A. A. Milne is not, of course, a
playwright for the films. He defies
what are known as the laws of action"
and promulgates his plots along by
fleet of well chosen if often too cum

Plates were installed at the approach

over a plate which made a signal

has been a great success for vehicular
traffic, but the officials forgot to care
for pedestrians, and this has caused

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, June AIRS. Leonora
z. Meder, one of the Middle Vests
best known club women, on the eve
of her induction as president of the
Chicago Business and Professional
Women'S Club, last night told the
world that women belong in kitchens
and homes and not in clubs.
Every club woman and professional
woman. young or DID," she said in an
interview, would gladly chuck her
career to marry good man. There
are two kinds of women-those that
men love and marry, and those who
belong to clubs"
Jibing the traditional club woman
a little more, Mrs. Meder added:
Il am active in club and profess
sional work myself, but 1 see the
error of my ways. If l were as good
a cook as I am a lawyer, I'd own
Chicago. Well, it's back to the spin
ming wheel for women now. And back
to the kitchen. That's where women
belong. Getting the vote didn't do
women any good-they still vote as
their husbands tell them"

ever, we have had innumerable

but that the total number of I'm

run into difficulties in and around
Ell Cajon in the past summer would
run into several hundred. 1t is
that few of our people
were apprehended in other parts of
California, although Imperial VAL
ley cars have toured all parts of

Imperial Valley press., 1934-09-08

In a letter to the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce, Chas. F.
Richardson, city clerk and police
judge of Ell Cajon, has asked that
an article from the Ell Cajon Valley
News, bearing the heading "Im-
perial Valley Has No Case Here,
Traffic Severity is Unfounded Ru-
mor' be reprinted in the Imperial
Valley newspapers.
The article says in part, "By
reason of a case of violation of the
traffic laws in which business
man living in Imperial Valley was
fined, there has evidently been
started a campaign of misrepre-
sentation in that valley which is
most unjust The residents of that
locality are told that Ell Cajon by
means of drastic and unfair en-
forcement of the traffic laws OBJ
tains most of its revenues from
passing motorists. The matter has
been taken up by the chambers of
commerce of several Imperial Val
ley towns and San Diego and the
newspapers of the valley published
the reports.
Because of these false charges
an investigation of the facts of the
matter has been made by the local
chamber of commerce and the fol-
lowing facts found: During the six
months period ending July 81 last
City Justice Richardson had ,in his
court 85 cases of violations of the
traffic laws and among them were
only four cases from Imperial VAL
ley One of them was dismissed,
two defendants were fined $3.50
each and one SIS, making $25 the
total sum paid by Imperial Valley
residents.
"W. j. Collard justice of the
peace of Ell Cajon township also re-
ports as follows: During the per-
iod from April l to August 81 he
had in his court 164 cases of traf-
fic violations, of which 43 were
from Imperial Valley. The COM
plants in these cases were made by
members of the state patrol, with
which the city of Ell Cajon has
nothing to do. The fact that the
cases were tried in the justice court
sitting in Ell Caion doubtless has
created the impression that they
were Ell Cajon cases, which is Who'll
ly erroneous =
Complaints Cited
Despite the facts brought out in
the Ell Cajon Valley News the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce has
had innumerable reports from local
residents that they were stopped in
or near that city during the past
summer. "That one-fourth of the
traffic cases in the court of the
justice of the people involved I'm
perial Valley residents seems amaz-
ing when one considers that Imper-
ial Valley is 100 miles from El Ca
jon," stated Robert Hays, manager
of the local chamber, today, ''and

CANAL STAMP
SUGGESTED To
POSTAL CHIEF

AT the suggestion of H. A. Harris
of English Village Inn, Robert
Hays, manager of the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce, has written
to Postmaster Geneisl James A.
Farley, suggesting that a postage
stamp be printed commemorating
the commencement of work on the
All-American canal.
In his communication Hays point
ed out that the government has
following a policy of issuing COM
memorative stamps for important
public works throughout the coun-
try and that the All-American can
al is one of the most important
public works enterprises undertak-
en- this year, conveying as it does
the waters of the Colorado river
through American territory to the
great Imperial Valley.
1t is suggested b Postmaster
General Farley that this fall or
winter, when construction work on
the canal is actually under way,
would be a favorable time for the
appearance of such postage stamp
and has urged that favorable at
tention be given to the matter.
The issuance of such a stamp,
which would depict some scene
along the route of the All-Ameri-
can canal, would create much in
terest in this area throughout the
United States and do much to pub
licize the agricultural possibilities
of Imperial Valley, as well as Gre
ate tourist interest in this county.
Chamber directors are much i'm
pressed with the idea and it is
hoped that the postoffice depart
ment will take favorable action on
the matter.
