President' s Message

Carol Cornett

I am already thinking I'll never be ready for Christmas day and yet our Halloween pumpkin has barely begun to "wither"! Be­cause your days are likely 10 be busy, our November activities are centered around our desire to let all be involved in what I hOI)e will be family days spent together planning and enjoying our Thanksgivings.

Pal Baca and her International Commit­tee will be hosting another memorable In­ternationals Dance in the Barbara McNitt Ballroom on the 14th.

Checrie Wanner, Candy Ellis, and their committee have a Holiday Potpourri, a Christmas Bazaar, all organized for our browsing and shopping pleasure. It will be held on Saturday, the 22nd, from W:30a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Barbara Mc itt Ball­room. I am sure you have heard people say that talent is abundant here in Monterey, and this Bazaar wiJI offer those of us in­terested in viewing and purchasing special crafts an opportunity to do so. A Bazaar always lends a certain feeling of excitement to the air for people participating and J do hope you will join us, find "just the thing" you've always been looking for, and enjoy the day.

Our calendar last month was certainly active. I would like to thank Cherrie Wan­ner for hostessing the ew Section Lead­ers' Wives coffee held in the Terrace Room. To each of you who joined us for coffee, I hope you enjoyed the morning, meeting new friends, and I hope we will see much more of you at the many functions sponsored by OSWC.

The Military Ball was splendid. My thanks to June Lunney, Caye Edwards and their committee for an evening that was perfect in every detaili and an evening that was thoroughly e njoyed by all who at­tended.

Our Welcome Aboard Coffee proved to be another highly successful program, and I would like to thank Laurel May and Linda

THE CLASSMATE

os we News

Fricke for all thei r effort s in making the evening worthwhile, fulJ of sincere wishes of "welcome" to our new wives.

Many of you signed up for the campus tour and found yourselves learning histori­cal lore beyond recall. This is a tour you should take twice and we would be happy to have you join us again on our next one. A special thank you goes to Cherrie Wanner for organizing the tour and to Mrs. Linder for sharing her home with us for the tea following the tour.

The thank yous are many this month. We had many functions and I hope you enjoyed the events you attended.

My girls are into holiday sweets I thought I could hide before they found, so I'd best s ign off for this month, put my typewriter away and get ready to attack my "before Thanksgiving" lists of things to do.

Hope to see you at the Bazaar and do have a special Thanksgiving.

1st VP's Message

TREND STUDIO PHOTO

Cherne Wanner

lust about this time every year it begins to register that the holiday season is fast ap­proaching, and once again, I am not pre­pared. Each day, at leas t once, that old light bulb nashes and I am bombarded with thoughts of turkey, Thanksgiving, pumpkin pies, Santa Clause, stocking stuffers,

NOVEMBER, 1975

grandmothers. trimming trees. parties. gaining weight, candy, cook ies. carols, cards and MA Y. MANY others . Now the logical solution would be to begin now and do just a bit each day. and . of course, I must. But there will always be just a few odds and ends left to do th e day before Thanksgiving and the week before Christ­mas. Somehow it wouldn't be th e same without that last minute excitement of mak­ing one more pie or findingjust the right size of mittens for Susie Q.

To aid in your holida y shopping. the OSWC offers HOLIDAY POTPOURRI "A Christmas and Craft s Bazaar." Saturday, November 22nd is the date and the times are 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On this day the Barbara McNitt Ballroom will come alive with the many talents, crafts and beautiful handiwork of our friends here at NPS. November 7th is the deadline for registra­tion for those wishing to sell, so if you are interested, you'd better hurry.

The month of October was so very full of activities and I would like to thank everyone who so willingly helped make the events successful. The names are many and I am sure if I tried to list them all I would inevit­ably forget someone, so I will just say again. THANK YOU ALL.

Sitting here at my typewriter I have a bird's eye view of th e basket of ironing that has been accul1lulatingoverthe last week or so, and hard as I may try to tell myself that it is getting smaller, I would swear that some of those blouses and shirts now have little ones to match! I think the time has corne for Ha nna Housewife to do her thing!

I hope each one of you will make a special effort to join us for " Holiday Potpourri" and treat yourselves to a shopping spree!

As Thanksgiving Day comes upon us , try to reserve a minute or two for wholehearted Thanksgiving. How seldom we realize how much we are given.

OSWC Courtesies: Courtesies are extended by OS we in the

form of fl owers or cards to student wives who are hospitalized, seriously ill, or who have had a death in the immediate family or near relatives. If you know of someone to whom flowers or a card should be sent, plea.e contact Candy Ellis, 649-3126.

NAVAL POSTGRADUATE

SCHOOL NEWS

An Evening with

an International Student Family for their willingness to work with students when further explanation is needed.

111is is the first time Engin has been able 10 join her husband outside of Turkey. I asked what she had found to do during her husband's long hours of study other than her duties of housewife and mother. Shortly after their arrival, Engin enrolled at MPC for an EngHsh course. Later she took some classes at Monterey Institute. Shea does not plan to obtain her Masters Degree in Art at this time but feels she may try to in the future. Other activities she has partici­pated in include two years with the Interna­tional Cooking Class, International Night, Red Cross work and macrame and cake decorating classes. While her youngest son Efe was enrolled at the co-op nursery school, she worked with his class twice a week. Presently she is enjoying the ceramics craft shop at Ft. Ord.

By Pal Vin es

One day as I was speaking with Pat Baca about her International Message, she sug­ges ted I meet a very enjoyable couple from Turkey. She arranged an appointment for a n interview and accompanied me to the home of Ergin and Engin IGslali. We were met at the car by two bright-eyed little boys, Ekin and Efe, who ushered us to their par­ents.

The Kislalis are most gracious hosts. I had anticipated a casual chat about their country, impressions of the U.S . and their future plans. Instead we were treated 10

delicious hot hors d'oeuvres with juice. Later Engin served BakJava with coffee. I found I was enjoying myself so much with the good food and conversation that I wanted to toss away my pad and pen and forget any idea of an interview. But, alas, it was ti me to get down to business.

