Francis and of Junipero Ser-ta, his disciple, who first preached the gcspel on tnese snores Only by keeping these fires burning can our spiritual heritage be kept up. A Precious Heritage' Such celebrations as this help us to continue the precious heritage handed down to us from the past. The men who made California were the nun who were not only willing to give what they had, but who gave themselves as well. The heads of our government can be no better than the people, so in these trying times, let us all give our best in an effort to march forward to better days in California, as the padres marched in their conquest of the desert.

Kelly, the second speaker, asserted: You cf this section of California, have something to be proud of in these old missions. As I sat today and listened to Father Augustine deliver cne of the finest sermons I ever heard, I had a wish that it could be preached in every church in California Catholic and Frotestant alike because cf the things he said wc all must get back to if we are to make this country what it should be. The speaker complimented The Santa Maria Times on its elfort to keep alive the traditions of early California, and cn its prominent use of the sketches of the Old Missions which he has recently to Mission He revealed that the state had appropriated $150,000 for construction cf a road from the main state highway north of Salinas to Mission San Juan Bautista, because cf its importance in the history of the state and a desire to make it readily available to tourists and state residents. Howard Whipple, president of the California Bankers' association, told of a visit to the town of Assizi, on file Island of Majorca, home of Fr. Serra.

Mott paid a tribute to Father who, he said, had been offered a palace by a king, but preferred the wilderness of California, where he could carry the spiritual message to the heathen, dedicating his life to his fellow man, instead of to a life of ease at court. He spoke of the beginning of all fiestas and celebrations in early California days with mass in the mission and said the Sisquoc celebration was typical of early California, when man thought more of his soul than of his wealth end reverence was a trait of every character. Days of Reverence "I've never heard the Lords prayer pung' with more reverence or I mors beautifully than in this little chapel today, he declared. "It recalled the days cf reverence for holy things, when in childhood I participated in the early California fiestas; when the people were true to the cross that Junipero Serra planted here to illuminate the future for the barbarians. Father Serra brought law and order and the love of mankind to California, and these modern Franciscans like Father Augustine and his brothers here with us today, continue to reflect his spark of divinity, inflamed bv the love of their fellow man.

They minister to cur spiritual needs, looking to the immortality of our souls, that live on forever. They have foresworn all the pleasures of life in their unselfish devotion to humanity. Their work and the work cf ethers like them will do if ore than any other thing to destroy the ogre of Communism that threatens us, end the chief spectre of Communism is its attempt to destroy the love for God. Freedom of Thought As long as America continues to stand for freedom of conscience and encourages the zeal to minister to God, it will fulfill its trie mission cn earth, that of permitting every man to worship his God as he wishes.

Rocsevelt-Farley pressure and enthusiastic Northern and Western support are expected to compel ths South to relinquish the rule under which it long has been tie to exercise a veto power cn Democratic nominations.

The convention probably will vote to adopt simple majority rule. Good news for New Dealers arrived from W.sconsin, wfhere the La Fciiette brothers were reported paign to re-elect Roosevelt, gave zest to the pre-convention meeting cf the National committee today.

ED Smythe Tells Farmers How, And How Much, Under New Federal Law The total payments farmer cjTn earn for soil-building practicesJ? 1936 under the agricultural cccf' vaticn program is limited by ho ameunt cf the soil-building allowance for Lis farm, Farm Advisor E.

F. Smyth, said today. This soil -building allowance will be determined by the number of acres the farmer has in soil-ccn-serving crops in 1936, including, areas, acres on which a soilbuilding practice has been substituted for a sail-conserving crcp. This soil-building allowance is determined by multiplying the tctal number of acres in soil-conserving ci ops oi uses on ine farm by $1. For example, a farm with 40 acres in cover crops and 10 acres in alfalfa would have a soil-building al lowance of $50.

This $50 is the most the farmer could earn for soil-building practices. He would receive whatever he earned fer soil-building, at the established rates, up to that amount. If, this year, on this particular farm, the farmer had planted tne 40 acres of cover crops, for which the soil-building rate was $2 r.n acre, the total amount of his soil-building practices would be However, as his allowance was only $50 he could not receive more than $50 for the soil-building payment. If the rate were $1 an acre tor cover crop, he would earn $40; h3 could ieceive $40, and, in addition, could arn $10 for seme other approved scil-building practice. The important point to remember, Smyth said, is that the scil-building allowance is limited by the number of acres devoted to soli- conserving uses in 1936.

Ten Cents An Acre An interesting reminiscence cf the centenarian is his account of how ha could have purchased the whole of Santa Maria for ten cents an acre. Col. Norris was employed by the government to survey and divide all lands according to the grants." Dana explained.

He was a great friend of mine and he gave me maps and showed me every piece of government land and trails in this part cf the country. There was the Los Alamcs, Laguna. Guadalupe and Ni-pemo ranchos in the district and between their natural boundaries all was government land. Santa Maria then was nothing but pasture land and a good grazing place for sheep. There was net a house in sight with the exception of the Arrellanes home of the Laguna rancho, the Guadalupe adobe, and the Nipcmo adobe.

Sheep Land Here "Santa Maria being government land, the government offered to sell script for the property at ten cents an cere. This gave me an idea and I went to George Tyng. a kin of mine by marriage, and offered to go into partnership with him in raising sheep. I had plenty of sheep but Tyng had none. lie talked to Mr.

Hollister about getting a few head to start the partnership and Mr. Hollister agreed to let him have some on shares. We'll make millions! I remember Tyng exclaiming, but on slioit notice Hollister changed has mind with the explanation that he was too old to be bothered about sheep raising. So that put an end to the idea. When Tyng failed to get the sheep, he went to Mexico and tried other ventures." Subscribe for The Daily Times.

CALLS FOR A RETURN OF MORAL LIVING Calling it a day of annual reconsecration, Father Augustine Ho-brecht, preaching the sermon in Sisquoc Memorial chapel Saturday, called attention to the fact that while it honored Benjamin Foxen, it was an occasion for paying honor to all pienters cf the region and an opportunity to rededicate life to better things. We must turn back to God, said he, and realize that we must allow Him to have again mere to say about our daily lives. "This country is rapidly approaching spiritual bankruptcy. Diagnosing the trends cf our time, it is not difficult to realize that the death of civilization will come with spiritual exhaustion. Signs of the times show that we are at the crossroads.

People must turn again to prayer and live Gods way, not the way of man. "Our inalienable rights as Americans are being jeopardized and the fall of democracy is threatened by the red doctrines cf Communism rising about us. Our human rights must be revived through right thinking and living or they will expire in the convulsions of atheism. Morality must be the saving factor in the life cf this nation personal, relioious and political. "We must go bark to Godly living.

We must cccse following private cpinicn and take up again and live by the Word of God. 4 Public Officers Of Two Counties Face Opponents (Continued From Page 1) W. Stow Is without opposition for the Republican nomination. In the assembly race, A. W.
