NORTHERN AUTO

Having formed the advisory com

mobile y ssociation, highway leaders
today prepared to push certain high
way matters regarded by them as
imperative to the welfare of Cali.
iornia and the west.
Approximately 60 leaders of
northern and central California met
yesterday in an all day session to
work out the structure of the or
ganization which is expected to take
an active part in pending highway
problems of California and nearby
states.
The conference passed two resolu-

of Il bill to provide funds to assist
public land states to maintain inter

TEN, and another, asking congress to

OLD LIGHTHOUSE
LANDMARK FOR
PACIFIC COAST

Graceful clipper ships with top
sails apd skysails bellying to the
breeze needed the warning of Pie
dras Blancas lighthouse half a cen
tury ago. Where there were few
steamers then there are few sailing
vessels now that pass this steadfast
beacon on the northern coast Of San
Luis Obispo county.
The old light still flashes true and
constant guidance to the Pacific
liners that pass, though an inscrip-
tion above the black oaken door of
the white tower gives the year
1874 in Roman numerals as the
year it was built. The old light
and the huge lenses that rcvolve
around it by u clock mechanism
wound every three hours, have been
in constant service since then and
have saved ships and men from des-
truction on the rocky shore. The
picturesque old lighthouse was
named in Spanish for the white
rocks, often the abode of seals that
jut out of the water all around the
promotory on which thc beacon
stands.
Motoring visitors who daily turn
their cars from the good gravel
coast road onto the wooden trastlc
bar to the old light are given a cor
tha@ permits passage across sand
dial welcome by Captain A. Gar
neckc, a smiling veteran Of 90 years
who has been the keeper of this
light for 10 wears and in the gov
crnment lighthouse and naval ser
vice for 30. Among many Incl
dents he related recently to Automo-
bill Club of Southern California
representatives who visited the
lighthouse was that of the wreck
Of the steamer "Casco, the re
mains of which may be seen half
buried in the sands half mile north
Of the light. This boat sailing north
vcnturcd too close to the shore on a
day about eight years ago, despite
the tower S warning, and was ruined
on the Jagged rocks hidden beneath
the breakers. All on board were
saved; some were rescued in boats
from the lighthouse.
Other unusual features of this
scenic coast road north of San Luis
Ohispo are MORO Rock, which
stands guard at the entrance of
MORO Bay, and the pine-clad hills
of Cayucos. It is of good gravel,
and it is expected this coast road
Will connect with Monterey about
the beginning of next summer.
Prison labor is now engaged in con
straction work on the upper end,
ard the road is therefore closed to
travel from the south at a point
near the Monterey county line.
Splendid pavement permits fast ira
vel north through Ventura and San
ia Barbara to San Luis Obispo,
from where the road leads west to
the lighthouse. SO that the round
trip can be made in two days. Pts
mo Beach, famed for its clans, is
another attractive spot along the
state 5 coast highway.
