0NE of the easiest salads to pre-
pare, one which contains a
fair amount of food value, is
quickly evolved out of a can of
beets, aided and abetted by three
or four hard boiled eggs. After
draining the liquid from the can,
cut the beets into quarters. The
hard-boiled eggs may be sliced hor-
izontally or halved and quartered
vertically, and arranged with the
beets in any attractive fashion, on
crisp, wholesome lettuce. When
canned beets are used, this may be
prepared in fifteen minutes; in fact,
in just about the time it takes to
boil the eggs, provided there is
mayonnaise ready in the ice-box.

Traffic Fines High
During Month

Imperial Valley motorists should
throw out their collective chests and
strut a bit as n result of their rec
ord in June, which according to fig
ures at the court house, was the
best ever made.
With the assistance of the traffic
squad under Captain Art Leonard,
traffic law violators poured $2130
into the Golfers of the county treas
ury in fines collected in June. In
addition to that there were $4l2.50
in delinquent fees collected by the
traffic department.
Speeding, reckless driving and
driving while under the Influence
of liquor, is what does it, Captain
Leonard says. AS a means of fur
nishing an income to the county,
you can I beat it, he added.
Charles Guerroz, resident of FL
Centre, failed to appear in justice
of the peace court this week in re-
sponse to ticket given him by the
traffic department, AS result, he
was placed under arrest and was
sentenced to serve 10 days in Jail.
After he had served five hours of
the term, he was released on sus-
pended sentence.
