LOCAL PEOPLE
INJURED WHEN
TWO CARS MEET
Two Women Sent to
Hospital, Result of
Crash

Mrs. Barney Won Friedo, who
lives two miles west of Ell Centre,
and Mrs. Helen George of FL Cen
tro, are in the Ell Centre hospital
with minor injuries, as the result
of an automobile accident on the
Calexieo highway, one-half mile
south of this city yesterday after
noon.
According to a report of the acci
dent made to the state traffic de-
partment, the Won Friedo car, con
tanning Won Friedo his wife, and
several children, was proceeding
north on the highway. Mrs. George,
driving her car, was going south,
and had just passed another car
going in the same direction, thereby
placing her on the left hand side of
the road.
Won Friedo, seeing the George car
coming toward him, turned over to
the west side of the highway al
most at the same time that Mrs.
George swung to the same side. The
cars met head on, and only that
both drivers applied their brakes,
just before meeting, the accident
might have been much more serious.
A baby, sitting in Mrs. Won
Friedo's lap in the front seat, was
thrown through the windshield and
landed on the hood of the car, with
out sustaining even a slight scratch.
Mrs. Won Friedo suffered a wrench
ed shoulder and a scalp wound. Mrs.
George escaped with a sprained
ankle and minor bruises She was
accompanied by her daughter and
friend, both of whom had slight
cuts. Won Friedo and two of the
children also received slight cuts,
but were able to go home after re
ceiving first aid treatment.
At the hospital today it was stat
ed that Mrs. George and Mrs. Won
Friedo were resting comfortably
and aside from the shock of the
accident they are not badly injured.

CHILDERS SAYS
FIGHT AGAINST
FINNEY BITTER

According to Attorney Charles L..
Childers, who returned Saturday
from Sacramento, the lobby which
appeared at the capital last week
in opposition to the Finney bill for
ratification of the six-state com
pact with reservations, was report
ed by old-time members of the leg
islaturo to be the strongest that has
been at Sacramento since the King
tax bill was voted on several years
ago.
The victory for Imperial Valley
was generally popular among the
majority of the members of the leg
islature, he said, and news that
the senate had passed the Finney
bill was the occasion for many
complimentary remarks regarding
Assemblyman Finney and those who
aided him in getting the bill
through.
Regarding the bill, Attorney
Childers stated that it merely guar
antees some protection to Imperial
Valley which was not the case un-
der the Santa Fe pact. In the lat
ter agreement, California gave eve
rything and did not obtain any
thing lin return from the other
states which signed the pact. The
fact that Imperial Valley demands
sufficient storage of water to in
sure against such n shortage as was
experienced last year, does not
mean that it is asking anything
that it is not entitled to, he said.
Regarding the decision rendered
by Judge Willis in the superior
court here Saturday, restraining the
district from proceeding with the
construction of buildings at Imper-
fal, Childers stated that he has not
ms yet had opportunity to investi-
gate the matter but will do so at
taice. He stated that he under
stands the restraining order is mere
" effective until the ease can be
tried, and when this happens the
order viii either be made permanent
or will be withdrawn, thereby per-
mitting the district to proceed with
the plans made for Imperial.
The case will probably come up
tomorrow here to have date set
for trial
