School Bulletin
Aid To Teachers

The June issue of the California
Schools, publication of the state
department of agriculture, contains
information which may interest
valley teachers, states G. B. Col
Inns, county superintendent.
One article is relative to the
training school for workers educa-
ton, where under the SERA unem-
ployed teachers may attend the
western summer school sessions to
prepare themselves for these train
ing schools. The course is given
at Occidental college July 9-August
4.
The other bulletin will be of par
ticular interest to teachers of ag-
,riculture since it is in regard to
loans available for students needing
credit assistance in conducting
their practice projects. These loans
are made available by the farm
credit association through the pro-
duction credit association and may
be handled by local chapters of the

LOCAL LIONS
ENJOY TALK
BY DENTIST

Care of the teeth was the subject
OF the interesting talk given by DR..
Raynor c. Clemons at this moons S
meeting of the Lions club at the
Barbara Worth.
The speaker discussed first the
Importance of the proper diet for
the mother in influencing the future
development of the child's teeth and
then discussed the development of
teeth for the period 1-13 years of
age, stressing the proper care.
Effect of soft foods on teeth de-
cay, the necessity of at least yearly
visits to dentist were emphaized.
DR.. ClemonS pointing out that only
II per cent of the nation pays a
yearly visit to the dentists. Bad
habits such as thumb sucking which
result in changing the shape of the
jaw were also discussed.
Various diseases are caused by
bad teeth, such as arthritis, sinus
infections, etc. False teeth are only
II as effective as natures and for
that reason the development and
>care of the teeth is important. DR..
Clemons declared that the healthy
child is the only one reared at a
minimum expense.
Guests of the club were Lawson
o. Odle, who has recently moved to
this city from Tuscon, Arizona, DR..

Melvin King was chairman of the
day.

CITY PLANS To
STORE WATER

That Ell Centro will not be
caught totally unprepared in case
the valley experiences water
shortage this summer was the
opinion expressed at the city en-
gineer's office this morning.
Officials of that department and
also those in charge of the city's
water supply stated they are study
ing the present situation very care
fully and are making plans for
the quick storage of water at the
city water plant in case such action
should be necessary.
1t is said that 30,000,000 gal
Ions of water can be stored there
in the different tanks and basins
of the plant. This, Phil w. knights,
city engineer, said, would be enough
to last the city for month or
so, giving 100000 gallons a day
for household consumption. This
figure was arrived at, Knights
said, to account for natural evap-
Grafton and seepage from the
tanks, which would cut down the
original figure considerably.
Preparations in other parts of
the county are also being made
for conservation of water partic-
ularly for the use of livestock and
the irrigation of fruit trees.
Rumors were prevalent today
that there is possibility of rain
falling within the next 36 hours
in the upper Colorado basin which
would relieve the situation materi-
ally.

taxes; it granted the president un-
precedented tariff powers; it legis-
lated for labor dispute emergencies.
The new deal', translated into
legislation, now will have new OPP
portunity to demonstrate its values.
The legislation accomplished by the
73rd congress affected the normal
citizen, the working man and wo-
man, and the millions who have
been without employment, more
than most of the previous laws put
together
Three of congress acts will fur
nish the keystone for an intensive
summer drive toward business re-
covery.
They are the tariff bill, permit
ting the President to negotiate reci-
procal trade agreements with for
eign nations without congressional
approval; the housing act, designed
to stimulate the construction indus
try; ano the bill granting feieral
loans to the smaller industries.
Grouped around these measures
are variety of laws which the Pre-
sident has desired so that "a more
abundant life" may be accorded the
people of the United States.
President Roosevelt did not go to
the Capitol for the adjournment
ceremonies. This has been a custom
with past presidents, who held a
court of honor outside the senate
chamber and signed measures as
they were enacted. Mr.. Roosevelt
dispensed with this formality at the
close of the special session last
spring, and did not go to the Cap
itol at night.

FRIEND NOT
EXACTLY THAT

Felix Montoya believes in the
sleight of hand prowess of a Ger
tain friend after an experience he
had last night, according to a re-
port filed at police headquarters.
Montoya told police this morning
that he had been paid last night
for some work done in the amount
of $50. Said friend was with him
at the time the money was handed
over and boasted of his powers OF
convincing anyone that the hand is
quicker than the eye. Montoya was
dubious of this boast at the time but
appears to have changed his ideas
in this matter considerably.
The two went to a restaurant for
dinner and when Montoya came to
pay his bill he discovered that the
money he had placed in his wallet
some time previously was a. W. o. |.

MAY SETTLE
STEEL STRIKE

WASHINGTON, June 10. U,P)-
Settlement of the threatened steel
strike was believed impending to-
day.
Shortly after steel union leaders
handed Frances Perkins, secretary
of labor, a four point compromise
plan she announced she would lay 1t
before President Roosevelt later to-
day.
WASHINGTON, June 10. DIP
Steel union leaders offered to make
the steel strike truce permanent
today, but conditioned the ges-
ture on government acceptance
of proposals of their own making.
They laid four-point peace plank
! before Frances Perkins secretary
of labor. 1t was based on COM
promise proposals drafted by Will
liam Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and ac-
| cepted by the union convention
in Pittsburgh last week.
Differing only slightly from the
governments newly enacted labor
| disputes Cancellation law, it pro-
posed a tri-party mediation board,
with power to arbitrate workers
! complaints, hold union collective
bargaining elections, and enforce
majority representation.
The labor disputes resolution
,, awaiting President Roosevelt's sig
nature, differs in that it provides
for equal representation for all
workers, whether they are af-
, filioted with company or labor
| unions
Union officials, headed by Mic
hael Tighe, Pittsburgh, information
al president, presented a counter
offer and at the same time asked
an audience with President Roose-
velt. It was indicated this would
be denied, but Miss Perkins and
the President were to discuss the
strike situation later today.
Green reiterated previous state
ments that acceptances of the pro-
| posal would bring peace to the
industry Acting as Tighe's spokes-
man, he said I'VE are carrying out
instructions of the convention. We
hope our proposal will be accepted
by the steel operators. If they are
accepted thu war will be over.
