HARBISON CANYON HAS WATER PROBLEMS

At a picnic the other day, an
old timer picked up a hard boiled !
egg and smiled reminiscently. I
wanted to know what he was remembering so happily and he
chuckled as he balanced the egg in
his hand. "School lunches," he
said, "long as I live I guess hard
boiled eggs will remind me of the
lunches my mother packed for me
to tote to school when I was a kid."
Then he showed me how the kids

The Tavern and the Stage
By Bea LaForce
Many people have been luck y enough t o h ear of t.he
early days of the Alpine Tavern fr om its last T avern
keeper, Miss K. J. Dowd. Miss Dowd could tell the
stories with a special flair that made them sound ver y exciting. Although she was not at the Tavern in t h e early
Assessed Vallles For
Counties Compared
The average relationship of
county-assessed values to full cash
values ·of taxable property throughout the state is 23.1 percent this
year, a decrease of seven-tenths
of a percentage point from last
year's average, according to figures released today by Richard
Nevins, Southern California member of the State Board of Equalization.
This statewide average reflects
county ratios ranging from less
than 19 percent to a little over
27 percent, Nevins stated. San
Diego County's ratio is 23.8 percent.
The law directs the State Board
of Equalization to find and publish
the ratio of assessed to full cash
value for each county annually.
This ratio is then used by the
State Department of Education in
the apportionment 'Of state aid to
school districts and by the State
Controller to compute repayments
of state loans for school building
construction.
In counties with ratios below
the statewide average, countywide
taxes must belevied to raise funds
for expenditure in any school districts within the county whose
assessed values per student are
low, Nevins added.
If a county's ratio differs greatly from the statewide average, the
State Board of Equalization will

La Jolla Rough
Water Swim Sept. 8
Roy Saari, the world's greatest
distance swimmer at 18 years of
age, is expected to compete here
in the time-honored La Jolla Rough
Water Swim on Sept. 8 at 2 p.m.
at La Jolla Cove.
The granddaddy of all U. S.
rough water events, featured event
of the La Jolla Aqua Fiesta, is being held for the 32nd time in a
series dating back to 1916. It has
been held consecutively since 1936
save for a cancellation in 1959.
Saari, a University of Southern
California sophomore from El Segundo, is national champion and
world record holder in the 1500meter freestyle and has won the
rough water swim the past three
years. Last year he won the onemile race here over a triangular
course starting and finishing at
the Cove by one of the widest
margins in the event's 47-year history.
1900s when this picture was taken, she had the history of those
days from people who had lived
them and could herself make them
live again.
When she told me about the
horse drawn stage, I could fairly
hear it roaring up the driveway,
the hoof beats drumming to the
song of the wheels. The stage
stopped under the per gola before
the front door to dischar ge its pas·
sengers, then circle round and
went out again.
Mr. Montague Brabazon remembers that the stage, which came
from Lakeside, brought passengers
from the train there, to the Tavern
where they stopped for the big
mid-day dinner prepared for them
by the proprietor, Mrs. Campbell.
The travelers would alight at the
Tavern and while they were eating and resting, the driver took
the stage on over to Alpine where
he delivered and picked up mail,
and changed horses for a fresh
team. It is assumed that he ate
somewhere in Alpine, for he
waited there for Mr. Campbell to
bring the guests over from the
Tavern. Mr. Campbell had a two·
seated buggy and a fast team of
horses which he used for this pu.rpose. Sometimes there'd be so
many guests he'd have to make
two trips.
Many times guests remained at
the Tavern for vacations, while
others, their vacation over, would
make the return trip to Lakeside
and the train back to San Diego.
Not every time, but often, the
stage made the run on up to the
Cuyamaca mines, with mail and
passengers. Apparently there were
no bandits in the hills then for
no one is "riding shotgun" on this
stage. They say gold was not
brought from the mines by stage
anyhow, but was sent by freight
wagons where it was hidden under
loads of logs.
Lutheran Church
Pastor Retires
Due to failing health Reverend
Charles W. Tedrahn, pastor of the
First Lutheran Church of Alpine
since its foundi ng, r etired as of
last Sunday, Aug. 25. The entire
congregation deeply r egrets the
necessity of their beloved pastor's
leaving their pulpit, but are grateful for the years he has given
them.
Beginning September 1, the
church will be served temporarily
by Rev. Kar l Schaaf of San Diego
until a permanent pastor can be
obtained. Church services will
continue without interruption.

Pure Slander
Sherwood Forest near Nottingham, England, was the
stamping grounds of our "hero," Robinhood.
Now comes along an organization in Nottingham
which claims that he was a "hood" and that if he were to
pull off his stunts of robbing from the rich to giv.e to the
poor around their countryside these days, he would be
thrown in jail.
These same critics, however, state that there are
many persons nowadays who are doing the same thing as
Robinhood, but are getting by with it because they are
doing it the legal way-under the guise of "welfare
states."

a lunch, he said. But usually when
families couldn't feed and clothe
the children for school, the kids
just didn't go. When a child did
show up without a lunch, the teacher tactfully arranged for the other
children to share their food with

the Type A pattern, but most foods

local suppliers. In 1962 foods fi·

There are lots of things coming
up in the garden to be done these
late summer days such as feeding
dahlias and watering them deeply
and having them staked so the
top-heavy blossoms will not topple them over.

keeping them well watered will
help prolong t h e i r blooming

time to prepare your iris beds for

is such a variety of these beautiful flowers and they do well in
our gardens. Lots of early bulbs
will be coming into the nurseries
now, freesias, ixias, sparaxis, etc.,

we thought it would be very interesting to see just how many versions of cooking corn we could

A new twist and one unfamiliar
to us is to put half to one inch
of water in a large kettle, completely cover bottom of pan with
inner corn husks and then add
ears of corn- tightly seal with lid
and steam slowly for 30 minutes.
The corn never touches the water
.and retains a different flavor from
the husks.
