vescigation, and final approval, The Sun is happ y to announce that early in 1954 Alpine will be given house numbers on all streets and Highway 80 We have sent the official request to the County Street Add r e s s Coordinator, who reveals that numerous communities desi r ing this facility have piled up a 6 month backlog of work.
This will be of great benefit to every resident and property owner in directing friends to an address, for all eme r genc ie s , f i re, pol i ce , ambulance, doctor, delive r ies and so on. We interrogated the assessor, tax collector, electric and p h one (MOH OM PAGE 15)

At the election of Alpine Youth Center, Mrs. �ary Doer r was reelected for the third year. Jerry Klipp becomes vice-president; Mrs.

Little Linda Williams is mourning the disappearnace of her puppy Butch who left home sometime last week and didn't return. If anyone has seen him, a small white dog with a black head, please call H4-2913 and make a little girl happy again.
Sgt. Norman Reabold is home from Okinawa for a wonderful 30 days' leave with his parents here. He was 26 months overseas, will be out of the army in January.
The Grossmont Hospital au xiliary will have its meeting Aug. 14, at 10 a.m. in the La Mesa woman's club. All interested are welcome.

place. (Or some other more difficult direction.)
How long have Alpine folk thus suffered in di'recting friends to their homes- for many years, but within a few months this will be forever remedied due to the persistence of The Sun in working for the allotment of house numbers on all local roads.
Another matter is the placing of a highway sign at Tavern rd. and Hiway 80 informing people that it is Tavern road. We are working on this and hope to accomplish something real soon. Our officials are busy and funds have to be spread thin, but this is a mu st for all who Jive along this pri mar y county road.
One lady called us to relate how a ma n ref used to buy in A l pine because th' highway sign told him it had a population of 410. That must be remedied. We have about 2400 livin g here now .
