almost matching point for point, an

COP KNOWS HOW
MOTORIST FEELS

Frank Smyer knows how it feels
now, and many motorist will get
chuckle of unholy glee out of the
fact the FL Centre traffic officer
received a ticket while yacationing
in Ontario, California.
Smyer had just stopped overnight
in Ontario. He wanted to put his
automobile in the hotel garage, but
g hotel attendant told him he would
take care of it.
So Smyer left the automobile in
front of the hotel, windows down
and key III the lock. Next morning
he went to the garage to get his
car. It was not there. He walked
around in front of the hotel, and
the car was still parked where he
left it.
But there in plain sight was a
traffic ticket.
The hotel people promised TO take
care of the ticket, but just TO make
sure no warrant would be issued for
his arrest, the e. Centro officer
paid a visit to the Ontario police
station.
Smyer arrived in e Centre two
days ago after week spent on
the coast.

SALINAS RODEO
INJURIES FAIL
TO HALT SPORT

SALINAS, July "a. U.P)-Cowboys
and girls of the old west rode again
today in the California rodeo, care
less, in the tradition of their breed,
of broken bones and bruises, and
furnishing as thrilling an exhibit
ton as any in the 20-year history
of this annual event.
The rodeo program went forward
today unmindful of injury to four
participants yesterday, when two
men and two girls were injured.
Donna Cowan, twice victor in
contests as the worlds best cowgirl,
suffered a broken hip and possible
internal injuries when a horse fell
and rolled ON her Mary Lee, l9,
San Diego, was thrown from a calf
and suffered a wrenched back.
Perry Ivory, third place winner in
last years worlds cowboy cham
pionship, had a leg broken when
thrown from a steer, and Ray East
er, driver of an OK team, broke a
leg-but it was artificial-when an
automobile hit his cart.
The program today included tie
usual thrilling rodeo stunts-bun
riding, bulldogging, races, bucking
horses, and all the spine tickling
events which make the spectators
alternately grip their seats and
throw their hats in the air.
The rodeo was host to a cowboy
of the air. today with the arrival
of Emery Bronte, navigator of
Ernie Smiths plane, the first civil

Rebound Sure
To Be Near Top

Smart" is Ine word that best
describes Rebound" which opened
last night at Fox Imperial Airdome
and which will be repeated twice
tonight.
? If Rebound" doesn't run well up
toward the top in selecting the
years best picture, those who saw
it last night will have poor OPT
Mon of the judges.
The acting is of the highest type,
the dialogue is sparkling and snap
by, the settings are well-nigh per-
feet, and the whole production
moves at a tempo that never per-
mits a tagging moment.
Ina Claire, in the leading feni-
nine role, is responsible for much
of the plays success, but she is ably
assisted by an excellent cast, with
Robert Ames as her leading man.
Each character in the play is pro-
vided with role that seems to suit
perfectly.
Rebound is one show that per-
sons can recommend to their friends
without fear of disappointing them.

SECRETARY GIVEN
SPLENDID PRAISE

Recognition of the splendid work
being done in Imperial Valley by
Mrs. Mae Sherry Winans, executive

Cross here, is contained in letters
received from headquarters OF the

In commenting upon Mrs. Win
ans reports of her activities IN

Pacific Coast area, said: I'VE are
truly astonished at the amount of
work done on the individual cases
and congratulate you on the splen-
did work you are doing with the
transient group
Mrs. Winans recently was asked
to prepare material for human in
terest stories to be published in the
Courier" Red Cross publication.
The stories as suggested would tell
of the people who seek aid from the
Red Cross in Imperial Valley and
the necessity that that organization
render civilian relief in the valley.
Most complimentary and graft
flying is a letter received from the
National Association of Travellers
Aid societies in which appreciation
and recognition of Mrs. Winans' un-
tiring energy, ability and compe-
tence are set forth.
She is asked to make a survey
of the care of transient families in
the state of Arizona for the travel
ers association. The work must be
done in few weeks time and since
Mrs. Winans lived in Arizona seve-
raj years, she is familiar with the
situation in several sections of the
state.
If Mrs. Winans is able to obtain
permission of the Red Cross organ
ization she will make the survey
during her vacation.

SEVEN REFEREES
GIVEN GATE BY
ATHLETIC BOARD

LOS ANGELES, July "a. (U.P) -
Unemployment struck at the ranks
of prizefight referees today with
both fists, and seven of the ring
arbiters were laid off by Dr. Harry
Martin. chairman of the state ath-
letic commission.
Included among the seven was
Benny Whitman, who called a draw
the Tommy Herman-Alfred Gaona
match at Olympic auditorium last
Tuesday. DR.. Martin added that
he was so soured at the decision he
was tempted to overrule Whitman
and give Gaona the decision.
Sports writer's were unanimous in
their belief that Gaona, Mexican
welterweight champion, had de-
feated Herman.
Other referees laid off we're Bob
White. John Mcdonald, Steve Ny
land, Clayton Frye, Frankie Dolan
and Charles Bergen.
That leaves just six licensed main
event referees in this state: Abe
Roth, Lieut.. Jack Kennedy, Billy
Burke, Freddie Gilmore, Larry Nc
Grath and Harry Lee.
Dr.. Martin said he planned to ask
these six to handle both prelimi-
naries and main events, his idea
being to. have them split the pre-
liminaries, toss for the main event
and split the combined fees.
The commission chairman will at
tend a monthly meeting OF the board
in Monterey tomorrow, when Anci
Hoffman's application for a pro-
motors license will come before tht
board.
Reinstatement of Max Baer ana
George Godfrey is likely.
