Corona Girl Is Bride
of Former Ell Centrun

A wedding of local interest which
took place in Corona this morning
was the marriage of Miss Mildred
Arburn of that city to Louis H.,
Ware, formerly of Ell Centre and
now Of Coronado. The ceremony,
which was performed at the home of
the brides parents, was witnessed
by the immediate relatives Of the
contracting parties.
The marriage of Miss Arburn and
Mr.. Ware marks the elimination of
u childhood romance, as the young
people have been devoted sweet
hearts since grammar school days.
Ware, who left this city about
a year and a half ago, is a brother
of Mrs. A. f. Crothers of this city.
During the time he resided here he
was on the Press staff, and made
many friends while in that position.
After a honeymoon at Long Beach
and other coast cities, the young
couple will go to Coronado, where
Ware has purchased home. He is
connected with the newspaper in
that city.

LOCAL CHAMBER
WANTS 1920 ACT
TO STAY AS IS

Attempts to make any changes in
the national transportation act Of
1920, under which the railroads of
the country are now operating, are
frowned upon by the board Of di-
rectors of the FL Centre Chamber
of Commerce, who have passed the
following resolution, copies of which
will be sent to California 's represen-
tatives in Congress, asking them not
to countenance any amendment 10
the transportation act at this time:
Whereas the national transporta-
tion act of 1920 assures shippers and
travellers full protection in their
dealings with the rail carriers, and
Whereas the said transportation
act guarantees no return to the rail
roads but authorizes the Interstate
Commerce Commission to establish
rates which, under efficient man
agement, are designed to yield Il rea-
sonable return on the value Of the
properties actually devoted to rail
road service, and
Whereas the railroads have made
substantial progress since the pass
age of the national transportation
act, and are this year establishing
a remarkable record in efficiency
through the movement of a volume
of traffic never before equalled il
the country, and
Oppose ANY Charge
Whereas it would be inimical to
the interests of agriculture and m
dustry generally to disturb the fun
damental industry of transportation
upon which western shippers, es-
peeially, so largely depend, now
therefore
Be 1t Resolved that the board Of
directors Of the FL Centre Chamber
of Commerce do hereby go on rec
ord as opposed to any amendment of
the national transportation act of
1920, at congressional session begin

at that time, and would be glad if
everything did not come at once.

2 SHIPS AWAIT
AID IN MIDDLE
PACIFIC OCEAN

SAN TpANCISCO, Jan. 5.-Two
trans-Pacific vessels were awaiting
aid in midPacific today as a result
of accidents to their steering gears.
The vessels are the japanese
freighter Kyosei Maru and the Am
erican freighter Harold Dollar.
No word has been received from
the Kvosci Maru since yesterday
when her radio reported the vessel
leaking badly and with it's steering
gear out of order. The Canadian
Pacific steamer Empress of Russia
was reported 200 miles away at that
time and should arrive today to aid
the distressed vessel. The ship =
position was several hundred miles
west of the Alcutian Islands.
The accident to the Harold Dol
lar is believed less serious. The own
ers reported receipt of Il radrogram
SAYING her rudder had become jam
med but no request was made for I'M
mediate assistance. 1t was believ-
ed the damage could be repaired
at sea.
Both vessels carry crews af about
thirty men. The Kyosei Maru was
enroute from Seattle, Wash, to
Japan, and the Dollar from Astoria
to Japan.

encourage junior colleges and en-
dorse them heartily.
Making a plea that club women
of the valley use all their influence
toward the founding of such a coun-

talk.
In behalf of the Ten Thousand
Club, Mrs. Hale also invited the
Brawley club women and their
guests to attend the Roland Paul
concert in this city Thursday eve
ming, January II.
Mrs. Graeser Talks
Another feature of the Reciprocity
Day program presented before the
Brawley club was a paper by Mrs.
Fl. b. Graeser of Holtville on the
subject, "a Few Things We Have
Learned from l923,' in which she
summarized various movements of
Importance which have taken place
during the past year.
A double vocal number by Miss
Mary lie Baron, two piano solos by
Miss Laura Lee Griffin, q paper on
"Cooperation' by Mrs. j. A. Rawles

