Col. Charles y. Lindbergh, will sa-
lutte Imperial Valley and the resi-
dent of Ell Centre when the famous

Announcing the coming of Lindy,
ace of the ether and darling of the
nation, the siren on the city fire
house will give four blasts as sig
nal. Through the courtesy of the
fire department, cooperating with
Toparch W. J. Reid, head of the
local Sciot pyramid. it is planned
to give the first signal when the
ocean spanning monoplane takes
the air from Ryan airport, San Di-

worked out by Reid, the fire de-
partment and the Press, an observer
will be stationed at Seeley to watch
for the plane. Instantly upon its
appearance on the western horizon,

were being made at even money.
