SCORES VALLEY
TOWN JEALOUSY
No Action Taken on Adver-
Using Mans Publicity
Proposition

Outline of an advertising plan for
the Valley, to cost from 100000 to
$150,0O0 was made before about six
representatives Of Valley Kiwanis
clubs at a meeting in Ell Jardin no.
tel Friday night. The meeting was
called for all presidents and secre-
ezries Of the Valley, but the at
tendance proved disappointing, it
was announced.
The principal speaker was R. E.
Freedman, Indianapolis advertising
man, who outlined the plan. He
scored what he termed petty jeal-
ousy between Valley towns" His
plan calls for raising the money by
subscription and the employment
Of an expert at a salary Of from
$4,000 to SIS 900 a year.
Questioned as to what medium
the Valley would use, the adver-
Using man was unable to say. He
stated it would take three months
study.
Freedman opposed the idea of
letting a Valley chamber Of COM
merce handle the advertising, as
suggested by some present. He said
chambers of commerce are not re-
garded in the best light concern
ing matters of publicity.
The question Of raising the funds
for advertising by taxation vas dis
missed after short discussion. Ru-
raj sections are usually opposed to
strong increases in taxes, it was
said, and the Valleys population is
composed to a large extent Of this
call class.
No action was taken on the prop
osition. 1t may be brought up again
at the next meeting.

PUSHER OF PEANUT
u TO VALLEY

Bill Williams, famed peanut
pusher Of Rio Hondo, returned to
the Valley Friday with tales OF new
honors about to be conquered.
His feat of pushing a peanut to
the top Of Pixies Peak in Colorado
has aroused the ambition Of other
would be peanut puSherS, Bill says,
and he has challenges from the
state of Sonora, in Mexico, from
San Antonio, Los Angeles and other
cities to engage in peanut races.
The international contest appeals
to him, Bill says, and he is plan
ming to meet his Mexican chal-
lenger in a distance race from some
point in Texas, Colorado Dr. Cali
fornia to some undetermined point
in Mexico. The date is yet to be
set.
"Shucks, there are a lot Of fell
lows that think they know how to
push a peanut, but they've got II
lot to learn" opines Bill.
They think they have a chance
with an old veteran like me but
they're just fooling themselves"
Bill says Los Angeles, Salt Lake
and Seattle papers followed his as
cent Of Pixies Peak closely and gave
him page n banners every day.
He thinks Texas and Colorado pa
perS neglected the story.
Colorado Springs newspapers and
the chamber Of commerce there did
everything they could to block his
