Newspaper Page TextIn the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS On the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal the other day there was a cartoon that probably caught the eye of a considerable number of the readers of that distin guished financial journal. It depicted a gentleman sitting at a bar. He was staring at the olive at the bottom of his empty Martini glass and mut tering: "Hinmmmm. I wonder what they did with these d things before Martinis were invented." I SUPPOSE that crack got a laugh or two in Corning. But I have an idea the laugh had a hollow ring. Olives are no laughing matter in this pleasant and attractive little city of the Sacramento val ley, which for more years than the older generation real ly cares to admit has been known as the Olive City. Olives in Corning are not raw material for wisecracks. They are big business. The grayish-green olive groves stretch for miles in every direction. There is an olive processing plant at the north ern entrance of the town. Every few rods along the highway there is a roadside WHY WAIT? DONT BE LATE THEN SUFFER A CHILLY FATE! CALL SP 2-8086 TIMBER PRODUCTS COMPANY Serving the Valley "Fuel From Timber Since 1918" stand where olives are sold in practically all the forms that commercial olives take. A little later in the year, these groves will be full of pickers harvesting the crop. The wages of these pickers represent a fair-sized payroll, and the economy of the area is quite considerably stimu lated by the money that flows back from - the sale of the crop. No sirree! Olives are noth ing to poke fun at here in this part of California. rpHERE was a day when at these fruit stands Orland oranges were sold in rather large volume. For the most part, they were contained in mesh bags and northbound tourists packed them in fair ly heavily on the theory that this was the last chance to load up on fruit for the win ter. As the years passed, the volume of oranges sold at these stands declined and the volume of olives rose. The stocks at the stands are now made up almost entirely of olives. They come in bottles and they come in cans. They come green and pickled and they come brown and cooked. The choice is wide. Few peo ple get through Corning with out stashing some olives away in the car. A CONSIDERABLE quan tity of the Corning olives, of course, is pressed into oil. But, as every cook knows, California olive oil is used chiefly for run of the mill cooking. It isn't tolerated by the epicures and the gour mets. Among these particular people, only IMPORTED olive oil is permissible. There is a rather unusual reason for that. The reason is this: California soil is too RICH to produce top quality oil. To be tolerated by epi curean palates, olive oil must come from olives grown in the hot, barren, rocky soils of the lands surrounding the R Z0N , soylT I BRITISH BfRUNl IQUtJM ' S ' U.S. ZOHE ' - p NEWHEADACHE? This newsmap shows how the city of Berlin is divided into sectors held by Soviet Russia and the Western allies. The West fears that the city, com pletely surrounded by Communist East Germany, may again be blockaded by the Communists, because of a statement by Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev that he plans to annul the four-power Potsdam agreement under which the VVestern powers occupy West Berlin. The city is 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain. ancient world. It is big stuff still around Corning. Being smart, they discov ered early that it would burn. So they heated it in pots, carried the pots up into the rigging of their war galleys, set it aflame and poured the flaming stuff down onto the decks of the galleys of their enemies. This was known as GREEK FIRE, and was quite a dreaded weapon in the early naval fighting. TN THE Good Book, one reads of the Foolish Vir gins, who let their lamps go empty and when the Big Mo ment came they were caught short. The oil that wasn't in the lamps of the Foolish Vir gins but WAS in the lamps of the Wise Virgins was olive oil. In the same Good Book, one reads of those who were anointed with oil kings and princes, among others. The oil with which they were an ointed was OLIVE oil. Presumably they had fried food in those days. If so, the food was fried in olive oil. The olive was big stuff in the Mediterranean. Here the olive comes to its true perfection. To be at its best, the olive must grow up the hard way. It must grow not on shapely and handsome trees such as one sees in California but on gnarled, twisted old snags that cling perilously to the rocky slopes. The olive thrives on adversity. OUR world, there was a rough stone civilization. It was followed by a polished stone civilization. There was a bronze civilization. And so on. There was also an OIL civilization. NOT petroleum oil. That wouldn't come until long cen turies later. It is true that in the ancient Middle East, where man is presumed to have got his real start, pe-. troleum came to the surface in certain places. Man was in trigued by this black, gummy substance, but only the Greeks found a use for it.
