CHAMBER URGES
EMPLOYMENT OF
LOCAL CITIZENS

In an effort to keep Ell Centre
and Imperial Valley people en-
ployed the El Centro Chamber of
Commerce is contracting all con-
struction companies and vegetable
growers and shippers operating here
urging that local labor be given the
preference in cities and in the fields
this fall and winter. Both the Off
cials of the Pacific Greyhound lines
and the contractor in charge of the
construction of the new Ell Centro
stage terminal have been asked to
employ local workers on this struc-
ture. "a AE'HlB
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centro chamber wrote as follows:
I'VE are urging you at this time in
your sub-contracts to specify that
Imperial Valley labor be used SO
far as possible. l need not direct
your attention to the situation ex-
isting here and to the large number
of idle men in the building trades,
and it will be of much assistance TO
this community If you will be inSiS-
tent that all workers on this struc-
utre shall be permanent residents of
Imperial Valley and shall have re-
sided in this county for at least
year. We find that many new
comers, when interrogated in re,
gard to their residence here, will
say, I reside in Imperial Valley,
when they really mean that they
have arrived thai afternoon and
taken a hotel room. If you will
specify bonafide Imperial Valley Ia
Dor on this building, you will be
performing an important public
service which will receive the appre-
citation of the entire community
Similar letters have been written
to the highway department heads
and those in charge of state high
way work in Imperial County and
if the plan inaugurated by I. A.
Thomas last spring is followed out
this fall there will be no men en-
ployed on highway construction who
have not resided in Imperial Valley
long enough to have become bona
fide residents of this community
states Hays.
An effort is also being made to
have local men who maintain
homes in Imperial Valley employed
during the lettuce season in packing
and picking and Hays has been as
sured that the policy of the federal
employment agency, soon to open
in Ell Centro, will be to find posi-.
tions for local men before men are
brought in from outside sections to
work during the lettuce season.

OREGON TO FACE
TROJAN ELEVEN
WITHOUT STAR
BY GEORGE ii. BEALE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Oct. II. U.P) -
The University of Oregon football
team, hammered by the loss of Joe
Lillard, its stellar negro halfback,
was to face the University of South
ern California eleven in Olympic
stadium this afternoon.
Southern California supporters
refused to believe that the ineligi-
bility of Smoky Joe" would serious
ly hamper the Webfeet, and pointed
to the fact that DR. Clarence Spears,
during the two weeks Lillard has
been under fire, has had ample time
to reyamp his scoring machine.
AS a result, the outcome of the
game was still a tossup, with the
Trojans slight fayorites to win be-
cause OF their impressive showings
agUlst Washington State College
and oregon Aggies.
Should the Eugene eleven manage
to get by the Trojans today the Pa
cific coast conference title would
appear to be their plum, with only
the weaker U. C. l.. a and Oregon
State teams remaining in confer
ence battles.
The Webfeet showed themselves
to be the class of the northwest
with fine 13 to victory over
Washington last week.
The Trojans, after a faltering
start, seemed again to have earned
their appellation of last year, THE

Edward Nelson, 16, and Burton
Jacquith. 16, are held in custody
here today pending arrival of
authorities from Long Beach to take
them back there as runaWays.
Arrested by city police last night,
the boys at first told story of
family financial difficulties that
made them decide to go "on their
own"
A telegram to Long Beach, how
ever, brought the information they
ran away from their homes there.
The boys declared they bought
the car they were driving in San
Diego. They had $210 when they
left Long Beach, one said. Ques-
toned as to where the money came
from, they at first contended they
earned 1t, but later one admitted the
money had been stolen from a Wom-
and in the coast town.

Bruins Playing
At Northwestern
BY SAM KNOTT
United Press Staff Correspondent

EVANSTON, Ill, Oct. IT. UP
NorthWesterns powerful football
team, apparently headed for an
other Big Ten championship today
tested its strength for the first time
against a Pacific Coast eleven. The
u. of California at Los Angeles,
coached by Bill Spaulding, former
Minnesota mentor. opposed the
wildcats.
Coach Dick Hanley planned to
start the same team which held
Notre Dame to a scoreless tie last
week with one exception. Ed
Manske, sophomore, has been ele-
waited to the role of regular left end
in place of Eylar.
Although U. C. L. As line
matched Northwestern in the mat

