McConnell BRIDGING THE GENERATION It is a long time since we were seeing Nellie home from Aunt Dinah's quilting parties So it is a sign of the changing times that Pasadena's First tional Church has offered the Foothill Free Clinic the use of its quilting room for a dental CASUAL No sooner had we got home from a transcontinental trip by camper than the urge to take off again struck me so I thought it would be nice to take Motorhome for a weekend at the beach somewhere Planning a overnight camping at a state beach is a computerized process I went to the nearest office way Bullocks Seirs have them and filled out a my length the ber bfs people proposed for the visit and listing first and second choices of state beaches and first and second choices for dates of arrival The the mation keyboard and got anr swers for me State Beach and South Carlsbad State Beach were full for the weekends I had chosen the weekend before Labor Day and the weekend after as second choice i listed some more and she repeated the process El San and San all were full for both weekends But there was a glimmer of hope Just possibly the machine had San by Cardiff near San Diego be able to a camper for Saturday Sept 11 but not 10th AND Saturday Would for stand at San I would and did she punched out the request for San the machine spat out a ticket for that night I paid the a night camp fee and the reservation charge and left happily ticket in hand i Under the old system you would have driven a hundred milns or so to the park of your first choice found it full driven found it fill driven to a third taken a number and gone on standby waiting for your at a space if someone checked out in early afternoon The new system is hardly a casual approach to a camping but for it gives you the certainty of having a place to camp and lets you take your about getting there knowing you don't have to beat same en bird to a space On the mail pile is a nice letter from Neile McCullough North Allen Avenue You don't know me from Mother Eve and I sometimes feel that I belong to her Since I am old to enjoy vicariously more than in reality a vacation such as you and your family have recently had I wish to thank you for making it vivid to those of us who read your col- umn I don't know that thing about being too old to enjoy a vacation in reality My mother shared part of our camping vacation with us One night eh route she favored stopping rather than driving through despite the fact we had sleeping accommodations only for my wife and me I'll sleep on the she said the time when I was a girl in Montana I slept on the ground with only my saddle for a pillow I told her wo had no saddle along So after some urging she slept in the bed and we drove nevertheless return leg of her trip Mother was driven back to Nebraska in a Continental She told yone the ride didn't compare to that in our er This the report that Ford earnings were up PCC Board Approves Budget Staff Writer The
