LEGISLATIVE ODDITIES
A bill to regulate star-gazing and another requiring
pedestrians to display a patch of white on their clothing during the twilight hour are two of the traditional run of legislative oddities introduced in the January session.
Qualified astrologers would be !Icensed by a new board
astrological examiners: under a measure introduced by Assemblyman Everett Burkhalter of Los Angeles. Only applicants of 25 years of age, two years residence in the state
and five years of study and practice in astrogoly would be
eligible. Members of the board would have to be astrologers
too, with ten years experience.
Assemblyman O'Day of San Francisco would require
“every pedestrian upon a highway or street at any time from
half hour after sun-et and a half hour before sunrise’! to wear
white armlets “‘or other white article of clothing or shall carry
an object or article that exposes, horizontally in all directions,
a white surface to public view of rot less. than two square
_ inches.”
Butchers selling horse meat for human consumption
would be obliged to say so—in signs with letters at least a
foot high—under a measure introduced by Senator Burns, .
Fresno county, and others. ce
: Hazing would be prohibited in any school, college or university which receives anproprietions or grants or tax exemptions from the state, under a bill introduced by Senator Swan
of Sacramento. : ; .
To ‘ease a discipdinary problem” the law forbidding
‘sale of tobacco to minors. would be relaxed under AB 1183,
Potter. The measure would permit the sale of tobacco to minors, especially in-state youth correctional schools, who are
under the age of 18 years, upon the written consent of the
parents, guardian or lega! custorian.
The California Bear Flag will fly over all public institutions in the state as well as over theatres and hotels, if SB 701,
Tenney and Burns, becomes law. The measure would require
display of the state flag along with the stars and stripes, over
all public buildings, at the entrance of every park, in all school
and over college grounds, at every automobile service station,
over the entrance of every theatre or other amusement place
during businss hours, at athletic games and over all hotels of
two stories or more. —UP.
. 4, ,.$AGA OF THE
NARROW GAUGE
(Continned from Page One)
the cages slipped over the-edge of a flat car just as it was
rounding the curve. The couplings held and tipped both locomotives over on their sides; the first with John Duffv and
Bill Mutton; the second with Dan Couchlin and Toe Duffy.
None of the crew was seriously injured but a 17 year old boy:
from Colfax and one of the cirens emnloyzes were killed. The
combined loss was about $10.000. That was the !ast circus
that shipped over the Narrow Gauge.
In early November, 1928, the present steel bridge over
Bear River was completed. One of the highest in the country,
it stands 196 feet above the river—90 feet higher than the S.
P. bridze which crosses over the Narrow Gauge. By building
this bridge the company were able to eliminate the bridge over
Greenhorn, to do away with a lot of curavture and to shorten
the line by two miles.
The fastest time ever made between Colfax and Nevada
City is said to have been 35 minutes, or about 35 miles .an
hour. Bill Mutton brought two coaches over in the record time
of 44 minutes. The fastest known walking time goes to no
other than our well known citizen George Calanan—in his
younger days of course. It appears that George had arrived at
Colfax on a Sunday about midnight and it being a cool and
loudness night his Scotch instinct got to arguing with him
that by counting the ties he not only could save ‘the railroad
fare but the price of the bed and breakfast at the local hostelry
as well. Fear of the dark Jent wings to his strides and he arrived at home just in time—according to his wife —— to put the
boiler on for Monday's anit % :
To saythat the rails have given way to progress is one
way of looking at it but there are those who cannot console}
themselves with that thought. When it comes to real comfort
and pleasure in traveling I believe the most of us would not
hesitate to choose the railway, where we can read, doze or
move about with plenty of elbow room knowing that we are
as safe as though we were at home.
One who has not gazed out of the window of his berth at
night from the rear of a speeding train and watched the glare
fromthe fire box door and the beam of the headlight as it
__ plays on wooded hillsides has missed some real-romance. There
is something majestic in the power and appearance of the iron
horse that no other means of locomotion has been able to
achieve. :
As far back as the truck is concerned it cannot compete
with rail transportation on anything like an even footing.
Consider for example an average freight train going over the
hill every day. It consists of 70 cars loaded with an average
capacity of 25 tons each, or 1750: tons. It is hauled by three
locomotives and a crew of 13 men.
. This same’ tonnage would require 175 ten-ton trucks
with a corresponding number of drivers, or more than 13
times the personnel. In the middle west so-called “‘hot shot”

meet this competition.
In the brief space of 67 years as time goes, the railroad
has come and gone. ‘ Its.era has covered the best and most
prosperous years the county has ever enjoyed and with it has
passed those men whose life was given over to its operation.
John F. Kidder, Charles Loughridge, Gene and Ollie Clark,
Mike Craig, Dan Coughlin, Bill Mutton, Duffy Brothers,
Tom Nolan, Jim McCormick, who was always on hand to inspect the running gear no matter how late the train happened to be.
