COMPLAINT MADE
TO STATE UPON
ROAD BLASTING

A request has been made by Rob-
ert Hays, manager of the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce, to S. v.
Cortelyou, division engineer of the
state highway department, with
headquarters in Los Angeles, that
relief be afforded Imperial Valley
motorists from the situation pre-
vailing every Monday morning be-
tween Jacumba and the top of the
Mountain Springs grade.
Mattich Bros, who have the con-
tract for repaving the sector of
highway which includes Jacumba,
are accustomed to set off blast
every morning al about 7 o'clock.
At that hour on Monday morning
there are great numbers of Imper-
ial Valley residents hurrying home
from weekend trips, Hays explain
ed to Cortelyou. The blast dis
lodges quantities of rock and earth,
which shower upon the present
highway. Motorists, up to hum
dred cars each Monday morning,
have had to await the clearing of
their road. The delay is some
times an hour long.
In his communication to the high
way engineer the chamber of COM
merce secretary stated: Surely,
on Monday mornings, Mattich can
fire his blast earlier or later. 1t
seems very wrong that the work
or so many persons, many of them
xrrlz nd hxy
time-clock rules, should be thus
discommoded week after week.

since this contractor started his

ing near the divide between Jacum-
ba and Boulder Park, although the
delays we're of similar duration.
But now, with his work going on
just 200 yards south of Boulder
Park, there are 100 cars turned
loose all at once to go down the
Mountain Springs grade pell nell.
1t is a wonder that there have
not been serious accidents with so
many cars descending all at once,
each driver jockeying for position.
This morning, at Shepard's bridge,
nearly 10 miles further on, the cars
were still so close together that 1
observed seven machines on the
structure at the same moment,
practically bumper to bumper, all
going at goodly speed.
II feel certain" Hays concluded,
"that you can and will remedy this
condition on Monday, mornings. 1

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
OLD CAT

Jingle whispered to Jangle:
What do you S'pose is the mat
ter with Daddicums?"
Jangle whispered to Jingle;
II don't know. Isn't he stranger"
He certainly is, said Buster,
who heard what his sisters said.
Taking the first swing away from
Baby Buntyl'
Uncle Wiggily had made his chill
dren a grapevine swing in the
woods as I told you in the story
last night. But when it came time
for the first swing, and all the other
children had said Baby Bunty, the
little orphan, should have it, Mr..
Longears hoped toward the swing
himself and said:
mol 1 must swing first" 1t
seemed selfish, but when the rabbit
gentleman saw the wondering looks
On the faces of his bunny boys and
girls, he laughed and said: "The
reason I must go first is that I
want to try this new swing and see
if it is safe. 1t might break, even
with Baby Bunty, and then she
would fall and be hurt. But if I
try it first, I am so much heavier
that, if it holds me, the swing will
hold any of you" ..
But what if the swing should
break and hurt you, Daddicums?
asked Buster.
"I would rather be hurt than have
any of you hurt" said the rabbit
gentleman. Then his children
knew he was not selfish but was
thinking only of them and THEN

wanted to know.
Well" explained the boy rabbit,
there are so many of lis that if
we have to take turns, one at a
time, some of us will not get to
swing until it is night. And that
will be no fun"
mo, 1 guess it wouldn't" agreed
Uncle Wiggily. And you must
take turns. That is the only fair
way. I suppose I could make more
swings, but Jacko has gone and
without him I cannot fasten the
vines up in the trees, for I can
not climb. But think know IL
way so you can all have some fun
"How?" asked Jingle.
"By Old Cat said Uncle Wig
gily with laugh. when I was a
boy rabbit and we children had but
one swing we took turns this way.
One would get in the swing and
give himself three pushes from the
ground. Then he could not touch
the ground again for another push
nor could he pump or wiggle to
keep the swing going. In playing
Old Cat one must let the swing
come to stop all by itself. When
it does that then it is the turn of
the next one to have some fun.
I'll show you"
Uncle Wiggily gave one push
with his paws on the ground. Then
he gave himself another push, 60
ing a little higher. The rabbit
children watched him, for they
wanted to know how to do the Old
Cat trick.
Just as Uncle Wiggily was going
/ to give himself his third and last
push, all of a sudden, out of the
bushes popped the Bah Cat. mewing
and looking hungry. Uncle Wig
gily raised his paws and cried:
I'm playing Old Cat but I know
how to play Bob Cat, tool" With
| that instead of pushing the ground
! the third time the rabbit pushed
the Bob Cat right in his face anG
the Bad Chap give howl and ran
away.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Mr.. Longears.
Then he let the Old Cat die" as
it is called, which means when the
swing slowly comes to stop all
by itself, and out he hoped. Nov
it is Baby Bunty's turnl he said.
So the rabbit children played on
the swing in the woods and had
lots of fun. And if the rubber ball
doesn't bounce up and hit the
needle in the eye when it is sewing
up holes in the Swiss cheese, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and Nurse James trick.

