is extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Rollie
Clark, residing two miles south of
Ell Centre on Eighth street, in the
death of their son, Rollie, Jr., 18,
which occurred shortly after o.

boyhood. He graduated from Gen.
trail Union high school last June

survived by a brother, Raymond.

ELECT
NEW OFFICERS

Election of officers. plans for a
picnic and for Mothers day and a
talk on Americanism by Charles
E. Nice, featured the regular meet
ing of Ell Centro lodge of Elks last
night.
Harry Horton was chosen exalted
ruler, with other officers being
named as follows: Lou r. Philley,
esteemed leading knight; Mark
Connolly, esteemed loyal knight;
Leslie F. Rogers, esteemed lecturing
knight; Henry Swanson, secretary;
Fred Gianola, treasurer; Allen P.
Nuffer, trustee and Fred Nebel-
Thau alternate to the grand lodge.
The picnic will be held at ia
cumba late this month, a commit
tee being named to plan for the
occasion.
A challenge to a baseball game
by Boyce Aten post, was accepted
and Fred Nebel-Thau was named
to make arrangements.
Nice gave a detailed account of
the activities of Communism in this
country and issued a warning that
all Americans should be on guard
against the radicals and unite their
efforts to combat the work of
"RedS.'
Elsewhere in this issue the ex-
alted rulers invitation to the pub
lie to participate in the Elks'
Mothers day program will be
found.
In this connection he said to The
Press today, "we hope all who can
do so will make an effort to at
tend the program. We know the
hall will probably be hot but heat
does not keep mothers from taking
care of the needs of their families.
Nor should we permit trips or other
diversions to make us forget Moth
er's day. Mothers give up many
pleasures that they may take care
of the home and their sacrifice for
their families is known to all.
"Surely we can take a little time
on one day of the year to honor
our mothers and the Elks will be
glad to give others the privilege and
honor of joining with them in their
program
Imperial Valley press., 1934-05-11

a two year course which complet-
ed my six years of college work.
AS result of completing this
course, combined with my practical
experience in teaching, the state of
Texas granted me life certificate
as teacher.
Owing to the fact that I was
born and raised on a farm, an oc-
cupation that / followed until a
young man, agriculture was one of
my major subjects during my COL
lege career
I also officiated as superintend-
ent of rural high schools during a
portion of my teaching career in
Texas.
In order to supplement my pro-
fessional occupation, took a COM
mercial course in short hand and
bookkeeping at Brantley Draughn IS
Business college, Fort Worth, Tex,
during the summers of 192021.
I came to California in 1928 To-
eating in Long Beach, where I
successfully took and passed the
otdJC
me for an electric motorman and
conductor. AS result of this eX-
animation, I entered the service of
the Pacific Electric Railway where
l worked until leaving for Imper-
ial Valley.
My first position after arriving
in Imperial Valley was with the
irrigation district, under M. w.
Hill. Later 1 was assigned to extra
work in the office which was fol-
lowed by my appointment as zan-
jero on October l, 1925. My scope
of activity included supervision of
the Dahlia, Evergreen and Lotus
canals. I held this position until
March /, 1929, when I was en-
rolled as a member of the Ell Gen.
tro police department, a position
that I still occupy.
My experience in the police de-
partment has included service both
as night and day desk sergeants.
These positions brought me into in
innate contact with police court
activities and the various ramifi-
cations of small court actions.
I believe that my education and
practical experience eminently quail
ifies me for the position of justice
of the peace, as candidate should
have substantial foundation up
on which to build.
In submitting my candidacy to
the people of Ell Centro township,
I have no heSitancy in soliciting
support on my record as a public
servant who has striven at all times
to serve the public in a conScien-
tiouS manner.
If elected, shall endeavor to give
the people of this township an eff
ficient, economical, courteous ad-
miniStration. / shall announce a
full and complete platform later.
Meanwhile I earnestly solicit and
will appreciate the support of the
lectorate-(adv)

In a statement to FireStone Dealers
and the Motoring Public, Leonard
Firestone today announced the new
Firestone Tire for 1884 and told OF
the greatest improvements ever made
III balloon type tires.
The young executive brimming with
enthusiasm and confidence told how
Firestone engineers, always a step
ahead OF the industry had developed
The first successful balloon tire in
1928, and have initiated every worth
while development and improvement
IN tires since then.
1T is only natural after considering
that Fitestone brought out the first
all-rubber non-skid tire and the above
facts that we should lead in she fur
ther development of tire construction
10 meet the demands OF the high,
powered, high speed cars of today.
Firestone engineers and chemists
brought out startling developments to
assure motorists of safer, longer, and
more economical tire performance.
The result is a new 1884 Firestone
High Speed Tire with a wider, fatter
tread, greater thickness, deeper nom
skid, more and tougher rubber and
non-skid contact with the road"
These Improvements result in more
than 500 added non skid mileage in
these new tires" Mr.. Firestone de-
clared. This added safety and pro-
lection against blowouts, and greater
economy than ever before is made
possible by the Firestone patented and
exclusive process of Gum-Dipping,
whereby the millions of cotton fibres
inside the high stretch cords are
soaked and coated with pure live rub
Der which provides greater strength
and greater adhesion between the
tread and body of the tires"
For IA consecutive years, leading
race drivers have driven to victory on
Firestone Tires built with Gum
Dipped High Stretch Cords. The
tires are given the severest test known
each May 30th when they are driven
at terrific speeds over the hot bricks
in the 500 mile indianapolis Speed
Classic. They are also road tested on
the large fleet of Firestone Test Cars,
day and night, every day of the year,
over all kinds of roads and highways.
The new Firestone Tire is recognized
by car owners as the Masterpiece of
Tire Construction.
Firestone Dealers everywhere. have
the new 1854 tires in their stores and
are ready to show the added advan-
tages and construction features of the
Firestonc High Speed Tire.
