■ reu. zo, Uuo. Mrc. Minnie Daniels. 1 Deeatur, Indiana. ' D"ar Aunt. Minnie: Now after the first shock is over • you will be ail right. I know 1 don't do this often, but this is such a nice, rainy day and I’m home fcr a change. I It seetua funny to , see tourists comej lai|en with raincoats, goloshes, 'u J everything, actually believing that it rains six months of the yetjr in Cali- ! (oruiu. We have had such perfect .. weather this winter—the kind that i

makes you feel that you Just can t eo any whtue without a now Spnns bat The weather simply screams for it. But then you ffo anyway, hat on or hatlee*, so it doesn't matter Our violets and sweet peas aud all the bulb flower? are blooming and 11 hey are beautiful. Do you know it will be twenty, years this fall since I camo to Cali-j ' old Indiana, but I love my adopted 1 fornlu, a bride? I'll always levo dear: i Mute Just ns much. I'll never forget j my first Spring In California: in the Tehachapi Mounta ns Those somber hills were sueli a riot of color aud bloom that 1 can still vividly recall their beauty. The hills literally turn to gold under the blooms of our own California poppy, and for miles you can see their golden domes against the blue sky. The liny flowers grow In great patches, like brilliantly col-j ored carpets, so close together that the steins are hidden. Blue, yellow,' pink, rose and gold, each to its own kind, as if the hand of God had plant- ( ed them iu a wonderful mosaic do | i ign. When we left the mountains for the beautiful Carpinteria Valley, we felt a little pang of homesickness each year to go back and view Spring's miracle again. Carpinteria is a wedding of the mountains ami the sea. protected by the foothills, it is practically frostless. and its unusually mild winters make it possible to have fruits aud vegetables almost the year round 'wiicn we lived there we had strawberries about nine months of the Mar, blackberries for ten or eleven, green corn until late in the fall, and I bel'evo we sent you some of the wonderful English walnuts. Our bunch used -to have beach tea one week and barbecues back in the foothills the next. ( often long to go back on a visit. But since we've landed in the beautiful San Bernardino valley, we've aeItually taken root. It seems as if we 'have everything hero that anyone ! could want. As to business—did you know that Bradstreet rates towns < and communities that show steady gniu in business and bank clearings ar “white spots”? Well—that's us. ; One of the radio stations in lx»s Angeles announces their program from “Los Angeles, the while spot of America.” But that white spot cov- , ers some territory, and San Bcrnar ; •lino is as white as the whitest. We bought property here after a so-called "big orauge freeze.” We hadn't seen , any town that looked more promising , to us. and being newcomers, we . didn't take everything for granted ( When people told us we were crazy, aud that business would be at a standstill, we told them we believed in , San Bernardino and would back our belief in dollars and ceuts, "One swallow doesn't make a summer,” ( and not even total disaster to any . one crop could ruin a land so'teeming with opportunities as California. . A-- for oranges—well, we still have 1 'em—don't let any one tell you different. Just like the old apple crop back in Indiana —we had partial crop failures at times, but these didn't ruin tlie state north apple industry, and there you are. One of the things that makes me sore is the way peo pie come out here without a cent to their name. They sell their belongings. buy a worn out car, pile the family in and start for California, expecting to find gold on the streets. When they put up enough hard luck stories Io gel-through, and don't land a good job right away, they get sore. When the charitable organizations refuse Io lielp them longer, they pack up and make for home, knocking California tlie rest of their days. Sour grapes, that's all. Well —back to San Bernardino. They call us the gale city, but, I sometimes wonder why they don't call us the Hub City. ■ (or radiating out from all sides of us are beautiful boulevards leading everywhere. An hour and a half to tlie beach; forty five minutes to the mountains, and an hour to Arrowhead Lake, with its accommodations for both the camper and the luxury lover._ Two hours into Los Augelcs, via beautiful, Pasadena, and to shops the equal, if not the superior of any in New York City. Riverside with its famous Mission Inn is just thirty minutes away. Then, to assure us a u good industrial future, as well as present, we have lhe Sante Fe shops. 1 Also many oilier important Indusr tries and uiauufacturies, operating on . a smaller scale; splendid retail f shops, the best W>f school faeßities. s fine Municipal Auditorium. The fam- '- oils National Orange Show with its active church organizations, and f. permanent birdings (and I truly

think it is tiio most unique and beautiful exhibition of its kind in America). Then we have a fine Country Club and golf course, several modern hotels in process of construction—oh. we're on the map. that's all—the most promising inland city in Southtern California. Personally, I wouldn't | bar the whole state for comparison. And for scenic beauty, well, there may he more beautiful sunsets, with 1 their changing colors reflecting on J the mountains until they look like ' hugs opals, there may be other lauds

— ( where you can go in an hour from glimmer ami orange blossoms, up to where the pine trees arc covered with frost and »now. but 1, haven t lived iu those places. Going up to iba mountains on a moonlight night, whan tho trees look like lacy iciclfis. and glitter like diamonds under the I moon's rays, well, its just one of j those pictures you cant talk about,! but you never forget. 1 wish I i could toll you about our trips to the I desert, to beautiful Palm Canyon and tn the date farms and cotton fields of Imperial Valley. One can ouly think of the old lines from the Bible, 1 “And the desert shall blossom like a rose” You just have to j believe,' v. lien you sec the marvelous desert flowers, uover planted by the hand of man. , Oh. I could rave on. but I must I come down to earth if I ( want to send | this in an ordinary mail. 1 hope you , survive the shock of such a “heap big” letter, but I bad to get this out .cf my system, I Ixit of love to all of you.

For instance a road may be in ex- < client shape with most of the frost I one today, aud in two days afterwards a heavy rain would place it in such condition that heavy trucks would have to be prohibited for an hour or so. Therefore traffic is ask ed to use judgement in the matter of heavy loads following heavy rains or warm weather during which surfaces are thawing. Reports from district engineers, says John D. Williams, director, show busses again permitted in the la-ban on district. Fowler sub-district roads I arc tine excepting that portion of N<> 6 between Lafayette ami Oxford which is sofl and on which no load] over 3 tons is permitted for a few days. Light truck traffic is not re j stricted in the Terre Haute sub-dis trict except on No. 9 south of Brazil, j Busses and light trucks are permitted in the Greencastle sub district, of course subject Io no heavy rain;, while light trucks up to 3 tone, gross are permitted on all roads in the Crawfordsville sub-district except a I small portion of 32 which is posted. — o —.— KAMPE LEAVES DAILY DEMOCRAT i (Continued from Pago One) southern Michigan, and his position is a very responsible one.
