WOHACK AND HETZEL

For members Of the city council at the
municipal election to be held on April 9.
The Press will support Roy Womack
and Leo Hetzel
The former filed for the office this
morning and the latter filed yesterday.
In lending its support to these two men
The Press does so solely because it is
convinced they can and will render the
best service to the people of FL Centre.
This publication has entered into no
agreement with either candidate and
does not know at this writing whether
they are Joint candidates or are candi-
dates Independent of each other.
The decision to support them is made
with due recognition of the qualities of
the other candidates for office and with
out any intention to disparage their fit
ness for service. We realize that there
will be some who will not agree with
our choice. That is the right of all in
democracy.
The Press is glad that there are other
candidates to oppose those to whom it
will give its support, for in that way an
opportunity is given the voting public to
express its preference, and on their de-
cision the choice of councilmen rests.
Mr. Womack has been engaged in bus
iness here for the past 10 years. He was
elected a member of the board Of gram
mar school trustees last year, this being
his first public office. His record as a
businessman and citizen is of the high
est. Decidedly not politician, he will
give to the city's business the same care
full attention that he has given to his
own.
Mr.. Hetzel has been a resident and
businessman of Ell Centre for more than
two decades. He is a former president
of the Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
and is at present member of important
state committees on highways and avia-
ton. His interest in these two lines of
endeavor has caused him to devote con-
siderable time to public affairs and he
has done much to promote the welfare of
Ell Centro and Imperial Valley. He has
not held public office, nor is he poll
tician. The Press has every confidence
in his ability to make a splendid men,
Der of the city council.

"Oh, I mean plop into the pond"
said Noodle. You see, Uncle Wig
gily, it is already getting much
warmer. The ice is beginning to
melt and get soft. Only when ice is
frozen hard will it keep you up. In
little while you may slide down
the frozen waterfall and skid across
the ice on the pond, and if the ice
on the pond is soft and thin you
will plop into the water"
After this long talk Noodle nib
bled some more bark. And Uncle
Wiggily said:
I'll be careful. Ill only slide a
few more times and then I'll hop
nome to my bungalow before I plop
in Goodbye, beaver boys. Thank
you for showing me how to have a

"Good-byel" called Toodle and
Noodle as they ran home to theii
stick and mud house in another
pond. Don't plop I'M"

SWING STILL CLICKS

Last Friday, directors of the Imperial
Irrigation District, by four to one vote,
Director Mark Rose casting the only dis
senting vote, decided to ask Phil D. Swing
to help them get release of the S6,00O,O0O
appropriation for the All-American can

Administration.
Late Friday night President Evan T.
Hewes contacted Swing by telephone in
Washington and the former congressman
agreed to help the district.
Today the news comes from Washing
ton that the appropriation has been re-
leased to DR.. Elwood Mead, director of
reclamation, and the way is therefore

UNCLE WIGGILY PLOPS IN

Uncle Wiggily was having as
much fun on a certain afternoon as
he had had any day all Winter, eX-
cept perhaps, when he made maple
sugar in the woods. For now the
rabbit gentleman was having some
last slides down a frozen Waterhill
with Toodle and Noodle, the beaver
boys.
Uncle Wiggily, as I told you in
the story last night, was using a
piece of tree bark for sled The
reason I say tree bark" is because
unless I did some of you might
think the rabbit gentleman was slid
ing down hill on the bark of dog.
That can't be done, you know.
No one ever slid down hill on a
dogs bark, though I have often
seen a barking dog slide down hill.
The beaver boys were using their
own broad flat tails for Sleds and
very good they were. Oh, such fun
as they were having, Scrambling I'D
the side of the frozen waterfall,
starting at the top and sliding all
the way down to the bottom where
| the fall ended in a frozen pond!
Imperial Valley press., 1934-03-20

And the slide went halfway across
the pond.
Il certainly am glad you beaver
boys invited me to slide with you,
said Uncle Wiggily as he went up
to the top of the frozen waterfall
for about the umphteenth time.
I'VE are glad to have you with
u.s." said Toodle.
Make the most of this sliding,
warned Noodle. 1T will be the last
for a long time. Tomorrow is Spring
and the weather is so warm the ice
will melt and there will be no more
sliding until next Winter"
yes, this is the last of my slid
ing" said the rabbit.
After a while Toodle and Noodle,
who had been on the slide for .
long time before Uncle Wiggily ar
rived, said they had enough.
I'm going home said Toodle
chewing on a bit of bark; for bark
to a beaver boy is what a lollypop
is TO you.
II guess Ill go home with you,
said brother Noodle. Are you COM
ing, Uncle Wiggily?"
No" answered the rabbit gentle
man. II am going to stay and slide
a little longer. If it's my last slide
of the Winter, l want to have all
the fun I can"
We'll, be careful" warned Noodle
as he, also, nibbled some bark.
Careful Of what?" asked Uncle
Wiggily. Don't you want me to be
careful not to wear out my bark
sled? Or perhaps you think I may
! wear out the ice," and he laughed
again until his pink nose tWinkled
upside down.
You must be careful not to plor
in," said Noodle.
"Plop in, where?" asked the rabbit
gentleman, still laughing. Il GER

CUMMINGS SPEAKS OUT

In considering factors having a bear
ing on what is wrong with our country.
one cannot overlook the significant state
ment made yesterday by Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings.
Testifying before the senate judiciary
committee, the attorney general of the
United States declared there are more
members of the underworld under arms
IN the United States, than there are
members of the army and navy.
1t is not likely that the attorney gen.
eral was eXaggerating. He is in position
to obtain correct information and it
might be remembered parenthetically.
that Mr.. Cummings has years of reputa-
tion as conservative, back of him.
He has not made the acquaintance of
the criminal element since he became
cabinet member, As prosecuting attor-
ney of Fairfield county, Connecticut, he
made the acquaintance of the profession
al criminal years ago. The county is the
nearest Connecticut county to New York
and criminals residing in the latter state
occasionally came over into Connecticut
to ply their trade. No small number of
them bumped into Mr. Cummings, and
were sent to the state prison for their
crimes
When he makes such statement as he
did yesterday, it can be taken for fact.
The attorney general was testifying be-
fore the committee in behalf of new leg
islation to help crush crime. He explain
ed that the federal government does not
seek to usurp the functions of the states
and counties in operating against the
criminal element, but rather to cooperate
with state and county law enforcement
officials.
He pointed out that state barriers form
an effective refuge sometimes for the
professional criminal and he would have
congress pass legislation to wipe out this
weakness in the laws structure. That it
is necessary is evident from the futile
efforts of California to bring back from
Florida an acknowledged criminal be-
cause the governor of Illinois has inter-
fered in the eXtradition hearing.
The recent scramble by several states
to get the Dillinger gang after their ar
rest in Arizona is also evidence of the
need for Tightening up on the profession
al criminal.
Where federal officers have cooperat-
ed with other officials, they have been
able to make life miserable for the Grim
inal element.
1t is not to the credit of the United
States that a condition such as Mr.. Cum
mings points out, should exist. Anything
that can eradicate it should have the full
support of congress and the people.
