The same basic element but hardly to be compared for lustre. And if someone sniffs, "Yes, indeed a diamond," we have to agree that there is a certain Iwashness a n d flamboyance about Monterey's wharf, but so fay it has failed to" spoil it. It is till tle genuine thing. It sfts at the end of the main street, ahnost a continuation of tile street, a water-bound avenue of stout planking sitting on heavy barnacle-entrusted pilings. It' a show-window to the blue waters of Monterey Bay, with its. wide graceful shore curving around towards Santa Cruz and the nlotlntains a pink cascade to the east.

You are LUcia l I, the Italia and the "rlehna K, and the many others that dance on the blue water in the sunlight• When you read those names on the white-paint- ed bows you know something of the melt who sail them ltian, Spanish, Portugese and some just plain American. And th(tlgh the tourists walk the weather-heaten planks of the 'harf that's not what you notice. Especially if you go down there early in the morning. For then the Wharf belongs to the nlen who catch fish and the men 'ho sell them, and the calls anl the laughter have an un- spoiled flavor: you can imagine yourself in Genoa or Seville, and you have lo be prepared for the siglt of two Japanese talking away m fast Spanish. Akmg both sides of the wharf are the vendors' stands with hour-ohl catch waiting to tempt you. and in between are res- tam'ants that cater to the sea- focal gourmet. There's Pop Er- ne,t, first roan'to soften up the succulent abalone for the Amer- ican palate. He found tlmt by beating them with a sculptor's lnallet or an empty rum bottle iboth readily available on the Monterey Peninsula) he could reduce lhem from rubber-heel eon,istency to the point where you could concentrate less on their texture and more on their delicate flavor. There are curio stands with shells delicately moulded into table ornaments and lamps. Or the abalone shells themselves, fresh from the ocean and costing 20 cents apiece. Up nd Down the Spectrum An(I there's color. As a dress- up for the 1948 Centennial, peo- pie with brushes and paint buckets came to the wharf and did it over. It has been said that PAG£ 8-MAGAZINE CAUFORNIA there's no one with a poorer eye for color blending than an artist. On the wharf they sim- ply ran nl) and down the spec-. trum. The results were start- ling, distinctive and in some indefinable way, pleasing. When artists Bruce Arris and Jean Varda were consulted on the color scheme for Angelo's res- taurant, run by four enterpriS- ing G.I.'s, Varda stated flatly, "Paint it pink, black, orange, green and purple, for it is ob- vious that those are the only possible colors for a restaurant." While there are people in Bak- ersfield and Indio who might argue with this point of view, the results on the wharf seem just right. Down below the wharf sea lions bark and roar among lhe pilings, and you see them lying on the bait hoppers off Cannery Row. And if you have an urge to catch some fish instead of buying them you can charter a boat and go after albacore or sahnou, or you can go with the crowd and take your pick off the bottom. Oak Trees Need Care - Few home owners realize that oak trees need careful attention if they are to remain healthy and decorative, says plant path- elogist H N. Hansen, University of California College of Agricul- ture. Oaks thrive on well drained soils. This should be the guide in lan(lscaping around oak trees. Excess watering around oaks is bad business. Normally the rainy season takes care of their water needs. The rest of the year the roots find necessary 'water ill below ground reser- voir. Soils should not be added un- (ler oaks. Any new soil around fhe tree trunks foster wood rot- ting fungi which can quickly kill the trees. • When you go to Los Angeles, DAD be sure to stay at the FiguerOa Hotel.
