Moss, J. Mccoy [253 CalApp2d Page 482] Avelino Arboleda, an employee of the Trinidad Hotel in Palm Springs, was killed in an automobile accident on Friday, the 13th of May, 1966.

There is nothing in the record to indicate that Mr. Arboleda was provided with a place at the hotel to rest during the afternoon [253 CalApp2d Page 488] interval. It cannot be said, therefore, that the shorter advance notice which he received resulted in greater additional risk to him than the five-day notice given to Mr. Arboleda.
