been erected in His honor.
Ambrose In the fourth century. The
influence which he and the school
he founded exerted on English
hymnody is alive even to this day
Following him came Vanantius Fortu-
mates, whose Easter hymn, Saliva
Festa Dies" has been used for CEN
turtles. A legend is told of st. Gregory
the Great and how he, after St
Ambrose, became the greatest writer
Of hymns of the early days. The story
goes that Gregory was lied to inquire
whether he could not, like David. con-
secrate music to the service of God.
One night he had a vision. The
church appeared to him in the form
OF muse writing her songs and
gathering her children under the folds
OF her mantle. Upon the mantle was
written the whole art of music, with
all the forms of its tones, notes,
neumes and various measures and
symphonies. He prayed to God to
give him the power to recollect all
that he saw. After he awoke a dove
appeared and dictated to him the
unusual compositions with which he
has enriched the church."
At the time of the Reformation
Martin Luther raised a monument to
his courage and belief in the justice
of his cause in some 40 hymns he
wrote, as well as the great battle
song of the Reformation, "Eine feste
Berg ist unser Gott." This hymn,
sung today at all great national events
in Germany. inspired Mendelssohn to
compose his Reformation Symphony"
More than a hundred years later
DR.. Isaac Watts, in England, poured
out his faith in hundreds of hymns,
124 of which are still in constant
use in this country since the time
when Benjamin Franklin published
them in 1741. 1t is said of him that
he "christianized one-fourth of the
world" through the use of his hymns
Still another, Charles Wesley provided
some of the grandest hymns in the
English language, his Jesus, Lover of
My Soul" being unsurpassed in beauty
and appeal.
Some of the most cherished hymns
Of the church have been written by
women, beginning with st. Cecilia,
the patron saint of music of the early
ages. Anne Steele composed IA
hymns in 1850. In the beginning of
the nineteenth century was written
three Of the hymns that are uni
versally beloved. Just as I Am," writ
ten in 1885 by Charlotte Elliott. Sarah
Adams Nearer My God to Thee" in

In the Revelation" St. John,
the Divine speaks of "a new song
before the throne" and this song has
found its birth and growth in the
hymns of the church. 1t has taken
root deep in the hearts of the
followers Of Christianity and blossomed
forth into the great masterpieces
created by those who felt its meaning
a little more keenly than others. 1t
has been the solace of the unhappy, the
way for rejoicing and the expression
OF triumph in moments OF JOY. 1t
has carried message to the lonely,
the simple and harried ones who
have been less fortunate in the path
of life assigned to them. 1t has been
the salvation of many and the in
spiration of countless others who
would not have found their gift for
music without its aid.
This feast of the Resurrection
which has unified humanity has been
the source from which has sprung
she greatest and most helpful division
OF all the musical literature, the
hymns of the church. What part they
have played in the developement Of
khe world can never be estimated so
Hst, far reaching and subtle is the
Influence they exert. When one glances
back through the ages, at the paucity
of life of the early centuries when
there was little to engage the atten-
ton of the simple people, at the wars
and plaques that tried the souls OF
men and at the hopelessness of the
general scheme of life the hymns Of
the church stand out in holy radi-
ance" as the alleviators of suffering,
the givers Of courage.
1t can be claimed that our country
was founded by the singers Of hymns,
the sturdy Pilgrims who left their
homeland for the wilds of a new
victions. AS the pioneers forged their
way into the wilderness their first care
was to build a meeting house" where
they could gather together and wor-
ship with the aid of song. The sing
ing of hymns fostered neighborliness
and social contacts. The hymn was
the only music known to those early
settlers, and so they became the
corner stone on which was built the
musical life of this country. The
quired through knowledge of the music
of the hymns and an emotional out
let was provided that kept alive the
fires of sentiment.
The texts of the hymns have
taught religion to the masses. for
they are prayers set to music Henry
Ward Beecher speaks of them as
crystalline tears or blossoms of joy,
or holy prayers, or incarnated rap
lures. They are the jewels which the
church has worn, the pearls, the
diamonds and the precious stones
formed into amulets more potent
against sorrow and sadness than the
famous charms of magician" In 1779
William Law wrote: Nothing so
opens heaven or carries your heart
SO near 1t as these songs of praise
there is nothing that so clears a way
for your prayers"
Probably the first known Easter
hymns were the three written by st.

