MORE open FORUM, LETTERS


Editors Note-Again for the benefit of those who
may not have read our previous announcements, the
Press wishes to say that it has opened its editorial
columns to the people of Ell Centro and vicinity for
expressions from them to what be done for
the betterment of Ell Centre. We feel that in doing
this we rendering a real service to the commun-
lty as the very valuable contributions pouring in will
undoubtedly result in much of permanent benefit,
only to the city but to the entire valley whole.
We should appreciate hearing from YOU. Your
name need not appear in the paper but should be
signed to the manuscript
Editor of Open Forum:-
The people of Ell Centro are surely neglecting
the opportunity to use the columns of the Press to
express their views as to how may improve
city. Certainly there many barriers to remove
before we can build on firm and solid foundation.
| believe that the greatest problems we have to
face as city are the many pitfalls that destroy
ing the character and future usefulness of many of
boys and girls. The future success or failure of
community lies with the youth of today yet their
surroundings are not conducive to full development
of their powers. To put the matter in NUTSHELL
The Mexican border, aided by good highway and the
automobile, provides the temptation that large num-
bers OF our young people cannot withstand. If only
parents could fully realize that the influences out
side the home stronger than those of the home
but to their sorrow many come to this realization too
late
The unrestraned use of the automobile enables
many of our youth to drive with friends to a public
dance, or perchance across the border; and in many
cases their folks believe they at the public library
at chaperoned party, or some other place out of
harms way. According to officials at the border,
large numbers of young folks cross the line visit the
cabares and other evil resorts there until it is no un
common sight to see Ell Centro youth drunk in
Mexicali. .a&#
If we could do nothing more than make it impos
sble for our young people to the border line,
we would have accomplished much toward solving our
problem
But just important this step,-the parents
and every business man should stay away from Mex
icai except on absolutely necessary business and cease
encouraging by their example those who look to them
for guidance There may be harm in eating Chinese
noodles across the border yet the other hand are
thereby inviting the younger generation into that op
enng wedge which later may result in their downfall
1t is time for people who desire better conditions
to awake from their indifference and all work to-
gether for better environment in which our young
people may grow and develop their lives in the man.

WHY BUY AT HOME?

A banker in little city was asked
by local merchants, interested in a
buy at home" campaign, to set
down for publication the reasons for
patronizing home industry and home
stores which appealed most strongly
to him. They are worth quoting:
buy in Ourtown," he wrote, be-
cause Ourtown's retail establishments
compare favorably with those of much
larger cities in the matter of stocks
of goods and prices, appointments and
quality of service.
But that is not the most import
ant reason.
81 buy in Ourtown because I live
in Ourtown and / know that we can
not have the kind of stores here that
we want unless we patronize them
Every business is in some mea-
sure dependent for its success upon
that of every other business A pro-
per sense of personal, as of COM
munity interest, dictates the greatest
possible measure of cooperation.
Moreover, dealing with your neigh
bors brings inevitably a better under /,
standing and appreciation of them

more effectively do we work to make

THE NEW PRESIDENT

THE NEW PRESIDENT
The new president of the Unite
States, Calvin Coolidge, is a quiet, re
firing sort of man, and a great man
people. don't know much about him
The fact remains, however, that Their,
are few men in the nation who have
as full understanding of the policies
and problems of the government as
has the man who has suddenly beer
called to the presidential chair. Back
of this, too, is a reputation for hon.
esty and sincerity, which, coupled
with a, record of accomplishment and
conservatism, gives the people conf
dence.
The new president is lawyer by
profession, but throughout his life
since he left college, he has been
engaged more or less with public af-
fairs. Coolidge served one term as
lieutenant governor of Massachusetts
and was twice elected governor of
that state. During his first term he
came into national prominence
through the Boston police strike,
which he handled with a firmness
and on his individual judgment, in a
way which won reelection for him
by a majority of 125,000 votes. He
has specialized in economics and taxa
ton problems, and has the reputation
of being a most effective writer and
speaker. In fact the late president
depended no little on the vice-presi
dent to bring the policies of the adj
ministration to the public through
public addresses. Never before has a
vice-president been so active a part !
of the administration as has Coolidge. |
For a number of years, or ever |
since his first term as governor of |
Massachusetts, Coolidge has been
looked upon as presidential timber
and now that fate has brought him
to the presidential chair, the public
has every reason to believe that the
leadership of the nation remains in
strong hands.
"a - ~
We are inclined to believe that
there are too many people excited
these days about what is going to
happen through the efforts of this or
that organization or class. Too many
people think somebody else is just
going to ruin the country. 1t may
be capital, or labor, or the foreigners,
or the radicals in congress, or some
body or something else. AS a matter
of fact, though, the country is not go
ing to the bow-wows at all, and no
body is trying to send it to the bow
vows. The only trouble just now is
that too many people are spending
much time talking which they should
spend working. There is no reason,
however. to lose faith in the good
common sense of a majority of the
American people. America is founded
On the common sense and fairness OF
her people and we are not taking any
steps backward Problems have al
vays confronted the nation and al
ways will. A good many of the
roubles, however, are imaginary, or
It least over-estimated. The oldest
,itizen can't recall the time when the
public was not discussing something
hat was out of harmony in the af-
airs of the country. and the youngest
abe in arms won't see the time when
is perfect. AS matter of
act conditions are nearer normal
han we realize and a big percentage
f the American people are better off a
han they ever were. This may
ound like heresy, if not treason, to
Iagnus Johnson and others, but it
the truth.

