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ferry has been replaced by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

People spend money liberal
ly in San Francisco, especial
ly for food and drink. 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.
