FOURTH SAFE AND. SANE

DETERMINATION to make the Fourth
u of July safe and sane" has succeed
ed.
When public opinion was aroused sew
eral years ago by the enormous casualty
list from fireworks which followed each
Fourth of July, the safe and sane"
movement got under way.
How we'll it has succeeded is indicated
in todays reports of the holiday which
show that only six persons met death
in the nation yesterday due to fireworks,
and many were more or less seriously in
iured.
Such a fine record is certainly graft
flying, but the qualification is offset by
the deaths resulting from other causes,
chiefly automobile accidents. A total of
81 lost their lives from this cause yes
terday and drowning contributed 46 VIC
tins. Miscellaneous causes brought the
total death toll to 10 a figure of which
any civilized nation should be ashamed.
Bad as the old time Fourth of July
was, it happened only once each year.
The automobile, as an instrument OF
death, is with US every day and is partlc-
ularly dangerous on week-ends and holl-
days.
This is true despite all that is writ
ten and preached about safe driving.
The frequent publication of death lists
as a result of automobile accidents, has
very little effect which tends toward i'm
provement of conditions. The same may
be said of warning signs placed along the
highways and of the rules and regula-
tions drawn up by cities and states for
the protection of the motorist as we'll as
for the general safety. All are care
lessly ignored by the driver who drives
with his hands and feet but forgets that
his head is also essential to the safety OF
himself and others.
The big decrease in the number of
deaths from fireworks shows what can
be done to lessen danger Equally good
results can be obtained in reducing the
number of automobile fatalities, but not
until every person driving car has been
converted to the wisdom of driving safe
" and sanely.
How this can be accomplished is per-
picking matter. Writing and preaching,
futile as they seem at times, appear to
be the best method to follow. Perhaps
by continuously pounding away at the
need for safe driving, it may be eventu-
ally brought about 1t rests with the au-
tomobile drivers themselves just how
long eventually" is.

WESTERN AUTO
= OFFERS SAVING
FOR MOTORIST

With vacation season in full
swing, as evidenced by the trek of
motor cars on every highway and
byway leading to vacation lands in
the west, the Western Auto Sup
ply company announces nid-sea-
son savings event, so that vacation
trips can be made more economic
ally, according to j. A. Hall, local
manager of the company.
Motorists are afforded the op-
portunity to enjoy savings in auto
mobile equipmeat during this
event." says Hall. Hundreds of
opportunities to save substantially
on tires, batteries, automobile ra
dos, auto accessories, lubricating
oils and greaSes, camping equip
ment and many other items are Of
fered by this mid-season event.
"One of the special features,
which should be of interest to every
automobile owner, is the liberal
trade-in allowance being made for
old tires to apply on the purchase
price of new Western Giant tires.
Prices are SO low on guaranteed
Western Auto tires that motorists
cannot afford to take chances with
worn tires on vacation trips for
every day driving.
tAnnoying delays on vacation
trips can be obyiated if the car
owner will take a little time before
starting on the trip to carefully
check over the car and its equip
ment and replace any worn item,
whether it be tires, storage battery,
accessories or motor parts.
using the correct weight of mo-
tor oil often saves engine trouble
as it helps to prevent the motor
from overheating and other motU
troubles. The fact that Western
Auto stores sell thousands of gal
Ions of motor Oil each month is evil
dence that motorists appreciate the
savings gained by buying Oil in
quantity lots and that the oil is
of high quality. Western Auto stores
are stocked with both Pennsylva-
MIA oil and Western oils in the pro-
per weights recommended for the
individual make of car by the man.

hours OF employment, number OF

Prices To Be Higher
Obviously if higher wages are to
be paid for manufacturing, higher
prices must be demanded for the
product" he stated. These in
creased prices will be reflected M
manufacturers sales ts the jobber
or wholesale prices asked of the
retailer. The retailer, perforoe, must
mark up his Prices, and the desired
result will thus, in theory, be
achieved all down the line"
If and when it becomes advisable
to organize trade groups in Inn
perial Valley, and to formulate q
code for their procedure, directors
of the Ell Centor Chamber Of Com
merce have indicated their willing
ness to assist in such organization
of local groups.
There organizations can readily
be created within the chamber, it
is believed, and form a part of the
chamber. Certain trade groups In
Ell Centro have at various times
formed themselves into working
Drganizations Under chamber OF
commerce leadership. The machin-
cry of the chamber is admirably
fitted for such operations, it is de-
clared, and the staff is experienced
in gathering and holding such
groups together.

UNCLE WIGGILY FINDS

The day after Fourth of July
Uncle Wiggily was going to take d
walk in the woods when he hap
pened to meet Baby Bunty, the or
phan rabbit who was on her way
back from having gone to the store
for Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy.

