Blue Eagles To
Be Specialized

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. U.P =
The government today began its
first direct efforts to see to it that
consumers get their moneys worth
in the purchase of either goods or
services.
Special blue eagles were planned
for cleaners and dyers who charge
more for their services than the
prescribed minimum prices. These
were reduced by the NRA in con-
cession to rebellious cash and car
ry operators. The special eagles, it
was announced, will signify higher
quality work.
Meantime, the establishment OF a
consumers standards board was
projected. 1t would be charged with
devolping means of enforcing accu-
rate labelling. Some of the articles
named as needing quality grading
were children's shoes, gasoline and
razor blades.
Cleaners who wish may drop their
prices tomorrow approximately 20
per cent. Those who fail to comply
with the minimums will be prosecu-
ted vigorously, William H. Davis,
national compliance director warn

GRAND JURY'S
REPORT FILED
Continued From Fage II

patients in the county farm and
hospital.
Changes Urged
Another county hospital recon-
mendation is to the effect that the
county appointments of all nurses
at the hospital be approved by the
county medical society. Out-pa-
tient physicians should care for the
INDECENT sick, and INDECENT mater
nifty cases, not in need of hospital
ization. and all such cases should
be referred to the social service
worker in the INDECENT office who
will approve and order such care
before same may be extended by
such Impatient physician.
1t is recommended that the coun-
ty farm supply the detention home
at Imperial and the county Jail at
El Centro with farm produce and
any surplus be sold in the open
market. An inventory should be
taken every year of all supplies and
equipment at the county farm and
filed with the county clerk. The
Jury strongly urges that proper
and complete sewer system be in
stalled at the county farm, one
which will meet the requirements
of the state and county sanitation
regulations.
The jury reported that the public
schools are being conducted as sat-
isfactorily as possible under present
conditions and that the operating
cost of the schools has been consid-
erably less during the last fiscal
year.
Attention was called to certain
justices of the peace who have ac-
cepted small claims cases without
requiring the usual filing fee and
it is recommended in such cases
that supporting evidence be pro-
cured in the form of pauper S affi-
davits where same are merited
Justices should be careful to see
that all cases are closed on the
docket upon their disposition and in
all cases where a complaint is filed
and no further action taken that
the reason for the non-suit be noted
on the docket, the report states.
A recommendation is made that
the probation office Immediately
place a woman attendant at the
international boundary line for the
purpose of preventing juveniles from
crossing over into Mexicali.
The committee appointed to in
vestigate the jails of the cities and
county have reported that the con-
ditions in these institutions are sat-
isfactory. In regard to criminal in
vestigations the report states that
matters of a criminal nature have
been investigated and in every case
where the evidence indicated that a
criminal act had been committed,
and warranted prosecution. indlct-
ments were returned in open court.
A recommendation is made to the
next grand jury that an investiga-
ton be made relative to the annual
publication of delinquent tax lists,
in that the political code be amend
ed to read: ION or before the
eighth day of June of each year,
the tax collector may, with the ap-
proval of the board of supervisors,
publish or post the delinquent lis"
and further that provisions be
made whereby in the event that the
delinquent list is published that it is
not necessary to list each and every
piece separately. but that same may
be grouped in blocks.
