DISTRICT PROGRAM UPHELD

YESTERDAY the people of Imperial
Il Valley gave full endorsement to the
program of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
triet.
The All-American canal contract was
approved better than four to one. Di-
rector w. o. Blair, who has supported
the districts program, and about whom
a bitter fight has waged in the north end
for months. was indicated in a recall
election and maintains his place on the
board
Director c. w. Brockman, chairman of
the board and veteran member who has
been lone minority on the board for
years until the advent of Director W. F.
Beal, was recalled and J. L. Dubois was
chosen to take his place.
The handsome vote given to Director
Blair indicates that the people of his dis
trict refused to believe the charges of in
efficiency and negligence made against
him.
The switch in the boundary lines which
threw part of Ell Centro into Brockman's
district, cannot justly be blamed for his
defeat, for he was behind before the Ell
Centre vote was counted.
In J. L. Dubois, The Press believes the
district will find an excellent director.
Judging by his past record he should be
neither a rubber stamp nor an obstruc-
zionist, but should be able to work IN har-
mony with his associates for the best in
terests of the district.
BY yesterdays action the people have
given approval to the districts manage
ment Such confidence imposes a seri-
Gus duty upon the directorate, which we
feel certain they fully appreciate.
All is not ''skittleS and beer, within
the district. There are serious problems
to be considered and they must be con-
sidered, not in the light of political mat
ters but for the best interests of the peo-
pie, who are footing the bills.
The long and bitter political fight is
apparently over. 1t is time now to get
down to business. Endorsement of the
canal contract means that Imperial Val
ley can now go ahead with the greatest
project it has yet confronted. The dis
trict has assumed a heavy burden, not
one which cannot be carried, but one
which will require careful carrying.
The various issues having been met
and decided, the district should have the
full support of all to the end that its pro-
gram may be carried out efficiently. The
people have decided and they, after all,
are the ones to be considered over and
above the desire for political control or
the wishes and desires of individuals.
If Imperial Valley will start in now to
use its energy in a united fashion instead
of dissipating it in factional fights Tor

there will be four of us--one for
each wall
"Who will be the fourth?" asked
the Bob Cat.
Il will" groWled the Bear. Its
almost time for me to come out
of my den after my long, winter
sleep. I'll go with you and it will
be strange if we can't capture that
fort and get all the nibbles we
want off Uncle Wiggily and his
soldiersl"
"Hurray!' mewed the Bob Cat.
Come on! On to the new fort!'
So this time four Bad Chaps, in
stead of three, went sinking over
the fields and through the woods
toward Uncle Wiggily's snow fort.
But the rabbit gentleman was
on the watch and he had his boy
animal soldiers inside the fort
with him, with the girl animals to
act as Red Cross nurses. Nurse
Jane also kept watch from the
roof of the bungalow inside the
snow fort. And, all Of sudden,
she cried:
Here they arel Here come the
Bad Chaps-four of themw
Get ready for the battle!' cried
Uncle Wiggily. "Have we plenty
of snowballs, my soldiers?"
"Yesl Yes!" they cried. They
ran out to the walls of the fort,
but instead of the Bad Chaps COM
ing toward one wall, they divided
and one each came at one of the
four snow walls. This surprised
Uncle Wiggily and quickly he had
to divide his soldiers, sending some
to throw snoWballS over the dill
ferent walls. This made the battle
much harder for those inside the
fort and once the Bob Cat nearly
got over the south wall, where
Buster, Custer, Duster and Muster
were. Then, all of a sudden, Uncle
Wiggily ran back in the bungalow
"Ouick, Nurse janet" he cried.
Get me the funny guns! They
will drive away the Bad Chaps!
Quick, the funny guns!"
And with these guns, Mr.. Long

The three Bad Chaps, after hav-
ing tried with no luck to get over
the walls of Uncle Wiggily's snow
fort, had met in the Bears den.
THE mistake you chaps made,

"Oh, lots!" said the Fox.
"Exactly!" chuckled the Bear

was to difide yoursedves-only one

LINCOLN

IS refreshing and stimulating as the first
n breath of spring is the thought that
comes today with the observance of Lin
coins birthday.
We think of him not as the victim of
a cruel assassin, but as the great leader
who steered his country through the
most severe crisis in its history.
All of us are familiar with the thou
sand and one anecdotes that are told
about Lincoln, the homely, simple giant,
who patiently bore up under the abuse
of enemies and the timidity of his own
supporters, refusing to be discouraged
by the horrors of terrible war, but con-
tinuing to plod patiently on until the
Union he loved so we'll had been saved.
None felt the terriblenesS of that war
more than the man who led his country
through it, and cruel indeed were the ac-
cusations made against him-that he was
heartless, cold and Indifferent to the aw-
ful slaughter of men. History proves
the fallacy of these charges. Only his
great love for his country, which alone
was greater than his love for his fellow
citizens, enabled him to bear his heavy
burden.
Lincoln gave Us wonderful exam
pie of what it means to love ones coun-
try. Few of US can ever hope to reach
the heights that he did, but all of us can
of America as he did, and in doing this
we will never be able to stray far from
the path that he pointed out.
