mittees, the governor pledged him-
self to call the state legislature into

in the hope of adopting state pro-
gram of water development upon
which the peop,e can vote in No
vember, 1882.
The committees, 18 in number,
were:
/. The citizens water commission
created by act of ;le 1881 state leg
iSlature.
2. Seventeen special honorary ad-
visory committees comprising more
than $50 California citizens repre-
senting all interests and localities in
the state.
With a little more than four
months remaining in which to for
mulate comprehensive water pro-
gram acceptable to all parts of the
state, Governor Rolph urged the va
rious groups to launch statewide
meetings with view of having the
plan ready for the special legislative
session.
Members of the citizens commit
tee, the guiding group, were an
nounced as follows:
Matt I. Sullivan, San Francisco,
chairman. former chief justice of
the state supreme court.
D. K. Barnell, president, MERGED
Irrigation district.
James M. Burke, Visalia attor-
ney, member Tulare county water

CHIEF
URGES CARE IN
SCHOOL ZONES

Re-opening of schools during
September prompts Chief of Police
F. P. McCaSlin to urge motorists to
observe all safety laws in order to
protect the lives of school children.
He is working in connection with
statewide campaign for observance
of speed limit in school zones.
State and local traffic officers will
cooperate in enforcing the speed
laws, left at Is miles an hour by
the legislature when various other
speed limits were raised.
The section referring to school
zones, said Chief McCaslin, was
amended by the last legislature. to
apply the l5-mile limit not only
while children are entering or leav-
ing the grounds but at all times
while children are using the play
grounds of schools.
Children at play often are likely
to disregard the danger of traffic,
thereby placing the burden of re-.
sponsibility for ;'ieir safety uo'n
the motorist," according to McCas-
lin.
when schools you pass-use less
gas is the slogan adopted by those
responsible for initiating the safety
campaign.

justments of various properties and
moneys. The petition stated she

.OLD-TIME housewives always
" put up" plums to serve in
late winter. Y The pleasant tart
ness of plum delicacies was par
ticularly acceptable with the
heavy meals considered necessary
to combat the winters cold. Mod
ern housewives find that same
tartness delightful with roasts and
fowl. Modern methods of cam
ming and preserving produce more
delicately favored conserves than
those of 500 years ago, but plums
were priced long ago on account OF
their excellent keeping qualities.
Greengage, yellow. damson and
all sweet varieties may be used In
any of the following recipes.
Greengage plums are unusual
" easy to can and are very well
liked. The fruit is washed and
cooked slowly in heavy syrup UNI
til tender. Seal in hot sterilized
jars.
Plum Conserve
Five pounds plums. 1-2 cup hot
water, / cup seeded raisins. l cup
nut meats, pounds graduated
sugar.
Wash plums and remove stones.
Put fruit, raisins, hot water and
sugar into preserving kettle.
Bring slowly to the boiling point
and simmer gently until plums are
clean. Add nuts and cook ten
minutes longer. Pour into hot
sterilized jars and seal.
Plum and Peach Conserve
Four pounds plums. 4 pounds
peaches, l pound seedless raisins.

kernals, 2 cups water.
Scald fruit and slip off skins.
