Many called for peace extras
The peace extra issued by the Tribune at 4 o’clock Monday morning, announcing that the armistice had been signed, is prized by many persons as a souvenir of the event. The extra is of the size of one page of the Tribune. It is in two colors —red and blue, on white paper, combining the national colors. The image contains the form of a shield, an American eagle with outstretched wings resting on the top of the shield, and above the wings a Red Cross emblem. Many compliments have come to the Tribune for its enterprise in presenting the first printed information of the signing of the armistice, in a form that adds to its value as a keepsake. Any one desiring a copy of the extra may procure one at the Tribune office, while they last.

Fluoroscopic chest tests for adults
The first of a new series of fluoroscopic chest examinations for adults of the Healdsburg area will take place Wednesday evening at the high school gym, it was announced this week by officials of the county tuberculosis association. The portable fluoroscope will be set up from 7 to 8:30 p.m.. There is no charge for the tests, as the program is part of the work financed by Christmas Seal funds. Dr. Martin Hutchinson, chief resident physician at the county hospital will direct the tests, assisted by Miss Laura Nichols, school nurse, and Miss Marilou Miller, public health nurse assigned to the Healdsburg area.

Changes to Area A delay plan
A decision by city officials Monday to boost ridgeline densities in the north Area A will send the city’s planner back to the drawing board to revise the draft Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan for the 223-acre region. One unit per acre in the hilly areas will be allowed, and could increase the total number of units by 89. With the potential of density bonuses in other portions of Area A, the total number of units could rise to a worst-case scenario of 681 units. A lengthy public hearing before the city council Monday night raised a number of issues, including school facility funding and a call for a cap on the growth rate in the city.
