Of the blossoms watts through the
auto windows during drives through
the grove country. Visitors may
inspect the giant packing houses
through which flows the golden fruit
to be sorted, washed, waxed, and
boxed.
And in San Bernardino, in the
heart of the orange country, from
March Is to %, Is the National Or
ange Show, one of the colorful
events of the sun festival. There
are mountains of oranges, big or
anges, prize oranges, fairy castles
built up of oranges.
Catalina's Golden Days"
A string of islands rises just with
IN sight of the mainland off South
ern California. Some are lonely,
populated only by herds of sheep;
used by the Navy; and another, the
most picturesque, is Santa Catalina,
the Southland's off-shore winter
playground. The "Olden Golden
Days" on Santa Catalina furnish
one of the colorful events.
Just % miles of Los Angeles,
Santa Catalina Island is reached
by regular airplanes or steamers.
Visitors are met at Avalon, the
pretty island capital, by isle resi-
dents in Spanish garb, strolling
troubadours, and street dancers.
These "Olden Golden Days" merry
makers help to entertain visitors

with giant toy Yule trees. Santa
rides big sleigh nightly. The town
of Glendale turns its main street
into a tunnel of colored lights.
Huntington Beach transforms der
ricks of its oil field into lighted
Christmas trees. In Beverly Hills,
the movie stars and others vie in
fashioning the fronts of their man
Sions into fairylands of lights.
Old Mexico is Southern Cali
fornia's next-door neighbor and the
Sun Festival takes visitors to the
border, to such places as Calexico-
Mexicai, the sister cities straddling
the international line.
Southern California was once
Spanish, then Mexican and much of
the heritage fingers. Events occur
in Olvera street, the brick lane
which was the Los Angeles pueblo's
first thoroughfare and is now re-
tanned as an Old Mexico street mar
ket.
Three ChinatOwnS to See.
Also in Los Angeles are not one,
but three Chinatowns, and on the
Sun Festival program are the beau
tiful lantern feasts, with the ORR
rentals, donning their best embroi-
derry, the Chinese New Year and In
dependence Day.
Some of the most colorful events
occur in China City, a colony of
little, crooked lanes covering a hill
slope, where the Chinese merchants
have crowded their shops and cafes.
Husky youths tow visitors on sight
seeing tours in rubber tired, softly
upholstered rickshas, scattering
crowds with the shout: "Ricksha,
comm through"
In China City on January "A, they
celebrate "Trao Chun," the festival
of the kitchen god, who is sent
away to the heavens yearly to re-
port on the behavior of the family.
There is banquet and a ceremonial
burning of the image in the kitchen
shrine. The Chinese celebrate New
Year from January % to February
4. and last year, for the first time,
the public was admitted to the
event. There are feasts, Buddhistic
rites, firecrackers and dances of
sacred lions and dragons. A beauti-
full event is ''Teng Chieh," the feast
of the lanterns, when the Chinese
don gorgeously embroidered silks
and parade with many shaped Ian
terms.
In the orange country, the land is
criss-crossed for miles by the
straight, even rows of neat citrus
groves, and visitors may see trees
simultaneously bearing crops of
golden fruit and waxy-white, sweet
smelling orange blossoms Perfume

between glass-bottom boat rides
over the submarine gardens, trips
to the exotic rare bird park and
rides along the mountainous shore
line. The 'Olden Golden Days"
last from November through jan
uary.
Also on Catalina Island, are
sporty golf and tennis, wild boar
ard wild goat hunting and quail
hunting in season.
Warm, sandy beaches of the Pa
cific Ocean invite visitors to relax
in the sun, fish and hunt shells,
and along the coast are the yachting
regattas and speedboat races.

On the edge Of the village Of Lake
Placid is one Of the newest set Of
courses, the Fawn Ridge Ski Center.
The ridge, within easy skiing dis
lance Of the hotels and guest houses,
is 1000 feet long. Open slopes have
been cleared in the center, and Oh
to the side are slalom and downhin
runs through wooded tracts. The
developed runs are served by a
1,000-foot ski tow, which reaches
the ridge at a point where 1t Is
possible to descend on either side.
The runs are of such varying de-
gree that they serve novices,, in
termediates and experts. Immedi-
ately adjacent to the slopes the tow
rises from near a large parking
area and new ski cabin.
Developing the second of the new
centers the designers took over the
old Ruisseaumont golf course to re-
chlisten it Hilltop Lodge and Ski
Tow. Open slopes radia.e down
from the lodge, which will serve
meals.
The improvement of the SCOTS
Cobble Center includes relocating
the ski cabin, opfSing new slopes
and constructing new downhill
trail, winding down from Lookout
Point with grades ranging from 10
to &c degrees.
But all at Lake Placid Is not ski
ing. During the season, from mid
December to mid-April, Mirror
Lakes rink will offer ice skating,
as will the indoor sheets of ice in
the Olympic Arena; tobogganing on
two slides, ski-joring over hill and
dale behind spirited horses, sleigh
rides to forest cabins, dogsledding
behind true huskies.

