CmrapDtiDirt fr Wednesday Evening, September 26, 1956 J1 v't yVs 1 Ifcvs X- dfarV 4 48te Labor Strikes, Rains Blamed For Delays Delayed by two prolonged labor strikes and a stretch of bad weather last spring, the completion date of the San Bernardino Freeway has been advanced from November to late next January, according to a spokesman for Winston Bros, of Monrovia, prime contractors for the two uncompleted sections of the freeway from West Covina to Pomona. The major, time-consuming groundwork on the nine-mile section from Puente Ave. at the west city limits of West Covina to San Dimas Ave. at Pomona has been completed, he said. This included carving out a large section of Kellogg Hill, building up the bed for the highway thru West Covina, doing basic grading along the entire route, and building nine grade separation structures.

Bridge Decks Completed The structures, six on the West Covina strip and three on Kellogg Hill, included bridges, ramps, underpasses and 'pedestrian overcrossings. The last bridge decks were completed this week, and only curbs and wing walls remain to be done. The paving machinery, cement mixers, form layers, finishers and trucks are now working at top speed on the actual concrete laying, and the work is expected to progress at half-a-mile per day from now on. The freeway link with the Griffith contract at Puente Ave. has been finished, and the crew is now- working its way thru West Covina, one strip at a time on the south lanes.

They will pave from Orange Ave. to Azusa then from the completed section at Old Holt Rd. up over Kellogg Hill to a juncture with the Pomona strip. When the north section of the Kellogg Ilill sector is completed, traffic will be moved onto it and the work will start on the south lanes. x-ivs FREEWAY BRIDGE Work is nearly completed on the nine structures along the nine-mile West Covina-Kellogg Hill section of the San Bernardino Freeway, and paving is progressing at the rate of half-a-mile per day.

Winston Bros, of Monrovia, contractors for both projects, expect to finish the freeway late in January. Shown here is the Citrus Ave. bridge in West Covina, with traffic moving on the north section that will eventually be the westbound lanes. Only wing walls and curbs remain to be done on the freeway bridges (P-B photo) FIRST JET ARRIVES Inspecting first Sabre Jet airplane to arrive at Pacific Airmotive Corp. in Chino for overhaul are, Neal Coleman, center, company vice president; E.

The council denied extension (Continued on Next Page) State and Federal Aid For Schools Favored dogs having been vaccinated before licenses will be issued. Frequency of vaccination will depend on the type of vaccine used. One type is effective two years and another one. Most of the discussion at the councils five-hour session centered on Planning Commission recommendations. Two of the recommendations were overruled.

The commission had recommended denial of the application of Catron Motors for a variance for offstreet parking in an R-S tpne, located at the northeast Comer of Mountain Mew and Hawthorne but this was overruled, on motion of Councilman S. Raker, following lengthy discussion. As home owners in the area G. G. Parker, Mrs.

F. J. Span-sail, Mrs. Earl Hulbert and City Attorney Arlo E. Rickett Jr.

opposed the variance at the present time, feeling that a variance should await more general use of the area for business. John Catron reviewed need of the firm for the space for vehicles served by the company. The council overruled recommendation for denial for a change of zone, R-l to C-l. at the north Mo Break Seen In Hot Spell Temperature here will rise into the 90s tomorrow for the fifth consecutive day, the Weather Bureau predicts. The hot spell that began Sunday, the day after the autumn season began, brought downtown Pomona a high of 96.4 yesterday, down only a degree from Monday.

The Weather Bureau. forecasting clear skies, estimated the mercury would go to 95 this afternoon and 91 tomorrow. From an overnight low of 63 the mercury had lisen to 92 by 11:30 a.m. today. At that time relative humidity was down to 28 per cent and was expected to go considerably lower this afternoon.

There ere a few high clouds this morning, and variable high cloudiness is predicted for Southern California generally with high fire danger in the mountains and only some patchy night and morning low clouds and fog along the coast. A first stage smog alert, the eighth one this year, was called at 10:27 a m. today when the ozone concentration reached .50 part per million in downtown Los Angeles. Visibility in the downtown area had dropped to less than a mile at 11 a.m. The Air Pollution Control District predicted moderate to heavy eye irritation Thursday, with another alert possible.

The victim yas taken to Pomona Valley Community Hospital, where his condition was described as good- this morn- ins Democratic candidates John G. Sobieski and A1 Smith spoke on California school problems before members of the Pomona Valley- Democratic Club last nght in Washington Paik Clubhouse. Smith, candidate for the State) Assembly, said (hat the 100 million dollar bond issue on the November ballot, if passed, would be just enough to eliminate double sessions for chil-dien already in school.

California needs at least 45,000 new school rooms in the next two years, he said. He mentioned the reluctance cf many school boards in the state to accept state aid because ct too many- rules and regulations in eonnection with such lunds and said citizens should send people to Sacramento who would work to ievise those tules and regulations and make them workable. Smith advocated greater use of school faciiitie', for and a broad program of public paiks clo--e to school facilities so the combined faculties could be used to cut down juvenile delinquency. Claims Triple Sessions Sobieski. candidate for Congress, said that some schools in California have gone into triple sessions.

He said that unless the situation changes, there will be still more juvenile delinquency. Teachers in Pomona and thiuout the state aie doing a good job, he said, hut they could do a much better job if we had more money for the classrooms, equipment and additional teacheis and inci eases in teacher salat ies. The need is so great here that the only source Horn which sufficient moneys can be obtained is the lodcral government. He said that if Ameiica is to retain leadership in world affairs. every young American who has the ability and wants a college education must have that opportunity.

Sobieski charged that the incumbent congressman, Patrick G03 IRA Ui fcarpnafcg-o Cl 1 si i r'X Local Siren To Be Silent During Test County civil defense sirens will be given their monthly-test at 10 a.m. Friday, but Pomona's siren will remain silent. Howard Hunter, local civil defense director, explained today that the Pomona siren atop the California Bank building is tested weekly at a low sound level. The remote controls and the entire mechanism are checked to he sure they are in working order. A weekly test.

Hunter feels, is superior to the monthly cheek made of the 25 county sirens. In case of emergency-, Po-monans will need to know but two signals: a long, steady blast is a warning; a warbling tone means take cover immediately-. Since the advent of the hydrogen bomb in the civil defense picture, there is ho all clear by siren. Fallout is felt to be one of our greatest hazards since the bomb, Hunter said. Unless we had time to monitor the area and determine the density of radioactive fallout, it would be foolish to run an all clear and get people out of shelter and exposed.

Consequently, the all clear will be given by any possible means telephone, megaphone or radio. If Pomonans' radios ever go silent during an emergency, residents are advised to turn to 640 or 1240 kilocycles and leave the radios on. They will be told by- Conelrad 1 Control of Electromagnetic Radiation) what the emergency is and what to do. That advice is most of all important. Hunter said.

Pomonas siren can be hoard for a distance of eight miles. Nonetheless, it will not be heard by everyone within that radius, not because of distance but because of variable air currents.
