I JACKSONVILLE Chief Warns Jaywalkers By MRS. C. S. HOSKINS Jacksonville Police Chief Frank Carter last week cited as evidence a recent near-serious jay-walking incident, that such accidents are not confined to large cities. Not using the cross walks, which are put there and well marked for everyone's pro tection, :ould lead one into a ser ious or perhaps fatal mishap. So to be safe, he said, don't be a Jacksonville jaywalker. Carter also reports that young bicycle riders on Jacksonville streets need a serious reminder that the same rules, regulations and safe driving laws apply to them as well as to automobile drivers. Parents should see that their children are well acquaint ed with the laws before they are allowed to ride bicycles on city streets, he said. The Word Krafters club met at the Alvin Minshall home in Jacksonville June 25. Fifteen members were present and one guest, Mrs. John R. Hamaker. The co-hostess was Mrs. Joe Price. A short business meeting was held and group discussions on various current contests, and refreshments were served. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. E. Eggers at 1021 West 11th it., Medford, with Mrs. Hicks as co-hostess, on the last Monday in July at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Joe Price, Mrs. James Noble and Mrs. John R. Hamaker will pro vide the program. If any readers of this column are former residents visiting in Jacksonville or living at a dis tance, a letter with details about yourself and family would help make this column more news worthy and informative.

(International Soundphoto) Evidence Brings New Verbal Battle Over Colorado River Water San Francisco (U.R A new verbal battle is apparently brewing between Arizona and California over evidence intro duced by Arizona in the legal fight for Colorado River rights. Attorneys for Arizona have introduced three documents, known as the "Blue," "Red," and "White" books, which con tain all bureau of reclamation records and reports on Colora do river water, information on the Central Arizona project, and material used in compiling its definition of "beneficial use of consumptive water." Admits Books Special Master Simon E. Rif- kind admitted the Blue and Red books as evidence, providing Arizona can get witnesses to support the information they contain. The White book, which Arizona relies on most, was thrown out. Arizona indicated Friday that it would not call witnesses in regard to the Blue book, but California objected. R i f kind said they could argue the point Monday. Meanwhile, Arizona contin ued its parade of witnesses to testify to that state's water needs. Victor Corbell of Tempe, president of the Salt River Val ley Water Users association, testified that 30 years ago wa ter supplies in hia area were unlimited, but in recent i i 1 l associated LEAGUE j m m years farmers have been cut to from three to five acre feet an nually.
