Succesor To Santa
To protect California children from losing the “illusion
of Santa Claus,’ Senator Harry Westover of Santa Ana has
proposed a legislative bill that most mothers and dads will approve—to restrict the use of St. Nick’s picture in commercial
advertising. Now, if that works, a 100 per cent job will near
completion. For already, the lavish spending of billions in the
nation’s paternalistic programs has pretty well converted all
grownups who are the least bit gullible—and, of course, who
are on the receiving end of the lineup — to a firm belief in
Santa Claus.
At this point. an achievement of masterly statesmanship
would be the restoration of some measure of the Santa Claus
jllusion to the taxpayer who foots the bills. In his benighted
state, he thinks Santa’s as extinct as a dodo.—Contributed.
Help On The Highway
' Prosnect of a new “highway emergency hospital” on a
stretch of road that has recorded against it one of the blackest
records of casualty and death in the state, is good news to
California. however bitter the situation which necessitates it.
A fine, wide and straicht stretch of concrete, the Bayshore
Highway in San Francisco County, it is reasonable to expect.
should provide safe transit to the millions who travel it. But
it doesn’t. so the hosnital is in prospect.
_ Neither do dozens of other equally fine. modern _highwavs in the state. For the builders and engineers. working
-with their sand and gravel, cement and stone to produce a perfect roadway, have yet to reckon with the nature of the drivers who will use their roads. Drivers entranced by long, level
sweepsiof highway, who step on the gas, weave in and out of
fast moving traffic—and who, in the comfort and ease-of their
powerful cars, forget another power of the modern juggernauts thev ride—the power to destroy and kill.
Until the day when human nature changes, or until the
advent. perhaps, of the much discussed mammoth, one-way
highway systems. there will be too many highway casualties.
And meanwhile, thousands of victims of man’s instinct to get
there quick at whatever cost, will be grateful for the ministrations of the close-at-hand, highway emergency hospitals.—

Athletics Vs. Education
Sports editors are commenting widely on discussion in a
California high school league where one school is accused of
proselyting—luring basketball players from other schools by
material inducements.
The problem, growing nationally and not unknown in
even the smaller communities, is many-sided. The trend seems
toward recognition that if a boy can exchange athletic prowess for school expenses and perhaps a bit of profit, he has the
right to do so.
But that trend begs the more serious problems. Medical
authorities agree that the ’teen-age boy, over-exerting himself
_to gain his material reward instead of playing for the fun of
it, risks permanent impairment of his health. Too, the tempt‘ation is for growing boys to center both interest and ambition
on sports rather than education.
Our schools have faced before the confusing problem of
-mixing athletics and education. To parents, and to taxpayers,
however, the issue is clear. Financed by public funds and
charged with the duty of equipping youth for the struggles
that really count in life—those that come after brief athletic
careers are over—our educational institutions must not, in
their zeal for athletic recognition. violate that charge. Educa, ‘tional values must not be sacrificed—not even to sports.—

WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN
“SCOOP” THURMAN
_ AT THE STATE CAPITOL
The legislature adjourned on
Wednesday of this week for the interim recess and _ will reconvene
again on Monday, March 6.
This week’s short session saw the
appointing of committees in the assembly by Speaker Paul Peek, the
presentation of the administration’s
budget with Governor Olson’s recommendations including his views on
such issues as taxation and direct
relief and a battle in the assembly
on the Senate Joint Resolution;,opposing the proposed Kings iver
Canyon National Park.
The matter of relief is one of the
biggest problems which will face the
legislators this session while the matter of taxation is of equal importance.
There is considerable opposition
in the assembly to aliens receiving
relief. There are two sides to this
alien relief question to be considered and one of them@“is that many of
the aliens 6n relief have American
born children. You cannot cut these
aliens off relief without injuring
their American born children. Persomally the writer wishes that some
way could be found in which to cut
aliens off. If an alien has lived in
this country for twenty or thirty
years. without becoming a citizen we
fail to see why he should have equal)
relief rights with citizens. We have
enough of our own citizens to take
eare of without having to care for
these who have had an opportunity
to become citizens but would not
take advantage of it. It might interest some of my readers to know that
the Weimar Tuberculosis Sanatorium which is operated by some fourteen counties have more than one
hundred aliens as patients. The alien
problem is indeed a problem.
