bOREG0 PARK
BILL REPORTED

Information received here today
states that the public lands COM
mittee in the house Of representa-
tives reported favorably a bill in
troduced by Representative Burn
ham of San Diego to permit ex-
change of public land for private
lands within the Borego State Park.
This bill makes possible more COM
pact areas within the park and the
exchange of private holdings within
the park boundaries for public lands
located outside, thus making a
compact park area.
The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce has just completed and for
, Warded to Congressman Burnham
and Senators johnson and McAdoo
draft Of a bill for the creation OF
the Greater ANA state park. This
J bill seeks to place in the state park
system land within the Vallecitos
valley area, The VallecitOs area,
combined with Cuyamaca state park
and Borego state park would then
form the Greater ANA state park,
later to be augmented by additional
land bringing the park boundaries
easterly to the Salton Sea and for
ming a state park totaling almost
100000 acres in extent and offer
ing some OF Tile finest desert seem
cry in the west.
Ell Centro Chamber directors as.
sert that with the establishment
of the Greater Anza state park
tourist travel into and through I'M
perial Valley will be increased 10
fold. Imperial Valley would be the
eastern gateway o. the ANA Park
and would form one of the most i'm
portant entrances. The community
surrounding the park would do
much to publicize its attractions,
and the state would issue booklets
and folders descriptive of its beau
ty, all of which would result in
greatly increased travel.
Members of the park commission
are heartily in accord with the
Greater ANA Park project and the
measure drafted by the FL Centre
Chamber of Commerce has been
prepared at the request of Newton
3. Drury, acquisition officer, who
has promised to write directly to
Congressman Burnham and Sem
ator Johnson and urge its passage.

MAY ORGANIZE
GUARD UNITS
FOR VALLEY

Plans for formation of nation
al guard units in Imperial Valley
were outlined today by Charles P
Delp, commander of Boyce Ater
Post, American Legion, and cap
tain in the army reserve in the fol-
lowing statement:
"Under the national defense act
the state of California is entitled
to 10000 troops as a part of the
national guard component. With
only $500 troops allocated to Cali
fornia, congressional bill request
ing additional appropriations for
this state is being prepared and all
service clubs and civic organiza-
tions of Imperial Valley are making
a concerted effort to secure an al
lotment for a battalion of infantry
for Imperial Valley Resolutions
supporting this movement have
been endorsed by them and for
warded to Sacramento and Wash
ington.
"National guard units are cheap
insurance in the cause of national
defense and are a valuable aid to
law enforcement agencies, in case
of local emergencies. The national
guard of this state costs the tax
payer only five and one-half cents
per capita per year, which IS less
than the tax on two gallons
of gasoline.
"Under the plan outlined for a
battalion of infantry, one rifle
company and one machine gun COM
pany would. be allotted to the Braw-
ley area; one rifle company and a
headquarters company to the Ell
Centre area and one rifle company
to the Calexico area. In addition
to the training afforded. the youth
of these communities, The money
expended in state and federal funds
is a distinct asset to tire various
sources of trade. A company of
national guard infantry means a
payroll of approximately 5000 a
week to the community in which it
is situated.
"Citizen petitions and a list of
men of military age, to sign, can
be found at the following places:
chamber of commerce, Ell Centro;
Captain C. P. Delp. 562 s'andalWood
Drive, Ell Centre; chamber of COM
merce Brawley; Captain S. G.. Lef-
ner, Brawley; chamber of commerce,
Calexico; Lit. W. d. DresSor, Holt
Vile; and D. v. Stewart, Imperial.
When petitions have been completed
they will be forwarded to Sacra-
mento for action.'

GROWERS
IN FAVOR Of
ASSOCIATION

Formation of flax growers CO.
operative association was favored at
yesterdays meeting of 80 valley flax
growers called by the extension SER
vice. F. r. Wilcox, extension spe-
cialist in marketing, and L. B.
Smith, assistant state leader of
farm advisors, were present.
A committee was appointed TO
draft an organization set-up to pre-
sent to the growers at a future
meeting, probably in three weeks.
Members of this committee are Err
nest Edwards and C. F.. Kamm of
Holtville, Morton K. Shields of
Westmorland, Fred Gunterman of
CaleXico and j. D, Adams of Ell
Centre.
Wilcox discussed the various ways
in which a cooperative might oper-
ate and the different types of or
ganization Set-ups which might be
utilized.
c. G.. Halliday, deputy district at
torney, presented set of suggest
ed bylaws for the proposed cooper
ative, modelled somewhat on those
in force for the hay growers asso-
citation.
1t was decided that for this year
at least, the association would not
take the form of cooperative mar
keting group where title of the seed
is transferred from the grower to
organization, at the time of deliv-
cry.
1t was decided, however, that the
cooperative should afford an oppor-
tunity for collective bargaining, in
harvesting purchasing sacks, re-
cleaning, Warehousing, etc. In all
probability the organization adopt
ed will provide for both individual
sales and sales through the asso-
citation.