Ergin Kislali is a Turkish Naval Officer; one of 18 currently assigned to NPS. Heand his wife Engin are from Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. They met in school and mar­ried about s ix months after Ergin went into the Navy. I asked Ergin if he was from a Navy family. He grinned as he replied, "No. My father was a career Army officer." I got the feeling there might be some friendly rivalry on which service is best during fam­ily get-togethers.

When asked what differences he had noticed between the .S. avy and his own country's, he said the Turkish Navy is smal­ler in size, with approximately 3,000 men. He also felt that it was more strict in dealing with its personnel. He believes there will be SOme policy cha nges in the near future. For example. at the present time if a Navy man marries a woman of another nationality he is automatically discharged from service. He feels this rule will be changed because some men unhapl)Y with military life deliberately marry a non·Turkish wife to keep from

finishing their required 10 years of service. Another difference he noted was tllat it takes 25 years service to retire.

How does one in the Turkish Navy Qualify for postgraduate school? Ergin explained that a good service record a nd a passing score on a written examination were re­quired. The examination is only offered to the Navy officers and is not open to the other branches of service. At the time he was selected, he was one of eight who pas­sed the examinat ion.

" Studying at the graduate level in a foreign language must be extremely dif­ficult," I said. Ergin replied that the first three months were the most difficult. After that, one has a better understanding of the language. He complimented the instructors for speaking slowly and clearly when inter­national students are present in class and

Both say they found it easy to adjust to the community and the social differences they encountered. Theyexplained that the social customs in the large cities of Turkey are very similar to ours but that the rural areas adhere more to the traditional customs. Ergin believes that educated people are more open-minded about social differences

Engin, Ekin. Ete and &gin Kis/a/i,

and can adapt more readily to any given situation.

TIle IGslalis have traveled up and down the West Coast from Canada to Mexico dur­ing the school breaks. Mos t of the time they take camping trips and have been to many of the National Parks in California .

I n December Ergin will complete his re­quirements and graduate with his degree in Electrical Engineering. The family plans to travel across the southern s ta tes to the East Coast and then north to New York City. From New York they will return to their homeland where Ergin will assume his duties aboard a tender. We send with them best wishes for a safe journey a nd hope they look back on their tim e h er e at Post­graduate School with fond memories.

ONLY THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY

NPS News Release: Strange and wonderful things are likely to

happen to those whose lives become in­volved with those of the Indochinese re­fugees. This could be confi rmed by LCDR Don Crumbley, a management student at the Naval Postgraduate School in Mon­terey. An only child of parents in Texas, he now finds himself "head" of a family that at last count exceeded 160 members. The 160-plus are all Vietnamese refugees, rela­tives of Crumbl ey' s Vietnamese wife, Mary.

"But not all 160 are close relatives," Mary Crumbley laughs. her brown eyes lighting up. "Only 47 are in my immediate

family," "Forly-seven," Crumbley sighs. "You should see our telephone bill! That's the biggest expense - telephoning around the country trying to find people to take Mary's relatives."

The Crumbley's pleasant living room in La Mesa Village has an oriental look from furnishings acquired by the couple during tours in Vietnam and the Philippines. In the hall beyond there's a lilt of children 's voi­ces . Lorell, the Crumbley's only child, is trying to explain something in English to several refugee children.

"Lorell's three," her mother says. "She doesn't speak Vietnamese. But that doesn't hold her back. She's enjoying the other

children. " Tiny Mary Crumbley, resembling a Viet­

namese doll in a pink blouse and black slacks, sits in a rocking chair with a small child in her lap. The child is not a relative, she explains, but the daughter of a young refugee woman, "an orphan," who is at­tending beauty school in Monterey. One can tell from her voice that being an orphan - having no family of one's own - is about the worst fate that can befall a Vietnamese.

"Vietnamese families are very close," Don Crumbley confirms. "Their whole lives are oriented around the family. "

That may explain why the family acted as a group in fleeing from South Vietnam when it fell. Already refugees from the north, they knew their lives were in serious danger from the incoming Communists. Mary's parents and seven brothers and sisters, plus spouses and children. got out with only the clothes on their backs. They ended up for the most part at Camp Pendleton. (A sister who is a Roman Catholic nun and a brother studying for the priesthood remained be· hind in Vietnam .)

"We've been taking them out in small groups," Crumbley explains . "Nine of them, including Mary's parents, have been sharing our home until just recently. We've found a house for them in Monterey. Their new landlord is an Oriental , so he feels sympathetic to their problem ."

How about jobs? "So far, it's been easier finding jobs for the women than the men. Mary's sister-in-law and another girl are working in a garment factory in Monterey. A brother who was a schoolteacher in Viet­nam found a job in a laundry."

And the worst problem? "Communica­tion. They're all working hard on their En­glish. Some spoke a little when they came, others didn't know a word." One relative was a skilled signmaker in Vietnam -"He'll have to learn English before he could possibly pursue his trade here."

Getting out of Vietnam was an adventure for Mary Crumbley's family. "The reams of paperwork we filled out and sent to the U.S. embassy in Saigon didn't do a bit of good," Crumbley said. "So a group of them spent their life savings to buy a small boat. That got them to a landing craft th a t took th em and 3000 other refugees to th e Philippines - a three-week trip . Others were flown out." Mary's parents were taken by helicop­ter aboard the aircraft carrier HA NCOCK. "They've been s inging the Navy's praises every since," Crumbley says. " They couldn't gel over every thing the HANCOCK's crew did for them. "

Mary and Don Crumbley met when he was serving with the Navy in Vietnam. Asked how Mary's family accepted him , a Westerner, into their tight-knit group, Crumbley smiles. " Th ey were dead set against it at first. Mary's father was the first to break down. But her mother kept parad-

ing eligible you ng Vietnamese men in front of Mary and asking her to choose. When she finally realized Mary's mind was made up , that was it. They've treated me as one of the family ever since. Now her father is saying to her mother, 'See - I told you!' " Both Crumbleys laugh.

NPS Press Release Navy LCDR John M. McGra.h, a former

POW, has just published the first pictorial record showing what captivity in North Vietnam was Like for the American prison­ers of war. His book is called Prisoner 0/ War -Six Years in Hanoi .

