TRAFFIC LECTURE IMPORTANT

Those who believe that they do need to attend the
traffic lecture at the high school tonight because they
are good drivers, probably need the information and
advice they will get there more than many others.
Traffice experts know from experience that good
drivers responsible for many accidents. By this
particular type is meant those who have been driving
for years and who have become careless in their
ness of themselves They will take chances where the
more timd driver knows that he has to play safe.
Anyone who drives car has noticed good drivers
weaving in and out of traffic regardless of the rights
of others; has them drive up at fast speed to
boulevard stop and then slam on their brakes; has
watched them disregard warning signs around schools
and has even them signal incorrectly.
little talk on this last particular item alone would
be worth while. Watching in the business section al
most any day motorists who have been driv
ing for years give incorrect sgnas-and the drivers
not women.
Carelessness and the habit of taking chances are
sponsibe for the majority of auto accidents including
the fatal ones When coupled with speed they cause
of than 80 per cent traffic troubles accord
ing to surveys
Our traffic death toll has become national scandal
and lectures such the to be given tonight form
admirable and efficient means for driving home to
florists the fact that they must be careful.
Motorists will benefit by listening to experts tell
how this death toll may be reduced If they have young
steers they should by all have them attend the
lecture too, though juveniles do not need bit
than the grown-ups.

4 ROCKVCOD MEMORIAL

Supplen1enting the remarks made in this column last
week. relative to the board of trades desire provide
museum for Imperial Valley relics of pioneer days,
quite agree with Randall Henderson of the Calexi
Chronicle that the old lockwood headquarters at
CaeXco would be appropriate place for such col
lection.
The Chronicle points out that the lockwood head
quarters, formerly used by the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict the of most of Rockwoods labors and
it only fitting that it should be preserved for future
generations of valley residents.
Built of adobe 1t has been abandoned and unless
steps taken soon, it will go the way of many his
torical California adobe buildings.
lockwood has never been given due recognition by
the valley for his abors here. Ask 10 in the
who lockwood and it is almost certainty that
nine of them will admit they heard of him. The
tenth may know that he had something to do with the
early days of the valley, but few know, excepting the
old timers that Imperial Valley IS the result of the
heart, courage and engineering skill of Charles r.
lockwood.
Less deserving but ambitious men Tin a world
y sense) have usurped the honor and glory that justly
belong to lockwood. The pioneers who knew him per-
crate his memory. To the rest OF he is almost
known.
We think the Chronicles suggestion is splendid
particularly that the old adobe should be preserv
ed An empty building would not be fitting
lal but providing ed with relics and treasures Of
the early days when and women battled the ee-
ment to lay the foundations for the empire that is
ours is not doing any than duty and privilege.
Its too good suggestion to let die Randall. You,
as pioneer take the lead and we'll try to help you

Thomas Yopp, arrested by Con- stable Orville s. Ventres Sunday might for carrying a concealed wea- pon and endangering the safety of the community by firing it, appear ed before the town court last night and attempted to alibi himself. His wife, Mrs. Lorraine Yopp, testified that she was the one who had fired a pistol found on Yopp by Constable Ventres after the latter had heard two shots.
 Mrs. Yopp said she had been en- trusted with the gun by her mother in-law, and that her husband did sion. She had fired it twice into q pond, she testified. The elder Mrs. Yopp, owner or holder of the pis- to, testified that she was holding the gun as security for s10 which she had loaned to one Fred Will Hams several months ago. She had let her daughter law take it when all adults in the house had gone away from their home, thinking that it would be unsafe to leave it there with children around.
 Notwithstanding this story, Yopp was fined $50 by Judge George G Griswold and given 60 days in jail with suspension of the latter pen alty.
