Colony Quips We call your attention to an article in the 75 year ago spot which talks about the weather. This is something we cannot do much about but nobody is going to stop us from cogitating. In 1874 the Gazette was talking about old timers who were giving attention to weather signs had probably noticed that if rain preceded the autumn winds then it meant a wet season but if the rain came after the wind it would be a dry season. As we are right in the middle of that time now it might be well to notice how this season acts and see if the boys of '74 knew what they were talking about. The poem the article quoted was as old as the hills and is one known to every sailor and even today's 'top-sider' can reel it off and put it to music. When talking about weather it is always good to remember: When the wind's before the rain, You can set your sail again; But when the rain's before the wind, "Tis time to take you tops'ls in.

His rebuilding of a kicking Our old friend Jim Farquhar, editor of the Huntington Beach News sent in a well rounded story of what has been going on out in Las Vegas. He asks the question about why people gamble because/says Jim, for everyone who leaves there with more money than he came with there are 99 who go home broke. He says that people like to remember that they once hit a jackpot on a slot machine. Or had a lucky streak at the dice table. Or picked a long shot out at the County Fair at Pomona. Jim ought to know how to remember. We hear by the grapevine that the Edington Fruit Co., one of northern Orange county's largest orange houses, has withdrawn from the California Fruit Growers Exchange. If this is true we wonder just how much the by-products end of the deal had to do with their decision? If good small fruit brings three cents and more a pound to the grower on the tree in the form of frozen concentrate and at the same time it gets red ink as fresh fruit on the eastern market there will be an explosion as soon as growers find out about it. The fruit returns will bring the verdict. "Ten Top Trojan Football Thrillers" is the title of the latest book on the bridiron game. Sports scribes Braven Dyer of the Los Angeles Times and Dick Nash of the Mirror authored the book after polling a jury of fifty prominent writers, coaches and fans. Covering the ten most thrilling football games in University of Southern California's colorful gridiron history, the book is a "must" for Trojan followers and an important addition to any sports library.

Here's how the "ten top" finished in the voting: 1. 1931 Notre Dame, 16-14 2. 1948 Notre Dame, 14-14 tie 3. 1939 Duke, 7-3 (Rose Bowl) 4. 1928 Stanford, 10-0 5. 1930 Pittsburgh, 47-14 (Rose Bowl) 6. 1932 Tulane, 21-12 (Rose Bowl) 7. 1923 Penn State, 14-3 (Rose Bowl) Held at the Statler Hotel, the Exposition attracts contract hardware people from the entire United States and Canada.