II has never reached the proper
tons of usual parlor game, but
arm chair travelling to oddly-named
hamlets in the United States, only
few of which the tourist would
ever hope to see, is pastime with
more than an occasional laugh. One
would have to look at a map of
Norway to find He'll, at Brazil to
find the shortest, o, but in the
United States are villages equally
intriguing. Maryland's T. B. may
startle the rest of the United States,
where the background for its
christening is not known. Although
quite well known in the Washing
ton area, North Carolina's Mays
Head and Loafers Glory would tickle
the resident of Egypt. Mass, as well
as the native of Egypt, in the State
of Washington.
A complete check of maps of the
various States, or, if one is in a
lazy mood, running through the
Postal Guide, would uncover equally
odd names. But as State Louisi-
ana can hold its own with the best
of them. Some names are the prod
uct of whimsical originality, others
taken frem the Bible, history,
mythology, literature.
Two towns in the Pelican State
would not be out of place in the
comic strips. They are WatiZit,
without question mark, and Wham,
which fills the air around caricature
slap-sticks. Ranking with Loafers
Glory are Solitude and Daily, in
Louisiana. But solitude still would
have to be sought in Solitude, for
it is a thriving town Of 400; Daily,
in Jackson Parish, has popula-
ton of So Sojourner or Bliss might
draw tourists seeking recreation or
happiness. If becoming ambitious,
they might journey to Duty or En-
terprise. There is an Enterprise in
Catahoula Parish and another in
Lafourche. A run over to Daytime
would break the monotony.
For the downcast there are two
towns of Hope, one in Iberia Parish
and another in Bienville; also Re-
lief, Shelter, Rescue and Friend
ship. One would have to go to
Blonde to learn if the inhabitants
are blond or brunette. The last
census doesn't say, but it does give
the population as Is.

Curly nudged the now wide

them, in his interest over the

they broke into a run. Reach

propriate State examinations. Very
capable men were thus secured.
Two outstanding research labora-
tories were established. One was the
wildlife research station at Ohio
State University. The other was the
fisheries research laboratory at Put
in-Bay. The problems were studied
and solved scientifically.
The Davey administration pro-
cured one and one-half million dol
lars of Federal money to speed up
the conservation program. Hundreds
of miles of easements were secured
from land owners along Ohio's
streams, for public use. An elaborate
program of conservation education
was introduced into the public
schools.
A large amount of work was done
in the improvement of State-owned
lakes and in park construction. The
rehabilitation of the Ohio canal sys-
tenn for recreational use, and many
other things, were done to make
outdoor Ohio more productive and
interesting.
Conservation in Ohio made more
progress under Governor Davey in
four years than in the previous quar-
ter of century. These results were
obtained by giving the Conservation
Council broad powers, giving them
all the money from sportsmen, keep
ing politics out of the Division, en-
ploying high-class personnel and
letting them do their work without
interference.

Davey g Conservation

II is probable that relatively few
people in Ohio were close enough
to the conservation program dur
ing Governor Davey's time to know
the many things that were done,
and the enormous strides that were
made. Those who did watch the
conservation program, under Davey,
said it was the first time that the
sportsmen, farmers and other inter-
ested people had been given real
break
Davey secured the passage of a
law giving to the Conservation
Council broad and exclusive pow
ers, so that they could operate as a
board of directors, and go ahead
with their work unhampered, and
really get things done.
Then another law was passed CIV
ing to the Conservation Council for
the first time all the license monies,
and all other revenues received from
similar sources.
When Davey became Governor,
the State owed the Conservation
Division almost a half million dol
lars, that had been withheld in pre-
vious years. In the past, the prac-
tice has been to turn the license
fees into the general revenue fund,
and appropriate only part of it for
conservation work. Davey secured
the passage of an appropriation to
pay this half million dollars back
to the Conservation Council.
Various other laws were passed
for the protection of hunters, fisher
men and land owners, and for the
advancement of the great conserva-
ton work that was being inaugu-
rated.
1t was strict rule in the Davey
administration that politics should
be kept out of conservation. Peo-
pie were retained or employed only
on the basis of merit. No COM
petent person had any fear of losing
his job. The morale and efficiency
of the Conservation force reached a
new high standard.
The game farms were greatly en-
larged, and the size of the fish
hatcheries was increased by more
than four times. Hundreds of small
dams were built in the rivers of Ohio
to develop more fishing areas.
Artificial lakes were constructed
under the Davey administration in
Champagne County, Jackson Coun-
ty. Hancock County, Jefferson
County, Scioto County and Clinton
County. Others were on the pro-
gram to be constructed later.
The Davey administration inaugu-
rated new approach to the whole
program of wildlife restoration; that
is to say, game management and
fish management. This meant scien-
tific dealing with the problems of
propagation, food supply, disease
control, etc.
In order to make this program of
scientific game and fish manage
ment success, special schools were
established for the training of game
wardens and game management
agents. AS a result, the people of
Ohio began to get some real bene-
fits from their investment. All new
employees were appointed from
Civil Service lists, after r. ap-
