Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH any point of the compass. You learn at once never to run for a bus. There is another one along in a few seconds. Natives of San Francisco are grumbling about certain basic changes taking place in their beloved city. They saved two of the cable car lines, but the view of the ferry build ing has been "ruined" with an overhead freeway. -The last ferry has been replaced by buses that now operate to the East Bay over the bridge and the electric service is no more. Most' of the people in the heart of town are visitors stopping at the numerous ho tels in the downtown district. Nearly all the "slaves" of business commute either across the bay or down the peninsula. The lapidary shop has a number of new faces with "nose to the grindstone" and the accompanying enthusiasm for collecting and working over the variety of gem stones found nearby. 1 The new rock hounds were escorted on a trip to the Bar Lew ranch near Eagle Point by Mrs. Marie Rehling, of the Red Cross gray ladies corps at Camp White recently at the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Cunningham, owners of this "rock farm." With their material picked up on this trip and the distri bution by Stan Sears, of spe cial services, of thundereggs, agates, obsidian and petrified wood donated by Mrs. Jann son, of Grants Pass, to mem bers of the Rock club, a busy season of sawing, grinding and polishing is in store. Since a considerable num ber of veterans living at this domiciliary have migrated from points in California, not ably San Francisco and Los Angeles, it may be of interest to them to receive a report based upon recent "findings of fact." The most notable fact in both cities is the availability of transportation by ous to NATION-WIDE HriNL..WHEN ALL AMERICA SHOPS AND SAVES! ' .-... . A... ;.. . ' .

And due to the amount of travel necessary to get any, place, this item eats a hole in the budget. You need to figure always in pennies owing to the pay as you go tax. The big change of front is noted in Los Angeles where heavy industry has moved in to crowd out Hollywood as the mecca and "spectacle" as the theme of the largest con tinuous mass of people and cars on earth. There is one virtue in size in the fact that the city runs itself. This eliminates the fu ror over who does run the town. For there is no one quite big enough to do that job in Los Angeles. The coun ty has a perpetual sheriff, and they let it go at that. The people have learned to regulate their lives in order to live and the result is that accidents decrease and a spirit of neighborliness pervades; Their one enemy is smog which seems to be creating a special type of human being, moving about as if he or she were wearing chain mail. . The one outstanding mark which identifies Los Angeles proper is the topsy turvy ef fect of residences, stores, fac tories and churches sprinkled all over -the place .with no sharp line of division.' But this is characteristic from an architectural point of view of all of California. There are only two VA do- miciliaries on the west coast. One is at Camp White and the other is in Los Angeles as part of the hospital center there, They call it Sawtelle because that is the name of the town where the soldiers' home was located a long time ago. The VA Center there is one of the largest in the country. Today, if you have not been out to West Los Angeles along Wilshire blvd., you would not know how to get there. Bus drivers never heard of the place. For the information of the men here who know where Sawtelle is, they may like to learn that two fine new build ings have been built and are now in operation. There is the wing of Wadsworth hospital where the manager's office is now located, and a large out patient clinic is. conducted. Then there is the new build ing for the post office and the canteen service which is like a shopping center. The old post office barn is gone. Another, significant change, is the installation of cafeteria service, for domiciliary mem bers, similar to Camp White. Nellis Team Holds Weapons Test Lead Nellis .AFB, Nev.-ffiPP-The Air Training Command's team from Nellis Air Force Base was still out in front to day in the XI. S.
