FORMER COAST
 GUARD CUTTER
 NOW TOWBOA7
Juneau Folks Recall Sno- homish as Safety Factor
 in North Pacific

There's queer feeling in the hearts of some Juneau folks today with the announcement from Se- attle that famous old Coast Guard cutter Snohomish has been ap- proved as commercial tugboat.
 For many year, the Snohomish was a safety by-word in the stormy waters of the North Pacific. Skip pered and manned by a fearless crew, she went anywhere and every where to give aid to disabled ships.
 But the Coast Guard must have modern vessels, so the Snohomish was sold down the river" to a commercial concern.
 However, glory will still be hers, the Seattle announcement indi- cates. The old boat, her sturdy 1892 foot hull as good as ever, still will be used in the business of giving stows to storm ridden and distressed vessels.
 United States Steamboat inspec- tors in Seattle have pronounced her 1,500 horsepower engine as fit and ready to go.
 Her new owners, the Puget Sound Tug and Barge Company, have named Capt. Alex (Buster) Halstead-a veteran Pacific Ocean skipper-as her commander.

SAFETY TESTS
ON THURSDAY

Tomorrow is the big day of The
Press-Shell Drive Safely" auto
mobile test. Judging from the COM
ments heard on every street corner.
every citizen Of Ell Centro who op-
crates an automobile is going to be
on hand to make certain that his
brakes, lights and horn are working
, properly. With automotive acci-
dents killing and manning thou
sands every year, the public is be-
coming aroused as never before and
good citizens everywhere are join
ing in the movement to keep streets
Nand highways safe.
Travel authorities recently esti-
mated that more than half of all
cars in operation were defective in
some way or another, and that mo-
toring safety was greatly leopard
ICED in this way Due to the de-
preston. more old cars have been
in use than ever before and other
cars have not been kept in as good
mechanical condition as they should
have been.
The Press-Shell safety test is de-
signed to show whether a cars
brakes, lights and horn-the three
fundamentals of safe operation
are in good working order. And of
course the test does not apply solely
to "old" cars. Even this years mod
\els may need minor adjustments
after being used on rough roads
That Jar the lights out of focus or
under circumstances which loosen
up the brakes.
Testing will start tomorrow at
2:3O to $50 for brakes and 7:30 to
1890 p. m. for lights. The Shell
crew will be on hand throughout
the afternoon and evening until
every car whose owner wants tests
made has departed.
First in line for testing will be w.

porter of every movement to pro-
mote motoring safety.
Every car tested will receive

Remember the time and place:

Several hundred residents of I'm
perial Valley today had received
a form letter from r. P. Moore,
vice-preSident of the Southern
Sierras Power company, explaining
his firms campaign for rural cleo
trification of the valley through
resources of the private company.
The letter, declaring that the
rural identification program zap
parently has become a political
football" recalled a conference at
Chicago in which Morris l.. Cooke,
now director of the Rural Elec-
trification Administration of the
federal government, outlined plans
for extension of electrical service
to rural areas and expressed a
hope the light and power industry
would cooperate.
Pushed Rural Survey
Shortly after the meeting, the
letter says, employees of the South
ern Sierras company were notified
to go ahead with a rural survey,
which disclosed that the company
has constructed 236 miles of dis
tribution lines in rural areas at
total cost including substations OF
S525.O00 resulting in service to II
per cent of the occupied rural
residences of the valley. This
compares, the letter says, to ma
tional average of 1l.6 per cent.
The company is serving $40 rural
consumers. Under the new plan,
according to Moore, the service
percentage would be brought to
81 instead of 81 per cent.
First stating the question, why
haven't you done long ago what
now propose to do?" Moore's let
ter cites the absence of a demand
for power for pumping, compare

dences, the large percentage oil
