PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

Public Schools Week, annually observ-
ed throughout California, has been sched-
uled for next week, at which time the
schools of Ell Centre will participate in
the movement designed to give better
understanding of our modern education
al system
Special programs have been arranged
by the local schools, to which parents of
pupils have been invited. The old Gus
tom of urging as many persons as possi-
bic to visit the schools during Public
Schools Week." has been discarded, as
it accomplished little except disruption
of the orderly routine of the school
work. The definite programs at defin-
lite hours have been substituted
This does not mean that parents or
other interested persons are not welcome
to visit the schools On the contrary such
visits are desirable at any time during
the school year. 1t is merely visits on
wholesale scale which are being discour-
aged.
1t is difficult to understand why there
is such lack of interest in school af-
fairs, the small vote in last weeks local
school election being a glaring example
of this condition.
Schools play such an important part
in family life that the lack of interest
in them is really an indication of lack of
interest in family welfare
The hope of the United States against
Communism, Socialism, Fascism, and all
the other "isms," as we'll as against the
gangster, the racketeer and the profes-
sional criminal, lies in great measure on

said Bobbie to himself. Then, all of
a sudden. the little raccoon boy felt
his paws getting wet Not that he
minded this, but he knew his boat
must be leaking. Surely enough, it
was. Water came rushing in
through many cracks in the box.
Bobbie's boat was sinking Bobbie
didn't want his boat to sink. He
wanted to get it to shore and stop
up the cracks. He might have jump
ed out of his boat and swum back
to shore but he wanted to save his
boat. So he cried:
"Help Helpl Help I'm sinkingl"
He hoped Lulu, Alice or Jimmie
Wibblewobble, one of the ducks,
might hear him and swim out to
help him. But no ducks were on the
pond then. Deeper and deeper sank
Bobbie's boat. Just then, all of
sudden, along came hopping Uncle
Wiggily. The rabbit gentleman
heard Bobbie's cries. Uncle Wiggliy
had a new clothes line he had just
bought for Nurse Jane.
Catch hold of the end, Bobbie"
cried Mr.. Longears, throwing the
rope to the little raccoon boy in the
boat. "I'll pull you to
shore!" And that's just what Mr..
Longears did. So he saved Bobbie
and the boat. And if you will stop
the clock from playing in the coal
bin and getting its hand black, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and Sammie's shooter.

El Centre has already bid for the 1886

prepared to put up a hard fight for the
honor 1t is assured the cooperation and
support of San Diego and Yuma and has
also been given indirect pledges from
other communities along the Broadway.
Also, Leo Hetzel, of this city, first

Any attempt to shunt off El Centre

Bay Meadows
Racing Today

SAN MATEO, Calf, April 4.
W.R)-William P. Kyne, general
manager of the Bay Meadows
racing track, said the plant would
operate as usual today regardless
of weather conditions Or other cir
cumstances.
Kyne suddenly called off yester-
days program when track officials
were called to a Sacramento in
quiry and horse owners scratched
their animals from the race pro-
gram because of muddy track.
The cancellation started rumors
that the track was closing down
without finishing its spring meet
ing, which ends April 13. Kyne de-
MED these reports by scheduling a
program of eight races for today
with cheaper horses competing and
the top purse $700.

UNCLE wIGGILY AND BoBBIE's
BOAT

Bobbie Ringtail was little boy
raccoon. The reason he was named
Ringtail was because he had rings
of fur on his tail. Bobbie was all
covered with fur, just as Uncle Wig
gily was, but Uncle Wiggily didn't
have any rings on his tail. There
wouldn't have been room for them
as the rabbit gentleman had very
short tail. However. he had long
ears, so they made up for his little
tail
One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping around looking for an ad-
venture he reached the shore of the
Duck Pond near the place where
the Ringtail family of raccoons had
their home in tall pine tree. On
the shore of the pond, near the
water, Uncle Wiggily saw Bobbie,
whom he knew very well. Bobbie
went to the same Lady Mouse
Teacher in the Hollow Tree School
Imperial Valley press., 1935-04-04
Down the Stream he fIoated

