Population talk in San Joaquin valley muses on personal space
A columnist notes the looming population explosion and asks for a personal square foot in the San Joaquin valley. He laments windfall views from air trips to Washington state, mocks infield observers who distract editors, and praises newspaper staff for improved layout and printing quality. He mentions Khrushchev’s tax claim and critiques radio TV analysts while thanking the Kenneth G. Kelley family for grapes and ends with a child’s quip about housekeeping.