Baby Bunty?" asked Mr.. Longears.
"Of course I do, UnNe Wig
said the little orphan rabbit, using
all the baby talk she was permit

gentleman.
That's funny!" laughed Bunty.
IF you don't know where you are
going maybe you'll get lost. But
I don't mind being lost with you.
We can have some fun camping
out"
"Oh, I won't get lost said I'm

he had found.
mo, that isn't a chocolate drop"
spoke Bunty, Its a Fourth of
July torpedo. Be careful not to
drop it, Unkie Wig, or it will go
/ off with a loud bang"
"Oh, SO I have found a Fourth
of July torpedo, have -" asked
Mr.. Longears, looking at it.
That's what it is" said Bunty
"A torpedo is made of a big paper
cap and has some fine gravel stones
wrapped up with it in piece OF
paper, twisted around SO it won't
easily open. When you throw the
torpedo down hard it goes off with
a bang. You certainly have found
something, Unkie Wig
Not very much, I'm thinking
laughed Mr.. LongearS. II suppose
some boy must have dropped this
torpedo here. Well, I said 1 would
give you whatever I found, Bunty,
SO this Fourth of July torpedo is
yours"
Thanks" said the title orphan
rabbit. Maybe I can use it,"
So she put it in her apron pock
ct and she and Uncle Wiggfly
were hopping along, waiting for
something to happen, and maybe
hoping to find an ice cream cone,
when, all of a sudden, out of the
bushes jumped the Black Bear.
"Gurra! Gurra Gurral" growled
the Bear. "Ha! Hal Hal
why are you laughing?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Because I have caught you,
growled the Black Bear. "The Bob
Cat asked me to catch you and
have Hal. Ha! Hal"
TRY and catch thisl' exclaimed
Bunty, all of a sudden. With that
she threw the Fourth of July tor
pedo at the Bad Chap. He tried to
grasp it in his paws but he missed.
The torpedo fell on stone and
exploded with loud bang.
"Oh, I'm shot! I'm shot! Excuse
me! I'm shot" howled the Bear
and away he ran. Then it was the
turn of Mr.. Longears and Baby
Bunty to laugh, which they did
with great delight. And if the egg
beater will give the coffee pot some
carrots to make a strawberry short
cake for the milk bottle I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggilys Sum-
mer snow.

The recent action of congress in
declaring the legalized 80 beer TO
be Intoxicating was not sub
scribed to in police court by Bessie
johnson, 50, this morning. Arrested
on a drunkenness charge, she plead
ed guilty to the count but asserted
she had taken only couple of bot
ties of the new beer. She could
not remember the particular brand
which possessed this unknown po-
tency but insisted that it was the
new stuff and also that she had
taken just two or three bottles. The
court was inclined to believe other
wise and fined her $40 with the al
tentative of days in the county
jail.
Like sentences were handed OF
to G. P. Sanden, "a, and Gus Bow

Local retail business groups need
be in no great hurry to organize
under the terms of the national in
dustrial recovery act. according to
Robert Hays, manager of the cham
ber of commerce, who has just re-
turned from a meeting in Los An
geles called by civic organizations
to discuss the provisions of the new
law. 1t was the sense of this meet
ing, which was addressed by per-
sons who have spent much time
and thought in consideration OF the
act, that the codes promulgated
by qhe interstate manufacturing
groups will reach, in their effect,
all the way to the jobber, the
wholesaler and the local retailer.
Thus, Hays stated, will the local
groups be brought under the fed
eral act. In purely intrastate mat
ters, it is expected that the pend
ing Assembly Bill 2400, which will
be considered by the California le-
gislature when it reconveneS on
July IT, will effectively function in
strictly local matters.
There need be no frenzied haste
on the part of Ell Centros retail
merchants to organize and pro-
mulgate their code," said Hays.
"We must remember that the in
dustrial recovery act was intend
ed primarily to create more jobs,
and higher wages. These objectives
can be attained principally in fields
of productive industry - in other
words, in manufacturing. Therefore
the first step is to settle wages,

A WOMAN'S JOB

MO LONGER do women who make their
~ own living limit themselves to dress
making, Stenography or school teaching.
They have entered many fields of indus
try which q couple of decades ago were
considered "men's Jobs, only, and the
creation of new industries has found
them ready to play an active part in
their development.
Miss Fay Gillis, % year old aviatriX
of Minneapolis is an example of the
modern womans activity in industry.
She is in Siberia to direct refueling op-
erations at two different points for
Wiley Post, one of two men who circled
the globe a few years ago and who now
plans a solo flight, undeterred by the ap-
parent fate that has overtaken Jimmy
Mattern.
While Post eats and gets some rest,
it will be Miss Gillis' job to superintend
refueling of the plane and she will per-
sonally inspect the ship and make what
ever mechanical adjustments are needed.
She then will board the plane with Post
and continue to his next stop where
she will repeat the performance
Incidentally, her place in the plane
while enroute will be a tiny improvised
seat in the tail of the ship, behind the
gas tanks.
She has a job that not only calls for
a thorough training in mechanics but al
so requires considerable nerve. Many
men would hesitate to take the risk of
riding in the tail of an airplane at top
speed over rough and sparsely settled
country, where there is only a minimum
hope for safety if anything goes wrong.
Post-an experienced and accomplish
ed aviator-shows good sense in trust
ing the success of his venture and possi-
bly, the safety of his neck, to woman.
Her inherent desire for thoroughness
will insure a real inspection job on that
plane and it will not be allowed to move
until the inspector" is satisfied beyond
doubt that everything is as it should be.

cally at least.