Mr. Robert Hays, Secretary,

Ell Centro, Calf.
Dear Mr.. Hays:
You will recall me as formerly ed
itor of the Southern Californian, y
to which publication you kindly con-
tributed considerable valuable infor-
nation and numerous articles rela-
tive to your particular section of
the state.
am now doing research work for
the visual education section of the
Los Angeles schools and thought
possibly you might have some au-
thentic data along lines desired. Our
method of teaching is by pictures to
which is added fact, material and
descriptive matter as will clearly ex-
plain to the pupil the illustration or
photo.
At present 1 am preparing a SER
les on the subjects of Cattle, Hogs
and Sheep I would like to get au-
thentic data as to the feeding and
fattening of cattle in Imperial VAL
ley, where most of this cattle comes
from, whether shipped in or raised
there, etc. 1 understand that this is
quite an industry in the valley. If
you have any photographs we can
use for reproduction, it would be
particularly appreciated, they would
be returned and credit line given.
Trusting to be favored at yout
earliest convenience, am
Very truly yours,
Ben Arid, Director of Research,

Fl CENTRIC NIGHT LEAGUE To
OPEN SEASON ON APRIL FIRST

Six teams will form the Ell Cen
tro Night Ball league this summer,
according to plans which were
drawn up at an organization meet
ing held at the chamber of COM
merce last night. It was decided at
this meeting that practice for the
teams will start on the Wilson
school field April l, with the regu-
lar schedule getting under way on
April "a.
The split season will be played
again this year, divided into two
halves with two rounds of play in
each half. Winners of each half will
then play off for the championship
of the league at the close of the
season.
Five of the six teams to compete
are the Studebakers, Cramer Bak-
cry, Coca Colas, Maggie Fat Boys
and Golden State teams. The sixth
will, in all probability be sponsored
by either the Associated Oil COM
Imperial Valley press., 1934-03-20

pany or Sherwood's Coffee Shop
this to be determined within the
next few days. The Shirer Drug and
Valley Steam laundry teams which
figured in the league season will
not be in competition this year.
A valuable cup has been donated
by Henry A. Harris, manager of the
English Village Inn to be presented
TO the winner of the city champion
ship each year. The team winning
this trophy the greatest number of
times will retain it permanently.
A discussion was held relative to
the size of the ball to be used in
this years games and while this
question was not definitely settled
at the meeting it appears that the
13-inch ball will be the one used.
The following officers were elect
ed for the league: Sid Swanberger
president: Tom ReamS, vice presi-
dent; Ray Forshey, secretary
surer, and Vernon Steinwinder, Of
ficial scorer.

Gus poney could jump over in five

days ago 1 sat and watched Frank
Bowden eliminate Jean Borotra
from the indoor tennis champion
ships without a trace of emotion.
Yet inside I was all tied up and
saying: Don't let that Bowden
win" 1t was not because I had any
thing against Bowden particularly
although he is bit aloof when he
happens to score a major victory,
but because Borotra happens to be
one of my favorite heroes.
And Id like to have dollar for
every time, during Sharkey fight,

PALMORE ON
LOCAL CARD

Baby Palmore, the rugged Ven
tura Mexican, who upset coast box
ing circles several months ago by
knocking out Speedy Dado, the ac-
knowledged king of the little fell
lows in California, heads this week s
card at the Imperial Valley Athletic
club Friday night.
Palmore will take on Gene Espin-
oSa, Filipino, who has an impressive
record including 26 knockouts.
The bout looks good from every
angle and is bound to be improved
by the fact that the winner is to get
fight later on in the local ring
with Baby Arizmendi. Palmore has
fought the Mexican wonder and fig
ures he can beat him in another
chance. Espinosa has been trying
for a fight with Arizmendi and
hopes a win over Palmore will bring
it to him.
Bobby Leyvas, who took the
house by storm last week when he
got up from the floor to win his
fight, takes on Johnny Cruz in the
six round Semi-final. Leyvas is 60
ing like a house afire right now
and according to the dope will need
all his fire to get across Cruz who
has plenty of what it takes to make
a good fighter.

