Clean Up Week Slated
At Stearns Cemetery
Talent - The civic committee
of the Talent Garden club and
the Talent Cemetery association
at a recent joint meeting desig
nated May 20-27 as clean-up
week for Stearns cemetery.
The Garden club, which, has
sponsored the event for several
years, has hired a man for gen
eral work on the project. His ser
vices will also be hired by the
cemetery group. Residents of the
valley will be urged to clean in
dividual graves of relatives and
friends during the week, com
mittee members said.
Others may contribute funds
for the service to Miss Eleanore
Powers at Talent. Contributions
will also be accepted for the gen
eral upkeep of the cemetery, the
committee pointed out.
The Stearns cemetery was
named after David Stearns, who
came to the valley in October,
1853. The family settled on Wag
ner creek and during the small
pox epidemic a few years later
two of the Stearns children died.
They were buried on the site
that was later given by the fam
ily to the community as a cemetery.

Is That
Del Monte Lodge, Pebble
Beach, Calif. Today I saw a
Monarch butterfly, clothed in
lustrous red-orange with black
borders and white spots, lay her
eggs on a milkweed.
What's so remarkable about
this?
Like most things in nature,
it's charged with never-ending
wonder. '
The female with unerring in
stinct sought out an immature
milkweed plant and on it and
it alone laid her eggs. From
this plant, she knows her coming
young will get the proper diet.
Then in turn, the maturing
young it will take about three
weeks to complete the cycle
will head north and lay her eggs
on milkweed, too. Thus, with
succeeding generations, the fragile-seeming
insects will leap-frog
north and farther north until
they have reached the limit of
their range southern Canada and
Alaska.
This would seem miracle
enough. But in late August the
final brood perhaps the great
grandchildren of the female I
saw today will hatch, imbued
with an uncontrollable tug to
head south.
And then this very symbol of
fragility, this tiny flier no
heavier really than a dollar bill
will prove ' its extraordinary
endurance and toughness. De
spite buffetings of storms, it will
fly south perhaps .2,000 miles.
Competent observers such as
Merton E. Hinshaw, curator of
the Pacific Grove Museum of
Natural History, have seen them
fly a dozen feet off the ground
into prevailing winds of 20 miles
an hour with gusts up to 40, and
not only hold to their course
but make headway!
Then for us in the west, an
even greater - seeming miracle
happens. By the , hundreds of
thousands these light-as-paper in
sects converge upon tiny clusters
of evergreens pines, cypresses,
live oaks, and eucalyptuses.
These clusters occur along the
coast, from Bolinas, just north
of San Francisco, to Santa Cruz
and on down to Santa Barbara
but mostly here in the Mont
erey peninsula at Pacific Grove.
Cross Open Sea
Those coming to Pacific Grove
conclude their wonderful flight
dramatically: like a wind-blown
cloud they cross 20 miles of
open sea, from Santa Cruz on
the northern shore of this bay,,
to Pacific Grove on the southern,
arid then they descend upon
these tiny clumps of trees.
Kiddies' Cover-Up
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
Doesn't it seem incredible? And
butterfly vision is limited to only
a few feet.
1 Just what lures the Monarchs
to these clumps of trees along
the Pacific Coast? Quite likely
a satisfactory combination of
many things some of which we
still do not know. Perhaps be
cause the trees are evergreens
their foliage provides winter pro
tections. . Perhaps because this
region knows no real winter;
perhaps because each tree here is
drenched with cool sea-mist, pos
sibly a life-saving factor, fol
lowed by sunshine during which
the half-chilled creatures fan
their wings and extend them to
the warm sun's rays. Perhaps be
cause flowers with nectar are
abundant in winter. And most
important this I know be
cause each early spring milk
weeds are nearby in abundance.
Upon these milkweeds the fe
male can lay her first batch of
eggs and be assured of her spe
cies' survival.
Appropriately, the coming of
the. Monarchs in October, each
fall, is hailed with joy in Pacific
Grove: school lets out and a
thousand grade - school students
parade in colorful costumes; and
so highly do the City Fathers
regard these creatures that they
maintain an ordnance surely
the only one of its kind in the
world imposing a $500 fine or
6 months' imprisonment for the
molestation of these wintering
visitors. " .
