PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

THIS is public schools week, an annual
Il event in California, and in past years
an occasion which has been particularly
we'll observed in FL Centro
Its sole object is to stimulate among
adults, greater interest in the schools
and their work. 1t is intended not only
for those who have boys and girls at
tending the schools but for all adults
There is much talk these days of
schools. Much of it is concerned with
the cost of education. Yet how many
who talk of this cost know anything
about what the schools are doing and
what it costs to operate them? What
does the average man, even though he
may have children in school, know of the
studies they pursue. the character of the
work required of them, the relations be-
tween the teachers and their pupils or.
the duty which they-the parents-owe
in connection with their children's at
tendance and work in the schools?
1t is safe to say that only a very small
percentage of parents pay any atten-
ton to school matters, aside from see
ing that their children go there daily.
Adults who have no children in school,
possibly know as little about the schools
as they do about Einstein's theory of
relativity.
The object in holding a public schools
week is to give those who foot the bills
the taXpayers-an opportunity to inves-
tigate for themselves just what the
schools are doing.
During the week there will be special
exercises in all the schools but in the
main the same curriculum that is main
tanned throughout the year will hold the
attention of teachers and pupils.
Adults are asked to visit the schools
and observe their work 1t is not essen
tial that their visit be a lengthy one if
they cannot afford the time though they

RENEWED START
ANNOUNCED FOR
CLEANUP DRIVE

Postponed by reason of the whims
Of mother nature and high wind,
El Centro's Clean Up and Paint
Up campaign today got away to
its second start with renewed vigor.
Sponsored by the El Centro Jun
ior Chamber of Commerce, the
campaign has the backing of prac-
tically every civic organization in
the city, as well as the police and
fire departments and city hall Of
ficials. Various commercial firms
also planned today to take an &C
tive hand in the drive TO make El
Centro a better place in which to
live.
Tom Reams. fire chief, is one
of the most active sponsors of the
Clean Up campaign, pointing out
that it serves a practical purpose
not only in Frightening the city to
the eye, but removes considerable
danger from fire hazards.
Sponsors of the drive have point
ed out that residents of FL Centro,
in joining the movement, may do
much to relieve the local unem-
ployment situation by affording
work to the city's jobless in clean
ing up vacant lots, painting houses
and performing other odds and
ends of labor. Names of deserv-
ing laborers may be obtained from
the city engineer or from relief Or
ganizations here.

Local Students
Drawing Chosen

The prize offered by the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce for the
best silhouette drawing of an old
western stagecoach by a student
of Central Union high school has
been awarded to Odel Farmer.
Farmer, together with several other
art students under the direction of
Mrs. Thelma T. Ray, submitted sill
houette stage coach drawings and
Robert Hays, manager of the local
chamber. states that it was with
great difficulty that the winner
was chosen, as all drawings sub
mitted were exceptionally good.
The drawing is to be used on
material publicizing the Imperial
Highway, including sign posts, post
ers and stationery for the various
hotels on the Imperial route and
the artist will have the satisfac-
ton of seeing his name on these
drawings which will mark the
route of the new Imperial High
way, once the old Butterfield stage
route.
Hays states that Farmers draw
ing was chosen because it was best
adapted to use on posters and sign
boards and yet carefully followed
the lines of the old western stage,
rather than the more luxurious
outlines of the English stage coach
and the early French type. y
Odel Farmer is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. P. Farmer of this city.
His father is we'll known men,
ber of the FL Centro police force.

UNCLE WIGGILYs HONEY BUG

Once upon time, when Uncle
Wiggily was hopping along through
the woods thinking how lovely
everything was and feeling very
happy, all of a sudden, from be-
meath a clump of grass, the rabbit
gentleman heard sad voice
saying:
"Oh, dear!' 49,
Il wonder what can be the mat
ter?" thought the rabbit gentle
man. There is some one under
the grass, but it must be a very
small animal so it cannot be any
of the Bad Chaps" Again the
voice said:
"Oh, dear"
Who are you and what is the
matter?" asked Uncle Wiggily
hopping over toward the grass.
Il am a poor little mouse girl, y
vas the answer.
We'll, there is no need Of being
sad just because you are a mouse,
said the rabbit gentleman with a
laugh Think what a fine long
tail you have, and then look at my
little stubby one.'
oh, yes, am glad that l have
a long tall squeaked the mouse
girl as she crawled from beneath
the grass where Uncle Wiggily

! herself. So as he hoped along
thinking, all of a sudden he
reached a place where some sweet
flowers were growing. Fitting over
the flowers was a honey bug, or
bee. Uncle Wiggily liked best to
call bee honey bug and think
that's good name, don't you?
Hello, honey bug!" greeted the
rabbit gentleman, what are you
doing this beautiful morning?'
"I am gathering sweet juices
from the flowers" buzzed the bee.
Il will suck up the juice into a
little bag I carry, and when I
reach my hive home I will pour
the juice into some wax cups.
Then it will turn into honey and
in winter, when there are no
flowers, we bees will eat the honey
We have stored away"
Have you enough honey in your
hive to give some to a poor little
mouse girl for her party, if she
should come and ask for it?' in
CURED the rabbit gentleman.
"Oh, yes" buzzed the honey
bug. Send the little mouse girl to
our hive. We will not sting her but
we will give her some honey which
will be as good as candy for her
party"
"Finew said Uncle Wiggily. He
hoped back to where the mouse
girl waited for him. She had now
curled her long tail into the let
ter c. Go to the meadow where
the sweet flowers grow" said Uncle
Wiggily. Near there you will find
a bee hive of honey bugs. They
will give you sweets for your
party
"Oh, how lovely!' squeaked the
little mouse girl. Mr.. Longears
made her a little pail from some
birch bark, and this pail the bees
filled with honey. 1t was just like
candy and when it came time fol
the party all the other little mice
girls who came to it said they had
never tasted anything SO good
Uncle Wiggily also was at the
party and he told some funny
stories which made the mice chill
dren laugh. And then they al!
went home having had a wonder
ful time.
So if the garden hose will let

the flower bed while the board
walk is playing house, I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily's leaky
roof.

vote that comes TO them only once
every four years.
Residents Of the district are not
allowed to vote. They. are forbid
den, in fact, by law. The Repub-
lican and Democratic parties give
them a little break" They let
them vote every four years in
party primaries to select delegates
to the national conventions. Then,
when the conventions are over and
have selected the presidential can
didates. residents of the district
must let the states do the voting.
The Republicans will send two
delegates to the national conven-
ton and they have a most COM
plicated machinery for doing it.
First Republican voters send in
their names to Republican head
quarters. There is no registration
machinery and so it is done that
way. Then these names are sent to

precinct holds its own primary elec-
ton TO elect delegates to a con-
vention. Then the convention,
meeting May 5, picks the two dele
gates.
The Democrats are more liberal
They have six delegates at their

system. There are % Democratic

Chief Says Wind
Is Fire Menace

Residents of Ell Centro are
urged to refrain from burning
trash during the present period OF
high winds, Fire Chief Tom Reams
pointing out the fire hazard in
volved.
"If fire broke out in Ell Cen
tro," said the chief today, "the
wind would spread it until there
were no more buildings to burn.
Nothing could stop it if it once
broke away.
Burning trash in high wind
constitutes the greatest fire men,
ace there is. 1t not only endangers
nearby property but also endangers
the whole town. Lives would be
menaced also and that is the worst
part. Fire with high wind behind
it is seldom checked"
The chief suggested that resi-
dents keep their collections OF
trash until the wind subsidies.
