GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Citizens of Ell Centro's Eastside set a
fine example of civic interest when
Negro National Health week was OBJ
served with splendid programs all last
week.
Addresses were made by various ply
sicians and health officials, and practi-
cal demonstrations in good health, clean
illness and personal hygiene were con-
Quoted in the schools and in public meet
ings.
Hand in hand with the health cam
paign those in charge of it conducted
clean up and Identification program,
encouraging the residents of the East
side to clean up their homes and yards,
and where it was possible, to plant
flowers and shrubs.
The results were entirely satisfactory
to all who participated. and the ground
was made ready for even more ambitious
programs in the future
The success achieved was made possi-
bic by the fine cooperation of all the
Eastside residents, but it had its stimu-
lus in the unselfish civic interest of a
small group of Eastside men and women
who more than play their part year in

Matter.

and year out, in helping to make Ell
Centro better place in which to live.
These citizens are deserving the ut
most in cooperation and encouragement
from the rest of the city. Were it not
for their interest, the Eastside would be,
as so many "Eastsides" area liabili-
ty to the city and not an asset.
The great majority of the Eastside
residents, who have not enjoyed the ad-
vantages of education nor the best of
environment during their lives, look to
these leaders for counsel and guidance
and they do not look in vain. Their
influence is the reason, more than the
presence of policemen, for the minimum
of crime that exists east of the railroad
tracks.
They are more than teachers, preach
ers and businessmen. Their realization
of civic duty extends beyond the hours
they spend in the class room, the pull
pit or their various enterprises, and
prompts them to take a real and active
interest in the welfare of their neigh
bors.
Not only are they fine examples for
their neighbors to follow, but their in
terest in behalf of El Centro might we'll
be a pattern for those living elsewhere
in the city to follow

Comedy Team In
New Nut Play

Fifty Million frenchmen" is the
title Of Warner Bros. picture which
opens for two nights at Fox Imper-

famous comedy team of Ole Oleson
and Chic Johnson, who have had
a long career in vaudeville, the
stage and motion pictures.
Their original farce, Monkey

to which they have added by con-
tinued successes. There is a saying
Fifty million Frenchmen can't be

when it comes to checking up the
laughs of this pair OF nuts.
They are aided by William Gax-

in BATTLE AT
COUNTY JAIL

Five prisoners from the county
Jail today are in the county hosital
with stab wounds because one of
their number last night ran amuck
with pair of BARRIERS shears,
wounding four men and then turn
ing the shears on himself before fel-
low prisoners knocked him out with
a broom handle.
B. Bascadillo, Filipino, who is
awaiting trial on charge of con-
tributing TO. the delinquency of a
minor, apparently went mad when
teased by fellow prisoners. Snatch
ing up the scissors, used to cut the
prisoners hair, the Filipino attacked
his cell mates.
Floyd Nelson was stabbed in the
abdomen. Wounds of various de-
grees of seriousness were inflicted
on Bill Adams, William B. Craig and
R. D. Jones. All will recover.
A charge of assault with deadly
weapon will probably be lodged
against BascadiHo.
Elmer Waters and Claiborne
Poole, night jailers, were attracted
by the screaming in the cell and
rushed down just as other prisoners
in the tank knocked Bascadillo out
with the broom stick.

PUDDLE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the woods one day looking
tor an adventure when he saw, COM
ing home from school, many of the
animal boys and girls. Among them
he notice Baby Bunty, the little
orphan rabbit; Jackie and Peetie
Bow Wow, the puppy dogs; Billie
Wagtail, the goat, and some Of the
rabbit boys and girls from the hol-
low stump bungalow.
There is Buster and Custer, and
Jingle and Jangle,' said Uncle Wig
gily to himself hiding behind sas-
safras bush. The old rabbit gentle
man wanted to see what the ami
NAL children would do and he want
ed to hear what they would say
when they did not know he was
near.

