Many Virginia Hunting Folk Have Visited
Southern Resorts During Part of Winter
And Bring Healthy Tans Back

I went over to Warrenton last
night 10 a supper party given
by Capt. Richard Kirkpatrick,
acting Master of the Warren
ton Hounds for the last month
In the absence of Amory S. Car
hart, who has been in Jamaica
with Mrs. Carhart. The party
was great and was given for
the CarhartS and Freddie Prince
(who is staying at North Wales
Club and to celebrate the ar
rival Of Dicks son, "Rhoderick
Dhu," who is just a week old.
But last night we all got
together and told Dick he just
couldn't name the child that
and pointed out to him the
reason why. So he said we
could change the name. Many
names were suggested, but we
could come to no decision. With
the crowd that was there I am
sure it will be- a suitable one.
IF not, we will get Dick to
change 1t again.
I suggested it might be wise
to consult Mrs. Kirkpatrick at
the Warrenton Hospital before
we go too deep into the sub
ject Of names.
n Other Guests Present
Among the other guests at
this delightful party were Mr..
and Mrs. Bill Emory, just back
from Palm Beach, where they
have been visiting the Baldwin
SpilmanS; Mrs. Jelke, just back
from the South birmingham,
Alabama, where she visited her
family, the Woodwards); Mr..
and Mrs. George Cutting, who
are renting Dickie Wallach's
house this winter; Mr.. and Mrs.
David Bachelor (Mrs. Batch

Alabama, visiting her mother);
Mr.. and Mrs. John Butler, Mrs.
Jock Whitney, Mrs. Hornblow,
Miss Dorothy Willing Randolph,
Mrs. @. Waggaman Pulver,
daughter Of Mrs. Alex Legare,
Of Washington; Mr.. George
Pulver, Jack Mason, Turner
Wiltshire, Bill Morton and
Hugh Spilman.

All the guests who had been
South were most beautifully
tanned and full of health, max

WORK IS
DISCUSSED At
K|WAN|S CLUB

Operations of the SERA in I'M
perial Valley were discussed yes
terday for the Kiwanis club by
J. B. Porter, field engineer for
the organization.
Porter told Kiwanis that at the
present time there ere 230O people
on the pay roll and that with the
new projects to be developed, there
would, in all probability, be $500
employed by the first of the year.
Speaking as an engineer Porter
said that he was greatly pleased
with the work being done and that
the chief difficulty had been TO
line up enough projects to keep
them busy. Now, however, the city
planning commission has turned
in 60 new projects and there will
be no difficulty in providing work.
Porter stated that some appro-
priation would undoubtedly be left
which may be used on the county's
secondary road system. The valley
being largely an agricultural COM
munity, this should aid it in mar
keting its produce.
Rose Talks
Mark Rose, irrigation district
director spoke On the early history
of Imperial Valley. He told Kiwanis
that the people of today are prone
to pity the pioneers and that he
wished to correct that impression.
In the early days there was no
controversy for the pioneers had
hard job to do and kept them
busy, and the pioneers were hap
pier then than now for they were

SPARTANS- VIKINGS UNABLE TO
SCORE IN LAST NIGHTS GAME

The fortune which rules the deS-
TIMES of football teams gave gol-
den opportunity to both the Central
SpartanS and Holtville Vikings in
their game here last night but with
victory hanging in the balance each
team failed to capitalize on the
chance given and as result the
game ended in a scorelesS tie.
Said Dame Fortune gave both
these opportunities in the final
quarter of the game. A Holtville
tumble, recovered by the Spartans
on the enemy 16 yard line put Cen
trail boys in an excellent position to
score. Two thrustS at the line net
ted five yards. Then pass was in
complete and another heaye went
over the Viking goal to give the
Hoitville players the ball on their
own 20. The quarter was still young
but the Spartans failed again to
get within striking distance of the
Viking goal.
Seeing that the Spartans failed
to cash in on the opportunity given
them, Lady Luck then turned her
smile upon the struggling Vikings.
Near the end of this fourth quarter
the Spartans had the ball on their
own five yard stripe. A long pass
was tried which was intercepted
by Gilliland of the Vikings and tot
ed to the Spartan 9-yard marker.
Here was the long awaited chance
to score. A yard was made through
the line and then the Spartan line
rose up in its might and on a
mighty surge smothered the Viking
runner for loss OF eight yards. A
pass was attempted which fell by
the wayside. Then with one last
chance the Vikings ATTEMPTED a
place kick which was blocked and
with that, scoring chances for both
teams went glimmering.
Last nights game was one Of the
most interesting played on the local
field this season and brought to-
gether two teams which were even
ly matched in almost every depart
ment of play.
Singing out players for their eX-
cellent work last night is very diff
