CHINESE COURAGE

One day last week a government mail
truck travelling through a midwest city,
was held up by bandits, who kidnapped
the armed driver and the truck, abandon
ing them after they had obtained what
they were after-loot amounting to
around 100000
The truck driver when questioned, said
one of the bandits had wrested his (the
drivers) gun from his hand and over
powered him. 1t isn't nice to question
the bravery of a man but the armed
driver seems to have slipped somewhere
when he permitted man to take his gun
from him. 1t was part of his job to
make that gun do the work for which it
was made.
Contrasting the docility of this driver
is the belligerence of a CaleXico Chinese
grocer, who also faced hold-up manSun-
day morning. The Chinese was unarmed
while the hold-up man had a gun and
knife. He freely used the former as a
club, beating the grocer severely when he
hesitated about handing over his money.
The Chinese, however, did not lose his
courage nor his resourcefulness. He in
formed the hold-up man it would be
necessary to get the keys to the money
drawer While the bandit held him by
one arm the grocer was permitted to reach
for his keys with the other hand. In
stead of coming up with keys the hand
came up with gun which began to talk
Immediately, with the result that the
store promptly had dead bandit for
the authorities to inspect,
Because of the timidity of the old-time
Chinese laundryman, who was always
victimized by crowd of white ruffians,
many Americans credit all Chinese with
being spineless, when the contrary is
true. Give him anything like an even
break and the Chinese is as brave and
courageous as any other man. Mr.. Y.
w. Jeong of CaleXico is proof of that

UNCLE WJGGHY'S LAST
SHOWER

When Uncle Wiggily had finished
his breakfast ir the hollow stump
bungalow one morning the jolly old
rabbit gentleman started to hop out
and look for an adventure.
Haven't you forgotten some
thing. my dear?" asked his rabbit
lady wife with a smile.
"'Oh, yes, my DEAR he answer

her good-by.
"That was very nice of you.

actly mean that, though it was
thoughtful of you TO remember TO

we have been married. But what
I meant was that you were forget

SO saying and twinkling his pink
nose upside down, Uncle Wigglly
hoped away over the fields and
through the woods without his
trusty umbrella. He had not gone
very far before he heard a num-
bling, bumbling noise, At first he
thought it was an automobile roll
ing over a bridge.
But soon he knew it was the
sound Of thunder.
Then Uncle Wiggily saw some
flashing light in the sky and ne
knew that was lightning However
he wasn't at all afraid.
Il think, after all, it IS going tc

TO TEACH CITIZENSHIP

Citizenship is to be stressed as one of
the major phases of Imperial Valley S
school program next year and for the
remainder of the present year, it was
stated at meeting of county school
principals held here last week
Comment on the matter is timely in
view OF the bills now before the legisla-
ture at Sacramento seeking to guard
against and curb subversive activities in
the schools of the state.
The announcement that citizenship
program Is to be stressed may be some
what misleading to some citizens for it
Is not something new in our schools.
Citizenship has always been given con-
siderable attention by schools in the val
ley, and the youngsters have received
practical instruction in good govern
ment.
my Place in a Democratic Govern
ment, is the title under which citizen
ship studies will be conducted. Anyone
who gives thought to the matter will
agree that this is equally as important,
if not more so, than knowing how to con-
jugate verb, bound Afghanistan, or give
the date of the Battle of Hastings These
latter accomplishments are important to
a degree but many of our best citizens
would be found wanting if their ability
was to be judged on that score
If the citizenship program succeeds in
giving the youngsters better knowledge
of the practical and theoretical phases
of the government under which they live
and arouses in them a keen interest in
their individual places in the success of
that government, we venture the opin-
ion that the government and its future
citizens will be the better for it.
One of the reasons for the present
chaotic state of American political af-
fairs is the complete Indifference with
which several generations of Americans
paid to political matters, being content
to let them be conducted entirely by the
professional politician.
The county school authorities are to be
congratulated on their decision to stress
citizenship and we wish it were possible
to enroll great many of our adult resi-
dents in the course.
