A PIONEER WOMAN SPEAKS

''When / came here twenty years ago. had four
small children" pioneer woman writes to the Press
Living in the country did, it was necessary to
the city every often to shop But the chill
dren presented problem. To leave them at nome
alone to invite disaster To take them into the
city meant that they would have to be left alone while
! shopped, or else be dragged along wearylng me and
themselves.
"The solution of the problem in my and in the
case of many other in the rural sections was
the mail order house. We did not wish to do this,
much preferring to spend money in local stores,
but up against difficult situation and we
solved it the best way could.
CITY merchants quite often become indignant
over the amount of mail order business transacted in
Imperial Valley. The condition l cite is reason
for it.
my problem and that of other in the country.
We could come to town, leave children where we
knew they would be we'll cared for, do shopping
and return there to rest with them awhile before
turning home.
"Now there is talk of disseminating the rest room.
1t will not make great deal of difference to me- be-
my children grown up now, but wonder
what it is going to to the many women who are IN
the condition | twenty years ago. Will the
mail order house be their solution of the problem? If
so it is going to work hardship on FL Centro mer
chants and the entire valley, for every dollar that
goes out of here is lost to forever.
''The rest room has proved its value In addition
to the rural women there the city and girls
who use it. There must be solution the prob
len and sincerely hope it will not be found necessary
to close it."

UNCLE WIGGILY' SQUIRREL

The Fox and the Bob Cat sat on
one side of the campfire and OnrIe
Wiggilv sat on the other. Near the
Fox and lob Cat were some things
which the siliy-tailcd Bad Chaps
called his "popping stones. > He
lad found them in the woods that
day and, giving some to the Fox
the two had followed Uncle Wig
gilv to where the rabbit gentleman
had built himself fire to warm

Unclc Wiggily looked at the two
piles Of brown things, as have
told YOU in the story before this,
and lc wondered what they Were.
He could not see them very well
because they were on the ot2ler
side of the fire.
The Fox and the Bob Cat had
spoken about the weather, but well
did Uncle Wiggily know they had
ret come where he was sitting just
for that kind Of talk.
"Thcy re UP to some trick,

Then Uncle Wiggily leaned for

what the brown things really were.

Then, al Of quiekness there

brown things near the fire began

two Bad Chaps all over, so hard and
fast that the Fox and Bob Cat ran
away how}ing, for some of the burst

far off in the woods leaving Uncle
Wiggilv by the fire. "How did

DISCUSSION ON
AVIATION HEARD
BY LIONS CLUB

Aviation talks by Harry Horton
and Postmaster c. c. jenkins and
brief outline by Paul VI. Mead of
, Fit. Collins, Colorado, of sugar beet
prospects in the valley, formed the
principal features of the Lions
Club luncheon, which was held Tues
day noon at the Hotel Barbara
Worth, with a goodly number of
the members in attendance.
Mead discussed experiments con
Quoted with sugar beets in the val
ley, SAYING it was known to be a
fact that they could be raised at
considerable profit to the growers.
Between now and the first of the
year is the best time to plant, ac'
cording to Mead, if best results arg
to be obtained.
Development of the Imperial coun-
tv airport in order to have it ready
for the United States airmail ser
vice, which will pass through the
valley daily, starting the first OF
the year, was stressed by Harry
Horton. Securing a port license ana
erecting beacons were the most
urgent needs Of the county airport
at the present, according to Horton,
who stated that if money is not
forthcoming from the county for
this important work, it would have
to be raised by popular subscription.
The large hangar that was used IN
the filming of "Wings" and was
built at cost Of $4,000 may be pur-
chased for $500. 1t is estimated 1t
would cost $500 TO transport the
hangar to the local field, bringing
the total sum invested to around
$1,000. However, the hangar IS well
constructed and Of large dimensions,
which would prove popular with
aviators.
Postmaster jenkins emphasizc9
the need Of proper airport facilities
before the government would sane
tion the use Of a field for mail
planes.
