WILL THE MINISTER'S HELP?

This column is glad that it is on terms of friend
illness with all ministers in the city and has often been
able to work with them in service to FL Centro.
Never has the Press asked the aid of the ministers,
feeling that there enough demands made upon
them by their duties. Anything may have done in
aiding them has been done with idea of reconpense
but now find that we have to ask for a little pay
ment and feel certain it will be granted.
Several hundred Ell Centrans viii attend church
tomorrow. We would like to ask the pastor of each
church in the city to tell his Pensioners that they
perform no better Christian service than by conribu
ing the Red Cross fund for the relief of sufferers
in Florida and the West Indies.
This fund is tagging horribly in Ell Centro. Less
than half of our quota has been raised and there IS
every indication that the loss of life and su
fering which resulted from the disaster will make it
necessary to double the quota.
We feel certain that the citys bad record in this
fund is due to selfshness failure to appreciate
the extent Of the suffering. It is due mainly to pro-
crastination and forgetfulness.
The rest of the country more less good-natured-
ly but sometimes quite poinedly Califor-
mans of being jealous of Florida, and pictures us
chortling with gee when sister state meets with
disaster. We lay ourselves open to being guilty of
the accusation unless do better by the relief fund
If the pastors will call this matter to the attention
of their congregation tomorrow feel certain that
Monday nights Press will carry much better report
than heretofore.

WASH BEHIND THE EARS

Early last month this column urged a cleanup
campaign for Ell Centre, with special request to Ell
Centro housewives that they set the menfoks to work
cleaning up their places. In a few the house
wives complied with the request. In many
it resulted only in offer by the menfolks to fill
full of lead the claim that had taken unfair
advantage of them, not being able to lay claim to
a housewife.
Now a cleanup campaign is to be conducted,
backed by the chamber of the health depart
ment, the fire department. and indeed by national
campaign known as Fire Prevention Week. With that
imposing array back of we dare say there will be
few threats shoot if tell the housewives that next
week is designated as Cleanup Week.
Rubbish and trash around the premises not
only signs of sovenness but they also breed disease
and constitute fire hazards They should be elimnat
ed and eliminated, premises should be kept clean
Not only is this appeal directed to housewives it
is also intended for Ell Centre businessmen Places Of
business in the downtown section usually look very
we'll - in front In the and vacant lots there
usually enough rubbish scattered around to justify
Sef-respecting and women do not appear in

public in an untidy They careful Of their
persons recognizing that they lay themselves open to
criticism and ridicule if they sovenly How then
can they justify unsighty homes? To do so is like the
boyhood stunt of failing to wash behind the ears.
FL Centro must confess to being guilty of the boy
hood offense. Next week is the time to correct it.

SEASON ENTERS
SECOND W EEK
BY JACQUED D'ARMAND
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. O.
Pacific coast football today entered
the second week of the 1928 season
with three major games scheduled
between conference teams and half
dozen contests of lessor Importance.
The three conference games are:
Stanford vs. Oregon at Eugene.
Oregon State VS. Southern Califor-
MIA at Los Angeles.
Washington State VS. Montana ut
Missoula
Coach Pop Warner at Stanford is
frankly worried about today S game
with Oregon. The annual game be-
tween the two elevens was moved up
from midseason this year and the
sloWness with which Warner s
Cardinals have been rounding into
form has given the northeners an
even break where they ordinary
would be pronounced short enders.
Stanford lost to the Olympic club
eleven on their home gridiron last
Saturday while Oregon was running
wild over the Pacific University
Al to 0. Oregon used only seven
plays for Cardinal scouts to take
home with them, while Warner was
opening his box of tricks early
against the strong and willy club.
men.
In Southern California, the Tro-
ians meet Oregon State, bitter
enemy who gave Howard Jones
eleven one Of it's hardest fights in
1927, losing by the margin of one
missed goal after touchdown.
Trojans Not Impressive
The Trojans displayed an i'm

Aggies last week but were lacking
