Summer with its long months of ripe beauty fuses into a new season of brilliant colorings and nature in one of her most amiable and love- 'y moods descends upon the land of the giant redwoods with a combin ation of autumn colorings and bracing autumn weather that is considered by many as the most thrilling time of the year. It is a period of happy adven ture for those who love the great out-of-doors, and anyone travel ing numerous highways of the Red wood Empire, can not help but be influenced by the strange allure and magic of the season.

Pause for a while among the beautiful trees. Let your eyes and mind become filled with fresh, ■lean autumn splendor, and realize that the primitive beauty of many state park areas will forever be left undisturbed for the enjoyment of our own generation and the gen erations to come. For more than 460 miles in length and along every sector of a $80,000,000 system of modern, all-year highways, a continuous pageant of beautifully blending color await you in the Redwood Empire. Even the bright colored moun- (Continued on Page Eight) WHAT THE LEGION AUXILIARY IS DOING At the meeting Wednesday night it was decided to hold a ser ies of card parties with a grand prize offered at the end of the season.
