TEN DEMANDS

Gus proportions as to bring Sol
Rosenblatt, NRA code enforcement

Mr.. Rosenblatt flew here from

Three Fights in Progress
From authentic sources it was
learned there are not only serious
actor-producer difficulties to be
ironed out, but writer.producer
differences and agent-producer diff
ferences.
The actor group, it was learned
today, would incorporate 10 main
points in a proposed NRA code of
ethics and fair practice covering
dealings between actors and pro-
ducerS.
Eight-HOur Day Demanded
These points are:
I. A basic 8-hour day for play.
ers hired by the day that shall
include travel time to and from
locations.
2. Overtime pay for day play
ers and free-lance players.
3. A 15-hour rest period between
''calls."
4. No Sunday or holiday work
unless compensated for by another
day off.
S. No loaning of a contract
player to another studio without
his or her consent.
6. Short-time contracts to run
consecutive days, not to spread out
over indeterminate period.
Ask Pay for Retakes
7. Pay for retakes after picture
ends.
8. A new standard contract with
q clause providing for arbitration
of all individual actor-producer diff
ferences.
9. Abolition of "the call bureau"
not to be confused with the
central casting bureau.
10. Right of agents to represent
players in all dealings with pro-
ducers. including matters not re-
lated to fixing of salary and OBJ
tanning of roles.
Points 8, 9 and 10 are regarded
as the most critical and contro-
versial.

California Democrats who can't

the last week TO rally behind the
banner of American Democracy of
California, pledged to the defeat of
Sinclair and Socialism in Noyem-
ber.
Central headquarters at 612

10000 Democrats, and predicted
that this number would be multi.

Orange county, and anti-Sinclair
Democrats were active in all of the
southern counties, according to an
nouncementS.
Headed as it is by the same lead

the American Democracy movement
has enlisted more than 80 per cent
Of the Creel leaders and attracted
large majority of the other reg

to official announcements.
Orange county's organization
work against Sinclair has been
taken over by Col. S. H. Findley of
Santa Ana, and he, with c. Harold
Dale, secretary, has established
headquarters at SIG N. Main Street.
In Los Angeles county, the es.

all of the assembly districts, the To-
cation is the same, and those in

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

This is Fire Prevention Week, dedicat-
ed to reducing one of the most costly and
one OF the most unnecessary of the ma
TONS eXtravaganceS-the annual loss of
life and property by fire.
Those who have made a study of the
situation assert that the great major
ity of fires are the result of carelessness
and it is in the hope of curbing this
carelessness by education that Fire Pre-
vention Week has been given support by
fire department executives and insur-
anee men all over the country.
All of US are familiar with the chances
we take all too frequently. Reflecting
upon them for a moment makes us Won

it is. Smokers Flip" cigarette butt

they are careless as to where and when
they strike matches; sometimes the

nails-there are dozens of risks that we
take, trusting to luck that fire will not
result.
Fire Prevention Week centers atten-

It seems to be fitting occasion to
pay deserved tribute to the Ell Centro
fire department, particularly for the
care it has taken during the recent
months, in the midst of an exceptionally
dry period, to prevent serious fires.
Those who believe the departments
job is limited to sailing away to a fire
when the alarm sounds, are making a big
mistake. Day in and day out there are
inspections for fire hazards, the firemen
acquainting property owners with con-
ditions and asking cooperation in elm
mating danger, and there is a continual
striving to keep fires at a minimum fig
ure.
The department is on the job "a hours
a day. 1t has a splendid record for eff
cheney and loyal service since the pioneer
days and present personnel is justly jeal-
Gus of its fine reputation.
This week the department asks the CO.

safe and healthful. No other local or

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
JUMPING NUTS

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily was hopping through the
woods. the rabbit gentleman stop
ped to rest near a bush. The leaves
on the bush were turning brown,
for this was the fall of the year,
which comes just before winter.
And the leaves on the trees around
the brown bush were turning red,
gold, purple and yellow. Jack Frost
had painted them with lovely COL
ors, using his cold fingers for
brushes.
All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily
stood with his back to the brown
bush, looking at the pretty trees,
there was a swapping sound and a
shower of small, brown nuts fell
around the rabbit gentleman. One
of the nuts hit his pink, twinkling
nose.
"Hal Who is throwing nuts at
me?" asked Mr.. Jongears, getting
ready to hop away and run in case
it should be a Bad Chap. But 1t
wasn't.

laugh, y"they did. But may !
ask what sort of nuts they are?'
Being a rabbit, Uncle Wiggily didn Z
know as much about nuts as did
Johnnie and Billy Bushytail, the
two jolly squirrel boys.

"They are hazelnuts,' answered
the brown bush who had been
speaking. 1.-The nuts popped off me
and I hope they didn't hurt you. y

nuts on the ground. They were

Uncle Wiggily filled his pockets
with the smooth, brown hazelnuts
that had popped so strangely out OF
their husks at him. AS he started
home with them, he thought that
while he and his rabbit children
didn't eat nuts, not having the
proper teeth for cracking the hard
shells, the squirrels would love to
get them.

wife these nuts that jumped at

rat lady housekeeper how the nuts
had showered around him.
"They are very strange!" said

WHERE'S THE SP0RTSMANSHIP?

Give US a set of gold mounted golf
clubs, with which to knock a diamond
studded ball around the links and we
would still scorn the game as much as we
do. For us golf doesn't have one-half
the attraction of the good old game of
shinny we played with tin can, a stick
and a score or more of other noisy ur-
chins in the long ago
That however, is a personal opinion
and is Just one against the millions who
love golf and get splendid enjoyment
and exercise from it.
Absolutely uninterested in golf as we
are, nevertheless we recognize the Bar
bara Worthy Country club as one of the
finest recreational assets this communi-
ty can have and we can't imagine any
one who likes the game even little, fall
ing down on the Job of keeping it oper-
ating as popular and going concern.
That it is in danger of folding up is
altogether too apparent from the state
ment issued yesterday by the club direc-
tors and the financial committee.
If it does fold up, it is not only ser
ious reflection on the progressiveness OF
this city, but it is a grave indictment of
the craftsmanship of those who have
claimed membership in the club but who
have not backed up that claim with their
material support
We can't conceive of the fine type of
men and women whom we know belong
to the club letting it die through their
own carelessness and indifference, yet
their own officials tell us there is just
such danger.
AS community asset, as an attraction
for tourists here, as splendid means OF
recreation for men and women, $50 bad
ly needed here), and as monument to
the sacrifice and efficiency of the work
done in the past, the Barbara Worth Coun-
try club merits the support to the fullest
degree of it's membership and this en-
tire community. If next Monday nights
meeting does not result in regeneration
of the clubs affairs so that it will be in
the position its officers desire it to be,
we are not only going to be disappointed
but we will be thoroughly ashamed.
