CHAMBERS HEAR FINE ADDRESS
BY WHITTIER COLLEGE HEAD

Representatives from all member
chambers of the Associated Cham
hers of Commerce of Imperial
county met in Ell Centre last night
to hear DR.. Walter F.. Dexter, presi-
dent OF Whittier college, the speak
er of the evening. During the bus
iness meeting preceding DR.. Dexter's
talk resolution was unanimously
passed urging the need of the es-
tablishment of a national guard
battalion in Imperial Valley, copies
of which will be forwarded to Gov
ernor RolpE and the California
delegation in Washington.
A resolution was also passed ask
ing President Roosevelt to study
the suitability of Imperial Valley
for inclusion in the back to the
land movement" a program being
planned to place families OH small
Farm acreages where they could be
self-supporting A. j. Mercier, OF
Calexico, pointed out the import
ance of such colonization in I'M
perial Valley and Ira Aten, director
of the Imperial Irrigation district,
described the advantages of using
delinquent tax land for this pur-
pose.
A report was made by Secretary
Langlois regarding telegram sent
to senators and congressman in
Washington urging continuation Of
TIE Bard experiment station and a
letter pledging assistance from
Congressman Burnham was read.
1.-The American Way of Life" was
the subject of DR.. Dexter'S talk.
He pointed out that we are today
living in an unbalanced age OF dis
turbed social conditions and re-
ferred to it as one of the most in
teresting and serious periods in the
history Of all civilization" One OF
the problems before us, the speak
er pointed out, is how society can
make progress without sitting tie
individual, and the answer to this
is that the individual must be rec
ognized and his personality revaiu-
ated. Our American philosophy has
never been to hold the individual
Cheaply nor TO use rim as means
to an end when it is detrimel tai
to the individual
Liberty Means Order
The second great problem is how
the individual can succeed without
disruptlng the socia, order or the
five great qualities of American
life-liberty, justice, equality of op-
portunity, intellectual welfare and
stimulation to service. In eniarg-
ing on this subject the speaker
stated that liberty in America
stands for, and las always stood
tor, ordered liberty and not abso"
lutte liberty, and has always cried
out against injustice. The intel
lectllal welfare of the nation has
Imperial Valley press., 1934-01-27

been achieved through the school
system and we are striving for
equity of opportunity which can
come only when every man has work
which gives him this equity.
IF an individual is properly
trained he will not disrupt the So
tial order and he will SO live that
all his life is suited to the best in
terests of society as a whole"
stated DR.. Dexter "Tee Stimula-
ton to service has ever been pres
ent in American life." There is a
great social movement today, so
rapid it is difficult to follow, which,
we are told, may lead to a social
istic government on one hand or
an indlvidualistic on the other. 1t
should be neither, but the two great
principles should be fused"
There are three PHILOSOPHERS OF
life, the speaker stated, what be-
longs to you belongs to me; what
belongs to me is my own, and what
belongs to me is yours as well. This
last Is the American philosophy and
with it we can meet the challenge
which is before us today to solve
the problem of feeding every in
dlvidual as we have solved success
fully the many national problems
which have met the country before.
Charles Horrworth, field secre-
tary Of the All-Year club of South
ern California reported that in
quiries were coming in rapidly con-
cerning Imperial Valley due to TIE
fact that this community is now
participating in the All-Year Club
national advertising. He stated that
Imperial Valley is now in the tour
list business and urged that every
business house and every individual
recognize this fact and do every
thing possible to increase the tour
ist business.

FLAX GROWERS
PLAN MEETING
ON WEDNESDAY

A meeting of flax growers which
will consider the formation of CO.
operative is announced by the farm
advisors office to be held in the
court house at Ell Centre at 2 p. m.
next Wednesday, January 81. The
meeting will be addressed by F. R.
Wilcox, extension specialist in mar
keting of the University of Califor-
mia. Proposed articles of incorpora-
ton of the Southwest Flax Grow
ers association will II discussed.
These were worked out by COM
mittee composed of Argyle McLach-
lin and Fred Gunterman of CAL
eXico, G. F.. Kamm of Holtyille, and
j. d. Adams of Ell Centro, with the
assistance of C. G.. Halliday, Imper-
ial county deputy district attorney
The above committee was selected
by larger representative group OF
local growers who concluded that
cooperative would be of assistance
in guiding the destinies of their
new industry. Through the farm
adviser, they contacted Wilcox who
supplied forms of organization as
guide to the committee.
While the group did not believe it
advisable for a farmers organiza-
ton to enter the processing and
milling field they felt that a CO.
operative could transact the mar
keting with the mills for the grow
ers, could aid in maintaining the
tariff, help establish federal flax
grades, assist growers in working out
harvesting problems and help the
industry in other ways.
1t is stated by the farm advisor
that this meeting will give grow
ers the opportunity of determining
whether they themselves wish to
handle the problems of their indus
try, or whether they wish to leave
these problems to other agencies,
whose interest may or may not CO.
incide with that of the growers.