"A fashion if started is a de-
mon or a god let loose" The one
about the ornaments for the hair
is turning out to be a demon with
fire in his eyes. Some of the worst
old crow faces are attracting at
tention to their wrinkles by fairly
peppering the hair with rhinestone

whereabouts of the ears and tenn

tiaras, befitting only college girls,
at cockeyed angles in hair which

first martini.
Now how about wearing these
unasked for Christmas contribu-
tions only if suitable for your par
ticular type of looks? You re-
member the style between 300 and
1000 A. D. when women began
plastering their long hair braids
with pearls and beads, reaching the
hem of the dress? Maybe you'll
try that next. Or maybe you'll
gild your locks as ladies die
throughout the Roman Empire, and
wear Psyche knot. The jeWeled
gold bands which held their hair
incidentally, were lovely.

Sunday morning through the Winter
regardless Of conditions. Each Sunday
they gather for breakfast at Chevy
Chase, all IA of 'em. and then, rain or
snow, wind or not, they repair to the
first tee where they play golf; that is,
some of 'em do.
When a man joins the Course
stormers he subjects himself to their
rules, which means that If he skips a
Sunday without proper excuse he
opens himself up to penalty, and If
he skips couple of Sundays the
penalty is plenty severe. So these
hardy birds, somewhat analogous to
the oily Boids" at Rock Greek Park,
play golf each Sunday throughout the
Winter and at the end Of the season,
along in early May. they have din
ner at the club, at which they cele-
brate their Winter deeds.
Rough Time in Store.
"But if the present Winter continues
as it has started they are in for a
rough time. They had a rough time
last Winter, when the thermometer
popped down below zero at times, but
it didn't stop their appearance, even
though they didn't go very far on the
golf course.
Equipped with red golf balls, all
bundled up in sweaters, wind-break-
ers and mufflers. these hardy fellows
stood off pneumonia through the
worst Winter Washington has had in
many years. They should be able to
get away with it again this year. One
of their most enthusiastic members,
Col. Maurice Fitzmaurice Day, has
been called away, but the understand
ing is he will be back shortly. Mean

would not permit any common. people
in there, who usually sat on the
ground, and lined the stage all round.
1t was then all clear and Whitaker
had nothing to stop him but the
ground. AS he fell, there arose a
general clamor and foreign huzza from
the side of the Venetian pronouncing
the Englishman's downfall.
"Whittacker took no more time than
was necessary to get up again, when,
finding his fault in standing out to
the length of the other'es arm, he,
with a little Stoop, ran boldly in be-
yond the heavy mallet and with one
English peg in the stomach-quite
new thing for the foreigner-threw
him down upon his backside. The
Venetian got up again and after
scrambling with him about the stage
for few minutes gave out"
Figg, who had won considerable
money on the match, was jubilant.
He boasted that his man Whittacker
was very ordinary sort of English
fighter, that he had disdained to
honor foreigner with even Sec
ond-rater among his countrymen. He
would bring around man who would
finish Whittacker in 10 minutes.
Nat Peartree, the candidate Figg
put forward to make good his boast,
did even better. He closed both of
Whittackers eyes in six minutes, end
ing the fight.

was fought a few years later be-
tween Thomas johnson and a Lon
doner named Perrins. Johnson was

He specialized in trying to blind his
opponent. Says the Sporting Maga-
zine:
He desists long time in a bat
tie from acting extensively that he
may be more Intimately acquainted
with his enemy's manner and fatigue

placed square and his arms held in
almost semi-circle directly before
his head. His movement is very
judicious and he never retreats, but
dances around his man with a ra-
pidity which generally confuses him.
He gives the return quicker than any
other pugilist. He has confounded
many by placing his open hand i'm
mediately before the fact of his an