The fu ll-page illustrat ions for the book were done in pen and ink from memory by McGrath in th e months immediately follow­ing his release in March 1973. The drawings came easily , McGrath said; he had spent the years of his captivity covertly sketching in his cell. on toilet paper with homemade ink of c igarette ashes, sugar and water and a pen made from a split bamboo splinter. Two of the book's drawings were smuggled out with McGrath when he was released -one of the prison's sanitary facilities and the

at times held over 50 prisoners. "These were the only ones I managed to

bring out," McGrath said . "Normally, I de­s troyed my drawings immediately after finishing the m. If they found them , I was in serious trouble."

Th e drawings illus trate the homely de­tails of the prisoner's existence and the varying - but usually harsh - treatment received from their captors.

"You can read and talk about these things, but they're hard to visualize if you haven't seen them," McGrath said. "After I got back I did the drawings to show friends what it was like. Then I did some descrip­tive narrative to accompany each drawing, and suddenly I had a book. "

The book, published by .he Naval lns.i­tute Press. Annapolis, Md., contains S5 drawings.

Las t month's Fads and Fashions colu mn dealt with facia l s kin care. Now tha t everyone's skin is clear , clean and lovely, we progress on to basics of make-up appli­ca tion. Start at the begin ning with under make.up moi sturize r. T his com es in th ree selections: water base for oily s kin; oil base for dry skin : and powder base for all ski n types. My prefere nce is the powder base make-up since it doesn' , turn oily as oil base make-ups do, and it does n' t fade out du ring the day as water base make-ups do. lt is a concentra ted cream that requires very little fo r smooth coverage, and will las! all day. This eli minates the process of com· ing home and starting from scratch in order to go out for the evening.

When applying make.up , use you~ing finger (it has the leas t muscle strength) or preferab ly a make·up sponge (th e real sponge) for the most even coverage. S mooth in a diagonal di rection from center towards ears and down . ever smooth upward or around in ci rcles as this wiIJ work make-up into pores.

If you have chosen your make-up shade correctl y you will not need to put make-up over your throat . You match the mak e-up shade to the throat and then it will ble nd over the entire a rea without visible color lines. If you need a tone correc tor this can be done in the form of your mois turizer or make-up texturizer (s teps th ree or four). Both the make-up tex turizer and the mois-

and Trends turizer come in three corrector shades: mint tone fo r rudd y (re ddi sh) co mple xions , mauve for sallow (yellowish) complexions, apricot or bronze for skin with a fading tan or a s imilar proble m. such as redheads with freckles.

If you have a skin tone problem, put your tone corrector on your throat area firs t and then match your ma ke-up base to your throat.

U nde r-eye cover-up: This is a whitish substance which comes in both cream or s tick form . I would recommend the c ream as the stick mus t be pulled along under th e eye, thus s tretching the tissue and com· pounding probl ems with wrinkles . You pat the cream on with your ring or ba by fin ger beginning close to the nose and along under the eye. making sure to work it up into lower lashes, a nd along th e top of the cheek-bone to the hair line. Be sure this is blended well so as to melt into the make-up base without line d istinction. The art of good make-up is good blending.

The under-eye cover-up cream comes in several shades , usual ly ligh t, med . light, medium, a nd beige. I recommend the light for al l since the whitish color reflects light a nd ta kes away the dark circles from under the eye whjch is the purpose of under-eye cover-up.

Blush er: Blushe r comes in cream or powder, and both are easy to use. When us ing cream. pat it on. When us ing powder,

use a brush and then blend it around the edges so th ere ar e no lines showing. If you look at someone who has naturally beautiful s k in a nd needs no ma ke- up (exce pt cleanser and mois turizer) you will notice that they have a natura l balance of color throughout the face and not just on the cheekbones. By putt ing blush on just the cheekbones you get an artificial type of col­oring. Therefore, we " balance" the color throughout the face, use blusher on the cheekbones (remember to s tart just barely where the cheeks pucker to s mi le and take it along the bones to the hairline, enveloping the entire cheekbone but a voiding the eye area), just above the brow near the hair line, on the chin . on the ea rlobes, a nd in the hollows of the neck. TIlen blend well.

F a cia l m as k s a nd saunas: Avoid peel-off masks . Use masks that dry in 10 to 20 minutes . If you have dry skin use a IIlask every 10 days. If you have normal skin use a mask every week. If you have oily skin use a mask e very fi ve days . Th e re are some cJeansing masks on the market that you use every other day for bes t result s.

Saunas are great for th e skin. They open Ihe pores and soft en the pore covering to allow for better cleaning. If you have un­usually dry skin, cover the face with a laye r of mois turizer before taking a hot bath or shower. The steam will put back into the face mu ch of th e moistu re it has los t.

NOVEMBER, 1975

In comparing notes for Ihis ar~icle re­cently, Paltie and I found that we both are becoming far more critical than before in our es timates of the restaurants we visit. Perhaps we' re more callous; but we're more aware than ever of what makes a good meal rather than just an ordi nary one .

THE WHALER (635 Cass Street, Mon­terey), fits our "ordinary" category; ordi­nary in quality, lhat is. The price was mod­erate, around S18.00for two, with a bottle of the house wine. The deem- was perfectly pleasant, as was the waitress. As this is basically a s teak house, we missed a salad bar, though the salad which came with our meal was good. Thirteen offerings are on the menu , and the special for the eveni ng was halibut. We chose the plank steak for two, a two pound steak served just as we requested (medium rare), and it was good.

Dining Out:

THE CLASSMATE

ticularly origi nal. The cheese bread was de­licious. The portions were generous, and the food tasty :-. but not good enough to warrant another visit, especially as the meal came to about $20 for two, with a drink . before dinner, but no wine.

But we aren't always so negative. We'll happ ily return someday to THE FRANCO HOTEL on Main S treet in Cas troville to try the highly recommended Italian food. This ordi nary looking cafe. s itu ated a t the front of the hotel and next to the bar, sports early Radio City decor, unchanged since incep­tion. But the fried artichokes here are better than any we've tried anywhere, and are breaded Itali an style rather than just being dipped in a batter and fried . Our sand­wiches (salami) were ample, and best of all was the children's plate. As usual, we re­quested one order (i n this case hamburger)

PAGE 11

garden next door. The service is fast and effic ient, a nd the price, including beverage, came to about $10.00 for two. We' ll relUrn here some time.

