MONT J. REID

III Centre and Imperial Valley have
lost another outstanding citizen in the
death yesterday of Mont J. Reid for
more than score of years tax collector
for Imperial county
News of his death came as a decided
shock to this community for few knew of
his illness and even fewer considered it
of serious nature.
Among men he who is credited with
being a good loser is accorded a high
tribute and Mont Reid is fully entitled
to such honor.
Only 10 days ago we happened to have
lunch with him, in the course of which
conversation turned to the recent pri-
mary election in which he was defeated.
Defeat after nearly quarter century
of loyal, faithful and efficient public SER
vice might we'll have embittered many
man, but no word of reproach or fault
finding came from Mont Reid as he dis
cussed valley politics with u.s. He knew
that no sound argument for his defeat
had been presented and he knew that
many who opposed him did so because
they really did not understand and were
not influenced by logical reasoning. Its
politics." he said. Somebody wins and
somebody loses. | won several times and
| suppose | had to lose"
If he was disappointed he did not say
so. Whatever he really felt he kept to
himself-the hallmark of a real man
1t was our pleasure to have an ac-
quaintanceship with him for the past
dozen years. AS public official we al
ways found him courteous patient, and
friendly to all Of a cheerful disposition
his friendly "Comastamos" was we'll
known to thousands throughout Imperial
Valley, who respected and admired him
and valued his friendship.
He was a good husband and father,
faithful and conscientious public official
and an outstanding citizen who was al
ways ready to help his community.
Those left to mourn him, to whom the
sympathy of this community is extended,
can justly be proud of his splendid char
acter and his excellent record

WALTER GARREN EXONORATED
BY CONONER'S JURY IN DEATH
OF EAST FLAT ROCK RESIDENT
Does Not Testify; Pedes-
TRANS Tell Of Wright's
Accidental Injury

A coroner's jury on Saturday
afternoon held that James Thomas
Wright, 51-year-old East Flat
Rock man, who died on Monday
morning at the Patton Memorial
hospital as a result of injuries
sustained when struck by the rear
end of an automobile driven by
Walter Garren, came to his daeth
as a result of an unavoidable &C
cident.
The decision of the coroner's
jury was not unanimous, four
members of the jury favoring the
unavoidable accident verdict, and
two holding otherwise. However,
in a coroner's inquest a majority
decision is sufficient and the Off
cial verdict of the inquest was I'M
avoidable accident.
The members of the jury were
not polled individually by Coroner
J. F. Brooks.
Testimony of some eight or nine
witnesses was offered at the in
quest and testimony of the wit
nesses was largely to the effect
that Mr.. Wright was walking
along the highway toward East
Flat Rock about two miles from
Hendersonville, that Mr.. Garren
was driving toward Henderson
vile, and that he had almost pass
ed the walking man when the lat
ter fell into the rear of the car,
and was struck by the right rear
fender. His head struck the right
rear glass breaking it out. Mr.
Garren was not called to testify
at the inquest and witnesses were
people who were either in front
or behind his car. Members OF
the jury had previously examined
the scene of the accident and
marks on the road made by the
automobile. c
The accident occurred on Sat
urdav night, November 3. Mr.;
Wright was taken to the hospital
where he died on Monday morn
inc about 7 o'clock. Funeral ser;
vices were held on Thursday and
burial took place at JonesVllle

a strong message to ex-service
men and a large congregation at
the high school auditorium on the
occasion of the American Lee
gion's annual memorial service
for World war dead.
Rev. Moser took his text from
Corinthians GLIB, "Quit we like

ming" he said, mot necessarily
to think of those 10 million men
who fought to end war forever,
but we come this evening to
think of the millions of men who
are in the ranks of the living to-
day. We honor those who died
for a cause they held to be just
and right, but we dishonor them
if we fail to listen attentively as
they tell US in unmistakable
terms that there is better way
to serve justice and liberty than
that of freely spilling the blood
of the manhood of nations. To-
day from the dirt covered trench
es and shell holes, from the silent
graves of Europe we hear in
clear tones the ringing message.
"Quite yourselves like men. Be
strong" 1900.
He declared that the warfare
of today was not zone of bullets

present warfare we see shame

GERMANS DEAL
BIG BLOW TO
j. S. BUSINESS
Reichsbank Ruling May
Squeeze Out Automobile
and Film Trade !

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-(UP).-
American business in Germany
was dealt a heavy blow today
when the reich film chamber i'm,
posed a uniform import permit Of
$4,000 on each foreign picture.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer and
Paramount are expected to be
the hardest hit American firms,
BERLIN, Nov. 12.-(UP).-
An almost complete trade stop
page for many lines of foreign
products looms as result of the
reichbank's most recent refusal
to meet foreign firms halfway,
non-German commercial observ-
ers feared last night.
To date automobile firms have
been most directly hit, but the
possibility is strong that like
treatment may be accorded to
any product so long as the pos
sibility remains of producing a
similar or substitute article with
in the reich.
European offices of American
auto firms are faced with aban-
donment of the German market
by their inability to obtain either
foreign exchange credit neces-
sary to import or a barter agree
ment which will enable business
to continue. One of most promi-
nent Austrian automobile manu-
facturers has withdrawn. Others
are expected to follow.
Business observers see in the
latest reichbank standpoint and
it's recent refusal to redeem in
terest coupons on long term debts
at 40 per cent an attempt to
create pressure in the United
States and perhaps in other coun-
tries for trade concessions which
will enable Germany to export
and in turn to buy the. foreign
products she needs.
