butes to the failure of citizens to
work with the police.

as vacation resort according to
Armand Jessop. the San Diego
jewelcr, who with ms family comes
to the valley regularly to absorb
a little sunshine.

that the valley is not so badly off
as many other farming commun-
tiles. The worst is over, he says,
and anyone with little money and
courage can do well here, and if
money is not available perhaps just
bulldog grit might do us well.

fishing, swimming, and hunting rel
;cs. They Found remains % osd
Irdia- camps :, tbs shape ot ac-
row po!-ts, pottery AID sto-e beads

BeHeU0Ient Man EiUeS
Riddles an Egg Hunt

1t reads like a story out of a
story book, but it is just an actual
occurrence which took place right
here in FL Centre yesterday after
noon.
1t was like this: A kind man
who says that he finds his great
est joy in. making children happy,
called at Mckinley school with
flowers for the teachers, and an in
vitation TO all of the kiddies to
come over the city park for a little
while and join in an egg hunt which
he had fixed up fo- them. And
what a time they did havel There
were hundreds of those eggs and
they were hidden in all of the most
outlandish places, but the children
found them, and it surely was q
great frolie all around, for the ben
evolent gentleman who simply in
treduced himself as "Mr. Peck
enjoyed it as much as did the kid
dies.
Later, the classes all had little
Easter exercises in their class rooms
with singing and recitations.

main thoroughfares at the busy
noon hour recently, hundreds paus-
ed to witness ceremonies commem-
Grating events connected with the
founding of the city on the same
spot more than two centuries

Behind the listening tbrongs
roared the life of city of more
than a million, nearly drowning
words of the speakers. A few
skulking Indians on that earlier
date had been the only witnesses.
Nor noise from the surrounding
wilderness had dimmed the voices
of the handful of men who then
planted the flag. The river had
then rolled free, unhindered by
wharfs, buildings or retaining
walls. The quiet tapping of it's
waves had then made only the light
