in this letter seems unfortunate
since an artist appearing as solo
iSt with an orchestra cannot be
said to be entering in competition
with himself as a solo recitaliSt
of a complete concert. Mr.. Kind
Ter had no idea that these artists
had been signed on such terms by
Mrs. Greene.
Nor would he have mentioned
them if he had heard Of any such
thing. Merely in thinking over
the possibilities for soloiStS with
the National Symphony, these
were the first names that entered
his head. 1t seems, however, too
bad that just because these ar
fists are to be heard here in con-
cert once that this will prevent
tnem from appearing again. Art,
after all, is for arts sake.

Imperial Valley press., 1932-04-07

The dam will be finished within
five years, and we have now secured
the All American Canal, which will
bring the water to us on all Amer
lean soil, desilted. Imperial Valley
is today on the verge of the great
est era Of prosperity that it has
ever had.
"An all county campaign on the
principles used by the All Year
club would change the entire sit
uation for the better within a few
months.
"All the bankers and insurance
companies, and the Irrigation Dis
trict, and every one else that has
lands to sell will positively have
"a selling market, with proper pub
licity, in less than six months time.
I'VE cannot expect a Moses to
lead us out of the wilderness. We
must depend upon ourselves. In
dividually and collectively we must
cooperate 100 per cent and coordi-
nate our efforts.
II suggested to the associated
chambers directors that thousands
of cars cross the Colorado River at
Yuma every week in the year.
There should be an Imperial VAL
ley station right where they have
to stop for inspection, in charge Of
a competent man with proper lit
erature, telling the truth about I'M
perial Valley; and along the sand
dune highway between Yuma and
HoltVille there should be a board
every mile, we'll worded, that would
tell the facts abouts Imperial VAL
ley to those thousands of people
by the time they reach Holtville.
"The newspapers Of Imperial
Valley should fire the people by
printing the facts about the valley
every day on their first pages, and
unquestionably these papers would
do SO. Constructive publicity should
go to all Southern California news
papers. We must have 100 per cent
cooperation in a we'll planned cam
paign, and for this I believe there
is really only one medium-the
newspapers.
Eastern Field Not Needed
ut is useless to spend any of
this money in the east. The trans
continental railroads are spending
millions, and so are Los Angeles
and San Diego through the cham
bers of commerce and all year clubs,
and they are actually bringing the
people. The small amount which
the Imperial Valley can afford to
spend would not be a drop in the
bucket for spending in the east.
There are today a hundred
thousand people that we could get
in Los Angeles and San Diego and
especially in such localities as Full
erton, Santa Ana and Anaheim.
The most prosperous farming
section in the world is Southern
Imperial Valley press., 1932-04-07

California, and nowhere is there
better land at less money with bet
ter water conditions. or cheaper
Witer, even with the so cent charge,
than in the Imperial Irrigation
District.
II would like to see a real pub
licity campaign started with fund
ofS250,000 q year, and with the un-
derstanding that no really worth
while campaign is possible for less
than 100000 in the first year.
THE board of supervisors, which
represents every one of us, may
head this proposition with $4,000,
S5 1000 a month for 10 months. The
life insurance companies and the
banks that have had to acquire
lands and the Irrigation District,
which is soon to own more land
than it will know what to do with
unless something is done--all should
contribute, and then the chamber
of commerce in each locality should
contribute its pro rata.
Prosperity brought back to the
Imperial Valley will benefit the
doctor, merchant, lawyer, banker
and business man fully as much as
it will the farmer and land owner.
1T can be done.
This is the psychological mo-
ment to capitalize on those great
assets, the Hoover Dam and the All
American Canal"

CALIPATRIA CO-FOUNDER URGES
PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN IN VALLEY

Pointing to Hoover Dam and the
All American Canal as affording a
strategic opportunity, Carl F. Scha-
der, co-founder of Calipatria, de-
clared recently that Imperial Valley
can be on the high tide of prosper
ity in six months by putting on q
$250,000 advertising campaign in
Southern California.
Schader arrived in Calipatria last
Friday ano attended the monthly
meeting of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce of Imperial Coun-
ty at the county fairgrounds that
night laying his ideas before the di-
rectors of the chambers. He came
to the valley from his home at San
ia Monica for that purpose and
Saturday left Calipatria to attend
the annual meeting of the Salt Riv-
er Valley Waterusers association in
Phoenix.
Il wish to make a statement on
the opportunity which see for I'M
perial Valley and first of all 1 wish
to express appreciation of the priv
ilege I had of presenting my ideas
to the directors of the associated
chambers" he said.
1--WE have everything here that we
ever had. We are in better physical
shape as an agricultural valley than
we have ever been and we Surpass
every other agricultural valley in
the United States of America
While profits have not been large
in Imperial. Valley this year, most
everybody who has farmed intelli-
gently has made a profit.
What we need is new people,
with new blood and new money,
to join us. We must get more
farmers, doubling our population.
We must have farmers and their
families on 40 and 80 acre tracts.
Adverse Publicity Given
"We have had the most adverse
publicity that any community ever
had Imperial Valley was used as
a club to force congress to build
Hoover Dam and bring in the All
American Canal. Throughout the
nation every paper had on its front
page every morning for breakfast
during the last 10 years such state
ments as the following:
g, Fifty thousand American citi-
zens are in jeopardy of being
drowned in the Imperial Valley
The Colorado River may any
day destroy one hundred million
dollars of annual crop
Ten years Of this has had more
to do with destruction of values in
this valley than the world depres-
sion.
Now we must reverse this and
take advantage of the psychology
of the moment, and tell the world
that we now have the Hoover Dam,
which will safeguard us against
any intrusion of the Colorado River.