New Clock On
Duty At Jail

No longer will there be room for
argument in the sheriff's office as
to whether a deputy is on time. or
heated debate as to whether the
Jail clock or some officers watch
gives the correct time.
In the past Benjamin the jail
clock, has been known to be five
minutes fast, or 10 minutes slow, or
something to that effect, quite often.
In fact it was seldom Benjamin
was exactly correct.
But yesterday Benjamin was re-
moved from the place of honor on
the wall, and a smaller but more
efficient electric clock took its place.
Guaranteed to keep the right time,
the new clock will no longer permit
of argument.

has now published Mr.. Sanders
summary of his two-year survey
of 6l7 summer camps. 1t is Of
prime interest to parents and
educators and all who take an
interest in child health and
safety. 1t gives information on

The book shows that camps,
on the whole. are both safe and

Good camps have medical at

sanitary conditions are of a su

ARIZONA CATTLE AND RANGES

Beef cattle on Arizona ranges
ar in four percent better condi
ton than the tive-year average
for July, according to a report
made by M. R. Wells, agricul
tural statistician for the United
States department of agriculture
and the condition of ranges is
six per cent better than the five
year average.
Both are rated at 80 per cent
of normal, while the five year
average for cattle is 86 per cent
and for the ranges 81 per cent.
The condition of sheep is given
at 80 per cent of normal while
the five year average for July is
given at 90 per cent.
"Although old feed is becom
ing some what dry it still contains
considerable nourishment and
cattle and sheep are holding up
WE'LL" the report states. Light
showers over Arizona at the end
Of June afforded a measure of
relief from the drying winds of
the month. Summer grass has
a good start and there should
be plenty of fail feed. Even at
this time some range fat beef is
to be found in almost every sec
tion of the state"
The map accompanying bis re
port shows that range conditions
are best ia Apache and Mohave
counties and poorest in Maricopa
and Pima at this time.

-RANCIs LEE STUART, the new president

If we have the foresight and energy TO grasp it."
Needs Neglected.
Later talking to the writer, Stuart elaborated
this statement as follows
II think 1t must be admitted Of engineers,
generally speaking, that hitherto they have not
studied sufnciently the needs of men, except
through practical operations in technical mat
terS and materials.
'I do not believe that engineers should be
sharply criticized for this failure The fact Is
that the world ct large, and even engineers
portance Of engineering in the scheme OF modern
have been busy with theAvery FIRST essential Of
exiStence-the development of our countrys
natural resources. This could be accomplished
only through the constant application OF engt-
neering resources in practical ways. In his inn
memorial role as the agent of the statesman and
the industrialist, the engineer was kept much
too busy to venture far outside the confines OF
his technical activities
Greed Is Human Aid.
Modern utilization of the products of science
and invention, in connection with latter-day
social demands revealed the essential vitality OF
the engineers role. Hence, today he measures
himself and perceiveS the tremendous possible
ties for humSN service inherent in him and his
profession
eff we engineers set down our creed today, it
Is that we must give the same quality Of thought
to matters OF public policy and human interest
that we have given formerly to the prosecution
of material projects. SO it Is. as president Of
the American Society Of Civil Engineers, that
feel it my duty to say to all other engineers,
whatever their field of effort We must take our
place in the formation of the public policies
upon which our happiness depends I believe
that in thus speaking I will encounter no dis
approving mind"

To the writer, this latter statement is q very
important one. There are IA 900 civil engineers
in America and a vast number OF other KINDS
of engineers II Stuart's conclusions are echoed
in the minds Of his fellows, obviously tremen-
dous force, intellectual, spiritual and moral, Is
developing in the world, with unlimited POSI-
bilities for good. .

perienced members of the profession, but by
those having long records of Important achieve
ment, by men whose works and whose eminence
give validity to their words. Geniuses like Stuart
DR.. Arthur D. Little, Prof. John Fillmore Swain
and DR.. Willis Whitney, whose lengthy service
has not weakened their perennial aliveneSs are
the sort Of leaders young men like to follow.
Stuart's declarations should be peculiarly in
spring to the latest generation Of engineers,
especially, for these have been born in what he
says should be called the Engineering Age. They
are conscious that In them and their profession
are conferred the intellectual abilities capable-f
actively employed-of solving many of the prob
lens which have defed the statesman and the
sociologistC problems which must be solved if
mankind is to progress.
Part Time to State.
Equally significant Is the fact that it Is no
acquiescent mood of service urged by Stuart but
one firmly and actively initiative.
I'm this day and age" he says ut would seem
to be the engineers obligation to dedicate a part
Of his life to the benefit of mankind, and to give
Of his time and talents to the State. 1t Is
duty he owes to himself, his profession and bis
country to be eager for public service.
