Scene OF Film

Presenting an intriguing back
ground of the federal secret Serv-
ice and the affairs of Washington
society and diplomatic circles,
Man About Town" offers excellent
entertainment at FOX Imperial air
dome where the final performances

Peetie, the puppy.
What kind of an adventure 10
you think I shall have with you,
Uncle Wiggily?" asked Peetie as he
stopped at a brook long enough to
get a drink.
You never can ten,' answered
the rabbit. That's the best part
of adventures, you never know when
they are coming nor what they are
going to be. If you did they
wouldn't be adventures, they'd just
be work, or something like that.
What kind of an adventure would
you like, Peetie?"
"One with something to eat in
it if I might have that kind" spoke
the puppy.
"WeT see about that" Mr.. Long
ears answered
DO you ever have eating adVen-
tures?" asked Peetie.
"Oh, yes, very often" was the
answer.
. The two went along together
looking this way and that way for
adventures and, all Of a sudden.
Uncle Wiggily came to a place
where some green clover leaves
were growing. The clover was SO
sweet and fresh that the rabbit
gentleman said:
Il am going to stop here a mo-

clover You don't care for that Sc
you may run about and play until
I finish nibbling."

PROTECT PROPERTY

FOURTH OF JULY is only week away,
L and if history is to repeat itself there is
certain to be more or less illegal shooting
off of fireworks between now and the
nations birthday.
1t is only natural for youngsters who
can procure fireworks, to set them off
before the great day comes. Trying to
curb them is we'll nigh impossible.
But parents should be aware of the
danger from the discharge of fireworks
without proper supervision. In this par
ticular country at this time of the year,
the fire hazard is exceptionally high.
single spark can do untold harm to life
and property.
1t is the duty of parents to see that
the law governing the discharge of fire
works, is obeyed. The city ordinance pro-
hibits the discharge of fireworks within
the area bounded by First, Brighton,
Eighth and Park avenue at any time
1t IS illegal to discharge fireworks with
IN this zone even on the Fourth of July,
when the ordinance is lifted for areas
outside that section.
Discharge of fireworks anywhere with
in the above zone, even on the Fourth of
July, is punishable by a heavy fine.
Discharging fireworks anywhere in the
city prior to the Fourth of July also
carries a heavy penalty
Parents should realize that it is not
a matter of being fined or not being
fined that is important. There cannot
be a policeman standing every few feet
to prevent discharge of fireworks. One
may be able to violate the law any num-
Der of times and not be caught.
But they should realize the danger to
their own property and to that of others.
There is much dry grass throughout the
city. Houses are built mostly of wood
which is as dry as tinder. A firecracker
carelessly thrown away, can start off a
blaze that may easily reach serious pro-
portions.
Children should be cautioned not to
use firecrackers under any considera-
ton until Fourth of July, and should
not be permitted to use them then eX-
cept under the supervision of older per-
sons. This is bit of community well
fare work that demands the support of
all good citizens.

VOTE ON FRIDAY

CITIZENS of Imperial county should
" not overlook the fact that they have
an election of considerable Importance
coming up on Friday of this week, when
a board of freeholders, to draw up a
county charter, will be chosen.
Fifteen citizens, representing a cross
section of the entire county, have been
named as candidates for the board. The
Press urges that citizens keep the voting
cate in mind and when they go to the
polls, believes the best interests of this
county will be served by voting for the
entire group Of Is citizens.
The 10 citizens are men who are we'll
known throughout the county. All of
them are responsible and thoroughly es-
tablished as residents of long standing.
1t should be pointed out and thorough
ly understood, that voting Tor these 10
men does not necessarily mean that one
IS in favor of or opposed to a charter
There Is no charter to be voted on at
this time
The l5 men who are elected freehold
ers, Will draw up charter form of gov
ernment for the county, and this will be
submitted to the voters at another cleo
ton, for adoption or rejection.
Serving as a freeholder, while un-
doubtedly an honor, also means the sac
rifice of considerable time in public SER
vice for which there is no remuneration
except the consciousness of a duty we'll
done. The Is men whose names appear
on the ballot have signified their will
ingness to act as freeholders and give
their time during the next three months
to formulating a charter for submission
to the people.
Unless a voter is certain that the man
whose name he writes in is also willing
to devote his time in the interest of form
ulating charter he (the voter) is not
doing his civic duty. He must be certain
that his man is willing to work.
In the absence of any such assurance,
it is the voters duty to cast his vote for
the men who have sgnified a willing
ness to render such service as will un-
questionably be expected of them, and
by voting the straight ballot the voter
also will be serving his county.

