Wired for Sound
Several scowling motorists and
pedestrians received a shock Tues
day afternoon, and their scowls
turned to grins. 1t happened in
front of the post office in Ell Centro.
Somebody apparently was trying to
play a tune on an auto horn, loud
but unmelodious. RR, descending
the post office steps, began to think
up biting phrases for an item pro-
testing the too frequent use of auto
horns. Then RR spotted the car,
q sedan, and rancor vanished.
Crawling over the cars front seat,
pounding away on the horn button,
were two of the cutest youngsters
you'll see in many moon. They
were telling the world" via sound,
with grins a yard wide.
Sorta Homeless
RR has heard of chaps who could
N>n't find their way home after an
Active evening, but it was a distinct
Shock to hear that number OF
Imperial Valley farmers, in the
broad daylight, don't know where
they live. Officials of the federal
agricultural conservation offices dis
covered the fact in checking over
various valley properties. Come to
think of it, perhaps we'd better drop
the whole idea. Even RR may not
know where he lives. That land
lord was most upset last time we
saw him, and that was some time
ago.
Just a Quiet Tip
Secret operative 13 and 402 delved
into the mysteries of the publica-
ton known as "The Turnkey,
which stopped showing up peace
officers during the heat of the sum-
mer, and found something startling.
If California Highway patrolmen
don't get busy they never will be
able to get even with the other de-
partments for some of the knick-
nacks in the October number. They

Commenting on these figures,
Evan T. Hewes, president of the
Imperial Irrigation district made
the following statement:
These figures show clearly that
the Brawley plant is meeting with
increasing favor and are the most
definite refutation of power COM
pany claims that a large number
of our customers are returning to
the company for electric service.
To the district board of directors
which has continuously champ
ioned the cause of the people of
Imperial Valley in their fight
against the private power inter-
eSts, the progress of the Brawley
plant is most gratifying and aug
urs well for the ultimate success of
the general power development and
distribution program which has
been sponsored by the people of

GAVE time and money and get greater
- efficiency by equipping the rear of your
car and truck with pair of Firestone Ground
Grip Tires. They will give you the super
traction needed to pull through mud and
unimproved roads and will save you the time,
trouble and money of applying chains.
Harvey S. Firestone was born and raised
on a farm in Columbiana County, Ohio,
which he has operated ever since 1904. 1t
was here on this farm that Mr.. Firestone
conceived the idea and worked with his tire
engineers in developing practical tire for
farm use. Mr.. Firestone's experience in
farming gave him the realization of the need
for pneumatic tire with Tugs of rubber that
would increase the drawbar pull, roll easier,
save time, and speed up farm operations on
cars, trucks, tractors and all wheeled farm
implements.
Firestone engineers are continually
working with Mr.. Firestone on his farm to
secure greater farm efficiency. They developed
the Ground Grip Tire which is SO designed
that in soft mud roads it cleans itself and the
bars of rubber are so placed that they will not
bump on paved roads. The design Of this tire
is SO unusual and its performance SO amazing
that patent has been granted by the United
States Patent Office covering its exclusive
features. The secret of the extra traction of
Firestone Ground Grip Tires is the
scientifically designed rubber lug of the tread.
Under this extraordinary super>traction tread
are placed two extra layers of Gum,Dipped
cords. Thisisa patented Firestone construction
feature which makes it possible to weld this
heavy tread to the Gum.Dipped cord BODY,
making it one inseparable unit.
Go to your nearest Firestone Tire Dealer
or Implement Dealer or Firestone Auto
Supply and Service Store today and ask to see
these money-saving tires. And when you
order a new tractor or implement, specify
Firestone Ground Grip Tires.

Probably the Writer
Was Too Optimistic

To the Editor of The Times:
The writer would hesitate to
believe that The Times would
lend itself to a situation in which
the people of the District are
grossly deceived, but in printing
the article in a recent issue
headed, "Schrom wins fight on
old fire trucks" The Times con-
tributes to the false suppoSition
that the needs of the department
are being cared for properly.
The sum of $4,000 mentioned
will only buy one piece of appara-
tus, so it would seem that
Schrom'S victory is, at best, a
mere SNOWFALL fight.
Let's call a spade a spade, and
then let's use it to dig out the
facts.
Congress erects a billion dol
lars worth of beautiful public
buildings in Washington and then
expects Schrom to protect them

president of a large motor truck
company manufacturing fire ap-
paratus and has kept his mechar1-
ical interest alive by frequent ex.
animation Of District apparatus
at neighborhood fires.
Do the people of the District
know that some of this junk is
so obsolete that it must depend
on old fashioned fourcylinder
engines for traction and pump
ing; that solid tires and two
wheel brakes are still modern
equipment in our Fire Depart
ment and that our fire laddies
risk their lives and those Of cit
liens every time they respond to
an alarm?
If any citizen tried to operate
a pleasure car as old and incap-
able of, service as some of our
little red fire engines, Van Duzer
would properly have them shot
at sunrise.
The writer hopes that some
Congressman or Senator may have
occasion to wish for better things
some stormy night, when the pa
ternal shack catches fire and the
ancient fire wagon breaks down
on the way.
1t may be that Washington must
suffer a city-wide conflagration
before Congress awakes to the fact
that Chief Schrom knows whereof
he speaks, and gives him some
thing besides a garden hose on
a wheelbarrow to battle it with.
