Bills designed to accomplish these two -worthwhile developments were introduced and passed by both houses of the -Legislature, but they failed to receive executive approval. - -In rejecting the bills, the Governor felt that they represented only a -part of an over-all development of a future state parks program. As the -head of this greatest of touring and motoring states, he fully -recognizes the merit of roadside rests and the Redwood Highway bypass -and indicates that they will receive further consideration during the -budget session of the Legislature in 1956. - -The touring business is a billion dollar industry in California. It has -become an integral and even necessary part of our state’s economy. -Whatever money is spent to foster and develop our tourist trade is an -investment that will inevitably bring rich returns. - -If California wishes to maintain its lead in the touring world, roadside -rests are a “must.” All but five of the 48 states already have roadside -rest programs. These carefully-picked, off-highway spots are places -where motorists may make stops in safety. They also encourage motorists -to keep highways clean by providing free facilities for eating lunches -and disposing of litter. - -Building a bypass highway around the redwood groves in Humboldt County -is imperative. If a four-lane highway were plowed through them, along -the path of the present route, there would be a shameful destruction of -these beautiful and awe-inspiring marvels of the botanic kingdom. Some -groves would be virtually eliminated. However, a bypass development to -preserve these great trees can’t be put off much longer. The present -route carries an increasing burden of traffic and the need for an -improved highway grows more urgent each day. - -Undoubtedly these two important measures will receive favorable action -during the Legislature’s budget session next year. In fact, California -can’t afford to let them be delayed too long. - - - - - _AROUND MONTEREY BAY - Land of California’s Beginnings Offers Many a Charm for the Visitor_ - - -In few places do History and Tradition, Romance and the Wonders of -Nature combine to offer so much to the visitor as in the region -surrounding the Bay of Monterey. - -In the north is Santa Cruz, with its famous beach and lovely gardens, -and backed by the Santa Cruz Mountains with their redwoods. Southward -are historic old Monterey and Carmel, the art colony which has now -become a Mecca for sight-seers and vacationists. South, again, extends a -road between the mountains and the sea which is one of California’s -scenic marvels. - -And as if all this were not enough, Nature has endowed the inland -valleys with such soil and climate that agriculture flourishes on a -tremendous scale. - - [Illustration: {uncaptioned}] - -Santa Cruz grew from the mission of the same name, founded in 1791, and -the settlement of Branciforte, established six years later. It might -have been any other community in pastoral California until the Gold -Rush, but then the newcomers demanded vegetables, which the Santa Cruz -area was able to supply, and lumber, for which the redwood forests in -the nearby mountains were raided. - - [Illustration: _Surf and sea-fowl, cliffs and rocky islets, - characterize Monterey and Santa Cruz areas. View above is from - Lighthouse Point, Santa Cruz._] - -Even in the seventies, however, this was known as a resort region, where -the nabobs from San Francisco came to take their ease and recuperate -from the strains of their latest coups of high finance. It came into -full stature with the building of its first beach casino in 1906. Though -this promptly burned, it was as promptly replaced with the ornate -structure the public sees today. This has been further improved and -renovated in recent times, as has also the Coconut Grove dancing -pavilion which is an outstanding beach feature. Beside the mile-long -beach of white sand with its beautifully clear water there is an indoor -salt-water plunge and a boardwalk which runs eastward to the San Lorenzo -River. These, with a varied assortment of rides and concessions, drew -2,000,000 visitors last year and bid fair to excel that figure by a -fifth this season. - -The city has other claims to fame in that it is the scene of the annual -Miss California contest and the terminus of a yearly yacht race from San -Francisco. - -In the Santa Cruz Art League Galleries is a life-size waxwork, “The Last -Supper,” modeled on DaVinci’s famous painting of the same name. In four -years it has been visited by more than 260,000 persons. - - _Blue and Peaceful or Bleak and Storming, the Ocean Wields a - Never-Ending Influence Over the Region_ - - [Illustration: _Cormorants find Lone Sentinel Rock, off Seabright - Beach, a favored resting place._] - - [Illustration: _Pleasure craft by scores find anchorage beside Santa - Cruz’ Municipal Wharf, where also fishing vessels moor and many an - angler drops a line._] - -In the nearby mountains are the permanent convention sites of several -religious groups, one of which includes a building capable of seating -5,000 persons. These and other conventions rank virtually as an industry -in Santa Cruz’ economy. But Santa Cruz is more than a resort or -convention city. It is a city of flowers. The Spanish Garden at its city -hall is beautiful. The drive north along the ocean front takes the -visitor past bluffs which are ablaze with colorful succulents and -flowers. In season, whole hillsides south of the city flame with yellow -bush lupine. Some of these plants have trunks as thick through as a -man’s leg. - - _PACIFIC OCEAN_ - - [Illustration: _Pelicans may be seen on every wharf and pier, almost - every rock, from Santa Cruz to Carmel. Wise looking old birds, - aren’t they?_] - -Bulbs, cut flowers and nursery stock are the biggest crop in the Santa -Cruz area, though a vast quantity of strawberries is raised and the -loganberry was developed in a Santa Cruz garden by James H. Logan, -banker, attorney and superior judge, who crossed the wild blackberry -with the Lawton berry to produce the delectable result. Brussels sprouts -are another outstanding crop. - -Santa Cruz also raises mushrooms, in old caves once used for aging wine -and in newer concrete structures. - -The largest bulb farms are at Capitola, shipping 3,500,000 tulip, lily, -dahlia and begonia bulbs a year. As each of these in turn comes into -bloom these farms offer a sight to be seen nowhere else. Championing the -region’s claim to being the “Begonia Capital of the United States,” a -festival is held each year on the waters of Soquel Creek, with thousands -of blooms scattered over the water and colorful floating displays. - - [Illustration: _For more than 2,000,000 visitors a year, Santa Cruz - means FUN—fun in the indigo-dark water, fun on the fine white beach, - fun ashore._] - -San Lorenzo Canyon, which begins a bare stone’s throw from Santa Cruz, -is full of summer homes and resorts, including one famous inn where a -mountain stream runs through the dining room. - - [Illustration: _This ancient span, moved from original site to - DeLaveaga Park, in Santa Cruz, recalls times when horsepower was - really horses._] - - [Illustration: _Color beyond description decks bulb farms near - Capitola each autumn, well justifies the name “Begonia Capital of - the World.”