MISS D|CKEY,
FARM HOME
BUREAU HEAD,
RESIGNS POST
F a thful Public Servant,
Who Did Valiant Work
During War, Leaves
County Job.

So far as the immediate prospects
would Indicate, Imperial county's
Farm Bureau will be without Farm
Home Demonstration department du-
ring the fiscal years beginning July
1st.
Miss M. Ruth Dickey, who has held
the post for the past year and has
made the department. a valuable id
to the women of the farm rural dis
tricts, has resigned and left yester-
day to again take sup her home in
Pasadena.
Contrary to current rumors, Miss
Dickey did not resign because of op-
position developing from the Board
of Supervisors to her department or
because of the threatened failure of
geeting the usual appropriation from
the county.
Her associates in the offices of the
Farm Bureau today declared that the
resignation of this efficient public
servant was Forthcoming because of
the inadequacy of the paw and the
impossibility of obtaining a sizable
advance.
In other words, Miss Dckey de-
clined to continue this highly spe-
clallZed work on the SalarV which the
University of California and the coun-
ty combined paid her, which was lin
tied by the law creating the depart
ment and it's work.
The resignation may bring about
some chances in the plans of the farm
women's organization, whose repre-
sentatives appeared before the super
visors last week to secure a renewal
of the three-year agreement with the
State University for the continuance
of the Farm Demonstration denart-
ment. At that time the contingency
of the vacation of the post was not
generally known or considered.
Meanwhile every effort is being
made bv the women to obtain the ia
vorabe votes of at least three mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors on
the question of the continuance of the
department.

'READYFOR ANY
EVENTUALITY
IN CANAL MOVE.

but the decision of the directors was
compromise which was received by
the lobby without a dissenting voice.
The delegation consisted of many who
opposed the construction Of the La
guam leg of the canal unless the whole
project could be put through, while
the other expressed a desire to get
half loaf" in the event Congress
sional aid was refused.
1t was decided that after the for
NAL report Of the engineering board
had been presented it's members will
be asked at their July meeting ir
San Francisco to re-submit the Dropo-
sition under a bond proceeding; that
the plans shall be presented to the
state engineers office for approval,
and that when the initial steps out
lined above are complied with the
state bond commission be asked to
approve the issuance of bonds for the
project. The latter move is contingent
upon the action of Congress.
While it is THOUGHT best to submit
the project as a whole for state rati-
fiction, it will be divided into three
construction sections so that anv part
or parts or all of it may the author
lied and ready for construction.
By the adoption of this policy the
board feels that it may save several
weeks of valuable time, guarantee
quick action on construction of the
Laguna connection and satisfy the
most ardent All-Amcrican canal sup
porters.

CARPENT TIERS
THRU VALLEY
ASK INCREASE
WAGE SCALE
Shortage of These Artisans
and Increased Wage Scale
on Coast Are Given as
justification.

The carpenters of the Valley, so
far acting unofficially but with the
tacit sanction of the union, are about
to ask for an increase in their wage
scale. They will seek an agreement
with their employers for an advance
of 81 day.
The present scale, which has been
in effect for more than a year, is So
day. The scale proposed calls for
81 for an eight-hour day. In justifi-
cation the carpenters point to the fact
that although living costs are create,
in the Valley, union members Of the
craft in San Diego are being paid 80
