WASHINGTON, May 31.--Feder-
al officials didn't wait for the su-
preme courts NRA decision to get
cold before they started a scram-
bic for the recovery agency's luxur-
ious, conditioned offices.
Without waiting to determine
whether NRA will continue to op-
crate on a modified scale, the
heads of departments housed in
temporary, wartime structures be-
gan scheming for space in the huge
department of commerce where the
blue eagIe was born.
Clay J. Guthridge, whose job is
to try TO satisfy all, is receiving
scores of letters and telephone calls
demanding that he relieve those
faced with the prospect of spend
ing another summer under a tin
roof in a wooden building.
1t appears IS If the shipping
board and one or two other COM
merce department units will get
the call if any part of the present
NRA setup is removed
NRA employees, wondering whe-
ther they'll be working after June
l6 when the recovery act expires,
are conducting daily bull sessions"

she ran off to the woods to gather
flowers after having cleaned only
half of the porch.
This is the end!" said Mrs.
Longears. I'm going to tell her
father"
It think ii will be best" agreed
Nurse Jane.
That afternoon when he came
home from adventuring, Uncle Wig
gily was told Of Jingle's bad habit.
Il must teach her q lesson, teach
her to keep at whatever she starts
to do until she finishes it," said
the rabbit gentleman. Nothing is
worse than leaving a think half
done. I know a little trick to play
on Jingle that will be a lesson TO
her"
Next Gay when Jingle and Jangle,
her twin sister, were drying the
supper dishes before going out to
play, Uncle Wiggily handed each Of
them a large skein or bundle OF
yarn.
Wind the Yarn
when you finish the dishes"
he said to them, please wind this
yarn into nice round balls, so Nurse
Jane can knit it into socks for me-
Wind the yarn from the skeins in
to balls"
"All right, Daddy" said Jingle
and Jangle, just like twins. The
dishes were soon finished, Jingle for
once, doing her part. Then the lit
tie rabbit girls began to wind the
yarn into balls. But when Jingle
had her skein half done she grew
tired and ran out to play. Jangle
kept winding her ball until the
skein was finished. And in the very
last folds of yarn she found a
! bright, shiny dime or 10-cent piece
her father had hidden there"
"On, joy!" cried Jangle, Il got a
prize" and she ran out where jim
gle was playing and showed her the
money, telling where she had found
| it.
"Oh, dearl I wish I'd finished
my skin" said Jingle. Into the
bungalow she quickly hoped and
finished winding her bali Of yarn.
Then she found her own bright,
shiny dime ana she was happy. At
ter that lesson Jingle always lin
lished whatever work she was given
to do and was happy as her sister

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JINGLE'S
LESSON

Jingle Longears was a very nice,
sweet and lovable little rabbit girl
Jingle was one of the cutest of I'm
Gle Wiggily's many rabbit children.
But she had one bad habit and,
try as she would, Mrs. Longears,
her mother, couldn't seem to cure
Jingle.
Neither could Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, the jolly, old muskrat lady
housekeeper. Nurse Jane had tried
in many ways to cure Jingle of her
bad habit but had not succeeded.
AS yet Uncle Wiggily didn't know
about this troublesome part of jim
gle. The old rabbit gentlemen was
away from his hollow stump bum
galow SO much that he hadn't no.
ticed the habit Jingle had fallen
into.
But if it keeps on said Mrs
Longears to Nurse Jane one day, u
must tell Wiggy and see what he
can do"
He ought to teach Jingle a les
son." said Nurse Jane.
Now, the naughty habit Jingle
had was this. She never finished
any of the little tasks or bits oi
work that her mother and Nurse
Jane gave her to do around the
bungalow. There was much work
to do in Uncle Wiggily's bungalow
sweeping, ironing, busting, making
of beds and all that. Mrs. Long
ears and Nurse Jane couldn't do il
all so the girl and boy rabbits
helped.
Work Divided
The boy rabbits did things out,
side and the girl rabbits did things
inside, like helping with the dust
ing or the making of beds. There
were forty 1even sixteen beds II
the bungalow.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Taxpayers and citizens of Ell Centro
should be giving thought to the propos-
ltlon now under consideration by the city
council to obtain new sewer system, a
city hall and a library.
We say this because it is very likely
that the ultimate decision to accomplish
this three-fold project may be placed be-
fore the citizens of the city.
For years past the city'S sewer system
has been in bad condition, with frequent
and costly breaks occurring. The cost
of maintenance is heavy in comparison
with what modern system would re-
quire and there is the safeguarding of
public health to be considered.
1t has always been matter of embar-
rassment to those who have pride in their
home town to realize that city of 10000
persons conducts its business in an ordi-
nary store-room. This embarrassment is
not dictated by any false sense of pride
for the dignity of a city is valuable as
set and there can be nothing dignified
about the present quarters of the city
government. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that in addition to being undesir-
able, the present quarters are inadequate.
The embarrassment concerning lack of
a city hall is counter-balanced by pride
in a library which has surprised visitors
by its excellence, insofar as the complete
ness of its facilities is concerned. 1t may
be safely said that there is not city the
size Of Ell Centre in the country which
has a better library service. But here
again efficiency and service are seriously
handicapped by lack of adequate room:
The present building hardly permits of
expansion. The library problem can best
be solved by entirely new quarters. A
library of adequate size and sufficient
equipment is essential to the large num-
Der of citizens Of this community who
are regular patrons Of it.
The desrability of carrying out this
three-fold project cannot be over-em-
phasized.
The present is the most desirable time
for doing So as the cost will be practical
ly cut in half under the generous terms
of the federal work-relief program. The
President announced last Saturday that
funds for municipal projects can be OBJ
tanned on a basis of 45 per cent outright
gift and 55 per cent as a loan, with in
terest at per cent per annum.
The sewer-city hall-library program is
one that will have to be met some time.
II can be accomplished at a greater saw
inc To the citizens now than at any fu-
ture time. The federal offer will not be
open indefinitely and right now there Is
a rush on the part of municipalities all
over the country to get theirs before
the funds are exhausted. 1t will behoove
El Centre to act quickly if it doesn't
want to find itself in the lurch.
We believe every taxpayer and citizen
should take a keen interest in the pro-
gram, study it, and if satisfied that it IS
one on which the city should enter, give
it their support and encourage others to
do likewise.
