ACTIVITIES AT CENTRAL UNION

to hold its conferences at the same
time as the sectional meetings OF
the Agricultural Teachers assocla-
ton, as it did last Saturday at Es-
condido.
Paul Thornton, the agricultural
instructor at Central, spoke at the
Escondido meeting of this associa-
ton on the stock judging at the
Imperial Valley fair.
Mr.. Thornton and the two F. F. A.
representatives who went to the
meeting reported an interesting talk
upon the eradication of diseases and
insects by poisons and sprays
which must, however, be enforced by
strict quarantine laws. The Mediter-
ranean fruit fly and the japanese
beetle were used as examples.
In the blacksmithing classes, the
boys are fighting their projects OF
wrought iron work, since their
course in blacksmithing ends with
the semester. There are some really
beautiful tables with tile tops. Some
of the boys have used French tile
and some have used wood with a
design on it. Tea tables, radio
stands, and floor lamps are included
in the list of things which the boys
have made.
Those who have taken blacksmith
ing this first semester will take weld
ing the next, while those who took
n
ish the year with blacksmithing.
This arrangement is necessary be-
cause there is not enough equipment
TO accommodate at one time all those
registering for these subjects.
Some vitally interesting books are
included in the new shipment which
arrived recently for the school IL
brary.
Such publications as The Living
Past" and The Parade of the Liv-
ing" deal with the anthropological
and geological aspects of history.
THE Parade of the Living" espe-
cially, is a dramatic compilation of
facts concerning the rise and fall
Of consecutive animal dynasties, the
history of disease, sex, and repro
duction and the evolution of intel
ligence.
There is for those interested in
aviation a set of text books on that
subject and Sky Larking," which
tells more about the last romantic

AIRMAIL
! DRIVE MEETING
With SUCCESS

Daily increase of Is per cent in
air mail leaving the FL Centro post
office is reported by the postmaster
during the Today campaign now in
progress for the purpose of interest
ing the postmaster general in making
Imperial Valley a stop on the air
mail route.
All towns in the valley are keep
ing a record of all air mail leaving
their departments and the totals will
be sent to headquarters at the con-
clusion of the campaign. The dates
of the campaign are January l9 TO
%, inclusive.
"One reason for the satisfactory
increase in El Centre" the local
postmaster said today, 'is that realty
board members divided the business
district into sections and sent rep
resentatiyes of that organization to
each business man to remind him OF
the campaign and what a good air
mail total will mean to Imperial
Valley. The result of this personal
bit of solicitation was felt imme-
diately"
All citizens of the valley are urged
to make use Of air mail route when
ever it is possible in order that the
totals may be increased satisfac-
orily.

BETTER HIGHWAYS
w. c. COSTELLO,
Manager

Valley motorists, who have felt they
were taking their lives and those of their
passengers in their hands when they at
tempted to pass a large truck on the
Salton Sea route, will be greatly re-
lieved to know that such incidents will
soon be thing of the past, when the
present improvements on the highway
between Kane Springs and the northern
county line, are completed.
Hand in hand with the work of provid-
ing highway 20 feet wide, the state
highway department is eliminating those
scenic railway dips which have caused
many valleyite to arrive in Los Angeles
or back home with badly bumped cram
inum
The dips are being replaced by cul-
verts. E. @. Sullivan, in charge of Di-
vision No. 8, of the state highway de-
partment, states these dips We're once
considered adequate to carry off water
during the rainy season, but the depart
ment has found that culverts, though
costing more, are cheaper in the long
run.
An extensive protective system of
dikes, built back from the highway, is an
other safeguard the department is using
to protect the highway from floods.
The improved highway does not follow
the old route, but is so planned as to
eliminate dangerous curves. In many
places it is built above the adjacent coun-
try, as further protection from floods.
The DiXieland- Coyote Wells section of
the San Diego highway will also be inn
proved, contract for this work having al
ready been let. When difficulties over
the Coyote Wells-Shepherd's bridge sec
tion are Strengthened out, this route will
be opened.
Only the Holtville-Yuma route between
the highline canal and the sandhills, will
remain as narrow road. Eventually
this will be widened to at least 20 feet,
giving the valley thoroughly modern
routes to the east, north and west.
Narrow highways are nightmare, even
to experienced drivers. For timid motor
lists they are even worse, and their grad

