eminent furnishing the transpor-
tation.
The workroom project as tenta-
lively outlined by Mr.. Pringle is
that the community furnish the
room, lights and heat. One is IN
the downtown district, which can
be secured for $40 month and
Mayor Anon thought the city
would contribute part and the
county the other. Commissioner
jay Perry did not attend the meet
ing so no definite report can be
given at this time.
The VERA would furnish a
sewing supervisor, assistant super
visor, truck driver, truck, and a
part-time janitor for the project,
besides doing the remodeling and
repairing of mattresses, stoves,
ovens, heaters, shoes and such, and
furnish new materials.
According to the check-up in the
district these are badly needed in
the county, and it would be say
ing to the county Mr.. Pringle
stated of approximately $1,000, be-
sides bringing into the district ap-
proximately $1,000.
Mems clothing is badly needed,
Mr.. Pringle stated, as there are
men working now who haven't the
required clothing to protect them
from the weather and the local pro-
iects are not enough to supply
more than the needed foods and
fuel.
The district would be made up OF
Hover, Finley, Richland, Benton
City, White Bluffs and Hanford.
The project would be supplied with
five sewing machines and several
long tables, bins and such. Racks
have already been built and will
be here for Saturday, where the
clothing may be checked when re-
ceived and put on hangers and
cared for.

I'VE must remind business peo-

passing traveller" said Hetzel, that
we are the best customers Goa
chella Valley, Banning, and Beau
mont have or ever will have. We
built up these towns on the high
way with our patronage. Now we
have a right to expect them to
reciprocate by favoring our own
and their own Highway u. S. 80,
the highway that made their towns
and built up their business, in
preference to the Blythe route or
any other competing route. Those
little customer cards were desig-
ned to remind these people who
have places of business on the
highway north of us, in kindly
and cordial way, of this fact"
This plan will go over big, and
we shall get results in greatly in
creased business in Imperial Val
ley, if every local resident who is
going north on this highway will
provide himself with a few of
these cards, and pass them out
at each place of business on the
road where he stops or buys some
thing If we put out enough of
these cards, our neighbors to the
north cannot but be impressed
with the value of Imperial Valleys
business, and they will feel they
must give us square deal, and
send us motorists, who in turn,
will spend substantial sums in I'm
perial Valley"
The cards are being printed now.

last month. With the influx of
new people here and winter visit

be cared for. We simply must erect
more homes. I am glad, too, to

cisco Seals to score 9-3 victory,

over their home town competitors.

Missions run-getting with Jim
Zinn and recruit named Ross
as the victims.

the day, Hollywood scored its sec
ond straight win over Los Angeles

bargain. With Joe Sullivan giving
the Angels only seven hits, one
homer by Damaree, the Stars
registered a 7-3 win. Thomas was
shelled off the mound in the

FUNNY FILM
BOOKED FOR
BANK NIGHT

"FriendS of Mr.. Sweeney the
Warner Bros. picture which is
based on the hilarious comedy by
Elmer Davis, will be the feature
screen attraction at the United Ar
lists tonight with Bank Night also
being observed.
The picture is said to be one of
the most riotously funny films to
come to the screen in many a day.
Certainly the situation of a meek
mouse of man turning in night
into a ferocious lion, a devil with
the ladies, and the terror of the
town, is unique enough to lead to
any number of laughable sequences.
The mouse IS miraculous change is
inspired to a large extent by love
although liquor and the goadings
of an old pal contribute their share
Thrills are supplied in a whirlwind
climax in which the mouse, now
become a lion, rounds up a band
of crooks and compels his domi-
neering and hypocritical boss to
buckle to his will.
Charlie Ruggles has the leading
role with Ann Dyorak furnishing
the romantic part of the story.
Others in the cast include Eugene
Palette, Dorothy Burgess, Dorothy
Tree, Robert Barrat, Berton Chur-
chill, Harry Tyler, Harry Beresford
and william Davidson.
Edward Ludwig directed the pic
ture which was dramatized for the
screen by Warren Duff and Sidney
Sutherland. Sparkling dialogue was
added by F. Hugh Herbert and Err