_] - -Up this canyon, too, is the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, better -known as “The Santa Cruz Big Trees.” The park comprises nearly 20,000 -acres, but the “Big Trees” are a compact group, which may be seen in an -easy walk of about a mile. - -Farther north is Big Basin Redwoods Park, the oldest and largest of the -State Park system, with many virgin growth trees and an interesting -“Nature Lodge” which shows, besides flora and fauna of the park, the -methods used in early day redwood lumbering. - - [Illustration: _Wind and sea carve endlessly at the cliffs west of - Santa Cruz. This graceful arch in Natural Bridges State Park is one - of the results._] - -In the city of Santa Cruz itself is Natural Bridges State Park, a -notable example of erosion, and along the coast in Santa Cruz County are -six other state parks—Seacliff Beach, where a World War I concrete -freighter is used for a fishing pier and a fine road parallels the -cliffs; Sunset Beach, with a high lookout and picnic ground under -twisted cypresses; Capitola Beach, where there is a special pool for -small fry; New Brighton Beach, Manresa Beach and Zmudowski Beach. At -some of these campsites are available. - -All through the mountains are interesting roads: the Empire Grade route -from Santa Cruz through Bonnie Doon to Boulder Creek is particularly -pointed out to visitors. In spring, so are the mountain apple orchards -along the Valencia Creek route from Santa Cruz to Watsonville. - - [Illustration: _MONTEREY BAY - Some principal points of interest and routes around the bay_] - - REDWOODS - HENRY COWELL - REDWOODS - •SANTA CRUZ - Lorenzo River - Branciforte CO - CAPITOLA - •WATSONVILLE - Pajaro River - MOSS LANDING - CASTROVILLE - 17 Mile Drive - PACIFIC GROVE - MONTEREY - _MONTEREY PENINSULA_ - PEBBLE BEACH - CARMEL - POINT LOBOS - Carmel River - TO BIG SUR - Salinas River - FORD ORD MILITARY RESERVATION - •SALINAS - TO KING - • _Offices of the California State Automobile Association_ - -Highly scenic routes from the north to the Monterey Bay region are, -first, the Skyline Drive from San Francisco, then down to the San -Lorenzo Valley and on through its fine redwoods to Santa Cruz, and, -second, the beautiful highway which follows the shoreline from San -Francisco south. The main route over the mountains from Los Gatos to -Santa Cruz is spectacular. The highway from Santa Cruz to Watsonville is -a concrete ribbon between lovely rolling hills gay with color. On the -Hecker Pass route from the Santa Clara Valley to Watsonville you can see -redwoods, the whole coast of Monterey Bay, and four charming little -lakes. The Chittenden Pass route, used by railroad and highway, -traverses a gorge of real scenic interest. - - [Illustration: _Big Basin Redwoods State Park, oldest and most - popular of the state system, acts as host to more than 500,000 - visitors a year._] - - [Illustration: _Main avenue of approach to Santa Cruz is this fine - highway from Los Gatos. Curving gently through the Santa Cruz - Mountains, it brings to view a wealth of lovely scenes. Under - construction is a by-pass which will take its traffic off Los Gatos’ - streets._] - -Santa Cruz has its face to the future. Monterey, at the other end of -Monterey Bay, never forgets that it was the place where history began -for this region. - -It was in what is now the city of Monterey that Portola, first governor -of California, and Father Junipero Serra landed in 1770. Under an oak -tree near the shore the good father held a service and founded a -mission. A stone cross today marks the spot, though the mission was soon -removed to its present site at the mouth of the Carmel Valley to be away -from the presidio, or military post, which Portola set up. At this -mission Father Serra made his headquarters and from it he supervised the -building of the mission chain. - -Under Spanish rule, presidio and mission were almost all the settlement -but after Mexico had gained independence, adobe homes grew up in the -hills, stores were built along the crooked streets and the Mexican -government, less averse to foreign trade than the Spaniards, built a -customs house. This still stands and, restored, houses a museum. It is -one of five State Historical Monuments in the region, the others being -the Serra landing place already mentioned: the Casa del Oro, which -housed a store: the house where Robert Louis Stevenson lived for a few -months late in 1879, and California’s First Theater, originally a -sailors’ boarding house. - -There are also standing more than a score of other structures erected in -this Mexican era, including one built in 1835 by Thomas Oliver Larkin, -first United States consul at Monterey, and Colton Hall, meeting place -of the Constitutional Convention in 1849. This, like almost all the -other remaining buildings, has been restored. - -Monterey has laid out a scenic route leading directly to or near all of -these historic structures, and also including several historic sites. -Visitors may traverse this route merely by following an orange line -painted on the street paving. At many points on it, special parking is -reserved for them. - -Whichever way you turn, there is something to be seen in this region. -Just across from the Customs House is Fisherman’s Wharf, where the -restaurants would feel unhappy if they had to serve you today fish that -was caught as long ago as yesterday. Alongside it, the fishing fleet, -decked in all the colors of the rainbow, rides at anchor. Farther along -the beautiful ocean drive is the Hopkins Marine Institute, operated by -Stanford University, and beyond that is Pacific Grove, with its -beautiful marine park and beach at Lover’s Point and its famous -Butterfly Trees. - -Each October, thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate from Canada and -Alaska to cluster on these pine trees in a small reservation known as -Butterfly Park. - -How the butterflies know which trees are “home” no one can explain, for -they are hatched and pass through their chrysalis stage in the North. -Indeed, in recent years it appears they have become confused: the number -now visiting the original trees is greatly reduced and many of them are -frequenting other pines several blocks away. - - [Illustration: _Home ports for