Only Charles Tegler and Tom Kennedy of the old timers remain, but Tom is still very much on the job at the company’s Grass Valley terminal after 52 years with the railroad.
‘ -Memories of the past still remind us of the old gate at
Grass Valley station that kept people off the platform until
they were opened 30 minutes before train time; of president
Kidder in shirt sleeves, with arms akimbo, trying to be all
places at once; of the noisy mauling and dropping of. innumerable drummer's trunks, which were the bane of the
hotel roustabout; of the bus to the National and the genial
Brothers Rector who never missed a train .and were real
hotel men; of the times the train was held a few minutes until we arrived all out of breath. These and many other
thoughts remain with us in the shadow of the departing Narrow Gauge. ‘
JUST WONDERIN’
I wonder when we hear the call
Of open roads once more
And freely follow at our will
From hill to wave swept shore,
If we will choose familiar ways,
Or strange, new trails explore.
I wonder what our experiences will be when war time
bans are lifted and we are again at liberty to answer the call of
the open road—to visit distant friends, old home towns and
areas of recreational pleasure and relaxation. Many familiar
highways will be changed, some of them will probably be
wider, sartighter and perhaps smoother. In some sections we
shall find that dangerous curves have been eliminated, grades
improved and safety devices installed. Then we shall see that
some unnecessary roads have been abandoned while new highways and byways lead away from main thoroughfares and invite the traveler to seek new scenes and fresh adventures.
Yes, war which has changed so many things that affect
our daily living has not overlooked the roads by’ which we
shall again travel to and fro and up and down as business demands and pleasure beckons. Strange, that from the holocaust
of war some good should come even to the thoroughfares of
our far flung land; but such is the curoius anomoly of ‘evil,
the strange interweaving of good and bad which form the
fabric of life. :
And now, what of the highways, byways, lanes and trails
of the human mind? Over and through them, our thoughts
have traveled comfortably, complacently, even smugly for
more years than we care to mention. at
These mental thoroughfares by which our thoughts
reach desirable or undesirable destinations, were laid down and
well worn long before we appeared upon the earthly scene
and prepared to use them. Many were fashioned by the ancients, others by our remote ancestors, still others by our.immediate progenitors. Father’inherited them and, finding them
to his liking, recommended them to our use. Thus it is that we
are sometimes heard to say, ““what was good enough for father is good enough for me.”
Is that true? In the dawning light of a new and better age,
surely there must be repairs and improvements to be made.
We must forever abandon the noisome lanes that lead to the
beast infested jungles of superstition and intolerance. We
must span the seething streams of hate, envy and spite with
bridges of love and understanding. When peace comes to the
world, there will-be new vistas to acclaim, new frontiers to
cross, new horizons to explore. Therefore, let us examine our
mental thoroughfares, remembering always that — .

OPEN SESSIONS
FOR GOVERNOR'S
COUNCIL MEETS
By JOHN W. DUNLAP
SAICRAMENTO, March 8.—(UP)—
Governor Warren hopes he can do
something to change the public misconception that public employes are
no-aeccount.
One aim in that direction is to take
full advantage of the,monthly meetings of his cabinet, and insist that
they serve a_ useful purpose. He
wants this council to-be a sounding .
board for state government and a'
clearing house of good, ideas for eco-.
nomy and business like administra-.
tion.
During the Olson administration,
cil dropped almost io zero. Many .
cabinet members failed to attend and
little good resulted. But from now
on, every member attends ‘or else’
and a program will be worked out
in advance to stimulate discussion on
mutual problems.
For example, if the director of motor vehicles saved 350,000 car miles
in one month by pooling rides in his
department (which was an actual
fact in January), other department
heads could quickly learn the details
at the governor’s council meeting.
All of them have personnel problems,
draft and resignation situations, various other things which they can
seek advice from their fellow directors.
Particularly in wartime, ictal
Warren sees in his council a form 9f}
board of directors for the biggest .
single business in California. No big
corporation would dream of operat-}
ing without conferences of executives .
and directors. It is: just as important
that state heads meet and enjoy free
discussion.
What is more important, newspapermen attend these sessions rep-.
resenting the public. There are no.
star-chamber meetings. .
After holding his first council,
meeting, in fact, and citing that all.
records of previous meetings were;
not available, Warren called the ie
porters into a huddle and quizzed
them on the conduct of council meetings in previous ce unin gey
.
what they felt could be accomplished,
and how he could get the most advantage from them. It wasn’t the.
first time Warren had sought the ad-;
vice .of newsmen.
In his many years of public life,
the governor has enjoyed what is
known as a ‘‘good press”? because he
understands the problems: of newspapermen and respectsstheir opinions.
TRAFFIC DEATHS
Every hour that ticked off during
1942. found three persons meeting
death in traffic accidents, reports the
California State Automobile Association. The 1942 traffic fatality aggreate of 28,000 was approximately
30 per cent lower than that of 1941.