CAUSE FOR JOY

DERHAPS nothing that has happened
1 thus far this year will bring real Joy
to so many people as the announcement
today from New Jersey that a son has
been born to Colonel and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh.
There is no need now to go over all of
the terrible past when millions grieved
with them in the terrible tragedy of last
March.
1t cannot be expected that the arrival
of a son will wipe out from memory all
that has happened, but it is certain that
the JOY which has come to the famous
flyer and his wife will do great deal
to relieve them from their sorrow for
their first-born.
AS the world shared in their grief, so
it shares their joy and extends them
happiest congratulations.

HIGHWAY TIE-UP PROTESTED

1T is to be hoped that protest being
4 made to the state highway department
by the Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce,
will have some force in changing con-
ditions relative TO blasting on the San
Diego highway where road Improvement
work is now in progress.
Yesterday morning the same condi-
tons that have prevailed all summer
caused hundreds of motorists to be held
up for more than an hour while the con-
tractor building the new highway set off
a dynamite blast
Again tempers were frayed as valley
residents, anxious to get back to work
after weekend in the hills, were forced
to sit in their cars and wait until the
construction crew had done its work.
One can sympathize with the workmen,
anxious to get the hardest part of their
labor over before the extreme heat of
midday, but one can also sympathize
with those who are seriously inconven-
fenced because of the hour chosen for
blasting.
It was suggested in this column two
weeks ago that the hour for blasting
could be rearranged, especially on Mon
day morning, without great difference
to the contractor. The time chosen, ap-
proximately o'clock, is the hour when
the stream of traffic back to the valley
is heaviest
Reports from those who were caught
in yesterdays blockade indicate that
serious traffic conditions existed once
the tle-up was removed and drivers
started racing down Mountain Springs
grade and across the desert in an effort
to make up lost time. More than one
serious accident was averted only by the
sheerest good fortune
The chamber of commerce has pro-
tested directly to the highway depart
ment, and their protest will have the
moral support of hundreds of valley res
idents. They have been subjected all
summer to an inconvenience which could
easily have been avoided by a little
thought and consideration on the part of
the contractors in charge of highway
work.
If the strike will bring any relief to
the farmer-good luck to it.

by all the others because she was

Uncle Wiggily sat down on the

of the grapevine swing. First he

on the board. But as the vine held

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. - To
soothe the injured photographers
who weren't allowed to take pictures
of President Hoover's fishing trip,
he is going to let them have the
run of Rapidan camp later this
week.
White House secretaries are en-
phatic in declaring President
Hoover's vacation is not political
fishing trip. They did their best
TO discourage photographers and re-
porters from venturing into the
vicinity of the Presidents cruising
ground.
But, when a man becomes presi-
dent, or only a candidate for presi-
dent, he automatically forfeits a
share of privacy.
Most presidents become weary Of
being eternally lodged by secret
service men. photographers and re-
porters. The President is never
annoyed and never spoken to, but
the mere knowledge that this re-
tinue is at his heels pals. The
time comes when all he wants is
TO be left alone.

BEDOUIN AND CAMEL

GERMAN leaders no doubt have heard
u the story of the Bedouin and his
camel. Feeling sorry for the animal out
in the storm, while he was snug and Sc
cure inside his tent, the Bedouin brought
the camel into his tent. Then the camel
kicked him out.
Hitler is good parallel to the camel.
He would like to get into the tent, and
if he does, it is a certainty he will kick
the owners out, for by all the earmarks
of human nature, Hitler measures up to
be for just one person-Adolf Hitler.
He was turned down flat last Satur-
day by doughty old Won Hindenburg, but
Hitler is not through yet. He may even
get into the tent despite all efforts to
keep him out, and once in the trouble
will start, not only for Germany but for
many others.
1t might be good idea to have Pro-
fessor Picard take Hitler up i'll the
stratosphere with him-and leave him
there.
