Outdoor Amusements
SEASIDE PARK.

@HE easy accessibility and the
spaciousness of Seaside PARK,
Chesapeake Beach, makes the
bay resort attractive these days
to large organizations which
hold their annual outings at this Time
of the year.
During the past week more than
dozen Sunday schools and various other
clubs and societies held enjoyable re-
unions at the bay shore. On Thursday
most of She Episcopal Sunday schools
Of washington gathered at Seaside
Park, and yesterday the Christian
Church Sunday schools were visitors.
Mondays and Fridays are family DAYS
at Seaside, and now, with schools closed
housewives are taking advantage OF the
opnortllnity to give their children an
ENJOYABLE outing at very little expense.
Seaside Park is the playground OF all
the Summer cottagers along the bay
shore. Every evening the Summer
colony at Chesapeake visits the park TO
enjoy the various amusements or to
dance in the boardwalk ball room.
GLEN ECHO PARK.

"A any other day, for that matter, is
Glen Echo Park. Whether 1t Is SKIM

Speaking Of thrillers, there are plenty
of sensations attached to the big roller
coaster, the airplane swings, the whip
oodgem ride and old mill. One OF the
star attractions this year, as well as
last, is the magnificent new swimming
pool, which is the last word in SANTA
tion and convenience. Glen Echo makes
a special bid for picnic parties, provid-
ing chairs, benches, tables and every
thing necessary for complete enjoyment
of the outdoors. Every evening except
Sunday an orchestra plays in the ball
room from $3.50 until 1880. Cars

PAY DISTRICT TAXES BY LABOR
SUGGESTED BY CALEXICO WOMAN

The Press has received the fol-
lowing letter and suggestion from
Mrs. Laura Sheppard of Calexico
Editor Imperial VALLEY Press,
El Centre, Calf.
Dear sir:
As a teacher in the CaleXico
high school and a taxpayer in I'm
perial Valley, my future is in
extricably linked with the future
of Imperial Valley. I have watched
the difficulties in the affairs OF
the Imperial Irrigation district
with growing alarm since no real
solution seemed to be forthcoming.
If the suggestion which 1 have
made here seems to you suffi-
GENTLY valuable, 1 hope that you
will print it so that it will come
to the attention Of as many of the
people of Imperial Valley as pos
sible. If it can be applied to q
solution OF the present problem, I
shall be very happy to have been
of service to the harassed farmer
of Imperial Valley.
-. Very truly yours,
(MRS.) LAURA SHEPPARD.
CaleXico, Calf.

Twenty-Five years ago Imperial
Valley was made with little money
and much labor. Today the canals,
which these men Of less complex
generation built, are sitting full
at our very doors, and the argu-
ment grows bitter as to how our
little money is to be applied. Let
us examine our problem in the
spirit Of our pioneer ancestors. Let
this acrimonious debate be for
gotten while we ponder our safety
in a spirit of common brotherhood.
Imperial Valley must have water,
and to secure it the canals must
be dredged The failure Of the I'M
perial Valley farmers to pay their
taxes is due to the fall in price Of
farm products. Farm commodities
may continue not to yield an ade-
quate price for an indefinite period
to come; yet the people OF this
valley must remain on their farms.
The present controversy seems
to miss the point entirely in that
it centers only upon when and how
extra charges may be assessed and
Imperial Valley press., 1932-06-03

neglects the question which is more
pertinent: How can present charges
be paid? AS taxpayer I offer this
suggestion, trusting that it can be
adapted to the practical needs of
the situation.
The Imperial Irrigation district
cannot dredge the canals, because
it does not have the money to buy
labor. Let the farmers pay their
taxes in labor until the last canal
is dredged. This is the obvious
answer which will keep the canals
open and save our homes. Nor do
see how either side in the present
quarrel can object to so simple a
solution of the problem, if these
men sincerely desire the welfare
of Imperial Valley.
Payment of taxes in labor is not
without precedent, since in many
states road taxes have been paid
in that manner, nor is it imprac-
ticable, for the men who built these
canals are still with us and can
surely remove the silt.
Legal controversy is amusing
sport for more prosperous times,
but we would do we'll to leave it
until the end of the depression and
in the meantime devote ourselves
to the essentials of life. When the
flood threatened the farms in 1905,
did the men of Imperial Valley
start legal proceedings to determine
who should handle a shovel? The
difficulty that we face now is not
less real.
Let us compromise our quarrels
and turn our attention through the
farm bureau to an intelligent
study of legislation now pending IN
congress to aid the farmer. When
we have debated the matter calmly
and seriously, the farmers of I'm
perial Valley might express an
opinion as unit to our representa-
tives in congress. We would do
well to remember the oft quoted
advice: Let us hang together, or
we may all hang separately"

