SAN DIEGO, Aug. Establish
ment of fast service between Cali
fornia ports and the Atlantic coast
was announced here by the Ocean
Fruit company, which will enter the
service in competition with the Cal
ifornia & New York Steamship com
pany, recently organized by Califor-
MIA citrus interests.
The Ocean Fruit cmpanv is re-
organization of the Motorship Ser
vice corporation and has as its
president Harry S. Scott, also pres
ident of the General Steamship cor
poration and the Transoceanic
Steamship line. Other officers of
the company are: Drew Chidches-
ter, vice president of the Transoce-
anic and General Steamship lines;
George Bowles, vice president of
the American National bank of San
Francisco, and Melvin p. BiIlups,
vice president and general manager

company. The latter concern is ex-
peeted to handle the business of the
new line on the Atlantic coast.
Ships to be purchased by the new
company will operate in the passcn-
ger and fruit-carrying trade, With
general cargo bookings from the
east coast. Five new ships are to
be operated in the service aud all
are to have speeds of Is knots. This

that the present seaside resources
are more than adequate to take
care of the needs of San Diegans
and their thousands of visitors, two
projects now under way will add
materially to the CITY, prestige as
q summer and winter resort. These
are at Mission Beach, within the
City's limits, and Solano Beach,
just north of Del Mar.
The Mission Beach project calls
for an initial outlay of upwards
of S2,000,000. This resort is sit
Hated not unlike the famous Co.
ronado Sent City, in that it oc-
cupieS a narrow strand between
ocean and still water. These ideal
conditions, it is believed, will make
Mission Beach the premier year

MIA. Work already is well along at
the beach.
San Diego, for many years a
popular rendezvous for summer
visitors, has gained materially in
prestige as a place for recreation
and sightseeing the year around.
Proximity of bay, ocean and noun,

from which to choose.
Paved roads radiate in all direc-

ARIZONA JUDGE
ROASTS BLYTHE
HIGHWAY ROUTE

In pleasant sort of way, Judge
Peter Robinson of Yuma, is having
lot of fun with the Phoenix
boosters for the Phoenix Blythe
Los Angeles highway route, and at
the same time he is driving home
some mighty good arguments for the
Phoenix Yuma Imperial Valley route
to the coast, by means of articles
written "a la Ring Lardner," in
the Somerton Star.
The genial judge, by means of
good natured ridicule and humorous
sarcasm, has been expounding the
advantages of the Yuma route and
III an article dated July 27 tells of
tourist from the East who forgot
instructions given him in Phoenix
to make his journey to the coast
via Blythe and accidentlv came
through Yuma, where he had been
told it was so hot he would have to
travel in the night.
Surprised at the appearance of
the country about Yuma, which he
had been led to believe was inst
an annex to Satan's Kingdom. the
tourist went to the government
weather bureau and found out that
the temperature in Phoenix was
five degrees hotter than in Yuma,
aad was satisfied to take the word
of Yuma folks that there are no
icicles on the Blythe route as he

had been informed in Phoenix.
The judge is a strong booster for
the Yuma-Imperial Valley route and
is one of the leaders in the move
ment to put the route in first class
condition at the earliest possible
moment. An energetic member of
the Yuma Chamber of Commerce,
he has been cooperating with I'M
pcrial Valley in every possible way,
and his efforts to counteract the
Phoenix propaganda merit the en-
dorsement of the entire valley.

Wheatndge Taxpayer Opposes
Creation Of New School District

as equally free to any signed COM
munications from that district which
confine themselves to the matter in
hand and do not deal in personalities.
The letter follows:
Wheatridge, Colo, Dec. II, 1928.
Editor The Arvada Enterprise,
Arvada, Colorado.
Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that the bills
are out for a special meeting to vote
for or against consolidated school,
and there are ten districts to vote
January Z, 1924; wish to say that
those with whom | have talked on
the question of more taxation added
to our already heavy burden say they
will not vote for a consolidated
school.
First of all, Wheatridge has a
heavy bonded debt upon its school to
the tune of $4,000 and does not
want to help pay for another. The
consolidated school would cost at
least $4,000 to 500, O,O00-another
bonded debt to run from twenty to
forty years. Lakewood has a large
school building; Maple Grove is also
large; Prospect Valley has just fin
ished fine large building; Frutdale
will soon have to enlarge, and a
would rather enlarge than get tangl-
ed up in consolidated school.
Some would vote for high school
if they had any assurance it would
stop at that, but one speaker at the
Wheatridge meeting said, Perhaps
we will have a kindergarten school,
also Community church, and to be
sure, a gym" If we had a kinder
garten, we would be sure to need
busses to haul the little folks, which
would be a big expense. 1t would be
foolish to suggest Community
church. We all know we could not
build Community church by taxa
ton, as we all know it would be un-
constitutional.
The ground on which to erect the
would require at least three
or four acres at $1,000 per acre.
Those who would do the work of
building the schoolhouse would have
big pay: carpenters 50 for eight
hours; bricklayers and stone masons
from $14 to 16 per day; hod carriers
Sl4 per day; painters $14 per day;
besides a salary of 1920 per month
for the president of schools, 5000
per month for the professor, teachers
from $75 to sl25 per month, janitor
$3.50 per month. The interest for
the first year at per cent, on $780,
900 would amount to $4,000; the
Presidents salary s1,9sO; the pro-
fessor's salary $1,SOO; five teachers
at 800 per month, $4,000; the jan
ltor ,45O per year. making total
Of $12,53O, not saying one word
about coal or furnace man. All
those bills will have to be paid when

DRAWS RECORD CROWD

1t may not be possible to get a
crowd together in Arvada for COM
munity club or something for the
community betterment, but it is pos
sible to get crowd, as was proven
Tuesday night.
Two young blades of the town had
an argument relative to their fistic
prowess and the disagreement was
adjourned to the street corner west
of the Midwest Tire factory, just
outside the city limits.
A mighty good sized and enthus-
iastic crowd was present, cheering
the warriors on.

Now, Mr.. Editor, if any one Of
the professors wishes to debate this
question, as to whether or not we
should have consolidated school
building within the ten districts, let
the professor take the affirmative
and will take the negative at the

Redfield, Clarke county, Washing
ton, has a high school much the same
as hundreds of other high schools
throughout the nation. A feature of
the school, however, that has attract
ed nationwide attention,is their
ten commandments in athletics - a
code well worth the consideration of
every high school athlete. They fol-
low:
An Athletic Ten Commandments
1. That shalt not quit.
2. Thou shalt not alibi.
8. Thou shalt not gloat over
winning.
4. Thou shalt not be a rot
ten loser.
s. Thou shalt not take unfair
advantage.
6. Thou shalt not ask odds
thou art unwilling to give.
Z. Thou shalt not underesti-
mate thyself.
8. Thou shalt be always
ready to give thine opponents
the edge.
.. Remember that the game
is the thing, and he who think
eth otherwise is murderer and Z.
is no true sportsman.

players, for he who playeth the
game straight and hard, wins,
