TCHO OF THE PAST

l. Many, many years ago, when
the editor of the Press was a young
man and Imperial valley had just been
discovered. Clarence A. Shamel,\ asso-
ciate editor Of the Orange Judd Farm
er, came here and an interview was
squeezed out of him and printed in the
Press. Later. with many other articles
written in the early days, this inter-
view was printed in a pamphlet known
as the Imperial Valley Scrap Book.
Now. that interview and many other
articles from the Scrap Book have
been dug from the mould Of a decade
and printed as news by some of our
contemporaries. Some of the stuff is
pertinent and some is not, for it has
not only grown whiskers, but the whis-
kers have turned gray and give out
ward evidence of antiquity.