several hundred fishing vessels are - Monterey, Santa Cruz and Moss Landing. This is part of the fleet - which bases at Monterey._] - - _Santa Cruz Means Redwoods and Mountains, Fertile Fields and Fragrant - Orchards, Long White Beaches, Fishing, Festivals and Fun for All_ - - [Illustration: _Party boats on which the land-lubber may embark for - a day of deep-sea fishing are operated from Monterey and Santa - Cruz._] - -Also not to be overlooked in Pacific Grove is an excellent Museum of -Natural History. Its collection of Monterey County birds and its -displays of marine life found in nearby waters are exceptionally -complete. In Butterfly Park is another museum, though it is called a -gallery, in which are displayed hundreds upon hundreds of butterflies, -moths and other insects. - -If, like most visitors to Monterey, you continue to follow the bay -shore, where miles of wildflowers adorn the bluffs, you will come -eventually to the Seventeen Mile Drive, which runs through a tremendous -private preserve. On this, for most of the way, you travel with the -fantastically blue ocean on one hand and truly marvelous dark green -forest on the other. At times your route runs on low bluffs near the -ocean, and again you are on rocky cliffs high above. Back among the -trees, near the Pebble Beach area where the sports car races are held -every year, you frequently see homes that are almost palaces. - -On your way you pass Cypress Point, which is one of only two places in -the world where the Monterey cypress is indigenous, and Midway Point, a -rugged rocky spine jutting into the sea and bearing a single lone and -twisted cypress, probably the most photographed tree in the world. Not -far away is the Ghost Tree, another cypress whose whitened trunk and -limbs seem like the bones and shroud of a fleeing wraith. Then your -route leads past Del Monte Lodge, with its array of fashionable shops, -and on through Pebble Beach, and thence to Carmel. - -Carmel is unique, a “village” conceived by artists and now perhaps the -home of more well known writers, painters and other workers in the arts -than any other community in the state. Carmel has no street numbers, no -mail delivery, and you have to get permission from the town council -before you may even cut down a tree on your own property. - - [Illustration: _In spring the apple blossoms whiten thousands of - trees and spread their delicate fragrance over many a mile in the - Watsonville area._] - -In Carmel the trucks in which garbage is collected are adorned with -baskets of flowers. The street signs bear carved and painted -decorations—a pine cone, a squirrel, a ship under full sail, or -something else associated with the region. The shops are small but -legion, many of them hidden away in courts and arcades which the -non-resident is likely to pass unwittingly. Their stocks are -fabulous—and not all of it expensive, either. - -In between are quaint places to lodge, to lunch, to dine or take tea -after the English manner. Of course there are conventional -establishments, too, but somehow everything in Carmel seems to have just -a little different flavor. - -The town stands on an oak-and-pine-clad slope with a magnificent beach -fronting on Carmel Bay at its foot. Along the shore is a lovely drive, -on which are homes beyond the dreams of most folk. Back among the trees -are others. The comfortable domiciles built by the original artist -colony still exist, but they are a minority; Carmel has become a place -to which the wealthy, as well as the well-to-do and the merely -comfortable, come to spend their later years. - -Carmel has an outdoor theater, a Bach Festival and an art gallery -maintained by an artists’ co-operative. Its Church of the Wayfarer has a -garden containing, it is said, every tree, shrub, herb and flower -mentioned in the Bible. Other gardens, formal and informal, are -everywhere. Once a year a number of the finest are thrown open for -public inspection. - -And then there is the Mission San Carlos de Borromeo, where Father Serra -held sway. The present church is not the one he knew; it was not begun -until nine years after his death in 1784. But under its sanctuary floor -he, Padre Crespi, Padre Lasuen and another lie buried. The structure has -many features distinctive from the usual mission architecture, among -them its massive south tower, with outside staircase and Saracenic dome, -and a star window. It is of sandstone and has a vaulted roof as it did -originally but in restoration the roof angle was made less sharp. Some -of the original decoration may be seen in a small chapel to the left of -the entrance. In a side chapel is a magnificent sarcophagus in marble -and bronze, the work of Jo Mora. - -A few miles south of the old mission is one of Nature’s -wonderlands—Point Lobos Reserve State Park. Here stands the second -native grove of Monterey Cypress, and here the ocean batters ceaselessly -against spectacular rocky points which rise precipitously to make -fjord-like coves. In these deep, sharp, inlets the blue water boils into -furious bursts of white foam and spray, forming always-changing pictures -of incomparable beauty. - - _Lush Valleys of the Salinas and Pajaro Rivers Rich in Pastoral Charm, -Even Richer in Their Vast Yields of Lettuce, Apples, Berries, Livestock_ - - [Illustration: _Lettuce, famed “green gold” of the Salinas region, - stretches in row after row for miles along the highways through the - valley._] - - [Illustration: _Beef cattle fatten on green hills and pasture lands - in southern Monterey County, famed stock-raising area since mission - times._] - -Offshore is a group of rocks haunted by both California and Steller sea -lions, an island much used by seafowl and naturally named “Bird Island,” -and a roiling, turbulent channel appropriately called “The Devil’s -Cauldron” which is a favorite spot of the sea otter. These strange -creatures were long thought to have been hunted to extinction but about -30 of them appeared in 1938 off Bixby Creek, 12 miles south of Point -Lobos, and there are now believed to be almost 100 in the group. Some -ardent pursuers of wild life are already asserting that the otter have -now increased to such an extent that the “crop” should be “harvested”—a -policy which could easily result in extinguishing the species. - -A mile below Point Lobos is Carmel Highlands, an area of rich estates -and fine homes, some of them set on the very edge of the continent. The -James house, in this area, has been called the most beautiful residence -in the United States. And the gardens hereabout are a thing to marvel -at. - -Beyond “the Highlands” runs a real road of romance, a motor highway -carved from the seaward face of the Santa Lucia mountains. Most of the -distance to its junction with other routes at San Luis