HOOVERS PICNIC
BY SELVES

The day being fair and promising.
President and Mrs. Hoover have de-
cided to go on picnic somewhere
anywhere that there may be trout
fishing. plenty of green trees, and
running waters.
Their destination was not an
nounced and neither newspapermen
nor photographers went along to
record by written script or picture
the activities of the pair.
1t all depends on the weather and
their excursion may lead them to
the headwaters of the Rapidan
River in the Shenandoah Valley of
Virginia. or to the estate of Law
renee Richey. the Presidents secre-
tary, near Frederick, Nd, both of
which offer good fishing.
Or they may just wander along
the roads until they find an alluring
spot where they may enjoy their
lunch.

The value Of the county airport

commercial lines has been demon
stratrd again.
I Continental Air Express AirlincS
I Company is soon to start service to
Imperial Valley, according to Il com
muniration received from the com
pany today by the FL Centre Cham
Der of Commerce. The expansion
will include the following routes
serving the cities thereon with fast,
air transportation, using cabin-typr
ships which they claim will be rs-
pecialIy constructed for speed com
fort and reliability; Los Angeles to
Palm Springs, II Centre, Calcxico
and Yuma; Los Angeles to Ventura
and Santa Barbara; Los Angeles to
Bakersfield and Taft and Los An
gclcs to san Diego. The schedule
covering these routes is now on file
with The state Railway Commissions
according to the communication.
Continental Air Express plans to
carry both passengers and express,
ships viii probably be six in number
modern both mechanically and from
a luxury standpoint and once the
schedule is established they promise
that ships viii come and go the
year rnand at published hours. The
company also promises low fares and
favorable rates for express matter.
In the communication many in
quiricS were made about airport fa.
cilitirS in FL Centre. Secretary Hays
has been asked to furnish detailed
information about the equipment of
the Imperial Avenue airport. cspc-
cially the flood and boundary lights.
! This interest indicates an intention
to compete for the southern air mail
contract whcu that service is cS-
tabished, as this carriage of the
piail will involve night flying. The
/ Pickwick A;rways. whose superin-
! t"ndcnt, Commander William y.
| Frye. visited FL Centre last week,
also intends to seek this air mail
contract, and to establish passenger
service which shall include FL Cen
! tro. The far s;ghtedncss of the pro
poncnts here of a lighted field is
now being highly commended on all
sides. Without lights for night fly.
, ing, and without the long gravcled
runway which permits of landing in
rainy weather, the Imperial County
! airport could not he considered in
! connection with the air mail and
with established passenger service of
the great FLYING concerns.