FAIRNESS FOR PUBLISHERS

Newspaper publishers throughout the
state are hopeful that the Merriam news
paper libel bill will have better luck in
the Legislature this year than it had two
years ago when it failed of passage by
single vote.
The bill is designed to protect news
papers from unjust libel suits by permit
ting the publishers to show that the al
legged libelous article was published
through misinformation or mistake.
In such case the newspaper would
prove its good faith by publishing a re-
traction in the same place and with the
same sized type as used in the offending
statement. In this case plaintiff could
recover only actual damage.
Where such retraction is refused, the
bill provides that the libeled party may
recover actual, exemplary and special
damages.
No matter how carefully a newspaper
may check articles appearing in its col
umns, mistakes and errors are bound to
creep in. Sometimes these are the results
of wilful mistatements by unscrupulous
persons; they may be misunderstanding
arising from ordinary or telephone con-
versations; or they may be due to mae
curacies in reporting.
No newspaper wilfully wishes to make
a mistatement about anyone. The pen
alties for libel are too severe, even if the
ethics of the newspaper profession did
not seek to discourage such practices.
1t is most unfair to permit newspaper
to be sued for heavy damages when, act
ing in good faith, it has made only
natural error. Honest persons who may
be injured by an honest mistake, will not
seek to make profit out of the unfortun-
ate occurrence, and will be satisfied with
a retraction.
The bill has the support of the Califor-
mia Newspaper Publishers Association
and merits the support of all fair minded
citizens

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FROZEN
TURNlP

Uncle Wiggily stood on the steps
of his hollow stump bungalow,
twinkling his pink nose as fast as
he could. no..
Because if l twinkle it too slowly"
said the rabbit gentleman to him.
self, my pink nose may freeze. This
is a very cold day!"
Indeed it was as Uncle Wiggily
could tell, not only by the way his
ears felt, quite chilly SO TO speak
but because he could see his breath.
Every time he breathed out a white
cloud OF vapor, like fog, formed in
front of his mouth and nosea5- r.
What makes it so you see your
breath in winter when you can't
see it in summer?" asked Baby
Bunty, the little orphan rabbit who
was on her way to say her lessons
to the Lady Mouse Teacher in the
Hollow Stump School. Why can
you see your breath in winter. Un-
kie Wig?" And, having used all the
baby talk" she was allowed, Bunty
blew out some more of her breath
to look at.
Your breath is warm, coming as
it does from inside you" exclaimed
the rabbit gentleman, and your
breath is moist, or wet. When you
blow it into the wintry air the air
is so cold it freezes the water in
your breath and turns it into snow.
1t is really snow that you see and
not your breath"
Really truly snow?" asked Baby
Bunty, making many clouds of white
vapor in front of her mouth by
breathing out fast
"Yes, it is real snow, but the flakes
are SO tiny that they don't fall to
the ground. Perhaps it would be
more correct to say that the breath
you see in winter is cold steam, or
fog, instead of snow" went on the
rabbit gentleman. Though, if YOU
were at the North Pole, where it is
very cold, you might call your
breath snow.

eat"
Uncle Wiggily put the frozen tur-
nip in his pocket and hoped on.
But he had gone not much further
before. all of a sudden, out from be-
hind a big rock leaped the Fox, the
Wolf and the Bob Cat.
Grab himl" mewed the Bob Cat.
Hold him!" howled the Wolf.
"Nibble him!" barked the Fox,
who was almost like dog.
Don't nibble him here its too
coldl" chartered the Bob Cat. Let's
take him to your den, Foxie, and
nibble therei"
Sure howled the Wolf. No
sooner said than done! Uncle Wig
gily was pulled by the three Bad
Chaps to the den of the Fox. where
Mrs. Fox had made a blazing, hot
fire.
We'll" said Uncle Wiggily as he
sat before the cracking flames, Il
suppose you Bad Chaps are going
TO nibble me; aren't you?"
"Sure!" said the Fox, and the Bob
Cat and Wolf echoed: "Surei"
Before nibbling me-" begged Un-
Gle Wiggily politely. will you please
let me eat this turnip I found?"
That will do no HARM" said the
Fox. Go ahead and eat your tur-
nip" he invited. And to the other
Bad Chaps the Fox whispered: Let
him eat that turnip. It will make
him all the fatter"
Sure said the Bob Cat and the
Wolf.
Uncle Wiggily took the turnip
from his coat pocket and started to
eat it, when, all of a sudden, he
said:
Wait a minute. Bad Chapsl I
have just thought OF something l
want to tell you!" And what Uncle
Wiggily told the Bad Chaps you shall
hear tomorrow night. I can tell you
this much now - the rabbit gentle
man wasn't in the least nibbled -
not the least. And if the elephant
will please step on an egg without
breaking the shell I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's turnip trick.