But our happiest discovery this month has been the WHALING STATIO INN overlooking Cannery Row. We tried this place for lunch and will return for djnner in the near future . Here the service is very good - efficient but unhurrying - and the smal l dining area is most attractively deco­rated with plants and art ifacts, and the food excel1enl. Be sure to make reservations ahead . The canneUoni with accompanying salad was delicious, as was the chicken and avocado salad. The coffee was very fresh , and the cream puff(oh, expanding waistline ... ) was filled with ~hipped cream lightly flavored with rum; super! All the desserts sounded delicious, actually. The choice was difficult. All this, with wine, came to about $10.00. The dinner menu is more ex­pensive, of course, but looked very inviting, and we are told that the unlisted daily spe­cials often outnumber those on the menu itself. We'U let you know about dining there later.

The Peripatetic Palate We"ve received some calls recently ask­

ing the aClUal whereabouts of A BIT OF OLD RUSSIA in Carmel V.Uey ViUage. Going up the valley it 's on yl)ur left, right by Plaza Linda. A reminder. Mrs. Vernon only opens it for lunch and tea times. b y Pallie Butler and Sue Moody

But there was no potato. or anything else except bread; we had a skillet of mus­hrooms for 51.50 extra. So if you like that kind of a s teak place, fine. For us it lacked any real feeling of individuality. This re­s taurant will not take reservations, so be prepared to wait if you go on a weekend evening. It 's busy, so our feeling must not be those of the majority.

THE JOLLY ROGUE at the beginning of Pi er 1 in Monterey was another mild disap­pointment. The res taurant itself is very at­tractive, with a lovely view out over the marina. The sea food was good, with a large menu to choose from (meats and poultry also were available) , but it wasn't anything special. The company that owns this eating place also owns the other Jolly Rogue in San Simeon, Carmel's Butcher Shop, the Sar­dine Factory and China Row on Cannery Row. We highly recommend the excelle nt New England clam chowder, it really was delicious and very thick, definitely the best part of the meal. The service was good, relaxed and pleasant .

Another eatery with a superlative view is the ROCKY POINT RESTAURANT II miles south of Carmel on Highway 1. Built up high on rocks overlooking Big Sur, all the tables had window seats with, of course, spectacular views of the rocks and su ch. An evening meal with the sunset cou ld be overwhelming. But here again, although the view was ou tstanding. the food was only good. The menu was limited and not par-

with two plates. Normally this is wha t we get. But here the order came with the ham­burger neatly halved on two plates with two salads. This is the first time we've received this courtesy anywhere. and the children dine with us fajrly often. Our waitress was as pleasant as the food was good; a nice combination.

ZEPEDA'S RESTAURANT on 435 Pierce 51. in Monterey is hard to find but worth the efforl. It's the best of the Mexican restaurants we've tried so far (Consuelo's and Tia Maria being the others), but we're still looking for the really special one. The speciality, tostadas, was delicious, and the guacamole also was very good. Even the chips were super fresh and crisp. Family managed, this restaurant is pleasant, not fancy, and has a nice view into some body's

Also, a very pertinent comment to us has been about the prices at THE GENERAL STORE in Carmel. The food is undeniably excellent, and worth every bite, but with the menu a la carte, every bite adds up, too. So do those calories in the desserts - but they' re worth it.

So you see, we're not entirely negative this month, although for a while it seemed we might be. We're looking for some out of the way, unusual, and also some very inex­pensive places to try in the upcoming months. Any suggestions? Thanks! Cheers, and happy eati ng.

Think you· ... e got problems? Ever feel s h y, insecure or even just th e s lightes t bit neurotic? Well then. for a lift. you mlls t go see the Littl e Th ea tre ' s produ c tion of Woody Allen's hilarious comedy. "Play It Again Sam:' on November 14th. 15th. 21st and 22nd, at King 1-1 a ll . Aft er seeing how poor Allan F'elix. th e play's main characte r. has wrapped himselfup in his neuroses and insecuriti es. you'll think your troubles are inconsequ ential. For those of YOLI not famil­iar wilh the plOI, le t me te ll you something about thi s romantic three-ac t comed y.

Th e s tory centers around Allan Felix , a man comple tel y devoid of ego. He holds a fairly good job as a write r for an intellec tual film magazine, the ideal position for him s ince he happens to be a movie buff. Allan lives alone in a modes t apartment on Wes t 10th S tree t in New York Ci ty. His wife Nancy has recently le ft him for "greener pas tures. ,. Good fri ends and neighbors, Dick and Linda Christie, desperately try to comfort and console th e depressed Allan by introdu cing him to new girls. S ince Allan lacks confidence in himself he periodically "dreams" up his idol, Humphrey "Bogey" Bogart, seeking his advice on how to handle various romantic s ituations .

Direct ing the play will be Pe ter :\1agee, a young and very tale nt ed actor and direc tor from the Peninsula who is well acquaint ed with comed y as well as S h a kes pea rian drama.

SPOTLIGHT ON

VOLUNTEERS Featurin g

Nancy Cos te llo a nd Mary H a ltiner

By Mary Arnote Nancy Costello, lett, and Mary Haltiner right, examine current donations in Nancy's truck.

Living in the Mont erey area has put us in the heart of California's produ ce belt. Many or the people in Monterey county depend on agriculture for thei r living. Probably those whose lives are mos t closely connected with growing crops are th e farmworkers. Often, farm workers just barely make enough to pay for rent and food , a nd little money is left over to insure security and a bettcr life for them and their families.

Two wome n are doing all they can to help farm workers in the Monterey region. Mary Haltiner. whose husband George is a pro­fessor at the Naval Postgraduate School, is involved. Nancy Costello, whose husband James works for the Monterey Peninsula Herald. works with her , a nd together they make an excellent team. When I inter­viewed them, I couldn ' t write quickly enough to catch all the information they gave me. They were enthusias tic, and each would add to the story the other had told.

