were silent also, and grim. Eight Arce1o
months lay before them. without even the
comfort of a portable wireless set for commune
cation with the forces of the railroad, across
the intervening universe of the Barrens. The
sharp commands Of Jimmy Davis revealed an
evidence Of strain The work Of the men had
leSsened. There was only one thought In
20 minds: OF how they would weather the
Winter.
THEN, after hard day. q new whine came
into the wind rising steadily to n blasting
roar. with the white enemy Of free1e-up driving
straight before it. Careening, St0rm-tossed men
hurried to the shelter Of the combined cache
house and mess hall That night, Joe BroaSert
piled the rusty stove tight with wood and
prepared for his getaway, but rs he worked.
he again found himself glaring at the glowing
bit of metal, with it's acrid smoke darttng be-
tween the cracks.
But suddenly he halted his thoughts and
swung about. arms extended as IL to hide the
evidences of packing about him. Some. one was
kicking the snow from his boots at the door.
The latch raised. It was Davis. .s-a 80 III
Hello" ne said in tone Of surprise.

Joe Brossert swallowed jerkiIy.
Twas just coming down TO tell you" he
said at last II guess I'd better be moving On.
You see everybodys running through the bush
here; can't get anything in my traps"
Davis stood for moment in quizzical sur
vey. Then he moved impulSively forward and
grasped Joe BrosSert's huge arms.
Look here Cheerful" he commanded.
Don't you know that it's up to you whether
any of us live through this Winter or not?"
"Me?' the man stared. up to me?" He
laughed. Il amt use to anybody"
YOU'RE just this much use. that If you
should go away we'd all have a hard time
pulling through. You're accustomed TO it,;
you're old-timer up here"
"Yeh. I've been up here a long time" Joe
said. 1t was his most frequent lie.
That's why we need you" Davis said. Il
came I'D to talk about it. EverybOdys get
ting a little Sourer every day--they'I be at
one another's threats in another month if We
can't get their minds of it. They'll listen to
you. You know-you're an example. You've

Sure you could You could shame them

have something to lean on"
Joe Brossert rubbed nervously at his stub

Davis faced him. II thought this project
looked pretty big to you. DO you want to SEQ

It made Brossert think suddenly Of Heaiy,
moving forward with the rails.
Maybe some Of them'n come through this

How'll they get through? For what? The

CREDIT TALK
GIVEN BEFORE
KWANIS CLUB

Credit was the subject of a talk
given by C. w. Remele at Kiwanis
club luncheon at the Barbara Worth
Country club yesterday noon.
Many individuals are inclined to
abuse liberal credit extended to
them, Remele said. He suggested
that merchants apply more rigid
scrutiny to credit at present on ac-
count of the condition of business.
Children should be taught to
handle their finances from an early
age, as this is one of the big prob
lens of life," said the speaker.
Announcement was made of the
committees in charge of arrange
ments for the bridge dinner Kiwa-
mans are to give Rotarians and
their wives on Monday night. XII
wanians lost in the golf tournament
and as the losing club must enter
tain the winners.
President w. j. Reid said he an
ticipated 100 per cent attendance
of Rotarians and asked that XII
wanians provide 100 per cent attend
ance to greet them.
Harry Becker entertained with
two highly enjoyed vocal selections
during the luncheon hour. Robert
Graham was chairman of the day.

