Architect and engineer . pro-moter of the model Spanish city—San Cle- mente—deserves a lot of credit for his cour-age and faith in what at first seemed a ven-turesome undertaking. But Ole has weath-ered the worst and San Clemente may saidto be well on its way to prosperity. Tisa lovely little city—this San Clemente-by-the-sea, half way between Los Angeles andSan Diego. We drove through the townone recent May morning and were im-pressed with its size, clean appearance andbeautiful architecture. All the buildings—commercial and domestic—are of theMediterranean type with white stucco wallsand red tile roofs. Possibly a little toomuch white and red and not enough ofsome other color. Perhaps, as one writerargues, it will be better when the staringwhite is aged and mellowed by time, wind,rain and sun. Perhaps some pastel shadesof blue, yellow and green, might help torelieve the monotony. Surely the experi-ment would do no harm and might provejust the thing to climax an otherwise per-fect setting.
