If you've been troubled lately,
as many of us have, by the fear
that the American character is being diluted and lost, take a trip
into mid-America where this American character originated. You'll
find it still there, strong and independent and stubborn as ever.
Not so much in the State capitols,
or the big industrial cities, but in
the small towns and the half-milelong villages off the main highways
and most of them not on the maps.

History Of Morena
Oak Shores
By Fay Farris
Lake Morena Oak Shores is located seven miles off
Highway 80, and about 12 miles East of Pine Valley. The
. :!even mile turnoff is three miles East of Laguna Junction.
The land was purchased by the late Arthur Kunze in 1926, ·
and it was his dream to make it a Fishernian's paradise.
A Mutual Water Co. was organized
in 1929. Mr. Kunze built the first
dwelling, which he later used as a
real estate office. Electricity was
brought in through the Mt. Empire
Electric Co. and the village began
th grow.
Acreage was set aside for a hotel
or lodge at the west end of the
village, and it was soon purchased'
and the hotel was built. (The hotel
burned down in the late forties).
In 1942 the Army moved in with
a troop of 700 men, and after getting the consent of the stockhold·
ers of the tract, Well No. 1 was
turned over to them, and they in
turn started to drill Well No. 2
but did not finish, as the Army
was moved to Camp-o where they
built Camp Lockett.
Well No. 2 was completed by the
Water Co., and in 1961 Well No. 3
was drilled. As soon as the Army
moved out, the late W. H. Harris
purchased the hotel (the Army used
it for two years). Mr. Harris was
a realtor, and soon he was selling
lots, and the town really began to
grow.
The first section was known as
Unit No. 1, and after these lots
were sold, -Unit No. 2 was approved in 1946, and lots in this
area were sold by F. B. Murray
as well as W. H. Harris. In 1948
Unit No. 3 was approved, and the
first homes there were built in
1959.
There have been 12 new homes
built in Lake Morena Oak Shores
in the past three years--mostly in
Unit No. 2 and Unit No. 3. It
snows in the area once or twice a
year, but only about six inches,
which usually melts before the d!!Y
is over One year it snowed 16
inches, but that .was unusual.
The climate is quite warm in
the summer, but there is usually a
breeze, which makes the weather
ideal most of the time. The water
is delicious.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common disorder.
Your Heart Association estimates
that, in the United States, at least
five million people suffer from this
condition.
First Community
Falloat Shelter
The first community fallout
shelter to be licensed in San Diego
County is an old gold mine near
Julian, William B. Marty, administrator of · the U"nified San Diego
County Civil Defense and Disaster
Organization said today.
George W. Vrable, 606 Stanley
St., Oceanside, California has
signed a license to permit the use
of the Warlock Mine, two and a
half miles east of Julian on the old
Banner Grade, to be used as a
public fallout shelter,
Tpe mine has a capacity for 222
persons according to the report of
the federal survey conducted under the direction of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks, U.S. Navy.
Vrable said the mine is approximately 1,600 feet long and has
five drifts off the main tunnel
where miners had followed the ore
vein. The tunnel is approximately
five feet wide near the entrance
but' is wider in many parts, he
sai9. ,
The mine offers a protection
factor of more than 1,000 to 1•
based on survey reports, w h i c h
means that fallout radiation in·
tensity would be reduced from
1,000 units outside to less than one
unit 'On the inside of the mine. It
would thus offer maximum protection from radiation, Marty said.
Ventilation is provided by a
large generator. Although it is not
li g h t e d , the mine could be
equipped with lights, powered also
by the generator.
Arrangements will be made t'O
stock the shelter with federally
provided food, water containers,
medical equipment, radiological
monitoring devices and sanitation
supplie's as soon as they are received from federal sources.
The county is proceeding to seek
licenses from other ·owners of
buildings, and tunnels identified
by the surveyors as potential shelters. "We expect to finish this
phase of the program in two
weeks," Marty said.

ENCAMPMENT HIGHLIGHT-The famed twenty mule team, which between 1882 and 1889 pulled
borax across the desert from Death Valley to the nearest railhead 165 miles away at Mojave, is beintf
assembled for the first time in 12 yea.r s this year to take part in the 13th Annual Death Valley Enc:a.mpment, set for Nov. 8 through 11.

