The addition consists of a large new dining room, kitchen and store rooms. It covers a large part of the former garage, parking area and gardens east of the present dining and lounge rooms and is spacious enough that it is expected that the 550 reservations now on file for New Years Eve will be comfortably taken care of. The dancing floor will be about a foot lower than the dining floor which encircles it.

Large full length windows admit the sunlight and a glorious view of beautiful Monterey bay. The walls will be covered by murals with a Mexican motif. They are now being painted by Fred Deveret of San Francisco, who also did the clever and well executed murals showing scenes of the life of penguins, which interest and amuse all who visit the Rio del Mar Beach club. The rapid construction of this addition to Club Rio del Mar has been aided by the good weather. The outside walls have had the rough coat of stucco and the finish coat will be applied as soon as the weather permits.

The present dining room will return to its use as a lounge, for which it was originally built, giving room for the card players and onlookers to lounge and enjoy the club rooms away from the dancers and diners. The present rapid growth of the Rio del Mar Country club is a constant surprise to all whose visits are a few weeks apart. Both permanent and week homes are being started and completed so constantly that a new community is growing like a bed of mushrooms. The homes are almost all of white stucco with tile roofs. Many are of the new moderne type, especially those along the beach drive.

As almost all of the lots along the beach drive have been sold in the past year, it is expected that this section will be built up completely within the next few months. Plans for the near future include the extension of the present beach drive to a point below the Bush ranch, continuing up the gulch and connecting with a road through the golf course. A life raft will be established in the surf in front of the beach club and a life guard will be constantly on duty, although government statistics show that this section of the beach on Monterey bay is one of the two safest beaches on the Pacific coast. There has never been a drowning in the surf on any beach adjacent to Aptos. Further plans include a shallow pool for kiddies wading and an indoor freshwater pool for adults.

While development of Rio del Mar Country club was slowed up during the depression, there was only one period of approximately a month when no construction was in progress on the property. Many new homes were built along the upper drive of Deer Park slope and can only be seen by driving along this road. Most of the new construction this year has been in the section between the railway tracks and the palisades, although a few scattered homes dot the edges of the golf course. The building of the beach club at the end of the beach drive stimulated construction along that drive and the ever growing popularity of the beautiful beach club, which is said to be unsurpassed for harmony of design and furnishing and quality of construction anywhere in the United States, will keep this an ever popular section of the Rio del Mar Country club property.

A brought series of 12 history-making daily stories, develop- of every which this is the first, summarizes these developments--brings you concisely story of 1936. By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE WASHINGTON (AP)-Never before was there a political year like 1936.

To Franklin D. Roosevelt Democrats, it brought their third unparalleled election victory, including the 1934 congressional sweep within five years, as every state but Maine and Vermont went to the New Deal in November. To long-dominant Republicans it spelled an all-time low in political power. Unprecedented was the Democratic sweep on congress as well as the Presidency. Never--not even in the Republican industrialists' "full dinner pail" campaigns against William Jennings Bryan and his free silverites was business reputedly more strongly opposed to a major party's Presidential nominee.

And never was there such a post-election outpouring of wages and dividends amid extraordinary gestures of amity between business and government. Opposition Marked Never before had a major party's former choice for the White House come out openly and vigorously in support of its rivals' leader, as did Alfred E. Smith for Alfred M. Landon. And his defection from Roosevelt was accompanied by that of another former Democratic Presidential nominee, John W.

Davis. Never had an administration seeking the electorate's approval of its actions spent so much ernment money for relief of the "underprivileged" and for priming the business pump. Nor had an administration ever gone to bat with such a record of supreme court invalidation of its major legislative measures. The court's killing of NRA and AAA and the widespread criticism of spending and "interference with private business" had led many to believe the G. O.

P. could come back. But the tradition that a rising tide of prosperity is a prime asset to the party in power was SOCIAL SECURITY ACT ACCOUNT NUMBER 000-00 0000 HAS 187 A ISHED FOR JOHN JAMES DoE clot 12-1-36 DATE OF SIGNATURE SOCIAL SECURITYCash For Old Age CONCHA DEL MAR' SLOWLY VANISHING "Concha Del Mar," on Blackburn terrace, is fast disappearing. This home, erected for Mrs. J.

R. Jarboe, once one of the best known San Francisco families, is being razed and will soon be replaced by an apartment house. The tall outside brick chimney has been taken down, the windows are out and the outside walls are being removed. Mrs. Jarboe and her daughter, Mrs.

Kate Jarboe Bull. were writers for magazines and published a number of books. The son, Paul Jarboe, was a practicing attorney. Close by are the fossil remains of a whale in the sandstone under the wall bordering the Blackburn terrace above the Pacific avenue sidewalk. Near this formation some of the rock is giving way, but thus far no damage has been done to the fossil remains.

