In the interest Of preserving this
important monument, and of the
building of the Imperial highway,
will you not go down to the old sta
tion and ascertain the conditions
and who is there and see if the
building cannot be allowed to re-
main intact as far as possible. OF
course, if these people are there on
authority of the owner we cannot
do anything except TO ask them as
favor to preserve the Vallecitos
stage station. If, however, the
building is occupied by unauthor-
lied suuatters, we might be able to
do something in the matter, and we
know that your interest in the I'M
perial highway and all that lies on
the route will permit you to do ev-
efything possible TO see that the

Yours very truly,

Quoted by the delegates of differ

great success according to II. Lee
Landerman, assistant farm advlS-
or, in charge of the work,
Northrop, who is we'll known as a
leader in community recreation, in
we'll chosen remarks pointed out
that leadership is usually born, not
made. He said that developing or
training leaders is more simply
stated as discovering latent ability
or talents of individuals possessing
leadership ability. He proceeded 10
demonstrate his remarks with a
short skit by three people who had
actually spent 10 minutes IN pre-
paration. Two had never tried to
do anything of that nature prev
iously. The result, however, left
the definite impression that they
possess ability.
