QUALITY. We have concentrated on
quality tires for more than 3s years. During
the boom, people paid less attention to quail
ity, but they want it now. They're buying
Kelly-Spring6eld tires.
SAFETY. To prevent injuries or fatal
accidents from a skid or blown-out tire,
we have developed the toughest tire carcass
ever known. In road trials, our heavily
loaded trucks and cars run ~ hours day
through mountain roads. We must know that
Kelly-Spring6elds are the safest tires made.
MILEAGE. The toughest tire jobs in
the country are choosing Kelly-Springfeld
tires. Mileage! Kelly-Springhelds furnish
the greatest non.skid mileage of any tires.
PRICE. BY concentrating our entire re-
sources on quality we are able to make
Kelly-Spring6elds the safest, longest wear

the price you pay for ordinary tires.

RELIEF BODY

From 10 to 20 persons come to the
Ell Centre Chamber Of Commerce
daily looking for relief, stated Rob-
ert Hays, manager of the cham
ber, land when asked who sent
them they Invariably say they were
sent by some resident to chamber
headquarters, where they were
told they would get help from the
relief committee.
while we are anxious to help
the needy in every way possible, "
Hays continued, I'VE can only send
these persons to the Red Cross or
Salvation Army headquarters for
relief, as all relief money is being
expended by these and other char
liable organizations. None if it is
being handled by the chamber as
we are not in position to study
these cases, nor to give help where
it is needed.
ut would therefore save much
inquiry on the part of those in need
of help, and many discouraging and
useless interviews on the part of
the chamber staff, if the people of
Ell Centre, when asked for money,
meals or assistance, would refer the
needy person to the Salvation Army
or Red Cross. Both of these organ
izations have relief work well in
hand, are equipped to care for de-
serving persons and are in po-
sition to check up and see that
only those who are deserving get
help"
There seems to be general op-
inion throughout the city that the
Central Relief Committee main
tains headquarters at the Ell Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce. The
Central Relief Committee does not
maintain headquarters for distrib-
ution of food, money or clothes,
but is distributing help through
the recognized charitable organiza-
tions of the city, and it is this
misunderstanding which Hays wish
eS to clear up in order that those in
need of help may be sent where
they will receive aid. That is to
either the Red, Cross or Salvation
Army.
"The chamber staff gave. cleri-
cal aid during the drive to raise
money for the Central Relief Com
mittee and endorsed tnis subscrip-
tion method of raising money" F"
stated Hays, land it is for this rea-
son that the public has received the
impression that We are admins
tering relief"

NEW YORK, Dec. I7.-Tne road
to higher standard of living in
the United States lies in an in
.creasing use of the machine and an
increase rather than a decrease in
work for the people of America,
James d. Mooney, president of Cen
eral Motors Export corporation,
declared today.
Describing published accounts of
"Technocracy' as picturing a prof.
est comparable to Communism,
Mooney held, in an exclusive in
terview with the United Press, that
such a system was unavoidable in
this country, and that the Ameri-
can economic theology, free COM
petition operating under a price
system, today can develoy within
itself the cure for our economic
ills" ls.sl.nRI
"Technocrats who hold that a
breakdown would be inevitable if
the 1929-1932 ratio of decline we're
maintained for another two years
may be right" he declared. ''Much
remains to be done. 1t is obvious
that we are today suffering from
a one sided deflation. Salaries,
wages and commodity prices have
been deflated, but many groups of
values remain at inflated levels.
Requires Development
'The price and rate structure
are today still out of balance. In
the field of international politics,
closely interviewer with economics,
the entire debt and trade situation
requires reestimation and clarifica-
ton.
"If believed that American in
genuity, honesty of mind and in
dividual courage were not able to
cope with these last remaining
stages of deflation I should feel.
with the gloomy philosophers of
democracy, that a breakdown was
inevitable. But every indication
points to the solution of these
problems, and every business lead
er OF the country is intent upon
their solution.

that at such time doubling

PESKY SNOW
RAISES NED

Pioneers from all points of the
valley continue to converge on The
Press with positive assertions as
70 the date of the big snow dur
ing the beginnings of settlement
in this section.
The last one was George w.
House who declares it was in jan
uary of 1902 but cannot remember
the exact day. Mr.. and Mrs. House
and Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Rose were
living in the Silsbee neighborhood
when the snow took place.
During the worst of the snow
storm, who should ask for shelter
but d. L. "Scotty' RUSSELL said
House. "He came in all wet and
cold and the women dried his
clothes and cooked him a hot meal.
He said at the time there were
two women he would never forget
Mrs. House and Mrs. Rose.
Mrs. Leroy Holt declared that
she knows the snow storm came
on January %, 1902, for she ar
rived in the valley on that day
with her two children and was
greeted by bitter cold weather and
snow. In 1910 she delivered a talk
for the women's club on the pio-
neer days in the valley and for
that program looked up the date
of the first snow and found it to

Two splendid productions will be
presented this weekend at United
Artists theatre for the entertain
ment of Ell Centrans.
Tonight THE Mask of Flu Man
chu," filmization of Sax Rhomer's
famous mystery story will be fea-
tured at the local theatre. Thrills
of every sort from the uncanny
laboratory where artificial lightning
and a mysterious death ray" are
created, to grim Oriental torture
chambers play a part in the strange
story which starts in the eerie
Limehouse section of London and
shifts to Egypt and the Orient.
The plot is concerned with Dr.
Flu Manchu's resolve to attain world
dominion. Knowing that scientists
have located the tomb of Ghengis
Khan who centuries ago almost
conquered Europe, he attempts to
loot the tomb, use the sword and
mask buried with the dead leader
and proclaim himself the reincar-
nation of the warrior. Thus he
believes he will be able to start a
united Asiatic uprising. Nayland
Smith of Scotland Yard learns of
his plot and their battle of wits
supports the main thread of the
story.
Boris Karloff plays Flu Manchu;
Lewis Stone is seen as the dectec-
tive and the romatic leads are play
ed by Karen Morley and Charles
Starrett. Myrna 10y is the Euras-
ian daughter of the monster, Flu
Manchu. Prominent roles are filled
by Jean Hersholt. Lawrence Grant
and David Terrence under the dir
ection of Charles Brabin.
On Sunday the glamorous Con-
stance Bennett will play her most
dramatic role in "Rockabye," where,
as the fascinating Judy Carroll, she
plays a part which calls for the
full display of her varied talents
as an actress.
Judy Carroll is a gamin of
the streets who climbs to the pos
ition Of leading actress in sophis-
ticated drawing room comedies un-
der the tutelage of a manager who
adores her. A scandal gives her
undesirable notoriety, illustrates
her in her desire to adopt a child,
but at last she meets with a great
love which she sacrifices because
of her intense love for children.
Beautiful and more gorgeously
gowned than ever. Miss Bennett
moves against a background of
smartness and elegance in Rock
abye" and is supported by Joel
McCrea and Paul Lukas in the
leading mems roles. Jobyna How
land, Clare Blandick, Hazel Jones,
M. Kerrigan and little Jane Filmer
also play important parts.

De Anza To Haze
NeU Years Part,

Indications are that Calexico will
re-enter the field of cities this year
that stage genuine New Years Eve
parties. Announcement of the Ho-
tel de ANA found in yesterdays is
sue of The Press is evidence the
party which Manager Edwin H. Lee
OF the De ANA is planning will be
the most complete Calexico has
ever had in welcoming in any of
the 30 new years in its history.
Fortunately for Calexico and the
hotel, there is little likelihood that
any pretentious celebrations will be
held in the valley this New Years
Eve. At least, none has been an
nounced.
Manager Lee has shown himself
to be alive to the sort of entertain
ment'Valley people like and he is
sparing no pains to provide an ex-
cellent dinner, fine music and a
general good time for those who
will be glad to usher out the some
what veXing 1882 to be replaced by
more hopeful and promising new
one.

