Urge Local Labor
For Post Office

In communication addressed
to Robert Hays, manager of the
El Centro Chamber of Commerce,
j. K. Thomas, manager of the I'm
ion Engineering Co., Ltd, which
was awarded the contract for the
new post office building in this
city, pledges his company to use
local labor in the construction Of
the post office building in so far
as possible.
Thomas states, "You can rest as
sured that we will do all within
reason to favor the local dealers in
any way we possibly can, and ex-
pect to be in Ell Centre shortly to
go into matters more fully"
This letter was written in answer
to one addressed to Thomas by
Hays in which it was urged that
Imperial county building materia
be used wherever possible in the
new federal building. Hays also
urged that local residents be giver
preference for work on this edi-

people. home owners and heads oi
families, are unemployed at the
present time and that the federal
monies appropriated for the E.

jolly twinkle on the end of his
pink nose. He looked at the elf

ming to keep warm and then I'm
Gle Wiggily whispered to himself:
Il think I can guess who you
are. But I'm not going to spoil the
secret by telling you Aloud the
rabbit said: "All right, I'll hop
along with you and look for my
Christmas tree, and you can look
we'll, you can look for whatever
you came down from the North
Pole to look for, my little friend"
"Yes, I'll do that" the elf ex-
claimed, and he, too laughed in a
jolly way while his little eyes twink
led like Uncle Wiggily's pink nose.
AS the two hurried along through
the woods, Uncle Wiggily saw that
the elf kept one hand in the small
pocket of his little coat all the
while Never once did the elf take
his hand out of his coat pocket
What have you in your pocket
that you are so careful off" ask
ed the rabbit.
MY hand" the elf answered,
winking one eye.
Il know you have your hand,
but what else?" asked the rabbit.
That, too, is a secret" said the
man who was no bigger than q
boy. Il can't tell you"
"Then / won't ask" spoke the
rabbit. Il thought perhaps you kept
your hand in your pocket because
it was cold-I mean because your
hand was cold, you know"
Yes, 1 knowl" chuckled the elf.
well, my hand is cold, but that
isn't the reason 1 keep it in my
pocket. am holding on to some
thing in my pocket that l don't
want TO bounce out when we run.
I'll show you what it is after a
while"
But just then, all of a sudden,
the Fox came running through the
woods. The Bob Cat had met the
Fox and told about seeing a giant
and the Fox said he would go see
for himself. So he came upon Uncle
Wiggily and the elf. No sooner did
the little man see the Bad Chap
than he pulled his hand out of his
pocket and there was a horn. And
the elf footed SO loudly on the
horn that the Fox thought the
soldiers were coming to get him, so
he tucked his tail between his legs
and ran away.
The elf gave another toot on his
horn and he and Mr.. Longears
went on looking for Christmas
trees. And if the polka dot dress
doesn't try to change into Scotch
plaid, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and the Elfs secret.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
BUDDING JOURNALISTS

ME nope none Oh ne HfeSS readers OV-
W erlook the school column which is con-
Quoted every Monday by the youngsters
IN Ell Centro's schools.
There is no feature received by this
paper which holds greater interest
among the members of the editorial
staff than the journalistic efforts of the
youngsters, particularly of those in the
lower grades. Wherever possible these
notes are permitted to appear Just as
they are written, without any eXplana-
tions or apologies by the paper They
are youths own expression and not to
be tampered with by finicky adults.
Thus it is that some very alarming
happenings are often reported in this
column. A giraffe CAN go to zoo in
wheelbarrow pushed by man. And
a giraffe CAN sneeze and he CAN have
a name like Baby fiddle Mouse The
pupils at Harding school say these
things happened and that settles it.
And a young lady in Lincoln school
got report that was all highly salts
factory and satisfactory. What more
could be desired? Nothing except that
she has made resolution to get highly
satisfactory report next time.
And while it might have been the
Volunteer that flew over Ell Centre last
week, a damsel in the same school says
it was the Akron and no gentleman will
dispute lady's word even though later
on she says the Akron was the Goodyear.
A lady has time-honored license to
change her mind any time.
There was some doubt in this office
as to whether Los Angeles boy or a
toad. fell into some oil and had to be
scrubbed, but what difference does it
make? The Mckinley school pupils
know which is which and that is all that
is necessary.
A politician is in the making over in
the East Side school. He reports that
nearly everyone in his room got 100 per
cent in spelling for two days. Your pol
itician is always very careful not to give
exact figures unless they are preponder-
antly favorable.
Wilson school? Far be it from US to
be brash enough to make any comments
on the work of those who are finishing
their grammar school education. We
might find ourselves out on limb with
the saw on the wrong side.
Sometimes we have bit of difficulty
getting the school notes promptly 1t
is always a matter of regret when by
unavoidable circumstances they are held
up. They are such a pleasing contrast
to stories of violence, politics, the pub
iicity seekers, and our old friend D. E.
Preston, that we miss them in the sum-
nler and are glad to have them during
the remainder of the year.

THE GARNER RESOLUTION

r the six men whose votes defeated the
1 repeal resolution in the house of rep
resentatives yesterday could be identi-
fled, It would be nice thing to present
them with medals, or at least with the
thanks of their fellow citizens.
The assertion is sincere and is not in
tended to be ironical.
Coming from paper which some time
ago announced itself in the wet column,
the statement may seem inconsistent or
indicate back-sliding. Neither is the
case.
The resolution which was presented
to the house yesterday deserved to be
beaten and it is a good thing for the
country that it was, even though its
passage by the senate would be doubtful
and approval by the President hardly
possible.
1t called for straight out repeal of the
18th amendment, with no guarantee that
the saloon would be prohibited, and with
no provision being made for the protec-
tion of those states which might contin-
ue to desire a prohibition status. On
this basis alone it was risky, and we be-
lieve not in accord with the wishes of
many who desire change in the prohibi-
tion law.
Again, it was high-handedIy imposed
upon the house by the speaker under
rules which were altogether too czar-
istic. Compelling legislators to limit de-
bate on a constitutional amendment to
30 minutes is showing no regard for
parliamentary procedure and contempt
for the great document which is the law
of this nation.
There is no doubt that many of the
H.,
voted against the resolution favor
change in the law but voted as they did
in protest against the manner in which
the resolution was drawn and in which
it was presented to the house.
If Speaker Garner and others who
supported him in yesterdays voting,
wish to change the present status of pro-
hibition they must first adopt a defin-
ite program which shall guarantee to
the people of the country that there
shall be no return of the saloon and
that the rights of states to continue in
the dry column shall not only be rec
ognized but provision made to help them
maintain such a status.
Until such a program is adopted 10y
atty to their oaths must compel every con-
scientious legislator to turn down reso-
lutions similar to yesterdays.
We believe prohibition has brought
about deplorabe condition of chaos in
our national life We just as firmly be-
lieve that the adoption of such resolu-
ton as that presented yesterday would
create a condition even more chaotic.
Vets who are even more wet than
Speaker Garner (of whose wetness we
have a hefty suspicion) want conditions
to be improved and not made worse.
Yesterdays resolution was daring at
tempt to make them worse and it merit
cd the fate which it met.
