such an easy puzzle. Next time

Yes, of coursel Uncle Wiggily

in the red cranberry juice in the
bottom of the jar that Nurse Jane

easy to guess?

ing a jar of red cranberry sauce to
the pig lady She emptied the sauce
from the jar and was going to wash
it when Uncle Wiggily said not to
bother. So there was still some
juice in the jar when he kept on
hopping with it in his pocket to
look for an adventure.
Then the rabbit gentleman saw
some icieles on a stump near a

of making some cold candy for a

NO DIVISION WANTED

Fifty years ago, the San Diego I'm

division, which was quite topic of dis
cussion at that time, according to older
residents of the state.
I'VE are a separate people, with dis
tinctive features of climate, soil and
production, and widely diverse interests

pressed it.
division will come, inevitable, with
the advent of sufficient population,
and that time is not far off, it contin-
ued, according to its Fifty Years Ago,
column.
When that sentiment was expressed,
there were apparently good reasons other
than those mentioned, for dividing the
state. The chief reason was the almost
complete lack of transportation. Even
trains, the best means available at that
time, were slow and none too certain of
schedule. Advocates of division never
visioned day when it would be possible
to go from San Diego to the state cap
ital in few hours.

quicker now to go from remote parts of
the state to the capital, than San Diego
residents could go from the west to the
east end of their county so years ago.
Today the governor of the state boards
an airplane and within few hours he
can be in any portion of California that
he may wish to visit.
Division has failed to live up to the
prediction the Union made so years ago.
1t was revived some two decades ago,
but again it was cast aside.
Any advocate of division now would
be laughed at. We may still be ''dversi-
fed from the northern counties but
variety is the spice of life. California is
California, whether it is down in San
Diego, up in Del Norte, along the coast
or back toward the Nevada line
To deny that there still exists consid-
cradle jealousy between north and SOUTH
would be idle. 1t is there but improved
means of communication, better trans
portation and an increasing tendency to
''go visiting, are aiding in breaking
down the old prejudices and making us
all see California as lone state, indivis-
ible, with happiness and contentment for
all -"