For five years, ancy and Mary have been involved in a community-wide project to collect and distribute household goods and clothing to fannwork er famili es in the area. The Catholic Chapel at the Pos t­graduate School has a depository for dona­tions, and also provides an important monthly stipend. Mary and Nancy use the stipend to purchase anything badly needed but not donated , from washing machines to particular articles of clothing. Mary said that last year, which was economically hard on many Americans, was a lean time for farm workers, so they spent mu ch of their stipend on food .

The Catholi c Chapel is a major source of donations, but there are others . One good exa mple is th e Childre ns ' Bootery. Whenever a customer buys new shoes, the Bootery helps by asking them to leave the old, worn, or out-grown shoes they have replaced. I ndividuals also help . Some do­nate most of their things for th e farm work­ers while others organize mini-drives on their own. Another good source is the bar­gain fair . Mary said sellers donate things that haven' t sold, and sometimes people buy things ju st to donate them. The project is wide-spread, too. From as far·away as Big Sur , a motel owner sent up 12 mattresses at her own expense.

Military families have helped greatly with donations through the Catholic Chapel, and certain individuals have gotten even more involved . Mary and Nancy remember Lar­kin Garcia, who was a student at the Pos t­graduate School. He did heavy hauling, worked at some of the big rummage sales, helped collect donations. and went a few times with Nancy to the farm workers' camps. They also praised Silvia White, whose husba nd Ray was at the Pos t­gradu ate SchooL Silvia, a third-generation Texan, spoke Spanish flu ently. Once a week for a year , she went with Nancy to the camps . She had great empathy with the farm workers and .established a sense of contac t and communication that increased understanding and friendship on both sides.

Mary is in charge of collection. She makes contac ts throughout the community and also works through the Catholi c Chapel. She marvelled that sometimes things which are badly needed are donated even before the call for them goes out. She praised th e donations that come in from the Catholic Chapel. " They' re such nice things, and always mended a nd freshly­washed and folded," she said.

Nancy does mos t of the distribution. She had a station wagon, but as the project grew, she bought a small truck. She makes fiv e trips a week, a nd covers an area from Castroville to King City. She drove 23,000 miles last year just getting to the camps. She visits most of the 35 family camps in the area, and when she arrives, her method is

simple. She drives to the middle of the camp , and whe n a group of moth ers and wives forms, she holds up articles to see if anvone needs th em .

Nancy and Mary know many of the farm­worker families personally and often have a particular girl or boy in mind when they are collec ting donations. They also help famili es with adv ice on welfare or medical proble ms. When they first s tarted, they thought their project was onJy temporary, but since then their volunteer work has grown s teadil y and they are involved with almos t every aspect of the farm workers' lives.

A big yearly affair is thei r Christmas drive. Around Thanksgivi ng, Mary and Nancy begin collecting s taples for Christ­mas dinners for the farmworker families. Two Sundays before Chris tmas, they col­lect new wrapped gifts for children through both Catholic and Protes tant chapels at the Postgraduate School. avy families pro­vide a lot of food, and many of the sections get together to provide gifts. They were so successful las t yea.- that they got food for dinners for 163 families and new wrapped gifts for 912 children. Nancy spent most of three days delivering th e donations .

When asked what the nicest thing about their work was, Mary and Nancy's a nswer was si mple and djrect. Their involvement helps the m see hun18n beings helping each other. sharing advice and goods even whe n their own needs have not been met. ancy explained how one mother, having received

I purposely did not use the term "campi ng" due to thefaet that many of us are not campers in that sense of the word. These recipes, for the most part, can be utilized by th e backyard barbecue crowd, picnic buffs, and boaters, as well. Eat and enjoy!

BREAKFAST (1) When preparing scrambl ed eggs,

allow 1 to 2 eggs per person, 1 T . milk per egg, salt and pepper to tas te, and put con­tents into a jar or plastic container and shake until frothy, Pour into buttered skil­let.

(2) Bring pancake batter from home al­ready mixed if you will be able to store it in a cool place and plan to use it within 24 hours. Prepackaged pancake mix which only needs water added is a great time saver. For campers, add fresh picked berries to the batter.

NOVEMBER, 1975

As I begin this month's column , I must explain at the ou tset lhall am not a camper. The last time I went camping was when I was a Girl Scout, about a hundred and fifty years ago. One of my most recent excuses for avoiding the pioneer experience has been the conspicuous presence in our fam­ily of two small boys with enormous poten­tial for disruption of almost any planned activi ty. However, after my conversations with other mothers about camping with children , I have begu n 10 reassess my posi­tion on the subjec t. It is sounding more and more to me as if camping may indeed be one good answer to th e problem of finding an enjoyable all-family activity.

What about camping with children? I posed this question to several of my friends and acquaintances , and the unanimous answer was, "It 's great!" Children seem to be very enthusiastic campers. Indeed , some of the very things which turn some adults off the idea are those that interest children the most. It is new, different, and out-of-doors. There are not so many bound­aries and not so many restrictions about what can or can not be touched, ex­perimented with , or explored. It is all right to be loud (in some cases), and it doesn't matter if you get dirty. There are bugs and snails and frogs and the possibility of big­ger, more interes ting wildlife to chase. All th e mothers I spoke with agreed there is no need to import toys beyond those needed to occupy children in the car . Being on the loose in the outdoors provides endless op­portunities for young explorers.

What about the times you want to keep them rounded up? And what about manag­ing young children while the rest of thefam­ily participates in camping-related ac­tivities such as hiking, biking, or nature exploring? The answer to these quesuons seems to be th at not-so-modern miracle, the backpack. While older childre n can walk along, the younger ones can observe con­te nt ed ly a nd safely from th ei r vantage points on Mommy's or Daddy's back.

Does camping with childre n require a lot of specialized e(luipmenl? Aside from the recommended backpack, no. S mall sized

s leeping bags are nice, but not necessary. Most of the people I spoke with bed their you ng children down in piles of blankets, some over and some under their bodies. With a warm blanket s leeper , this is usually all that is needed.

