day asked the Police Department TO
close Pennsylvania avenue SATURDAY

flag in the world is carried from the
White House to the Capitol. The flag,
which will be carried by many persons:
will occupy almost the entire width OF
the avenue.
The Police Department. according to

if the ceremony were to take place at
pm. If this hour meets the wishes of
the association. the permit will be

WORK EXPLAINED

Details OF the activities of the

service in Imperial Valley were out.
lined at Yesterdays chamber Of COM
merce luncheon by George X. York,
senior marketing specialist of the
bureau Of markets, who is in the
valley to reestablish the short wave
reporting here. York stated that
the bureau of markets operates in
no other state in the same manner
! as California, where the federal and
state bureaus have cooperated for
the service Of the state as whole.
The market news service is one
of the functions of the bureau and
was instituted in order that the buy
ers and producers of fruit, vege-
tables, stock, meat and wool could
operate on a more equal footing.
Dr. Carol Aronovich, planning ex-
pert Of Beverly Hills, who has been
engaged by the city planning and
! zoning commission to assist in the
planning and zoning of FL Centre,
v
ing I'll Centro in q manner appropri-
ate to local conditions and climate.
According to the speaker the three
fundamentals in planning are the in
terest, enthusiasms and vision of the
people OF the community; patience
on the part of the people of the
community as no city can be plan
ned and rebuilt in day and real
i2ation that to rebuild a city will
cost some money. ArOnovici urged
that the citizens Of FL Centre de-
velop u critical sense so that, in ad-
Gition to zoning, establishing set
back lines and setting aside certain
! sections for certain uses, the citv
| could also be beautified and he es-
pecially pointed out the need of i'm
proving the approaches to the city
and doing away with "automobile

among other things the Red Cross

felt that the people of FL Centre
should support the Red Cross drive

placed before the city council last
evening at its regular mid-month
meeting by DR.. Carol Aronovici, ex.
pert in city planning details, who
has been retained by the council to
assist in devising plans for, the i'm

summarized as follows: That high
class buildings may be erected in
sections set aside for those of a
lower class, but the process canno:
be reversed. 1t was offered as a
stop-gap until permanent and
modified law can be offered, prob

There are at least a half dozen
names that cannot justifiably be
left off any selection Of all-star

Hornsby at second, Traynor at third,
Ruth and Simmons in the outfield.
Cochrane behind the bat. Grove and
Guy Bush on the mound, belong
on anybody's list.
There can be an argument at first
base, between Terry and F0xx, but
the Giant Stars experience and

more versatile than either, IL having
a great year. III two other pitchers

Red Lucas OF the Cincinnati Reds
will do. Lucas has had wonderful
year with a second division club.
In a day and age when the alibI
is so often heard in sports, 1t was
refreshing at Pebble Beach to see
so fine a display Of craftsmanship
as that Of Bobby Jones being elimin-

Managers Confident
Deciding to give his players a
complete day Of rest rather than
the benefit Of q workout at Steer

did not bring his Spudders into
Dallas until last night. The herd
had arrived earlier in the day.
While he and his men still were
confident Of capturing the series
and meeting Birmingham in the
Dixie classic, Manager Milt Stock
Of the Steers refused to predict his
outfit would sweep the games to-
day and tomorrow. He, like the ma
jority Of baseball men who saw the

likely to 60 to the limit of five
games.
