4 COMMUNITY TREAT

Imperial Valleys music teachers are
to be congratulated and thanked for af-
fording the people of this community
such musical treat as was presented
here last night with Nelson Eddy, famous
baritone, being heard in splendid con-
cert.
That the efforts of the teachers are
appreciated, was attestad by the fine
audience that attended the concert. In
the past similar affairs have frequently
approached the disgraceful mark in the
scanty numbers of the audience.
We. believe there are enough music
loving persons in Imperial Valley to
support the occasional visits of such ar
lists as Mr.. Eddy and that it is largely
a matter of educating them to attend.
It is not always possible for all who
would like to attend to do SO. We cram
so many activities into the fall and win
ter months here that one frequently feels
there are not enough days and nights to
take care of them all.
The music teachers should feel great
~ encouraged by the support given them
last night, and be optimistic regarding
the future concerts which they will pre-
sent this season.
If last nights concert was an indica-
ton of the calibre of future events then
Imperial Valley should look forward to
them with considerable anticipation, and
should support them even more gener-
ously than was done last night.
Mr. Eddy is a splendid artist and no
less so is his accompanist, Mr.. PaXson.
They gave Imperial Valley, at moder
ate price, a concert for which a much
higher price is charged elsewhere. They,
and their manager, L. E. Behymer show
ed their willingness to come here at an
unusually low figure, not that they
needed the engagement, but, as true ar
fists, to lend their support and encour-
agement to the music teachers in their
efforts to give Imperial Valley worth
while music.
Those who do appreciate good music
should make it point to have the next
concert in mind far enough in advance
to be certain they attend it.

THIS IS BOOK WEEK

This week is being observed as Nation
al Book Week, dedicated to fostering a
greater interest in books, and it goes
without saying that good books are
meant.
Our modern life hits such fast pace
and is so radically different from the
days of old. that it would seem we have
little time for reading. However, library
reports and book sales reports show
constantly increasing demand for books.
Reading is by no means. confined to
light fiction and sensational magazines.
Works on history, travel. biography, sci
ence and arts are in big demand and
there are frequent calls for the works
of the authors of yesterday, whose books
have established themselves almost as
standard reading matter
For those who enjoy reading there are
few greater pleasures. An interesting
book offers much in the way of reaXa-
ton, entertainment and education and
time passed in this way, though posi-
oily considered as leisure time, is GER
tainly time we'll spent.
We are fortunate in having excellent
library facilities available to us here
The standard works and the newest best
sellers are at hand for those who wish
them.
National Book Week is q time for those
who have been neglectirg their reading
to get in stride again. A good book is
like good friend-that which it gives US
remains with US forever.

COWBOY BANDIT
 HAS BEEN SHOT
Aubrey MacFarlane Was Wounded By Policeman
 After HOld=up

Somerville, Mass, October 30 = (UP) A 22,year-old bride groom of three months, described by police as Somerville's long, sought cowboy bandit" lay near death at a hospital here today after a spectacular running gun duel with patrolmen.
 The victim was identified as Au- brey MacFarlane of Boston, blamed by authorities for more than a dozen recent store holdups in this city in which hired taxi-cabs were used for escapes.
 MacFarlane was shot in the chest late last night while fleeing from Roberts pharmacy on Elm street, where he had held up the proprietor and four customers and obtained s11.6o. Before leaving he remarked:
 Well, I guess the depression got us all. I thought I'd get more."
 As a precaution against hold ups. Patrolman Peter Moore had been assigned to the rear of the store. He gave chase. Meanwhile the cabby who had driven Mac Farlane to the store had become suspicious and telephoned police.
 MacFarlane fired three ineffec- tive shot at Moore and the Patrol man returned the fire, but his four bullets also went wild. Sud- denly the fugitive was confronted by a police cruiser car. He aimed at the occupants but before he could fire he was shot in the chest by Inspector Allan s. Burns.

 There was no haggling over prices. To each customer, Freeman made an offer. It could be taken or refused. Constantly arriving cables from London changed the prices; telephone calls to the suite set high hopes for some ticket holders; dis appointed others.
 That's the top price now" Free man said into the telephone to one caller. "I don't remember what l offered yesterday and don't care"
 It was believed that Freeman's transactions would total $500,O0O by nightfall.

CALIFORNIA IS
 AROUSED ABOUT
 FLIGHT OF PLANE
Australian Flyer Wants to
 Land at Los Angeles on Next Trip

Honolulu, T. H.. Oct 30-(U.P) Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, flyer, to-day was in the middle of a hot controversy be- tween two California areas seek ing to be the first to see ''The Lady Cross" on completion of. the west-to-east trans-Pacific flight.
 Shortly after arriving here yes- terday, concluding a 3,100-mile flight from the Fiji Islands, the Australian announced he would re- main here for several days await ing more favorable weather and then would take off flor Los An geles.' His decision aroused a storm of protests in the San Fran cisco Bay area, from which he had set out in 1928 in making his east lowest crossing from California to Australia. A civic welcome had ben planned there, cablegrams re- ceived here said. The aviator indi- cated weather conditions probably will make 1t necessary for him to fly to Los Angeles.
 'The weather people tell me there's a bad storm sweeping down from Ai0ska and ff~I head for San Francisco I may bump into it" read one of, the cablegrams sent Californiaward. "It may all depend on how the weather is when I take off," While he and Captain P. G. Taylor. his navigator. were rest ing after the 24-hour, 45 minute unbroken flight from Naselai Beach, far below the Equator, Sir Charles discussed the future of trans-Pacific airplane service. T am glad to see the interest taken in this field but believe that it will take five solid years to develop plane which can carry adequate gasoline and sufficient freight to make the trans-Pacific service pro- fitable."
 His own plane, a Lockheed AL tair monoplane, had 600 gallons of fuel aboard when it left Naselai. When they arrived here there was enough gasoline left for about an- other hour of flying. The flight was uneventful except for on accident. in which the plane stalled and went into spin during a rain- storm.