What abou t nighttime wanderers like mine? Is there any danger of th em waking up at night and getting out of a tent? Appar­ently not much. If my friends' children are typical, being outside all day makes them sleep better and longer at night than they usually do at home. Besides, in the rela­tively "cozy" confines of the normal tent , it would be difficult for a child to get too far from his sleeping place without stumbling over someone else.

Another characteristic of open-air living is that it increases the appetite. Even finicky eaters polish off enormous quan­tities of foods they wouldn't touch at home. And you don't have 10 worry about their table manners in public dining rooms. Can­ned and dehydrated foods are easiest to carry and keep on the trail, so it is no prob­lem to include jars of baby food in the inven­tory. Even the bottle-fed baby presents no insurmountable obstacle, with prepared formulas ava ilable in one-serving size cans. As long as you can boil water, you can sterilize bottles, and disposable nl:'rsers can be used where water is not readily availa­ble.

Toileting of infants and toddlers presents anoth er problem, bu t most of the people I surveyed opt for Pampers even when there

PAGE 15

are not disposal facilities immediately av­ailable. Some carry covered garbage pails with them and some take large plastic gar­bage bags especially for used Pampers that are then disposed of in the nearest recepta­cle. If space allows, a portable pouy seat, even for a child who's outgrown it at home, can be a help.

One thing you have to get used to when camping is dirt. It is a way of life and there is no way arou nd it. Bathing can pose a par­ti cular problem when children are not of the age to use showers, or when you camp in an undeveloped area without running water. On these occasions my friends tell me you just have to live with it. Some carry plastic tubs and some just stock up on huge quan­tities of "Tidy-Ups" to remove the most blatant surface soil, in both cases postpon­ing serious scrubbing til the return home. One virtue of laking "Tidy-Ups" pointed out to me is that it cuts the necessity of packing many towels and washcloths.

In all the dirt, what do you do with a young baby not yet in the upright stage? For this purpose, portable playpens, walkers and jumpseals are ideal, though too bulky for long treks. Some backpacks also con­vert to infant seats.

One tip passed along to me by two mothers is never to bring good clothes. If you are in an undeveloped area, chances are no one will see you, and you should realize that whatever you take is likely to be pretty well rubbed out by your 'children's activities.

All my questions were answered satisfac­torily and convincingly. Also on the plus side for camping with children of course is the informality of the whole affair, tailor­made for youngsters. It is easier to make unscheduled stops. either to accommodate a tired rider or to visit an unanticipated attraction. Once camped, you are not bound by all the social conventions of hotels. Then there is the price. Hotel rooms for 3 or more people can be expensive, while camping in developed areas usually means $4-5 a night at the most.

With no schedules to keep, no hotel rules to heed. no fancy clothes to keep clean, and the whole outdoors to roam and explore. camping holds the promise of an exci ting adventure for the whole family, and for none more than the childre n.

UNSEEN DANGER

Camping poses s pecial probl e ms for keeping food safe to eat. Ge tling stores to th e ca mpsite is one thing, and keeping food prepared th ere fr esh and palata ble during treks to and from th e s ite is another. On a wa rm day a nd a long hike , food that s larted out chilled can become extremely warm . Then, if you wait a n hour or two 10 serve iI, there"s a n even grea ter chance for harmful bacteria 10 grow and more chance of food­borne illness. With several s imple precau­tions, you can go a long way toward out­maneuvering food poisoning.

Always carry pe ri sha bl e foods in well-in­sulated coolers. Two ice ches ts make good sense . Into one ches t put anything that can be solidly frozen. I nto the other ches t, with ice, go more fragile vegeta bles, eggs and milk. The ches t without ice will be the cold­es t, a nd if closely packed, will be quite cold for up to a week, even longer if ice is added lat er as food is re moved. AJways be sure to close ice ches t lids qui ckJ y and tightly aft er removing a nything.

If limited to one ice ches t, pack frozen foods in a clus ter in the center, and put peri shable ite ms around th e frozen ones . Use lots of ice. Th e top of the cooler a nd the corners should be used for things like fruit.

On hot days. carry ice ches ts in th e car rather tha n th e trunk. They will s tay cooler

that way. At the sit e, s tore th e ches ts in the shade and don't ope n th em unnecessarily. Put left overs back in the cooler as soon as poss ible and surround them with additional ice if necessary.

Don' t ta ke hot foods on "picnic" expedi­tions unless you have a well-insulated con­tainer a nd pla n to eat within an hour.

Pre-chill or pre-warm vacuum bottles and jugs by rinsing with ice cold or boiling hot wa ter before fillin g with food.

A VOLCANO IN CALIFORNIA?

Did you know there was a volcano only a short di s tance from Mont erey? It is known as Pinnacl es National Monument , loca ted 35 miles south of Hollister on State Route 25. Looking at a map , one might think it shorter 10 drop down 101 to Soledad and

enter the west gate on Route 146. There is only one problem - the road does not cross through the park 10 the campsites on th e eas t side.

Avid campers will want to enter the park on the eas t side. Organized groups mus t mak e reservations in advance. Campsites for trailer a nd l ent camping are available. Each has a fireplace and table with water and comfort s tations accessible. There are no utilit y hookups for self-contai ned unit s. Th e neares t s tore is 23 miles away, so be su re to pack enough to cover the time you will be camping. While you a re at it, buy fu el for cooking and campfi res because wood ga th eri ng and cutting is against park rules. The area is ex tremely dry in the summer months a nd ca mpe rs should prac­ti ce sound fire prevention techniqu es. Pets are permitted, provided they are kept on a leash. They are not a llowed on the tra il s . in the buildings, or in areas where groups of people cus tomaril y ga ther.

Your first s top should be a t the visitor cent er, which is about two miles from the eas t e ntrance. It contains a small mu seum , and has pos t cards and color slides availa­

. hie, as well as nature checkli sts. A park naturalis t is on duty to int erpret the geologi-cal 8Qd other natural fealUres of th e monu­ment. Evening talks are presented on sum­Iller weekends.

By Pal Vin es

oUling with a picnic and short hike. the west s ide provides plenty of e njoyment. Th ere are picnic tables with grill s, running water, a comfort s tation, hiking trails, and a ranger pos t.

