APPRECIATE YOUR CALIFORNIA Vacation time for many of us is just under the next leaf or two of the calendar. Others may not get a set vacation, but we will take advantage of good roads and warm week-ends to give mother nature the once over. Where to go is a major family problem. On one point, if there is sufficient enlightment about our own Golden State, all can agree. That is, whatever you want in the way of diversion may be had in abundance in California. Many of us are so close to our own problems and our own surroundings that we fail to realize the full import of California's vacation significance. Truth is, California is spectacular in everything, even to vacationing. Call California's attractions what you will, variety or color or spectacular changes, you can flirt with mother nature in more ways and in more places than in any similar place on earth. If it is underground marvels you wish to witness, you have a wide choice, from the mud springs and hot enroute to and near Salton Sea, to the only active volcano in the United States proper at Mt. Lassen. Or, if you wish to peer beneath the ocean's surface, a trip on the glass bottom boat at Santa Catalina island reveals submarine life and color. A leisurely journey up Owens valley, midst the Alps of America, brings Mt. Whitney, tallest peak in the United States to your attention with its snow clad ledges defying cold gales. Just over the mountain to the east is Death valley, the lowest spot in America, with the blue-gray Panamints hovering on the edges of the great Mojave. For persons wishing to vacation in any other season besides summer, the desert holds a world of lure, with its mineral-bearing mountains, its time-defying Aztec picture writings, its gorgeous color forma- a wide choice, from one main springs and lots elsewhere near Salton Sea, to the only active volcano in the United States proper at Mt. Lassen. Or, if you wish to peer beneath the ocean’s surface, a trip on the glass bottom boat at Santa Catalina island reveals submarine life and color. A leisurely journey up Owens valley, midst the Alps of America, brings Mt. Whitney, tallest peak in the United States to your attention with its snow clad ledges defying cold gales. Just over the mountain to the east is Death valley, the lowest spot in America, with the blue-gray Panamints hovering on the edges of the great Mojave. For persons wishing to vacation in any other season besides summer, the desert holds a world of lure, with its mineral-bearing mountains, its time-defying Aztec picture writings, its gorgeous color formations and plant and animal life that seems to live on the kaleidoscopic reds and yellows of morning and purples and blues of evening mirrored in a clear atmosphere, which permits vision an unparalleled freedom. In decided contrast to the desert which, by the way, draws tremendous interest from European travelers and just now is beginning to be appreciated by Americans themselves, are the big trees in Mariposa grove, the Big Basin, and along the Redwood highway penetrating nature’s perpetual garden of trees, shrubs, grass and flowers watered by numberless streams and inhabited by game to delight the hunter’s fancy. A fisherman’s paradise extends along the Pacific for deep-sea anglers and throughout the northern and central parts of the state for freshwater enthusiasts. If it is beaches, or golf, or social life in the greatly differing cities from Los Angeles to San Francisco, California furnishes all we can desire. Yosemite is the most spectacular of national parks, while General Grant, General Sherman and Mt. Lassen offer unusual opportunities for hiking. Everything from the fascinating seashore to gorgeous mountain views, from indigenous palms on the fringes of the desert to the world’s oldest living things — the giant redwoods—, from deep sea battles with the marlin to mountain stream battles with rainbow trout, from the movie lots at Hollywood to the fashion parade at Palm Springs is within a day’s drive for most of us. Whatever you do, enjoy your California. Spend your vacation learning at first hand and enjoying the great educational and entertainment possibilities of your own state. You will return with a fresher grip on life, and day by day events of your native state will grow more personal and interesting. PIGS IN THE PARLOR OF LIFE Most Americans have a sense of appropriateness when it comes to mixing natural scenery with artificial gadgets. We want to look at orange groves, creeks, mountains and the seashore without molestation. Our mood, when viewing the wonders of nature, is anything but commercial. We love the gorgeous colorings of a sunset, we admire imposing mountains watching over us from majestic peaks, we adore the passing scene of a calf with its mother resting in the shade of a friendly old oak, we ponder the power which sends wave after wave lapping the seashore. The beauty and grace of natural phenomena help us to maintain peace with ourselves and the world. Somehow, gaudy billboards, raucously squealing at us from our favorite turns in the road, look like pigs in the parlor of life.

TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER We hate to have to say it, but the latest scheme put forward by so-called scientists for foretelling the weather anywhere from one to a few hundred years in advance has proved a flop. We have that on the word of J. B. Kincer, the weather sharp of the department of agriculture in Washington. This latest notion was that there is a cycle which recurs every 23 years, connected somehow with the reappearance of sun-spots, so that in 1934, for example, the weather would be the same, month by month, as it was in 1911. Mr. Kincer and his assistants took this idea seriously enough to make 4,272 comparisons of the recorded facts about the weather in the past 50 years with what would have been if the sun-spot theory were correct; and in more than half the cases the weather didn’t behave at all like the forecast. Weather, it seems, like human beings, doesn’t operate according to preconceived plans. The weather bureau folk are, in fact, beginning to get very skeptical about all the time-honored long-range plans for forecasting. The theory of tree rings doesn’t work, they say, nor earthquakes, Nile floods, the price of wheat or any of the other familiar things from which one was supposed to be able to tell last fall what the weather will be next July. It seems a pity, for it would be so simple to turn to the almanac and look up the date and be able to predict with positiveness that it would not rain on the Fourth of July this year. That would be a splendid prediction—if it came true. The latest method of our weather bureau in Washington—and we want to say right here that those folks know their business and go at their job of foretelling the weather for a day or two ahead about as well as could be expected—is to send airplanes and balloons up at regular intervals in a dozen different places to catch the earliest signs of a change in the upper air. They are seldom far wrong—up to day after tomorrow. But when it comes to week after next, we are afraid we will have to continue to rely upon the old-fashioned goosebone method.

When they passed that monetary measure, the silver bloc lost by 2 votes. It was aimed that in the event silver was stabilized the government would then put in a call for about one billion ounces of silver. Say, boy, that would have put at least one million men to work in the silver mines! ACH AH, PAPA! It is rumored that a nudist colony has been angling for a location in Orange county. HI, MISTER LONG TIME NO SEE YOU It is said they are going to turn the spot-light on the holding companies and see where all the profits have been going. THE GENTLE TOUCH When those foreign nations find out about that 2 billion fund they might muster up courage, clear their throats, and seek a loan, or something. THERE'S A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW It is given out by newspaper correspondents that quite a few of the democrats in congress are coming out strong for a high tariff to protect American industries. MEBBE IT'S ALL A DREAM For instance an Englishman sold a bill of goods to an American and accepted the 50-cent dollar in payment. Then, for instance again the Englishman bought goods from a Frenchman and offered to pay him for the goods with that 50-cent cartwheel. The Frenchman being on the gold standard, no doubt, would say, nope, nothing doing! Sacramento! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON Here is a psychological viewpoint, whatever that is: They give a great big society ball with champagne and high hats—and sad to say, a lot of others have a headache at home worrying about the mortgage.

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON Here is a psychological viewpoint, whatever that is: They give a great big society ball with champagne and high hats—and sad to say, a lot of others have a headache at home worrying about the mortgage. SHIFTING SCENES A couple of women got to arguing and put pieces in the paper and they discussed pro and con as to whether the saloon would come back. But, gosh dang it, ladies, did it ever go away? PUTTING THE CARDS ON THE TABLE FACE UP Several of those nations in Europe borrowed 11 billion dollars from the U.S.A. and it seems they have forgotten all about the jack and don't seem inclined to pay it back or come across and yet and still and lo and behold this country has devalued the dollar and has put 2 billion in gold as security in order to stabilize our foreign credit. Hot ziggetty! Whoops and hi! OUCH, LOUIE, VAT A HEADACHE! It is said the receipts over the bare at Callente have increased since repeal hit this country. From what you can learn by hearay there is too much fusil oil in the stuff sold here and roundabout. AH, YOU WAIT, ILL SHOW YOU! Question:—If we get all the gold in the world, and nobody else wants it, what'll we do with it? HERE'S WORK FOR YOU TO DO Some people might think the idea is old-fashioned, but believe it or not what this country needs is a tariff for protection of home industries. POLITICAL STEW Served With a Dash of Local Flavor. Specially Prepared To the Recipe of the Orange County Weekly Newspaper Association. By PAUL E. TICKS Orange County Political Trend In Figures "Figures -never lie" is a well or ganized saying that has come down proverbially through the ages. Some say it dates back to Confuscius, but whoever it was who invented and first used the phrase, he probably han an axe to grind and undoubtedly succeeded in putting the proper cutting edge on the instrument. All of which indicates little or nothing, excepting that from any group of statistics there is a multiplicity of conclusions to be drawn. What is the direction of the present political swing in Orange county? Is it true that the republicans of the county are fast deserting the ranks and going over to the New Dealers? Or is the old guard remaining faithful? There are figures to judge from, Joe Backs keeps them up in his office at the court house. The registrations are counted, tabulated and are correct right down to the one gentleman who registered as a communist, and seems to be the sole support to the Santa Ana Register's claim that communism in the county is almost non-existent. If there are more communists they either lack the courage to register as such, or else they are late comers. But enough of that, we're off the track. For the purpose of plunging into the very midst of what has become a hot discussion, the major party 1930 Orange county registrations totals are compared below with figures compiled