FARMERS HIT TRANSFER OF S. F. HARBORBy RALPH H, TAYLOR There are farm issues in superabundance at the 1941 session of the state legislature. In addition to hundreds of specific farm bills —amendments to the Agricultural Code, standardization bills, marketing proposals, dairy acts, live stock bills, quarantine measures, et cetera—there are scores of propositions pending which, if enacted, would have a direct bearing on the farming industry, although they can not be catalogued strictly as farm legislation. The perennial proposal, for example, to transfer the San Francisco waterfront and harbor from. state control to city control has been introduced by Senator John F. Shelley of San Francisco, with increasing indications that the bay city plans to make an all out fight for the bill this year, In a recent speech in behalf of his bill, Senator Shelley declared: ‘‘Our failure to get anywhere. with . this bill in the past was due in no small part to the apathy with which the rural counties viewed our problems’”’. It might be said, with greater truth, that the main reason farm organizations have opposed giving San Francisco control of the port in the past is the apathy with which San Francisco has viewed the problems of agriculture and the rural counties which are dependent on the San Francisco waterfront and harbor to get much of their produce to market. So long as intemperate labor leaders in the bay area disregard the rights and welfare of shippers in interior California—just so long must the City of San Francisco expect a cold reception when it comes seeking aid from the rural counties in transferring the port from state to city control. As a matter of fact— and this is the fact that San Francisco officials have long denied or ignored—San Francisco harbor is not the exclusive property of San Francisco; it is the ocean gateway to all Northern California and the shipping point for hundreds of millions of dollars worth of farm produce from 48 northern counties, And until there is a marked change in sentiment in the city by the Golden Gate, so far as the outlying counties are concerned, the welfare of the state will be best served if the port remains under state control. Mrs. W. C. Williams Is Camptonville Hostess CAMPTONVILLE, Feb. 27.—Mrs. W. C. Williams was hostess last Friday evening at a party given at her home on Main Street. A pleasant evening of cards was spent, with: refreshments served. The following were present: Mrs. George E. Butz, Mrs. M. G. Calvin, Mrs. Olive Hays, Mrs. Frank Meggers, Mrs. Richard Pfiffer, Mrs, J. W. Horeliead, Mrs. Pearl Liest, Mrs. Alvin C. Molen, (Continued from Page One) that failure. So far as our foreign policy is concerned, Mr. Stevens characterized it as two steps forward and two steps backward. It never has been firmly defined over a Iong. term of years, He gave as an instance, the effort of Secretary of State Stimson In the Hoover administration, who very definitely tried to prevent the forceful occupation of Manchuhia by Japan, and who endeavored to enlist the aid of Sir John Simon, British minister of foreign affairs, in an attempt to preserve Chinese territory. It failed because for some reason Britain was not at that time interested. The United States had refused to do its part in the League of Nations which European countries looked to, to preserve world peace, but we were interested in preserving the peace .f{ Asia by protecting China against Japanese encroachment, Regarding the apathy of Americans to what .their government is doing, Mr. Stevens quoted from an author who had classified those who permit matters to drift. There are first the Uptopians, who no matter what happens consider it all for the best in the best possible word. The sitters. ) who are so engrossed in their own affairs and their own nobility, that they have no interest in their country and its government. The kneelers who consider that they} must take whatever happens without . protest, and kneel to all indignities without standing up and fighting, and last; the grabbers, whose parents are sitters and kneelers, and . who go out to ‘‘get theirs,” mew automobiles, money and pleasures, and give no attention to what befalls their country. Germaine Marsh Celebrates Birthday The fifth birthday of Marsh, daughter of Mr. Marsh of 218 Prospect, Street, was celebrated Tuesday with a ; large party attended by her friends, Decor-. ations for banquet for. the youngsters were in red and white and from the ceiling an airplane trailed balloons over the table.
