eva MAKES GOOD

Al Smith may make his facetouS re-
marks about alphabet soup" and others
may criticize the recovery plan of the
administration, the fact remains that
there can be no doubt about the success
of one Of its phases-the CWA.
Strangely enough this happens to be
the latest effort on the part of the ad-
ministration to get men back to work
The CWA was announced by the Pres
ident on November 8, with the statement
that it was designed to put 100000 men
TO work by December 16.
Yesterday Harry Hopkins, director of
the CWA, announced that the objective
had been reached two days ahead of
schedule and the 100000 men, repre-
senting a weekly payroll of S49,000,000,
are now on the job.
Based on an average Of A persons to
a family, this means that II 100000 per-
sons have been directly benefited by the
CWA program.
The CWA gives work to those who have
not had it for a long time 1t is safe to
assume that whatever financial reserve
they may have had has long since been
exhausted and that they have been con-
tracing bills during their period of idle
ness. Some of the CWA money will be
applied on such bills. More of it will go
to provide current necessities. Little or
none of it will be hoarded-the condition
of those on the CWA payroll precluding
this.
In other words, the S49,000,0O0 of the
CWA payroll is going right back into cir
culation. Not only are there 17,600,000
persons getting direct benefit from the
CWA, but an unknown number of mer
chants, storekeepers and professional men
are getting indirect benefit. They in
turn are paying something on account to
their creditors the manufacturers,
wholesalers and producers.
Some of the work in which the CWA
is engaged may draw criticism 1t may
seem ridiculous to put men cutting brush,
killing weeds and similar activities. but
better this than having them idle. Most
of the CWA work is beneficial not only
in providing employment but in improv-
ing conditions generally.
The CWA has clicked. That, after
all, is the important thing 1t has made
good Soothing at it will not harm it in
any way for it has demonstrated in little
more than a month that, like anything
which is successful, it is big enough to
withstand criticism.

SEEK BAN ON
SHIPMENTS OF
MEXICAN PEAS

In the interest of the pea indus
! try OF the valley and Of the many
persons now employed in pea pick
! ing the Ell Centre Chamber of
| Commerce directors have taken a
stand with other civic and CONNER
cial bodies of Imperial Valley and
! have petitioned the secretary of ag-
riculture, Senator McAdoo and Con-
gresham George Durham to urge
an embargo on Mexican pea ship
ments until the Imperial Valley har-
vest is finished.
1t was pointed out by the cham
! Der that with lower cost of produc-
! ton and the lesser freight rate
j Mexican peas, despite the tariff,
can absolutely prevent shipments of
the Imperial Valley product. Pea
picking has been for the last few
weeks the salvation of many of I'M
perial Valleys unemployed, cham
! Der directors have stated, and there
| are thousands of pea pickerS in the
! fields today who will have no work
unless there is an embargo placed
on the Mexican importation of peas.
Unless frosts come pea picking
can be continued until the first of
/ the year and the Ell Centric chamber
is therefore urging that the embar-
go be placed on importation of
Mexican peas and continued until
after that time. The Farm Bureau
and Western Growers Protective as
ISOLATION have taken a leading part
in urging this embargo and direc-
tors of the Ell Centre chamber, real
izing its Importance to the valley
as a whole, have added their petit
| ton to that of other interested or
! carnations.

Symbolism of the Rotary
Wheel was the title of an excep-
tionally fine and inspirational ad-
dress given last night at the Bar
bara Worth hotel to a joint meet
ing of Rotary clubs of Imperial
Valley by Ed De Groot. governor
of the second district Of Rotary IN
ternational.
1.-The hub Of the wheel', he said,
"is the philosophy of Rotary-the
idea that businessmen can improve
themselves, their business, their
community and the world, by asso-
ciating themselves together for SER
vice.
THE spokeS, radiating from the
hub, represent the six objects of
Rotary, branching out as channels
through which the Rotarian phil
osophy flows from the individual
club.
The rim, composed of four ov-
| erlapping parts, is similar to the
| four objectives of the aims and OBJ
! jectS cOmmittee-club service, Vo-
cational service, community service
and international service.
1.-The cogs, on the outer edge of
| the wheel, are typical of the men,
bers Of the individual clubs, mesh
! ing together to carry out the pur-
poses of Rotary international"
The speaker traced the course of
service as eXemplified in the Ro-
tary code" Service Above SETTLE
Profits Most Who Serves Best >
celebrating on the four points COW
cred under the "rim''.
| Starting with club service, the
district governor said, "the individ-
ual members learned to serve one
another through the good fellow
ship developed at club meetings
discussion of their various lines of
business and getting to know each
other better
"F'rom this starting point there
was a natural development to VEGA
tional service through better I'M
Outstanding of the other fellow s
business and Nle adoption of a code
of ethics. which was the precursor OF
the present MIA program.
AS yet service was confined
within the club and then clubs ex-
, tended their work to their immed-
}iate communities, entering into ac-
tiyities for its development and
progress.
Stresses Need of Morale
Finally service was extended
into the international field with the
spread of Rotary throughout the
civilized world. War and diplomacy
have failed as means for prevent
ing disputes between nations and
the cause of world peace rests sole
ly on better understanding among
nations which can only be brought

He and 1 and some of the neigh

THAT s too bad said Uncle

"Oh, yes, the Police Dog was very
kind said the duck lady. "'He

loud, but Jimmie didn quack
back. Oh. l IN sure he's lost and
maybe something worse has hap

"Oh, I hope not, > said Uncle
Wiggily. "Ill tell you what I'll

Mrs. WibbleWobble I an sure l

have gone home after school with
some of his boy friends. He may
have stayed at one of their houses

"Oh, I IN sure he wouldn It do
that without letting us know said
the duck lady. but please find

BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS

We wish it were possible to print the
| full statement of a prominent local bus
inessman who is in position to know the
good work which is being done for the
prevention and cure of tuberculosis
through money derived from the sale of
Christmas seals.
This is not possible but the following
extract from his statement will give
readers an idea of his estimate of the
value of the seals.
Il am certain if the people of Ell Cen
tro could know as | do. Just what the
seals are doing in the way of aiding tu-
berculosis victims who are without suffi-
cient resources of their own, every man
and woman would buy at least dollars
worth of the seals, if they had to beg,
borrow or steal the dollar.
The hard thing about tuberculosis is
that it numbers its victims mostly among
the young. Young men and women just
starting out in life, some planning to
marry but prevented from doing so by
their condition; others, young fathers and
mothers, just beginning to raise families
when the white plague attacks them.
In the latter case the chances of the dis
ease being checked is often handicapped
by the worry over the plight of the little
family.
Even where there are ample funds,
the fight against tuberculosis is a siren
uous one. When, added to this strain
the patient must worry over finances, the
burden is indeed difficult. 1t is here that
the little Christmas seals step in. Funds
derived from their sale are placed at the
disposal of the patient. He is enabled
to get the best of aid and, his mind freed
from worrying over doctors bills, his
chances of being cured are greatly en-
HANGED.
"A dollar is quite sum, particularly in
these days But in reality it means only
the sacrifice of a couple of shows, few
packs of cigarettes, bit of iewelry or
some triviality with which those who are
blessed with good health can easily dis
pense People would make this sacrifice
gladly if they can only be convinced that
it really helps 1t does help, every dol
lar does. | sincerely hope my statement
may help convince all who read it,
