SECOND Sect ON

LOS GATOS, Cal., Nov. 4—The way I was brought

up; it wasn’t quite religious for anybody to make wine

r or drink it.

Of course times have changed, but I

expect a lot of people will still be surprised to know that two of the finest wineries in California are actually owned and run by churches. They are the Mont LaSalle Vineyards of the . Christian Brothers at Napa, north of San Francisco, and the Novitiate of Los Gatos, down here on. the peninsula, 50 miles south of that city. I went all through the Novitiate wineries, guided by a Jesuit brother, in long black clerical gown. My host was Brother Francis J. Reinkey, the Novitiate’s winemaker. me 15 members. of the order have charge of the making of 100,000 gallons of wine a year in this winery. The Novitiate of Los Gatos, a Jesuit school leading ‘to the priesthood, was established here in 1888, near the brow of a high hill. The view is magnificent. You can look down upon Los Gatos, and across the valley to San Jose, and you can see Santa Clara University, and in the distance the Navy's great dirigible jj hangar at _Sunnyvale—a- ‘hangar without a dirigible. EJ = =

* Grew Up Together

The school and living quarters are in a great winged stone building. “There is a churchly quiet around it, and through the grounds and around corers you see young men and older ones in their long ‘black robes. Students and staff total about 115. © The winery supports the Novitiate, and has ever since the place was established. They have grown together. The Novitiate has 400 acres in grapes. Much of it is on hillsides so steep: they can’t use tractors. So the Novitiate keeps more than a dozen horses for farm work. . Most of the field work is done by hired men. But the students, during harvest season, get out and pick

a bit since I heard of the Pleasant Memory Club, a

group of ex-employees of the Central Hospital, which ‘meets every three months to have a good time. Only those who worked at the hospital prior to 1896 are eligible. Last Sunday it was the Weavers’ turn to entertain. -And boy-oh-boy, what a party May and Cletus can throw when they put their minds to it! Tbe oldest guest present was Simon P. Neidigh who still works at the hospital. Last June he celebrated his 50th -anniversary as an employee oui there. Last Saturday he was 88 years old. ‘Next oldest at the party was Dave Sprinkle (87) who has : ‘been making ‘mattresses for the patients at the hos‘pial for the last 64 years. Youngest member present ‘was Mrs. Bertha Barber; runner-up, Mrs. Alva GulJey. I could sive you the ages of both ladies if I felt like “it, but T'm not going to. I never told on a

{ avoman in my life, and I'm not going to start now

just to satisfy your curiosity. - The combined age of the 34 members present was, 2382 years, if that’s any help to you. #

Formed 15 Years Ago

The club was: organized 15 years ‘ago with Mrs.

YPrank Holsapple as president and Mrs. Alva Gulley

,as secretary. They still fun the club. That’s how good {they are. Mrs. Holsapple was Sadie Little when she ‘met Frank at the hospital, and Mrs. Gulley was Mabel :Beiders when she ran across Alva.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—Recently one of the most j Important voices in the Government has come to be i that of the White House Secretary, Stephen T. Early. The word “voice” is used advisedly. With increasing frequency, Mr. Early is being quoted in important utterances. Those who do not know Mr. Early, or who are some distance removed from the Washington scene, might put him down as an

upstart busybody who suddenly -

had taken it upon himself to lecture publicly the leading statesmen of other nations as well as members of the President’s official family. Of course nearly everyone in Washington knows that this is not the case. Mr. Early, 50, knows what he is about.

: who has just turn He worked in Ww as one of Mr. Roosevelt's assistants in the Vice Presidential campaign of 1920, He has served as one of the White House Secretaries since. Mr. Roosevelt took office.| At first his chief duty was to deal with the press, | the radio and the news photographers. Later, after Louis Howe died and particularly after Marvin McIntyre became ill some months ago, additional re- ‘ sponsibilities fell upon him.

My Day

ST. JOSEPH, Mo.,

En Route, Friday.—Mr. and Mrs. John P. Harris wete the most delightful and understanding hosts. ey gave us time to write this column yesterday in Hutchinson, Kas, arranged a ligt and peaceful meal, and then held an informal reception in the hotel near the railroad station after the lecture. As a result, everybody was happy and we had as much time as possible to do the one thing which I was really anxious to do while in Hutchinson—see the shelter belt planning. F. A. Silcox, chief of the - Forest Service, had written me that I could obtain a very good idea of it by taking a threehour trip. His representative in that region, Russell Reitz, came for us at 2 o’clock and Miss Thompson and I started out. Our firt /stop was at some Planting which had been done four years ago. ‘ The lang is first cultivated and then a row of

ent kinds of trees. One row is usually either fruit or nut trees, while in the middle the quick growing

cottonwoods have already attained a height of 25,

feet. On the far side of these, the planting is reversed until you end up with shrubs again. Fences are strung on either side of the shelter belt to keep cattle out. The weeds have to be kept down the first few years to gain their maximum results in the

grapes. That is only a small part in the program of humility through which they go. Everyone at the Novitiate makes his own bed, from the president down. Brother Reinkey has been at the Novitiate since 1923. He is still a. young man, only in his early 30s. He is short and built like a football player. : He is a swell talker, enjoys living, and ‘has a sense| of humor that makes his eyes crinkle and his mouth curl when he talks. He speaks of the .wine business as “the game,” when something goes wrong it’s a “headache,” ‘and he says “darn” and tells jokes about what the Father said the night he ran into the wine press in the dark. o "®t 2