goat went "Baa-aal Baa-aa@ al
most ike Mary'S little lamb.
Uncle Wiggily hoped out from
behind the saSSafraS bush, twink
led his pink nose and said:
Il wonder what it is that's so big
and wonderful behind the fence. I
must take a look after the children
go away"
Mr.. LongearS watched the animal
boys and girls as they ran to look
behind the fence. He heard some
of them say:
oh, isn't it bigl"
And so full, tool"
And I guess it's very sticiy!'
said Baby Bunty.
Dear me, I wonder what it is?''
murmured Mr.. Longears. Some
thing big and stick and full and SO
large that all the children together
couldn't jump over 1t. I wonder if
it's a jolly circus elephant
But Uncle Wiggily knew that it
was a bit too early for the circus
TO come TO Woodland, so he tried to
guess what else it might be that the
children were looking at behind the
fence. At last Buster, Custer, Jingle,
Jangle and all the others came into
sight again and some Of them said
oh, it's wonderful
The largest l ever saWl'
It's much larger than the one 1
meant said Baby Bunty.
Il told you SOL" chuckled Buster.
And Jackie Bow Wow barked:
But what good is it?'
No one could answer. Then, as
the children ran on through the
woods, Uncle Wiggily was very Gu
rious to see what they had been
looking at behind the fence. He
went to see for himself and what
do you think he saw? Yes, you have
guessed it. A mud puddle left by
the rain.
But it was a very large, muddy
mud puddle. 1t was thick with
sticky mud and as Mr.. Longears
looked at it ne said:
Baby Bunty was right, that is
very sticky. And it is SO big that
even an Australian kangaroo could
not jump over it. Wonderful
Uncle Wiggily said the last word
out loud as he came from behind
the fence from having looked at the
big mud puddle, and right then and
there he saw the Woozie Wolf.
What is so big and wonderful
behind the fence?" growled the
Wolf. @...
"Oh, nothing you would care
about" answered Uncle Wiggily. 1T
isn't any good for you to eat or
nibble. Let it alone"
Hal you are trying to fool me-"
howled the silly Wolf. There is
something good to eat behind that
fence and you don't want me to
have it. But I'll get it! Stand aside
and I'll get it," Rudely the Wolf
pushed Uncle Wiggily to one side
and ran fast behind the fence.
The Wolf ran so fast that, before
ne could stop himself, he had run
right into the big, sticky mud pud-
die up TO his neck and unless his
wife came to pull him out the Wolf
is stuck there yet.
"Hal Ha," laughed the rabbit
gentleman as he hoped home. II
told you there was nothing good to
eat behind that fencel Hal Hal
But the Wolf didn't laugh. He
could not. His mouth was full of
mud. And If the soap doesn't pull

Strickland was the stronghold of the
El Centro team, doing perhaps the
best work of any El Centro player
on the field. Smyer, before becom-

periods after illness began to weak

drop out.
The Yuma team was composed Of

These players alternated throughout
the game with Foreman and Finne-
gan.
The El Centro team was composed

LOCAL P0LOISTS
HOLD YUMA TO
CLOSE SCORE

Strange as it may seem, the e
Centre polo team yesterday after
noon came away rejoicing after a
/ to defeat at the hands of the
Yuma team on the Yuma field.
This spirit of JOY was manifest
because the El Centrans were secure
In the knowledge they had played
the best game Of polo since organ
ization of a squad here, and had
held the Yuma team that downed
them, 10 to 2, at the fair grounds
here in January to four meagre
goals.
Hard riding that resulted in three
minor casualties marked the game
yesterday afternoon. Players and
horses were exhausted after the six
periods of the game.
Johnny Donohue, captain, was re-
sponsible for El Centro's one goal,
which was the first Of the game,
when he pushed the ball between
the goal posts after Frank Smyer
brought it into position. For the
first half of the game the El Cen
trans looked to have more than an
even chance for victory. At the end
of the third period the score was
] to !.
Brady of Yuma furnished large
crowd of spectators with a thrill
when he went over his horses head
after horse and man had collided
forcibly with one of his own team
mates. In the scuffle the horse
stepped on Brady's hand, with the
result he was unable to play the
rest of the game.
In the fifth chukker Frank Smyer
OF e. Centro, hardly recovered from
an attack of flu, became Ill and had
TO retire. Since only four players
we're on hand from El Centro, Juan
MOI ales, No. l on the Mexicah Of
ficers' team, agreed 10 take his place
o. the lCcal team. Morales playing
was q great help to El Centro, al
though 10 goals were scored after
lis entrance into the game.
In spite OF the injury to Brady's
nand, Smyer's illness and a dislocat-
ID shoulder suffered by Ed Fitzhugh
