TREE PLANTING
CAMPAIGN GETS
UNDER WAY HERE

Plans are fast maturing for the
FL Centre Chamber of Commerce
tree planting project, which in
wolves the setting out of Palo Verde
trees on parking strips on the
streets of Ell Centro, to commem-
crate the 200 anniversary of the
birth of George Washington. Mrs.
j. S. Jones, chairman of the spe-
cial tree planting committee of the
Ell Centro chamber has had the
following names added to her COM
mittee by r. B. Whitelaw, presi-
dent of the chamber: Mrs. L. C..
House, Mrs. j. d. Huston and Mrs.
Ross I. Hickcox.
The chamber of commerce has
secured all the small Palo Verde
trees which can be obtaineS in this
locality and they will be distributed
each morning at the home OF
Mrs. Jones at 600 Wensley avenue
at a nominal cost The trees are
potted and the cost includes lathe
strips for each tree. Small trees
have been selected as, being best
suited for transplanting and those
who favor larger trees can purchase
them at the nurseries in Ell Centre
where there is a limited supply
Trees should be planted about 20
feet apart in the parkways and
hole dug sufficiently large and
deep to receive the trees as they
come from the can. leaving the top
of the ball about two or three
inches below the general level of
the ground so as to form a basin.
BY cutting downward with tin
ships from the top of the can on
each side, the can can be bent away
from the tree and the ball unin-
jured. 1t is important that the dirt
be left intact. otherwise the tree
will have too much shock in trans
planting.
Mrs. Jones committee has as its
objective the planting OF all the
residence section of Ell Centre be-
tween now and February %, and
the result will make Ell Centre
eventually a city of loveliness. II
is planned to have each year in
the spring season. when the Palo
Verde trees are covered with gor-
geous yellow blooms, a festival of
the Palo Verde, which will at
tract visitors from all parts of the
southwest. This festival will be
in the nature OF a pageant and
writers and composers have been
asked to submit script which can
be used for this celebration.
Palo Verde trees are particularly
hardy and. for this reason, have
been selected by the FL Centro
chamber as the official tree for
planting, as we'll as by the state
highway commission. which has
adopted the Palo Verde exclusively
for planting on the desert high
ways.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SNOWSHOE
RABBIT

After running along in his snow
tunnel for a few minutes, Uncle
Wiggily came to a stop and
listened.
Il don't believe the Fox is chas-
ing me any more painted Mr..
Longears. His heart was beating
fast for he had been frightened
and he had run hard to escape.
mo, he isn't coming" went on
the bunny gentleman. Il fooled
him by digging my snow tunnel
But I never would have thought
of doing it If the snowshoe rabbit
had not told me to. I should like
to meet that big, white bunny and
thank him."
As I told you in the story last
night, Uncle Wiggily had read in
book about a rabbit with such
large, furry feet that he could walk
on top of the snow instead of
sinking down through the soft
drifts.
Imperial Valley press., 1932-01-19
In The 0nowshoe rabbit

I'm going to see if 1 can't be a
snowshoe rabbit myself Mr.. Long
ears had said. But when he tried
it the Fox chased him and the
poor bunny gentleman was almost
caught. At the right moment,
however, voice called to him to
dig down through the snow and
make a tunnel instead of trying
to walk on top. And when Uncle
Wiggily did this, burrowing a tun-
mel through the snow, the Fox lost
track of him and SO the father of
Jingle, Jangle and all the other
little rabbits was saved from the
Bad Chap
Yes. I think I would like to talk
to that snoWshoe rabbit and thank
him." went on Mr.. Longears when,
after listening again, and hearing
no danger sounds, he was quite sure
the Fox had given up the chase.
Let me see," murmered Mr.. Long
ears, "if I creep back along my
snow tunnel the way I came I'll
reach the place where I saw that
big rabbit
1t was easier for Uncle Wiggily
to go back through his snow tun-
mel than it had been to pillow his
path along it in the first place.
Then he had to dig and push every
inch Of the way. But now the hole
was already made. A tunnel you
know, is a hole only it is lying
down on its side instead of stand
ing up on its hind legs.
Very carefully and slowly, stop
ing every now and then to listen
for the Fox. Uncle Wiggily made
his way back along his snow tun-
mel until he saw that he was close
to the place where he had dived
into it from up on top.
THE snoWshoe rabbit ought to
be somewhere around here. :"
thought Uncle Wiggily. That is
unless the Fox chased him. I hope
he didn't catch him, though. for
that snoWshoe rabbit did me a
good turn"
BY this time Mr. Longears was
close to the hole down through
which he had popped to get away
from the Fox. Sticking his pink,
twinkling nose out of the hole the
bunny gentleman smelled and
entitled. He could not smell the
Fcz and he was glad, for it mean.
that the Bad Chap had gone away.
Then, all of a sudden, something
that looked like pile of snow
moved near the hole out OF which
Imperial Valley press., 1932-01-19

