Migrants’ Mecca . . .
Harvesting of California's giant crops of cotton and
grapes has swung into its home stretch. Soon. the last of the
fat white cotton bolls, fairly bursting in its sheath, will have
been plucked, and soon, too, will the last luscious grape of this
year’s banner crop — over a half million more tons than in
1936!
And what of the flivver gypsies and the fruit tramps of
California's legions of migrant workers, 250,000 strong? This
r, as a matter of fact, that man-sized army of some quarter
odd million has been swelled by another 25,000 due to the extraordinarily huge cotton crop.
With winter's rain and chilly weather,on the way, California’s transient problem emerges in all its starkness. And
the problem has beerr made increasingly pressing by the thousands of homeless migrants; many of them Dust-Bowl refugees
who have been swarming into California from other states.
Few Californians there are who have not seen a brood of
these bedraggled refugees living in some makeshift shelter
rigged out of packing boxes, strips of canvas, or a primitive
hut of branches and leaves.
As long as California remains the mecca of the nation’s
dispossessed, certainly the Federal Government must take an
increasingly active hand in lending aid and providing better
housing for these luckless Americans.
And not until all government authorities cooperate in
seeking a solution wil! these unkempt colonies of migrant,
workers and their desolate shacks be vanquished in California .

For better lighting today is both sensibly reasonable as well as scientifically right. Modern lamps
are without fussy, frilly shades that subdue light. ~
Modern lamps instead have light-colored shades that
light a chance to diffuse throughout a room.
More than a half million Better Sight Igmps were
sold last year. Persons who use them say there is
nothing like them. These lamps do give more light,
without glare, and for just a few pennies more a day
than ordinary light that so often causes squinting
