The Harvest Month has arrived with the pleasure of observing the changing colors of the leaves on plants and trees. The air begins to be fresh and somewhat cooler. Daylight begins a little later in the morning and darkness comes a lit- tle earlier in the evening. We start to add orange, yellow and brown to our door wreaths and orange pumpkins show up on our porch or in our pies. While we are enjoying the Fall atmosphere we can also do with a reminder for safety. I promised to add some more cautions from Tehama County Sheriff Wayne Kranig’s little orange book distrib- uted in the 1950s. It appears that several admonitions are still applicable in 2010. The 1950s were good years but still had reminders that people needed to stay safe. The following excerpts remain good tips in our present times. 1. Beware of promoters or sales- men who solicit you by phone. 2. Demand that door to door salesmen, peddlers and solicitors show proper identification and their police permit, if within the city. If they do not have one, call the Police Department of the city in which they are soliciting. 3. Ficticious checks are among the most numerous of crimes in California today. If you do not know the person issuing a check, make positive identification. Demand that the check be endorsed in your presence. The following list from "Law enforcement Is your Business" is mainly cautions for children how- ever some of them can be just as good for adults. Safety in the 1950’s was important. Safety con- tinues to be an issue for all resi- dents in 2010. The following list is headed by: "Play Safe." 1. Don’t accept rides or gifts from strangers. 2. Take the license numbers of strange cars that arouse your suspicion. 3. If strangers loiter around school grounds, tell your teacher. 4. If a stranger stops you on your way to or from school, and asks you to accompany him, run to the nearest house and report it. 5. Don’t ever hitchhike rides. 6. Don’t trust strangers because they are prosper- ous looking, smooth talk- ing or have polished manners. 7. Demand to see the credentials Carolyn Barber of any unknown person who wants to enter your house. If in doubt, call the Sheriff or Police. 8. Under no circumstances should you inform a stranger of your neighbors’ absence. Fifty-five years ago the above information was important for safety and it is important today. Thanks to Sheriff Kranig’s efforts and also to current law enforce- ment officers who work at keeping us aware of safety rules. Speaking of the 55 gone by years, this weekend the Red Bluff Union High School Class of 1955 will be meeting here for their 55th RBUHS Reunion. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be days when these former students will again be touching base with Red Bluff resi- dents. Since I am one of the 1955 graduates I am anxious to connect again with a great group of class- mates. We will talk about the "good old times," at Red Bluff High, the time when the Tremont Hotel still was in tact, the time when Zuckweilers Department Store stood on the corner of Walnut and Main Streets and the times when girls wore skirts and dresses to high school and boys wore blue jeans that were secured at the waist. Yes, we will remi- nisce the old Red Bluff High School building, the teachers, the plays, the football games, the counselors, the princi- pals, the music, the "Bluffer," our school paper and the mischief in which we sometimes engaged. We will peruse the pages of our annual school book, the "Dictum Est," to be reminded of the activities in which we partici- pated and the friends we made. We will again feel young and at the same time recognize that age takes its toll but also gives us new and interesting experiences. The Class of 1955 will acknowledge the importance to "Be on Guard," whether it was fifty-five years ago or in present times. We may even sing our old school song, "On ye, Spartans, On ye Spartans….." Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays. She can be contacted by e-mail at hurcar@yahoo.com.
