PLAYING UP CRIME

The oft-heard complaint that news
papers aid crime by playing it up finds
+ justification in the present activity of a
leading Los Angeles paper in reporting
B the Lamson murder trial at San Jose.
Here is a case that might be of general
Interest to the people of Los Angeles as
it would be to the people of any other
community, because of the locale of the
crime and the fact that the principals are
Of higher type, educationally, than the
ordinary murder trial.
The case is being heard 500 miles away
from Los Angeles, but that has not re-
strained the particular paper from treat
ing it as intimately and as sensatlonally
as though it were being heard on its door
step.
A whole flock Of reporters, sob-slsters,
cameramen and feature writers have been
assigned to the case. Each edition is full
of courtroom drawings, photographs OF
the principals, the witnesses, court ottl-
cials and hangers on. Columns are not
only written about the trial itself, but
more are devoted to the sob-sisters' col
orful accounts of what the accused looks
like. what the women wore and human
interest" tales about all the characters
involved.
Other columns are devoted to snappy
observations bordering on wise cracks,
telling what this one or that one SAID,

HIPASS CAMP

Hgpass health camp, conducted by val
ley Legionnaires with the aid of their
auxiliary, Forty and Eight, Eight and
Forty and with the cooperation of civic
and federal organizations throughout the
valley, will close its season Sunday.
Hundreds of valley residents have Wis
tied the camp during the summer. All
are unanimous in extending high praise
Tor the unselfish purpose which is back
of it and for the excellence of its opera
tion.
1t is conducted primarily for under
nourished and privileged children
But many parents have found il an ideal
place for their youngsters who do not
fall in either class.
Some of the youngsters are there at
the expense Of their families. Others are
supported by contributions from the CO.
operating organizations. All are treat
ed alike and no distinction is made be-
cause of any child's particular position in
social scale.
The hearty support given the camp is
the best proof of its value. Such support
is not given to a project which is not fun
damentally sound and deserving of help.
There are rumors of desire to extend
the scope of the camp. Judging from
the good work the present camp has
done, and the possibilities it affords, the
rumors should be encouraged to become
a fact There is a glaring need for bet
ter recreational facilities for Imperial
Valleys great majority" during the
summer months A movement to enlarge
and extend the Hipass camp idea is GER
tain to find favor.
We would commend the work of those
sponsoring and conducting the camp, but
it would be an idle gesture. Their best
commendation is the camps reputation
in the community.

down to an account of a bailiff's tiff with
woman spectator.
Instead of confining itself to news
papers real job, that of giving a straight
and uncolored account of the trial. the
paper hippodromes it as though it were
recounting something behind the scenes
in one of the familiar courtroom films"
There is more than faint suspicion of
the old gag of attempting to weave halo
around the head of the accused, until he
appears more the injured hero than a
man accused of an atrociouS crime.
Treating crimes in this manner may
sell papers but it is not good journalism.
That sort of stuff went out with fake"
headlines and advertisements on the front

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CATERPILLAR

Uncle Wiggily was sitting on the
boardwalk near his seaShore shack
one day early in the morning. It
had been hot for two or three days,
but the rabbit gentleman had a cold
hole filled with ice near his shack
and in this cold hole he and his
wife and Nurse Jane and all the
bunny children could get cool
whenever they wanted to.
Mr.. Whitewash, the Polar Bear
gentleman, had brought the ice
from his North Pole home.
so everything here is just fine
and dandy now" said Uncle Wig
gily to himself as he sat on the
boardwalk. Il must find some way
to have an adventure, though. I
haven't had an adventure in quite
q while. I wonder whether I might
find one if I hoped along the
boardwalk"
The rabbit gentleman was just
going to get up and hop when, all
of a sudden, he felt something tick
ling him inside his left ear.
That's funny" said the bunny.
."I wonder if I forgot to wash my
ear this morning?" Uncle Wiggily
was very clean. Every morning he
not only washed his ears, but he
washed behind them. He felt sure
he had done SO this morning, but
of course he knew he might have
made a mistake, so he put up his
paw to feel of his ear where it was
tickling.
To his surprise, Uncle Wiggily felt

BATTLE FIRE

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. "a U.Pl,
An army of wearied C. c. c.
youths battled two raging fires in
the Santa Barbara national forest
today as they threatened to sweep
new sections of virgin timber.
One fire raced out of control in
the Big Pine mountain wilderness
country about SO miles north of
here despite the efforts of 500 c. c.
c. workers who have fought it since
Sunday. The flames threatened
heavily timbered sections of the
area. The fire fighters were handi-
capped by the rough terrain which
forced the use of pack mules in car
rying supplies.
The second fire was sweeping to-
ward the coast in the Monterey
section. Here, too, the rugged coun-
try was proving a handicap to 400
c. c. c. workers, mobilized as fire
fighters. The flames had spread
to within 10 miles of the coast line
but thus far had not touched i'm
proved property.

