although it was planted, several
years before the Revolutionary
War, is described by George K.
Shaffer in an article in this weeks
Liberty.
When Father Junipero Sierra
planted sprig OF grapevine at
San Gabriel Mission in 1771," the
writer points out, "he planted not
only the first grapevine In Califor-
mia, but also the. roots of a vast
industry. The benign franciscan
padre could hardly be expected to
know that from that little shoot
of grapevine would sprout an in.
dustry worth $3.50. 1000, 900 with EN-.
ployment for 100000 persons.
Father Serra's original vine
still grows" the writer continues.
In the yard of an old inn at San
Gabriel the patriarch of grape
vines stands just where the old
monk-now 143 years dead
planted it. 1t is said to be the
largest grapevine in the. world.
Eight feet in circumference, it's
gnarled and twisted trunk filings
long, winding arms over a trellis
that covers an acre. A ton of
grapes is its annual yield. The
benches and tables of more con.
vivial times still recall the custom
OF country folk TO gather and sin
their wine under its shade"

Jackie told him of Teddy Nor

Roen. He told of the farewell
party of Rooms class at school.
Roen was just dying to get
there. She made dress out of
some old blue thing of Dearie's.
But after it got finished-gee, it
looked funny.
Gosh, Mike. we laughed and

cried. Then she took it off and
said '"Thank heaven bustles and

it back in the rag bag. We all

Did Michael love her? Was this

not for ever SO long:
Nor could he marry her.

They saw the last flames Of the
