"BELTEFE IT OR NOT"

1t seems good to be back Not that we
relish resuming the harness any more
than the average individual, but two
trips across the country have made I'M
perial Valley look better to US than ever
before.
1t was not only vacation for US but
liberal education during which we
learned many things, not the least of
which was how TO retain ones goat while
bouncing along over what some of our
states believe to be good roads. That
belief is maintained by the inhabitants
of such states. merely because they have
not had the pleasure OF riding on Call
fornia highways.
There were many surprises in store for
us on this road proposition. and although
we have always recognized good roads
as being of primary Importance, that be.
lief has now been intensified by actual
experiences encountered.
All of the states have done and are
continuing to do wonders to improve
their main highways. We were partlc-
ularlv impressed by lesson learned
in New Mexico. The word detour is OBJ
noxious to the average motorist and witt
good reason New Mexico supplements
its detour signs with the phrase-"The
sign of progress" 1t never occurred to
us in that light before but detours are
the signs of progress and viewing them in
that light seems to take some of the curse
off the bumps and jolts they cause.
We found the old home town and all
those who mean SO much to us person.
ally, in good condition. New England
as ever is bustling and humming with
activity, slightly retarded by present
conditions but refusing to recognize any
real depression.
Throughout the eastern seaboard, we
found California license plate to be an
open sesame and an excuse for any road
mistakes that might be made. Garage
men. hotel me-. and all whom we en-
countered, showed the greatest interest
in the Golden West, and to many OF them
California appears as Promised Lana
toward which they are working.

by coming into contact with SO many
fasteners to whom Los Angeles and
California were synonymous. In their
opinion there was no other part of the
j. Golden State that mattered, and if it
were not Los Angeles it was Hollywood.
We might state in passing that we hid
our chagrn at this and boosted for the
little villages up the coast as much as
we would for any part of our state.
1t must not be inferred that Imperial
Valley is unknown back there. On the
contrary we found that the publicity
which attended the Boulder dam battle
during its years in congress, has made
our valley conspicuous. There is much
ignorance concerning it, Just where it is
and what Boulder dam means to US, bat
the folks know Imperial Valley and not
a few are really interested in its future
development.
We saw much to admire and little to
condemn throughout more than two
dozen states Our journey made us real
ize more than ever before what a Won
derful country we live in and what op-
portunites there still are for develop
ment and expansion in the west. The
crust has only been scratched-there is
still more for coming generations to do.
Again we say it seems good to be back.
We find ourselves horribly rusty regard
ing local affairs, but hope to remove the
rust 1t was something Of bump to
our idea of importance, to find that the
valley had gone along on the even tenor
of its way without our assistance. we
realize that we are not such big frog
after all.
Friends may be expected to be bored
to death for months to come if they give
US an opportunity to open up on them
and this may be considered a fair warn
ing that we are likely to prove a pest to
be avoided.
This. our first effort in weeks. has
been something of a task. The harness
binds in places and it will take several
days to become adjusted. Nevertheless
the adjustment will come and before the
end of the week we hope to be ready for
anything or anyone, even our hard work
ing politicians.

Scientists Unable to
Cope With the Locust

Scientists have studied the locust
for centuries. They still do not I'M
derstand the inspiration of its mi
grations or the irregular abundance
of the insects. Where do such
armies come from? They have
flown in solid phalanxes from At
RIGA to England, swarms have been
from the nearest land. Apparently
most of them remain for years in
remote desert regions; then some
thing within them impels the adj
vance upon mans gardens.
The gulls once saved Salt Lake
City from locust invasion. and the
grateful citizens raised monument
to their winged saviors. In the old
days our plains farmers kept tiocks
of turkeys, regarded as the locusts
mightiest enemies. But apparently
the pillow was more potent still, for
when the plains went into cultiva-
ton the great breedings of the To-
Gusts ended, and the Rocky noun
tain locust that ravaged the prairie
states in the 70s and SOS is rare
insect today. The Russians have
had some success with poison gas
distributed by airplane, but air.
planes are not always readily avail
able when the swarms begin to fly.
In most of the Arab countries today
a flight of locusts is still as ap-
palling as in the day of Joel.