A Sense of Humor

Just over the hill from the winery lives Yehudi Menuhin, the violinist. - He frequently stops in when he’s out walking. He has never been over to play for the boys, however. Six years ago the Novitiate winery had a bad fire. It burned much of the old building, and they lost 40,0000 gallons of wine. I asked Brother Reinkey if wine would burn. He said no, there wasn’t enough alcohol in it. However, there is something about sherry that causes it to vaporize, and that’s dangerous. The other church winery, the Christian Brothers, had a bad accident that way. They had a candle too close to an open sherry vat, and it exploded, blew the side out of the building and hurt several of the Brothers. Eighty per cent of the Novitiate’s 100,000 gallons a year is sacramental wine. The other is straight commercial trade, like any other winery. The have agents in. various cities, but can’t afford to keep a salesman on the road. If you think churchmen don’t have a sense of humor, you should see the sticker the Novitiate attaches to overdue bills when it mails them out. At the top is a line drawing “of a. kneeling priest, his

head buried in his hands, his long robes wrapped|

about his ankles. - And below it is printed this verse: “Every day we kneel and pray To get a letter soon from you, That would contain the check to pay Your wine account now long oer due!”

hospital employces got up a dance. It cost $20, most of which went to pay for Hart's orchestra. Up to that time Alva didn’t know Mabel, but as luck would have it, he had the first dance with her. It was a schottische, he remembers. After that they saw a lot of one another, but it took all of two years, says Alva, before Mabel could make up her mind. To tell you about Sadie Little's: affair, I have to lug in Frank Stuckie and Lettie Becket. And, -of course, Frank Holsapple. Back in the days when they worked at the hospital most of the courting was done in the dark recesses of the old chapel. And to complicate matters still more, they had to do their courting mighty fast because back in the Nineties during the administration of Dr. Wright, all the employees had to be in their rooms, ready for bed, by 9:15 p. m. # s ”

The Divine Scheme

Well, one night Frank Stuckie took Lettie Becket to ‘the chapel to propose to her. That very same night Frank Holsapple took Sadie Little to the same place for the same purpose. Can you beat it? Fortunately they picked‘ different sides of the chapel YO] do their courting. Next morning when Frank Stuckie met Frank Holsapple, he got around to asking him

about Sadie and whether he was getting anywhere] -

with his plan of persuading her to be his wife. And believe it ‘or -not, right then. and there it developed that both men had been accepted the night before. In the sante room at the same time, mind you. E Sometimes, by Gosh, you-can persuade me that the divine scheme of things is un on some kind of a plan after all. The next meeting of the Pleasant Memory Club will be held in January. Maybe I can pick up some more then.

good Virginia temper of the Carter Glass model, Mr. Early has fired one which was not in the official script, as when, to take a pot shot at Tommy Corcoran whom he dislikes intensely, he told the press that the “Brain Trust was out the window.” For that one, which backfired, Mr. Roosevelt presented Mr. Early with a bright red necktie—“to match your face.” But carefully: deliberated criticisms of Premier Molotov and Secretary Wallace are something else again. Each morning Mr. Early spends some time with Mr. Roosevelt. These conferences take place in the President’s bedroom. Mr. Roosevelt has breakfast in bed, goes through the morning newspapers—he. is one of the closest newspaper readers in Washington— and by the time Mr. Early arrives they are ready to chew over the morning’s news. Then Mr. Early goes to his office in the small building adjoining the White House itself, and there receives the press. It was at these press conferences, fresh from his breakfast sessions with Mr. Roosevelt, that Mr. Early let go at Wallace and a few days later at Molotov. :

Mr. Roosevelt's Prophet

You can draw your own conclusions. Washington’s is that Mr. Early has beccme, to a greater degree than-ever before, the mouthpiece of the President in important matters of policy which either are of such a nature that the President would rather not speak in his own name, or cannot wait for his regular Tuesday and Friday press conferences. * In cracking back at Molotov, Mr. Roosevelt took the play away from the State Department. He was angered, and instead of trusting to a staid and circumspect reply from cautious Secretary Hull, he decided to talk right back through Secretary Early. For a long time Mr. Roosevelt has been his own Secretary of the Navy. Now he appears to have become His own Secretary of State. As such Mr. Early is his prophet.

wind re each ghislier- belt should be a half mile long. About 14 or. 15 old-time farm people—men and women—met me there,. The forestry representatives told me that because this section of Kansas once had trees, some of the earlier settlers recognized their value and planted hundreds of trees themselves. They at once took advantage of the help offered by the Government and were its best co-operators. One of the councilmen told me. that now the value of this planting had become apparent to many farmers, who at first scoffed at the idea that you could make trees grow and: had considered it a waste of both money and time. One white-haired woman said to me that she had not believed in it, but had been willing to try it out because women were more willing to try new things than men. Now her family called the planting her forest, but they no longer made fun of her. Another Councilman told me that there were a few people still who refused to co-operate on the ground that it was the wrong Administration making the suggestions. I remember well some of the gibes this idea ‘evoked and it was certainly a satisfaction to see the results in better crops which wind protection had brought to many a farmer's land. ‘We covered miles of dirt roads .yesterday. those farms where oil has been found, and a few other farms, looked prosperous and well kept, I think it is evident that many. of these farmers have been hard hit the past few years. : ‘We left last night for Kansas City, where we joined Mss.

Therefore, what last summer were only blueprints or bright ideas, have now been put into cffect,. and recent weeks have seen important programs in strengthening the defenses of the Canal afd the whole vital Caribbean area. For example— A passenger ship goes through the Canal today—but not with her own captain at the helm. She first is searched by a squad of American soldiers, who then board her and direct her transit of the Canal. And that ship is an American liner! The troops who come aboard a German ship are not just a squad, but an entire company.

Further moves to solve this vital problem of Canal defense have been to continue work on new anti-air-craft guns, searchlights and listening stations, and to place air defense in charge of massive, expert Brigadier.
