By Fay. The energy crisis hasn’t bothered my holidays a bit so far. The weekend before Christmas found plenty of Stations open and they seemed to have plenty of gasoline. I did notice lots of little independent stations closed. This is probably what the whole thing is about. Someone said we are usingit 3 took me a little over three hours more time. It also took another food stop and several Stops in Rest Areas for short naps. So plan on 15 hours instead of 10. I hear you have been having rain but the weather here, in Pasadena at least, fog near the ocean. We have visited relatives in _12 homes and one convalescent home and haven’t made a dent in the list yet. We have also taken in the Lion Safari and the Huntington Library and Gardens. There are just a lot of places we won’t be able to make this trip for I shall be home again on the 2nd of January. —R&R— It’s bedlam here. When we leave my Aunt’s home in Pasadena we carry with us a map of the Los Angeles Freeway system which is enormous and befuddling to a hayseed like me. She also carries a map of L.A. county, Orange county, San Fernando Valley and of the L.A. Central area. Freeways can get you there in a hurry if you are smart enough to outwit them. Visited the home of a cousin in Bell Canyon the other day. She considers she lives in San Fernando Valley. It was 40 miles from Pasadena and solid people. How lucky we are in Nevada county. It will be at least 30 extra miles to the Airport to greet my sister from Hawaii the day I leave and it’s considered on my way home. How lucky we are in Nevada county. —R&R— Our first safari was Lion Country Safari. Sounds kind of exciting but entirely unbelievable that you can drive through a series of Compounds that are comparable to their home land and see African animals running free just as they would in Africa. You can believe it! Don’t ever take the Santa Ana Freeway to get there. It was awful. Bumper to bumper 6 lanes of total bedlam. There was a bad wreck and it took us 1% hours instead of the % hour usually required. Lion Country is entirely delightful. Expensive but worth it! Lions come up to your window and check to see if you look tasty enough . to make it worth while. Each type of plains or river country had its own fence and gate attendant. They were up in high outlook stands in a position to close gates if needed. They also have Jeep wagons with big bumpers to do a bit of pushing for the protection of the visitor. We only had that action once for our Safari. In the first Compound our road entered we found several species of the cloven hoofed animals and a flock or herd or whatever of Ostrich. They appeared to be playing a game with us tourists. They may have been angry. They stamped about and pumped those big dangerous wings of theirs about. It seemed to me they were bored and just wanted a little fun. They lined up solid across the road and no one could get through. When the attendant noticed the hold up he came and bumped the rascals off the road. About half the crowd got through before they lined up again. That time he really drove them back. The Lions were in the second Compound and they were really exciting. We were late because of the holdup on the Freeway and my Aunt said they were lazy because they had just been fed. They were active enough to suit me. One big fellow, must have been the leader of his Pride, got up and ambled over toward our car. We had already been within 30 feet of them. I got ready to leave. He was only coming over for a drink. After he drank his fill and sharpened his claws on a. tree for awhile he laid back down but watched us. In another Pride one came to the window of the car ahead of us, I got ready to leave again. They do look just like big pussy eats. ‘They roll over on their backs oncé in a ~ Rough and Ready News Dunbar all milling around on the road. They are really enormous. There was a big ahead of us and one fellow walked up to it and started licking right off the top. One actually brushed the car as he ambled past us. He reached down and tested the top of the car too. He was beautiful. His coat looked so soft you could hardly keep from the window to pat him. His body was exactly even with the car window. We saw eight Tigers. They say the Tiger is an endangered species. Maybe this kind of thing will be the answer. Most were beautiful. Some were a bit raggedy. There were at least four fairly young ones. There was a Compound of Cheetas but we couldn’t get too close to them. None ran so they were kind of a disappointment to me. They also had Rhinoceros, Happopotamus and Elephants. Of course there were beautiful African birds, Zebras, tiny Thompson Gazelles and I am sure I missed many interesting things. We were fortunate enough to see a tiny baby Zebra getting its breakfast. Believe me natural stripes are beautiful no matter how mixed up they get. In the Compound, for baby animals who are abandoned by their mothers, we saw about % dozen Lion cubs. They had been bottle fed by humans. They looked even more like lovable overgrown house kittens than did their grown up ancestors. I did notice tho’ that the breakfast they has just finished was raw meat. —R&R— Yesterday several of the family visited the Huntington Library, Museum and Gardens. Ours was what the brochure calls a brief visit. We spent about 2% hours there. The Library has seven Exhibition Halls. I really saw and enjoyed just five small exhibits. The Gutenberg Bible is magnificent. They were only 200 printed in the original printing. There are only 12 known copies left. It was the first book printed with movable print. It is larger than I had expected. Unexpectedly too, the pages we could see in the case seemed to have some sort of color. Fading with age perhaps. The Ellesmere manuscript of Chaucers Canterbury Tales, a handwritten letter of instructions by General Washington to his troops during the Ohio Indian skirmishes, the Indian Treaty after those wars printed by B. Franklin in 1747, and a letter home from a miner in Placerville were really the only items I saw in our quick trip. The Art Museum was beautiful. There is a collection of small bronzes that is extraordinary. The brochure calls them ‘a notable collection of Rennaissance bronze statuettes.” I am not an artist nor even a true connoisseur of art work but these were things of rare ‘beauty discernable even to me. The Museum was started in 1914. It was the Huntington family residence until 1927. There are seven principal galleries and fifteen smaller ones. The chandeliers in the home are worth the effort to get there. There is no admission charge. We had only a superficial look at the Japanese and Desert gardens but it made me determined to go again>I am not a desert lover but I must admit the Desert garden was a \ fascinating experience. For you readers’ sakes I wish they had given us a number of different species shown there. It would make it more believable. We walked for at least a mile. The — garden covers 10 acres. It is the largest garden of cacti and other succulents in the world. The nearby Palm Garden has 200 specimens from both hemispheres and occupied two acres. There were 7 acres of Camillias comprising 1500 varieties in the Japanese gardens. This garden was started in 1905. It includes shrubs and trees from every continent. The Japanese buildings were quite delightful. The whole experience was delightful. armHiogowmwea>:a — ee a 6 6 eRe ‘ene om ee aoe a ee er ae a ee a . ee Mace
