More Letters Are
Needed for Bill

Response to the letter writing
campaign, sponsored by the Imper-
ial Irrigation District, is gratifying
to the officials, according to Secre-
tary McIver, though there is still
room for considerable Improvement,
he. stated.
Nearly 10000 letters were ad-
dressed last week by the district, to
Imperial Valley residents, urging
them to write congressman, or
friends back in the east, urging
them to lend their aid in behalf
of the Swing-Johnson bill.
Wednesday, 10000 follow up
cards will be sent out by the dis
trirt, urging those who received the
letters to write, if they have not
already done so.
1t is explained that one need not
know n congressman personally, to
address him in this connection. Nor
should they be limited to congress
men. City and state officials, or
prominent business men, known TO
local residents, should be addressed,
urging them to write their congress
men to help the bill.
