WILL
TALK OF COUNTY
JUNIOR COLLEGE

At tonight's chamber of com
merce dinner, to be held at the
Barbara Worth hotel at 6:30
0 clock, Earl V. c. Northrup, chair
man Of a special farm bureau com
mittee appointed to investigate the
subject, will speak on the topic of
a county junior college, with state
aid appropriations. Northrup has
given much time and thought to
the project, and he, with other mem
bers of the farm bureau and the
community generally are convinced
Of the great benefits which will
accrue to the county if such an
educational institution is establish
ed. 1t viii require a vote of the
people in the districts interested to
organize the college district, at the
time of the school trustee elections
next March.
The proponents of the county col
lege plan, which is heartily endors-
ed by the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, and by educators
throughout Imperial Valley with the
exception Of Brawley, emphasize
the fact that county junior col
lege, supported largely by state
funds, would not only provide a
college preparatory course but
should be utilized further to fill all
educational needs and demands of
the community. Such county
junior college, with contributions
f:om the state, may also provide
courses of instruction designed to
prepare persons for agricultural
homemaking and other vocations,
and such other courses Of instruc-
ton rs may be deemed necessary to
provide for the civic and liberia
education of citizens of the com.
munity.
Tonight s dinner and meeting
promise to be Of more than usual
interest. The entertainment features
are in charge of the junior division
Of the chamber, supervised by :
committee composed of Clarence
Smith, Russell Kliegel and P. V
Harrigan, and an orchestra will
play during the course of the meal
Both divisions of the chamber will
hold business meetings following
the dinner and Northrup's address
Vice President David b. Roberts
in the absence of President Hetzel
! will preside for the seniors, and A
G. Smith, president of the junior
organization, will preside for thai
body. Roth officers urge full at
tendance of chamber members

Pickwick Stages
Operates Sleepers

The Pickwick Stages System is
carrying an unusually large number
of passengers this summer on all
their lines and in many cases two
busses are running on each schedule,
District Manager Jack Keep, sta
toned here, reported today.
The entire system has been en-
joying an unprecedented amount of
traffic, Keep said, especially in long
haul from east to west and vice
versa
The new "Niue Coaches' which
run from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco are always filled to capacity.
According to Keep these new coaches
will carry 28 passengers besides a
crew of three men. They make the
run in IA hours.
The coaches, double deck affairs,
are SO built that they will carry
% and provide beds for that many
The beds are practically the. same
as found in the standard Pullman
ears. Meals are also served on the
busses.
1t is expected that as soon as
Pickwick has perfected their pro-
posed cross country air lines the
coaches will be included in part of
the distance

JUDGE FINNEY
NOT TO PRESIDE
IN CILLETT CASE

Following is a statement received
this morning by the Press from
Judge A. c, Finney, relative to con
duct of the superior court for the
remainder Of the summer months:
"'The Judicial Council has as
signed me to the Superior Court of
Los Angeles County for a period of
two months, commencing July 20,
and | expect to leave here at the
end of this week, or as soon as we
finish the criminal calendar in my
court.
"At the end Of the assignment
in Los Angeles ! hope to take a
few days vacation, and then return
here about October /, to take up
She trial Of the criminal eases il,
my court, beginning October Z.
"The Gillett case is set for trial
October L, but | do not expect to
preside At the trial of the case at
that time. Under the rules of the
Judicial Council, the judges of this
county are permitted to exchange
courts with the Judges Of the coun-
ties of San Diego, Riverside, Orange
Or San Bcrnardino, and / hope to
arrange for a judge from one of
those counties to come here to pre-
side in the Gillctt case, and / will
go to his county in exchange.
Judge Thompson will return
IN hAf
August /, and il may be asked why
the Gillctt case is not assigned to
Liza for trial. This would be very
agreeable to me, but Judge Thomp-
son Wa in the district attorney s
office for year or more of the
period covered by the Gillett in.
dictmentS, and is, for that reason
disqualified to preside in the ease.
ave shall have to draw a new
jury panel Of 100 names or more
to secure jurors for the coming
trial Of jhc Gillett case, and this
will be attended to On my return
in October.
"The plan for an exchange OF
Judges in this case has been de
cided upon by me, without request
or suggestion from anyone, and the
public may rest assured that every
thing will be done in the future, as
in the past,lto secure a fair and i'm
partial trial in the Gillett case
both for the state and the defen
dant.