CARLOAD
Of LETTUCE

Imperial Valleys lettuce season
opened yesterday when the first
cars of lettuce went out, one ship
ped by John Zenos and one by Mu-
tual Packing Co., thus giving Ell
Centric credit for getting out the
first car.
Lettuce shipments this year are
somewhat later than last year ac-
cording to the Federal State Mar
ket News service office in Brawley,
the delay being due to the late
warm weather of this fall which
also injured quality somewhat, and
the recent rainstorm which pre-
vented cutting of lettuce unit the
fields dried out.
In the last few days the eastern
market has strengthened, today's
market ranging from $3.50 to SO per
crate, which, while considerably
lower than the opening markets
of previous years, is in line with
prices paid at shipping points.
Market news service reports New
York market firm this morning,
also Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
with Chicago off somewhat. The
Phoenix deal is in full swing and
will not be over until January.
Quality in Phoenix is excellent and
it is anticipated that later valley
lettuce will maintain the usual high
standard, early lettuce having been
harmed slightly by the warm fall

WRECK BRINGS
TERM IN JAIL

Convicted of a drunk driving
charge in Brawley police court,
Francisco Morales today began SER
wing 75-day sentence in the coun-
ty jail.
Morales was arrested early Fri
day morning when he overturned
his car west of the Trifolium bridge
on the y-Westmorla and high
way and pinned Christine Robles
beneath the machine.
The injured man was taken to
the county hospital and remainli
unconscious until this morning. At
tending physicians extend hope for
his recovery from head injuries re-
ceived in the accident.
Morales was said to have been
driving his automobile in zig-zag
fashion which finally resulted in
the crash. Walter Walsh of the
California Highway patrol inves-
tigated the accident.

react to prophecies of doom
due to mechanization. Such
projects have been con-
sistent since 1880. Inevitably
the dark days have passed, to
be succeeded by days in which
mans conquest and utilization
of the machine led to a buster,
brighter, happier world, with
more employment for all, more
possessions, more basic values.
Economic processes follow a
standard pattern. You can play
around with terms, but economics
has its roots in certain human
needs and attitudes. You cannot
change economic laws and pro-
cesses, no matter how you change
the terms of them.
'Technocracy' would appear to
be but a group Of new terms and
redefinitions. It would change a
money system to an energy sys-
tenn. A combination of Socialism
and Communism, it would demand
an autocracy to administer it.
OI1erS NO Cnange
Names have been changed many
time before. But the system has
not changed. Nor does technoc-
racy, as described, offer any es-
sential change, unless it be in the
direction of the pattern, which sac
rifices individual liberty and indi-
vidual incentive to an ideal-not
yet proven workable that man will
labor willingly for no other cause
than the welfare of the group.
1.-THE price system" which tech
nocracy' holds untenable, is the
bedrock of the American economic
scheme. 1t is the key which has
unlocked the wealth inherent in
machines, has made us masters OF
machines for more than 100 years
has made machines give us in
creasing values and utilities. The
breakdown of 1929 was not a me-
chanical breakdown. 1t was caused
by a lack of understanding and
respect for economic laws.
"Our machines and tools have
provided us with many material
blessings. Our American ideals
and traditions of political economy
provide us with an excellent basis
for moving forward during the
depression.
Three major elements in our
present economic troubles remain
to be cured. They are:
81. The reestablishment of the
price equilibrium.
"2. The adjustment of our in
ternal debt structure.
80. The adjustment of our for
eign relationships and trade re-
strictions."

MAP SERVICE
IS POPULAR

With the approach of the Christ
mas season, the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce staff reports that
there is as great a demand for
maps as there is in the summer sea-
son. Not only are maps of Cali
fornia and Arizona being asked
for daily but maps of other states
in the Union are also requested by
those who plan to drive home for
the holidays even though the dis
tance may be far.
The local chamber maintains
a map service which includes a
map of every state in the Union
as we'll as maps of the entire
United States. This is the auth
orized guide and map service which
extends throughout the entire
country and has become so popular
that tourists travelling through
Ell Centre stop at the chamber and
request maps from this service.
This service claims to have more
members than all other map SER
vices combined
The maps are revised frequently
and the supply is unlimited, new
maps being furnished to the Ell
Centro chamber and other service
members as often as requested.
This map service is maintained
for the people of Ell Centro and
Imperial Valley as we'll as for the
travelling public, and those who
plan to make trips or who desire
maps of their home states are well
come to them at all times.
