MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1939. PAGE THREE Salem, Dec. 18. UP) The state highway commission will meet here Wednesday to discuss its 1940 program. "Welcome, Mister Neiv Year have a Nosegay" ELSEWHERE in the United States the New Year gets rowdy reception to the ac companiment of tootling horns and popping corks. In Pasa dena they do it differently. The whole town steps up to the , bashful stranger and hands him a posy. But what a posy! In no other city and no other country is such an assembly of midwinter floral beauty to be found as fill the streets of Pasa dena on New Year's Day masses of blossoms such as the ancients might have gathered to lay at the feet of some re turning conqueror. Often more blossoms go on a single float than there were people in Pasa deija back in 1889 when the Valley Hunt Club long may it wave! first proposed a Tournament of Roses. Pasadena has her conquerors, too the football champions who cap the greatest of New Year's Day celebrations with their intersectional tournament in the Rose Bowl. Of every thing, it seems, Pasadena car ries over the best of the Old Year and lays it at the feet of the New. Yearly more and more West em i people emphasize the ease of travel over their all-year highways by joining Pasadena in this unique celebration. That is something which, if possible, yoii should commence planning now.