My family had a marvelous day hiking, exploring the rock formation s and caves. We s potted a doe out with her fawns in the early evening. watched the hawks c ircling overhead. found beautifully marked little lizards scrambling away as they felt our ap­proach, and even had lunch with a chubby little ground squirrel who was a mas ter Illoocher. Judging from his size, I would say he had invit ed himself to many family pic­IlI CS.

The Pinnacles is a natu ral wonder of ma­jes ti c beauty. P erhaps you will be more im­pressed after reading some of th e informa­tion from th e folder I obtained at the ranger station.

Th e last remnants of an ancient volcano, carv e d in to spec tacu lar pinnacles and sp ires by rain , wind, hea t, and frost, rise here against the sky. Th is cluster of jagged peaks contrasts s trikingly with the s mooth surrounding countryside.

Mantling the rugged slopes is a dense, brushy plant cover known as chaparral. which thri ves in the hot. dry summers and sparse rainfall that characterize this part of California. It is the only example of Coast Range chaparral in the Na tional Park Sys­tem and is the habitat for an interes ting association of plants and animals.

A unique gift - a fur blanket.

Hike th e man y trails to gel a closer look at the vegetation, caves, canyons, and the pinnacles. Th e monument can be e njoyed at any season, but one of the mos t pleasant times is spring. when the hills are covered with new vegetation and scattered with a multitude of colorful wildflowers. In sum­mer, grassy s lopes turn golden brown under daytime temperatures that reach 100 de­grees F. or more.

The roc ks eas t of the fault remain where they were form ed and may be seen along Calif. 138 between Gorman and Lancaster . Because of rliffer­ent geographic loca tions . th ese rocks of common origin have different eros ional pat­terns. Th e s tationary southern rocks are buri ed und e r s moothl y rounded hill s, wh ereas those to the north have been ex­posed and heavily eroded to form a jagged skyline of pinnacl ed rocks.

In the monume nt are two places where wa ter has widened la rge cracks in th e rocks and loosened huge boulders, which have moved downslope and become wedged be­tween canyon walls to form talu s caves or covered canyons.

These geologic changes are usually con­tinu ous. but very s low. TIl ey are not oft en pe rceptibl e during a human life tim e . Someday. as the rift widens, California may have a new shoreline, with the pinnacles decorating the skyUne of a ne w offshore is land . Geologists say this is possible, but it will probably take a bout 6 million yea rs.

The Chaparral Community Chaparral is a shrub communit y specially

adapt ed to a light annual rainfall of about 15 in ches. mos tly during wint er and early spring, foUowed by a long, hot, dry summer a nd autumn. These shrubs have many of the water-saving characteris ti cs of desert vege tat ion and oft en grow to a large size. simulating trees in shape and form. Thus. chapa rral is sometim es referred to as a pygmy fores t. At PinnacJes it is composed c hi en y of grease wood (chamisel. mixed with s maller amounts of manzanita , bu ck­brush (ceanothu s), and holly leaf che rry .

Suppression of natural wildfire by man in this century h"as crealed an old and dense growth of chaparral that yearly becomes more inadequate as browse and cover for a nimals adapted to the chaparral habitat.

Chaparral holds the soil on s teep hillsides a nd the foliage provides vital food and s hel­te r for wildlife. Many animals make their homes in this plant community. They are often small a nd dull-colored, matching the dwarf forest. Much in evidence during the breeding season, animals become more re­tiring as the vegetation dries in late sum· mer.

Black-tailed deer are seen often. whereas th e grayfox and bobcat, also quite common, are noc turnal and secretive. Rabbits a nd rodents are common and provide food for some of the larger predators. Several species of bats patrol eveni ng skies in search of insects. The more frequently seen birds include the acorn woodpecker, brown towhee, California quail, and turkey vul­ture.

One last note - please don't plan to add to your rock or wildflower collections . Gathering specimens is prohibited. The park is a beautiful place to view and ap­preciate but it wouldn't be for long if everyone took samples home in his back pocket.

A Word to the Wise

To insure a happy, healthy holiday for everyone, the prudent camper will keep in mind some safety tips such as the following:

1. When preparing for a camping outing, do · not forget your first-aid kit. To be well prepared, you should include at least the following items: an ti septic ointment, burn ointment, adhesive bandages, adhesive tape, gauze bandages, scissors, splint tweezers, aspirin, soda mint tablets, laxa­tive, snakebite kit, bee and wasp sting kit, 'and a good first aid handbook. The Red Cross First Aid Handbook is obtainable for about SI from most local Red Cross Cen­ters.

2. Never use charcoal inside tents or cempers. (Every year too many campers succumb to asphysiation as a result of care­less charcoal use.)

3. Follow suggestions about safe food handling found on page 16.

4. Be prepared for changeable weather conditions . State or Highway patrolmen usually can adv ise about local weather con­ditions or predicted weather dangers .

5. Be able to recognize poison oak and STA Y CLEAR of it. If you should come in contac t with poison oak, scrub infected area immediately with hot soapy water.

6. Bring plenty of flashlights, at least one for each member of the family, and an ade­quate supply of batteries.

7. On expeditions from the camp site, use

the buddy system, particularly with chil­dren close in age, and always let a neighbor kn'ow where you are heading. Carry with you a small quantity of quick energy food. water and matches in a moisture-proof con­tainer. Carry a whistle .

8. If any member of the party becomes lost, particularly a child, STAY WHERE YOU ARE. If possible, set a series of beacon fires with damp leaves 10 provide smoke signals. (Do not worry about food. A normal human being can survive three weeks without food.)

9. Enjoy local wildlife at a distance. Never try to hand feed animals or tease them.

10. Store food in the trunk of your car rather than in your tent, so as not !o attract the attention of midnight-snacking bears or raccoons. (Skunks a lso like to invite them­selves to unscheduled dinner.)

11. If you plan to hike, wear long, heavy pants , and high-top boots if possible. to avoid scratches from heavy underbrush.

12. Snakes generally try to avoid humans, but in areas where they are numerous , cer­tain precautions should be taken. For ex­ample, never place your hand into a crevice wi~hout checking it first, and be careful about stepping over logs or boulders before ascertaining whether the other side is al­ready occupied.