as did Bauy Dunty and all the
other rabbit children.
Hello, Bobbiel" Uncle Wiggily
called to the little raccoon boy.
"Oh, hello. Uncle Wiggily!" Bob
bic answered.
What are you going to do?" ask
eel Mr.. Longears.
Washed Bread and Butter
Il am going to do two things
said Bobbie, who had learned to
speak very politely and correctly in
the Hollow Tree School.
What two things are you going
to do?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
II am going to wash my slice OF
bread and butter in the water" said
Bobbie, land then I am going to
sail my boat"
"That ought to be fun," said
Uncle Wiggily. Il hope you have a
lot of fun, Bobbie."
Thank you," said the raccoon
boy, as the bunny gentleman hop
ped on to look for an adventure.
1t didn't surprise Uncle Wiggily at
all to hear Bobbie say he was going
to wash his slice of bread and but
ter in the Duck Pond. The rabbit
gentleman knew that all raccoons
wash most of their food before they
eat it. Raccoons are very clean lit
tie animals. If you were to give a
raccoon an ear of corn in the Sum-
mer time. clean ear right out of
the husk covering, the raccoon
would look for a puddle of water, a
little brook or a Duck Pond in
which to wash the corn. Raccoons
even wash slices of bread and butter
and that is what Bobbie did.
He sopped and sozzled his bread
in the water until he was sure it
was clean enough for him to eat. AS
matter of fact, it wasn't dirty at
all, for Mrs. Ringtail had given it
to her little boy only a few minutes
before he started to eat it. But rae
coons are that way.
After eating his washed bread and
butter, Bobbie, who was very fond
of water. got into his toy boat
which he had made from an old box
and, with pole, he pushed himself
far out into the Duck Pond.
Boat Starts to Leak

WASHINGTON. April W.p =
When irate householders send
Postmaster General James A. Far
ley critical letters on account of
their mail coming in a day or two
late, the postmaster general might
take note of the technique used by
Admiral Richard E. Byrd.
The admiral, it will be recalled,
vent down to Little America. He
took along some post office equip
ment for the purpose of cancelling
letters forwarded by stamp collec-
tors.
The admiral, the cancelling ma
chimes and the letters reached Lit
tie America all right. The plan
then, was that the letters would be
cancelled and taken out of the
Antarctic by the Byrd supply ship.
They were due to get here just a
year ago.
Something happened, however,
and at the last minute the letters
did not get off. Stamp collectors
were advised the mail would be de-
layed, it was, too. For cool year
the letters were stored down in
some Little America igloo.
Today collectors had their en-
velopes. They were postmarked at
Little America Jan. 81, 1884, and
at San Francisco, March 25, 1895.
But there was no effort to apollo
gize or minimize the delay. Each
letter was rubber stamped:
This letter has been delayed for
one year because O. difficulties in
transportation at Little America,
Antarctica"
Next Monday the civilian conser-
vation corps will celebrate its sec
end birthday. A good many hun
dred thousand youths have been run
through the CCC mill since the
first recruit signed up and the
corps is figured on something lit
tie special for its birthday.
Whether there will be cakes and
ice cream and two pink candles on
the tables at the hundreds of CCC
camps scattered around the country
hasn't yet been decided.

nodded by the instruction they receive in

1t is well for the adult generation to be

1T BELONGS HERE

1t will be gratifying to millions of AM
orleans to know that there is every like
lihood that the first airplane in which
man flew successfully will eventually re-
turn to the United States where that
flight took place, thanks to the ingenui-
ty and courage of two Americans.
To many others it may come as
great surprise to know that the airplane
in which Orville and Wilbur Wright
startled the world by soaring through
the air reposes in a London museum in
stead of in its native land.'
Originally the plane was presented to
the Smithsonian Institute at Washing
ton. The flying machine built by Pro-
fessor S. P. Langley also reposed there.
Identification tablets on the two ma
chimes inferred that the Langley plane
was the first successful airplane, this
fact causing the Wrights to withdraw
their airplane. Later it was sent to Eng
land.
The Wrights were justified in their ac-
ton, for with all due recognition of Pro-
fessor Langley's contribution to heavier
than-air flight, the Wrights made the
first such successful flight and are en-
titled to full honors for their work
They could not, in justice to themselves,
permit their famous plane to play sec
ond fiddle"
The old combination of wire and cloth,
which puddle jumped over the sand
dunes at Kitty Hawk, N. C. on December
II, 1908, belongs in the United States.
1t would be no more consistent to have
Plymouth Rock or the Declaration of In
dependence reposing in a foreign land.
Negotiations for the return of the old
plane are being conducted by Colonel
Lindbergh, which gives added hope that
it may soon be in its proper place to be
accorded the honor it so we'll deserves.