bungalow and knocked on the door

LIFE is A FIRE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

I IFE is fire, and memory the en-
II bers,
If 1t be joy or pain that one remem-
bers.
A little while the fire flames and
flashes;
1t shall not be long before it all is
ashes.
We would not care if care would soon
be over;
Alas, the world has many a weary
rover
Within whose heart, If going or re-
turning.
Some ancient hurt keeps on forever
burning.
Yet love was ours, and home, and
happy faces,
Yes, joy was ours in other times and
places.
Love quickly flames, and nothing
flames so brightly,
Or fades so soon, if love has loved
too lightly.
We can't forget that some old VOW
was broken
Let US recall at least the VOW was
spoken.
The hand of time in time the hurt
would soften
Perhaps we stir the fires Of hate too
often.
Life is fire, and memory the en-
bers,
If it be joy or pain that one remem-
berS.
If it be pain, then leave the past to
perish,
If it be joy. rekindle and recherish.
Life is fire, and mortals must rebuild
1t,
Not with the pain but with the Joy that
filed it.
The Goals of hate are not the Goals for
blowing,
But keep your hope, your faith. for
ever glowing.

AN EXCITING MINUTE
LIE LONGEST lives whose wits
i work fast

LIE LONGEST lives whose wits
= work fast,
Nor stop until the dangers past.
Everyone of the Little People on
the Green Meadows, in the Green For
est, and around the Smiling Pool
knows that this is true. 1t is those
with the quickest wits who have the
longest lives. Almost every day ev-
eryone of them has to depend on his
wits to get him out of danger, unex-
pected danger. There isn't time for
thinking. He must act first and do
this thinking later. Such times may
come to you and to me, but they are
not likely to come often. We go days
and days and days without meeting
any real danger. But with the Little
People it is different. Right when
they think themselves safest they are
likely to have to use their wits and
to use them quickly to save their lives.
That is one reason why we should do
all we can to help them and protect
them and never give them reason to
fear us.
Now it didn't seem possible that there
was the least bit of danger for anyone,

is that they rose from the sea and
were never connected with the con-
tinent.
The animals of this region afford
major puzzles to biologists. The pc
culiar mammal life, some of whose
vanished forms are represented by
bones buried in cavern floors, Smith
sonian scientists hope may illuminate
the moot theories of origin. If a
land connection ever existed, it is
held, the continental mammals would
have wandered freely into the West
Indian area. However, none of the
larger families. such as the bison
or the bears, are represented among
the living forms or fossils.
Those who hold to the continental
theory explain this by arguing that
these larger forms were creatures of
the lowlands which persisted when
the land was inundated. They believe
that only smaller creatures of the
high mountains. whose tops form the
present West Indies, would have sur
vived. They ask, If these islands were
of oceanic origin. where did their an
imal life originate?

Dante, in his writings, summed up
the thought and the spirit of the Mid
die ages. In his Divine Comedy is re-
flected the medieval Catholic view of
the church and salvation, of the past
and future of mankind, of earth, hell,
purgatory and paradise. In other
writings he sums up medieval theories
of the relations of church and state.
By using Italian for his greatest work,
Dante helped make the Florentine dia-
lect the standard for literary Italian
and gave great impetus to the liter
airy use of national languages instead
Of Latin. 1t is equally important to