Last week your assemblyman introduced a bill in the assembly which
if approved would place the seven
members of the state board of forestry on a basis of fixed terms instead of the present method of serving at the pleasure of the governor.
If such a law were in effect this important board would always haive
sufficient mem'bers on it who would
be familiar with the work and the
program and the appointing of new
members would in no way handicap
the state division of forestry. Too
many boards are made up of politic, al appointees who have little or no
, knowledge of the work of the board
. to which they have been appointed.
{In addition to the staggered terms
we also have included in the bill a
provision that five of the seven members on the board shall be composed
of one member each from the redwood timber industry, pine timber
industry, agricultural interests, live
stock interests and one familiar with
the conservation of water. The other
two could be appointed at large, All
appointments would continue to be
made by the governor.
. We had the honor last Thursday
of introducing Assembly Concurrent
Resolution No. 10, relative to the recent death of Judge Joseph Jerome
Trabucco of Mariposa county. With
us on the resolution were Assemblymen Johnson, Carlson, Williamson,
Gannon, Millington and Phillips, all
attorneys who knew and admired the
late judge. In the senate your former
jassemblyman, Senator Jesse Mayo
introduced the joint resolution with
both houses of the legislature adjourning on Friday out of respect to
his memory. We were very happy to
be able to introduce this resolution
in honor of a man who typified the
highest type of superior court judge.
A man of honesty, sterling character
and sincerity.
The Senate Joint Resolution opposing the formation of a national
park in the Kings River Canyon was
passed Monday in the assembly by a
vote of 54 to 20. Opponents of the
resolution who favored the proposed
national park were unable to prevent its passage. Your assemblyman
assisted in the passage of the resolution.
‘Committee appointments were
made by Speaker Paul Peek on Monday and your assemblyman fared
very well inasmuch as he was assigned to three committees of particular interest to the sixth district,
the fish and game ecommittee, the
mines and mining committee and the
mittees to which the writer was appointed are labor and capital, introduction of bills, state grounds and
parks, and public charities and corrections.
THE COWBOY AND
THE LADY, AT
THEATRE SUN.
The high, wide and handsome adventures of a_ streamlined social
registrite who causes considerable
eyebrow lifting in Washington’s upper crust when she “middile-aisles
it” with a roving cowboy from the
western plains is both humorously
and dramatically unfolded in Samuel Goldwyn’s “The Cowboy and the
‘Lady,’ co-starring Gary Cooper and
Merle Oberon, which is scheduled
for its initial showing at the Nevada
Theatre on Sunday.
Supporting Cooper as the bronzed he-man from the sage dotted hills
and Miss Oberon as the madcap modern who takes her romance neat, is
a hand picked cast headed by Patsy
Kelly, Walter Brennan, Mabel Todd
and Fuzzy Knight. Miss Kelly, who
mantically paired with Walter Brennan, while Mabel Todd, blonde comedienne, is the ‘‘heart interest” of
fuzzy Knight. In fact, it is these two
honest to ‘good romances which inspired the whirlwind courtship of
Cooper and Miss Oberon and cause a
sizeable dither in the scandal columps.
Among the outstanding sets constructed for the production is a:
palatial Florida mansion, the screen
home of Miss Oberon, the very spot,
in fact, where the impetuous young
damsel pretends that she is a lady’s
maid and proceeds to employ three
experimental methods to ensnare her
man.
The screen play for “The Cowboy and the Lady” was jointly written by S. N. Behrman and Sonya Levien from an original script by Leo
McCarey and Frank R. Adams. — It
was directed by H. C. Potter, for release through United Artists.
