new BOOKLET
ON FL CENTRIC
NOW AVAILABLE

New booklets of FL Centro, The
City of Arcades,' prepared by the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce,
are off the press today and ready
for distribution. These booklets
have the same artistic covers in
blue and gold as the booklets the
chamber published two years ago,
and, while the text of the book is
similar, number of important
changes have been made in keep
ing with the growth and develop
ment of the city which is evidenced
in the past two years.
The new street scene, taken from
Fifth and Main streets, looking
west, has been substituted for the
former photograph from Fifth and
State streets, looking north. An
attractive photograph OF the new
Baptist church has also been added
to the page showing the churches
of FL Centro. Small insets of the
Boulder dam site and proposed
dam illustrate the page devoted
to future development and other
photographs include public build
ings and lodge buildings, the var
ious schools, several Main street
stores, banks, hotels, residences
and fruit and vegetable packing
scenes. All photographs are by Leo
Eetzel.
Changes in the business life of
the city include the taking over of
the Pickwick Stages by the Pacific
Greyhound lines and the coming
of the Natural Gas company and
the Borderland express. The
lighted Imperial county airport
was not featured in the last book
let as complete night lighting had
not yet been installed. Mention is
also made of improvement and in
crease in the hotels and business
houses, which has taken place III
the past two years, of the increased
number of attractive residences
and of the tree-planting and other
Identification projects which will
add to the attraction of Ell Centro
as city in which to live.
Dozens of letters, requesting in
/ formation concerning Ell Centro
are on file at chamber of commerce
headquarters, awaiting the arrival
of the new booklets. These letters
come from all parts of the United
States and some from foreign
countries and all have been re-
ceived without solicitation from the
chamber. The sending of city
booklets in answer to these in
quiries will serve to publicize Ell
Centre in all parts of the world
and these attractive new booklets
will undoubtedly interest many
prospective residents of Ell Centre
and Imperial Valley.

 Not a Record

Temperature marks were shat tered for the current season when the mercury tumbled to 10 de- grees above zero here early this morning, reaching that point be- fore 3.30 am. and, after climbing back one notch, dropped down to the low again about o'clock.
 This is one degree lower than was registered early last month when a new November mark of II above was set. The official pre- diction of the local U. s. Weather Bureau station for tonight was for slightly warmer weather but no pronounced break.
 Interior weather has moderated materially since yesterday, said R. c. Mize, Meteorologist in Charge. Eagle yesterday reported a maxi mum of 40 degrees below zero. To- day this had raised to 16 below. On this and other reported condi- tions in the Interior, a prediction for gradual modification here are made.
 Ten above lacks much of con- stituting a record for December cold in Juneau. Official records show many instances of colder temperatures here in past years for the same month. In December, 1916, an all-time low of IS degree es below zero was registered.