Caterpillar, "is where can I get
cool? You see, have. to wear my
brown fur overcoat Winter and
Summer. In Winter it's all right,
for I crawl into cozy hole and
sleep for days and nights and
months. But it is no fun to have to
wear a fur overcoat on hot day in
Summer. Can you tell me where I
can get cool even with my fur coat
on?"
YES said Uncle Wiggily, "I can.
I'll let you stay in my cold hole.
It's sand cave filled with ice. Come
with me-" But just as Uncle Wig
gily was going to take the Cater
pillar to the cold hole something
happened. I'll tell you about it to-
morrow night, when the story will be
called Uncle Wiggily and the Sea

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The
department OF agriculture reports
that the best and most fearless bear
counters in the nation live in Cali
fornia.
Proof Of this fact, according to
the department. rests in the rec
ord Of the annual bear census. CAL
ifornia national forests submitted
the number of bear noses as 1851.
The counters in Washington, Ore
gon, Montana and Alaska, refused
TO take such risks. They turned in
estimates,
The more cautious counters said
that in the national forests Of each
of the three states and territory
there were between 5000 and 1900
bears.
The department is anxious TO
find out who the intrepid census
takers were in California who didn't
miss a cave or cub.
The bear population is increas-
Ing rapidly. Last year for example
the black and brown bears num-
bered but 50,596. This year there arr
52.33s around. Grizzlies are spread

Gould I have left piece of my
bath sponge in my ear when wash

rabbit gentleman. He pulled out his
paw from his ear and saw on it a
big brown, fuzzy caterpillar.
"Oh, my goodness!" exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. Were you in my

please crawl away. Hump your
self" said Mr.. LongearS politely as
he put the brown, fuzzy Caterpil-
lar down on the boardwalk bench
where he was sitting. Il don't like
CaterpillarS in my ears
So the fuzzy chap crawled away
by humping his back up and down
like a baby camel, and Uncle Wig
gily began thinking of how he could
have jolly adventure. All of a
sudden he felt something strange in
his right ear 1t was tickling feel
ing.
"Oh, my Soodress!y exclaimed
the rabbit gentleman. Did I forget
to wash that carp"
He put in his paw and pulled out
the same brown, fuzzy Caterpillar
again.
Look here, my dear fellow" said
Uncle Wiggily, didn't 1 take you
out of my other ear a few minutes
ago?"
Yes, you did," said the Caterpil-
lar.
And didn't I tell you to toddle
off, hump yourself and leave me
alone?" asked Uncle Wiggily.

WHAT WILL PENALTY BEo

1t will be interesting to see what pen
atty is meted out to California's first
case of operating an airplane while in
toXicated."
The charge has been preferred against
flyer, who, with a woman companion,
crashed in Los Angeles earlier in the week
after a series of hair-raising escapades
in the air.
1t was not the hair of the aviator which
was raised, nor of his companion, but it
belonged to the frightened parents of
children above whose homes the flyer and
his lady careened and dove in their liter :
al skylarking.
That particular division of Divine<
Providence which is reputed to guard
fools, drunkards and helpless children,
was on the job. watching over the flying
couple. While making a steep bank the
plane crashed to the earth, through
network of electric wires, yet the pair
emerged from the wreckage with hardly
a scratch.
Only the arrival of police officers saw
ed them from rough handling by crowd
of infuriated parents who had feared the
plane might crash through their roofs.
Will the case be handled as are SO many
of our drunken automobile drivers who
endanger lives on the highways? Will
some friend come around to fix things
up by having the charge reduced to reck-
less driving?
The law calls for penalty of one to
five years imprisonment for violation Of
the state air navigation code, All those
who think the flyer will serve a prison
sentence may raise their right hands.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-08-24

"Yes, you did," said the Caterpil-
lar.
Then why were you in my ear?"
II want to ask you something,
Uncle Wiggily," said the fuzzy chap.
do you have to crawl up in my
ear to talk to me?"
Yes, thank you, do" said the
Caterpillar. You see l have very
little voice and couldn't make you
hear me if I talked to you from
down on the boardwalk or even
from the bench seat So I crawled
up and got in your ear, first one
ear and then the other"
