The pedestrian gets a break in
cities. At certain crossings signs
are placed in the middle of the
street which read, “Stop for pe
destrians.” So you may saunter
leisurely across a street and hold
up the lines of automobiles head

Some of the zoos have Nebras- I

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA —
This portion of the earth where
floats Old Glory claims a popu
lation of five million patriots and
they are somewhat up in arms
over the federal tax demands.
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.

San Diego is about the oldest

To the north of Los Angeles’

San Fernando valley, is the city
of that name where among the
things of interest to an observer
from prairieland is an old Span

builders of enduring monuments.
Agriculturally, Southern Cal

pecan groves and dairy and
chicken ranches. Everything here
agriculturally is known as a

fields and within the cities air
craft factories predominate in

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
