GETTING SET FOR
REPEAL ELECTION
Enthusiastic Meeting Held
Last Night in Washing
ton School Gym
ELECTION JUNE 20

The repeal meeting last night in
the washington school gymnasium
was well attended. The speakers
emphasized the wisdom of organi-
cation and effective work, so as to
make sure that the cause will not
be lost by over confidence.
Martin Tehan, chairman of the
18th district presided and Mrs HI.
A. Hayden acted as secretary. Mrs
Hayden read a communication
from Senator Joseph H. Lawlor
regretting his inability to be
present, but stating that he will
assist in making himself useful in
any position assigned to him in
helping get out the vote. In addi-
ton to residents of the district,
representatives from other districts
were in attendance, including John
Bennett of the 14th. Timothy Gar
rem of the 10Th and Terrence
Coughlin of the 10th.
The speakers included, Mrs T. I.
briggs, Mrs r. w. Phillips. Mrs
Mary Kilmartin, Attorney Vincent
Scully, William +. Kelly, Martin
Scully and Edward Egan all of
whom urged concerted action on
June 90, so that Waterbury may
play it's part in bringing about the
repeal of law that has been CIV
en- fair trial and proved that II
operates to the detriment of the
people. What is wanted, the speak.
ers claimed, is a law that will be
enforced. Figures were introduced
showing the vast amount of re.
venue the state and nation are
losing on account of prohibition
and all to no good purpose. 1t was
claimed that prohibition failed t

gard for law which if allowed tt

that some of the other countries
find themselves, where there is n,
respect for any kind of law tina

man family. Religion is bein
pushed into the background an,
moral standards ignored to such a.
extent that society has become

was said will show whether tn
! American people want to stan
firm for the rights guaranteed t
all the people by the founders O
this nation.

good look at me. You don't know

Uncle Wiggily took a look, and
surely enough, he didn't know this
Police Dog. 1t was a strange one.
he had come around for the first
time today so it is no wonder he
didn't know Mr.. Longears.

The bunny.

Uncle Wiggly began to climb down
the honeYsuckle vine. He was cold
and shivery and he was sorry he
had lost his key. But he was sure
everything would be all right when
he got to the Police Station. Some
OF the dogs there would know him
ard believe his story.

"Well, We'll take look there when

When Uncle Wiggily and the Po-

Bob Cat was nowhere in sight. Bu5

UNCLE WIGGILY AND HENNY
PENNY

Uncle Wiggily, who had an adven-
me by falling on the ice and
who had lost his door key, looked
down from where he had climbed
up in the old, dried honeysuckle
vine to reach his bedroom window
and asked:
What for?" ".
Now this might seem a funny
thing for q rabbit gentleman to say
but if you read the story last night
you can guess why Mr.. Longears
said this. When he was climbing
up the honeysuckle vine to get in
bedroom window, because he had
lost the door key, he heard a voice
below him saying:
Come down out of thatl Come
down."
Looking toward the ground, Mr..
Lonugears saw the Police Dog, and
it was OF the Police Dog that the
rabbit gentleman asked:
"What for? Why should I come
down?"
Because you're a burglar rabbit !"
growled the dog.
"Oh, am nct!" cried Uncle Wig
gily, surprised and disappointed.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
HITLER ARRIVES