Obispo there is -nothing between this road and the blue, blue sea but the cliffs. Above -it, on the east, tower the mountains. It is no road for the man in a -hurry, but for one who loves Nature it is glorious. - - [Illustration: _South from Carmel, in the trees or on the - cliffs—sometimes almost built out over the ocean—are some of the - most beautiful homes in America._] - -This is wildflower country. Within a 20-mile stretch you may see, in -season, wild roses, primroses, California poppies, yellow lupine, wild -mustard spreading over fields like a froth of foamy yellow, great bushes -of blue lupine marching up rocky hillsides, almost cliffs: Queen Anne’s -lace, succulents of many colors, and sometimes succulents which are not -in bloom but whose foliage has turned a rich, dark red; Indian paint -brush—all these abundant, in masses easy to see and recognize as you -roll along. A naturalist could find many more. - -The Spaniards would have come by this route if they could, but the -mountains were too rugged, there was no path between sea and cliffs, and -so they were forced inland. That this road was ever constructed was -largely due to the efforts of Dr. John Roberts of Monterey, who used to -ride horseback on calls to remote and isolated ranches up the canyons. -It was almost 20 years in building. - -South along this road from Point Lobos, beyond Garrapata Creek and Rocky -Creek and Bixby Creek, past the light house at Point Sur and inland a -few miles, is Pfeiffer-Big Sur State Park, a redwood park which is the -entrance to 250,000 acres of wilderness area in the adjacent Los Padres -National Forest. These redwoods are almost the most southerly of all: -the actual southernmost ones are on Mill Creek, some 25 miles farther -along the road. - -And so to Watsonville. Watsonville exists because in 1852 one John H. -Watson decided that the location was suitable for a town and, with -another man, forthwith laid out one. Watsonville is strictly business. -Even before Watson’s time, the Amestis, Castros, Vallejos and other -Spanish pioneer families were busily raising grain and potatoes here. -California’s great lettuce industry got its start in the Watsonville -region and today it is a busy center for the raising and processing of -lettuce, berries, beans, brussels sprouts, and many, many apples. - -The traveler passing through Watsonville sees only a rather busy main -street, plaza and business section, but only a little way to one side is -an area where quick-freezing plants, ice plants, warehouses and -lettuce-chilling works cover block after block, with switch engines -busily shifting empty cars to be loaded and loaded cars to be made into -trains and headed east. - -Some eight miles south of Watsonville is Moss Landing, a port for -vessels of moderate draft, from which the grain crops of the region once -were shipped. Now it is the home of a picturesque fishing fleet and the -scene of one of the largest steam-electric plants in the West. This -giant, which the public may visit by obtaining a permit, produces -771,000 horsepower. Its eight boilers are each as high as a ten-story -building and, the better to withstand any possible earthquake, are -suspended in steel towers more massive than many bridge piers. Operators -in the control room use television to watch the leaping flames inside -the boilers and to supervise change-overs from natural gas to fuel oil -when required. Steam pressure is an incredible—except to engineers—1,405 -pounds per square inch in one section of the plant and 1,510 pounds in -another. - - _Scenes and Structures on Unique “Path of History” in Monterey Bring - Memories of the Days When California Was Young_ - - [Illustration: _The first building in California in which a stage - performance was given for an admission fee. Pacific and Scott Sts., - Monterey._] - - [Illustration: _The Casa Amesti, on Monterey’s Path of History. - Built early in Mexican era by Jose Amesti as a wedding gift to his - daughter._] - - [Illustration: _The old Customs House at Monterey. Here Commodore - John Drake Sloat, on July 7, 1846, raised the American flag and - claimed for the United States the entire West, all of which was then - known under the name of California._] - -Between here and Monterey you may drive for miles between fields laid -out in neat rows of thistly artichoke plants. Castroville calls itself -“The Artichoke Center of the World,” and with reason, for the annual -production from this area is more than 1,300,000 boxes. - - _Natural Wonders and the Works of Man Combine to Create a Region of - Tremendous Beauty and Wide Appeal to Students, Vacationers, and the - Motorist Seeking Something New_ - - [Illustration: _Wildflowers in vast profusion and a galaxy of colors - line the cliffs along the bayshore at picturesque old Pacific - Grove._] - - [Illustration: _High rocky spines, spare gnarled trees, an - ever-pounding surf and blue water are typical of shoreline at Point - Lobos State Park._] - - [Illustration: _This is Pebble Beach, asserted by many to be the - finest of all golf courses. Finals of the Bing Crosby Open are - played here._] - -It is inland, however, in the great valley of the Salinas, that -agriculture really hits its stride and while production in Watsonville’s -Pajaro Valley is tremendous, that which centers in the Salinas area is -even greater. - -In the beginning Salinas was a center for livestock raising. Then -overtones of agriculture were added as potatoes began to be raised -thereabout. Later, sugar beets came in and the largest beet sugar -refinery in the United States was built a few miles west of the city. -Today, lettuce is the big item—two to three crops a year, worth more -than $40,000,000. - -Production on most of the larger ranches is on virtually an assembly -line basis. Long machines, drawn by tractors, span 18 rows of the ripe -lettuce. On a platform ride the packers, usually eight. Ahead of the -machine walk cutters, one for each row, who cut the crisp green heads. -Behind the machines are other workers who place the heads on a table -before the packers. These packers place the heads in cartons which pass -on to a worker who closes them, and another who staples the closure -tight. The whole work proceeds so rapidly that a special worker is -required merely to unfold cartons. - -Trucks, each of which holds exactly half a carload, follow the picking -machine and as the pallets on each truck are piled to the proper height -with cartons of lettuce, that truck departs for a cooling plant where, -under intense vacuum, the lettuce is cooled from the temperature of the -hot field to a point just above freezing in a matter of only 18 to 20 -minutes. Then it goes into pre-iced refrigerator cars, with the cartons -still on the original pallets, and presently is on its way