joseph cotton under capricorn in technicolor cartoon believing that most of your many readers appreciate reading about interesting trips i am in duced to report on my travels to sunny california on dec 5 i boarded the cxr at toronto travelling to sarnia and port huron then landed in chicago the following morning i left deerborn station on the long journey through many states illinois indiana michigan min- nisota kansas colorado texas new mexico arizona and cali fornia we passed through many beautiful cities and towns and finally halted at los angeles on dec 8 here we found the climate in this land of sunshine much like midjune in ontario crossing the rockies we attain ed an altitude of 11000 feet above sea level snow was in evidence and cool weather coming down from this height through the grand canyon of arizona we descended a mile much of this area is desert land slopes are spotted with shrubbery of ever green pines joshua trees cactus and other varieties making the locality rather picturesque we left by taxi for glendale a city of 125000 arriving at the time of the evening rush four lanes of traffic one way ramps seen crammed with cars fender to fender at speed of 50 miles within touching distance it was thrilling and i was relieved when we landed the saying goes that everybody wants to be american and everybody wants to see cali fornia and as a result that paradise is rather overcrowded they tell us there is a car there for every three of its population and nearly all of them are very recent models the cars of course we found passadina and fuller- ton interlocked seemingly no break between them at the latter place i found my cousin bert wideman former resident of gormley district around 1900 he is comfortably settled in the cali fornia hotel we spent some days with him then pushed on to alhambria another attractive city 20 miles away we called on friends we passed on through territory inhabited by mexicans spaniards and indians reaching newport beach we went directly to no 3710 channel place a lovely spot on the beach waters flowing in from the pacific there are many elaborate man sions to be seen likewise are many boats about launches coast guard cutters and ocean going vessels on dec 17 racing contests were held and we were privileged to cruise on the water to better witness the performances it was of course accompanied by my friend from the above address eventually we entered the break waters which are long shafts of rock extended out to protect the shore line from inroads of the ocean most of the construction is merely large boulders and stones which prevent damage to shipping we sailed on the pacific some distance when the motor stopped air speilberger my friend seemed quite cool as the launch mounted the waves 3 and 4 feet high i was asked to move to the centre of the launch while he opened the tool box and calmly took out a hand ful removing the gas line repairs were quickly made and we were again under our own power mentally i was anything but calm this friday jan 13 enjoya trip to the gaspe peninsula in the com fortable basement of the united church as mr carl james of unionville shows slides

beach north of musselmans lake wasnt the least disturbed by the size of her family over the holiday season it reached its peak when 27 sat down to dinner and still that wasnt all the members of the beech family it did include mrs beachs young er son howard who was able to be present from his far away outpost in northern alberta where he is serving in the canadian army had the entire 13 members of mrs beachs family been present with their children they would have been 32 because there are 19 grandchildren in any case mrs beach admitted that she wasnt permitted to be lonely because only 27 were on hand and two or three of those were merely friends and not immediate mem bers of the family it will be remembered that howard beach was noted in despatches last summer for flying in food stuffs to a stricken party in the arctic then in perilous condition he couldnt come home at the time his father died but promised to be here this christmas the promise was kept and his presence must have helped to dispel some of the grief over the loss of her husband howard had to hurry away and is now- back in edmonton or farther north by this time he expects to try life under canvas before the

editors mae a truly complimentary letter leaside dec 29th 1949 dear sir you will find enclosed 200 for which you will please send me the tribune for another year i read its columns with interest for it is just receiving a good long newsy letter from home as i was born just a few miles from stouff ville nearly eightyfive years ago and many of the names mentioned in your paper have been familiar to me in the past seventy years i consider the stouffville tribune one of the best all round advertising mediums in the coun try and 1 would conclude by my observation that there is no need of going out of your own home town to make any purchase for the home and family or for the farm or to seek the help and advice of business and professional men upon any line in which there might be a need glad to note that the editor supports any project that will better the condition of the town or countryside and does not quarrel with the person who may not accept his ideas but guards every avenue that might cause the tribune to become a political battlefield i would like to congratulate the editor upon the large amount of space he gives to the activities of the church and sunday school and would make special mention of the fine scriptural exposition of the sunday school lesson which is an honor to any paper and should be read by everyone within a reasonable distance who call themselves a teacher i consider the tribuen to be a real asset to any home and would not want to be without it wishing you every success as editor of the tribune and in your many duties as reeve of the town yours truly
