OBEY THE SIGN

Within the past few years a new idea in traffic
regulation has been introduced to the mOtorst, bring
ing with it a opportunity to the thoughtess, for
law violation.
The boulevard stop" has been recognized
of the best preventatiyes for accidents. So much
that in many places the penalty for violating the law
for which the familiar black and white pole stands IS
for Offenses usually considered much more
serious In fact law-abidng motorists consider the
boulevard stop violator a particularly pernicous
criminal.
AS a general thing the law is well observed in and
around Imperial county, but there has been tendency
noticed the part Of motorists not to regard
the law when they apparently have clear field at
boulevard stop" point.
This is very bad practice and should be frowned
motorists everywhere 1t makes difference if there
is not a car in sight the stop sign is there silent
sentinel of the law, and should be obeyed as literally
if it live officer, ready enforce immediate
arrest if its purpose is not regarded.
Nor is the stop law removed at night when traf
fic is light at out of the way points We hear
siderable comment the relatively small amount of
crime in England in comparison with the United
States. 1t is because the English people taught to
respect the law for itself and realize it exists for their
welfare.
Sincere and thoughtful citizens here depore the
disrespect for law that exists among today, many
people considering it TO their advantage if they
ceed in breaking law and get away with it. The
boulevard stop offers one place where all
learn respect the law 1t puts law enforcement right
up to the individual and his conscience.
The motoriSt failing to observe the boulevard
stop should be made to pay for his transgresson and
pay hard,

THE SALTATION ARMY

1t Is not difficult to find good word to say for
the Salvation Army campaign for funds to carry on
the good work which it is doing in Imperial county.
The activities in which the Army engages through
out the world too we'll known to need comment and
this applies we'll to its work in Imperial county
Through its specially trained personnel, the Army
seeks out those who in need of help, physically
we'll spiritually and gives them helping hand
It reaches people whom the relief agencies quite often
by, perhaps not much through deliberate intent
the part of these agencies through unfamiliary
with conditions,
We have had drives in the past few weeks, and
may have before the is over, but let
not pass the work for somebody else to do. By
all pitching in and doing little the objective will be
reached.
"a may be down but he is never out is a slo-
gan attributed to the Salvation Army. Those who
in touch with charitable and relief work in Imperial
county know that the Army lives up to this creed here
It feeds the hungry for the sick clothes the poor
harbors the harborless and devotes itself to carrying
out works Of mercy.
1t is not great that the Army asks from Ell
Centre and the rest of Imperial Valley In fact busi
nessmen marvel that the Army do so much
little.
If you inclined to hesitate just now, remember
the warm days that to come with much suffer-
ing for poor and sick folks the rgors of eastern
winter might cause Then remember the camp which
the Salvation Army maintains up in the hills for
youngsters and sick folks who otherwise would have
to sit tight and suffer You get your money back
any day next summer just by visiting this camp and
seeing the Joy that your generosity has made possible
for the unfortunate.

4 DIFFERENT HERO

For mertorous conduct and devotion to duty,
commend DR.. Phillip Schmidt Of Glendale, who fought
a winning battle against terrific odds last week and
Won-the life Of a five-Weeks-od baby.
The infant suffering from plcurO-pneumonia,
was saved by. the untirng work Of DR.. Schmidt, with
the assistance Of a pulmoor squad from the Los An
gees fire department. For six days and nights the
doctor fought his fight refusing to halt though
the little ones heart ceased funconing for short in
tervas, no less than 10 times.
Add to the strain Of such battle under ordinary
conditions the fact that Dr. Schmidt is brother of
Lieutenant Commander Schmidt Of the United States
navy. who lost in airpane accident in the East
while his brother fought for small life here. The
physician must have been torn by anxiety the fate
of dear to him, yet he devoted all his energy to
prevent death from winning another victory.
We hear much of the courage Of prize fighters,
of big game hunters, of golf champion-their deeds
do require courage Of sort-but it took real man to
carry on is DR.. Schmidt did. His splendid work will
hardly be noticed outside Of few. That however,
does not lessen the real value Of it. DR. Schmidt $
