GOLDEN ACACIAS are bios
soming in the Winter sun of the
San Francisco Peninsula. There,
in Americas acacia capital, the
second annual Acacia Festival
will be observed by thousands of
residents and visitors from jan
uary Is to 26. The celebration
will be in the form of pilgrim
age. with thousands of automo-
biles following a well charted
course of about 80 miles.
A tree of Biblical fame, the
golden acacia thrives only in a
land of cool Summers, mild Win
tiers and little rainfall. These
conditions prevail in the San
Francisco region. One of the
few poisoning trees of Winter,
the acacia blooms from Decem-
Der through February with the
peak coming about the third
week in January.

Where All Relax

As an ardent researcher in

discovered that not even the
cocoanut palms really belong

vagrant cargo that was ship
wrecked on these shores some

This is the town where every
one comes to rest and relax and
lie in the sun all day long and
winds up playing the bangtails
and the boW-Wows- and let-ef

Any Difference Here?

This may sound like we're going out of our way to dig up dlsagreeable or pro- vocative topics. It really isn't meant Co be, But how many people noticed any thing odd about the recent situation when demands were being made Of Russia that she guarantee religious rights be- fore American aid could be given her. The paradox arose out of thss fact. Russia has been regarded as Che very ultimate in religion strangling ever since the soviet Republic came into power
 But If all religions met stern measures in Russia what was the Roman Catholic Church meeting in Northern Ireland at the hands of British rule and the most bigoted local minority control that ever has been practiced? It's funny what ht- tie prominence this prolonged religious war receives in discussions of American aid to Britain, And yet the facts are clear; they are known, too, in official circles. Even Britain herself occasionally shows @ bit of embarrassment over the activities of Northern Ireland officials.
 If ever religious group was singled out for humiliation and for Sublection to the rankest injustices the Roman Catholics in the six separated Irish counties have been. If their numbers were not 30 great this discussion could be quickly ignored, but where one-third the population is Catholic some representation In the offi- cial circles is expected. It can't be found in any branch of official life. The ban Is as thorough as could be.
 But does this invoke even a mild pro- test. No, 1t isn't even mentioned, because Britain never has reconciled herself to the complete loss of Ireland,
