A SUGGESTION

relief for those really needing If.
whether the relief is administered
through the SERA or the county vel
fare department should not be asked to
provide third means of relief-pubic
subscription.
yesterday man who says he has been
a resident of the county for MANY wears.
statement which we are not in posi-
ton TO challenge, offered an advertise
ment to The Press in the form Of pc
tition which he said had been drawn
up for him by the SERA,' asserting
that organization has deemed him un-
able to work and the county has refused
TO assist him. The petition declared the
man would have to seek donations for
support through public subscription and
carried space for the insertion of names
and amounts donated.
This case arose as a result of the bat
tie being waged between the SERA and
the Imperial county board of supervis-
ors, over who is to be considered as. an
unemployable.'"
Certainly appealing To public sub
scrlption to support man who IS en-
titled to relief either by the SERA or the
county welfare department, is not going
to settle the issue. On the contrary, it
will only make a bad matter worse.
Moreover, it is in direct contrast to the
desires of the federal administration,
which since its inception has preached
against public donations and has estab-
lished numerous branches designed to
give relief.
In declining to accept the advertise
ment The Press did so in its belief that
1t Is the duty of a newspaper to protect
the public in the community which it eX-
lists as much as it is to provide it with
news or means of advertising
The people of Imperial county have
chosen the board of supervisors to con-
duct their county government. In the
absence of any attempt to remove the
supervisors by recall or otherwise, it can
only be assumed that the people are sat
isfied with their representatives.
None will deny that there are cases,
similar perhaps to this man who offered
the advertisement, who are suffering be-
cause of the dispute between the SERA
and the supervisors. This is as wrong
as the attempt to solicit relief by popu-
lar subscription.
If the supervisors and the SERA can
not agree upon the status of individual
cases, why not submit them to an impair
tlal Dody, representing the physicians OF
the county, who as taxpayers will be So
licitous of the rights of the taxpayer,
and as physicians will see that no man
not entitled to relief gets it, and none
who is entitled to it is refused?
The physicians readily gave their SER
vices for similar work in wartime and
we believe would be equally willing to
donate part of their time to serve in
peace By rotating service on such
board, it would be possible to prevent too
great burden being imposed on any in
dividual physician. We offer the sug-
gestion as a means of settling the exist
ing controversy.

THESE BLOOMIN' BRITLsHERS

The British menace is getting terrific
and something must be done about it.
A few weeks ago a bunch of British
boxers engaged in tournament with the
best the U. S. A. had to offer, in New
York. Once upon time all the Yankees
had to do was hop over the ropes into the
ring. stretch the Britishers horizontal
and the tournament would be over.
This time the Britishers went contrary
to all the rules. They walked out of the
ring leaving the Yanks behind them
and took the tournament honors with
them as they went.
We hate to touch upon such a sorrow
full matter as Davis cup tennis but it
must be done to illustrate what the Brit
ishers are doing to US.
Four singles and one doubles match
decides the ownership of the Davis cup
which hasn't been in America in such a
long time that we can't describe it.
1t was expected that Mr. Perry, ~. S.
A. tennis public enemy No. l. would
lick the tar out of the best we had to
offer Ga Californian, we say softly) and
he did just that, twisting Mr. Bulge
right into the net and leaving him there
helpless. But Mr.. Allison of Texas, yes
sun, ne was gong to rope and hog-tle
Mr. Bunny Austin The signals got
mixed and Texas got hog-tied something
terrific.
That was that and the Yanks consoled
themselves with thinking what Mr. Alli-
son and Mr.. Bulge were going to do to
Mr. Perry and Mr.. Austin in the doubles
Mr. Perry and Mr.. Austin did the doing
instead and made it three in row for
the Britishers. Today Mr. Austin start
ed off by skinning the hide off of our
Mr.. Bulge and while it was drying ON
the fence Mr.. Perry did the same thing
with Mr. Allison's. That's five straight
defeats, shutout if you please, for the
Yankees. Any tennis fan can. tell how
terrible it is.
Where is the spirit of Bunker Hill,
Yorktown, New Orleans and way sta
ions?
We've centered so much time and en-
ergy raising a crop of crooners radio an
nouncers and saXOphone artists that we
haven't any more Tildens, Dempseys and
guys like them" Mr. Allison and Mr..
Bulge did their best but their best was a
long distance from being good enough.
Our only consolation-thank heaven
for the two Helens.

Ill MAN SAVED
FROM FLAMES

Firemen, a doctor and a priest
Joined forces late yesterday to
save a man trapped in a burning
building. The man, too i'll to be
moved, was given restoratives by
the doctor, while the priest prayed
at his side and firemen played
streams of water about the room.
The man is George Williamson,
80, of the 200 block of D st. N. E.
He has been confined to his room
for eight months and hope of his
recovery has been abandoned by
his family and doctors.
Late yesterday an explosion set
the building ablaze. Father Jo-
seph T. Kennedy, assistant pas
tor of st. Joseph's Church, rush
ed in to aid the helpless man.
He was soon joined by DR.. George
Boynton, of the Casualty Hospital
staff, who declared the man
could not be moved.
Firemen took up their stand at
the bedside, fighting back the
smoke and flames while the doc
tor and Father Kennedy worked
over the sick man. The blaze
was controlled after more than
a half hour of fighting.

1t is further worthy of note that
no nation in the world but the United
States-the United States the land of

Consider the turmoil in which a

finality is given to an act of Congress

States. Destroy that power by legis-
lative act and you will do more to pro-
mote human justice in industrial re-

the Constitution dearly and guards it
well will also defend and support it,

invention and science, and interlocked
necessities of a great and widely scat
