MANY ARRESTS
MADE BECAUSE
OF BAD LIGHTS

Captain Frank Oswalt of the
state traffic department here an
nounced today that more than 25
arrests have already been made by
his men due to motorists driving
automobiles equipped with poor
lights.
These arrests we're made as part
Of campaign being carried on
against cars with no tail lights, only
one headlight, or poor lights.
The light campaign was ordered
by traffic heads in Sacramento,
Captain Oswalt pointed out, and
his men must carry out orders. 1t
is not because they wish to arrest
motorists that they hand out
traffic tickets, but because they
are ordered to do so.
A report must be made to Sac
ramento Oh the progress of the en-
forcement campaign here. Every
officer who sees a car without
proper lights has been ordered to
arrest the driver of the car, and
cite him to appear in court.
Bench warrants will be issued for
those who do not appear on tickets
given them by traffic officers.

MAKES PLEA FOR
PRESERVATION OF
old HOMESTEAD

| Preservation Of family homesteads
throughout the country will dc more
/ than any other effort to continue

next gcnera ton, says Herbert u
| Nelson. executive secretary of the
National Association of Real Estate

! If you can keep mother sitting by

her family in rented rooms, says

Most Of Nelson's members are en-

thinks that parents should preserve
/ the old family hearths whenever

children have these homes to revisit
F.! they will be imbued with the home

TO provide homes for. their children
An old family homestead, mellow

/ from the street, perhaps in q flower

p1uence in the lives Of children
grown and gone out into the world,
! says Nelson. TO begin with, the
continuance of the family home

If the home is still there, and one

revisit it. They will get together or
Christmas and holidays, tor vaca-
tionS and little visits with the old
| folks.
They won't have chance to tor
get the ideals that perhaps mace
this home possible. Pride and am
bition, and sacrifice and thrift were
known in the home during tlelr
childhood days, Something OF
| these desirable qualities still turks
, within its walls. The boy or girl
returning often to the old home vii!
get to thinking that this is the
best way to live, ard will begin TO
save for homes Of their own.
There are today many OF these
old structures where parents live OF
after the children have grown and
gone away. You can see these
houses in every community, and }
hope that some of them Will be
preserved as long as possible. They
stand with dignity in the midst OF
never architectural styles. They arc
, beautiful as old people are heautl-
full, and all the fine principles be-
hind home ownership still live on
behind their doors.
1T isn't the same if mother and
| father move into a city flat. 70 be
sure, they want to DC as cOntorta :
bic as possible and some old houses
require good deal Of care which
seems unnecessary when children
are there so little. But mothers
and fathers throughout the land
worry these days about whether OF
not young folks have some OF the
good d-fashioncd ideals. It might
be better to shut off part of the old
home during some of the year, and
perhaps modcrnize it a little, II
keeping the family center would
help the boy or girl out in the
world"
