CITY CLERK IS
SATISFIED WITH
VALLEY CLIMATE

Householders of Imperial Valley
who wake up in the morning with
q chill creeping into their bones
should listen to the story of John
c. Neale, city clerk. and go their
way with warmth spreading where
before was cold.
Neale recently returned from q
deer hunt into the Kaibab forest in
Arizona. bringing back a tale OF
snow covering the ground and
weather that held the thermometer
below zero.
One foot Of snow was on the
ground when the city clerk and his
party arrived in the Kaibab Coun-
try, and only the night before their
arrival the mercury dropped to 10
degrees below zero.
The party left Thursday night of
last week. In it were Neale, S. E.
Fusco. Joe Puma and Burlett
George. The last three are Los
Angeles men. Spending two days in
the deer country, the party bagged
six deer. Neale was responsible for
one.
From Ell Centro the party went
to Las Vegas, Nevada. and from
there through the Zion National
Park. Fredonia. Arizona, was the
last stop before trekking into the
Kaibab forest.

Harris has a deep interest in the
route, as his mother travelled 1t IN
1850. She ran away from her home
in Fort Worth, Texas, and hid IN q
wagon train headed for California.
She left q diary telling OF the Jour-
ney to California. the account con-

journey across Imperial Valley and
the harGships encountered IN this
vicinity. She wrote of the fiVe-day

that a sand storm had covered them

DO IT EARLl

The month OF December marks the
real start of Christmas shopping. from
now until Christmas DAY. the work OF
those who sell and transport merchan-
disc will increase tremendously.
AS is true with US in SO many other
activities. Americans crowd an immense
amount OF effort and energy into COM
naratively short space Of time and place
a heavy burden upon those who must
handle the Christmas rush.
i is necessary to augment the oraln-
arvH resources in order to move an M
mense amount Of matter thousands OF
miles in hundreds of hours, but even
then a terrible strain is placed upon each
individual engaged in the undertaking.
DO your Christmas shopping early,
is not an idle request. Behind it is a bit
of idealism which many of us overlook
with alarming cOnSistency-a little con-
sideration for the other fellow.
It is Just as easy to buy now as 1t is
the day before Christmas. and the selec-
ton afforded the purchaser IS much
greater. It is also possible for many TO
make their purchases in the morning m
stead of waiting until closing time IN the
afternoon. Clerks are going to be more
tired the day before Christmas than they
are now. Much of the fatigue they will
experience in the next few weeks comes
from the thoughtless shopper who rush
es in late in the day and insists upon be-
ing cared for before closing time.
The same conditions apply to mail and
express clerks. Their work can be made
much lighter if the general public will
send Christmas gifts intended for dis
tant places now, instead of waiting un-
til Christmas week. And dumping an
avalanche OF packages on mail and ex-
press clerks late in the day is not what
might be called showing the true Christ
mas spirit,
There is need for all of US to remem-
Der that the spirit of Christmas should
not be restricted by Us to relatives and
immediate friends but should take in

then he sat down in the icicle chair
again TO wait for the fire to get
hot, which it soon did.
Uncle Wiggily stood near the
door and. all of sudden the rabbit

had hoped away to school, TO re-
cite their lessons to the Lady Mouse
Teacher. Something may happenl"
and Mr.. Longears went out whistle
ing.
Winter had come early that year
and, though it was only the first
of December, there waS snow on
the ground. On the way TO school
the rabbit children had made
snowballs and they had found Won
derful, slippery places where they
slid on their toeSes and sometimes
on their noses.
II know what III do TO make me
think Of Christmasl" gaily cried
Uncle Wiggily. I'll build me q
snow house.
Out back of the bungalow, where
there was plenty OF snow, Mr..
Loneears began to build the white
house. With a shovel he first piled
the snow into a great heap, or drift,
pointed at the top like Halloween
hat Then he dug hole on one
side Of the drift. scooped out all the
snow he could and soon he had
room enough so ne could go inside.
and there is even room for COM
pany if I should happen to have
any visitors" said the rabbit gentle
man as he made a chair out of
some old icicles. "I'll just sit here
and wait while TO see what hap
pens"
So Uncle Wiggily sat in mis- snow
house, on the icicle chair 1t was
cozy inside, but cold, for that's tho
way with snow houses. But Uncle
WigGily had on his warm fur coat
so he didn't mind.
After a while Mr. Longears heard
shifting and snuffing at the door
of his snow house.
"Ah.' he thought. "Here is COM
pany. Come in" he invited, poll
tely, and then he wished he hadn't
been 50 quick. For instead of good
company coming in there entered
the Fuzzy Fox, who was bad COM
pany.
