JUST looking at it from the
" sidewalk. one wonders
sometimes if there is any,
thing sillier than the spec
tacle of a couple of police
motorcycles and a police am
bulance or two shrieking pell-
nell down Pacific ave. from
7th st. to the south end of
town.
Perhaps for such a run
they will make the dash with
red lights and bells ringing
at all intervening intersec-
tons perhaps they will make
it without such warnings to
pedestrians and cross traffic
It's an every day occur
renee and must send mousy
thrills up and down the spines
OF backwoods visitors.
Yet the bystander must
wonder if such runs through
the downtown shopping dis
trict are really necessary.
In all justice to the police
department, this criticism is
not directed at action neces-
sary in such emergencies as
that of Wednesday afternoon
when several Fort Lewis sol
diers were overcome in vari-
Gus parts of the city by food
poisoning.
TT is understandable TIL It
concentration of fire equip
ment for an alarm from the
tideflats or from the down.
town district must necessar-
lily involve a transit of down.
town streets, since the pump
ers, trucks, hose wagons and
chiefs come from several diff
ferent stations. Rarely do
they invade the business dis
trict without ample warning
from traffic lights and bells,
and their own sirens.
But police calls are another
matter. Many, true, are the
product of automobile col
lisions and mishaps. But
others involve no special
emergency, and break neck
speed is not justified.
Safety Commissioner East
wood has sponsored impor-
tant improvements in traffic
control and police equipment,
but before his job is finished
he should:
% Plan if possible the
stationing of an ambulance at
the south end of the business
district to meet emergency
calls from State Roads No. l
and 5 and their laterals, where
most of the accidents orig
mate.
(2) Provide for more eff
ficient contact between his
desk sergeants at police head
quarters and the alarm con-
troll center to insure that traf-
fic lights are put at red, and
bells put to work before
any police equipment races
through downtown pedestrian
and vehicle traffic.

Sheriff Warns Farmers
Equipment Thieves in
Surge of Activity

Sheriff noDert w. Ware
warned Imperial Valley
ranchers Monday that 1t
won't do any good to lock
the barn after the tractors
stolen.
Lock up farm equipment before
thieves get to it, the sheriff advised.
Gasoline, tractor parts, tools, and
even large pieces OF farm equip
ment disappeared during the week.
end and some of it was traced across
the border into Mexico for more
than three miles before the trail
was lost
"Ranchers should lock up their
equipment instead of leaving it in
isolated spots on their ranches,
Ware said. Thieves strip the equip
ment OF valuable parts and take
gasoline. Since few ranchers have
a record of the serial numbers on
their equipment it is almost impos-
sible to identify it even if they are
certain we have located the stolen
property"
Those living in the southern part
Of the valley, he said, should be
particularly careful about taking
care Of their equipment.
