"CHARITY' BUNK

We hope the present crusade in Los Angeles, to
run OUT those who promote all sorts of activities in
the of charity but who firmly believe that charity
begins at home = meaning themselves = will extend
to Imperial Valley
Organizations of merit here as elsewhere, do not
need the assistance of outsiders to help them promote
worth while activities The local organizations have
the confidence of the people of their communities, and
if the work they sponsor is worth while it will be given
the support it deserves
Instead of getting outside group to put
over their objectives, our organizations should be
energetic enough to do it themselves. In the past
they have fallen for the schemes of those who make
their living by promoting, though the word promot

nothing less than commercial venture for

GO II YOU CAN

Opportunity to strengthen the friendly relations
now existing between Imperial Valley and San Diego
and our neighbors in Arizona, is afforded those who
make the good will trip to various Arizona cities this
week
Sponsored by the San Diego Chamber of Com
merce, this body has invited Imperial Valley to join
with them in paying a visit to eastern friends.
Those who made the trip to Arizona last year
Der the cordial hospitality they met with all sides
But this trip is not intended to be devoted solely
to hospitality and good time There are important
business matters involving the three communities to
be discussed. For one thing if the Southwest is to
be served by air mall it only be obtained by the
united efforts of ALL This is perhaps the most i'm
portant function to be considered on the trip.
Then again, friendly exchange of visits will do
much to eliminate misunderstanding with Arizona
neighbors, arising out of the SwngJ Johnson bill. 1t
is earnestly hoped that all such differences will be
wiped out at the conference scheduled for Albuquerque
later in the month. The good will trip accomplish
much to make this hope a reality.
Imperial Valleys quota for the trip is 25. Of
this number Ell Centro is asked to furnish approXi-
mately 10 persons. Some have already signed up for
the trip and it is urged that others do at
the excursion will leave here this week The cost is
reasonable and those who spare the time from
their business affairs should make every effort to join
the excursion here.
