Lack of drought no others present, and its inevitable restoration would be but another sad token of the depths of human folly. Toilets aside, a prolonged lack of drought would create numerous other hardships for suffering Californians. Fun-fille- d hours now devoted to golf, tennis, picnicking and the like would be scratched. Instead, all would be expected to spade their gardens mow their lawns, wash their cars and undergo all the drudgery required to keep up with their neighbors. And, worst of all, should the reservoirs fill, the rivers overflow and the rationing cease, what on earth would Californians talk about at dinner parties? Let us pass over the need for umbrellas, galoshes and the like. Most California families probably have such emergency equipment still stored in their basements or attics. Let us, instead, go directly to the heart of the matter toilets. Never in human history has so much attention been focused on the toilet habits of the citizenry. Unquestionably, an end to the drought in this respect would strike hardest at families with small children. First of all, those cute, scatological rhymes instructing guests when to flush rhymes that so appealed to the sense of humor of six and seven year olds would have to be removed from thousands of bathrooms. Second, an entire generation of such children would have to be constantly reprimanded for not flushing and saying, "I forgot," instead of, as at present, flushing and saying, "I Yet pernicious as these prospects are, the outcome is not up to mere mortals. Their fate lies with a higher intelligence whose mercy they can but seek. "Therefore, let all of us in this hour of crisis bow our heads, humbly consign our destinies to the Almighty, and pray for drought," one good cleric said. sun-fille- nt d, forgot." In the dim long ago of the days, all Californians using public facilities washed their hands after (to employ a euphemism) they washed their hands. Surveys showed, however, that less than one in 10 washed their hands after washing their hands in the privacy of their own homes. Thus the only point of the public ritual was to impress pre-droug- HjuI) & Ik- cause for panic lack SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. While the recent week-lon- g of drought in California is being viewed with concern here, there is certainly no cause at this stage for panic. Every expert in the field has rushed to reassure Californians that one rainy spell does not a major climatological change make. The high pressure system off the coast itself at any moment and the customary could cloudless winter days return. golden, In the event these experts are wrong, however (and they have been wrong before), prudent Californians will wish to give some thought to what effect the unforeseen end of the drought would have upon their lives. once-permane- a, (Copyright Chronicle Publishing Co. 1978) STACK YOUR DECK 3 SA-C-9- Cassettes plus Storage Case 0 Free Value 14.37 5 ONLY $U.99 Standard Audio 3424 So.