to market. - -The old methods, by which lettuce was hauled to packing sheds for -trimming, packing and icing, are now all but superseded and firms with -tremendous investments in ice plants are wondering what to do with them, -for when it was necessary to ice each crate of lettuce Salinas produced -more ice than New York City. - -Besides the lettuce which has given it the name “Salad Bowl of the -World,” the Salinas Valley also produces more than $6,000,000 worth of -dry beans, $12,000,000 worth of carrots, $5,500,000 worth of celery and -quantities of truck crops every year. The sugar beet crop runs to almost -$7,000,000 a year. - -In spite of its agricultural importance, however, Salinas still thinks -of itself in terms of the old stock-raising days. The annual Salinas -California Rodeo was started in 1911 to perpetuate the sports and -traditions of the Old West. Membership on the 50-man board which -controls this four-day event is a coveted honor. In this fast, dramatic, -colorful spectacle, competition is of world championship caliber, prizes -amount to approximately $50,000 and every effort is made to see that the -stock is capable of bringing out the best in each competitor. “Salinas,” -said one rodeo rider, “is where they separate the men from the boys.” - -Yet, while agriculture and stock raising overshadow them, this region, -too, has its recreation features. Paraiso Hot Springs and Tassajara Hot -Springs are well known resorts. The padres and, before them, the -Indians, made much use of the Paraiso Springs. - - [Illustration: _Mission San Carlos de Borromeo, at Carmel, is often - called the most beautiful of all the missions. Its Saracenic tower - is distinctive._] - -Like all the other sections traversed by the route of the padres, the -Salinas Valley had its missions—Mission de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, -near the town of Soledad, and Mission San Antonio de Padua, near Jolon. -Both fell completely into ruins but now are being restored. Only a -beginning has been made at Soledad, but San Antonio has been largely -rebuilt by the Franciscan Fathers and is in use as a training school for -young brothers. It is a “working” mission—that is, not only a place for -worship but a place where industry is carried on, as it used to be at -the original mission, shoemaking, carpentry, book binding, the making of -adobe brick and tile for the rebuilding of the two wings which are still -to be reconstructed, and all the maintenance work. - -In addition to agriculture, food processing, and the activities -dependent upon the sight-seers and pleasure-seekers, the economy of this -region also derives considerable support from industry. It digs and -processes sand for making glass and for other purposes. Salt and -refractories are manufactured. Lumbering continues on privately-owned -lands in the Santa Cruz mountains, with processing at Santa Cruz. Near -Santa Cruz is one of the largest cement production plants in America, if -not the world. - -There are small-scale textile operations and a saddle leather plant in -Santa Cruz, which city is also intensely proud of its new chewing gum -plant. There are several seed farms producing flower seeds—a pretty -sight in summer—and more producing field crop seed. There are busy -commercial fishing fleets. - -Stock-raising, with King City as an important center, brings the region -more than $3,500,000 every year and dairying almost as much again. - -Oil was discovered near San Ardo about eight years ago and production -from this field, which has 480 active wells, holds steady at 30,000 -barrels a day. - - _Mountains Marching to the Sea, Red Tiles Amid the Green of Cypress, - White Clouds, Bare Cliffs and Crashing Surf—These Spell Enchantment_ - - [Illustration: _Highway One crosses this graceful span, whose arch - rises 260 feet above Bixby Creek, on its way southward beside the - ocean._] - - [Illustration: _The Monterey Peninsula’s Seventeen Mile Drive is - world-known for its beauty and variety. Above, a distant glimpse of - Monterey._] - -Also important economically are the many military installations. The -vast Hunter Liggett Military Reservation has headquarters near Jolon. At -Fort Ord, a few miles north of Monterey, 30,000 to 35,000 military -personnel and about 2,000 civilian employees are on duty. The once-famed -Del Monte Hotel at Monterey has become a postgraduate school for naval -engineering officers, with a faculty and student body totalling about -2,000. The Presidio of Monterey, established so long ago by Portola, is -now an army school where some 400 specialists instruct about 2,000 -students in one or another of 26 languages. - -Of late years the construction industry has been very important, for -cities all through Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties are growing so -rapidly they are fairly bursting at the seams. At Salinas, residential -development has extended far north of the Rodeo Grounds, which once were -out in the country. Outside the city limits to the east is another -development, called Alisal, almost equal in size to the residential area -of Salinas itself. And there are several smaller subdivisions. At -Monterey new subdivisions and communities, some very beautiful, extend -far to the north and many fine old trees are being taken from properties -along the Carmel Road to make room for more homes. Carmel has overflowed -into Carmel Valley. Santa Cruz is adding residential construction at a -rate of about $3,000,000 annually. Watsonville has grown more than 20 -per cent since 1950. - -Busy as it may be, however, it is all a friendly, hospitable country. -Nowhere will you find people too hurried to bid you welcome and to do -what they can to make your stay enjoyable. - - —Written for Motorland by D. R. Lane. - - [Illustration: _Along the coastline south of Carmel, the highway is - literally hewn from the cliffs. “Island” above is really Point Sur, - made famous by Robinson Jeffers in his “The Women of Point Sur.”_] - - - - - Personal Accident Insurance - - -You may go through life without being in a traffic accident, or you may -be involved in a traffic mishap and escape injury. But the statistics -are not in your favor. You may be unfortunate enough to become a -“statistic” in police or hospital records. - -In these days of heavy traffic, even the most careful driver may be -involved in an accident; and police and hospital records show that -traffic crashes today result in more serious personal injuries than ever -before. - -That is why the California State Automobile Association has added extra -value to CSAA membership, and is now issuing a Certificate of Personal -Accident Insurance providing greater protection to members than -heretofore. As in the past, this Personal Accident Insurance is included -in your membership without extra charge. Beginning July 1 last year, the -new certificates were issued to members as they renewed their -memberships, and to new members as they were enrolled. - - [Illustration: _Continuous membership of three years or more - maintains the maximum benefits provided by new Personal Accident - Insurance._] - -This new Personal Accident coverage increases in value over the first -three years of membership on condition that membership is continuous. -The increased benefits remain in effect contingent on continued prompt -renewal of membership over the years. For members with three or more -years of consecutive membership, maximum coverage became effective for -the current membership year upon issuance of the new insurance -certificate. - -The schedule of benefits in this added feature of continuous CSAA -membership follows: - -Payment to your beneficiary for accidental death involving an automobile -is based on consecutive years of membership; first year, $500; second -year, $1,000; third year and thereafter, $1,500. - -Direct payments to you for other specific losses are also increased -under this _accumulative_ coverage. - -Hospital benefits—$35 a week for a maximum of twelve consecutive -weeks—are retained and all indemnities are subject to the standard -provisions and limitations as specified in the Personal Accident -Certificate. - -Your membership must be continuous to make this new schedule of -increased benefits effective for you; and your membership must be -retained on a continuous basis to keep the increased benefits in effect. -If membership is allowed to lapse, the benefits under the policy revert -to the first year basis if membership is re-instated at a later date. - -This accumulative plan of Personal Accident Insurance based on -continuous membership was adopted by the Board of Directors, not only to -provide more adequate protection, but also to accord recognition to -continuous membership support. - - [Illustration: S. V. Christierson - _Salinas_] - - [Illustration: A. E. Strong - _Santa Cruz_] - - - Four CSAA Offices In Two Counties On Monterey Bay - -In the two counties “around Monterey Bay”—Santa Cruz and Monterey—there -are four offices of the California State Automobile Association. They -are strategically located in four main cities at focal points of the -area’s network of highways to provide best service to the large -membership in the two counties as well as the continuous flow of -visiting members into this noted vacation and tourist region. These -offices and their district managers are: - -_Santa Cruz_, with a branch office in _Watsonville_, C. E. White; -_Salinas_, J. E. Foust; and _Monterey_, Melvin R. Tuttle. - -Two members of the Association’s Board of Directors represent this -region. They are: - -A. E. Strong of Santa Cruz, a vice-president of the CSAA; and S. V. -Christierson of Salinas, civic leader and business executive. - - - Southern San Mateo County Office Moved - -The southern San Mateo County office of the California State Automobile -Association has been moved to new and larger quarters at 1500 Laurel -Avenue in San Carlos. This location is in the Laurel Theater Building, -corner of White Oak and Laurel avenues, one block west of El Camino -Real. The new office provides more adequate service facilities for the -growing membership in this district than was available at the former -location in Redwood City. - - - - - New Legislation Affecting Motorists - - - _IT’S THE LAW - Making Turns Properly On Red Traffic Light_ - - [Illustration: IT’S THE LAW] - - Right turns permitted against a red light must always be made after - stopping and under certain conditions. It is timely to review these - legal provisions in view of the new California law, effective - September 7, governing the procedure of making left turns on a red - light from a one-way street into another one-way street. - - To make a right turn on a red light, the driver should come to a halt - at the intersection as close as practicable to the right-hand curb. - yielding the right of way to pedestrians and other traffic proceeding - as directed by the stop-and-go signal. As soon as the way is clear, - then the right turn may be made. - - However, the law permits local authorities to prohibit such right - turns on a red light in central business districts. Also, local - officials may prohibit right turns on a red light outside the downtown - area at any intersection under their jurisdiction if a sign is erected - at the corner notifying the motorist to that effect. - - On making a left turn against a red light from a one-way street into - another one-way street, the driver should come to a halt at the - intersection as close as practicable to the left-hand curb. When - certain there will be no conflict with foot or vehicle traffic, the - driver may proceed to make the turn. - -Important new motor vehicle laws were passed by the 1955 California -Legislature. Equally important changes and clarifications were made in -many old laws. - -Knowledge of these new regulations and revisions of the Vehicle Code is -naturally vital to you as a motor vehicle owner and operator. - -Several centuries ago a wise thinker, Thomas More, wrote: - -“_All laws are promulgated for this end: that every man may know his -duty, and therefore the plainest and most obvious sense of the words is -that which must be put on them._” - -That advice is heeded in this article interpreting for you the new -regulations and code revisions. The interpretations are actually -summaries stated in everyday, non-legal language to make for easy -reading and quick understanding of the essential elements. - -September 7 is the effective date of these new laws, except for a few -urgency measures which were put into effect immediately upon approval by -the Governor. - - -The present California highway user tax rates will remain in effect -until December 31, 1959, thus assuring the continuation of the state’s -accelerated highway modernization program adopted in 1953. This new law -carried an urgency clause and became effective January 22. - - -It is now provided in the Vehicle Code as well as in the Health and -Safety Code that it is unlawful to dispose of any garbage, refuse or -litter upon any highway or its right of way. - - -Driving under the influence of liquor is a misdemeanor. The penalty for -a first conviction of such a misdemeanor shall be automatically -increased to that of a second conviction, if the driver already has been -previously convicted of a felony for driving while drunk. - - -Revocation of the driving privileges of juvenile offenders is mandatory -upon conviction of certain serious offenses. Revocation or suspension -shall also be imposed upon recommendation by the juvenile court judge -for convictions of less serious