THE BOYS CALL

A Boy Scout means a good citizen"
II This remark, often heard, has par
ticular meaning for the people Of Ell
Centre this week, for they are asked to
give practical proof Of their belief in
the phrase by contributing to the cam
paign for funds to enable the Boy Scout
work to be continued here.
There is no real need TO sell" the
worthwhileness Of the Boy Scout move
ment to thinking people. It's practical
ity and its usefulness are indelibly
stamped in the minds of all.
Adults know the need of proper train
ing for youths, for all Of Us have been
youths at one time. We cannot help but
look back now and again and recognize
times in our lives when We would have
been better and happier. had we been
given the right counsel and the right
opportunity for carrying It out at the
proper time.
The Boy Scout movement gives this
advantage to the boy who is enrolled
in its ranks. 1t helps him to make good
use of his leisure hours which educators
and all who deal with boys, recognize as
the most dangerous hours in their lives.
These hours can be used to help the boy
become a strong, upright and honorable
man, or they can be neglected and per-
mitted to turn out another Wastrel to
become a barnacle on decent society.
In appealing to the people of FL Cen
tro to support the campaign, the busi-
nessmen of this city, who are giving
their time and energy this week because
they believe in the need of the Boy Scouts,
feel that their plea is a deserving one.
No large amount is asked. The bud
pet to carry on the work for the next
year has been pared down to the bone
and every needless item, and some need
ed ones which can be dispensed with
temporarily, has been eliminated
These businessmen feel that 1t is up
to Ell Centro to show its willingness to
aid those who will be its future business
men and citizens. The kind of men who
will step into El Centro's business and
social life 10 years from now, depends
on the sort of boys whom we have to-
day.
Nobody is asked to give more than he
can afford, Just for the sake of appear
ances, or in the belief that he has to do
what the other fellow does. All are
asked to contribute as much as they can.
There is nothing any more desirable
than wholesome, healthy and happy
boys. These businessmen are trying to
help develop that sort here in Ell Centre.
They do not believe that the people OF ri

RUNAWAY BOYS
FROM PASADENA
LOCATED HERE

Their business careers came to
an abrupt end at the county Jail
yesterday afternoon for two youths
who left Pasadena several weeks
ago bent on conouering the world,
and Harold Gillett and Fred Elliott,
deputy sheriffs, were the factors
which ended two budding careers.
The boys, Gerald Monroe, 16, and
Bill Long, 10, were discovered at
the Barbara Worth golf course,
where they were chaufferuring golf
clubs for q living, meanwhile stay
ing at an auto court in Holtville
They are held today pending
word from E. I. Monroe, father of
Gerald. 1t was he who reported
10 the sheriffs office here several
days ago that the boys probably
were in Imperial Valley.
He heard from Gerald, the father
said, March 5, when the boy wrote
to say he was working for an auto
mobile agency in Ell Centro Off
GERS checked this information, but
could learn nothing regarding the
whereabouts of the boys.
Information cleaned later led to
finding the boys yesterday after
noon on the golf course, where both
were acting as caddies.

CELESTIALS USE
SCOTCH SYSTEM
IN FAMILY NAME

Something of a problem in racial
practice presented itself at the
county Jail yesterday afternoon,
when five more Chinese were
booked on charges Of illegal entry
into the United States.
While practically running around
in circles attempting properly to
pronounce a Chinese name spelled
with a mere two letters, Jailer
Eddie Nett at the same time was
contending it is a family name,
even though fastened to the front
end of the name instead of the last.
Only one thing was certain. If
the two-letter word is a family
name, all the Chinese in the county
Jail at the present time are mem
bers of one family, for the name
of each begins with Ng.
The Chinese booked yesterday,
after their arrest near CaleXico by
Inspectors Stone and Oliver of the
immigration service, were Ng Hook
Neon, so, Ng Sc Foor, 81, Ng Yee
Neien, 80, Ng How, 40, and Ng Mon,
A.
These joined several other Chin
ese, all of whose names begin with
Ng, in the immigration tank of the
iail.

Are YOU Santa lI0uS!

I'll tell you why said Uncle
Wiggily. You see around Christ
mas time everybody is talking
about and going to see Santa Claus.
They all love him then and make
a great fuss over the jolly old chap,
which is quite all right and as 1t
should be. But afte" Christmas
has come and gone, everyone seems
to forget about Santa Claus. They
never go TO see him or speak OF
him. I think the jolly old saint
must be lonesome after Christmas
50 now I am going to see him and
cheer him up.

thought of that!" exclaimed Nurse
Jane. "Hal Ha! Ugh! Ugh! Ker

it to pin sheet on the line.

Hop alongl' cried Nurse Jane.
y hope you have fine adven-
ture."
Uncle Wiggily hoped over the
fields and through the woods. He
did not quite know where to look
for Santa Claus. But, seeing on a
hill a clump Of evergreen trees, the
rabbit said to himself:
These must be next years
Christmas trees. Very likely Santa
Claus will be up there looking to
see how they are growing 50 he
can pick out some on which he will
hang presents when Christmas
comes next December. III go up

OBEY THE LAWS

OWNERS of dogs and cats should make
u every effort to live up to the laws
governing control of these animals, es-
peeially AT this time when warning of
rabies epidemic has been given by the
health authorities.
Persons owning such pets are TO be
admired for having in their character
that regard or love for dumb animals
that makes them seek their companions
ship. 1t Is a highly desirable trait in
anyone, for those who are good to dumb
beasts are usually good to their fellow
men.
At the same time, ownership of cats
and dogs imposes a two-fold duty. The
owners should not merely be content
with giving their pets a home, but they
should also give attention to their
health. And above all they should re-
spect the rights of others, where the an
imals are concerned.
Vicious dogs should not be permitted
10 roam at large, nor should eats be free
from surveillance, for both breeds can
cause considerable damage to humans
and property.
The health laws governing animals
are designed so that no hardship is i'm
posed upon them. Owners of pets work
no hardship on them by complying with
the law, and in so doing, they prove their
regard for animals and their respect for
the rights of their neighbors.

Back in 1857 Walt Whitman was

itorial about 1t for the Brooklyn
Daily Times, which the Golden Book
Magazine quotes:
For the land has been shaken as
by an earthquake, and the founda-
tions of industry are dried, the arm
of the worker is palsied. the cum
ming hand is motionless, and the
hum and stir of busy commerce
are changed to the detected silence
of a day of national fasting and hui
initiation.
