In 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

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

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.
