What Our School Is Doing
Following school notes of Holly
mount Consolidated School, pre-
pared by members of the school
faculty, would be of interest to the
many parents of this modern and
up-to-date rural school. We have
arranged to have some notes each
week on events concerning school
work. We believe the Milford
Chronicle" is the logical solution,
as this paper is found in most of
the homes of the four consolidated
districts, comprising Hollymount,
which were Hills Rabbits Ferry,
Fairmount and Hillyville.

CHANCE FOR 4 HOLIDAY

IMPERIAL VALLEY residents who
I have an extended holiday during the
forthcoming weekend, and who may be
ut loss to know what TO do with it.
might find considerable interest and en-
joyment in joining the chamber of COM
merce trip to Hoover dam site.
There are many living here who have
never seen the site Of the great project
which means so much TO Imperial Val
ley and completion of which will be the
happy result of the long battle waged
by the people of this community for
control of the Colorado river.
Due to improved road conditions, the
trip TO the dam site can now be made
with little or no difficulty and offers a
splendid weekend trip. The chamber
of commerce tour offers practically the
last opportunity to visit the dam before
summer weather makes such a trip un~
desirable.
The chamber Of commerce excursion
is not limited to men. On the contrary,
those planning to make the trip are Ell
couraged to take their ladies so that
they too may see this newest wonder of
the west.
The very nature of the journey makes
it educational as we'll as entertaining.
A section of the country which will be
new to many will be traversed enroute
to the dam site and return and there is
so much to be seen at the dam site that
no attempt at explaining it will be made
here
1t is planned to make the trip in day
light so that the maximum of comfort
and enjoyment may be had.
Some who may be without transporta-
ton and might like to make the trip,
will find accommodations in cars having
room for additional people. Inquiry at
the chamber of commerce will result in
full information for those interested.
The journey to the dam site offers
so much more than idleness in the noun
tains or at the coast resorts, that it is
hoped many will take advantage of the
chambers offer and join the motoreade
to Boulder City.

OF
Receiver Denied
In Store Dispute

An important step in untangling
the very much tangled affairs of
store at Brawley was won by the
defendants in a civil action yester-
day afternoon when Judge Vaughn
N. Thompson issued an order de-
nying the application of r. Samaha
and Ranges Samaha for appoint
ment of a receiver to look after the
business of a store at present in
the hands of s. Ellis, Fred Ellis
and Victoria Ellis.
Judge Thompson also dissolved a
temporary injunction restraining
the defendants from disposing OF
the store or its stock in any way.
Besides the Ellis family, defend
ants in the suit are w. E. Abra-
ham and Frank Neham.
The suit revolves about sale of
the store by the Samahas to E.
Ellis. and a promissory note, signed
by S. Ellis with the name of Fred
Ellis. given at the time the store
was purchased. Since the sale the
store has been transferred to Vic
toria Ellis.
It is the contention of the plain
tiffs that the defendants intended
to defraud them by means of the
promissory note and the transfer OF
the property.

NOT PLAYING FAIR

INFRINGEMENT of the individuals
rights, which has gradually increased
in many directions, despite the belief
that the constitution of the United States
guarantees personal liberty, is being as
sisted in no small degree by one in
stitution which is supposed to be
jealous guardian of such rights = the
American newspaper.
Particularly is this true in connection
with big city papers and tabloids, with
reference to their news picture depart
mentS. No news reporter on the trail of
big story could ever show such utter
disregard for the private rights and feel
ings of an individual as the camera man
often does.
A case in point is young Paul Morgan,
a 17-year-old boy innocently mixed up
III a tragedy at Los Angeles. The young
ster had a quarrel with his sweetheart,
who ended her life by taking poison
Nothing had developed to cast the least
shadow of suspicion or blame upon Nor
gan.
He testified at the coroner's inquest
yesterday and did not want to have his
picture taken, in which he was we'll with
in his rights When the camera men
"NiS III ds1iISSi u iOoliiS out, pOllCt III
teyened and with their assistance Gt is
Justifiable to assume that force was
used) the boys picture was taken.
By just what right the police inter-
fered to assist the camera men is some
thing that the average citizen will have
difficulty in understanding. 1t was their
duty in fact, inasmuch as the youth was
nominally in their charge, to protect him
if he did not wish to be photographed.
He was not a criminal and even if he
was, whether or not his picture shall be
taken is something for him to decide.
If the camera men can get it by chance
that is fair enough, but it is unquestion-
ably wrong to force anyone to submit
to such violation of his rights.
Newspapers are not the only offenders
in such practices for the movie news
reel men are equally guilty. But news
papers are supposed to be fair about
such things. When they are unfair they
deserve no more consideration or excuse
than any others. The craze for sensa-
tional pictures leads many newspapers
and news gathering agencies to commit
numerous breaches of good taste and
respect for the other fellows rights
Such practices may be tolerated for
time but ultimately they are going to
react unfavorably on those responsible
for them.
And the house doesn't want beer eth
er. Congress is such virtuous body.

Pioneers Plan
For Associates

At the first meeting of the I'M

board held under the new presi-
dent. r. D. McPherrin, the bylaws
of the association were read as
amended. One amendment which
will be of interest to many is that
which provides for an associate
membership for the wives and chill
dren of pioneers who are not en-
titled to full membership. The full
details of this associate member
ship have not been worked out but
will be taken up at later meeting.
A vote of thanks was extended
to the firms which voluntarily
made contributions for the annual
picnic. Each year, a greater inter-
