Drowned Sunday

Valley friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam Witcher, owners of the
White Star Cafe, near Jacumba,
will be sorry to learn of the tragedy
which befell their son Walter, late
yesterday afternoon. Young .Witcher

a duck which had been shot by his
brother.
The youth, who was student at

said to have taken off his clothing
and waded into the pond. He got
beyond his depth and became en-
tangled in a growth of tule grass.
San Diego authorities were immed-
lately notified and went to the
scene with an inhalator but were
unable to recover the body. Depu-
ties from the La Mesa sheriff's of
flee recovered the body with crap
ping hooks just as the youth s
father arrived.
No plans have been announced as
yet for the funeral, which it is cX-
pccted will be held in San Diego.

CHAMBER WILL
LEND HELP TO
CLEANUP WEEK

The chamber of commerce, accord
ing to Secretary Hays, desires to
assert itself as heartily endorsing
the efforts of City Engineer Phil
w. Knights and other agencies of
the city in their cleanup campaign
and their activities in connection
with fire prevention week, which
began today.
Knights has made careful prepara-
tions for the cooperation of the
city IS forces in the good work. Col
lection of rubbish will be made on
a regular schedule. The chamber
is much interested in seeing old
rubbish removed, and the city made
slightly once more, before the win
ter influx of visitors commences.
In addition there is the removal
of fire hazards. The fire losses in
the United States run into the bill
lions of dollars each year, and the
saddest part is that much of the
great loss of property and life is
preventable. Towns which vigorously
combat their accumulation of trash
and rubbish have a noticeablv
lower fire loss.
The chamber of commerce is con
corning itself this year with the
making of more beautiful FL Cen
tro, and the removal of unsightly
and unsafe rubbish is one of the
essential first steps. The junior di-
vision of the chamber intends to
make the Identification of the four
approaches to the city, in the direct
ION of Heber, Holtville, Imperial and
Seeley, one of its two major pro
}ects for the year. Junior officers
today are enthusiastic in their
praise of the careful efforts and
plans Of the city engineer to make
the cleanup campaign of this week
most effective. If the citizens of
FL Centre will do their part, and
give the municipalities forces a
chance to do theirs in earting away
the collected rubbish, in accordance
with the schedule of Engineer
knights, this city will be replica
next week of the tabled "spotless
town. y In addition, such precautions
may be the means of preventing a
disastrous fire loss.

cards of animal crackers, green pea

as one of it's major and most import
ant project, the directors do not feel
at liberty to divert monies from the
chamber s general fund, so they are
requesting that all who desire the
direct road to the pine-covered
mountains shall make contributions
to this temporary road construction
fund.
The work now under way will
make it possible for highway com
missioners, officials of the Federal
Forest Highway service, and any in
dividual, to drive in safety and com
fort to within six miles of Laguna
resort, without having encountered
single perceptible grade, yet at
tanning an elevation of 3,400 feet.
Secretary Hays states that, IL
respective of its possible termina-
tion at Laguna resort, the road
which Sweeney and his crew are
clearing will make readily accessi-
bic at once one of the most charm
ing little oaSes to be found in the
west, that in Canebrake canyon. 1t
is about +6 miles from FL Centre,
and the nearest place where flowing
water and a rocky brook, with dense
shade and numberless large trees,
can be found. AS picnic haunt,
Canebrakc canyon is ideal, and as
soon as Sweeney's work is done,
many al fresco parties are planned
for the newly opened retreat. 1t is
! probable that the chamber of com
meree will arrange next month Il
| Sunday picnic, with a large cara
! van of ears, at Canebrake, to eX-
! plot its charms and introduce it
to lovers of wooded valleys and
whispering brooks.
/ Contributions Needed
| The chamber secretary advises
! that five dollar contributions to the
! Laguna construction fund will be
welcome, and may be left at the
Press office, or the chamber of com
merce, or that checks payable to
Chamber of Commerce, Laguna Road
Fund, may be mailed in. Hays re-
minds that the Laguna short route
is Ell Centre S own project, and was
launched and sponsored by its cham
! Der of commerce, yet the towns of
! Holtville and Imperial have contri-
buted eagerly and generously, while
our own city has, as yet, raised
nothing towards the work. 1t is
true that no solicitation has even
been made here, but there is need
for the money right now, or Sweeney
must be recalled before his work in
Canebrake canyon is completed. is
the road to Laguna Mountains is
ever to be built by the Forest High
way system, it is asserted, we must
be prepared to take its engineers
and surveyors over the route quickly
and easily, that they may be con
vinced just how really short the dis
tanee is between the central cities of
the valley and the Laguna forest, il
there were only a direct road built
in from the east. Sweeney S work
in Canebrake canyon, which place
IS really the key to the whole road,
will make this possible, but there
must be money available for his
crew of road makers if they are to
continue their work, and Hays urges
that 40 FL Centre persons send in
their fivedollar checks today, that
the temporary trail may be ready
| for the forest engineers who have
been asked by the board of county
supervisors to make the survey Of
this proposed road this fall
