TENNIS COURTS GIVE
EVIDENCE OF NEED

Surfacing of the high school tennis
court in Ell Centre came as good news to
residents who find exercise and diversion
on the courts, but it brought to mind a
problem which has received far less than
its share of consideration. The need for
playground facilities in Ell Centre is a
pressing one. Scattered about town. are
various places of diversion, but none of
them would come under the classified
ton of a complete recreational park
Even facilities for tennis are few. The
high school courts, the Wilson school
courts-and what more? Busy day and
night, the available courts nevertheless
are not able to accommodate the full
number of persons wishing to use them.
When they are available, the courts are
busy from early morning until far into
the night, and always there is waiting
list for next day. And even at that,
there are greater facilities for tennis than
for any other form of diversion in Ell
Centro
Development of recreational park has
started in the city park on Adams ave-
nue., through agency first of the Civil
Works Administration and later through
the State Emergency Relief Administra-
tion. Plans laid down by civic leaders
contemplated an adequate program of
development Unfortunately, the plans
We're not carried to completion. Had
they been, the need still would have eX-
listed for greater system of play
grounds Ell Centro has been remiss in
providing for healthy recreation for its
VOunper residents
Healthy young minds and bodies de-
mand exercise. If it is not provided in
one form, it will be found in another,
and often the alternative is not the most
desirable one To discharge its duty, to
provide for its own immediate and future
good and to create a pleasant place in
which to live, it is the duty of any COM
munity to care for the needs, even
though they are not the immediate neces-
sites of life, of its younger people. No
community can reach its highest peak
unless it does so.
Ell Centre in this respect has Jagged
behind the other communities of Imper-
ial Valley.
1t should not conti<ue to do so. Let
us have greater recreational parks, more
tennis courts, more Fairgrounds. They
are needed.

The opening lead was the j of

The @ of diamonds was led. East re-

Ace. That play would have avoided
the possibility of finding the suit
twice blocked. A low diamond was
led and declarer'S Ace won, but
dummy could be entered only once
more. The suit could be cleared but
that would have done no good with
out entry to play off the cleared dia-

in establishing the j against him

NEW YORK, Nov. 13-There is
usually an item of interest in that
brave little quarterly edited by An
dire Simon, most famous of the liv-

circle of notable eaters banded to-
gether into what is called The Wine

In current issue, for instance,
this: Simon is writing of the diff

wines. He says that in England there
are signs that claret is slowly COM

enough in the United States to keep
all the vineyards going. Some are
closing
Then he adds Vineyards are be-
ing uprooted which will never pro-
duce claret again. Many famous
chateaux are shuttered and for sale.
Even proud Haut-Brion, the jewel
of the Graves country, has been

PROBATION, PAROLE
AND DEADLY WEAPONS

In England, not even policemen carry
guns In the United States. federal
agents were helpless against organized
crime until they were given the right to
go armed, at first purely for self defense,
but later for aggression against their
armed, ruthless and highly mobile foes,
Until then, it was slaughter. Since then
it has been elimination of highly unde-
sirable element.
This necessity for armed warfare re-
fleets a regrettabe condition in which
death is the only answer 1t is direct
reflection, in part, of the old-time Amer
lean belief that it is every mans right to
carry a gun. With criminals armed to
the teeth, there can be no answerable ar
gument against permitting the peaceful
citizen to go armed, under proper super
vision To disarm the layman who obeys
the law and leave criminals armed because
there is no way to enforce disarmament
on him would be mistake
There is a way out, however. Some
states-New York for instance-have
laws making unlicensed possession of a
small firearm a felony, punishable by a
prison term. Success has been lacking in
enforcement of the law only because pa
role officers too often have allowed weak
kneed sentiment to sway them into al
lowing freedom to a person convicted of
violating the law Probation and parole
have been too easy This is especially
true when it is considered that law en-
forcement officers, knowing their field,
seldom arrest person for such an OF
fense unless there is more than a shadow

criminal element. 1t is very seldom a
man not guilty of some other offense is
hailed into court for possession of a
deadly weapon.
If parole and pardon boards were diff
ferent, it would not be necessary for a
law entirely to prevent possession of an
unlicensed firearm. 1t would be Suffi-
cient for the law to make it a felony, pun
ishable by lengthy prison confinement,
for any person to use gun IN commlS-
sion of any crime-and to make parole
or pardon impossible under the law.
With the avenue to freedom through
parole closed, criminals would exercise
far greater discretion in the use of guns.
If they had to serve the full sentence i'm
posed. without hope of being turned
loose, there would be far less inducement
to use deadly weapon. Those who did

be desperate, and desperate criminals
seldom last long.
Fault for much of Americas crime to-
day rests with parole boards.
They turn known criminals loose, not
once. but repeatedly. Imperial county
has seen examples within the month.
Three youths, two on parole from prison
and one from reformatory, are on trial
here for numbering a peace officer The
history of brutal crime is interviewer
with the history of paroled criminals.
Take away the power of parole in cases
where deadly weapons are involved!
There would be less crime.
