The schools of the East Side and
the Health Unit of the Daughter
Elks are uniting their forces this
year and are sponsoring the obser-
vance of the National Negro Health
week. This annual observance was
begun by the late Booker T. Wash
ington. Great good has resulted
therefrom and SO beneficial has
been the effort during this period
that the United States Public
Health Service is lending it's efforts
to the effort and with the assist
ance of the Negro Health Week
Committee composed of prominent
Negro doctors and educators, wide
publicity has been given to the OBJ
Servance.
This year, National Negro Health
Week is being celebrated Sunday,
April l, to Sunday, April 8. The
following very excellent local pro-
gram has been prepared: morning
sessions 1920 to 1880. East Side

city because of this fund each
year.
There will be placed on the
April city election ballot, a propo-
sltion to annul this one mill ad-
vertising tax, giving the electors
chance to vote on repeal of the
measure if they so desire.
Regardless of this thoughtless
action, it is certainly to be hoped
that the people of Ell Centre will
not foolishly do away with the
most equitable and most painless
method of obtaining funds with
which to carry on civic enterprises
wherein every one profits.
Many cities throughout Cali
fornia and the country as a whole,
raise many thousands of dollars
annually through similar infin-
itesimal taxes to support worthy
civic projects, establish parks, etc.
and Ell Centre will only be the loser
If the residents vote down the prop
oSition next month.
ut is generally agreed that no
chamber of commerce, be the city
large or small, can successfully
operate entirely on membership
dues. Additional financial support
from property owners, both resident
and nonresident, who are not en-
gagged in merchandising or other
business, but who, nevertheless,
have a stake in the city and should
have an interest in its growth and
welfare and development, would
seem a very fair proposition. AT
ter all, whenever a city prospers
because of a live chamber of COM
merce, it is not alone the bust
ness man who benefits but every
individual who has any property
interests in that city.
Let us hope that Ell Centro's
citizenry will be intelligent enough
to retain its city advertising levy
and that the electors of Imperial
Valleys capital city will vote a
decisive mo" on the proposition
to remove it."
Imperial Valley press., 1934-03-31

Other communities throughout
California are watching with in
terest the results of Ell Centro's
election on April 0, to determine
if the 1-mill levy is to be re-
tanned, and if Ell Centre is to re-
main in the ranks of those Cali
fornia cities which are forging
ahead.
Woodland is the county seat of
Yolo county, in the heart of the
great productive Sacramento river
valley. A progressive newspaper
there, THE Mail of Woodland"
has touched on the Ell Centric l.
mill situation, and has protested
against the revoking of this small
but important levy for building up
the city. In its Comments of the
Day. the Woodland editorial
writer, who uses the initials sc.
c. S." urges the voters of Ell Gen.
tro to continue to support their
chamber Of commerce and to build
their city, in these words:
Human nature is peculiar
thing. Rarely do people know when
they are we'll off. Six years ago
the people of Ell Centre voted a one
mill tax for advertising, part of
which has been turned over to the
chamber of commerce in the I'm
perial Valley city. Needless to
state, the chamber has been able
to do a lot of worth while, con-
Structive things in behalf of the