ENCAMPMENT NOVEMBER 8TH
Santa Ana!
Dedication of two historical markers, both honoring
So u t bern · Californians knew
about the Santa Ana winds long
before there were any weather
statistics about them or before
they had a name as such. These
high, wild winds may come any
time from early fall through Feb·
ruary and March. We usually get
our first one in october sometime and it is recognizable at once
by its force and velocity. It comes
from the East and blows straight
and hard not curving and puffing
as most 0 t h e r · winds do. The
wind so named, does much good,
especially in the fall s i n c e it
prunes the dead limbs from native
trees and shrubs and helps 'the
Eucalyptus shed her summer bark.
Several accounts are recorded
as to the origin of the wind's
name. Some say it is traced to the
Mexican general Santa Anna and
his dust raising cavalry; inasmuch
as this general or his men were
never near South California, this
account has no authenticity. The
wind is sometimes referred to as
the Santana, a corrupti'On of the
original. The use of this word is
sometimes twisted into a story
that the Indians referred to the
natural phenomenon, as "Wind of
evil spirits" which was translated
by hysterical whites as "wind of
Satan." The true origin of the
name appears t'O be dependent
upon the fact that in December
1901, a terrible wind storm struck
soouthern California and was writ·
ten up w;th considerable exagera·
tion by a newspaper correspondent
from the town of Santa Ana. This
story, telegraphed a r o u n d the
country, resulted in the town's
name becoming identified with the
wind. That city's C h a m be r of
Commerce tried to persuade South·
ern California newspapers not to
use to city's name when r eferring
to the much feared wind, but were
unable to stop the usage. Thus,
the town of Santa Ana . is most
famous for its unwilling connection with a big wind.
The Santa Ana also does harm
as well as good, of course, unroofing houses and sometimes damaging light craft in the bays along
our Southern coast line. Orchardists used to dread its visit to their
trees. Fliers of light airplanes fear
it, and it is said to , be -most disasterous in event of forest fire
during its gale. S t i 11, the old
Santa Ana does some good as well.
As the old saw goes "It's an ill
wind tbat blows nobody good."
t~e Borax industry, exhibits, evening campfires and profirams and a variety of special events have been scheduled
for the 13th Annual Death Valley Encampment Nov. 8
through 11 in Death Valley National Monument.
One of the highlights of this
year's e~campment will be the appearance of the famed 20-mule
team. The tea m is being assembled
for the first time in 12 years as
part of the four-day encampment.
During the four-day observance,
the 20-mule team will move
throughout the valley pulling the
borax wagons used from 1882 to
1889 to haul borax from the valley
to the nearest railhead 165 miles
away at Mojave. During their use
there was no record of a wagon
breakdown.
Honoring the 20-mule team and
its original route will be a group
of Equestrian Trails, Inc., members, who plan to spend a week
riding their horses over the original 20-mule team route from
Boron to the Harmony Borax
Works.
The first of the two marker dedi·
cation ceremonies will be held at
11 a.m. Nov. 8 at Searles Lake
near Trona. The ceremony is being sponsored by the American
Potash and Chemical Corporation,
the Stauffer Chemical Corporation,
and the D,e ath Valley '49ers, Inc.,
and will mark the 100th anniver-
sary of the discovery of borax at
the dry lake by John Searles.
The second marker dedication
will be held at 10 a.m. Nov. 10,
at the site of the Harmony Borax
Works, which served as the start·
ing point for the 20-mule team
trip to Mojave. Speaking at the
ceremony will be Ruga Reimer,
president of the United States
Borax and Chemical Corporation.
Along with the dedication of t he
Searles Lake Historical Marker the
first day the only other scheduled
events on Nov. 8 will be in the
evenings. These will incl ude a
campfire across from the Stove
Pipe Wells Hotel, dancing at the
hotel and a naturalist talk at the
Death Valley Museum and Visitors'
Center Auditorium.
Activit'ies for the second day,
Nov. 9, will begin at 8 a.m. with
the annual Authors' Breakfast at
the Furnace Creek Golf Course,
and will be followed by a tour
during the day and a campfire,
naturalist talk and a dance in the
evening. Also scheduled for Nov.
9 will be the arrival in the valley

Our Schools
Du~ to events which hav-e transpired within the last
few days, we are of the opinion that we should again repeat the statement which we hav~ previously made in r~­
gard to the problems that confront the Alpine Public
Schools.
As we have pr~viously stated, ther~ appears to be
two major problems. First, the lack of funds to properly
operate the educational program in the schools brought
about· through the d-efeat of a measure t o permit a tax in·
crease over the amount allowed by State law. The second
problem is the lack of harmony and cooperation betw~n
the individual members of the School Board which has resulted in a majority of three members of the Board over
the opposition of the minority two members of the Board
taking actions which have aroused a large number of the
vot-ers in the District ·to the point where recall petitions
are now being circulawd asking for the recall of the three
majority members of the Board.
In dealing with the first problem, the-re was organized a committee of citizens who call themselves the "Progress Committee" whose primary and exclusive program
is to make a comprehensive and int-elligent study with the
school administrative staff of the budgetary ne-eds for conducting a proper educational program in our schools, and
then to support an election to obtain authorization to hav~
the amount of tax increaoo that will support such a program. The members of the committee also feel that th~
present Superintendent should be retained for at least one
year to operate th~ schools under the educational program
d~termined -proper, or under a program with limited funds
if the tax measure is defeated.
This committee, however, has established the policy
that they will proceed in their endeavor to work ,for the
tax increase required regardless of whether the present
Su~·rintendent is retained or not.
In dealing with the second problem, there has been
organized a committee of citizens who call th-emselves the
"Alpine Recall Committee" whose primary and exclusive
program is for the recall of th-e thr.ee majroity members
of the Board based on reasons which have been set forth
in the recall petitions now being circulat-ed.
This committee is not officially related to the Progress Committee even though there appear to be individuals who are active in both committees.
It is our opinion that the citizens of this community
should recognize the diff~rence in the aims and purposes
of the two committees and not let the activities of either
of the committees hav~ any influence in their opinion of
the aims and purposes of th-e other. The aims and purposes of each of the committees should stand on their own
m~rit.
Also, as we have previously stated, Alpine will g-et
the kind of educational program that they deserve.
GRAND JURY REPORTS
"The people of the state do not
yield t h e i r sovereignty to the
agencies which serve them. The
people, in delegating authority, do
not give their public servants the
right to decide what is good for
the people to know and what is
not good for them to know. The
people insist upon remaining in·
formed so that they may retain
control over the instruments they
have created."
Mindful of this statement of
legislative intent of Section 54950
to 54960, inclusive, of the Government Code (the so-called antisecrecy in government Jaw"), the
Grand J ury has been inquiring
into various phases of law enforcement.
In the course of investigating
numerous complaints about various facets of law enforcement, the
San Diego County Grand Jury has
found instances in which the law
enforcement agencies have knowl·
edge of abuses, favoritism or ir·
regularities bordering Oll law·violations which should have pr'ompted
agency officials to take immediate
corrective action.

