No PEDDLER
SIGNS HELP

Following the plan inaugurated
by the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce more than year ago
to eliminate house-to-house ped
dlers. the Hermosa Beach Cham
ber of Commerce is also distribut-
ing signs to every resident of that
community which read mo ped
dlers or agents. We buy absolutely
nothing at the door. Everything
this family needs is supplied by
our local merchants who furnish
local employment and help build
up our city, These signs are to
be placed in close proximity to the
door bell on every residence in the
city as they have been in Ell Cen
tro.
The use of mo peddler" cards on
the individual residences of Ell
Centro has resulted in a definite
cutting down of the sales made by
house-to-h house peddlers in this
city. This is proven by the num-
Der of complaints which have been
received at chamber headquarters
from out of town persons who state
that they have been unable to
make any sales in Ell Centro be-
cause of the mo peddler" signs.
Commenting on the use OF the
mails for Christmas shopping, w.
A. Tondro, president of the Ell
Centro chamber stated today,
Never before have our local mer-
chants had such a complete line
OF Christmas merchandise and nev-
er before have they offered gift
merchandise at such low prices.
Innumerable articles may be pur-
chased here for amounts as low
as one and two dollars, many of
them of a quality that would have
cost double that amount two years
ago Our local merchants have for
months been struggling to give
normal service in the face of a
major depression. Prices have
Leen reduced but service and stocks
of merchandise, have been kept
up to their old levels. The public
has not needed to curtail in the
vide range of selection offered.
Now, at the turning point of the
depression, we must support our
local merchants. We must buy at
home in order that our local stores
may carry on for the short period
until we all face plenty, prosperity
and a white spot Ei Centre to-
gether once more"

OF course, Uncle Wiggily didn't
want to buy two trees, but it made
good song to sing as he hoped

been singing so loud and SO jolly,
the Bob Cat who was asleep be-

didn't call me. But I was sure
every one else was awake by now
/ That's why I sang. 1 didn't mean

"Well, you did, and I'm going to

and he started running around the
bush after Uncle Wiggily. The
rabbit threw his crutch at the Bob
Cat, but missed him and the new
j ing creature laughed.
| Poor Shot' he snickered. and
lie kept coming right at the rab-
| bit.
Now, Uncle Wiggily started to
hop away but there was frost on
the ground where he was standing,
! frost which the sun had not yet
had time TO melt, so the place was
! slippery and, all of a sudden, Mr.
Longears sat down ker plunk!
"Hol Hol' laughed the Bob Cat
Thought you'd get away, didn't
you, Wiggy, old chap But you
didn't and now I'll get you!''
This time it really seemed as il
he would, for Mr.. Longears was
sitting on the ground in front of
the bad chap, unable to get up. But
al of sudden, voice called:
Hi, therel Get away, you old
Bob Catl I'm a giant and If you
don't run away I'll toss you over
the Orange mountainl"
The Bob Cat looked up and saw
high above him, a face peering
down. 1t was high from the ground
as giants face would be, and SC
the Bad Chap, with a howl and
q yowl, ran away as fast as he
could. Then the giant, who
wasn't one at all, but a jolly little
elf, or fairy, no larger than a doll
climbed down out of the hollow
tree up into which he had climbed
TO stick his head out of a hole
high up, thus making himself look
ike a giant. So he fooled the Bob
Cat.
Ha! You did me a great favorp
said Mr.. Longears TO the jolly elf
''Tell me who you are" But the
elf said he couldn't, as it was q
secret.

