weaker Sex" Prone to
Take Thankless Jobs?

did you see this in the paper
about a woman getting the Job of
mayor of a South American city-a
Job that was too tough for men?
Its about time for recognition of
the fact that there are some things
women can do better than men. Ger
tain peculiarly feminine abilities
qualify women better than men TO
cope with certain types of problems. /"
Comment made by woman writ
er. TO whose attention this incident
was called, is not altogether fiatter-
ing to her sex. She remarks:
at would be nice to be able TO
agree with our reader that the in
terror ministry of Chilli appointed a
woman to be mayor of the town of
Calera because of peculiarly femi-
nine abilities which especially fitted
her for work which men found too
difficult. But ii strikes me as far
more likely that no man wanted
the job.
Judging by the news clipping
which speaks of the various factions
which the mayor must keep ap'
peased, it would seem that being
mayor of Calera is one Of those
thankless jobs. Women are used to
tbankless jobs, and gravitate to then
as the moth TO the flame.
"And it seems that financially
there's very little in the job. Witt

HAYS PLEDGES
SUPPORT IN
ROAD PLANS

Graham Elmore, superintendent
of the Brawley road district, Fri
day received a letter from Manag-
er Robert Hays of the Ell Centre
chamber of Commerce promising
full cooperation in development OF
the Sandy Beach road to Salton Sea
and commencing Elmore upon the
work he has done there.
With Hugh Oakley, superintend-
emit of the Imperial road district,
Elmore has been a moving factor
in construction of the road which
will make Salton Sea and its SWIM
ming, boating and other facilities
easily available to Imperial Valley
residents. The road will be in readi-
ness for the Imperial Valley Mid
Winter Cupboard Regatta Jan. u.
Hays letter, in part, said:
while the Sandy Beach road
project is in no wise an Ell Centre
enterprise but will benefit the en-
tire Imperial Valley, most of all
the Brawley district because of its
proximity, our Board of Directors
felt impelled to commend you for
your interest in this project and
the work which you are doing to
make Sandy Beach accessible to
all the people of Imperial Valley.
Directors of the Chamber face that
as time goes on, the people here
will realize the value of your work
and its Importance to this COM
munity.
Our directors feel that in doing
this work, you are rendering great
and important public service. Sandy
Beach and Salton Sea are destined
to be highly important factors in
the community life here, and the
further development of Salton Sea
will undoubtedly be the means OF
bringing much activity and now
business into Imperial Valley

Best Decorated
Christmas Trees
Will Win Prizes

Mrs. J. S. Jones, chairman of the
Ell Centre chamber of commerce
tree planting committee and city
Identification committee, today
announced the offer of prizes by
her committee for the best decorat-
ed Palo Verde Christmas tree.
THE Palo Verde is Ell Centro's
own tree" said Mrs. Jones, land
it seems very fitting that we also
use this as our own Christmas tree.
Therefore, the tree planting COM
mittee has decided to offer a first
cash prize for S., second of SO
and third of So, and five more
prizes of 81 each TO the best dec
GRATED Palo Verde tree using the
Christmas motif. The tree can
either be lighted or unlighted, but
the lighted trees will probably be
the most effective.
1.-THE trees can be either large
or small and even a one-year old
tree, If attractively shaped and
beautifully decorated may easily
bring the first prize. While at this
season of the year the foliage of
the Palo Verde tree is normally
more scant than during the sum-
mer months, still by careful prun-
ing, many such trees have been

GAS RATES
GIVEN CUT
IN VALLEY

New low gas rates have just
been filed with the California
railroad commission by the Natural
Gas Corporation Of California, ac-
cording to r. l.. Nance, district
manager of the company here.
These reductions will represent
saving of approximately $4,000
a year to consumers in Imperial
Valley, and will become effective
Jan. /. In the new rates the serv-
ice charge is eliminated, with a
minimum charge of 81 for 300 CT.
or less per meter per month.
In commenting on this reduction,
Nance said, I'VE are pleased to be
able to offer the residents of this
community the comfort and conve-
nience of gas service at these new
lev rates. This reduction has been
brought about through the general
acceptance and use of this fuel in
Imperial Valley, and our company
feels that any immediate less OF
revenue will be more than offset
by the added number of local resi-
dents who will now wish TO use
this quick, clean fuel.
Naturally as consumption of gas
increases we will be able to fur
Their decrease the rates for this
service, and we anticipate a de-
cided increase in consumers during
the coming year"
