MORE VISITS NEEDED

The visit here yesterday by group of San Diego
businessmen altogether too short, and such eX-
change of visits between Imperial Valley and San Dl-
ego fewer than they should be-
We dare say that if a balance struck it would
show that valley residents visit San Diego than
here from the coast city There still fingers
along the coast the notion that Imperial Valley is a
desolate desert something of jumping off place
Older coast residents retain the stories OF two
decades ago when there little here in the way of
civilization, overlooking the fact that we have pro-
gressed here in common with all Of California.
No small number of San Diegans picture the val
ley as the stop this side of Satans Kingdom and
if they hold this belief of the valley must accept
part of the blame for the stories like to tell when
we visit the coast in the summer Then we like to
boast of the heat here not stopping to think
that we are doing ourselves an injustice and at the
same time creating a false impression upon our San
Diego neghbors
Instead of coming to Imperial Valley in the
fall winter and spring to en- ov the most ideal climate
in the world, San Diegans fight shy of us: Many OF
them know nothing Of the modern cities which are here
connected with each other and with the rest of Caor
mia by good highways They unaware of many OF
our industries the fact that trade with them IS
worth cultivatng and easily be increased over the
large figure it now represents.
But we must not blane the San Diegans if we fail
ourselves to give them every opportunity to become bet
ter acquainted with The fault lies largely with u.s.
There should be frequent exchange of visits be-
tween businessmen officials and 'ust plain folks Tor
our interests and San Diegos are the same

HOOVER DOESN'T NEED 1T

Suggestion of Chicago resident one Bertram NJ
Bell that the name Palo Alto be changed to Hoover
in honor of the President elect is quite likely to meet
with considerable opposition among Cafornans
We venture to add that about the strongest CalI1or
nian obector will be the who Mr.. Bell seeks to
honor Herbert Hoover himself.
One of the outstanding of California's many
charms is its Spanish names, redolent of an earlier
day when this state was under Spanish rule. The
old Spanish atmosphere is dear, not only to natives
of the Golden State but to others who have come here
from all parts of the Union They have learned to
love CALIFORNIA; past much those who represent
the third and fourth generations of Californlans
As Californian Mr. Hoover is one who without
question loves the old memories conjured up by the
names left in the wake of the Spanish padres The
name Pao Alto is associated with his early manhood
and is closely interviewer with his life from the day he
entered Stanford University to the present when ne
makes his home in the little college town.
Mr. Bell s suggestion is prompted no doubt BY
desire to pay honor to Mr.. Hoover but to carry 1t
through would after all, be empty honor. MI
Hoover has been honored to the highest degree within
the gift of the American people and beside that any
other honor would seem trivial
The suggestion was forwarded to Governor Young
by Mr. Bell with the recommendation that he present
it to the next session of the legislature for action
We trust the chief executive will pgeonhole it. and
believe that he will.

Strengthening Team for Battle
With NutmeSs

Three new players whose names
have not yet been disclosed. have
been signed by the management Of
the Hartford Giants for the game
between Hartford and New Britain
Nutmegs at the Velodrome In East
Hartford Sunday afternoon.
The Hartford management realizes
that the New Britain team will be
powerful and that IL the Capital
City grid team is to win 1t will have
to be at its greatest strength.
Last week the Giants defeated
the Newark Professionals by q
to 0 score. This was the first de-
feat suffered BY the New Jersey
team in three years. but break in
the first quarter when q kick was
blocked gave the Capital City team
the Elk points and victory.
The Hartford line consists Of the
best material the city of Hartford
can supply and 1t featured in the

the fact that ~ many Of the play
