Nothing Bee Nothing : . By A. MERRIAM CONNER : I wonder why I have so many crazy dreams about Ham ‘and Eggs; last night . dreamed the measure had become a law and that . had my first sheaf of warrants. After counting them to make sure . hadn’t been short-changed, I went to the phone and called the grocer. . “Bring me a nice turkey,”’ . commanded airily, “I have “ the warrants here to pay you, ‘so make it snappy.” « He came very promptly and as he stood counting the warrants I had handed him, I unwrapped the turkey which had been deposited upon the kitchen table. Then I simply stood aghast, and stared wide-eyed. 3 “What on earth did you bring this thing for?’’ . shriek-ed, “this is a papier mache turkey; take it back at once — . -€an't possibly use it.” 4 “Well,” he said. looking meachin,’ "I can’t possibly use _your money, so the barter is a fair one, don’t you think?” “T'll report you to the dictator,” I snapped angrily, and I did. “had heard my story. “‘I'll have a lot more warrants run off the , Press and next week I'll see that you get sixty of them instead of thirty.” That promise was most comforting: a double batch of ‘those warrants would help a lot—or would it? _ = . Intimidation Charged . (Berkeley Daily Gazette, August 29, 1939) Merchants, labor leaders, public officials and civic organizations are being urged to report immediately to the “Proper auhorities if boycotfs or intimidation practices are re_ sorted to by leaders of the Ham and Eggs pension movement in.an attempt to prevent their opposition to the pension scheme. The call was issued from headquarters of the Northern California Citizens Against 30-Thursday by Clem Whitaker, campaign director of the Citizens’ group, as a result of ‘complaints that promoters of the pension scheme are seeking ‘to inflame their followers to a campaign of intimidation and boycott. Newspapers that openly oppose this Utopian scheme or publish news unfavorable to the Ham and Eggs plan are particularly vulnerable to reprisals through their subscription lists, which would suffer more than they do but for the fact at few if any of the leading California newspapers are supporting the pension proposal. _ Nor are the newspapers spared the threats of those promoting this weird pension venture, the promises of which have doomed thousands of elderly Californians to bitter disappointment. Ss : Only recently the Gazette was ‘advised none too subtly by a 30-Thursday supporter that this newspapers “does not depend upon its news for profit—it depends ‘upon its advertisers for that—and advertising depends upon circulation.” The warner concluded with the advice to “give this matter some little serious thought.” _. The Gazette has given this matter ( 30-Thursday) serious thought, as has every newspaper in California that has the Interest of the state and its people at heart, and it agrees with U.S. Webb, former attorney general of California, that ‘‘the _90-Thursday plan is a one-way road to ruin and bitter disil_ Tusionment”’ and “‘if the voters should approve it, California would face a depression compared with which the tragic consequences of the existing depression would be insignificant.” and Crown Point groups. Net profit of 2,746,407 pesos resulted from milling 0ff808,352 tons of ore for estimated gross recovery of 6,399,818 pesos during half year period for Balatoc Mining Co., of which Mr. Haussermann is also president and general manager. Expenses totaled 3,166,471 pesos and gross Profit was 3,158,898 pesos. During the half year period, increase in the Seale of milling capacity from 1,200 to 2,000 tons a day, started during During half year ending June 30, 89, operations of Benguet Con“Never mind.” said the all powerful dictator, when he. . sadness in the parting, catenated Order of Hoo Hoo will return to the majestic trees which have outlived so many human generations and again pay loving tribute to the memory of the beloved chaplain, the influence of whose life and character is more fragrant and abiding than the sweet incense of a myriad living trees. IN HIS OWN BACKYARD. Wit, Just Wonperoan I wonder if I may recall The lines the poet. Whittier wrote, . Aind stir your memory with their charm The while I quote. “One may indeed be glad who stands Where Parphar’s fountains rise and fall, But he who sees his native brook Leap in the sun hath seen it all; From his own hill’s ‘the Persian hafiz smiles And Rome’s cathedral awe is in his woodland aisles.” I wonder now, that foreign travel has been severely curtailed and winter-is about to descend upon many sections of America, why Californians cannot satisfy the urge to wanderlust by rediscovering their own Golden Kingdom of the West. This bit of wondering is apropos of something. _ We had been invited to attend the rendezvous with memory, held annually by: the Concatenated Order of Hoo Hoo at the Simpkin's shrine in the grove at Calaveras and elected to drive to our destination via the mother lode highway. We had not visited many of the old towns for a number of years and knew there would be numerous changes well worth seeing and appraising. : Upon a sunlit autumn day, September thirteenth to be exact, we drove from our home, The Cedars, over a portion of the road of a thousand curves, through ,Nevada City and Grass Valley and so on to Auburn; below Auburn we crossed the American river bridge and soon found ourselves in Coloma, where that world up-setting nugget was discovered so many years ago, in a river which, at that time, was literally, “running with feet of silver over its sands of gold.” One would like to linger in every little town along this magic trail, but this we could not do, so on we sped to Placerville. This once roaring camp has taken on an appearance of modernity and joined the march of progress without sacrificing much of its old time color and romance. We now passed through so many historic communities—I wish . could write at length of each and every one of them, but here space forbids. . must however, mention the names of ElDorado, little smiling city of varied fortunes and indomitable western courage; Sutter’s Creek, founded by Captain Sutter in the year 1839, and Plymouth, which sports a wayside sign with this legend: “Six Miles to Fiddletown.” At some point between San Andreas and Angel's Camp we were mysteriously joined by Bret Harte and Mark Twain, and their colorful reminiscences, made the rest of the journey through Murphy's to the Calaveras Grove, a most interesting one indeed. ’ Upon arriving at the grove, we entered upon a two day period of undimmed pleasure. There were no dull moments: every session of the Concatenation’ was replete with amusements, entertainment and instruction. Our greatest joy was found in meeting again with those whose friendship we have held through many years, “and that without capitulation;” ? & At a state board meeting with a record attendance, the officers, directors and unit chairmen of Pro America, ‘National Organization of Republican ‘Women, gave the most careful consideration to and took action on the proposed amendment, referendum measures and proposed law, which are to be placed before ‘. the voters on November 7. Pro America recommendations: Number 1. Retirement Life Payments Act. Thirty warrants will be dangerous and destructive to the credit, the welfare and the best interests of all citizens of California. Vote NO on Number 1. Number 2. Chiropractors. The chiropractors themselves are divided in opinion on the wisdom of this measure. The amendment will undoubtedly lower the standards of medical and health service in California. Vote NO on Number 2. Number 38. Personal Property Brokers, ‘Referendum of Legislative Act." The Act makes for definite improvement in handling the regulation of small loans. Opposition comes from the group which profits heavily by making small loans at large interest rates. Vote YES on Number 3. Number 4. Personal Property Brokers, Referendum of Legislative Act. Legal Aid societies, the attorney general and all better business organizations are in favor of this act. While not a perfect vehicle, the act is well-intentioned and will aid in protecting the poor and unwary. Vote YES on Number 4. Number 5.°Oil and Gas Control,
Referendum of Legislative Act. Oil is a fugitive substance which can be recklessly handled and wasted or carefully handled and conserved. With the single exception of California, every state that possesses great oil fields has adopted some form of state regulation of oil production. If Californians do not decide to attend to the conservation of their own oil and gas, the Federal Government will step in and do the conserving for them. A vote for Number 5 is a vote for wise oi] conservation and state regulation as opposed to federal regulation. Vote YES on Number 5. Pro America urges every good citizen to go to the polls and vote on November 7. anybody quite like Kathryn Meisle, who will sing the role of Fricka opposite Julius Huen’s Wotan in Die Walkuere. _ In Meisle’s own words, “everyone seems to expect singers to lead exciting adventurbus lives. Well, mine is a very well regulated one. I've never missed a train at the crucial moment. I wasn’t a child wonder. I didn’t spring into fame overnight. I’m prompt at rehearsals. I’ve never figured in a divorce suit. I’m happily married. I some times wonder if my private life is not a great disappointment to my public.” and in forming new ties which we shall endeavor to guard with equal tenacity.
