Travelling to and from the conference, the delegates and their secretaries undoubtedly will wish to stop off to see as much of California as possible, because in many quarters of the globe it represents the “promised land.” Thus all California forms the background of a conference whose name only will be taken from San Francisco, as mayor Lapham aptly points out.—Contributed. CLYDE RENFROW ~ FREED Mr. and Mrs. Jim V. Woods of Oceanside, of their time here looking after property interests, had a wire from the federal. government stating their son, Clyde Renfrew had been reseued by the U. S. armed forces in the Philippines. Clyde left the United States before war broke out to take responsible position with the Marsman Mining Company. After the fall of the Philippines to the Japs he hid in the mountainous regions a year and entered an enemy prison in 1943. Clyde spent considerable of his childhood at Alleghany while Woods was employed in mines there later moving to Nevada City to enter high school with his sisters. He was a great fisherman and hunter; Renfrew was employed in the local mines before going to the Philippines. AN IDEA FOR EVERYBODY ~ A man in San Francisco named M. D. McVey has an idea that every car owner and driver in the state might well copy. On the window of his auto he has a sign reading: “The driver of this car welcomes riders going. his way.” At a transfer point he passes daily, he displays another sign, giving his route and adding: ““Anybody want a lift>’’ In the first four months of this onen house—or opencar—regime, McVey has given lifts to 823 persons. He says he has had no unpleasant experiences, many pleasant ones. Inside the car he hangs an envelope marked ‘“Take one.” In HEN PHEASANT VISITS S.
