City Mountains Closed to Smoking July 15

The mountain area, withl the City of Los Angeles, will b closed as of July 15 to al smoking, open burning or fire of any nature and will remain closed until after the first fa rains. It is necessary each yea to close this area to smokini and open fires due to the ser ous fire hazard presented by the dry brush and vegetation during the summer months.

All mountain patrolmen of thi Fire Department have been in structed to strictly enforce thesi

gulations and to issue cita tions to appear in court to a

iolators. Strict enforcement isital this year because of th

fact that we are still at waid our available manpower an<sources are all needed to sup>rt our war effort.Each citizen can help to pro

tect our mountains, watersheds and homes by being exceedingly

?ful about smoking when in driving through the m

i area. Only saboteurs intcn tionally start fires, but careless less and thoughtless acts whil in the mountains can and do make saboteurs of average pa triotic individuals. Don't lei this be said of you.

PRIORITY PLAN OF HIRING ENDS BOTTLENECKS

During tho first week of "pri­ ority referral" of most inal workers in the Los. Angeles arei under the government's new manpower program, 10 percent of the critical war production bottlenecks were broken, accord­ ing to announcement today by E. C. Rlnehnrt, acting Southern California manpower director. Some 20 firms were removed from the priority list, he said.

Other highlights of the pro­ gram's operation in Los Ange­ les and Orange counties, as re­ ported to Director Rinehart by Thomas C. Campbell, War Man­ power Commission director for this two-county area:

1. The program is proving ef­ fective In alleviating critical manpower shortages in warplants.

2. Public reaction ly good" with some

"general­ complaint,

however, from employers who are having a more difficult job securing male workers as result of their diversion to jobs of j highest importance to the war j effort. When most critical bot-1 tlenccks are broken, however, i

n expected that there will b< increasing supply of mill"

workers for less-critical induftries.

3. Workers generally are "re spending conscientiously" to thr requirements of the pro/;i"i

just to civilian life and spa them days of "shopping around" for assistance which is available to them.
