Uncle after all, there is no place like home Our biggest thrill and most exciting trip was to San Francisco and since we thought that some McHenry - ites might be contemplating a trip to the same spot this summer, we will give you a trip to San Francisco, via Los Angeles and all points south.

This took us by Herst's San Simeon ranch and then for sixtythree miles we wound in and out along the ocean. Sometimes up the mountains and sometimes down at all times we could look down a sheer cliff to the ocean at least a thousand feet below at some spots. We passed dozens of beautiful waterfalls and picturesque bridges. Wlhile this route is considerably longer, we recommend it as a sight never to be forgotten.

H Hdwe Main Street^ Wert McHenrr very fortunate to arrive at the spring of the year when all were in blossom and the air filled with a delicate perfume of flowers. On into Palo Alto where we passed the Stanford campus and then Tanforan, the San Francisco race track, which was opening that day and full of activity. We stopped in an auto camp (Motel is the word} in Daly City and that is as close as you can get to the downtown district. As soon as we were settled we headed for the Fair. We crosesd part of the Oakland Bay Bridge to Yerba Buena Island, wher# a toll of fifty cents per car is collect* ed, and the| on to Treasure Island* the largest man-made island in the world, where the Fair grounds are. To be very truthful to those who saw the Chicago Fair, San ^Francisco Fair, will seem like "small potatoes," in spite of all the bally-hoo about it. The - buildings and flowers and lighting effects are fine and so are the California exhibits but the rest of the exhibits cannot compare with those Chicago. We did however especially enjoy a boat trip we took from Treasure Island around Yerba Buena Island, along- San Francisco's water front, Golden Gate Bridge, around Alcatrai Island, where the Federal Penitentiary is located, and then back to Treasure Island. This trip takes about an hour and all for the nominal sum of fifty cents. We recommend it for ? wonderful view of San Francisco an4 the bay. Chinatown In the evening we took a chartered trip to the largest Chinese settlement outside of China, San Francisco's famous Chinatown. Hjere in twenty-foup square blocks live over 22,000 Chinese^ Here also is the only Chinese tele-' phone exchange in America and, I be*; lieve. outside of China.

We also went to a Joss house, a theater, a restaurant, a tea house where we were given a lesson in Chinese music and then we visited many Chinese shops and museums where many of China's art treasures' are being collected since the Japanese invasJonj, • From Chinatown we passed the re* mains of the old Barbary Coast and oil )up to Telegraph Hill. Here we had an unexcelled view of the bay, the is* lands, the bridges and San Francisco %- night. Again we were most fortunate as we had a clear night and we could see for miles in every direction.,1 Words cannot describe the beaaily d| this unique panorama. Fishermen's Wharf The following morning we took our? car and drove through Golden Gatf Park to the famous Cliff House. Seal Roc'O. and Rock Point, where we saw the rotting hulks of two large boats which had run aground there. Again it was clear and we had a perfect view of the bay, the islands, and the bridges by daylight Foj dinner wf went to the world-famous Fishermen's CITIZENS (By Petition) FOR SUPERVISOR (Vote for One) MATH N.
