SCHOOL HEAD
ASKS SUPPORT
FOR CONCERT

In support OF the concert to be
given next Monday night by the
East Side Choral club, for the
benefit of the Childrens Clothes
closet, Guy A. Weakley, superin-
tendent of Ell Centro grammar
schools, has issued the following
statement asking the cooperation
of the public.
Times are getting better. No,
the depression is mot over, nor is
prosperity just around the corner,
but most of us are more apprecia-
tive of each others difficulties in
meeting present conditions. We are
learning that greater happiness
comes from sharing each others
burdens than in accumulating
wealth.
THE federal and state govern
ments are attempting to provide
funds for the relief OF the un-
employed. A great many people
in need of food and clothing can
not be taken care of from these
funds. This is especially true where
there are number of children in
the family.
President Roosevelt has appealed
to the American people over the
radio and through the public press
urging them to give generously to
the community chest and other
local relief organizations SO that
the children may be properly fed
and clothed.
"A group OF local entertainers
has prepared a program for next
Monday evening, Nov, 27, which
will provide an evening of enjoy
ment at very nominal cost for
children and adults. This program
will be given at the Wilson School
auditorium and deserves the sup
port and patronage OF the people
of our community. The funds will
be used for the local clothes closet.
Let us show by large attendance
our appreciation to the committee
in charge and to those who have
given SO much time in working
up this program"

SAN DIEGO'S OPPORTUNITY

San Diego is showing wisdom in tax
! ing steps to avail itself of the All-Amer-
! lean canal as a future source of water
and power and is extremely fortunate in
/ having Phil Swing to act as emissary in
preliminary consultations with the board
of directors of the Imperial Irrigation
District
The canal offers a logical source for
the two commodities which San Diego
will require if it is to expand as its lead
ing citizens hope it will and as all who
have faith in the future firmly believe
will be the case with all of Southern
California.
There are obstacles to be met and
overcome-physical, political and eco
nomic-but they can be conquered.
AS yet the entire matter is in preli-
minary stage, but group of leading San
Diego citizens has taken the initiative and
is ready to proceed with negotiations
which they hope will ultimately bring
San Diego to the point where it will
reach an agreement with the district on
water and power.
Los Angeles and other coast cities
have been quick to seize on the opportu-
nifty to assure safe water supply for the
future by organization of the Metropolitan
Water District which is now constructing
the huge aaueduct that will bring the wa
ters of the Colorado to them.
The Colorado offers the same oppor-
tunity to San Diego, providing it wishes
to use it.
Tying in with the canal project will
bring Sal Diego and Imperial closer to-
gether than ever. Both communities are
bound to develop together and with mu-
tual benefit to each other.
The proceedings will be watched with
considerable interest by the people of the
two counties.

there was still light enough to see
many dishes piled on the table and

Jane or Mrs. Longears. But Uncle

Met This Afternoon for
Discussion of Two Inn
pOrtant Subjects

A discussion on traffic problems,
the petition of former Patrolman
Robert Moran to be reinstated and
the application of Lieutenant Ar
thur Warrington for the payment of
several weeks black pay" occupied
the attention of the members of
the committee on men and disci-
pine of the board of police COM
missioners at meeting this after
noon.
The board has yet to take action
on the recommendations of Super
intendent Joseph H. Mclean to
make several central streets one

Harrison avenue and Church streets

lation.
After a years absence officer
Moran seeks reinstatement. 1t is
the general opinion that favorable
action will be taken on his petition
for reinstatement. He resigned
from the department over a year
ago.
The trouble over Lieutenant Var
rington's salary is due to orders be-
ing issued to have his name taken
off the payroll when he failed to
report for duty when instructed.
The officer claims that he was. phys
ically unable to do so. After sew
eral physical examinations he re-
turned to work. He now demands
that he be paid for time lost dur
ing the month of January. Only a
months pay was held back. He
was off duty nearly year.
