POST - WAR AMERICA
Autumn
Here With
Tinged Trees
—
Glorious and colorful “Indian
Summer," with its crystal clear
starlit nights and beautiful sunny
autumn days has arrived in Amer
ica's most unique and beautiful va
cation spot —- the Redwood Em
pire counties of northern Califor
nia and southern Oregon.
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.
Bright tints of yellow, red and
mange interwoven with the deep
evergreen of the giant redwoods,
forms a variegated changing pat
tern from San Francisco, across
the "International Orange" hued
Golden Gate Bridge, and through-
< ut each county to Grants Pass,
Oregon.
The vivid crimson of the dog
wood vies for attention with the
deeper maroon of the azalea, while
the oaks spread their golden foli
age and maples splash hillsides and
mountain slipes with brightest yel
low, cardinal and gold. Wild grape,
ash and alder trees add their in
dividualistic tints to the general
scene of beauty as does innumer
able fern, bush and shrub.
Yes indeed! This is a time of
year to saunter through the woods
and spend some time among the
giant redwoods, pine and fir —
trees that have withstood the rav
ages of time and the elements for
countless centuries, many of them
were mature when Christ was
born.
Serene and majestic they stand
forming a magnificent outdoor
temple beneath which the visitor
stands in awe and humility, while
underfoot the thick carpet of
leaves and moss is strewn with
varied colorings, beautifully pat
terned by rays of the mellow "In
dian Summer" sun.
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-