IMPERIAL HIGHWAY ASSOCIATION


CUPPORTERS of the Imperial High
way association gather here tonight
for a meeting at which reports will be
made on the progress of the proposed
road which will provide Imperial Val
ley with a new artery to the Pacific
coast
For the past four years the members
of the association have been working
earnestly to advance their project and
they have met with splendid success.
In a general way the Imperial High
way will bisect the area lying between
the Pacific coast and the route to Los
Angeles via Salton Sea, with Ell SegGn-
do as the northern point and the San
Diego highway as the southern bound
ary.
Starting at Ell Segundo, the road pass
es through Yorba Linda, Corona, Elsi-
more, Temeeula, Aguana and thence via
the old Butterfield stage route by way
of Warmers Springs and Vallecitos to
a point near Coyote Wells, where it con-
meets with Highway No. 80.
The Importance of this highway cam
not be over estimated. Unusually heavy
traffic is generally the rule on the Sal
ton Sea route, much of it being COM
mercial trucking, always an inconveni-
ence to the private automobile Open
ing up a new broad route to the coast
will do much to relieve congestion on
the Salton Sea route.
AS a scenic route, Imperial Highway
offers a wide variety to those who travel
for pleasure. Starting from the desert
at this end, the route proceeds into the
mountainous country and ends at the
seashore. 1t will open up to the people
of Southern California in general, and
of Imperial Valley in particular, an area
of which they now know practically
nothing.
A good road is always the mark of
progress, and Imperial Highway is be-
ing planned to be a good road. 1t will
be designed not only for the present
but for the future as well. For this
reason the members of the association
drew their plans for a road 100 feet
wide, without a single right angle turn
in its entire length, thereby assuring a
safe route and one easy to travel.
Believed by some to be a sort of wild
dream when the project was first an
nounced, the past four years have proved
that it is dream all right but dream
that is coming true Approximately
100000 have been spent in construc-
tion since the plan was originated OBJ
stacles of nature and of the law have
been overcome and all this has been ac-
complished without single bond issue
or an improvement district assessment
being levied.
The men and women who will be here
tonight for the associations meeting are
the men and women who have accom-
plished all this Imperial Valley is
glad and happy to have them here and
recognizes them as being of that same
dauntless spirit as the men and women

WE'RE GETTING BETTER

DERHAPS things are not as good as
L they might be, but the fact remains
that the local post office did more bus
iness to the extent of S737 during Nov
ember than it did in November of last
year.
The postmaster's report shows that
gains were also made in July, August,
September and October over the CORES
ponding months in 1881, the October in
crease being 81 400
These increases cannot be accounted
for entirely by the increased cost of
mailing. Records of the country in gen.
eral show that the higher postal rates
have not increased postal receipts.
Pessimists might say that the local
increase has been caused by folks writ
ing back home for money. This is to be
doubted They wouldn't write such let
ters to the extent of over 500 and if
reports are to be believed back east" is
a mighty poor place just now to write
TO for money.
The real reason is that in spite of our
grumbling and groaning we are doing
better, but we have become so pessimis-
tic that we hate to admit it.
And it is also to be noted that the po-
lice business in November showed con-
siderable slump. We are not only doing
more business but we are behaving our
selves. But we seem to hate to admit
both. Perhaps we just want to be orn-
cry.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-06-07

counts on popular support for the policy of subJugating the Reich stag, believing the public tired of pariiamenlarlsm.
 The government was considering also establishing later a sort of house of lords. which would fur fher doom the reichstag to insigni- canoe. Won Papen intends virtually to abolish the Prusslan government of the last 13 years. which has been the backbone of German democracy. Recalling the system under which the kaiser was both emperor of Germany and king of Purssia, the Prussian administra- ton. informally agreed. will be placed under the heel of von Papen's regime.
 To eliminate thus the dualism of the reich and Prussia, the govern ment proposes to name q commits sion of dictatorial powers in Prus- sia. That would involve shelving the Prussian diet, and would ex- tend the reich's authority over the armed forces to include 90.000 well-equipped and disciplined Prussian police.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-06-07

Regarding social problems. ths won Papen government plans 10 put the relations between Iaborers and employer on a pre-war basis. The government would swiftly abolish the collective wage agree ments which the labor unions fore ed the employers to accept after the war and which were regarded as one of the principle democratic achievements of the November 1918, revolution. Government ar- bitration of labor disputes also would be abandoned.
 The first condition of the secret pact between Adolph Hitler and Kurt von Schleicher. of the new defense ministry. which proceeded the change of government, was ful- filled with dissolution of the reichs- tag. The second condition will be carried out soon when von Papen transforms Hitler's brown militia into labor battalions in the govern ment's service, it's leaders conse- quently occupying government jobs.
 Thus, without formally lifting
