Had Enuf Winter? By I. J. Dingman This expression "Had Enough Winter?" nrobably hasn't been uttered with such frequency in I previous years as it has this sea son. We've had -12 in Dec, -17 in Jan., -16 in Feb., and -15 so far in March. Could you name an other year with four consecutive months of -12 or more? Since Monday the skies have turned from bad to better to even better yet; the temper ature range still remained in compact form, and it is begin ning to look as if old man winter is finally trying to make his exit.

Turbulent Gulf Holds Both Fish Washington An island 'n the Gulf of California bears the challenging name of Sal.-ioue-des', or "Get Out if You Cat." An early Spanish explorer nameo it in rueful recognition of the shifting, surging waters which often inundate many low tiny islets h this long, narrow arm of the Pacific. The Gulf of California ex tends some 650 miles between the Mexican mainland and the peninsula of Baja i Lower) Cal ifornia, the National Geographic Society says. Bounded by land on three sides, the Gulf seemingly should be placid. Instead, a combina tion of winds, currents, and tides makes it highly dangerous. Sailors Fear "The Lash" In fair weather or foul, the area is inhospitable. High winds sweep off the peninsula. Sudden storms spring up with little warning. One of the most feared is El Cordo.iazo, or "The Lash," which brings hurricane-force winds and terrifyingly frequent j bolts of lightning. j Even when the Gulf appears calm, it may be shot through with twisting currents. Clocked sometimes at six knots, the wa ters swirl between islands and create immense whirlpools. Tides flowing up the Gulf build tremendous forces as the waters are tunneled inLo the gradually narrowing channel. Low tide brings drops of from 3 to 30 feet. The tidal range at tne head of the Gulf, where the Colorado River empties, averages 23 feet. With the right combination of wind, tide, and current, the wall of water p:les up 30 feet and surges up the bed of the Colora do as a destructive tidal bore. The dangerous waters rank, however, among the world's best fishing p rounds. Commercial fishermen harvest tuna, sardines, mackerel, and turtles. Sports men battle deep-wa.er marlin and swordfish. Yellowtail, cor bina, striped perch, bonita, and giant wh!t sea bass are reeled in along the coast. Gray whales swim down from the Arctic to breed in the warm ! t Plattsmouth j fills arc that i sense tliis ,?a: n ' . 3 o iL HEADY I I1I1LING IPs an exhilarating feel ing to be wrapped up in an engrossing game like basketball heady, in fact.

Dr. Paul Dud ley White, famed cardiologist, has led two National Geographic Society expeditions there to re cord the gray whale's heartbeat. Black Pearls Disappear The Gulf's natural riches at tracted early Spanish explorers. In 1533 on of Cortes' pilots i cached the tin of the peninsula and found oyster beds. Two years later, Corte-i himself es tablished a colony called La Paz near by. Th.e oysters produced black pearls, and the pearl industry became the chief source of pros perity of La Paz. Some of the gems found their way into the collections of European royalty. A mysterious blight wiped out the oyster beds about 20 years ago, but La Paz is enjoying re newed prosperity from thou sands of sports fishermen lured to the fishteeming Gulf. Though Baja California has an arid climate, irrigation is opening new farmland. Resorts and up; dude ranches have sprung several new airfields are in operation; miners are reworking abandoned gold, silver, and cop per mines; and the commercial fishing industry is growing.