AIR SERVICE TO
Be INAUCURATED
HERE SHORTLY

According to colbert Hays, mana
ger of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, Ell Centro and Imperial
Valley may have within the next 80
days an air passenger and express
service with three round trips per
day between Ell Centro, San Diego
and Los Angeles. G. H. Kramb,
general manager of the line, which
is already maintaining a San Diego
Los Angeles service, spent yesterday
at chamber of commerce headquar-
ters comforting with the chamber
directors concerning the establish
ment OF the new service.
AS announced by Hays, the COM
pany will use Ogden Osprey, six
passenger, tri-motored ships of lat
est design. These planes are manu-
factured in Los Angeles and are said
to provide the utmost in safety and
comfort for passengers. The pro-
posed schedule will give Imperial
Valley an air service which they
have never before enjoyed, that is,
an early morning plane, leaving the
Imperial County airport at approxi-
mately $3.50 or 7 a. m, and arriving
in Los Angeles at a. M, stopping
at San Diego enroute. There will
be ship leaving Los Angeles about
6 p. m, at the close of the business
day, which will bring business men
to Ell Centro at p. m. In addition,
there will be plane leaving Los
Angeles at approximately 10 o'clock
each morning and another at about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon. Return
ing westbound ships will leave I'M
perial Valley at in the afternoon
and again at p. m, arriving in Los
Angeles in time for passengers to
keep dinner and theatre engage
ments. With such a service Imperi-
al Valley will enjoy communications
with the coast which they have
never before had.
Small package business, with
three deliveries day each way, will
provide an emergency service to all
users of merchandise which has been
hitherto unknown here. The COM
pany already has receiving depots
at San Diego and at Los Angeles
with messenger deliveries in those
cities and the same service will be
provided in Ell Centre. 1t is con-
templated that on one of the trips
each day the planes will land at the
Calexico, and Brawley ports as well
as the Imperial County airport, to
give service to all valley cities. The
planes will remain overnight at the
Imperial County airport.
Rates to be established will be the
lowest yet provided here for air
transportation, the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce manager states.
The Ell Centro chamber is con-
stantly in communication with air
transportation companies and did
everything possible to build service
for the former companies which
operated passenger service to Inn
perial Valley, believing that this
community needs and can support
an air passenger line and Hays
states that he believes this proposed
service would best suit the needs
of the valley cities.

MANY WATCH
MYSTERY CAR
PERFORM HERE

One of the most interesting per-
formances ever seen in local auto
mobile circles started yesterday with
the four-day engagement of the
mysteriously driven WHY'S, in the
showrooms of Davis Motors, Inc,
679 Main street. El Centre, local
dealer of the Willys line of auto,-
mobiles.
The car was officially started at
IL O'Clock Friday morning by Mayor
Fawcett. When the ignition switch
was turned on and the starter
pressed, the car paused few sec
onds before starting its run from
the rear of the room to an incline,
and as it reached the top of the in
cline platform it stopped just before
the front bumper reached the plate
glass window. Then the car backed
down the incline to the point from
which it started, and with the mo-
tor purring smoothly, paused a few
seconds before repeating the run
across the salesroom floor.
Showroom visitors were amazed at
the uncanny precision exercised by
the mysteriously- driven WHY'S as it
performed its battling feats. Many
visited the showrooms all during the
day while the car was in operation,
and during the intervals between its
driving periods crowded about the
car in hope of seeing the source of
the control.
Three two-hour operation periods
are scheduled for every day while
the car is appearing, according to
r. B. King, manager of Davis Mo-
tors, Inc, sponsoring the run. The
times are as follows: II a. m. to l
p. m. 3 p. m. to p. m; and z to 9
in the evenings.
Everyone in the city is invited to
visit the showrooms and watch the
car in operation.

Another Section
OF Sewer Falls

Giving added evidence of the
need of new outfall sewer line for
Ell Centro, collapse of another 25
foot section of the citys sewer line
one mile north of Imperial today
caused employment of a crew of
men to rush repairs on the line.
Decay of mortar caused by the
septic action of sewage is given as
the reason for the collapse of the
section of pipe. City Engineer Phil
Knights today stated that repair
work will be carried through as soon
as possible.
He cited this collapse of the sewer
line, the second of its kind in re-
cent months, as cumulative evidence
of the pressing need for a new sew
er line from Ell Centro. Plans for
such a line are now under conSid-
Grafton, and should be complete in
three or four months.
The latest collapse of the sewer
almost caused closing of the line
carrying sewage from El Centro.