offenses. The length of the terms of -revocation or suspension shall be specified. - - -Local authorities, as well as the State Department of Public Works, may -restrict speed to 25 miles per hour because of snow conditions. Local -authorities may also determine the maximum speed allowable on any bridge -or structure, or in any tube or tunnel, constitutes part of a highway. - - -The speed limit on highways where persons are at work shall be a prima -facie limit of 25 miles per hour instead of a fixed limit of 25 miles -per hour. - - -The speed limit for heavy trucks and combinations is increased from 40 -to 45 miles per hour. - - -The Vehicle Code provides that the registered owner of a motor vehicle -is responsible for any parking violation involving the vehicle. That -presumption, however, does not mean that the registered owner is further -presumed to have violated any other provision of the law. - - -To pass a motor vehicle going less than 20 miles an hour on a grade, an -overtaking vehicle must go at least 10 miles an hour faster. In -addition, it must complete the passing movement within a quarter-mile -distance. - - -Heavy trucks shall use only the lane to the immediate left of the -right-hand lane when passing another vehicle on freeways and -multiple-lane highways. Where passing on the right is permitted, trucks -may do so. - - -A peace officer may remove an illegally parked motor vehicle to a garage -or other place of safety. - - -U-turns are prohibited on the approaches to or in front of any fire -station. - - -School Safety Patrol members may be stationed at intersections near as -well as adjacent to a school. The actual presence of a supervisory -school employee is not necessary at a street crossing where a patrol is -maintained. - - -Local authorities are authorized to close certain streets for use by -colleges as well as high schools in giving automobile driving -instructions. - - -School districts, under the Education Code, are allowed to conduct -driver training classes on Saturdays. - - -It is unlawful to refuse to obey the directions of a fireman, whether a -police officer is present or not, when he is protecting fire-fighting -personnel and equipment. - - -Stops at an arterial stop sign are to be made at the limit line, if -marked, even though there may be a crosswalk. - - -Emergency vehicles under certain conditions are permitted to go in a -direction opposed to moving traffic on a one-way street or roadway. - - -Authorities may erect traffic control devices at the intersection of a -highway and a private road or driveway if traffic conditions warrant. - - -License plates shall be mounted on a motor vehicle not less than 12 -inches or more than 60 inches from the ground. They are also not to be -covered with any material which decreases or impairs their legibility. - - -Registration and vehicle license fee reciprocity is granted to motor -vehicles registered in other states pending the establishment of a -California Reciprocity Commission. To prevent needless confusion and -disruption in the interstate movement of vehicles and trade, this law -carried an urgency clause and became effective April 14. - - -The program of quarterly registration of commercial vehicles is -continued indefinitely. - - -Additional summaries of new motor vehicle laws and revisions of the -Vehicle Code will be published in the next issue of Motorland. - - - - - HISTORICALLY SPEAKING - - - _Questions in endless variety are asked by members about California - and Nevada history. Here are a few selected for their general - interest, with answers from authoritative sources._ - - -_What was the background of Father Junipero Serra?_ He was a native of -Majorca, and held the chair of philosophy at the university there when -he was chosen to Christianize the Indians. Before coming to California -he spent several years in Mexico, teaching in the College of San -Fernando and attaining wide influence among the descendants of the -Aztecs as a spiritual leader. - - -_How many capitals has California had?_ Five—Monterey, San Jose, -Vallejo, Benicia and Sacramento. Vallejo was capital twice, the first -time in 1851-2 and again in 1853. - - -_For whom is Truckee named?_ For one of Fremont’s Indian guides. - - -_When was the old Bale Mill, near St. Helena, built?_ In 1846. However, -the present 40 foot wheel is a replacement for the original much smaller -one. - - -_When was the Butterfield stage line established?_ In 1858. It ran from -St. Louis to San Francisco, the longest stage line in the world. - - -_Did the United States make any effort to acquire California prior to -the war with Mexico?_ Yes. The United States offered to buy this -province from Mexico in 1835. - - -_Where was California’s first railroad?_ Between Sacramento and Folsom. -It was opened on February 22, 1856. - - -_What was the first American flag ship to sail into California waters?_ -The Otter, out of Boston, entered the Bay of Monterey in 1796. - - -_Was the hydraulic method of mining ever used outside the Mother Lode?_ -Yes. The largest of all hydraulic workings, the La Grange mine, is near -Weaverville, and the method has been used in many places outside of -California. - - -_Who first travelled the route across Nevada taken later by the Pony -Express?_ This route is credited to a party of scouts sent from Salt -Lake City in 1854 by Brigham Young. The route was followed later by the -stages and is approximately that of the Lincoln Highway. - - [Illustration: THE BABY PULLMAN, _recently placed on the market in - infant supply stores and some department stores, converts the back - seat space of an automobile into a sleep or play area for infants. - It is a padded platform suspended from the top of the front seat by - two rubber-covered hooks and extending over the entire back seat - when opened out.