Fernandez defeated Pelino Garcia

UNION ADDS
TETRAETHYL
TO GASOLINE

Announcement that tetraethyl
lead has been added TO famous 76
gasoline and that motorists in this
arena may now obtain this pro-
duct from all local rs service sta
tions was made here today by E.
F. Smith, Ell Centre district sales
manager, Union Oil company.
Tetraethyl lead, formerly found
only in ethyl gasolines. has been
added to 76 to make the product
more rigidly uniform in its opera
ton under all conditions, Smith
said. Qualities which the addition
of the tetraethyl fluid imparts to
the motor fuel are new smoothness
at all speeds, better mileage than
ever before, elimination of the pos
sibility of vapor lock, a particu-
larly important factor with the ap-
proach of spring and summer
weather, and reduced crankcase di-
luton.

EN- ROUTE AUG u S ia, Ga.
March 20,-As the steam cars reel
off their clickety-clack, I realize
suddenly that the droning sound
has sent an idea drifting into my
head.s
Here I am going down to Augusta
to cover the first annual Masters
Open Invitation golf championship
on the Bobby Jones course. T'herell
likely be more than 70 other of the
country's best golfers playing in
that tourney. Yet, I'm hoping eager
ly that Bobby will win.
Why is that? Not just because he
is the greatest of all golf cham
pions trying comeback; not just
because he's game guy facing tre-
mendous odds, and not just because
it will make great story if he does
win.
Digging beneath all the superla-
tives, etc, I find I'm hoping he'll
win simply because the little Allan
tan always struck me as swell fell
low, in spite of the honors he won.
I can't remember single thing
about Bobby that would make me
dislike him. I think of Jones in all
the spots that I can recall, and the
thoughts taste good. If all his abil-
tiles and glories were wrapped up
in some other human hide, might
be hoping secretly that he would
| lose.

BAER STARTS
IN TRAINING

SACRAMENTO, March 90 U.P)-
Max Baer, heavyweight fighter who
meets Primo Carnera, titleholder, in
Madison Square garden June Ia, be-
gan his official training period to-
day when his manager, Ancil Hoff-
man returned from New York.
Golf, roadwork and setting up ex-
ercises at Hoffman'S ranch, and
gymnasium work in North Sacra-
mento were devised to start him on
the way to physical perfection.
Hoffman said he would take Baer
to Frank Globin's resort at Lake
Tahoe in a few days for two weeks
of hiking, boat rowing and general
conditioning. Then they will go to
Southern California where Max will
acquire a deep sun tan before going
east May and starting six weeks
of intensive training.
The eastern camp probably will be
in the catskill mountains, where
Max Schmenng trained, rather than
in Atlantic City, where Baer train
ed for Schmeling. There are too
many attractions in Atlantic City,
Hoffman said.

FAVOR LASKY
To WIN BOUT

Lee Ramage and Art Lasky reach

reers tonight when they meet in n
scheduled l0-round bout at the

ing their immediate destiny. The

elght Hockouts in nine local fights
Ramage with past triumphs over
Steve Hamas and Ace Hudkins re-
Gently returned to the coast from a
transforming tour of the east where
he notched himself all imposing rec
ord.
A bout with Hamas or Jack Shar-
key appeared the likely reward for
the winner.
Odds before ringtime were 10 to 7
on Lasky to win. There were many
observers, however, who believed the
San Diego boy would earn the de-
cision if the fight travels the full
route. His boxing ability as evi-
denced in his victory over Hamas
has established him a favorite
among such observers. Others were
equally convinced that Lasky would
uncork a Knockout punch some
where in the middle rounds. His
punching was considered superior to
Ramaga's although Lasky's posi-
ton was somewhat weakened by the
presence of eye cuts that have not
yet quite healed.
Ramage will hold a 10 pound
weight advantage over his oppon-
ent.
Specializing on the advance seat
sale, promoters were expecting a
capacity turnout of fans for the