on April 24, this year: April 24 1930 1934 leaders of both parties are not so sure. We have republicans who point jubilantly to their registration figures, but who know down in their hearts that plenty of it will not stick. On the other hand the democrats are wondering how much that "plenty" will be when the votes are summed up. Anybody's guess is good, but this column predicts that, regardless of the national swing to the democrats, it will be nlp and tuck either way here in Orange county. Tax Collector Indications point to a non-competitive race for Tax Collector John C. Lamb. He has held the office for a number of years and emerged victorious from every campaign. This approval indicates a satisfactory administration. Lamb has been tax collector so long that his name is synonymous with the office. It's about a month before filing date time limit and candidates may appear, but with Lamb's record it looks like he is fairly safely entrenched. The One Office Which Seems To Be Popular Circumstances and men have combined to signal out the sheriffs office for the major contest in the coming primaries. The race will be chopped up finer than Mister Wimpey's favorite dish. Right now Messrs. Riggle, Howard, C. E. Jackson, Logan Jackson, Don Wilke, Cravath and Jernigan have avowed they are willing. With a layout like that the chances of anyone cleaning up in the primaries are about CERVATIONS BOYS, YOU LOST! 7, SHUCKS! Passed that monetary silver bloc lost by 2 votes. That in the event silver the government would call for about one billion Say, boy, that would hast one million men to ever mines! AH, PAPA! Did that a nudist colony ling for a location in TER LONG TIME SEE YOU Are going to turn the holding companies all the profits have ENTLE TOUCH Foreign nations find outillion fund they mightage, clear their throats, or something. A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW But by newspaper correquite a few of the demress are coming outhigh tariff to protect entries. ALL A DREAM An Englishman sold a loan American and accent dollar in payment, once again the Englishgoods from a Frenchman pay him for the goods-cent cartwheel. The king on the gold standard, and say, nope, nothing mento! DE ARE YOU ON Psychological viewpoint,ies: They give a great deal with champagne and sad to say, a lot of headache at home worry-mortgage. April 24 1930 1934 Republicans ...37,154 34,104 Democrats .....10,692 22,406 Reublicans decreased 3050 or 8.2%. Democrats increased 11714 or 109%. At first glance these tabulations would indicate that the republicans with only an 8.2% decrease in registrations are holding close to party lines, and all would appear to be well within the G. O. P. ranks. Interest in the democratic cause appears to have popped up 109%, while the republican registrations are down only 8.2%. Go through the process of multiplication and deduction and you will arrive at a net increase in registration of 8664. This could be an increase in population, but it isn't. It is said that numbered among the newly registered is many a citizen who hasn't voted for years. Also the 7½ per head allowed by law to registers has something to do with the increase. Anyway, the situation is a healthy one and indicates a renewed interest in things political. What the voters will do at the elections seems to be a matter of conjecture with registration figures and past performances of little account. The crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron; And I will give the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Even though Cyrus was a heathen, he was God's Messiah for that event. Talk if you like about being broadminded! Then think of the prejudices that prophet had to overcome to make such a declaration, and think DE ARE YOU ON psychological viewpoint, sie: They give a great with champagne and sad to say, a lot of headache at home worrymortgage. ING SCENES women got to arguing in the paper and they did con as to whether the come back. But, gosh did it ever go away? HE CARDS ON THE FACE UP ose nations in Europe billion dollars from the seems they have forcut the jack and don't pay it back or come and still and lo and bery has devalued the output 2 billion in gold as a way to stabilize our fortit ziggetty!

From what you can buy there is too much stuff sold here and T, ILL SHOW YOU! we get all the gold in nobody else wants it, with it? K FOR YOU TO DO right think the idea is not believe it or not needs is a tariff for some industries. ENDS with the magnificent poem, which concludes chapter 35, somebody raises an objection. "The book of Isaiah has sixty-six chapters," he says, "and how can it end at 35?" The answer is that beginning with chapter 40, this book has another author. We do not know his name, nor why he took such great palms to conceal it. Following the exile one hundred years or more after the work and writing of Isaiah himself, there were some useful but rather commonplace prophets, Haggal and Zechariah, whose messages helped on the work of rebuilding the temple, but who can not be called great men. But one truly great voice did speak out, the voice of this splendid Unknown, the author of the last chapters of the book which is all labeled with Isaiah's name. He described himself as "the voice of a herald" crying, "Make straight in the desert a highway for our God." He called men to grade the roads, cutting down the hills and filling the valleys and preparing to go back to Zion. He does not name Isaiah nor refer to any king or event contemporary with him. On the contrary, these chapters were clearly written a hundred and fifty years later in the time of Cyrus. Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; I will go before thee, and make the STRAIN AT A GNAT—SWALLOW A CAMEL They put a cent tax or something like that, on a barrel of oil as it comes from the well to raise revenue, yet and still foreign oil comes in just the same—almost free of duty. WATCHFUL WAITING If some sort of a contract was signed to let in that foreign oil, lots of people are hoping it will soon run out, so as to allow the boys at home to get their old jobs back again in the oil fields. HEY, EDDIE, DON'T FORGET TO WIND THE CLOCK They say it will take two years for the country to catch its economic breath and get normal again. PLAYING ON BOTH SIDES AND DOWN THE MIDDLE A man at the last general election for a high legislative office seat went in as a republican, came out as a democrat and now seeks the office again as an independent—with humps in the road.
