The National Federation of
Post Office Clerks has come out
for the furlough plan for Federal
employees, in lieu of the Senate
10 per cent pay cut. Thomas F.
Flaherty, secretary-treasurer, says:
I'VE opposed both pay cuts
and the furlOugh plan. OF the
two, the furIough is more &C
ceptabIe as it means a wider
diffusion of available work,
pointing the way toward a pos
tai five-day week and also the
maintenance of existing wage
standards"

President Harry King of the
washington Chamber of Com
merce, has requested Senator Wag-
ner CD, of New York, to strike
from a bill proposing granting Of
Federal loans to the States a sec
ton which specifically eliminates
the District from participation.
Mr.. King said:
"The chamber feels such def
mite discrimination against the
National Capital cannot be
equitable in view of extensive
salary reductions now pending.
These will affect a larger pro-
portion of our population than
in any other city.
"Als0, the District benefits
from all public building under
takings much less than do other
cities because the work is en-
trusted almost entirely to out

plOyeS and building supply

Smoldering Fire
In Foundations
OF Local Home

A good nose for smoke prevented
A disastrous fire last night when
John Maloof of Gas Vine street
called members of the fire depart
ment because he thought he
smelled something burning in the
house.
Firemen rushed to the scene and
went over the house in trace OF
elusive whiffs. They finally dug out
a corner of the foundation, and
found the floor afire under the
fireplace. the wood being charred
by the flames. The fire was eXtin-
guished with, slight damage result
ing.
In speaking of the fire this morn
ing. Fire Chief Tom Reams said
the reason the flames did not make
more rapid progress was on account
of a lack of air. The foundation en-
closed the space where the blaze
was doing its secret damage.
"Firemen are glad to investigate
when residents think something Is
burning which they cannot find,
said Chief Reams. In this case it
prevented a disastrous blaze and
the possible loss of home, furnish
ings and clothing. Residents OF the
town are urged to get in touch
with us when they smell smoke for
which they can discover no cause.
All firemen enjoy preventing a
fire"

New Stunt Tried
By Store Thief

There is at leaSt one thief in
Imperial Valley who did not bother
with breaking into the store to get
what he wanted He merely Or
dered it Saturday night then walked
out without paying for it.
That is, the youth started to
walk out, but before he reached the
door of the johnson and Greene
store he was running, and before
w. 3. johnson could catch him he
had leaped into his small roadster,
parked outside, and was gone.
The young man entered the Ell
Centric store Saturday night, Sc
lected a pair of shoes, valued at
$l2, and put them on. He then
ordered two wool shirts, valued at
$40. After the shirts were wrapped
he stepped to the front of the store,
to price sweater.
While Johnson was in the rear
wrapping another parcel, he walked
out the front door, stepped into
his car, and drove away. The
sheriff's office and the Ell Centro
police department were notified.

VOTING FOR SWING

THE suggestion has been made by the
l Republican county central commit
tee that many Imperial Valley Democrats,
who would like to vote for Congressman
Phil D. Swing for the senate, will be
unable to do so unless they pay a bit of
attention to their registration.
If they register as Democrats now
they will not be able to vote for Swing
at the August primaries, unless, before
that time, they re-regiSter as Repubh-
cans.
1t is not likely that Swing will be
nominated on the Democratic ticket for
the senate, as there are too many aspir-
ants for that honor in the ranks of the
Bourbons
BY registering as Republicans now,
Democrats will be eligible to vote for
Swing in the August primary and then,
in the November election, they may vote
the Democratic ticket if they so wish.
From the Democratic local camp
comes the suggestion to Democrats that
the plea for them to register as Repub-
licans now is a trick to cut down the
Democratic registrations. This is dis
avowed by the Republican central
committee.
This body is particularly anxious to
see Swing elected to the senate, and
rightly believes that many of his Demo-
cratic friends would like to help them
do it. If the Democrats insist on regis
tering according to their party now
they may overlook the necessity of re-
registering before the August primary
and thus be unable to vote for Swing.
The Press, also interested in seeing
Swing elected, does not seek to influence
the Democrats, but does wish to explain
the condition to them so that if they
want to vote for Swing they may do so.
The presidential primary is in May,
the state primary in August and the
general election in November. At both
primary elections one must vote accord
ing to party lines. The general election
is an open affair when one can vote as
he chooses.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SNOW
TUNNEL

We'll, we'll, well!' exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. looking up from 4
book he was reading one evening
in his hollow stump bungalow. 7
never would have believed it if I
had not seen it in print
What is it?" asked his wife,
who was mending a pile of stock
ings for the forty leyen sixteen
little bunny boys and girls now
safely upstairs in their beds.
rs it anything about the Bob
Cat?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy.
The muskrat lady housekeeper
came in from the kitchen where
she had been putting supper
dishes to bed on the pantry
shelves.
T NO" Uncle Wiggily answered,
still looking at the book. But it
tells here about a rabbit with such
big. furry feet that he can walk
on top of the snow. In fact this
rabbit is called the 'Snowshoe
Rabbit Another strange thing
about him is that while his fur
is brown in summer like mine, as
soon as the first snow falls the
coat of this rabbit turns pure
white. You see with a white coat
Imperial Valley press., 1932-01-18

So he began to run, but a very sad
thing happened. He had been able
10 keep up on top of the snow
when he hopped gently along. even
though his paws were not like those
of the snowshoe rabbit. But when
Uncle Wiggily started to run fast
and jump hard to get away from
the Fox the feet of the bunny
uncle sank down through the snow
and he could not go fast at all.
Nearer and nearer the Fox came,
for though the Bad Chap did not
have on SnowshoeS. he had long.
strong legs and could smash his
way through the snow Poor
Uncle Wiggily was On the point of
being caught. The Fox was very
close to him. Deeper and deeper
into the snow sank Mr.. Longears
And then. all of a sudden, a voice
like his own called:
"Burrow down and dig a snow
tunnel, Uncle Wiggily. Pop down
under the snowl Dig in it as if you
were digging a burrow in soft
ground. Tunnel under the snow
and the Fox can't get you!'
Uncle Wiggily gave one look !
He saw a big rabbit, like himself.
-only pure white, and with big,
furry paws.
That must be a snOwshoe rab-
bit.' thought MI Longears. But
he did not have time to think
much more for the Fox was almost
ready to grab him now. Then, as
quickly as he could Uncle Wigglly
instead of trying to walk on top Of
the snow, burrowed and tunnelled
down beneath it. The snow was
deep but Mr.. LongearS was such d
good digger that soon he had made
a tunnel down to the ground. Then
running along this tunnel under
the snow which was soft beneath
the hard crust, the bunny was soon
safely away from the Fox, who
could not get into the small tun-
mel doorway Mr.. Longears had
made. So the bunny gentleman
was saved from the Bad Chap.
And if the postman will bring
some stockings for the legs of the
dining room chairs so they won't
catch cold, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's snowshoe rabbit.
