O. E. s. DRILL TEAM
WILL VISIT VALLEY

Tomorrow evening in the Masonic
Temple at Brawley an event of spc-
cial importance to the Eastern Star
chapters of this district will occur:
a school of instruction will be held
for the l26 officers of this district,
embracing the five valley chapters
and the two of Blythe and Coaehella
by the Southern California Drill
Team of Los Angeles.
This drill team, organized and di-
rected by Mrs. Elizabeth Bettina
Wheeler, past grand matron. and
composed of present grand officers,
past grand elective officers and 9TH
ers especially proficient in the pre-
sentation of the ritualistic work of
the order, exempiifies the work
throughout the southern part of the
state during each year. Due to spe-
cial arrangement made by Mrs. Mvra
Moyse, worthy grand matron, the
valley chapters are fortunate this
year in having this drill team come
to instruct their officers in the rit-
ualistic work.
Although the school of instruction
is for the Officers and the close OBJ
servancc of the work forbids a too
crowded audience, the past matrons
and patrons have received a special
invitation to attend. However, all
Officers and past matrons and pa
irons arc reminded that they must
present their receipts to secure ad-
mission.

NEWS REVIEW OF

President Hoover Talks of
Problems and Policies
in Three Speeches.
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD

THREE public addresses in two
4 days gave President Hoover oppor-
tunity to say a lot of things about our
problems, our institutions and our
prospects. His utterances on each oc-
casion were dignified and well consid
cred; they were praised by his admir-
ers and fellow Republicans, and BELT
tied by some Democrats and others who
do not agree with his national policies.
Speaking before the convention of
the American Legion in Boston, the
President told the Legionnaires that
the ideals and purposes of their organ
izatiOn must be translated into cold
realism of the day to day task Of citi-
zenship; and he reminded them that
the Legion is consecrated by its con-
stitution to the high purpose Of up
holding the laws of the country. He
touched on preparedness, and said
that real peace in the world requires
something more than treaties, that all
International good will is founded on
mutual respect among the nations.
MIR. Hoover expressed warmly the
nations gratitude to the men who
served in the World war and its SYM
pathy for wounded and disabled vet
Grams. He continued:
TN addition to disqualification, re-
Mobilization, war risk insurance, ad-
justed compensation, and priority in
civil service. the government has un-
dertaken through disability allowances
to provide for some 100000 veterans
of the World war. Our total outlays
on all services to World war veterans
are nearing $600,OOO,OOO a year and
to veterans of all wars nearly $780,
100000 per annum.
"The nation assumes an obligation
when it sends its sons to war. The
nation is proud to requite this obliga-
ton within its full resources. have
been glad of the opportunity to favor
the extension of these services in such
a manner that they cover without
question all cases of disablement
whether from war or peace. D
There is, however, deep RESPONSE
pllty VI citizenship III TIE duInlHlSIra-
ton of this trust of mutual helpful
ness which peculiarly lies upon your
members, and that is that the de-
mands upon the government should
not exceed the measure that justice
requires and self-help can provide. If
we shall overload the burden Of tax
alton we shall stagnate our economic
progress and we shall by the slacken-
ing Of his progress place penalties up
on every citizen"
