C. VI. Cuthbert and o. Olcsen OF
Ventura, termitc operators, have
been in the city for the past tive
days making inspections and report
general termite infestation, al
though the infestation is not as
great as was first anticipated.

degree of infestation existed and
after that office has investigated
the properties declared to be infest-
ed, permits will be issued Cuthbert
and Olesen to operate but property
owners are notified that they must

Termites, little white ants, are ac-

BOY SCOUTS ARE
REAL ASSET FOR
ANY COMMUNITY

That Scouting is a community as.
set, is the firm belief of w. E. Rob
ison, scout executive for the Inner.
ial-Yuma Council of the Boy Scouts
of America, who, in the following
paragraphs, gives his reasons for
his convictions that Scouting is of
great value to a community and
worthy of its support.
"Figures have been quoted show
ing the value of a boy to be worth
100000 to the community. At this
rate the value of n Scout troop of
% Scouts backed by 4 troop COM
mittee of real wide awake men, with
Il real "he" man for Scoutmaster,
would be an even $1,000,000. Figur-
ed on this basis the FL Centre Scout
district has potential worth of
$3.6S0,000 in active Scouts. In six
Scout troops Fl Centre has 90 act
i've Scouts. Scouting is good bust
ness for the community. 1t is the
biggest business we have.
1t is figured that boy has
$500 hours Of leisure time in a year.
1t is the leisure time that decides
Il boF's future. This is the time a
boy plays, and travels with his own
gang. There are two kinds of gangs:
one that tears down and another
that builds. In Los Angeles coun-
" it costs $3.50 to apprehend a boy
criminal and place him in an insti-
tution In California the average
cost per year per boy for Scouting
under council supervision is $3.50.
Scouting takes boy at 1o and
brings him in to real gang of
real fellows under the leadership of
Scoutmaster with program of
doing things, taking him right along
with it and keeps him going in the
right direction. a Scout has an op-
portunity to grow in Scouting.
Of the "a troops in the Imperial
Yuma Council: one is a community
troop; two are school troops; two
are Elk troops; two are chamber of
commerce troops; four are service
club troops; four are American Leg
ion troops; one is a farm center
troop and eight are church troops.
How many troops would there be if
more churches, American Legion
Posts, farm centers, lodges, schools,
and service clubs would take on and
sponsor troop?
The Ell Centre district has much
room to grow. There are lots of
boys waiting to get into Scouting.
There is room for several more first
class troops. 1t is hoped by the end
of 1880, FL Centre will be able to
add four more troops.
The budget for the local council
was adopted to enable the council
TO grow. FL Centro's budget based
on 1880 objectives is $2625. The
'drive this year is well organized.
Hugh Osborne, of the Valley Build
ing and Loan is the chairman. On
the executive committee with him
are: Fred Gianola, r. P. Moore,
Ralph Reynolds, Joe King, w. w.
McEuen, Harold Baker, Harry Skin
ner and Joe Scott.
The drive starts on Tuesday,
April ], with over 80 men serving
on the teams for solicitation. Make
their work pleasant and worth
while. Greet them with a smile and
send them on with n substantial
check. We are proud of our Scouts.
Like our churches we would not like
to live in a community without
them. Help them to grow"

SHEARER SAYS
IMAGINATION
IS ASSET

What does an actress require
most to successfully portray an
unlimited range Of characterize
tionS?
Norma shearer paused in
freshening her makeup be-
tween scenes for "Theil Own
Desire" her new Metro Gold.
wyn-Mayer all-talking vehicle,
which is now playing at
Loew's Palace.
"Imagination," she replied.
"Then you don't think an
actress need necessarily have
lived and known life in order to
properly play roles Of varied
emotionS?"
The powder puff was put
down on the little portable
dressing table.
NO, not at aI-llnless one
has no imagination" she said.
II mean by that, an actress
doesn't have to live her parts
or the environment into which
her characterization places her.
For instance, 1.-THE Trial Of
Mary Dugan," 1.-THE last Of Mr..
Cheyney" &c" do you know
what ! mean?"
We recalled that Miss shearer
greatest triumphs were as the
heroine in those two recent
talkie hits, roles so Sordi6lJ
dramatic as to be considered
distinctive departures from her
usual screen portrayalS.
II loved those parts because
they gave me great mental
stimulus. Anyone's work should
stir the imagination to hold
fresh interest and keep one
seeking new things to do. That
is why I consider an actress
career fascinating. Playing diff
ferent parts-different kinds
Of parts, is like meeting new
