OUR BIRTHDAY

pASSlNG practically unnoticed was FL
Centro's 9th birthday, which occur
red yesterday, July 5.
The files of The Press show that the
town plat was filed on July s. 1905.
The Press of July 5. 1912, comment
ing on the towns seventh birthday, calls
attention to the progress that has been
made in that length of time.
when that plat was filed" the article
states, there was not a tree, a house or
even a tent, on what is now the site of
prosperous and progressive city of 1000
persons
Fine and dandy, but the Ell Centro of
July 5, 1912 is as far behind the Ell Gen.
tro of July 5, 1882. as the original site
was behind the town of 1000 persons.
Today we have city of which any res
ident may be proud. All the convent
ences of modern city life are available
to us (minus street cars which may be
considered a convenience by some).
Paved streets, modern stores, attractive
buildings, excellent educational and re-
ligious institutions, up-to-date efficient
transportation, splendid highways-these
are just few of the things that have
been accomplished since July 5, 1905.

too elated over the change We still
have much to do There are yet many
unattractive places throughout the city,
although the ran1shackle dwelling of
pioneer days has rapidly given way to
more modern homes.
We still have plenty of weeds, bare
spots, unsightly vacant lots, homes and
buildings in need of paint and repair
to mention few of our shortcomings.
Every city has such drawbacks, but we
do not make much effort to reduce ours
to the minimum.
The setting is here for a beautiful
home city, and the recent tree-planting
campaign is one of the most desirable
steps vet taken to make it such.
Perhaps one of our greatest drawbacks
is that too many of us live here year
after year without acquiring the feeling
that El Centre is "our" city, "our" home
and that it is up to us to make it at
tractive. How many consider the "home
town" as the place 'back east from
which we came, instead of giving that
recognition to Ell Centre?
We believe that this failure to consider
Ell Centro as "home" is quite prevalent
here, and furthermore that it is a serious
handicap.
There is every reason to be proud of

that what seemed to be big, cir
Gus elephant was just large, gray
rock. 1t was shaped like an ele-
phant, with a big head, four legs
and tail. A burdock plant, with
big leaves, growing on one side of
the rock, looked lust like the ears
of an elephant. Hanging down the
front of the rock was a trailing
clump of honeysuckle vines that
looked just like an elephants
trunk.
when the wind blows said
Uncle Wiggily, "those vines move
and it looks as if my elephant were
swinging his trunk"
"Oh, just love your elephaG,
Unkie Wig!" laughed Baby Bunty.
1T is almost as good as an adven-
ture," She and the rabbit gentle
man stood looking at the stone
elephant when, all of a sudden, an
adventure happened. The Fuzzy
Fox, hungry for Dummies, jumped
out of the bushes and darted to-
ward Uncle Wiggily. Baby Bunty
shouted:
'Oh, if your elephant were only
real now, Unkie Wig, he could
catch that fox!"
whats this about an elephant?"
snarled the Fox. He stopped just
as he was going to nip Mr.. Long
ears and then the wind blew the
honeysuckle vine, making 1t seem
as if the elephant we're lifting his
trunk. The Bad Chap gave one
look at the rock elephant and,
thinking it was real, he loudly
howled and away he ran.
"Ha Hal" laughed Bunty. "The
stone elephant was as good as real"
Mr.. Longears thought SO himself.
And if the mud turtle will wipe his
feet before he goes walking with

Baby Bunty, the little orphan rab-
bit, hoped over the fields and
through the woods, looking for
some of the other rabbit children
of Uncle Wiggily's bungalow. But
though Bunty looked in many
places, not a bunny could she find
and she was feeling sad and lone
some when. all at once, she heard
a rustling in the bushes.
"Oh, 1 hope the Bob Cat isn't
going to jump outl" thought Baby
Bunty, and she made ready to run.
But no Bad Chap came out. 1t
was only Uncle Wiggily himself.
"Oh, I'm SO glad to see you,
Unkie Wig!" laughed Bunty, using
all the baby talk she was allowed,
just two words.
And I'm glad to see you," an
swered the rabbit gentleman. But
why are you out here all alone,
Bunty?"

INVESTIGATION NEEDED

THE director of the state department of
public institutions, Dr. j. M. Toner,
promises full investigation of charges
that brutality exists at the Whittier state
school for delinquent boys.
Charges have been made by the mother
of San Diego boy who is an inmate of
the school, that the youngster had been
cruelty beaten by a husky Negro "mon-
itor''.
1t is only right that the investigation
should be made at once, so that the
school authorities may be cleared or pun
ished as the evidence develops.
Wayward youngsters are sent to the
school in the hope that they may find
themselves and develop into useful cit
liens. 1t is essential that they be taught
to recognize and submit to discipline, but
this discipline should not be administer
ed in an inhumane manner.
If the school officials are carrying on
their work in the proper manner, they
should have the full backing of the state.
1t the contrary is true they should be
removed, or at least the undesirable con-
ditions should be corrected
A wayward youngster can be diff
cult proposition to handle. He can also
be made to realize that he is on the
wrong track and with proper encourage
ment and assistance, can grow out of his
waywardness. The result is largely up
to the type of officials who conduct the
institution.
1t is most important that they be of
the right type for if they are not, the
school, instead of being a corrective in
stitution, becomes only breeding place
for more criminals
