The city will join with the California Highway Patrol to assure the success of the tetter's rodeo September 9 and 10. There's no telling what will happen when all those gasoline broncs get to roaring around among outlaw horses and the wild steers. It ought to produce an effect worth seeing.

Upland Is particularly happy to aid the officers' benefit affair because September 9 Is Pioneer Pilgrimage Day. The parade and other features were omitted last year because of economic conditions. The celebration ought to be revived. John Steven MGroarty said at the time of the dedication of the Madonna of the Trail statue on Foothill Boulevard in Upland that the portrayal of pioneer times was one of the most authentic he had ever seen. I wonder what he will think of the motorcycle invasion this year! Let me have just one more word about those voracious oak-tree moths which have been stripping the ancient trees from Montecito to the Ojai Valley.

They have developed, a stomach ache and what. a stomach ache! The story is soon told. At first appearance In the spring the worms later developing Into moths were fat, long and vigorous. They ate oak leaves and left the trees bare. Then a little wasp came along and slowed up their depredations for a while.

He couldn't stand the gaff, though. The moth worms went right on foraging. But their course Is about run now. According to Ventura County Agricultural Commissioner A. H.

Call, as related to Roy Pinkcrton of the Ventura Star, the worms have developed an internal parasite. Instead of being fat and vigorous, the latest generation of worms is thin and anemic with a decreasing appetite. Pretty soon they will have played out a victim of gluttony and natural enemies. What a striking parallel to some gluttons who don't have to crawl on their stomachs. It has been so cool at some of the beaches during the inland's hot spell that the residents have hesitated to go outdoors without bundling up.

This ought to give the peddlers at Long Beach an idea. They could crate up a couple of camp trailers full of nice, cool, wet beach fog and rent them out to sweltering citizens of San Bernardino, San Fernando, Indio and other purlieus of Tophet. The charge would be based on the length of time the cooling off process required. If anybody starts out with one of these fog carts, please drop by my house, too. I'll rent It by the day.

All election board officers will serve without pay tomorrow at the special election to vote on a $95,000 bond issue for the erection of a new City Hall to replace the structure wrecked by the earthquake last March.

Since a previous poll on a proposition to issue bonds for construction of a new City Hall 'resulted, on June 6. last, in the defeat of the proposal by a narrow margin, proponents of the bond Issue have this time taken extraordinary measures to insure a big vote tomorrow, their belief being that the previous defeat was due to the apathy of the electorate.

And the Fuller-ton Hawks, "twelve high school boys who have met weekly for two and one-half years to study aerodynamics, are surely the benevolent type of hawk. Undertaking the teaching and training of at least eighty young Hawks is a part of their summer plan. Interested in airplane engineering and construction since 1913, when he was a small boy, Dr.

George L. McCelland, Fullerton optometrist, while, exercising his hobby of building model wooden planes, heard of the remarkably light South American Balsa wood. He began using this material, making a plane weighing three ounces, which if constructed of pine would have weighed at least sixteen. Dr. Mc-Clelland's planes not only flew, but they remained ia the sir, and when they decided to land, they landed right side up, without crashes.

The children marveled, and the big boys arranged for instruction in the art of building real planes. Flying in big planes was out of the question. It was dangerous and expensive, and parents have a way of objecting to the most fascinating thing. The Fullerton Hawks Model. Aircraft Club was organized, with plans to meet weekly for study and practical experiments in miniature aeronautics.

The garage at the home of Dr. McClelland was made into a workshop and during the last two and one-half years, machinery and equipment necessary to any up-to-date testing labored ory has been added. The membership has been limited to. twelve. A waiting list has been steadily growing, Experiments have been confined to planes of the "high performance" type, which fly at high speed, carry and drop bombs, parachutes and lay smoke screens, and have other highly specialized features, with, special DOUBT ON LOSSES planes.

As a result of the great interest shown in the work, a number of parents of younger boys have begged McClelland to start a new group, a junior organization, so the Fullerton Hawks have established headquarters in the front of the north wing of the California Hotel, where instruction of boys over 10 years of age will be given by Hawk members. There will be no dues and during the last few days more than eighty boys, whose average age is 12 years, have arranged for instruction in the building, and flying pf rubber-propelled stick gliders. Charles Gruber, president, and Richard Carlyle, past president, plan to be at the clubrooms dally throughout the summer. They have prepared an exhibition of models of monoplanes, biplanes, seaplanes, autoglros, etc by members, as well as photos of the various latest developments In aircraft design. All materials needed for the work, model motors, propellers, wire, wood, wheels, etc, are being stocked at the club headquarters.
