Mcconnell FaUors
Keeping Politics
Out OF District

A. pledge to- work to. the utmost
for the entire elimination of poll
tics from the affairs of the Imperial
Irrigation district, in order. that the
people of Imperial Valley may de-
rive the greatest benefit from it, was
contained in an announcement
made today by Leslie Mcconnell,
pioneer valley rancher and candi-
date for district director from Dr.
vision No. 2, El Centre, at the dis
trict election on February 6.
"If elected director, pledge my
self to work for the entire elimin-
alton of politics from district af-
fairs" Mcconnell said, "for only in
this way can the district be given
the economical and businesslike ad-
ministration which is as essential
in a public organization as it is in
private one.
"As further means of giving such
an administration to the district,
favor the fullest development and
distribution by the district, Of power
generated from the All-American
canal. I have always been in full
accord with the resolution adopted
two years ago by the board of direc-
tors, to the effect that no disposi-
tion of such power should be made
without first submitting 1.-The matter
to the voters of the district for their
approval.
Furthermore, I believe the force
account operations in connection
with construction, of the canal
should be extended as much as pos
sible and that the entire portion OF
the canal west Of the sand hills
should be built in this manner.
E 81 have been a ranchef in Imper-
'ial Valley for the past q years and
believe I am thoroughly familiar
with the problems which confront
the rancher, in connection with dis
trict affairs and in other valley
matters. If chosen to serve on the
board of directors it shall be my en-
deavor to keep uppermost in mind
the welfare of the ranchers on
whom the valley must depend for
its existence.
IT shall give the fullest attention
to the affairs of Division No. 2, and
shall endeavor to work In harmony
with the other members of the
board for the welfare of the entire
district..{ 4 ,,t
.asEn asking voters of the district
for their support on February 6
do so with the promise that I am
pledged to no party, group or clique
and am desiro,fs solely ofecontribut-
ing the best have to give to the
Imperial Irrigation District an eco
nomical and businesslike, admins
tration. ----- -----'--- ------ .-. .

 We're smaller and we don't tire out, so you will love this race, no doubt" Once more the snowman laughed. Said he, "Just listen how he speaks!"

Blond. brunette or titan, college men

"date" and the intrepid undergradu-
ate engineers of the Massachusetts, In
stitute of Technology can supply de-
tailed information about girls, includ-
ing name, telephone number, height,
weight, whether they smoke or drink,
and a few other facts which may
guide a student in picking a partner

The idea started one night. not long
ago, at the intercollegiate dance of
the Menorah Societies of various COL

ing the dance, many of whom came
from Simmons, wellesley, Radcliffe
and Boston Art School, received a
printed sheet at the entrance to the
dance. Questions asked included
name" "phone," term address," do
you drink" do you smoke" and many
others.
Armed with these data, the tech
students established budding place

The information was codified. first by
height, since the two students con-
Quoting the bureau found that short
young men preferred girls of about
their own height.
The files revealed that brunettes
outnumbered blondes and red-heads.
II also was indicated that IS per cent
admitted they drank liquor. while an
other IS per cent said they did not.
Others Just suited themselves to the
circumstances.
The bureau has been in operation
about one week and a dozen students
at M. I. r. have used the files to find
partners for an evenings fun.
Several amusing angles have popped
to the fore. in the first week Of the
new agency. Already one of the
members of the committee guiding
the destinies of the bureau has dated