KINDERGARTEN
BEGINNERS TO
BE ELIMINATED

The board of trustees of Ell Gen.
tro school district has authorized
Superintendent c. A. Weakley to
announce that there will not be a
beginning class in kindergarten for
the second semester, which opens
January 90. This action was taken
after careful consideration of the
good of the children who are con-
cerned, and the cost required for
additional teachers.
An intensive study of the whole
problem of mid-year promotions will
be made by the board during the
current year with the thought of in
creasing the efficiency of the educa-
tional program and at the same
time, decreasing the cost.
Since the sigh school does not
admit the eighth grade mid-year
graduating class, it is doubtful If
mid-year promotions can be justi-
fled in the lower grades.
Should the anticipated change in
organization take place as re-
suit of this study, all the pupils in
our elementary schools would be
classified and regarded next Sep
tember for the annual promotion
plan. In that event, there would be
no advantage in having a beginning
kindergarten class at this time, be-
cause the pupils would not be able
to enter first grade until year
from next September.

SHERIFF EM|G DEFENDS ACTION
AGAINST SAN JOSE LYNCH MOB

SAN JOSE, Calf, Jan. 81. U.P)-
At a session featured by a verbal
clash between Sheriff William J..
Emig and attorneys for the family
of the two lynch victims, a Santa
Clara county coroners jury today
decided that Jack Holmes and Tho
mas Thurmond died last November
at the hands of an unknown" mob.
I'VE find that Jack Holmes and
Thomas Thurmond died by strang-
ulation by hanging at the hands of
a mob, members of which are un-
known to the jury" was the Off
cial verdict after six witnesses had
testified.
Last witness to be called was
Sheriff Emig, who staunchly upheld
his actions after Holmes and Thur
mond were arrested and charged
with the kidnapping and murder of
Brooke Hart, young San Jose busi-
nesSman and member of a lead
ing family of the city.
Attorney Alfred Aram, for the
Holmes family, and Emmett Got
eSi'DSi 3, iSPio ioociioiiiS Vic liiul uiOlfu
family, took issue with the sheriff
on several points. They were join
ed by Mrs. Gail Karnagel, sister of
Thurmond, who rose from her seat
to question Emig.
Aram said Emig erred in taking
the two men to the San Francisco
Jail and then returning them to the
Santa Clara county Jail here after
a crowd had started to gather and
the situation had become more dam
gerous than before the San Fran
cisco trip. lie said Emie took them
to San Francisco for safe keeping"
The sheriff replied that he had
not taken the pair to San Francis
co for safe keeping but for addition
al questioning.

Holmes had not confessed at the
time we went to San Francisco"
said Emig.
Didn't Want TO Shoot
Attorney Gottenberg then asked
the sheriff if he thought he had
done everything possible to protect
Holmes and Thurmond the night
the mob stormed the Jail. Emig re-
piled that he felt that he had.
I'D you believe the men on the
battering ram, pounding at the
door were intent on murder?" ask
ed the attorney.
IT assumed So was Emig's re-
ply.
do you not believe that had you
shot down one or two of the lead
ers, the others would have retreat
ed?" was the next question.
IT don't think so,' said the sher-
iff. Besides, innocent people would
have been endangered by shots.
There were many newspaper repor-
ters in the crowd and on the court
house steps across the streets"
Emig became angry at insinua-
tions of the two lawyers that he had
not taken all possible precautions to
save Holmes and Thurmond from
the mob.
Il called the San Jose police de-
partment, the San Jose fire de-
partment, the Santa Clara Fire de-
partment, the Palo Alto police, the
San Francisco police and the gov
ernor of California" Emig said, tes-
tily. "If you think I could have
done anything more, I'd like to have
you tell me what it was.'
Other witnesses included Mrs
Karnagel, Morris Holmes, father OF
Jack, two doctors and representative
of the coroner, VINO cut down the
bodies from trees in st. James park.
