One wakes in the early morning
in Los Angeles to find the palm trees
in his yard lifting wierdly through
heavy grey fog, and it is so cold
he can see his breath. The chill pen

to build his little wood fire and will
stick close to it through breakfast

a fire in the early mornings. To
the Southerner, all of this is de-
cidedly uncomfortable.
Yet California casts its spell, glow
ing as it does with its wonderful
mountains and deserts, it's old mis-
sions and its profusion of beautiful
fruits There are uneXcelled advan-
