trate Hungarian had to be carried
from the ring and receive atten-

Ernie Dusek defeated Al Baffert
in one fall, Commute limit match
for the semi-final. 1t was a rough
house affair, somewhat milder than
the Christy-Lopez bout. Dusek won
his fall when he gave Baffert an
airplane spin, holding him by the
ankles and then let him 90 to the
canvas with a thud. Another slam
and Baffert was helpless in the
hands of his opponent and was
pinned to the mat for the decision.
Fireworks Galore
The real show of the evening was
provided in the Christy-Lopez
match which resulted in a fall for
each of the contestants with the
third declared a draw at the close
OF the 30 minute limit. The boys
started right in at each other fol-
lowing the tactics which have made
them so well-known to local fans.
AS each man stepped into the
ring he was greeted with lusty
boos from the fans and it was diff
ficult to determine which of the
two was given the more favorable
reception. This friendly attitude on
the part of the spectators prevailed
throughout the entire match.
Christy won the first fall i'm
minutes. He worked on Lopez with
the usual assortment of eye poking,
punches, choking and other holds
which, apparently had the Mexican
groggy and listless throughout as
he offered no resistance during the
entire first fall in spite of the calls
from his admirers to wake up and
get going
In spite of all this mauling and
terrible punishment to which he
had been subjected in the first fall,
Lopez came out after the rest per-
iod as fresh as a daisy, and gave
ChriSty in overflowing measure
what had been received during the
first fall. Lopez won the second fall
when he knocked Ted cold" and
then pounced on him for the de-
ciSion.
The third period was a lulu with
plenty of action and excitement
and with Referee Bill Tackett TAX
ing prominent part when he, too,
entered into the spirit of the occa-
sion and was bumped to the can
vas while trying to separate the
two warriors.
The boys followed their routine
faithfully and we're still at each
other when the whistle sounded to
end the combat. Here Tackett
found himself in deep trouble. The
boys would not deSist from their
play and it was necessary to call
for help. Tillman Daley, of the
state traffic patrol and Bill Keat-
ing, local police officer, together
with John Contos, matchmaker,
were pressed into service and when
Charlie Ike. announced. jumped
into the ring and lent his assist
ance the men we're escorted out of
the ring only to continue their hos
tilities. AS a result of this latter
demonstration Christy was picked
up and carted off to the county
Jail where he was booked on no
charge at 10:40 and released at
11:55 o'clock.
Kimon Kudo, diminutive Japan
ese exponent of jiu jitsu, again
showed his wares in the prelimin-
airy bout to the satisfaction of all
spectators He was opposed by Rusty
Westcoatt of Hawaii and who was
no match for the wiry Kudo who
took two of the necessary falls with
neatness and despatch.

The only way to lessen the

Now, making it considerably more un-

HOMES, NOT JUST HOUSES

Imperial Valley is building homes.
Not just houses, where someone goes
to eat or sleep because there is no other
place to 60 but homes in which families
may reach the ideal of unity, in which
members of the family are happy in the
company of one another and in which
children may grow to manhood and
womanhood in an environment which
makes of them better men and better
women. For many years the valleys
places of residence especially in rural
areas. have had little that is homelke,
in most instances. They have been
places to stay, little more
Miss Florence Glenn, home demonstra-
tion agent of the University of Califor-
MIA extension service, sees as much as
any other person, perhaps, of Imperial
Valleys farm homes. People are begin
ing to plan them as homes, not as tenn
pOrary abodes, she believes.
The valleys peculiar climate, its for
mer isolation and the pioneering spirit
of its people have accounted in the past
for the lack of homes, as such. 1t is
tribute to the progress of the valley, as
we'll as an indication that the pioneer
ing era is passing, that rural as we'll as
urban residents are building for perman-
ency, comfort and enjoyment More than
all that, it carries definite assurance
that the valley is being moulded into one
great community, motivated by common
needs. For the children even more than
for those who are older, this home build
ing bears promise Of a fruitful future.
Americas children are reared in her
homes. No nation, nor any community,
can be greater than those children, and
the children cannot be greater or better
than the homes from which they come.
1t is a good sign that Imperial Valley
is building homes.
