In TKe Day's News By FRANK JENKINS The Tucson of today is as mod ern as atomic power. As a mat ter of fact, atomic energy has quite a little to do with Tujson"s growth, which is well over on the burgeoning side. Only a few years ago, it was a town of 25,000. Now it claims 50,000 and looks the part. There is no radium boom at Tucson, but two big airplane outfits Douglas and Howard Hughes have established plants here for the building of airplanes ar.d if it weren't for the threat of war that is posed by the atom bomb these new plants probably wouldn't have been built So I suppose it can be said with a reasonable measure of truth that atomic energy is re sponsible for this new industrial growth that is changing Tucson from a sleepy cattle center, with a later sideline of winter tour ists, into a bustling modern city that is quite probably headed for metropolitan rank. inal fig trees still stands and bears figs copiously every year. There is a newer fig and a pome granate. There are gay umbrel las for shelter against the ardent Southern Arizona sun in the areas not shaded by the trees. Talent High School Play Set This Week TUCSON had - nings back its real oegin in the 1360s, when it was a way station on the Old Spanish Trail, known at this end of it as the Butterfield Trail. One of its early citizens was a colorful character named Charlie Brown. He ran the town's principal saloon, which was called Congress Hall (Con gress is still the principal busi ness street of Tucson.) He kept his Congress Hall dolled up in the latest manner, including fresh paint whenever the old paint got dim. One eve ning a gambler named Jack Moore, who dressed always in a black coat with tails, was lean ing against a post in the saloon, looking the situation over. He took out his jackknife and be gan to whittle contemplatively on soft pine. It irked Brown no end, for he was proud of his place. So he pulled out HIS jackknife and cut off one of the tail'? of the gambler's coat, remarking cas ually as he did so: it you can whittle on my property, I reckon I can whit tie on yours." PpHIS Charlie Brown prospered -- as saloon keepers were apt to do in those days. (Y ou will recall, perhaps, that two of the members of the Big Four that developed the Comstock Lode to its highest peak were San Fran cisco saloon keepers who came over to Virginia City and put big money in a big way into the rehabilitation of the Lode ) He built himself a lovely house in what is now the center of Tucson's bustling business district. The walls were of adobe, two feet thick. The roof beams were cut by Mexicans up in the Santa Rita mountains, dodging Apaches as they worked. The legs were snaked down out of the Santa Ritas by ox teams. The woodwork was redwood that came from California up the Colorado river to Yuma and thence by mule team to Tucson. The mantle of the fireplace came from England arounfi the Horn and thence by mule team to the Old Pueblo of Tucson. The patio was planted with fig, orange, pomegranate and palm trees. It was a lovely spot and the story is that old Charley loved it exceedingly. riIMES changed in Tucson, as -- elsewhere. Charlie Brown went the way of all flesh. His lovely old house still stands in downtown Tucson, but instead of housing his descend ants it houses a pleasant and highly popular eating place known as the Old Adobe Patio restaurant, where food good enough to get the nod from Dun can Hines himself is served. Except on occasional chilly days, service is in the patio of rPHE lower floor of the old - house is occupied by small shops where handicrafting of va rious sorts is done." Trellises be fore these shops are grown with wisteria and jasmine, and the bases of the walls are edged with flowers. Here, in the cool of the evening, come tourisis who are directed by their travel guides, and here come also white-haired people who are ob viously old-timers in Tucson nostalgically recalling the pleas ant way of life that existed nere before the tourists came like a stampeding herd of longhorns. If old Charlie Brown can look down from wherever he is, I think he will be quite content with what he sees and will call it good.
