A. Noakes, who are vacationing in Southwes- tern United States.) California, Feb. 15, 1961. I have been waiting for a wet day to write, but the days, for the most part, have been just wonder- ful and sunny, so I spend my time outdoors — doctor's orders, you know. Down in the lower section of San Jose they hold an open market on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This is a large space, covering about five acres, and it is just like a fair. It is called "The Flea Market." Why, I don't know. There are rows and rows of stalls where people bring "stuff" to sell, such as household gadgets, dry goods, furniture, hardware, jew- ellery, ornamens, and just plain junk. These fellows are a bunch of traders. One offers them just half the price they ask, and then the fun begins. At one end there is an auctioneer selling from a truck—merchants' surplus, most of which is new, but hard to sell it- ems from stores. If a person.has something at home he doesn't want, he takes it to "The Flea Market" and he will auction it off. Lots of fun! On the other side are pony rides for the kiddies, hot dogs, etc. Then there are the go-cart races. This was more in my line, They have real races with these little cars. The track is about one-quar- ter mile around with an "S" in the ,centre, banked with bales of hay and old tires, so no one gets hurt. There is a class for kids, from 10. to 16 years of age. They have a single air-cooled motor in the back and obtain quite a speed on the stretch,. but the trick is to get around the turns and stay in front. They have real starters and flagmen. The older men race with twin -motors on their carts, and they really slide round the turns. The crowds that come out is just like London Fair on Wednesday. San' Jose (pronounced San Azay down here) is quite a large city with a population of 240,000, and I have been told that last year 250 people per day look up permanent residence here in the valley. Lock- heed has a large missile plant here; also here are General Elec- tric and others that make parts for different projects — building, housing and highways everywhere.

Everybody Welcome \Ladies Please Bring Lunch the merchants of San Jose had a Dollar -Day Sale. You know what I mean,, --510 dresses for $1 $10 shoes and one pair free; lots of things too numerous to mention— so I went along just for the ride, and what I ride I had! "Brother! My orders. Now you stay there so I'll know where to find you; I'll only be a minute." An hour later they returned—got delayed! Into the next store. "Now you stay, etc.?' Did you ever go along with a couple of bargain -hunting women? You should try it some time. March : California Weather 75 The next day, February 22, being Washington's birthday, was a pub- lic holiday over here, so we went for a ride, We packed a lunch and were ready to go. We headed east 40 miles to Oakland, a maze of highways overhead, over the streets, two decks, quite a thrill to look down on the city with the bay on one side and hills on the other—no place to live except up in the hills. After driving around over and under, we finally got out of the maze and headed north to- ward the hills, Soon we went through the hills—lovely and green —and down into the San Joaquin valley. This is more like it should be, I thought: miles and miles of nice farms, spring grain up about four inches, and alfalfa waving in the breeze. We passed through a little town of Tracey—stockyards, elevators, feed mills and a sugar beet factory seemed, to be the industries, Soon came a section of country with miles on either side of fruit trees in full bloom. We stopped for lunch outside a small town named Matecia, where we made the ac- quaintance of a gentleman who told us the fruit trees are nut - bearing trees -almonds and fil- berts. The walnut are not in bloom yet. I asked how they har- vest all these nuts and was told they spread "tarps" under the trees, then they have a long arm called a vibrator sticking up from the front end of a tractor and it shakesthenuts onto the tarp, from which they are gathered. Then they are put through rollers to remove the husks. They also have sugar beet planters that plant cer- tified seed one at a time, eight inches apart in rows—very little hard labor. From here we turned and went through Livermore Valley, where there are small farms and gardens —strawberries starting to bloom— dairy farms, etc. Gradually it be- came more populated as we got out of the valley. It was a lovely day and a wonderful sightseeing trip. So we got onto the freeway and the "rat race" began, to see who can get nowhere first. I forgot to mention the flocks of robins feed- ing on the mountain berries, get- ting fat and ready for their jour- ney back "home". I don't think our robins come this far. I no- ticed during my rambles that the pear orchards are just beginning to show green and will soon. be in bloom. All for now; will tell more later.