The bones are discernible and show where the sea was millions of years ago. Department of agriculture officials say the soybean is shown by ancient Chinese literature to have been cultivated extensively as food for centuries before written records were kept. FROSTING For Your Comics Grim indeed is the comics page without a "pretty girl" strip. "Oh, Diana" exudes the frivolity of youth; it sparkles with pretty young ladies, love-lorn college boys, flip dialog and funny gags. It's a refreshing tonic for comics readers that lean to the sterner side of life.

"Oh, Diana!" By Don Flowers Daily on the Sentinel Comics page TAXPAYERS OF COUNTY MADE FINE SHOWING Taxes paid on the first installment of taxes, that became delinquent December 5, totaled $642,152.52, County Tax Collector J.

Dr. John Harrington Returns From Journey To Many Notable Points Dr. John T. Harrington has recently returned from an extensive tour of the United States. The first observation of the traveler was the change in trains of today.

They are now streamlined. air conditioned, brighter in color, lighter in weight and made of stainless steel. Due to bus competition, fares are lower and the surtax has been removed from Pullman travel. Dr. Harrington's first stop was at Portland and then Seattle for several days.

From there he went to Omaha for a brief stay, then to Des Moines and to the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minnesota. There he found one of the outstanding medical institutions of the country. On October 12, the morning he arrived at the clinic, there was a registration of 600 patients. After visiting the various hospitals he went to Chicago. Rochester has a population of 430.

It has ten hospitals and sanitariums. Due to many visitors, there are 34 hotels. The Mayo clinic is the outgrowth of a tornado, August 21, 1883, which caused the death of 22 persons in Rochester and the injury of several hundred. Lack of hospital facilities increased the ensuing distress and prompted the erection of a hospital by the Sisters of Saint Francis, who had 1 founded a convent in Rochester six years previously. The hospital was opened 1889 with a nursing staff of five sisters.

Dr. W. W. and his two sons, Drs. W.

J. and Chas. H. Mayo constituted the medical and executive staff. From this beginning the clinic now has a BUICK MAKES AN ALL TIME HIGH IN DELIVERIES FLINT, Dec.

retail deliveries of Buick motor cars during November, totaling 19,284 cars, established an all time high for the month and marked a new peak for 1936, W. F. Hufstader, general sales manager, announced today. The month deliveries compared with a previous high in November, 1926, when 14,880 Buick cars were delivered to retail customers in the United States. It was the first time in the current phase of Buick's expanding operations that the peak volume of more than 10 years was surpassed.

The figure compares with 18,784 cars delivered in April, the previous! high month this year, and was a of 5965 units or 44.7 per cent over the corresponding month a year Mr. Hufstader said. Steadily increasing sales resulted in 7259 deliveries during the last 10 days of the month against 6977 in the second 10 days and 5048 during the first 10 day period. The outstanding November volume, Mr. Hufstader said, reflected the ability of the factory to make deliveries of cars in all sections of the country against a substantial bank of unfilled retail orders piled up since the 1937 models were announced in October.

In this connection, it was announced Buick December production schedules had been boosted another two thousand cars. This brings total Buick production for the last quarter of 1936 at 73,094 as against 50,339 in the last 1935 quarter, a gain of 45 per cent. The schedule covers both export and domestic requirements and this year includes production of Buick cars in the General Motors plant in Los Angeles, placed in operation with the advent of the 1937 models. Christmas Trees And Programs In 2 Local Churches Christmas trees, with programs and the usual distribution of gifts will be held in the First Methodist church on Church street and also at the East Side Methodist church on Soquel avenue.

M. SATURDAY Not since slavery was an issue had a cleric become so conspicuous in a Presidential contest.

Bishop Cannon had voiced vigorous opposition to Smith in 1928, but his prohibition pleading was on a limited scale compared with Father Coughlin's dramatic economic preachments. Unique, too, was the meeting of the two leading Presidential candidates in a conference on the drought. Despite this preliminary handshake, no political prophet foresaw such an "era of good ing" between business and government as followed the Roosevelt triumph. The dividend and wage deluge of November and December has been ascribed in part by some economists to taxation of corporations' undistributed profits, but many companies' executives announced that bonus and wage disbursements were for the purpose of sharing prosperity with workers and increasing purchasing power. Security Plan Begins Simultaneously, a social security plan called a "supreme achievement" Roosevelt, branded a hoax by his campaign foes has been launched with registration of millions of workers.

Beginning January 1, one per cent will be deducted from their pay envelopes and employers will pay the same amount toward benefits to be returned to employes after they are 65. War threats abroad continued throughout the campaign and, once it was over, Roosevelt sped to South America on a good neighbor trip in the interest of peace. Eclipsed for the time being by the Roosevelt ascendancy were such minority groups as the Townsend Old -Age Pension organization and Father Coughlin's National Union for Social Justice. But the shadow of the supreme court still hung over momentous New Deal measures. And Republicans sow in 000 votes they had polled the refutation of suggestions that their party was doomed.
