We Know More Afj)ut The
Bee Now, But Not Everything
That first, hump-backed in
dividual had to learn the hard
way. It took courage to rob
the second bee-tree; the first
one was easy, for he didn't
know what could h5fyen.
What did happen was that his
thick hide was punctured by
He was probably jarreKI
clear down to his callusedj
"government" of an advanced
order. However, he still has a
long way to go; there are
many questions yet to be an
swered. There never was such a
thing as a "tame bee," one
that recognized a master, or
an owner, or even one that
constantly worked with them.
The busy little bee is just as
wild today as were its an-
feet. He had no referencetelose Obseivation
books to guiae nim; no previ
ous experience to show him
the errors he could make. Per
haps it took the cave man a
long time to lcSii how to get
the pleasure without the pain.
Robbery Obsession
Bees were Qiaking honey
from the nectar of flowers,
dew and plant Juices, many
eons before man found out
what kept the little insects so
busy. Then robbing bee trees
became an obsession. Early
many may have watched cer
tain animals who, having ar
rived on the earthly scene a
little earlier, may have al
ready discovered the bee
sweet and helped themselves
to the treasure.
Since that time long ago,
man has delved repeatedly in
to the mystery of the bee hive.
He has discovered there a
complex organization, and a
,By devious means and clolfS
ovjervation, man has pecked
inside the beehive. He has
watched the complicated pro
cess of honey storing, the
manufacture of the beeswax
that forms receptacles to hold
the honey and. of course, has
profited by ihe experience.
Too, he has attempted to ex
plain the government of the
hive. He has analyzed the
resultant product, knows that
honey is a food, predigested
by the bees. He knows it is
derived from the nectar of
flowers and the juice of
plants.
The cave man didn't try to
understand, any more than
does the bear or the raccoon
that are willing to get stung
to secure honey. And we to
day are still terribly short of
a satisfactory explanation of
exactly what It's all about.

One of the top 10 stories
in the nation in 1960, accord
ing to a vote of newspaper
editors, was the life and death
of Caryl Chessman.
Chessman s execution in
San Quentin's apple green gas
chamber in May ended a 12
year fight for life. His waning
moments and his interna
tional fame as the author of
four books created a cre
scendo of worldwide furore
over administration of
death penalty.
And that was California's
top story of the year.
It started with at least three
appeals to local and federal
courts ... all of which wero
turned down.
Broader Headlines
11 grew . . . along with big
ger and broader headlines all
over the world . . . when Gov.
Edmund G. Brown granted
him a 60-day reprieve so the
legislature could decide
whether to abolish the death
penally. And the legislature
decided to keep it.
But it did not end when
Chessman gasped his last
breath and mouthed the
words . . . "it's all right."
Months later, Governor
Brown had his personal guard
increased to five men during
a tour of Brazil because of
holdover reaction to Chess
man's execution.
It was a big news year in
California otherwise, too
In January . . . Tile first
trial of Dr. Bernard Finch
and his mistress Carole Trc-
goff got underway in the
death of Finch's wife. An
epidemic of Asian Flu hit
California from border to bor
der, striking a half million
persons in Los Angeles and
killing 127.
Winter Olympics
In February ... It was the
month of the 1960 winter
Olympics. The legislature ap
propriated the last million
dollars to support the Olym
pics . . . and the state put on
one of the most successful
Olympic games in history.
In March . . . Santa Fe Rail
road's San Francisco ChicE
slammed into a fuel truck
near Bakersfield. Fourteen
persons died and 60 were in
jured . . . making it the worst
California train crash since
1956. Lucy Ball filed suit for
divorce from her husband of
20 years . . . Dcsi Arnaz. A
strike of Hollywood u actors
idled 26,000 in seven major
studios , . . slopping work on
eight movies. The Finch-Tre-goff
trial ended in a hung
jury . . . with a new trial set
for May.
In April . . . The legislature
adopted a S2 48 billion state stroyers collided off Newport
oungei ... a law requiring
anti-smog devices on cars . . .
and a master plan for educa
tion. British vegetarian Dr.
Barbara Moore and two Bri
tish sergeants start to walk
across the continent.
Student Demonstrations
In May . . , Actress Bctte
Davis and actor Gary Merrill
announced they would be di
vorced. The house un-American
activities committee met
in San Francisco accompanied
thtwbv student demonstrations.
Congress gave final approval
to the 290 million dollar San
Luis project. And the second
Finch-Tregoff trial got under
way.
In June . . . ACter the pri
mary election . . . Negro
singer Earlha Kitt married
Caucasion William McDonald
in Los Angeles. One of the
nation's biggest air-space in
dustry disputes spread to four
Lockheed plants. And actress
Larainc Day divorced base
ball figure Leo Durocher.
In July . . . The month of
the Democratic national con
vention . . . two Navy de-
Beach, killing 11 men. And
Brown declared Los Angeles
county a disaster area after
forest fires swept 100,000
acres.
Killed In Crash
In August . . . Pole vauller
Bob Gutowski . . . official
holder of the world outdoor
record . . . was killed in a col
lision at Camp Pendleton. A
Navy frogman plucked a cap
sule from the Pacific in the
historic first recovery of an
object from space. And forest
fires burned over 85,000 acres
mainly in the Forest Hill and
Donner Ridge areas.
In September . . . The $2.3
million Forest Hill timber
tiro was blamed to a cigarette
butt tossed away by a 13-year-old
boy. Brown an
nounced the retirement of
water director Harvey O.
Banks Jan. 2 and his succes
sor as William E. Warne.
And 11 inmates . . . most of
them dangerous , . . escaped
from Atascadero Stale hos
pital. Ike Visits California
In October . . . The South
ern Pacific and the Santa Fe
railroads applied separately
lo buy the Western Pacific.
