Eleanor Glynn had a name for “‘it’”’, and it’s still a potent
factor in our every-day lives. E. Durling, Los Angeles columnist, tells how it is turned to economic use now by the restaurants of Los Angeles. They hire gals there now who are stunning with “‘it’’, and reap a golden harvest as a result. And
he adds that the girls, who earn about $30 a week (both wages and tips) have great rivalry for their jobs, with many on
the waiting list. For once the south is a bit behind the times.
Fd Bedell of the Clunie Hotel in Sacramento, long ago realized the pulling power of beautiful girls and helped make his
coffee shop the big success that it is by that means. Only he
refers to them as girl athletes—healthy outdoor girls, all pro: ficient at some type of outdoor sport. How long will it be before other industries follow the lead of the restaurants? A
Long Island filling station is said to have increased its sales 20
per cent by hiring beautious young women attendants.—Oroville Mercury.

They Turned To Washington
&
Like men in a tiny ship, they were, those founding fathers who dared to cast off the lines that bound them to Engd and set out in treacherous seas on a course never sailed
before—the course of democracy.
"Fhe ship was well-manned, with Jefferson, Franklin,
Adams, bee and all the rest. But for captain they needed that! mamamong them who had most of strength and courage and devotion to their cause. Who would it be? Almost instinctively, they->knew. _ ;
And they turned to George Washington.
Probably Washington never dreamed that a nation second to none in the history of the world would grow out of that
~early voyage, and would pause on a day 205 years after his
birth, to honor him as we are doing now.
But it was Washington, with his steadfast vision of a
people free and united; who brought our country through that .
perilous period of infancy when it was fragile and might easliy have broken to bits.
His courage in the face of physical danger first, it was,
which saw us through the Revolutionary War. Had he once
quavered, America might have been doomed to become another Ireland, with a long, bloody struggle for independence
lasting perhaps into the twentieth century.
His mental courage later held the states together in the
confused days following the war. Had he given an inch then,
there would be no great nation here today, but a conglomeration of petty principalities. °
_ From the signing of the Declaration of Independence in
1776 until his death in 1799, Washington was the leader, the
captain of democracy, the one staunch pillar supporting the
genesis of America.—Contributed.

Silence In The Courtroom
While the tempest over the Supreme Court rages and the
nation girds itself for a fight to a finish in this historic verbal
civil war, a matter involving somewhat similar issues faces us
right here in California.
Public confidence in our courts, public faith in their capacity to deal out justice, public respect for democratic processes of law and order—these are today being needlessly disturbed in our state. They are being jarred by talk of “‘frameup’ in the so-called Modesto dynamiting case.
Last week a special committee of our legislature began
its inquiry into the case of the eight who were sentenced a
year ago for their part in a plot to blow up a hotel where some
sailers were staying during an oil tanker strike.
This committee will learn that the Superior Court of
Stanislaus county, the Stafe Appellate Court, the State Supreme Court, and the U. S. Supreme Court have all affirmed
the guilt of these men. It will learn that the Stanislaus county
grand jury just this month reviewed the frameup story and
found it without basis in fact. All these courts Have spoken.
Let there now be silence in the courtroom.
In the nationwide Supreme Court controversy, many
people feel that the future of democracy is at stake. . What
must those Californians feel who have heard not the facts, but
just this talk about a California court frameup, and who give
_it credence? Doubts about the courts, doubts about personal
liberty, doubts about the very underpinnings of democracy.
Let the dissenters think.of the harm they are doing. Let
them review the facts and cease their clamor. We face enough
real threats to democracy these days without having false ones
_ raised to haunt us.—Contributed.

STATE DONATES
$1.221418 FOR
FLOOD RELIEF
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—With
more than a half million refugees
still moving homeward following
the disastrous floods in the Ohio
and Mississippi Valleys, the National Red Cross estimates some 250,000
affected families will require help
in rehabiltation, Admiral Carey T.
Grayson, national Red Cross chairman, advises Pacific Area chapters.
To expedite the family rehabilitation, ten regional offices have been
established by the Red Cross. They
are situated. in West Virginia, Ohio,
Kentucky, Indiana, Tlinois and Arkansas.
Housing facilities now constitute
a major problem for the disaster reIt has been necessary
to establish some tent and boxcar
colonies and to provide temporary
housing. A number of schools which
were first used as emergency shelters have since been evacuated to permit the resumption of classes.
Revised figures show 1,205,256
persons were affected in the flood
zones. Of-this number 748,229 were
under Red Cross care. The Red Cross
had in operation 946 concentration
camps and_ shelters. It had 300 field
hospitals and immunization centers
in which more than 1,500 Red Cross
nurses were on duty. Persons sick in
these emergency hospitals numbered
4,288.
A broad program of education and
recreation for men, women and the
children in all refugee centers is being conducted. Junior Red Cross
workers are directing special projects, Games, books and toys have
been made available to hospitalized
youngsters as well as those able to
be in camps.Athletic events, picture
shows and theatrical performances
provide entertainment for the adults.
In response to Chairman Grayson’s appeal, the national relief fund
is in excess of $20,000,000. Of this
total the Pacific Area contributed
lief workers.

CALIFORNIA GOLD
OUTPUT 24 PCT.
OF U.S. TOTAL
According to preliminary figures
the total mine production of gold in
the. United States (territories ineluded) amounted to 4,329,273 fine
ounces in 1936, which represented
an inerease of 640,364 fine ounces,
or 17 per cent, over the 1935 production of 3,688,909 fine ounces.
The 19936 production was worth!
$151,524,555, which was $22,412,-.
740 or 17 per cent greater than the .
The .
price of gold in both years was $35 .
per fine ounce. The increase in production for 1936 over 1933 was 651
per cent in quantity and 126 per
cent in value, and for. 1936 over
1932 the increase was 68 per cent in
quantity and 185 per cent in value.
The disparity between the quantity
and value increases. reflects, of
course, the 69 per cent increase in

FOUR YEAR REGIONAL
COLLEGES ARE OPPOSED
Members of the California state
Legislature this week are reviewing
the report of the State Council on
Educational Planning ‘and «© Co-ordinatidn, a new printing of whicn
has been completed. The law-makthus are considering officially
the findings of an important advisory body appointed under authority
voted by the legislature itself.
The purpose of the plan outlined
in the .report, developed with the
unanimous approval of the Planning
Coungil in 1935, is to preServe the
most effective and most economical
relationship between the State University, the junior colleges, and the
teachers colleges. The report strongly opposes expansion of teachers
colleges into four-year regidnal colléges. It does not give approval of
junior colleges assuming that status.
The members of the: Planning
Council are Will C. Wood, chairman;
Charles Albert Adams, Allen T. Archer, Annie Florence Brown, Mrs.
William J. Hayes, Vierling Kersey,
Gurney E. Newlin, Chester H. Rowell and Robert. Gordon Sproul.
Opponents Of the creation of a
chain of four year ‘colleges in California are urging thorough consideration of the planning council report because bills now, before the
state legislature propose establishment of new tax-supported fouryear colleges or universities in several parts of the state, added to the
present facilities _in-—higher education. This would involve needless
duplication, it is charged, and would
saddle the state with excessive expemse. The Statewide Committee on
Higher Education, of which John L.
McNab is chairman and Aubrey
Drury is secretary, is among the organizations, active against the creation of a chain of four-year regional colleges, urging that voters communicate with their state legislators
requesting them to oppose such proposals and to uphold the report of
the planning council.
