ployment in Toledo for some time,

vile, few days ago.
The recent rains have been well
coined by the farmers for the grow
ing crops, but they are retarding
the harvest considerably.
A car from Tiltonville, containing
a man and wife and four younger
people was in bad wreck, Sunday,
on state route 78, just beyond the
Howard Blackburn home. It seems
the speed was too great to round
the curve at the top of small hill,
with the result that the car ran
across the road into loose gravel,
which caused the wreck. The man
and wife were the worst injured,
the wife being very seriously injur-
ed. It was reported here Monday
morning that the wife died while
being transported to her home in an
ambulance. 1t is stated that drink
had something to do with the
wreck.

The Manchester school board was
in session here Monday The teach
er for the primary grades Of Rein
ersville school was not employed at

Windy Hill school will be discon-
tinued and the pupils will be cen
tralized with the other pupils of the
township, at Reinersville, when the
Windy Hill teacher will be trans
ported with the pupils. 1t seems to
be the intention to move the Foster

vile school grounds where they will
have one-room school with Rein
ersville environments.

Ike, but in spite of all, if he could
get the government adjusted cor
rectly, he wouldn't be having to

variety for beans, potatoes, Gu
cumbers, pumpkins po-
litical bee. Bugs, beetles and bees
of all shades and shapes. AS to the
political bee, we don't know the
shape or color, but it seems it was
not a honey maker for some who
nurtured it.

TEARING AWAY IF LOWELL PLUME LINING
 KEYNES QUESTION

As result of recent heavy rains practically the entire supplemental floor of the Lowell Creek Hume has been carried out. It is estimated that approximately 84,OOO feet of timber was torn out" and splintered.
 The supplemental floor was con- posed of 4 X 4 material laid length wise to protect the initial floor from securing. nvestig a t i o n disclOSeS that the first action of boulders dashing thru the 12-foot Hume, ground down the floor lin- ing to less than an inch in thick ness in some instances, and these fragments were eventually ham, mered loose by other boulders rac- ing thru the Hume.
 Debris from the destruction was scattered along the beach from Seward to Lowell Point and the proportion of it has been gathered for this winters fire-wood.
 The tearing away of the Hume lining has revived the question of ultimate steps necessary to pre- vent recurrence of the damage. This may come at any season where high waters are prevalent.
 It is known that one group of en- gineers favor turning the course of the spillway northward and di- agonally across the low country to the lagoon where the new road crosses to near "Porcupine City"
 Another idea is to follow the plan of hydraulic miners and line the Hume with octagon- shaped blocks cut from heavy spruce anc set on ends to offer resistance .tt erosion, while another plan under consideration is the placing of rail. road iron on the floor to protec' the timber from securing.

Quiet Times In
Police Circles

1t may be spring fever, or just
a natural slump in the recent rush
of police business in Ell Centro and
Imperial county, but whatever the
cause, both police department and
sheriff's office yesterday, last night
and this morning were enjoying a
forced rest period.
The crime depression was felt in
police court this morning when only
two defendants appeared before
Judge j. e. Simpson. They were
Hervey Krouse, "a, and r. d. Reg
ier, 27, charged with disturbing the
peace in a local restaurant. Both
were released on $5 bail to appear
this afternoon.
At the sheriff's office the inactiv-
ity was as acute. Officers were en-
gagged in the routine business of
maintaining order and escorting
prisoners to court, but aside from
that could find little of startling
nature on which to work.
The report sheet in the sheriffs
office showed only a report of one
stolen automobile and of the es-
cape of a boy from the juvenile
home in Imperial.

SOUTHERN SUFFERING

CYMPATHY of the entire nation goes
~ out to the tornado stricken area in the
southern states, where over 200 persons
lost their lives in Mondays devastating
storm.
Other hundreds suffered serious in
jury, while damage to their homes and
property losses will reach millions.
Most Of the victims are from the rurai
areas which have been unusually hard hit
IN the past few years from drought and
the general effects of the economic crisis.
This last scourge places an extremely
difficult burden on those who survive the
storm raVages.
Alabama bears the brunt of the suffer
ing with death total of 220, which may
be increased when relief expeditions are
able to penetrate the area now closed to
them
No appeal for aid has been made out
side the confines of the state, officials
feeling at this time that they will be able
to take care of their own unfortunates.
If an outside appeal should become
necessary, the people of the nation will
find some way to answer it, despite the
general distress, for with all our faults
we have not entirely forgotten the old
fundamental of charity.