LORNA -DOONE PICTURES

Blackmore wrote Lorna Doone''
in 1869 at a period when romance
was surrounded by entirely different
conditions than at any place in the
world today.
Lorna Doone lived in Devonshire.
the fairest country in England in
the time of Charles II. The book
is of historical value, long, full Of
adventure in which we may safely
believe, for it protrays the real life
of the day and period that is set be-
fore us. There were robber caves
and Black hearted villains, SO there
is nothing incredible in his vivid
portrayal of robbers and brigands
living in the wilds of "Bagworthy
Forest" or the peaceful farm house
of the yeoman, Ridd, who lived on
the Downs and is the hero of the
tale. In fact John Ridd is supposed
to have lived as did the man who
wrote the story, in the fields and on
the moors with the cares of the
farmer in his mind.
rhe movie play will be presented
at the Rialto at an early date and
Mr.. DeMordant assures us the cast
will be true to the traditions of the
book. Also, there are three copies
of Lorna Doone" in the library that
are at your disposal and should be
read before or after the play.
People who become interested in the.
book or the play may do so without
reserve or caution, because it is
rich and Wholesome, rich in history
and nature, and the young people
who see and study it now will have
all their lives to profit by the wealth
of. understanding it. brings. 1t

prevail of those who are working for
better pictures on the screen.

RECORDING NEW WELLS

MOSCOW, Idaho.-In order to de-
termine the extent, value and use to
which they may be put, a survey has
been made of the underground
waters of the state by the state
hydrologist of the state university
working in cooperation with the
federal government. Surveys have
been carried turnout three areas, de-
termining the resources of the Mud
Lake region, the Pahsimeroi valley
and the Goose Creek basin.
Mr.. Piper, the state hydrologist,
in discussing the situation, says:
1.-THE underground waters of the
State of Idaho, whether artesian or
not, constitute a natural resource
that should be developed and con-
served for the benefit of the great
est possible proportion Of the public.
This resource should he controlled
by the state, and like the surface
waters, be so administered as to pro-
tect the rights of proper develop
ment against waste and override
velopment Of the supply.
mo we'll should be drilled with
out permit from some designated
authority" is the first principal re-
striction which Mr.. Piper believes
should be enforced by law He also
advocated "a properly compiled
record of. all facts concerning each
well drilled; every drilled we'll in an
artesian basin should be properly
cased; every artesian well should be
provided with suitable cap which
should be kept closed when not in
use; and every abandoned hole in an
artesian basin should be completely
filled with impervious material.
'In conclusion the situation may
be summed up as follows: The sur
veys of the Goose creek and Bruneau
river basin, of the Pahsimeroi val
have shown that it is economically
feasible to develop artesian or other
ground water in these areas for ir-
rigation purposes. Also it is be-
lieved that similar conditions apply
to a very large part of southern
Idaho. In order that the greatest
possible benefit may be derived from
this natural resource two things are
desirable; first, that the artesian
waters of the state be put immedi-
ately under legislative control and
by some proper author
ity; second, that thoro and sys-
tematic survey of the ground water
resources of the state be pushed to
completion as soon as may be, to
show where successful develop
ment can probably be made and to
prevent the inauguration of ill
advised projects. 1t is to be hoped
that means to this end can be |
found in the near future"
