A COMMUNITY SERVICE

Opening of Ell Centros swimming pool Is
something than providing an opportunity tor pr
vate individuals to realize profit on an investment
and therefore worthy of than passing comment
True the proprietors hope to profit financially
from their venture but to do they have supplied E
Centre with real community asset and have fulfilled
a long needed want.
1t took something more than mere desire Tor gam
to visualize and bring to completion the handsome
plant which will be formally opened tomorrow There
was demonstrated splendid faith in the people OF III
Cenro and in the future of this city when thousands OF
dollars invested before single cent could be OBJ
tanned in return 1t required courage in small de-
gree.
The authorities and civic leaders in E Centre have
long lamened the almost entire absence of recreatonal
features here and it has been somewhat embarrassing
for citizens of the county seat claiming to be the leader
in all things to know that they and their fellow resi-
dents have had to go to other valley cities to enjoy
refreshing swim
For time past there has been talk of public
swimming pool, built by city funds. Again various
civic organizations tackled the idea In each it
than the interested agencies felt they could
In the present instance the city lent its aid in providing
a site for the plunge and this action of the city
council is commendable A privately owned pool after
ALL will be found to be much satisfactory than
public one.
There is little doubt that in few weeks will be
wondering how 1t possible for to go long with
out swimming pool. It's worth to Ell Centro and 9TH
portions of the valley not be measured in terms
of dollars and cents
Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon have provided the to
give Ell Centrans many hours of clean, wholesome and
beneficial enjoyment, thereby rendering distinct
munity service For this they deserve the thanks and
support of the people of this neghborhood, which
feel certain will be accorded them.

Last night the Volcano Lake levee
broke and Il flood is starting for
the Salton Sea The extent of the
damage can not be estimated as
vet. but it is feared that the break
is of serious nature. 1t will be
difficult for the future to under
stand why this valley has remained
idle and let the levee 90 out when
comparatively little work would
have saved it, The attitude of En-
gineer Carhery and of Receiver Hoii-
