THERE AND HERE

Did you ever, in the long ago, start out
on Saturday with your cronieS to gather
nuts? If you did you must have thor
oughly enjoyed jim Williams cartoon
in last night Press. If you never had
such a Joy, you missed one of bOyhood'S
finest sports.
The cartoon showed the Worry Wart"
and two chumS at the base of a big
chestnut tree, heaving clubs up into it
to knock down the nuts Off to one-side
is the essential dog who busted himself
hunting woodchucks, squirrels or any
thing else while his pals gathered hickor-
les, walnutS, cheStnutS or whatever was
available
Memories of crisp. autumn days back
east were inspired by the cartoon. One re-
called the hike out to the wooded section,
the hours spent hurling clubs into trees,
'Shucking" the nuts, and the triumphant
tramp back to town with bag of nuts
slung across each back. the size depend
ing on the energy of the Individual in go
ing after what he sought. Perhaps, if
you thought about it, you could wangle
some sandwiches for lunch, but often as
not lunch was forgotten or eaten on the
way out, with the consequences that boys
ready to eat the family flatirOnS showed
up in mid-afternOon and demanded lots

The reader may ask how we know it
is chestnut tree beneath which the kids
are standing. The chestnut burr, plain
j. showing, is the answer Haven't you
ever battled with a chestnut burr? The
boy who hasn't had his fingers pricked
by them has missed a great deal.
There are lots of Imperial Valley kids
who have never known the fun of gath
ering nuts. 1t is only one of countless
Juvenile attractions necessity and enVir-
onment have forced them to miss. This
is a condition which should prompt the
older generation to give their fullest sup
port to any project providing better rec
reational facilities for valley youngsters.
Considering the handicaps under which
they grow up, the youngsters do a fine
lob of it. The few who do go wrong
would be even less, if the adults took a
little more time to provide them with
proper substitutes for such wholesome
recreations as nut-gathering, skating,
sliding, swimming and numerous other
activities which juveniles should have.
Or can there be adequate substitution?

his textbook for new congressman.
The handsome colonel. VINO is
secretary OF the senate and who is
older than he looks despite his

that tenderfoot lawmakers had
been struggling long enough with
out rules. Some Of them became
entangled in parliamentary jams
so tough that not even John Nance
Garner could unwind them,
Some embarrassed the senate.
Some embarrassed the President
And some merely embarrassed
themselves-all because they didn't
have a simple explanation Of the

So was Baby Bunty, the basket
was SO small. Their legs and ears
got all tangled and Bunty laughed.
But Uncle Wiggily cried:
"Help! Help! Help!' Then Nurse
Jane ran in and pulled them out
of the boat and everything was all
right. Next day Bunty went to
school.

which has worried many a legisla-

plains it:
THE first two hours Of the daily
session of the senate, beginning
at noon if an adjournment, as
distinguished from recess, was
taken on the previous day, con-
stitute what is known as the NOR
ming hour Business during this
period is governed by rules VII,

Of the senate. When a recess is ta-

mitting the senate TO resume i'm
mediately the consideration Of its
unfinished business"

complicated rules sometimes have

Getting cotton piekers to harvest the
valley crop seems to be presenting con-
siderable difficulty to ranchers and Of
ficials of the SERA.
Yesterday truck waited at Brawley
for several hours to transport cotton
pickers to a ranch, but Notwithstanding
adequate information concerning the
available work, not a single person
showed up to take a Job.
There have been numerous instances
elsewhere of workers who preferred
SERA jobs to those offered by others
and undoubtedly there are some such in
the valley.
The absurdity of taxing a rancher to
support the SERA when its existence
probably prevents him from obtaining
the help to harvest his crop, thereby get
ting money to pay his taxes, is apparent
to all
SERA officials are doing what they
can to avoid this condition and have
adopted new means to treat with those
who refuse to accept work in harvesting
the cotton crop.
A written order for necessary labor
will be given by the rancher to the Ma
tional Unemployment agency, stating
type of work, wages and ether data. This
information will be passed on to the
SERA in writing and persons listed by
the latter, who are not otherwise en-
ployed and who refuse to accept the work
offered, will be dropped from the SERA
rolls.
Conditions applying to cotton are also
applicable to other crops. Inability to
get labor to move them is inconsistent
with the number of persons being car
ried by the SERA The latter was not
organized to carry anyone in even MIMI
mum comfort and idleness while there is
work to be done The sooner those on the
SERA rolls are made to realize that the
better and, anything SERA officials can
do to speed up knowledge of this fact is
to be commended.

Mrs. Wiley outlined the bill and ex-

NURSERY OPENED
WITH 8ATTEND|NG
First Session of Center at
Fairbrothers School Is
HeId-11 Planned.

Six little boys and two little girls.
all under 5 years of age. attended
the first session of the emergency
nursery center at the Fairbrothers
School at Tenth and E streets yes
terday morning. In charge of them
were a teacher, a nurse and dieti-
clan.
Some of the children were home
sick their first day away from home.
One small boy, while he was finish
ing his lunch, looked around defiant
ly at his fellow students and said,
"After I go to sleep I go home!"
Eleven of these centers are planned
six for white children and five for
colored-as soon as furniture and
materials can be collected and the
children physically examined and
vaccinated. Each center will be geared
to take care of Is children. The
schools will be supported by District
relief funds and the teachers will be
paid from the District relief pay rolls.
Furniture Collected.
The object of this is threefold. It
gives work to teachers who are out
of employment, it takes care OF little
children between the ages OF and
S and the mothers of these children
are to be benefited by being allowed
to come to the schools and study the
care and feeding Of small children.
In each center the teacher is going
to organize the mothers in groups to
learn about diet and to receive home
medical advice.
Clean. big. sunny rooms are being
provided for the centers. Furniture,
such as long. low tables and tiny
chairs, have been collected from kim
dergartens. Toys have been donated.
cots for the children to sleep on have
been loaned by the Neighborhood
House. It was explained at the Bu-
reau OF Education that though this
idea was promulgated in December 1t
has been slow work getting the equip
ment together. Now they are on their
way. The S. j. Bowen Center will
open soon, followed by the Seaton, the
Peabody, the Buchanan and the Cor
coran.
Watched During Meals.
In the morning the children play
with toys and blocks. One small.
fuzzy-headed girl at the Falrbrothers
School yesterday seized q doll with
long baby clothes and clutched 1t
tightly all morning. She could only
be persuaded to play with other chill
dren provided her baby was clamped
Under her left arm
At - o'clock they all have lunch
consisting of whole-wheat bread and
butter milk an orange and hot dish
which varies. Sometimes they have
vegetable soup, sometimes spaghetti.
Eggs are going to be introduced into
the menu. During the meal the
teacher and the dietician and the
nurse watch them, helping them to
eat, and keeping them from grabbing
each others food or wandering back
toward the toys.
When they are through eating they
are bundled up in blankets and put
on canvas cots. Then the door Is
closed, the room Is darkened. air is
let in and they sleep until 8 o'clock,
when their mothers call for them.
