We Should Worry
About the Heat!

Thermometers in El Centre and
other valley cities easily reach the
ll5 mark these days, proof that the
real brand Of Imperial Valley sum
mer weather is here. However, there
is nobody dying because of the
6eai here, as was the case earlier in
t"o wen'' IN New York Chicago aud
other cities, where a mark of 90,
,uup.eu WIn lne activities OF oiu
Joha j. Humidity, was enough to
snuff out the lives of scores of
people.
Folks outside the valley immed-
lately conjure up a terrible vision
of this section when they read of
ll5 degrees, and while people here
admit it is uncomfortable, the
weather is not distressing, and the
nights are remarkably cool thus far.
It's here, and the only thing we
can do is take it as easily MS pos
sible, drink plenty of cool water
aud remember the wonderful wealth
er we have for nine months in the
year, when other folks are altern-
ately being scorchcd, frozen, dreneh-
ed and dried up.
