two years before