Uncle Wiggily was looking and MI.
Longears gave a jump.
Whats that?' Ae cried.
Don't be afraid. I'm only the
snowshoe rabbit was the answer.
Then Uncle Wiggily saw the big,
fat, white creature who had warned
him little while before to make
a tunnel to escape from the Fox.
oh, I'm so glad to see you'll"
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. II came
back to thank you for telling me
to make tunnel. I was so excited
I never thought of it,"
Il suppose So" answered the
snowshoe rabbit. We'll, I'm glad
you got away from the Fox"
I'm glad, too" chuckled Mr..
Longears. Did he chase you?"
Yes said the snowshoe rabbit.
but he had very little chance of
catching me. You see 1 wear snow
shoes in winter and there are few
animals who can run as fast and
as lightly as I can over the snow 3"
Il thought I could, but 7
couldn't" said Uncle. Wiggily.
sadly May I look at your snow
shoes?" he asked.
The big, white rabbit showed his
feet. Uncle Wiggily saw that the
paws were covered with a thick
mat Of hair which spread out and
made a broad foot, just like the
snowshoes that hunters wear.
And how white you arep ex-
claimed Mr.. Longears, looking at
his new friend. you are like a
SNOWFALL"
I'm brown in summer and white
In winter" was the answer. But
Mr.. Longears, I think that Fox is
sneaking back. And as I am tired
OF having him chase me I'll come
down in your tunnel, if you don't
mind"
mot at all! Come along! We'll
come!" invited Mr.. Longears. So
he and the snowshoe rabbit dived
down into the snow tunnel and
ran along together, fcoling the Fox
again. And If the alarm clock WIN
stop ringing in the middle of the
night, pretending it's the door bell,

4 PIONEER GOES

DASSlNG of Clifford Coggins will re-
l call many interesting incidents con-
nected with this splendid old pioneer who
numbered his friends here by the hun
dred.
One in particular concerns the arrival
of an easterner in Ell Centre. Although 1t
was August, the easterner, sticking true
to his coat, vest, collar and tie, was din
ing in a local restaurant
Two elderly men had the effrontery to
seat themselves at the same table with
out an invitation, and with no introduce
tion proceeded to carry on converSa-
tion with the new arrival.
They recommended the removal of the
superfluous clothing, gave some good ad
vice about eating and drinking, and as
sured the newcomer that he would like
Ell Centre.
Nothing would have pleased the new
conner more than to have his table part
ners choke or meet with some other ca
tastrophe. Their words and their man.
ner were courteous without any attempt
at hazing, but they had committed
flock of objectionable sins by their as
sumption of friendship which is not eX-
tended so promptly and so off-handedly
back in the land where they used to burn
witches
Upon leaving the restaurant the east
erner gave the matter considerable
thought. He noticed everyone else garbed
in Imperial Valleys usual summer style,
thereby making his clothing appear all
the more conspicuous if not ridiculous.
The next day the new arrival could
hardly be told from veteran. He pro-
fitted by the good advice of the two pio-
neers and later came to know and love
them both, so much so that they were
told the story of the first meeting and
the manner in which the easterner re-
sented the intrusion on his privacy.
One of the lovable old rascals later
got the newcomer in more or less con-
spicuous gathering and made him repeat
the story, much to the enjoyment of all
present. The elderly men were Senator"
Coggins and the late Dad Fuller, Ell
Centro's pioneer banker. The resentful
easterner will not be difficult to guess.
The senator was delightful old gen.
tleman whose passing will be sincerely
regretted by many.
