SERVICE CLUBS SERVE
AN. IMPORTANT PURPOSE.

+. SerDice clubs hare made an important
position for themselves in the social,
economic, and business scheme of the
nation. They deserve eUeryone's com
nenddtiOH.
Far too seldom do the service clubs
receive the full credit to which they are
.cntitled for exerting beneficial lnflu-
ences upon community welfare.
: Through recent years, the service
club has become an essential of business
and community life. 1t softens the eff
feet of the profit system" smooths the
rough edges of rugged individual
ISM and mellows the operation Of ma
lures law of survival of the fittest.
The aims and purpose of service
clubs cover wide range, but irrespective
of the name by which each is known.
their chief foundation stone is service,
a lay word connoting the meaning Of the
golden rule and the sermon on the
mount By carrying out the ideal Of
service. members realize that they do not
live by bread alone, and that the best
Imperial Valley press., 1936-04-03

success cannot be achieved through
mere Self-cOnsideratiOn
Service clubs bring together business
competitors, recognize no racial creedal
or political antagonism. They preach
Americanism and demonstrate demo-
cracy. They support worthy public
causes and represent the builders and
makers of communities. They act as
unofficial juries in matters of public
concern and condone only what is consd-
cred best tor the community of which
they are part.
Their activities include giving assist
ance to many individuals and causes in
a manner usually untouted and always
calling for unselfish service by members
and officers They fill the gap between
the public and strictly charity organiza-
tiOns.
Between themselves there is no COM
petition, and within themselves is no
air or attitude of ariStocracy. Though
organizations of men as men and not as
officials of business, they often, on oc-
casion, rise to exert decisive influence in
matters involving the community.
Service clubs, in their capacity as the
human side of commerce and industry,
are as important to our social plan as
the mortar binding together brick and
stone in the walls of modern day life.
They fill great need and deserve
the highest cOmmendatiOn.

JdbS Irk Administration Where II
LiUeS . Vdndenberg is The
Thorn Rebels Rally.

WASHINGTON-The Roosevelt administra-
ton. which loves itself for the enemies it has
made and counts every attack from the Liberty
League and Wall Street as much velvet, now
finds itself more than annoyed by series of
jabs right in Washington.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan
has taken over the function of a minority party
in Congress, which other Republicans there have
seemed unwilling or unable to assume-the func-
ton OF opposition.
For the first time. the Senate has rebelled
under the leadership of Republican against the
adminiStration-which was what it did when
Vandenberg persuaded it to stop funds for the
Florida ship canal and three lesser projects.
Thanks to Vanuenoerg. the Passamaquoddy prof.
ect in Maine is being similarly treated
on top of that, Vandenberg becomes even
more embarrassing to the New Deal by his prom
ise to expose huge AAA benefit payments to
large corporations. He also has been among
those foremost in demanding investigation of
WPA.
BY such assaults Vandenberg is building
himself up as an outStandingly available candi-
date for the Republican presidential nomination
If by any chance Gov. ALI Landon of Kansas
should not be nominated, it is generally believed
in Washington that Vandenberg would be the
partys choice.
But the senator has made move toward
getting the nomination and there isn't any
ganized effort even in his own state, to nominate
him. The real owdown on the Vandenberg dark
horse candidacy is this
Less than year ago the Michigan senator
acting very much like who would
seek the nomination. But now he suspects that
the COP. nomination won't be worth having
until 1910.
Vandenberg favors the nomination of Sen
ator Borah of Idaho. The Michigan delegation
will 90 uninstructed to the Cleveland convention
but reports that it probably will be pro-
Borah.
Meanwhile, Vandenberg gets under the New
Deal hide because he picks spots where the hide
is thinnest
Such projects as the Florida ship canal and
Passamaquoddy have been under suspicion from
the first as to their SoundneSs. PWA engineers
rejected them Roosevelt okayed them and there
plenty of room for belief that they would
have been approved unless political angles had
been considered.
They were begun in each case with S5 900 900
from the Work-relief fund. Then the admins
tration undertook to unload them on the regular
budget The appropriation asked for the Florida
canal for the next fiscal year was S12000000.

seems to have established himself
as an authority on the modern

to reduce or merely to relax. Staid

General DGUeS, former Uice- president
has forecast heGUg buying by the

prophecy.

More than a year ago, Charles G.
Dawes, banker and former vice-president
forecast that by the middle of 1885 the
light industries would start essential
purchase of raw materials and equip
ment with a resultant upswing in busi-
ness. His prophecy came true exactly
as stated.
More recently General Dawes fore
cast similar big buying by the heavy
basic industries and explained that this
meant continued rapid Improvement in
business for the next two years, by which
time, things should be carrying on in
normal manner.
1t was interesting that Thursday,
Roy Womack, local automobile dealer
who had returned from Detroit where he
attended a special meeting of representa-
tive Chevrolet dealers, reported a record
sales period for his company, and quot
ed as the most outstanding harbinger of
good times, that Chevrolet Motor Com

DC. LANDLORD HELD IN KILLING
Repudiate by Action,
Not by Words,
Mr.. President

TT is appalling that a President of the United
States, as he nears the completion of full
term in his office, should be COMPELLED to
make public dsavowal before the American peo
pie, of any sympathy with communism.
And yet, this is precisely what happened at the
recent Democratic convention in Syracuse.
The four years of Roosevelt's administration
have been marked by transparent encouragement
of left-wing agitators and plotters against our
Government.
There has been an unconcealed solicitation by
his Administration of the support of these un-
American elements.
Alien Communists conspiring against our Gov
eminent have been permitted to carry on their
seditious activities.
These alien interlopers are menace to Amer
lean institutions
Is it conceivable that the President should have
been ignorant of all this?
And yet he is trying to give that impression.
Syracuse, affecting to be stunned by the fact,
IA but in reality by its publication, he for the
first time was moved to declare:
Il have not sought do not seek, l repudiate
the support of any advocate of communism"
Well let him give PROOF of his sincerity.

who rented Childress the little

Childress went to the Second pre-

that was a civil and not police