FIX IDENTITY OF
MEXICAN KILLED
IN CAR CRASH

An inquest at Brawley yesterday
had disclosed that Calletano Es-
coyed, Mexican ranch laborer, and
not John Dominguez, was killed in
a Tuesday night automobile acci-
dent two miles west of Westmor-
land, and a coroner's jury reached
verdict that Escoved died as the
result of an accident
Officials had thought Dominguez
was killed because the car driven
by the victim was registered to him,
but it was explained at the inquest
that the car had been sold some
time ago, and the registration had
not been changed.
Domingo Rodriguez, companion
of Escoved, was held at the county
jail for investigation, but probably
will be released without a charge
being filed. Rodriguez was too
drunk to give his name or the name
of his companion after the crash.
AT the inquest Rodriguez was
surprised to learn that the man
who had been with him, and who
was killed, was EscoVed. Before
viewing the body he testified his
companion had been Chano Mo-
reno, another Mexican who worked
with him on a ranch three miles
west of Westmorland.
After looking at the body, how
ever. he declared the dead man was
Calletano Escoved. Other witnesses
declared Moreno had not been ON
the drinking party which ended in
accidental death.
The inquest was held at Thorn
tons undertaking establishment at
BraWley, under the direction of
Coroner Bert Underwood. d. Il.
Wolford, chief criminal deputy dis
trict attorney. examined witnesses.

Motion pictures of the Sharkey- Schmeling fight and Confessions of g Co-Ed" will be repeated to- night at the Capitol theatre.
 The pugilistic film shows the best rounds of the battle between the American and the German for the heavyweight championship of the world in the Yankee Stad- ium in New York City in 1880. To theatre patrons here details of the famous ring contest will be seen more clearly than it was by occupants of those Stadium seats that were distant from the ringside.
 The pictures offer spectators splendid opportunity to weigh the merits of the two men and to de- termine whether either is worthy of championship honors.
 Confessions of a Co-Ed" is an inside story of modern college youth Its action centers around the helter-skelter activities of the young people that make up the present day college population.

''DECE|vER" TO BE GIVEN AGAIN
 BY REQUEST
Back-stage Play Will Be Presented at Capitol
 Saturday Only

By popular request, The De- ceiver,' will be presented at the Capitol theatre again tomorrow night. The interesting back stage drama, which stars Dorothy Be- bastian and Ian Keith, was shown last Sunday only. Under usual practice of the management of the playhouse, the attraction would have been repeated last Monday night, but Father Bernard R. Hub bard engaged the theatre for his lecture on volcanic explorations that evening. Many persons who are either unable or unwilling to attend Sunday performances, wish to see the "The Deceiver," so MT Eric Paulson, manager of the Cap itol, has concluded to offer the photoplay tomorrow.
 Founded on Stage Life
 ''The Deceiver" concerns itself with a stage company, and more particularly with the relations of the handsome leading man to oth- CT members of the group. Regi- nald Thorpe, played by Keith, brought romance and glamor into the lives of all those who saw him on the stage-he was every wo- mans ideal of romantic hero But underneath his classic profile and his charming manners, he was a true villain, disliked and distrusted by all who really knew him.
 Suspicion Points to All
 When he is found murdered in his dressing room every member of the company is under suspic- ion. Any one of them had a pos sible motive for desiring to do away with him-anything from blackmail to jealousy and unre- quilted love.
 The process of narrowing it down to the real culprit is done in a remarkably clever manner.