Stating some of the advantages of
county junior college, Mrs. Albert
w. Hale, chairman of the education
al committee of the County Fedora
ton of Women 3 Clubs and secre
tary of the Ten Thousand Club
made Il forceful and most pleasing
talk before the Mothers Commun.
ity Club of Brawley yesterday.
Pointing to the excellent work be-
ing done by Central Junior College
in this city, Mrs. Hale stated that
the need for such an institution was
countrywide rather than city-wide.
Where 20 per cent of the high school
graduates of this city had been the
largest number to continue their edu-
catlon at institutions of higher learn
ing before the opening of the junior
college, 66 per cent of last spring s
graduating class are now in college,
was another of the speaker con-
vlncing arguments.
Allow S10O Per Pupil
According to Mrs. Hale, the state
will furnish the flat sum of $4,000 to-
ward such an institution, and 800
per pupil annually. With an estf-
mated attendance of 100, this would
mean $4,000 from that source.
As it is estimated that it costs ap-
proximately $1,000 year for one
pupil to attend college away from
{ home, considerable reduction of
this amount could be enjoyed by val
ley families sending their sons and
daughters to county school.
In addition to this, much of the
money for general expenses is ma
turallv spent in the locality where
the school is situated, and this
means that at the present time a
large amount is being expended out
side of the county, which would be
received by local merchants if 4
county college were organized.
The advantages of smaller classes,
and the resulting personal element
in instruction is one of the advant-
ages of q junior college over q
crowded state institution, Mrs. Hale
pointed out. Many students of the
; present day graduate from high

That automobile owners of I'm

to the present opening of the au-
thorized service and parts plants Of
the Imperial Valley Finance Corpor-
ation, owners have had to be salts.
fled with less.
The organizers of the Imperial
Valley Finance Corporation have had
in mad the interests of the pur-
chasers of both new and used auto
mobiles for the past two years. With
that in mind, they have worked out
the details of the present organiza-
tion, the main objective of which is
efficient and satisfactory service
to our customers ut 4 fair price. -
1t was realized that no single deal
cr could afford to install such a
plant as would be necessary to rend-
er this class of service at anything
like Il reasonable price. Hence the
consolidation of the service and
parts departments of several auto
mobile agencies under one manage
ment.
Two Plants Already
The location of these plants were
selected with great care. Altera
tioSs were made and equipment i'll
stalled with a view of giving ser
vice that is not only efficient, bur
prompt and economical as well.
These service and parts plants
cover approximately 10000 square
feet of floor space each, and are
located at Eighth and Main streets,
FL Centre, and Third and Heffernan
streets, CaleXico. \ similar plant
will be opened in Brawley as soon as
Il suitable location can be found.
Mechanics have been selected care
fully, and only those employed who
are familiar with the makes of auto
mobiles handled by the selling or
CARNATIONS affiliated with the III
nance Corporation.
Sam Dick, who has full charge Of
these service plants, needs no in

Imperial Valley, as his many years
of looking after automobile troubles
satisfactorily are too well known.
The selling agencies affiliated
with these service and parts plants
are: Cadillac, Hudson, Essex, REQ,
Oakland, Paige, Jewctt, and Nash.
Parts for these ears will be stock IN
both citIes.
Used Car Dept. Also
In connection with these plants, a
used car department will be operat
ed on a basis new to the valley, in
asmuch as used cars will be handled
on q more stable basis. Ali ears will
carry guarantee as to condition,
and a 30-day free adjustment SER
vice. These ears will be marketed
from used ear show rooms at $50
State street, FL Centre, and Bird
and Heffernan streets, CaleXico, in
stead of from vacant lots. This
method of marketing used cars gives
the purchasers all the advantages of
q new car purchase, and eliminates
the grief and dissatisfaction expert
enced under the old "Used Car
Lot" method. Prices win be plainly
marked on each car and reasonable
terms granted to reliable purchas-
ers. AS we handle our own paper,
no exorbitant handling charges will
be made.
Used cars will be traded in on
both new and renewed cars, as the
corporation has no connection with
any used ear combine. Prompt ap-
pralsals are made, and deals complet-
ed at once.
