Brady Langford of Silsbee, who
was severely injured in an automo-

reason their car turned ever beside

younger brother suffering only minor
injuries.
Young Langford was brought at

Moving to their native habitat, the
Elks of Imperial Valley and their
families made merry at the annual
picnic of the order held yesterday at
the mountain resort Of Jacumba
Springs.
1t was a big crowd and a happy
one, everybody casting aside their
business worries and cares or tomor-
row to put their heart and soul into
the frolc
Business men whose names are
synonyms for dignity, conservatism
industry and dollars, cast aside all
prtense and played around like big
children. TWAS day OF good times
and happy memories.
Dee Turner, tie owner, literally
threw the keys OF the Hesort away
and turned the spacious grounds over
to the Elks and their guests.
Probably a half hundred or mere
made the trip to the mountains on
Saturday night with tfa intention Of
starting the holiday festivities with
TIE first peep of dawn. The result
was that every cottage at Jacumba,
Mistletoe Lodge and Warren Springs
was taken, with quite an overflow.
The amusements were many and
varied, ranging from the contests on
the athletic field to an excellent con-
cert by the Ell Centre Municipal Band.
The real treat of the day, how
ever, was the big barbecue, with din
ner served by an able corps of Bills
under the direction of hef Charles
Collins.
Almost from the time the sun
peeped up over the horizon. the mot
to of the committees in charge of
Something doing every minute" was
carried out. There was a band con-
cert, athletic stunts, competitive
stunts, the barbecue, dance and ball
game.
More than 5000 worth of prizes
were awarded to winners Of the vari-
Gus contests. The names of the lucky
ones will be found at the conclusion
of this story.
Not an unfortunate incident marred
the pleasure of the day. Everything
ran like clockwork, while the fun
was spontaneous and unanimously en-
joyed.

one, limited only to Elk members,
