In 1916 it was william Howard Iaft-not

Walton Hamilton will resign as director of
the Consumers Division to accept the Social
Security appointment. He will be replaced by
Clarence Ayers. chairman OF the economies de-
partment at University OF Texas.
Hamilton is a professor CT law ana economies
at Yale. He was a member OF the National IN
dustrial Recovery board and recently has directed
a notable series of price studies Tor special
cabinet committee.
His aim is to make constructive attack on
insecurity and his job will be to locate weak
spots in the present program and study the prob
lens which it doesn't reach.
He regards the problem of reducing the
volume of unemployment both as imperative
and as falling within the federal security pro-
grams scope of study.
Ayers was associated with Hamilton on the
Amherst College staff.
Thomas jefferson Coolidge resigned as un-
dersecretary of the Treasury not, most reports
said, because of disagreement with Roosevelt

Assistant Secretary Chip" Robert quit after
certain suggestions. Practically all his former
duties had been taken away.
Coolidge's resignation leaves Assistant Sc

BUILDING IS ON
THE UPGRADE

Ell Centre is experiencing a sudden
rapid increase in building permits. These
cover renovating and new construction
of both business and residential struc-
lures. Statistics show that at the begin
ming of the unlamented depression, the
building and correlated trades were the
worst hit. Prior to 1929, construction
averaged from two billion dollars to
three billion dollars annually This drop
ped to only 10 percent or Is percent of
this amount during the depression years.
In the past five " RS, population in
creased while building was at a stand
still. This is the cause for the pronounc-
ed revival which has been taking place
all over the country and which is sweep
ing like a tidal wave throughout other
parts of California. 1t is coming belated-
~ here to Imperial Valley. Those who
are making it possible to finance the
construction of homes and beautify
their business property are aiding them
selves, their community and business as
a whole They are creating many jobs,
thus lessening unemployment and light
ening relief loads. Especially are those
agencies a real asset to the community
who make increased home-OwnerShip
possible. Every family which changes
from renting to homecoming strength
ems the underlying basic value of this
country's patriotism. Such families find
for themselves the real benefits bestow-
ed by the privileges of living in this
country and having pride in being an
important member of American society.

WORKERS ARE RETURNING
TO PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT

The best news of the day is that un-
employment relief in Imperial county Is
on a rapid decline and that much of the
relief load is being taken up by private
employment. The degree of this i'm
provement is astounding and ones reac-
ton is to stand up and cheer. According
to report by J. Kenneth HickoX, head
of the Works Progress administration
projects in the valley, the total case load
of 1896 on relief has been reduced $50
by private employment, and 979 by W.
P. A. projects, thus leaving balance
of only 259 on direct relief. That more
projects are needed to take care of the
unemployed becomes secondary in view
of the indication that the trend back to
private work is so rapid that it reason
ably may be hoped that most of the
slack can be taken up as projects are
completed. That so much of the relief
load has been lightened and that the alb
sorption process is progressing so stead
lily gives promise of slow and steady
improvement in business. The transition
back to normal from relief was one of
the most threatening difficulties which
the country has faced. 1t now appears
that large percentage Of the battle is
already won.

Now a student at Wabash, the
Indiana college of which his faith
er is an alumnus, and expects to
read law as did his parent. He has
shown talent in public speaking
Letters pass between them daily
and there is a weekly long distance
chat over the telephone. During
vacation periods they usually go
on hunting trips CT enjoy a round
of theaterS in New York. Neither
does anything of importance with
out taking it up together.
Such an exchange of confidence
has brought about a rare UNDER
standing in such relationships.
Their handwritingS are SO similar
that few can distinguish them,
and aside from a striking facial
resemblance, the tits of their hats
and their walk bear a similarity.
Young Hays is 90 When in his
teens his frailty became a matter
of concern. He began a systematic
routine of swimming, horseback
riding and ether athletics, includ-
ing boxing, that rounded him into
sturdy health. He has won several
swimming medals

Fascism. Communism, the New Deal

Age of Gold. The world has gone
daft over systems and panaceas.
But surely the system is secondary.
