PIONEER MELON
GROWER DIES AT
HIS EASTERN HOME

Arthur Miller, Imperial Valleys
oldest cantaloupe shipper, died sud
denly at his home in Mont Clare, New
Jersey, Thursday afternoon, death be-
ing caused from heart failure.
Mr.. Miller began business in the
valley years ago when the shipping
of California's wonderful produce to
the eastern markets was strictly an
infant industry. He braved the many
obstacles and in large measure re-
ceived the credit for working out the
situation and solving the valleys per-
ishable produce problem.
Mr.. Miller was in Ell Centre about
two months ago, apparently in godd
health, and the news of his death,
which came to his local office last
night, will prove a great shock to the
community.
He leaves a son Tracey Miller, who
makes his home in Brawley. He was
in the east, presumably with his
father, when death came.
No details as to the funeral ar
rangements were received here. -
