God's First Temples -- Big Basin's His Cathedrals

The primary focus of this portion of the newspaper is a large front page of photographs of Big Basin Redwoods State Park, accompanied by a short article describing the experience and also of the importance of the upcoming election whereupon votes will be cast towards the fate of a $6,000,000 bond for California state parks. The majority of the newspaper focuses on automobiles and advertisements, with a small cartoon section.
