Leonardo Sierra had a letter

that his car was equipped with glar-

USE OF AIRMAIL URGED TO
INDUCE PLANE STOPS HERE

IF the people of El Centro and
Imperial Valley want airmail planes
tc stop here they must show the
need of airmail by the use of air
mail. This seems a paradox said
r. 3. Whitelaw, president Of the

it is nevertheless true, Arizona

tinued, Ito determine their need OF

the communities in that state are
doing everything possible to pro-
mote the use of airmail. FL Centro

stated, have the same opportunity
now of demonstrating our need tor

is lighted and beaconS and emergen-
cy landing fields are established
along the route, the mail is being
flown during the daylight hours
The plane on the Southern Trans
continental airmail route leaves Los
Angeles early in the morning and
makes it's first stop at Phoenix.
While these mails are flown during
daylight, El Centre enjoys just as
fine an airlnail service as does Los
Angeles and San Diego because we
have an opportunity, after the close
Of the business day and up to $3.50
/. m. to send airmail out, leaving El
Centro by rail and connecting with
the plane which leaves Tucson ct
1923 the next morning. There, air.
mail letters posted in El Centro the
day before, join the airmail accumu-
lated in Los Angeles the day before
so that we are exactly on parity
with Los Angeles and San Diego, as
long as the southern airmail is flown
during the daylight.
Our objective now should be- HI:
