WHY NOT ATTEND CHURCH?

EASTER, the crowning glory of the
~ Christians calendar, will be appropri-
ately observed tomorrow in FL Centre S
churches.
1t povides happy and appropriate oc-
casion for those who are too busy during
the year to do much church going, to
return for a few moments to the atmos-
phere which they knew in their younger
days.
Such is our modern environment, that
it is easy to drift from the pathway
pointed out to us in our childhood, when
church attending held an important place
in our lives Nevertheless the old fund
amentals which we were taught remain
with US, bit rusty, perhaps, for lack of
use, but to all intents and purposes as
sound as they should be.
No Ell Centre church is overwhelmed
with support during the year. Most Of
us are quite apathetic toward them, vet
few would care to establish their homes
in a churchlesS community. The church
es do not complain but continue with
their work, aided by the faithful support
of the few and not at all discouraged
by the Indifference of the majority.
Tomorrow offers an excellent oppor-
tunity for those of us who profess our
selves to be Christians, to attend church.
1t is bound to make Us feet better, splr-
itually and mentally, and it will give
splendid encouragement to the faithful
shepherds who labor diligently and earn
estly throughout the year in their efforts
to carry out the teachings of the Master
and to do their share toward making
mankind happier and the world better
place for him.
With so many denominations repre-
sented here, it should be a comparatively
easy matter for all Christians to find
some church service which they can at
tend and even though they may not be
able to attend their preferred church
they are certain of welcome no mat
ter which one they may choose.
If the Easter rabbit can lay eggs, may
be it will not be impossible for the gov
ernment to balance the budget.

along on his way toward his
bungalow
All of a sudden, half way home,
Uncle Wiggily stopped. turned
about and said;
I'm going back and ask Twisty
what he wonders. Maybe he's in
some sort of trouble" Uncle Wig
gily did not need to go far along
the pigs path before he saw Mr..
Twistytail. And the pig gentleman
was certainly doing something very
strange. He was whirling and
twisting about as Jackie and Peetie
had done.
What in the world are you do
ing?" cried Uncle Wiggily.
Il am trying to catch my tail!'
grunted the pig, as he stopped
twirling and looked at Uncle Wig
gily. DO you know" he went on,
lin all my life, Wiggy, l have
never seen my own tail. Much less
have I caught it as have those
dogs. Neverl"
"Of course you've never seen
your tail, Twisty. and you never
will either" chuekled the rabbit.
You are too fat to bend around
far enough to get a look at your
little tail, which is, think, even
smaller than the Bob Cats"
But my tail has nice twist il
it," grunted the pig gentleman.
"Oh, yes, of course it has," agreed
the rabbit. But don't be wonder
ing and thinking about seeing or
catching your tail. 1t can never
be done"
But just imagine, Wiggy!'
sadly grunted Mr.. Twistytail, never
TO have seen your own tail becauGe
of being SO fat. My own tail, mind
you! Oh. it's sad. Puppies can see
and catch their tails but I can't
even see mine. Oh, what shall
do?"
Here" suddenly cried Uncle
Wiggily. Look" Taking a little
mirror from his pocket he held ii
in front of Mr.. Twistytails face
Looking in the glass, the pig saw
the reflection Of his quinky little
tail as plainly as anything.
"Oh, why didn't think of that
before!" he grunted. Now l am
happy. Thank you, Wiggily!" ano
the two animal friends laughed
together.

