Insurance Commits
siOner Issues Christ
mas Season Warming

State Insurance Commissioner
Lawrence E. Ensor in his annual mes
sage OF warning issued at the Christ
mas Season had tke following to say:
"The Christmas Season is again
upon US. 1t is the time of celebration
and good cheer, yet throughout our
country many homes may be made
sorrowful and unhappy by the care
lessness of home folks during this
Christmas time.
The records of the past are replete
in fires and accidents during this sea-
son, and so it is my hope that the
citizens of our State will exercise
caution against fires and accidents.
AS your State Fire Marshal and
Insurance Commissioner, l sinceerly
trust that you will warn the children
in your homes against the use OF
matches, and that you will keep them
from flammable materials. That you
will check the wiring on your Christ
mas Tree and the electrical equip
ment about your home. We know
that many fires are caused by over
loading electrical equipment. We also
know that the unusual accumulation
of paper and refuse during this sea-
son creates a fire hazard, so would
urge you to take every precautioA
against fires.
Hotels, night clubs, stores, and
other meeting places of the public
should be carefukay checked for fire
hazards. 1t is extremely dangerous to
use flammable decorations in public
places"
The Insurance Department solicits
your cooperation and support to
make this Christmas one free from
fire.

HOLLYWOOD, March 7.-The news the whole world is waiting for well, anyway that portion of it you can hit by throwing a rock from Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street will be disclosed to- night when Oscars" for preemin- ence in moviemaking's various cate gories will be awarded at a starch ed shirt and low necked affair at Grauman's Chinese theatre.
 Tonight's award session marks the partial return to normal, or what passes for it in Hollywood.
 The awards will be announced between 9:30 and 10:30 D. m. (Pac- fife Standard Time).
 General opinion seems to be that Ray Midland will cop top male act ing honors for his performance in "The Lost Week End" although the perennial Bing Crosby has some support for his work in "The Bells Of St. Mary's." The same sources say that the feminine award will go either to lustrous-eyed Joan Crawford for her Mildred Pierce" or to Ingrid Bergman, who starred with Bing in Bells"
