N. Y. EXPERT HERE
TO MAKE SURVEY
|. v. CONDITIONS

II. p. Douglass of New York City,
director of an investigational pro-
iect which envolvcs Il survey of re
lieious and character building work
in 60 different counties in various
parts of the United States, left here
today after having spent sew
eral DAYS looking over conditions in
Imperial Valley. He represents the
Federated Council of CHURCHES, the
international Sunday School Coun-
ell. the Y. NJ. and Y. w. c. a. S and
the Bov Scouts. He was aceompan-
led bv his nephew, T. B. Douglass
who assisted him in his work.
"You are making history here, y
was his first comment on the valley
when talking enthusiastically to a
representative of the Press. He
told something of the time he has
spent in various cities of the valley,
of his talks with representatives of
the Y. NJ. c. ~, y. W. C. A, Boy
Scouts, churches, schools, banks and
other community organizations.
Exceedingly enterpr S IL G,
were the words Mr.. Douglass used
in describing his impression of ac-
tivities throughout the county. He
also stated that the demand for the
work of the various organizations
seemed to come direct from the peo-
pie, and not from outside sources.
Mr.. Douglass was much impressed
with the community church move
meut in the valley, and remarked
upon the unusually progressive com
munitv spirit which must exist be-
fore such churches can be founded.
The general object of the survey
work which the party is doing is to
see how organizations such as the
bov scouts, y. NJ. C. A., y. w. c. y.
aud the bodies "fit in as Mr..
Douglass expressed it, to the life of
the community. He spoke of being
favorably impressed with the status
of the y. W. c. A. and scouts, and
mentioned the good work which
Miss Josephine \. Brown and $. l..
McCrory are carrying on for their

big Bertha Is
Very Much
Missed

Due to numerous inquiries as
to the reason for the fire sirens
silence the last few days. the
Press was today informed by
Chief Ferguson th a Big
Bertha is temporarily indis-
posed, but can work in case a
fire alarm needs to be sounded.
In making repairs the other
day, a spring was lost and 1t
was necessary to send to the
east for a new one. The auto
matte apparatus operating the
siren is therefore out OF COM
mission, but the alarm can pc
sounded from fire headquarters.
Despite uncomplimentary re-
marks about the siren, its noisy
blast is missed, and residents
who have been accustomed to
regulate their clocks by it are
at loss to know just when .,
IL and 5 o clock arrive. This is
noticeable particularly in the
courtroom, where the blast OF
the siren has advised all that 1t
is time for adjournment.

grip, of course, and answers half dozen courteous
questions, turning the trunk keys if the officer
desires-but that is ALL and it becomes trifling
matter of form if often 1t is less trouble
than changing trains many at home.
That is as it should be. Why on earth thinks the
American, should anyone think there could be any
thing difficult In the way of intercourse with Canada?
