Imperial County
Slated to Aid in
Indians Support

Imperial county taxpayers today
watched with interest the develop
ment Of old age pension payments
to Indians of the FIT. Yuma reser-
vation under the federal Social Sc
curity Act, in which California CO.
operates.
Imperial county, under the act,
must contribute to the support of
between 40 and so aged Indians
on the reservation. The Social Sc
curity Act provides that aged In
dams shall be cared for by the
state and county agencies receiv-
ing federal funds because of partic-
ipation in the social security pro-
gram.
The Indians, the act provides,
shall receive pensions Of $35 a
month, less income deductions.
Pointing out that the Indians pay
no property tax TO the state,
Charles Nice, county INDECENT COM
missioner, planned Tuesday to pro-
pose that the federal government
take over pension payments to all
Indians in western states by amend
ing the Social Security Act.
Senator Henry Ashurst, Arizona,
plans at the next session of con-
greSs to introduce a proposed
amendment freeing western states
from the necessity of paying old
age pensions to the Indians. His
states population is 20 per cent
Indian, a fact which has made Ari-
zona refuse two times to cooperate
in the social security program.

feet. Many visitors gain a birds
eye view of Imperial Valley and
the vast desert which surrounds it
by scaling this famous peak. Fed
eral soldiers, stationed at Ford
Yuma, early in this century about
the time the Colorado desert was
first being developed, used the
peak as a relay station for heliog
raph messages.
For residents and visitors alike
Mount Signal is a familiar land
mark which can be seen from any
point in the valley.
Doubtless more astonishing to the
casual visitor than anything else
are the prehistoric mammal tracks
west at Kane Springs. Here hun
dredS of imprints may be found
in the sandstone, which geologists
declare are masaadon foot prints.
Once a xaterhole, the great pre-
historic animals came here to drink
and left their tracks in the mud
which later became stone. These
mountains even now contain un-
tapped treasures for the student
of geology. Professional and anna
teur fossil hunters find here YER

Imperial Valley offers the visitor
d variety of scenic wonders that
can be found in few places in the
world Even old time residents of
the valley are aStoniShed by the
wealth of scenic beauty. Summer,
winter, spring, each offers new and
inviting interests. Scores of unique
sights await the highway tourist
as he drops down from mountain
ranges to below sea level on the
valley floor.
Perhaps the most famous are the
petrified forests. One is located
near the international boundary,
ten miles southwest of Coyote
Wells. The autoiSt, after following
a meandering desert track which
winds off through beautiful desert
land dotted with purple sage, must
leave his car and become a hiker
to view this world famous phen-
enema. On the edge of Yuha

There he will find a forest turned
