Some of the zoos have Nebras- I ka sandhills cranes, geese, ducks, pheasants, antelope and even a bobcat.

They float a flag of their own but that takes second place be low the Stars and Stripes. Whe ther it is five million, more or less, in this “land of sun shine,” there are too many, in the estima tion of a frost bitten Nebras kan, who wants room in which to get around. On a night drive fronj San Romahie Diego to Los Saunders A n g el e a you face a string of glaring headlights 100 miles long. The same drive during daylight, the landlubbers’ interest will likely be centered on the shoreline of the ocean watching the sullen waves roll landward. San Diego is about the oldest settled community on the Paci fic coast, Spanish padres invad ed that community and started a mission center long before the gold rush of the ’49’ers. Today it is a modern city with the mel lowing influence and quiet charm of an architecture of a long gone generation.

Everything here agriculturally is known as a ranch. There are extensive oil fields and within the cities air craft factories predominate in dustrially. there is a call over the radios for workers in these factories, some of which have gone on a 60-hour week, 20 hours figured in the paycheck as overtime. A fe male voice on the radio appeals to wives that if they would like to have their husbands bring home a sizeable paycheck at the weekend that they urge the old man to come in and apply for a job. This spurt of industry, like that of more than a decade ago, rests upon the blood and tears and desolated homes of another war. As a result of a strike of switchmen and yard men ot the railroads, 5,000 employes of auto assembly plants were laid off for a week or more un 12 More Enlistees Are Reported Here Sgt. James R.
