Old Auto, Slice of Cheese Start L. C. Sternberger in $30,000 Rite Spot Chain tThte is one of lories of articles In which the Pasadena Post Is pre-enthir Intimate stories of the young men who are building Pasadena.) By CHARLES KING An ancient automobile and a slice of cheese set L. C. Sternberger, 24-year-old business man, on the road to a successful career.

He is one of those genuine successes every person often reads about in magazines, but rarely meets. As way of introduction, Sternberger is founder and owner of the Rite Spot chain of restaurants; two in Pasadena, one in Glendale and one in Highland Park. Consideration is being given plans for opening additional restaurants. This young man started on the present enterprise in 1927, as the result of an interesting incident. On the approach to Pasadena he halted his automobile and gave a lift to a waysider who wanted to get out at the soft drink stand at the crown of Colorado street near the Annandale golf links.

Sternberger knew the location well he and his father, years before, sold fruit on the same spot. On reaching the top of the hill, Sternberger drove his car to the doorstep so his passenger would not have to wade in the mud left by the rain the night before. Sternberger engaged the owner of the, soft drink stand in conversation, with the result he swapped his car for the stand.

Cafe of Del Monte was named today in a warrant issued by Municipal Judge William Baird. Cannon Acquitted The complaint against Cafe was signed by Cannon, who accused him of giving false testimony in Pasadena justice court.

Smith, a bricklayer. Testimony Denied At the trial, Cafe testified that Cannon had called him on the telephone and told him the check was overdrawn, asking him to have Smith hold the check until funds could be deposited. Cannon denied having such a conversation with Cafe and charged that the testimony constituted perjury. Judge Baird fixed bail on the warrant at $1000. Elias M.

Preliminary discussion of plans for creating a regional park section east of Pasadena, comprising about 800 acres along the Eaton Wash, was held today between Pasadena business men and officials of Los Angeles county. Alternate Proposal The proposed plan would provide a low dam and water spreading ground in the wash instead of the high dam for Eaton Canyon but never built because of lack of funds. While no estimates were given of the cost of the project a portion of the proposed work, which will be determined some time In the future, would be borne by the flood control fund, with the remainder probably under a bond issue.
