REAL CONSTRUCTIONISTS
V
Serving without pay or other reward, and demon
strating their right to be numbered among the real con
structive forces of the nation, the amateur radio opera
tors have elicited the praise of the world by the manner
in which they leapt to the occasion when communica
tions between the earthquake stricken area of Southern
California and the outside world were disrupted. Like a
well-trained, well disciplined army these yM'tns of both
sexes stepped into the breach and emerged clothed with
crlory.
Alaska also has its amateur radio corps; in this par
ticular area Art Herren of Anchorage operates the dis
trict control station for the Army amateur radio net. ine
corps stretches from Ketchikan to the Shumagm Islands
of the Aleutians. Many times have these stations served
wonderfully in maintaining communications between
spots having no other connections.
And like those boys and girls of Southern California,
their work is purely altruistic and their reward the ap
preciation of a grateful people.
China claims Japan is making a hard bed for itself.
Evidently subsisting concrete for soft pine boards pad
ded with a sheet of a newspaper.
Senator Sheppard of Texas says the^ repeal of the
18th amendment would arrest the country s progress. If
that’s all that is needed to stop the downhill trend by all
means let Congress pass the bill this week.
At last a u^e has been found for old-model sour
doughs in California. When it was necessary to extin
quish all fires in Long Beach they put the S. D.’s to work
turning out bannocks from a fry pan.
It is difficult to understand all this talk about froz
en assets in the States when there has been so much
“hot” graft going on.

Think of it! Next Friday is St. Patrick's Day and

We had the stagger system in private employment,
stagger system in government employment, and now we
have the stagger system in banking. No wonder they are
rushing the repeai of the 18th amendment.

NORTH WIND FOR GOAL
Having become fed up.on what I
the North wind has been doing all j
winter in sneezing its frigid breath |
over the landscape, the South wind |
last night took matters in its own j
hands and hurled back what it;
had received for the past three
months along with interest.
Being in a playful mood the
wind ripped off a piece of weath
erboard in Balaam’s alley and
picked off a few shingles from the
roof of Joe Hofman’s annex to the i
Belmont. Flying ash can lids keptl
up a cacophonous tenor to thej
I bass roar of the gale.
! Throughout the night a heavy j
surf pounded the waterfront with,
thunderous intonations.
What was jikin to a tidal wave
lashed the waterfront from the
breakwater to the cannery, piling
driftwood, pilings and logs high
above normal high tide line.
Among the debris were the piling
from the old dock or tracks along
side the hill west of the Ocean
dock. About three-fourths of these
were smashed off and piled in the
bight west of the dock.
Large logs were tossed high up
the shore gtnd underneath and be
tween the Mayflower, Redwing
and other fishing boats hauled out
last winter and reposing upon
cradles.
Small boats were picked from i
the crest of the beach line and
shoved over into the street.
Many tons of filling along the
j railroad track east of the Ocean
j dock were washed out but not suf
| ficient to damage the railroad.
That the upper bay was lashed
! and hammered was shown by the
! cable sign, stationed north of the
j San Juan cold storage plant, which
j was smashed and washed down to
' a point opposite the depot.
The City floating dock, beside the
Ocean dock, was broken loose from
| its mooring and hurled onto the
! beach.
i One boat owner, in cleaning
gravel and debris out of his craft,
resting on the slope of the beach,
found a dozen small clams and
some small fish had been washed
in.
Enough drift lumber was scat
I tered along the beach between the
San Juan dock and the depot to
! build a house.
Wood hustlers were busy aii day
making saws ring in salvaging
cords of w’ood, while many who last

fall sawed up and piled many
ricks along th£ west beach, found
it washed along the coast for hun
dreds of yards.
So high was the tide and pres
sure of the wind that it came
over the beach line along the west
hillside and filled the low basin j
beyound the small boat storage
! field.