CHAMBER KEEPS
UP BATTLE FOR
AIR MAIL ROUTE

Leo Hetzel, chairman Of the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce avi-
alton committee, states that the
chamber is making some headway
in it's fight for the southern air
mail serving this community and,
through recent efforts, has obtained
stronger support from other COM
munities than ever before.
Several days ago every commun-
ity on the southern air mail route
was contacted by the chamber and
individual support asked for a di-
rect service from San Diego through
Imperial Valley to Phoenix, instead
of the present service direct from
Los Angeles to Phoenix. Replies
to these communications have been
received from various southern
chambers of commerce and in every
case the support of the individual
chamber is pledged, as each be-
lieves that the entire route will be
benefited by the inclusion of San
Diego and Imperial Valley. in the
southern air mail service.
Recently the chamber directors
have passed a resolution, urging
that the route be changed from
Los Angeles to Phoenix to San Di-
ego to Phoenix, and copy of this
resolution sent to each of the CAL
ifornia delegation in congress. Cop
les of this resolution have also
been sent to the San Diego and
Los Angeles chambers and to many
other organizations in Southern
California, with the request that
each endorse the resolution and
forward it to Washington. Hetzel
is now planning to bring a similar
resolution before the state chamber
at it's meeting next week.
Congressman Phil Swing has
been actively fighting for the south
ern air mail route which would
serve San Diego and Imperial Val
ley and it is believed that many
resolutions from this section will
assist him in gaining his point in
this matter.
Hetzel explains that the south
ern air mail contract was original
ly let with the understanding that
the planes would fly from San
Diego, through Imperial Valley ano
Yuma, and on to Phoenix. Pend
ing the completion of the lighting
of this route mail was flown from

OFFICERS ENJOY
MEXICAN DANCE
INSTEAD OF RAID

Sobbihg notes of guitar and the
high wall Of a violin, blended into
tone of Mexican dance rythm
as the bellies and beaus of the let
tuce fields whirl in the latest
Broadway steps to the light of a
flickering gasoline lantern, may
offer consolation even for a dry
liquor raid, deputy sheriffs found
last hight.
An afternoon spent in fruitless
search of two Mexican ranches
northwest of Imperial failed to re-
veal to Ernest Clay and Lloyd Cas-
tanien the liquor they had been in
formed was on the premises, and
they returned to FL Centre without
prisoner.
Last night Castanien and another
companion decided to visit re-
ported Mexican dance near the
ranches, since the officer had been
| informed liquor would be sold there.
A portable victrola, later replaced
] by a tWo-man Mexican orchestra,
was sending out its music under the
stars when the two GringoS arrived
but the party had nothing of the
appearance of an orgy in which
liquor had any part. An investiga-
ton showed appearances to be true
for the dance was a private affair
given in honor of the birthday OF
one girl.
Under bamboo arbor open tC
the skies the MeXicans were hon.
oring the birthday, dancing on the
hard packed dirt Bashful Mexican
youths lurked on the fringeS oi
light cast by the gasoline lantern
The Gringos watched from the
shadows the pageant of evening
gowned girls and cordouroy trous'
cred men, until one of the men To-
lcated them.
The men who came to raic
stayed to watch and talk, until al
inadvertant glance at wris
watch surprisingly showed most o.
the night to be gone, and they
made hasty exit to the farewell'
of lately acquired friends.

Peetie a moment later.
or course, Jackie won the little
race. but the puppy brothers were
good friends for all that and away
they ran to play tag with the other
animal boys, for this was Saturday
when there was no school.
That was funny" chuckled
Uncle Wiggily as he and Mr..
Twistytail kept on with their walk.
Very Jollyw galnted the fat
animal gentleman. Il wonder
We'll what do you wonder?'
asked Uncle Wiggily as Mr.. Twisty-
tail stopped grunting. Not that he
was grunting because he was i'll, OF
ANYTHING like that, but grunting
was the pig gentleman's way Of
talking. What do you wonder?"
asked the rabbit.
"Oh, I was just sort-now---
wondering" murmured the fat pig.
He did not say anything more
right away, but Uncle Wiggily
noticed that Mr.. Twistytail had a
far away look in his little eyes
look that showed he was still
wondering and thinking.
Never mind" thought the rab-
bit. He will tell me when he gets
ready, I dare say"
So the two friends walked on
through the woods until they
reached a place where the one path
branched and went two ways like
the letter Y, you know. The
branching path to the right led
TO the pen house Of Mr.. Twisty-
tail while the path 10 the left led
..,l..3s.l,. to Uncle eisgily's hollow stump

again and waddled off down his

UNCLE WICGILY AND THE

were talking about new talking

before when, Ill of sudden, out
from behind a bush ran Jackie anc
Peetie Bow Wow, the two dog boys
I'll catch my tail before you

Then the two puppies began to
whirl about like two fuzzy merry
go-rounds, each one trying to get
hold of his OWL tail in his teeth.
at first they couldn't do it. But
at last Jackie managed to get hold
of his tail in his teeth, though OF
course he didn't bite very hard.
And then he cried:
