Primitive Sonora Pass Operas
W00L) to New Vacation Paradise
i
SONORA HIGHLANDS--Fleecy clouds in the background prove picturesque horizon for motor-
ists who drive into the Sonora Pass area and further into one of the last primitive areas of the
west, a paradise for hunters, fishermen and vacationists.
Bordering on one of the
west's last primitive domain,
the Sonora Pass' region is be-
coming more and more the

vacation spot for Central Cali-

In this sportsmen's paradise
above Sonora, fishermen, hunt-
ers and those out for just plain
"rest" find accommodations to
suit their purse or their desire
for rugged or luxnrious living.
When the sno flies, skiers and
"snowbirds" flock to the new

ground from November until
May.
l.'ibing Trips
The region abounds in lakes
and slrealn. appealing to the
fly-casiing fool or the bait fisher-
man. Pack trips travel over
granite trails into the vast
Emigrant Primitive Area where
' the mark of man is difficult to
find, and where fish are planted
by airplane because there are
no roads or trails to reach the
tmtrammelled little lakes and
creeks.

Strawberry Lake a romantic site
for boating and sailing.
Other resorts along the 60-miie

PUZZLE OF IAFE
What dbes all this mean to
you and me? Not too much if we
think only in terms of wet feet,
sewage dislosal and taxes. But
it can mean plenty if you fol-
low the old American custom of
letting your mind lift and travel.
Briefly, it may help up solve
the puzzle of what life is, and
what its extent is. Do we cling
to a single tiny fragment of
rock caught midway between the
million-degree fires of galactic
suns and the absolute cold of
space, the only cinder with the
right amount of heat and the
right composition of elements
to support life as we know it?
Or are there ahout us a million}
other worlds where men are, or
are possible?
Are we here, as were the
dinosaurs, for a brief visit of a
few hundred thousand or a few
million years, only to be gutted
out by some change in the com-
position or relationship of dis-
tant nebulae, a forgotten freak
unknown to any consciousness
but our own? "What does that do
for your thinking, your religion
and your politics?
HOW OLD IS SUN?
How old is otir sun? How long
has it been hot alrd how long
will it remain at a heat to sus-
tain us? "Why do stars remain
brilliant and apparently burning
tor millions of years?
Vrhat is the ultimate in the
expanding and diminishng pa-
rallel-from the earth down
through the atom to gallaxies in-
finitestimatly small, and from
the earth uI) through our solar
system, and the great gallaxies,
to something else? To what? To
a meeting with the atom in a
vast physical circle? Or to con-
tinue indefinitely to things
smaller and things bigger, fat'
beyond human imagination? The
curious human mind refuses to
accept this infinity, but it re-
fuses also to leave unexan]il]e(t
any light that may solve the
mystery.

and pencil, have been ponder-
