This beautiful spot that is so
Dutch is Curacao, the little island
in the lower West Indies that has
belonged to the Netherlands since
1884 and that today is an important
export center.
Here it was that the famous
Curacao liqueur, made from a pc
culiar variety of orange, originated,
and here it is today where travellers
are reminded of the land of bikes
and canals.
In 1884, the Netherlands issued
special stamp concentrating the

illustration is that of Willemstad,
the chief city, built very much like
any city in Holland.

idea Of building a great dam at
Boulder Canyon, and the Allan
erican canal, ana with logged de-
termination and incompatible
courage they have brought about
the final consummation Of their
dream
After the dedication ceremonies,
our party returned to Imperial
county by way of Searchlight and
Needles, and on the way we stop
ped at the Parker dam where the
Metropolitan Water District is now
constructing its diversion works
and acqueduct to carry water from
the Colorado river to the cities of
this district in and near Los Ange-
les.
Here again we were impressed
with the energy, efficiency and Wis
sion of the American people. This
great project is being financed and
constructed entirely by a public
agency, the Metropolitan Water
District, at a cost of two hunded
million dollars, and it would be
worth while for every person in
Imperial county who can do SO, TO
drive to Parker dam and see this

dam have been constructed with
only engineers. Sixty-five hundred
men were employed IN building this
gigantic structure Ninety eight
gave their lives during the course
of the construction. These men are
just as truly heroes as men who
died on the field of battle and this
project will stand as an everlast-
ing monument to The courage, in
telligence and determination of the
common everyday man and woman
which make up 95 per cent Of our
population and, as President Roose-
Welt stated in his speech. it Is
proper that this great project, and
the benefits which will be derived
therefrom, shall be forever con-
served to the American people and
should never be allowed TO be ex-
plotted by any person or group of
persons for private gain or profit,
but should be developed to the
greatest extent and to the benefit
of all the people of our country.

field representative of the conven-
ton, will visit the church next Sun
day and will hold a conference
with the membership at 3 D. m.
The executive board of the conven-
tion has approved the project and
authorized financial aid.
The local church will conduct n
drive for funds the week of Nov.
$40 to complete its financial share
in the Improvements. An advisory
board Of local business and civic
leaders has been named to CO.
operate with the churchs building
committee. The personel of this
board will be named in a few days
after maturing plans for their par
ticipation have taken shape 4
The improvements include the
moving OF the present building to a
corner lot at Second and Brighton
and the addition of educational
facilities for the Sunday school and
Young Peoples departments. Equip
ment of modern kitchen and So
cial hall, the installation of peWs
ano an attractive entrance will
complete the project. The entire
building will be succeed and pro-
visions for a beautiful lawn and
adult recreation center are contem-
plated. The improvement, includ-
ing the lots which have already
been purchased, will cost approx
mately $4,000, which the church
plans to underwrite fully before
actual building begins. The archi-
tect will have final plans and speci
fications ready october Is.
The building committee consists
of Prof. w. A. Payne; Eugene Perue
and DR.. J. L. CASTOR, the pastor.
The pastor said: I'VE have thor
oughly surveyed the needs Of the
Eastside community and at a great
sacrifice to ourselves, are determined
to meet the need for Christian
education for youths and adults. We
have not sought funds of the gen.
eral Dllblic to carry on DIR actiVi-
ties during the four years of my
pastorate and feel that those per-
sons familiar with our efforts will
be generous in supporting our pro-
jeet. Therefore, we intend to make
only one appeal for funds. We are
grateful that some of the foremost
west side citizens have accepted
places on our advisory board and
if we can have a rather general
response to cur joint appeal, we
shall be successful

DISTRICT ATTORNEY IMPRESSED
WITH BOULDER DAM DEDICATION

Elmer Heald district attorney, in
the following letter to The Press,
has given his impression Of the
dedication OF Boulder dam on Mon
day by President Roosevelt.
In view of the agitation in many
quarters to name the dam after
former President Hoover, the dis
trict attorneys postscript to his
letter is particularly significant,
inasmuch as he is a cousin of the
former President:
October O. 1885
Editor, Imperial Valley Press,
Ell Centre, Calf.
Dear Sir:
In view of the fact that l have
just returned from my trip to the
dedication of the Boulder dam and
in view of the Importance of this
project to the people of Imperial
county, 1 am taking the liberty of
setting forth in this letter seue
of my impressions relative to the
dedication of this great engineer
ing project.
The party consisted of Ira Aten,
director of the Imperial Irrigation
District; Walter Goodson, secretary
of the Imperial Irrigation District
and Mrs. Goodson; William Young,
director of the Imperial Irrigation
District and Harry Maddux, bust
ness manager and myself. We left
Ell Centro Saturday noon, and ar
rived in Las Vegas, Nevada at u
O'Clock on the following day The
dedication ceremonies took place
at IL o'clock on Monday, Septem-
ber 80.
The first impressions one has in
viewing this gigantic project are
similar to the impressions which
a person experiences the first time
he views the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. The immense size of this
structure overWhelms the human
imagination, Many facts and fig
ures have been given as to the
size OF the project which have been
printed in periodicals and news
papers throughout the country
Imperial Valley press., 1935-10-03

These figures are so gigantic that
it is hard to visualize their full eX-
tent. Suffice it to say that more
material went into the construction
OF the Boulder dam than all of the
other storage dams constructed by
the United States government COM
bined. and there is no structure of
any kind in the world today which
IN any way equals the size of this
man-made project
Ceremonies Impressive
Already, there is impounded back
OF the dam, a lake some so miles
long and 10 miles wide, and one OF
the most interesting features of
the trip to the dam is to take
the boat ride on this lake. The
colored rock formations and the
rugged mountain scenery reflected
in the blue water of the lake forms
never to be forgotten picture.
The ceremonies were very impress
sive and carried out with the prop
er dignity and formality commens-
urate with the occasion. The gov
ernors of California, Utah, Nevada,
New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming
and Colorado were all present, and
the various speakers were intro
duced by Senator Key Pitman Of
Nevada. The President and other
speakers gave high tribute to Sen
ator Hiram johnson and former
Congressman Phil Swing, for the
untiring and unceasing efforts and
unSelfish devotion of these two men
in bringing about the final con-
summation of this immense prof.
ect.
I believe that it would have been
proper and would have added much
to the significance of the dedica-
ton, if more prominent part had
been given to the pioneers and
farmers of Imperial county and to
the actual workmen who did the
work on the dam. Without the
combined efforts of these unsung
heroes, the dam would not have
been completed AS Napoleon once
said You can't win battle with
generals" neither could the Boulder

ing pointed out to the sale Of fun
