ALLEGATION UPHELD

QlGHT of the Imperial Irrigation dis
Ntrict to enter into water ALLEGATION con-
tracts with other irrigation districts and
municipalities has been upheld in de-
cision by the United States circuit court
of appeals, which has affirmed the judg-
ment of the federal district court to that
effect.
Suit entered by two Imperial Valley
landowners, attacking the water alloca-
ton agreement, particularly that with
the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California, sought to nulhfy
the agreement. Decision given by Judge
Paul j. Mccormick several months ago,
was eagerly awaited in Imperial Valley.
His decision upheld the districts right
to allocate.
Appeal taken by the plaintiffs brought
the case to the circuit court Of appeals
which has just given its decision.
In upholding the original courts Ver-
dict, the circuit court of appeals asserts
the districts rights to the water are not
exclusive and that the ALLEGATION con-
tracts were obviously an attempt to COM
promise the provisions of the Boulder
dam act and the rules of the department
of the interior.
water of the river is a treasure that
offers the necessities of life to millions of
people and must be apportioned in har-
meny with the provisions of law in equal
ity of right and equity for the common
good" the courts decision states
This attitude is one that will meet
with the approval of the fair-minded.
While the plaintiffs may appeal to
higher court, it is not likely that the de-
decision will be reversed. 1t is founded
on broad facts and well recognized judi
cial precedentS.

THE personality of Sunny jim, big

dignity of the governor of the State OF

was once a respectable cloak.

there. And because, for the first time in her

the older woman, circling her shoulders with a
SOFT young arm.

HIGH SCHOOL TO GIVE PLAY

A sparkling comedy in three acts
entitled, "A Tale of Two Sillies," will
be presented by the Student Body on
Thursday evening, December Co. The
plot is woven around two domineer-
ing mothers who rule their families to
the point Of trying to force the daugh-
ter of one into marrying the son of
the other. The fun begins when the
children, not as meek as obedient chill
dren should be, begin contriving means
of outwitting their overbearing moth
ers. The play is loaded with a musing
situations and clever dialogue, and the
ending Is unusual and satisfying. The
cast is as follows:
Mrs. Ross, Louise shinn; Mrs. Clyde,
Doris Hemker; Mr.. Ross, Carroll Meek
er; Mr.. Clyde, Roscoe Ray; Gloria
Clyde, Helen Wheeler; Hector Ross,
Frostie Heath Helen Reach, Louise
Walker; Jules Reach, Ray Broughton;
Lazy" Jackson, Elroy Wiehl; Sheriff,
Thurston Foltz.
Because the date of the play is SO
near Christmas, the holiday spirit will
prevail. Extra attractions as means
of celebration, will include carols and
readings. Who knows? Old Santa Claus
himself might even pay us visit!
Be sure and save the date! The per-

There seems to be great deal Of
controversy over time allotted to extra
curriculum Persons who have signed
up for play, paper staff, basketball,
band, and Xmas carolling find them
selves In rather embarrassing pre-
dicament. It seems pity to subordt-
nate our subjects to extra activities.
In fact, it cannot be done-yet 1t Is
hard, too, to give UP our extra curri-
cular activities.
There seems to be no remedy for
the shortage OF time. At least, no one
has ever found it. 1t is an added bur-
den to the teachers, too, and we must
remember that these activities are pri-
marily for our enjoyment and not
blame our instructors for giving us as
signments which seem large in view
of the fact that play practice and gym
take up SO many study periods. There
will be q big load Off our minds, I'm
sure, when the play is over and the

is less far i'll debt.
