March Winds
+ X X :. X
Come on Duty

March winds are on the job with
"a vengeance today, although the
day began as an ideal spring day
with hardly a breeze stirring. Be
fore o clock the change came, and
soon the streets were filled with
papers and rubbish, stirred up by
the wind, while clouds of dust float
ed in the air, obscuring the sun and
making it disagreeable to be out
side.
To newcomers and strangers, the
heavy winds were a revelation, but
to those who have lived in the val
lev for any length of time, it is
known as normal weather for this
time Of the year, and can be expect
ed to last for three days, according
to the "old timers.''
Outside of making things rather
uncomfortable, very little damage
has been reported on account of the
wind. Telephone and power lines
have remained intact, there being
no interruption in the service. One
of the aerials on Clements radio
station succumbed to the strain of
bucking a heavy west wind shortly
after 9 o'clock and fell to the roof
with a crash, but caused little, if
any damage.
Members of the fire department
are on the alert for the sound of the
alarm, as fire in the present gale
could cause immense havoc before
it could be controlled, if allowed to
make any Roadway.

SCOUT COUNCIL
HOLDS ITS FIRST
FORMAL MEETING
Organization Perfected,
Committees Named,
Much Work Done

The first formal meeting OF the
executive council of the Boy Scouts
was held last night at headquarters
in FL Centre, with almost the entire
membership present.

turc were disposed of.

Fawcett of Ell Centre was elected
chairman of the court of honor. The
following We're elected district

rescnting the six districts:

Brawley, Major w. 7. Dunn; Ca
lexico, Captain r. j. Worthington;
Imperial, j. r. Bransby; Holtville,
Hubert A. Collins; FL Centre, Will
liam S. Fawcett.
A subcommittee of the executive

G. Erickson, Calipatria; M. d. Wit
ter Brawley; George R. Harris, I'M
perial; Frank S. Lake, FL Centre; ID.
b. Roberts, Holtvillc; Daniel A.
Leonard, Calipatria. This sub-cOm-
inittee will meet once month, ro-

cd by the county council to handle

it would be superfluity in this
warm climate.
A budget system was approved by
the board which will reveal at
glance the expenditure of the funds;
due apportionment is made in the
budget for every requirement. 1t
is the regulation form, used by the
boy scout executives.
Many matters of interest and i'm.
portance were discussed at the meet
ing, all questions demanding prompt
action being disposed of. r. p.
Moore presided and $. l.. McCrory,
county boy scout executive acted as
secretary.

YOU THFUL 'Hp
GIRL ELOPES
With BRADSHAW
Carolyn Grumbles Writes
Father Plans and
Disappears
Parent DisapprOves and
May Take Steps to
Annul

Another romance of Imperial VAL
ley seems to have materialized in
the Disappearance of Carolyn Grum-
bles, pretty member of the senior
class at Central Union high school,
and Paul Bradshaw of this city,
who are believed to have eloped
from this city Monday night. The
couple have been keeping company
for some time, and it is believed,
feared they would not be allowed to
marry because the girl is under age.
Before leaving, the girl wrote let
ter to her father, ID. l.. Grumbles,
well known rancher near the Melo-
land district, which was mailed in
this city. The letter stated she and
Bradshaw were going to be maEried.
Father Displeased
The girl rs father came TO FL Cen
tro Yesterday to ascertain if a mar
riage license had been issued at the
court house, but the records failed
to reveal any such names. 1t is pre-
sumed that the couple went to San
Diego Gr Los Angeles to be married.
ana the girl parents are expecting
to hear from her shortly, announc-
ing that she has become bride.
The father intimated yesterday that
if he could prevent the marriage, he
would do so, but was uncertain just
what steps would be taken. He
sought counsel of Judge Mayfield
to find out if any action could be
taken to have the marriage an
nulled and was informed If the girl
is under age, an annulment could
undoubtedlNobe secured, if it was
desired.
Carolyn has been popular with her
schoolmates and is known to have
been very fond of Bradshaw. The
latter is well known in this city
among the younger set.

SHERIFF BRINGS
In z ON CHARGE
OF MOONSKININC

Another raid on a moonshine
still this morning, headed by She,
if Charles L. Gillett, resulted III
the arrest of A. NJ. Voyles and
James MeNeer on n ranch one mile
west and three miles north of I'm
perial. Assisting the sheriff were
Deputies Sterling Oswald, Charles
Nice and Neal Morrison.
The Officers found a complet q
still, together with several barrels
of mash, two sacks of brown sugar
and about five gallons of the fin
ished product which registered
$50 proof when tested at the Jail.
The latter still had to be "tame1
down little, according to the
manufacturers, before it coulud be
placed On the market.

The mash was destroyed and the
still together with the finished
product, taken to the Jail. Voyles

This makes the fourth still des-
troyed by Sheriff Gillett in the past
two weeks. Incidently the sheriff
threw new light on the cause OF
his crusade against Illicit distiller
les. He confessed to being extreme
ly fond of prunes, but says that due
to the heavy demand upon the
prune market by monshiners he
is unable to afford his favorite lux
ury, so takes it out on the violators
of the law by rounding them up.

WOMEN ASKED
TO CEASE TALK
ON THE BUDGET
Legislative C hal m a n
Says Wait Till All
Sides are Learned

The district chairman of legisla-
ton, Miss +. 3. Nelson, is asking
that women IS clubs refrain from
further official discussion of the
governor budget until they are in
formed as to all sides of the ques-
tons involved.
There is some feeling that the
fears that the cut in department of
education was too drastic were UNI
founded and there seems to be dis
position on the part of club leaders
to look further into the matter be
fore taking official action bearing
on the subject. 1t is said that some
of the clubs, acting under the spur
of speakers representing the various
department and commissions affect
ed by proposed cuts in apportion-
ment, passed resolutions urging re-
consideration, or restoration of the
amounts said to be necessary to
the functioning of these depart
ments, without hearing the argu-
ments of the administration, which
is pledged to cut state expenses in
the interest of tax payers.
Imperial Valley clubs have been
slow to enter into the contest, few
of them having recorded votes of
approval to any of the protests
against the budget. They have list.
ened with Intention to what has
been said by speakers, and mem
bers have drawn their own conclus-
ions, some of them writing to the
governor to approve or disapprove
his attitude toward the department
of education and the home demon
stration work. Mrs. H. Boatner, the
county chairman of legislation, fav-
ors this method, believing that in
the spirit of fairness, clubs should
hear and weigh both sides of any
question before recording vote on
it.

JUNIOR COLLEGE
AVEMES DEFEAT
OF HIGH SCHOOL
Brawley Game Affords
Batting Practice for
Local Boys
BY R. J. KI.IEGEL

After hearing of the high school s
defeat at the hands of the Brawley
high school the Ell Centre Junior
College decided to try and avenge
the disaster. So Coach Cook and his
stalwart team journeyed to the
northern city early yesterday after
noon.
Brawley, confident by their re-
cent victory over the Central high
school, were out ON the field waiting
for the contest. The rest of the
story is short and sweet, the game
started, and ended, after few inn
ings Of batting practice for the col
lege. The score was IA to l in favor
of the Junior College.
.. Some Real Pitching
Captain Wakefield, pitching for
the college, worked in a manner
that brought back memories of old
high school days. In the nine inn
ings he struck out II men and only
allowed two free passes. Besides
this he only allowed four hits. He
brought in three runs for the college
and made two hits. Paul Mackey,
playing left field for the locals,
scored four hits out of five times at
bat and brought in two runs.
O. Cramer, right fielder for Draw
ley, made two of the four hits that
his team received and brought in
the only run for the northerners,
saving them from shutout. Aid
ridge, pitching the first seven i'm
ings for Brawley, has 9 strikeouts
to his credit and walks. d. Cram
err, who relieved him, had one strike
out and one walk.
The College team has been I'M
proving rapidly and should make
a good showing if they go out to
compete with any outside college.
