WILL A. EDGAR

A MAN without sham or pretense. true
IA to himself and to his ideals, might
well be the epitaph for W A Edgar,
valley pioneer, whom death claimed yes
terday
To talk with him was to realize that
here was a man who did his own think
ing and who encouraged others to do the
same. His thinking was always along
conservative lines, yet this did not blind
him to the desirability of attempting the
new and untried.
An excellent impression of the man
Will Edgar was is obtained from his en-
try into Imperial Valley. An educated
man, a teacher, an idealist, yet he did not
hesitate to take up the rough work of
freighting in a pioneer country-a Job
that called for hard work of plain and
wearisOme kind.
= 1t took just that brand of courage and
that kind of men and women to wage the
battle which the pioneers were called up
on to face in their efforts to conquer the
desert
Had Will Edgar and others who were
his neighbors in those days confined
their efforts to wrestling a living and
home for themselves and their families,
they would be entitled to full credit.
Being pioneers, however, they could not
be content to stop there.
We may take him as splendid eX-
ample Of those who possessed that Won
derful spirit of mutual helpfulness and
the unouenchabe desire to make COM
munity that would be a decent home for
their children-attributes which are out
standing in the history of American pio-
ncering.
These virtues-for they cannot be con-
sidered anything less than virtues-eX-
plain his activity in helping to build a
church and school in the little settle
ment Cf Imperial; his desire to improve
the minds of the community by the or
ganizaton of library; his wish to pro-
vide for contacts with his fellow man
through lodge membership and most I'M
portant of all, his efforts to assist in
building up an orderly community
through means provided by law for the
organization of town form Of govern
ment.
Primarily a home man, he was never
thcless willing to share his time and Ell
forts to assist his fellowman, exhibiting
an unselfishness in this respect that is
not found any too frequently in our mod
err life.
Although in later years his time had
been confined chiefly to his family and
his business, he occasionally lent his ef-
| forts to outside interests which benefited
| by his counsel and leadership.
He was a close student of national af-

GOVERNORS WELCOME

GOVERNORS from more than half of
the states in the Union are scheduled
tc become guests of California when
they cross the border of this state around
midnight tonight
They are coming here to participate in
the 25th annual conference of governors
which IS to be held at Sacramento and
San Francisco, with visits to Los Angeles
and other parts of the state.
1t gees without saying that California
is happy to be able to entertain such a
distinguished group. They are men who
are intensely proud of their own home
states as they have such just cause to be,
yet realize that all the states are inter-
dependent upon each other.
They have heard of CALIFORNIA; noted
hospitality and there is no doubt they
will experience plenty Of it. 1t is the
wish of every Californian that they will
enjoy every moment of their stay while
they are within our borders and that
they will leave here with regret and
strong desire to come again.
1t may not be possible for the COVER
nors to visit Imperial Valley, yet that
does not prevent this section of the state
from expressing our happiness in having
much to be seen and only limited time
in which to see it. If we are left out we
do not feel sighted. If by chance they
should be able to visit here, they will
find the same brand of California hos
pitality that prevails throughout the
length and breadth of the Golden State.
