Ethel was very active in her community. She volun- teered as a guide at the Kelly-Griggs House Museum. She loved to dance, and participated as an officer for the Los Molinos Senior Center dances. Ethel also enjoyed attend- ing the Summer Concert-in-the-Park and was always hap- py to see friends there. Being a true patriot, she loved to attend the Fourth of July Parades. Ethel's greatest passion was her membership in Native Daughters of the Golden West, Berendos Parlor, here in Red Bluff. She held every office at least once and was al- so involved at the regional and state level. She traveled widely throughout CA with car loads of sorority sisters to attend meetings and support the causes of the organiza - tion. In August of 2011, Ethel survived a horrible automobile crash, but was recovering nicely. Her last three months were the most happiest she had been in recent years. Vis- iting in Kentucky was the closest thing to heaven on Earth for her; and it ended up being her next step to Heaven. We will miss her greatly.

AB2312 narrowly passed the Assembly last month, but Ammiano said it was unlikely the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development would have endorsed it or that Gov. Jerry Brown would have signed the legislation if it made it out of the Legislature. Instead, he and committee chairman Sen. Curren Price, D-Los Angeles, agreed to give senators time to evaluate and possibly amend Ammiano's proposal once the current leg- islative session ends.

Assemblyman Tom Ammiano on Monday pulled his bill Soon we will be hearing the results of the big debate in Washington of whether or not we should join England in their fight with Germany. There is absolutely no half way in or out. We as a country must mind our own business or we will soon be going over to help England in her losing battle to control the seas. I can never understand why the majority of people think England is a friend of the United States. They never have been. From the revolutionary war and the War of 1812 in which they fought us, and in the Civil War in which they sided with the South hoping to disrupt our country, they have always been against us. In WW l they borrowed our money at the end of that war with no intention of paying it back. In the present war, they told Poland to talk back to Germany and they would help them. The result was the annihilation of the people while England did not send a man to help them. They then talked the French into fighting Germany, but so far the French have practically done all the fighting. I am not pro German but I am pro American and I don't like the underhanded way our people are being dragged into another European war. (Ed. Note: This is one of the few things of father's writings of which I disagree. However, at the time of his writing, he was not aware of Hitler's atrocities.) *** There was a lot of wailing when school started this year about our football prospects at the high school. Most of the talk was that we would surely lose most of our games because we had lost a great coach and the two Owens boys who had played so well last year. The material was supposed to be very ordinary and with a new coach it was not looking like victory would be in hand. However, the results have been very different I saw the Oroville and the Marysville games and would not ask for a better team. I like the way young George Growney catches those passes. If he keeps improving he won't have to join the Navy to see the world when he is through with high school. He will be able to see it with the St. Mary's football team. Doug Sale doesn't look like he eats enough meat, but if I were a coach I could not ask for a better man. I like the way Loys Flournoy did that open field running at the end of the game, and when Jess Freitas gets mad there is no one that can stop him before he makes good yardage. I enjoy watching them play more than a California Stanford game…and I'm not so sure that our team could not beat both of them.
