MRS. L. NORMAN OWLER, president of the Ridge
Road Garden Club and Sierra Nevada Memorial
Hospital Administrator Lloyd Hamilton study landscaping plans for another area of the new wing of the
hospital.
"Notes off
By P. L.
It is simply beautiful up here
in God’s Country today —
Sunday, March 18. I’m_ back
from a rather typical ‘Smith
vacation”. .°. it rained
generously nearly everywhere I
set foot. Oh, there was a sunny
afternoon one day in Fresno,
and the clouds rolled away
briefly over Coalinga and the old
Mustang Grade country — alive
with golden poppies and royal
purple lupine.And, I must admit
it wasn’t too bad while I was
surveying the UC campus at
Santa Cruz or visiting my old
hometown, Mountain View. But
the rest of it was “‘Rain, rain, go
away”. . . and please, don’t
bother to come back any day!
That was the case during the
first half of my two weeks away
from it all. The second part
turned out a bit better.. do you
know. it actually hit 67
degrees one day yp in Quincy!
NOD si.
couple of great days up yonder
in Plumas county just before
returning home. :
Fresno really astounded me. .
. it had been such a long time
between visits there. That
downtown mall is something to
be seen no matter what takes
you to that area. And their
convention center is something
else again. Whoever dreamed
that one up certainly has a wild
imagination — architecturally
speaking, that is.
They’ve had it rough down
there, weather-wise, all winter.
Orange groves stand as mute
testimony. water,
places. Oranges lying on the
rround. . . frozen and inedible. . .
really wanted to go up-country
into the Parks. . . but time and
weather voted me down.
“eR KS
sure enough, had a:
water .
everywhere and all in the wrong ©
the Cuff”
Smith
Visited Kingsburg briefly. . .
that’s the town which has gone
‘Swedish’ to a degree —a bit on
the order of Danish Solvang.
They have a unique railroad
Station there. . . really old and
eye-catching.
Enjoyed shore dinners and
some excellent Spanish meals
over in old Monterey.
especially on the famous wharf
and on Cannery Row. Did a lot of
window shopping in Carmel and
came to the conclusion o
e can do just as well or better in
our local boutiques, galleries
and antique shops any day.
We've got so much to brag about
and to be thankful for up here, as
far as ‘‘doing the-tourist bit’’ is .
concerned.
That University of California
campus at. Santa Cruz was a
delight to see. With several
colleges. completed and a
number more to go. . . it really
does impress. Those stately
redwoods running down to meet
the beautiful Pacific combine to
inspire and thrill, certainly.
f you should chance to visit that
area, do not pass up the opportunity to visit ‘‘Cooper
House’’ in downtown Santa
Cruz. . . it is most interesting
and ‘‘entertaining’’ to say the
least.
Had a delightful visit, in
Mountain View, with a long-time
Nugget subscriber — John
O’Halloran. He’s the city
manager there and a very fine
chap. . . who plans to come up
and see Bob Paine sometime
soon. Owns some property at
Lake City and has.a love for and
appreciation of this county
which he readily voices. ‘
It was a good two weeks. . . but
believe me — I’m glad to be:
home!

Garden club
donates for
landscaping

donated $100 to Sierra Nevada
Memorial Hospital for landscaping around the new wing.
This donation brings to $2,000
monies given SNMH over the
past several years for land‘scaping. President Mrs. L.
Norman Owler and members

plants and solicited help from
husbands and friends to carry
out their project of landscaping

year’s project. :
The garden club has one
major fund-raising event annually with proceeds going to
various community
organizations for landscaping or
gardening efforts.