IN YOSEMITE

Yosemite National Park is 1,200 square miles of the Sierra Nevada range. Driving Lime from San Francisco is about five hours; a little longer from Los Angeles. From the north, take Highway 99 to Merced; then Highway 140 into Yosemite Valley. From the south , Highway 41 from Fresno ent ers the Park near Wawona and sweeps down to the Valley. TIlis entrance takes you near the Mariposa Grove of giant Sequoias. The new Tioga Pass from Lee Vining (on Highway 395) open from lal e May till the first snows, is an easy drive through a panorama of gra­nite peaks. Another interesting rout e , though slower, is over the Big Oak Flat Road (Highway 120 from Manteca.)

Confessions of a Non-Camper

By Janet Schwenk e

The call of the wild - " return to the earth! Come wander unfettered and free! " Enticingly summons ma n, woman and child, Bu I never has beckoned to me .

They tell me it's natural, healthy and fun ; And I won' t sa y I don' t espouse Their theories; it's jus t that I' m happier When my toilet is in the house.

I like a bathtub, a qu een-s ized bed, A dishwasher , table a nd chai rs . I like walls and windows and floors a nd doors; And I've never been partial to bears.

I' m an orderly person. I don't care for d irt. And I'm deathly afraid of snakes. Bugs, poison ivy and wet sleeping bags ... It' s just not worth the trouble it takes.

So when fri ends and relations ta ke off for the wilds, Or wherever it is that they roam, I wish them all well and say, "gee, wish we could," But I'm happy I'm s taying a t home!

Now MY family's itching to bu y a tent. So I say, " if you must , very well. Go camping. have fun , and drop me a line At the Holiday Inn Motel! "

BIG SUR A CAMPER'S DELIGHT

By Mary Mitc h eU

Picture yourself sitting in the cool shade of towering redwoods. See and h'ear the rushing of a river tumbling over stones, eager to reach its destination. Close your eyes and listen to the birds carrying on a conversation all their own. Enjoy nature. Does all this sound too good to be true? Well, prepare yourself for a big surprise. All this and much more is a mere 30 miles south of Monterey. Once you've been to Big Sur, you ' ll want to go back again. Even the road leading south is a feast for the eyes. Gor­geous rolling hills on one side and the ocean with waves rushing to shore on the other follow you a1most to your destination.

Since we got our trailer two years ago, my husband Larry and I have been eager to find peaceful secluded campsites where we could spend pleasant weekends with Paul, our two year old son, and Lady, our four year old Pekapoo. Big Sur is our answer for Central California. We "discovered" it quite by accident while taking a Sunday afternoon "let's go find a peaceful secluded campsite" drive and immediately decided to give it a try the foUowing weekend.

There are four established campgrounds in the area and since aU are located on Highway One, they are very easy to find. The Big Sur Campground is situated along the Big Sur River in a grove of redwoods. There are 87 sites - each is equipped with its own wood burnin~ stove (wood is for sale or you may bring your own) and a picnic table. Fresh water faucets are located within 25 feet of each site. Thirty-five sites are equipped with electric and water hook­ups for a 50 yent fee. To keep the children occupied and happy all day are a play area, the good old swimming hole, fishing in the river, and a 2600 square foot cement slab for roUer skating and playing games on. The rateS; are $4.50 for two people, 50 cents for each additional adult and 25 cents for each child from six to 16 (there is no charge for children under six or for pets). Reservations are recommended along with a deposit for at least one night. Despite the many ac­tivities offered and the pretty surrounding area, it seemed to be quite crowded, sites being a bit too close together; however, that was during the peak summer season and I feel certain it is less crowded now.

Riverside Campground. also along the Big Sur River, has 50 campsites . For the trailer camper, sites offer elec tric a nd water hook-ups for a $1.00 fee. Riverside offers many activities such as swimmi ng, hiking, fishi ng, and a safe, well-equipped play­ground for the li ttle ones. Th~ fee is $5.00 a night for two people, 50 cents for each addi­tional adult, 25 cents for each addi tional child; and SO cents for each dog. Cabins and tents are available - prices vary'depending on what you prefer. Reservations must be made by mail for no less than two days and a deposit for one day is required. Although it is a very nice campground. we felt it, too, was a bit cramped . The address is Riverside Campground and Cabins; P.O. Box 3, Big Sur, Californi ~ .· 93920. The telephone number is (408) 667-2414.

The Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park has a number of areas designated for camping and all are lovely. Each site has a table, stove, and cupboard; water faucets are close by. Some campsites can accommo­date trailers up to 24 feet in length though there are no hook-ups . Days can be spent tracing the history of the early inhabi tants of the area, hiking (keep a lookout for the creatures that make the State Park their home, such as black-taiJed deer, raccoons, and opposums. to mention a few) , fishing and wading in the river . The charge is $3.00 a night for up to eight people per site with two vehicles (for example, a car and trailer - there is a charge for additional vehicles). Pets are welcome, however, dogs over s ix months of age must have proof of a recent rabies vaccination before they will be ad­mitted. Reservations are strongly recom­mended and should be made at least a week

Fernwood, our favorite spot, is truly a I camper's dream. It also is on the Big Sur River and has 60 well-spaced sites. some equipped with hook-ups for a 50 cent fee.

Paul got happily dirty every day (8 sure sign of true fun - the dirtier the better) and as long as Lady was sitting on a lawn clIair. she liked it too (unlike Paul, she's a sissy), In the even­ing it got chilly enough to have a fire (you can buy a substantial amount of oak for $1. 75 or bring yOU f own) and listen to peace and quiet. It was a wonderful weekend and we look forward to many more during our stay in Monterey. For up to four people per si te, the fee is $5.00 and 50 cents for pets. Duri ng the summer months, reservations are almost a necessi ty, however, a depos it is not required . Writ e Fernwood, Big' Sur, California 93920, or call (400) 667-2422.

Before you leave home. be sure you have a f uU tank of gas and enough food to last for the length of your stay. Although there are a few gas stations a nd general stores, prices are very high.

So give· Big Sur a try. Choose any campground - they're aU nice. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.