THAT which has been expected in Ger
i many for many months has come to
pass and Adolph Hitler, imitation Mus
solini, is in the saddle as chancellor of
the republic.
Hitler, an Austrian, who was not even
a German citizen until recently. has been
the head of the Nazi, or German Fascist
organization, and has loudly proclaimed
his determination to regain for the Fa-
therland its rightful place in the sun.
Dire threats toward France and defiance
of Russia have been prominent in his
speeches and writings.
Through sheer force of personality
and an intensive use of what Americans
call ballyhoo, Hitler has built up a large
band of devoted followers, originally an
object for scoffing but long since recog-
nized as strong force in German poll
tics and the reform in European politics.
Already, with the arrival of Hitler in
power, there are rumors that the eX-
kaiser is to return to Germany. What
effect such thing would have on Ger
many and Europe is problematical. A
new generation has come to the fore in
Germany since Wilhelm was the ruler
and this new generation does not take
its emperors and princes as seriously as
did their forefathers.
Some months ago the fact that Hitler,
with his blatant talk and flambouyant
manner, had assumed charge of Ger
manys affairs, would have caused us to
gasp. But there is no reason to gasp
now. We have had his counterpart in
the United States senate, in the person
of the junior member from Louisiana,
practically controlling the legislative
powers of the United States for several
days.
We have managed to survive Huey
Long, and will continue to survive him.
There is no sound reason to doubt that
Germany will be able to survive Hitler.
Besides, the doughty figure of old Paul
Won Hindenberg is in the background to
keep Adolph from spurring his hobby
horse too extensively. Somehow the
thought of old Paul-once a name to be
hated-is comforting and reassuring.
When the little boy has found out that
being a statesman is quite different from
leading a parade, there will still be old
Paul to keep the helm of the nation
steady.
Rumblings from the capital indicate
r. F. c. may yet stand for run for
cover"

BOOKLETS ON

Through the Ell Centric Chamber
of Commerce the Palm Springs ho-
tells have been furnished with sup
plies of the booklet, Scenic Won
ders of Imperial County" sent at
the request of the hotel managers
of that community.
1t is stated in a communication
from one of the leading hotels of
Palm Springs that there is much
demand among winter tourists for
this booklet descriptive of Imperial
countys desert trips of interest, ana
that many guests have expressed
desire to drive to Imperial county
to view the desert country which
has SO much OF interest to offer.
This is the class OF tourist, ac-
cording to w. A. Tondro, presi-
dent OF the local chamber, who does
not make hurried trips ana If they
visit Imperial Valley while winter
ing at Palm Springs they will spend
two or three days in this commu-
nifty, thereby adding to the tourist
income of the cities of Imperial
county.
The Palm Springs hotels, together
with hotels of Imperial Valley and
San Diego, are working out a circle
tour which will start at Los Angeles,
or other coast cities, and include
stops at Palm Springs, Imperial
Valley and San Diego, the visitcS
either travelling south over u. s.
highway SO and north by the coast
route, or making the circle south by
the coast route and north through
Palm Springs.
Tondro states that the numbes
of inquiries being received at the

ing the Scenic Wonders" booklet,
indicates that it has met with wide
popularity and that the distribution

SCOUT WORK
GIVEN PRAISE

Regarding the current drive for
Boy Scout funds, Charles o. Bar
ratt said today, 1T is practically
impossible to find a community in
the United States that has reached
the point where it must rob the
children of their play and deny
them their leisure time privileges
in order to save some of the pop
ulation from starving. Our land
of too much goods is not SO bank
rupt that it cannot do more re-
lief on a famine basis and the de-
mands for emergency relief are not
so great that we must abandon all
provisions for educational recrea-
ton. Never has there been a time
when clear thinking with respect
to real needs and values was more
needed than in this day.
president Hoover recently ex-
pressed himself along this line"
Barratt said. Hoover declares, We
must maintain our character build
ing agencies up to their full
strength. 1t is most important a.
UIllS IlIIl6 JildG lllt dSllfAIlSo VI VIZ
Boy Scouts of America, and indeed
the activities of all our character
building agencies should be main
tanned. This will not only bring to
thousands of additional boys, the
Joys and satisfaction of the game
of Scouting, but will also make the
character building and citizenship
results vital factor in advancing
our democracy.
1.-The late eX-President Coolidge
also expressed himself in this con-
nection,' Barratt continued. Cool
idge stated, If every boy in the
United States between the ages of
IL and II could be placed under
the wholesome influences of the
Scout program and should live up
to the Scout oath and rules, we
would hear fewer pessimistic words
as to the future of our nation
"a movement recommended by
such men as President Hoover and
ex-President Coolidge certainly
merits the support of people OF
this community; 1 hope Ell Centro
will show the boys here that they
believe in them and their Scouting
ideals" he concluded.