This information was - provided by The Herrmanns infant supply house, with stores in San - Francisco, Berkeley and San Jose, where the Baby Pullman with pad - retails for $15.93._] - - - - - AUTOMOBILE ANECDOTES - - -The California Division of Highways, says Assistant District Engineer H. -S. Miles, has often cautioned drivers about horseplay while operating a -motor vehicle. Recently a report was received by the Division on an -accident that left no doubt as to which category it belonged. In -response to the question, “_Who in your opinion was at fault?_” the -driver wrote: - -“_The horse. As I was passing a group of horses on the roadway at a slow -speed, two of them started to play and one backed up and sat down on the -right front fender, causing a large dent._” - - -In Helena, Mont., a motorist took a bite out of a ripe plum while -driving his car. Deciding he didn’t like it, he tossed it out of the car -window. - -Where do you think it landed? On the windshield of a Highway Patrolman. -The motorist was fined for dumping garbage on the highway. - - -Montreal police swear this story is true. They received a telephone -complaint from a man reporting the theft of his automobile’s steering -wheel, dashboard, and brake, gas and clutch pedals. Police promised an -immediate investigation. - -A few moments later, however, the phone rang again. The same man said -they needn’t bother. He had got into the back seat of his car by mistake -and thought it was the front seat. - - -In Monroe, Wis., motorists picketed the city hall after officials -decided to raise the fine for parking violations to one dollar. - -It formerly was 10 cents. - - -In Toronto, a motorist hit a hole in a road and his car careened into a -jewelry store window. - -City authorities approved out-of-court settlements of $2,084 to the -driver and $5,125 to the storekeeper. The hole was fixed for $7. - - -“_Did you get his license number?_” Oregon highway patrolmen asked a -motorist after his car was struck by a hit-and-run driver. - -“_I sure did_,” he replied. “_I grabbed it as he drove away._” - -He handed them the license plate. - - - - - SHAKESPEARE ON MOTOR TRAFFIC - - -_Traffic-strangled motorists who tend to long for the “good old days” -might well face the fact that things were no better then. In witness -whereof we give you this late report on early road conditions by that -peerless commentator, William Shakespeare, late of Stratford-on-Avon, -England, as recently recorded in the New York Times Magazine_: - - “The horn, the horn, the lusty horn - Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.” - —_As You Like It._ - - “These high wild hills and rough uneven ways - Draw out our miles and make them wearisome.” - —_Richard II._ - - “Give me that mattock and the wrenching iron.” - —_Romeo and Juliet._ - - “Oh, let him pass.” - —_King Lear._ - - “A very dangerous flat.” - —_The Merchant of Venice._ - - “He must needs go that the devil drives.” - —_All’s Well That Ends Well._ - - “What, will the line stretch out to the crack of doom?” - —_Macbeth._ - - “Traffic confound thee.” - —_Macbeth._ - - “Smile, once more: turn thy wheel.” - —_King Lear._ - - “Is this a holiday?” - —_Julius Caesar._ - - “I can no further crawl, no further go.” - —_A Midsummer Night’s Dream._ - - “I must shift.” - —_The Merry Wives of Windsor._ - - “With what strict patience have I sat.” - —_Love’s Labour’s Lost._ - - - - - Riders of the Andes At the Grand National - OCTOBER 28 TO NOVEMBER 6 - - - [Illustration: _Herdsman Arnold Leonard of Stockton Ranch, Morgan - Hill, leads Hereford heifers to the judging ring at Grand - National._] - -The famed “Riders of the Andes,” elite cavalry troop of the Army of -Chile, will be featured at the Grand National Livestock Exposition, -Horse Show and Rodeo to be held in the San Francisco Cow Palace October -28 to November 6.

They were: - -Oakland, Alameda, Hayward, Stockton, Modesto, Monterey, Pacific Grove, -Hanford, Tracy, Grass Valley, Sausalito, Ross, Manteca, Sebastopol, -Fairfield, Red Bluff, Mount Shasta, Lakeport, Sutter Creek, and Reno, -Nevada. - -In addition to the above awards, 37 cities received Commendation -Certificates for no pedestrian deaths during the year. They were: - -Albany, Arcata, Belmont, Benicia, Burlingame, Carmel, Ceres, Chico, -Concord, Daly City, Dunsmuir, Fairfax, Fowler, Hillsborough, Livermore, -Lodi, Martinez, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Mill Valley, Oroville, Piedmont, -Pittsburg, Roseville, Salinas, San Bruno, Sanger, San Rafael, Santa -Clara, Susanville, Turlock, Ukiah, Vacaville, Willows, Yreka, and Elko -and Sparks, Nevada. - -The cities were judged in their respective population groups on the -basis of pedestrian safety activities and fatality and injury records. - -The nationwide contest spurs direct action in cities to insure greater -pedestrian safety. The results are obvious; fatalities are declining -despite growing motor vehicle registration. Before the contest began in -1939, as many as 15,500 pedestrians were killed a year, compared with -the 7,900 killed in 1954. - - - - - _SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES_ - - -Three-lane highways have a reputation as accident breeders—the middle -lane often being referred to as the no-man’s land of the open road. - -When using the middle lane of a three-lane highway for passing or -turning during daylight hours, a sound driving technique is to turn on -your _headlights_. - -The lights serve as a warning to oncoming motorists not only that the -middle lane is in use but also, and more important, that your car is -approaching them in the middle lane. - -Many motorists are confused by the general appearance of modern -automobiles; and instances have actually occurred where drivers thought -the other car in the middle lane was going in the same direction they -were, until it was too late to avoid an accident. - -There is no law requiring drivers to turn on their headlights under -these circumstances, so don’t depend upon other drivers to have their -lights on if they are in the middle lane. If yours are on, you are not -only being courteous to other drivers, but also protecting yourself by -alerting them to the fact that the middle lane is occupied by an -approaching car. Also, remember to turn off your lights as you pull out -of the middle lane. - - - _Curves AND Crossroads_ - -Sign at entrance to a crossroads town: “Gas killed 3,029 people in this -state last year—2 inhaled it; 27 put a match to it; 3,000 stepped on -it.” - - -_The difference between a straight-eight and the V-eight is just a -matter of whether you like your troubles strung out down the line or all -in one place._ - - -Mrs. Jones (on telephone): “This time you really got yourself out on a -limb!” - -Mr. Jones: “Yes, dear. I drove off a cliff and was hung up all night in -a tree.” - - -_Modern automobiles are getting so free and easy to drive that we need -power steering and power brakes to keep them under control._ - - -Traffic Officer: “Your honor, I followed this man and he drove clear -through town with an arm around this woman.” - -Judge: “Something’s wrong. It’s not logical for a man to drive through -town with his arm around his wife.” - - -_Parking conditions have improved in some localities—you only have to -climb over one car to get into your own._ - - [Illustration: “_With all the gadgets the automobile people put in - their cars, it’s a wonder they wouldn’t think of a garbage disposal - unit._” - —Courtesy George Lichty and the Chicago Sun-Times Syndicate.] - - - Emergency Road Service Contract Station Changes Are Listed for Members - -Recent changes in the list of Emergency Road Service contract stations -serving members of the California State Automobile Association are -reported below.
