PRESS, INC.
HELPING FUTURE WOMEN
w. c. COSTELLO,
Manager

Starting today and continuing through
out the week, the County Y. w. c. A.
will conduct a campaign throughout I'M
erial Valley, for the purpose Of raising
funds to carry on its work during 1881.
Chief among the activities of the \.
". c. A. is the Girl Reserve organiza-
zion, doing work among schoolgirls SIM
liar to that which the Boy Scouts does
among their brothers.
Imperial county's quota is set at
SI,972.O2 of which amount $3.50 has
been assigned as Ell Centros quota.
Realizing the need of economy, the \.
w. c. A. has pared and pinched its bud
get to the last possible cent. As econ
omy measures, the annual banquet has
been eliminated, no delegation will be
sent to the Asilomar conference, and
expenses of administration have been
cut to the lowest minimum consistent
with efficiency.
With a dearth of activities to interest
the growing girl existing in Imperial
Valley, the Girl Reserve organization
fills a real need. Through example and
guidance it teaches the girls self reli-
ance. industry and aids them in proper
recreational and physical activities, nor
does it neglect the spiritual
ITO seek and give of the best, Is the
dnselfish motto of the Girl Reserves.
Not merely to seek the best and be sat-
isfied with holding it for ones self, but
to share that which is obtained with
others.
While the bulk of the Girl Reserve
work centers around their daily lives in
the grammar and high schools, much of
their training is carried on through
weekend visits and summer sessions in
their camp at Hipass, in the San Diego
mountains.
Here the girls learn to put to prac-
tical use, the things taught them by the
organization. True democracy reigns at
the camp, each girl being ION her own,
under careful supervision. Through as
sociation with other girls they have
first hand object lessons in courtesy,
charity, mutual hespfulness and come
to know the satisfaction that comes from
good work well done.
The Girl Reserves of today are lmper-
ial Valleys mother OF the future. Sure
~ they merit the practical, as well as the
moral support Of valley residents. In

UNCLE WICGILY'S ROSE
BEADS

Where are you going, Uncle
Wiggily?" asked the rabbit gentle
man s wife one morning on the
second day of February, as she saw
him open the front door of his hol-
low stump bungalow.
~ am going to see Mr. Stubtail,
the bear gentleman, answered Mr..
Longears. AFTER that I may call
on Mr.. Chuck, the grounding.
my! You certainly are going to
be busy!' exclaimed Mrs. Longears.
Are you going to call on the bea-
and grounding and get them to go
adventuring with you?'
mot exactly" said Uncle Wig
gily. "Those two gentlemen animal
friends of mine are going to have
some adventures of their own to-
day
"What sort of adventures? ask
ed the rabbit lady.
"Well, as you know went on
her husband, ''this is Candlemas
Day, or as some call it Grounding
Cay. Though, for the matter of that
it could be called Bear day.
"Oh, yes, now 1 knowl" exclaim-
ed Mrs. Longears. This is the

weeks more of cold, snowy weather
or we may not 1t all depends oil
the shadows of the bear or ground
hog, doesn't it?"
"That's it, Uncle Wiggily an
sWered. 1T is a very old saying
that if, on Candlemas day the bear
comcc out Of his den and the sun
shines enough so he can his shad-
ow, he becomes frightened and hur-
ries back into his den where he
stays for six weeks
'But if the sun doesn't shine, -
went on Mrs. Longears, land If the
bear, or grounding, doesn u see any
shadow they will not be afraid and
they will stay out of their dens, or
perhaps not go very far in. And
then spring will come in four weeks
instead of six.
yes agreed Uncle Wiggily,
'sthat is the old story. How true 1t
is I dom know. But many of my
friends believe if the sun shines
enough today so that a bear or
grounding can see a shadow there
will be still six weeks more of win
ter. But if it is cloudy then we shall
have but four weeks
"Then I hope the sun doesn u
shine,o spoke Mrs. Longears, "tho
7 love a bright day better than a
cloudy one. But why are you going
to call on Mr.. Stubtail and Mr..
Chuck?'
81 want to ask them to stay IN
their dens until the sun goes under
q little cloud, that is if the sun
shines at ALL" said the rabbit.
"Then. when I see that they can y
notice their shadows on the ground
I'll tell them to come out and, see
ing nothing of which TO be afraid,
they will stay out for the four weeks
more we may have of winter. You
see they must come out of their
dens on Candlemas Day anyhow
But it is better if they come out
when the sun doesn't U shine"
Eyes, I suppose so,' agreed the
rabbit lady. "Well, hop along and
visit your friends. And I hope you
have luck making them stay in
their dens until there is no chance
Of seeing any shadow. -
..eI hope so myself" said Uncle
ii over the fields
