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.”

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.

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.”

Ever in the role of the willan of
ithe piece which the canons of operatic composition ‘invariably assign
to the baritone voice, Melchoir discovered his tenor birthright while
touring the Scandinavian countries
