STAGES DELAYED

Hearing of the injunction pro-
ceedings brought by the United
Stages, Inc, against the United
Stages, which was scheduled for
Judge Coles department Of the su-
perior court yesterday, was con-
tinued until December 3.
AS Judge Cole expects to be hold
ing court in Los Angeles during the
month of December, it is possible
that an outside judge, probably
Judge Shenk of Los Angeles will
preside at the trial.
The various Sngles of the contro-
versy between the two stage operat-

portions that the trial is awaited
with much interest. In addition to
several civil suits, the district at

RURAL SCHOOLS
ENLIST in NEW
SAVINGS SYSTEM

Additional schools were enrolled
in the school savings plan of the
First National Bank yesterday as 4
result of visits by r. l.. Gardiser,
Fred Gianola and A. Fl. Keller to
several rural schools. The savings
system was established in the Euca.
lyptds, Seeley, McCabe, Heber and
Meloland schools.
The children in the rural schools
were just as enthusiastic about the
savings plan as the pupils in the
city schools, according to Gardiser,
and he believes the plan will work
out satisfactorily wherever it is es-
tablished.
School authorities are doing ev-
erything possible to aid in estab'
fishing the savings systems, realiz'
ing that it stabalizes the character
of the child and teaches valuable
lessons in thrift, character building
and selfrestraint.
