In fact, California grows 98 per cent of all the lemons grown in the United States and prooamy processes 100 per cent of those that are processed. Now the big lemon Juice squeeze takes place in modern canning dants which process about 40 per cent of the entire lemon crop. Pure lemon juice has been canned for about 10 years. Three years ago some en terprising outfits made and mar ktpH fresh-frozen concentrates for lemonade.

The children's eyes will sparkle when they behold lollipops and gumdrops growing from the tree on Fido's back. To make the tree, you'll need a china flower holder in the shape of Fido, or some other familiar animal, a sturdy branch from a tree, lollipops on paper sticks and gumdrops. Anchor the tree branch in the flower holder firmly with the help of a blob of the children's modeling clay.

McKay, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, returned Wednesday from an eight-week visit with the 40,000 Mormons of Western Eu rope. He said conditions there "are very favorable from the standpoint of church growth." McKay, accompanied by his wife, son and daughter-in-law, visited 10 Mormon missions in England, The Netherlands, Den mark, Norway. Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland and France, and dedicated five churches in England and Ger many in his first official visit since assuming the church presi dency two years ago. To Make Report He said he would make his of ficial report to the first presi dency and the council of the twelve in Salt Lake City on Aug ust 7. McKay said he was most im pressed "by the universal senti ments for peace" he found among the European peoples. "The closer we got to the Iron Curtain, the more pronounced was the feeling of depression because of the iron hand hanging over the people," he said. In West Berlin particularly, he said, the people are in constant "fear of being swallowed up" by the Russians. Universal Remark The universal remark in Ger many and Switzerland, he said, was: If only the Russian ques tion would settled!" McKay said he had motored through most of the countries he visited and had never seen "such bumper crops" as in Scandinavia and Germany. Except for Eng land, he said, "there were excel lent prospects of a good harvest everywhere." He noted that the mission at Basle, Switzerland, had been "very much depleted" 18 months ago because of the immigration of many church members to the United States. "Today there are more mem bers than there were 18 months ago, he said. Youngster's Drink Causes Auto Crash Dallas, Tex. (U.R) A 14- year-old driver admitted Wed nesday he had been drinkine when his automobile swerved into the wrong side of a county road and crashed into a sheriff's patrol car. "I was drinking a bottle of soda pop and wasn't watching where I was going," the boy said in a written confession.

(A cost of about $1,000,000 per mile is considered high for a superhighway in the USA). Two giant tunnels, one more than a mile long, and the three largest pre - stressed concrete bridges in the world, mark the route of the new four-lane high way as it comes down lOVfe miles from the capital of Venezuela to the Caribbean shore. Caracas itself lies in a 3,000- foot high valley hidden from the sea by the massive Andean hills which tower up to 6,000 feet above the Caribbean. Two thousand workers with more than 200 bulldozers, trac tors, trucks and roadscrapers are trying to complete the job in time for the tenth inter-American foreign ministers confer ence scheduled for Caracas sometime in the last quarter of 1953. U. S. Firm Engaged The world's three largest pre- stresse.d concrete bridges costing approximately $5,000,000 are be ing constructed on the "auto pista" by Enterprises Campeon Bernard of France. The two tunnels on the "auto- pista" are being built at a cost of approximately $20,000,000 by the only other foreign company working on the project, Mor-risson-Knudsen Company, Inc. of Boise, Idaho. Each tunnel is actually a set of twin tunnels, separated by a natural moun tain wall 13 yards thick, with a dual lane one-way traffic on either side. The tunnels were de signed by Ralph Smillie, of Smillie and Griffin, a New York consulting engineering firm, in accordance with the most rigid safety specifications and ad vanced methods of tunnel con struction. They will have a modern ven tilation system that automatic ally adjusts the intake of fresh air in proportion to the concen tration of carbon monoxide left by the varying flow of traffic. The tunnels will also have a modern illuminating system and AND JELLIES . Cost less! ' Berries automatic traffic control apDa- ratus. To Cost $60,000,000 The eventual total cost of Venezuela's great "autopista," as the superhighway is called, is estimated at $60,000,000. Construction of the "autopis ta" began in January, 1950 after six years of surveys and studies by the Venezuelan ministry of public works. The project is one of the most spectacular exam ples of the government's policy of "sowing" its oil wealth back into the land. The "autopista" will serve as a new, lifeline between the Vene zuelan capital of 500,000 and its busy airport at Maiquetia, and its thriving seaport of La Gu aira. The present highway is a 19 mile dizzily twisting route with 365 curves precariously niched in the steep Andean hills. Traf fic is heavy. Approximately 6, 000 cars and trucks carry pas sengers and freight to and from the ports each day. The aver age driving time is about an hour. The "autopista," with only 36 curves will cut driving time to fifteen minutes. The curves will have a minimum radius of 328 yards compared to 16 on the present road. The maximum grade on the "autopista" will be only six per cent and as low as 3.5 per cent in the tunnels com pared to 12 per cent on the ex isting route.
