COCOANUT OIL
TAX WANTED
BY DA|RYMEN

Continuing its efforts in connec-
ton with placing an excise tax on
imports of cocoanut oil, the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce staff
is urging all its members connected
with the dairy industry, as well
as all dairymen of the valley, to
send kilograms to the California
delegation in Washington, urging
that they fight vigorously for the
measure soon to be introduced in
the senate placing such a tax on
cocoanut oil imported into the
United States.
kilograms were first sent to
Washington concerning this bill by
the Ell Centro Chamber in January
and Congressman Burnham replied
Immediately that he would dc
everything possible to see that the
measure, which originally provid-
ed for a five cent tax, was passed
by the house. The measure was
passed by the lower house and
provided for a five cent tax on
cocoanut oil. but it is understood
that the senate finance committee
recommended a three cent tax on
such importations and the measure
is soon to come before the SEN
ate.
I'm an important dairying COM
munity such as Imperial Valley,
this tax matter should be Of great
est interest" stated w A. Scheni-

dairy industry in Imperial Valley
in California and in the entire

ious condition and the competition
to dairy products offered by cocoa
nut oil products is doing much to

they do an important dairy state,

it is passed 1t is therefore nee
essary that these two senators
should know the attitude of their

should send kilograms to both

Sunday Night

A community Easter service will
be held Sunday evening in the
high school auditorium under the
auspices of a group of local church
es. A large congregation gathered
for such a service last year and so
many favorable comments have
been expressed that the local pas
tors union has decided that SIM
liar meeting should be held this
year.
An ATTRACTIVE musical program
has been arranged and a sermon
will be delivered, the entire service
being designed to give expression
to the Easter thought. The parti-
cipating pastors say that they hope
this and other union services will
emphasize TO the community the
fine cooperation that prevails among
the churches.
The First Baptist church desires
to explain that it does not feel free
to join in the meeting this year,
by reason of being engaged in a
series Of evangelistic meetings
which would be unfavorably affect
ed by a break in continuity. This
decision was arrived at with regret
