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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<div class="pb" id="Page_2">2</div> -<h2 id="c2"><span class="small"><i><span class="large">AROUND MONTEREY BAY</span></i></span> -<br /><i><span class="smaller">Land of California’s Beginnings Offers Many a Charm for the Visitor</span></i></h2> -<p>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.</p> -<p>In the north is Santa Cruz, with its famous beach and -lovely gardens, and backed by the Santa Cruz Mountains -with their redwoods.

Monterey, at the -other end of Monterey Bay, never forgets that it was the -place where history began for this region.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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 -<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span> -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.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig13"> -<img src="images/p05c.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="435" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>Home ports for several hundred fishing vessels are Monterey, Santa Cruz and Moss Landing.

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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>Carmel is unique, a “village” conceived by artists and -now perhaps the home of more well known writers, -<span class="pb" id="Page_10">10</span> -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.</p> -<div class="img" id="fig15"> -<img src="images/p06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="538" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>In spring the apple blossoms whiten thousands of trees and spread their delicate fragrance over many a mile in the Watsonville area.</i></p> -</div> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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 -<span class="pb" id="Page_11">11</span> -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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p class="center"><b><i>Lush Valleys of the Salinas and Pajaro Rivers Rich in Pastoral Charm, Even Richer in Their Vast Yields of Lettuce, Apples, Berries, Livestock</i></b></p> -<div class="img" id="fig16"> -<img src="images/p06a.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="799" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>Lettuce, famed “green gold” of the Salinas region, stretches in -row after row for miles along the highways through the valley.</i></p> -</div> -<div class="img" id="fig17"> -<img src="images/p06c.jpg" alt="" width="596" height="476" /> -<p class="pcap"><i>Beef cattle fatten on green hills and pasture lands in southern -Monterey County, famed stock-raising area since mission times.</i></p> -</div> -<p>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.

Then overtones of agriculture were added as -potatoes began to be raised thereabout.

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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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.</p> -<p>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 -<span class="pb" id="Page_15">15</span> -of truck crops every year. The sugar beet crop runs to -almost $7,000,000 a year.</p> -<p>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.
