Early history of Imperial Valley
formed the theme for the Junior
Ten Thousand clubs program Civ
en- last night in the club house
under the auspices of the clubs
book section.
AS a background for the pioneer
tales, Miss Winifred Woodward
gave a splendid review OF Honore
Wilsie Morrow's Beyond the Blue
Sierra a book dealing with the
historic trip of the intrepid De
ANA across Imperial Valley in
1776.
The description of the famous
journey, of the many hardshipS
encountered. the courage and faith
of the band of explorers and the
ultimate success of the voyage were
we'll recounted by Miss Woodward.
Location of the trail by reference
to now familiar land marks placed
it clearly in the minds of her
listeners and gave them more
vivid realization of the enterprise
and bravery of the expedition
Characterization of the leader,
De ANA, and Of other prominent
men in the expedition added to
the reality Of the story.
Imperial valley some 80 years
ago, when the first permanent set
tiers arrived and began the SEEM
ingly impossible task of making a
home in the desert, was described
by Miss Edith Eicke.
Drawing upon the personal ex-
perienceS of such well known pio-
neers as Mrs. Leroy Holt, Mrs. w.
A. Edgar and Mrs. A. H. Girls
void, Miss Eicke made the old days
live once more. In describing the
many hardships, the difficulties en-
countered in making living con-
ditionS even tolerable and the
courage and perseverance required
by the early pioneers to continue
living in such a spot, she made her
audience aware of the great pro-
gress which has been made in the
short space Of 80 years. Expert
ences both sad and humorous were
described and the debt present.

Bunnell, Mrs. Agnes McEuen. Mrs.
f. C. Cheel. and Mrs. w. G. Costello
and Mrs. A. B. Hanson. the latter
two of Ell Centre.
Mrs DeNyse urged women to
study some of the theories and forms
of government which are often
deemed revolutionary with an open
mind to determine their merits
and faults.
Mrs. Hanson, district auditor,
spoke on Capitalism, giving its MS
tory, the necessity for capital ana
the fact that the capitalistic sys-
TEN and true democracy are IN
compatible. She urged the train
ing of legislators to bridge the gap
between capitalism and the form OF
government which will develop.
Mrs. Bunnell discussed the his
tory of FaScism, the rise to power
of Mussolini, the fact that it is a
doctrine, a theory, a way of life
rather than a form of government.
Evils and values Of Fascism were
discussed.
Discuss Radicalism
Mrs. E. C. Cheel spoke on Social
ism. on the schism that developed
in 1919, suggesting that Socialism
might be the transitional form Of
government between the present

Tecnnocracy was discussed by
Mrs. McEuen, who explained that
technocracy holds up the evils OF
money and the price system. feeling
that many social evils should be
avoided if profit were abolished.
Technocracy is problem of method
and is aimed at destruction of star
walton and overWork, offering n
comfortable living and plenty of
/ leisure in return.
Mrs. Costello discussed Commun-
ism. pointing out that it is derived
from the writings of Karl Marx
and that its ideal is the creation of
a society which will have no classes
because the means of production
and distribution will be owned in
common.
This ideal will probably be achiev-
ed, in the minds of its followers, by
means of a social revolution which
in the long run will achieve the
ideals Of communism by means of
a dictatorship of the proletariat.
She then discussed communism as
it operates in Russia today.
The meeting adjourned at
o clock for luncheon at the Barbara
Worth hotel when Mrs. George Bun
nell, state chairman of information
al relations was to discuss the pro-
