Death Valley Encampment to Relive History Death Valley,—Citizens of California were invited today to take part in the biggest "camping out" party in Western history on December 3 here in Death Valley. Free campsites near Furnace Creek will be provided Friday night, December 2nd and Saturday night December 3rd, for those attending the Death Valley Centennial Pageant at 2 p.m. December 3. The pageant will be the first of the major outdoor spectacles in Southren California sponsored by the State Centennials Commission. Its purpose is to honor the heroism of the pioneers as exemplified in the experience of the Manly-Jayhawker party in Death Valley in 1849. Campers will be provided with western entertainment, including square dancing and community singing. Each camping party is requested to be sure to bring its own bedding rolls, food and water. Both A. W. Noon, president of the Death Valley '49ers, Inc., and Lloyd D. Mitchell, Southern California Manager of the State Centennials commission, emphasized that due to the isolated location of the pageant site it is necessary for visitors to take their food, water and sleeping bags. Sanitary facilities will be provided by the sponsoring organizations. Mitchell said that the task of adding to the comfort of campers team will be driven from Owens Valley in a special trek to the site of the performance. Manager Larry Shea and Cavalcade Manager David Malloy are arranging many special effects to aid in the presentation. Otto K. Oleson of Los Angeles, a member of the production committee headed by Supervisor Ardis Walker of Kern county, will be in charge of special sound effects. Visitors can go to Death Valley by three routes, it was pointed out yesterday by Lloyd D. Mitchell. These are by way of Mojave and Olancha on the Owens Valley Road; via Mojave and Trona over a new section of highway beyond Trona; and by way of San Bernardino, Shoshone, Baker and Death Valley Junction. “This outing is the opportunity of a lifetime, to come and join in a real camp and to pay tribute to the spirit of the pioneers,” Mitchell said. “The roads to Death Valley are good; it is an easy 300-mile trip from Los Angeles, and we intend to do everything possible to see that everyone enjoys the great outdoor spectacle. It is important, however, that each visitor who intends to stay overnight should bring plenty of food, water and covers, because hotel accommodations are, of course, inadequate for a big crowd. If visitors cooperate in these few important essentials the celebration will be one of the most unusual and fascinating ever held.” Preparations for the pageant, one of the major events during California’s Centennial celebrations from 1946 through the Year of Statehood in 1950, have been under way for a year.

In the Santa Ana office, the department said 2,912 claims were filed, and 1,900 were paid. The trend in the state was up- Both A. W. Noon, president of the Death Valley '49ers, Inc., and Lloyd D. Mitchell, Southern California Manager of the State Centennial commissions, emphasized that due to the isolated location of the pageant site it is necessary for visitors to take their food, water and sleeping bags. Sanitary facilities will be provided by the sponsoring organizations. Mitchell said that the task of adding to the comfort of campers will be greatly aided if each prospective visitor will send his name and address to the Centennial's Commission office, 1212 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles (on the accompanying blank.) In this way, officials can get a rough idea of the number intending to attend the pageant. The pageant-spectacle, free to the public, will be presented in Desolation Canyon near Furnace Creek. Covered wagons, a 20-mule team and a cast of "pioneers" will re-enact the Death Valley trek and the recue dash of William Lewis Manly and John Rogers who saved part of the group in one of the most amazing feats of heroism in American history. The action of the pageant will be accompanied by special music composed by Fred Grofe, the creator of "Grand Canyon Suite." The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra will play, under Grofe's direction. A 100-voice chorus will assist. As a climax, a "desert cavalcade" will move past the audience which will be cared for in specially erected steel grandstands holding 6,000 persons. Director James Tray of the Pasadena Playhouse is busy today instructing the cast for the pageant, which will be given authenticity by trained ox-teams hauling covered wagons imported from other western states. The 20-mule modations are, of course, inadequate for a big crowd. If visitors cooperate in these few important essentials the celebration will be one of the most unusual and fascinating ever held."

Authorize New Auto Insignia For Physicians "A new streamlined automobile insignia for licensed physicians has been approved for use," Clifford E. Peterson, California Highway Patrol Commissioner announced today. The metal marker is in the form of a shield and is attached to license plates. It has a light royal blue background, dull gold caduceus and shining gold letters reading "California Licensed Physician." "The emblem is designed to provide exemption from provisions of the state speed low when a physician is answering an emergency call," Peterson said.