San Diego State will formally
launch its college press on October
31 with the publication of a treatise on John Wyclif, a fourteenth
century English religious reformer.
San Diego State is the first col·
lege in the California State College
System to establish its own college
press.
According to Dr. Guerard Pif·
fard, associate professor of foreign
languages, division of humanities,
the formation of the college press
was started in 1958. Through the
establishment of a college press,
we feel that significantly important
material authored by the faculty
can be published unabridged under
sponsorship of the college, he said.
Research reports, community studies, documents, and literary ar·
ticles might be printed under the
auspices of the press.
With the cooperation of Presi·
dent Malcolm A. Love, Piffard
said, plans moved into high gear
last fall when initial funds were
made available by the local chapter of the California State Employees Association and the Association of California States College
Professors.
A manuscript entitled, "John
Wyclifi: Radical Dissenter" by Dr.
Edward A. Block, professor of
English, San Diego State, is the
initial publication of the press. It
will go on sale October 31 in the
campus bookstore, priced at $1.92.
Requests for copies may be sent
to the San Diego State College
Press.

than 275,000 Christmas Seal letters
for mailing to local residents.
Mrs. Sid Gillman, wife of the

of the 1962 Christmas Seal campaign, said that this year's campaign will get underway Nov. 13

efforts through contributions received for the colorful Yule Seals,
she said.
Preparation of the Seals for

Alpine Gardener
It's In The Library
By JEAN McCULLOUGH
To continue our chat about
potted plants for indoors or the
patio, Dieffenbachia is a lovely
foliage subject and it · can be had
in dark green with white veinings
tlr chartreuse with dark veinings,
the plant will take light shade, not
direct sun. But, it will tend t'O
grow leggy in too dark a place. It
needs very good draining, pieces
of broken pot, coarse sand and
plant in a mixture of one-third
garden loam and two-thirds peat
moss. Keep it good and damp with
a weak solution of liquid fertilizer
once every two months.
Philodendron is another plant of
considerable charm, two varieties,
one of which is the climbing variety which needs a support of some
kind. These plants need good
drainage and a loose soil mixture.
Small palms are attractive subjects for the house or patio, two of
which are cocos waddelliana and a
juvenile date palm, Phoenix roebeleni. Your nursery man would undoubtedly show you a number of
others. The PQtting mixture for
these should be one third garden
loam, one-third sand and one-third
leaf mold with a small amount of
bone-meal mixed with it.

Young mothers, teen-agers and
old folk may be interested in one
or all three of the f()llowing books:
Special Delivery by Shirley Jackson and others is a useful book
for brand new mothers. It is humorous, reassuring, informative-and all a)bout babies. Among the
contributors to this unique anthology are such master .parents as
Shirley Jackson, Cornelia Otis
Skinner, Mark Twain, Christopher
M'6rley, Robert Benchley and Ogden Nash.
Growing Pains by Helen Parkhurst are actual interviews with
teenagers giving first person testimony of what they think about society, prejudice, love, delinquency,
politics, war and every other aspect of their turbulent world. Here
is the truth about what teen-agers
d'O in certain situations, and why.
Here is what teen-agers themselves
feel would be the best way to handle their own problems.

A month ago I wrote about the
different kinds of people who come
to borrow books or even just to
sit awhile in the li!brary and
glance over the magazines. But
how do these people get to the
library? There is nd public transportation in Alpine so most people come in cars. Those living
nearby can walk or ride bicycles.
But there is another way to travel
when ()De lives in the country, and
that is on hor seback! Recently a
borrower tied her animal to a tree
outside the Woman's Club where
the library is located. She checked
out several books which she
stashed away in the saddelbags be·

generation will fly to the libraryAlpine covers a large area of the
