TWO LEGITIMATE COMEDIES
THE VOICE OF
Christmas and You!
Even the day after

I guess, like you I've had my share
Of ups and downs. of thrills and pain.
I've slogged along without care
Through sunlit fields. through fog and rain
But every time that Christmas nears,
Dream castles tumble in the sands.
And then long for childhood years
That slipped too fast through careless hands
want to travel back once more
Through drifting dreams Of long ago.
To meet welcome at the door,.
To see red berries in the snow.
I want to find that beaten track
That leads me home through memory lane.
I want to have those kid-days back
So you and could meet again.

Manahan Announces North land Transportation
 Co. to Add Boat

The North Wind, which has just undergone alterations including m stallation of accommodations for Is passengers, will shortly be placed on the Seattle-Alaska run by the Northland Transportation Company, it was announced today by w. J.. Manahan, Assistant General Man ager, who arrived yesterday on a regular business trip. It will run between Seattle and Juneau, but probably not on a regular schedule at first, since the company has commitments for freight which will not permit the use of the vessel on scheduled trips at the outset, he said.
 The company is still on the look cut for another ship for its Alaska route, MT. Manahan said. A vessel it had been negotiating for recent ly and which was favorably con- sidered, proved to be foreign-built and foreign owned boat and was, therefore, not available.
 Business conditions continue to show material improvement, par ticularly in seasonal shipping lines, he said. The outlook for the season is excellent. He will remain here until the end of the week before leaving for southern towns.

FIRE DAMAGES

Undetermined damages were caus-

the projection room. The depart

clock as smoke was observed pour
ing out of a ventilator in the roof
of the building.
Tom ReamS, fire chief, stated la
ter in the day that the amount of
the damages could not be deter
mined until complete check had
been made.
He said further that the fire had
eaten its way into a portion of the
wall conduits, making it necessary
to remove panel of the wall.

Marketing Agreement and Lii
cense. Leland Yost of Mecca, is
covering the Coachella Valley dis
trict and E B. Holt of Calexico, is
lining up the deal in Yuma and

On account of the proration pro-
gram not becoming fully effective
until after the peak movement of
grapefruit last season there was no
way of testing the real value of
the program for the grapefruit
producers. With the experience
and results obtained in prorating
the shipments of Valencia oranges
in California during the past few
months, grapefruit producers from
the start of the season this year
will have the benefit of a complete
proration program. With 100 per

will assist greatly in getting the

the company.
Thousands of drivers of all
types and ages of cars were asked
to list their various preferences, -
he stated. 1.-The answers obtained
by door to door interviewers were
carefully tabulated, and the prefer

were accurately analyzed.
