MAKING ROAD TURNS

The courtesies and customs of
mankind, according to the Della
ware Safety Council, make the
world a more agreeable and a more
civilized place in which to live. The
secret of being a lady or gentle
man is not a facility in remember
ingand observing intricate formal
tiles, but the possession of gen.
uine regard for the feelings and
comfort of other people. This
chivalry has an Immediately prac-
tical effect also for it eases human
whether it is exercis-
ed in such a minor matter as wait
ing in line to buy tickets for a
moving picture or in driving an
automobile on a crowded highway.
In either case the civilized person
is patient and considerate. Con-
slider what folly it would be if
every man who appeared before a
blk Office window to buy a theatre
ticket were to exercise his right"
to have a ticket first without wait
ing in line. In the inevitable strug-
gle, the stronger would overcome
the weaker, and a few would be
able to enjoy the entertainment
they came to find. The parallel on
the highway would be much the
same except that such conduct
would certainly leave red trail of
death and destruction appalling to
imagine. The good driver is es-
sentially a gentleman, appreciative
of the necessity for establishing
and respecting ''codes of the road" J"
KEEP TO THE RIGHT-Easily
the most important of these codes
in the United States is the law
which compels all cars to keep to
the right on two-day roads. The
reason is obvious, for if two cars
approaching each other from op-
posite directions did not automatic
ally move to the right, what would
they do? Would each driver stop
and call out to the other what his
intentions were? Would one car
veer to the right, the other to the
left in ar inevitable head-on COLI
sion? In spite of the simplicity
and evident good sense underlying
the keep-to-the-right rule, thous-
ands of drivers, most of them OF
them of the species road hog"
violate it day in and day out
Needless to say. they cause acci-
dents.
PASS TO THE LEFT-Another
fundamental and universally un-
derstood code for good driving gov
erns overtaking and passing other
cars. The driver of the faster cal
on overtaking a slower one, blows
his horn and then. when sufficient
passing space is given, passes tc
the left. The driver of the slower
car, on hearing the signal, moves
to the right, in order to give as
much room as possible for a safe
passing maneuver. In most places
it is Illegal to pass a car in any
lother manner.

TWO CONFESS
TAKING PART
IN BIG HOLDUP
Need of Medical
Attention Leads
To Capture

ClimaXing an intensive
manhunt which has contin-
ued since December %, when
T. Sugimoto, japanese ranch
foreman was robbed of a
$3.50 payroll and shot in the
arm by group OF Filipinos, An
Selma Cabaybag and Arturo Anti
porda confessed Sunday to Deputy
Sheriff Frank P. McCaslin that
they took part in the robbery.
One of the members of the hold
up gang, Primitovo Cabuena, is
dead of gunshCt wound received
in the robbery. The necessity of
obtaining hospital treatment for
Cabuena led to the capture of his
companions and Fermin G. Barry,
another Filipino, hired to take
them to Los Angeles in his auto
mobile after the robbery, according
to Sheriff Robert Ware.
Teddy Qisililen and Estive Vera,
alleged to have been present when
the holdup was staged, did not
leave with Cabaybag, Antiporda
and Cabuena but took the machine
and gun used to the Anderson Fill
pine camp south east of Mt. Sig
nal store and remained there until
having an opportunity to take the
car to Calexico. They stored the
automobile in a Calexico garage
and departed for Los Angeles on
the stage and still are at large.
Cabaybag, Antiporda and Cab
uena in Barry's automobile left
via Calexico, Holtville, Calipatria
and the North Shore road, the
sheriff said. This road was blocked
by officers but the change in auto
mobiles and number of Filipinos in
the group, aided in the escape,
officers said.
At Indio, however, it was neces-
sary to obtain treatment for Cab
uena and the hospital report to
police led to- the capture. Cabuena

ing do u make reenactment OF
any similar measure seem impos-
sIble without constitutional amend
ment-a long and difficult task.
Striking at the very heart of
the law, the decision held that
control of crop production even
by voluntary agreements and the
payment of bounties exceeded the
limitations placed on the power of
the federal government.
A stunning blow at what the
New Deal considers it's outstanding
recovery achievement, the decision
left officials at least momentarily
uncertain as to their immediate
course.
The decision was in such force
ful terms that it left no doubt that
the Bankhead Cotton Control Act
also would be declared invalid.
The decision served to strike
down processing taxes on wheat,
rice, tobacco, corn, hogs, sugar
oeets and sugar cane, paper, jute,
peanuts and rye, as well as cot
ton.
Crop Control Falls
Crop production control pro-
grams for all these commodities
fell with the decision.
The decision was considered the
most important in political sig
nificance since the Civil War.
The issue OF constitutional
amendment was regarded as an
almost inevitable outcome, although
the exact form it would take was
uncertain.
The court based it's decision on
the finding that AAA was an in
vasion of the right of the states
1t also held that the plan itself
was 'in itself net voluntary"
1t was planned by adninistra-
ton leaders to submit Institute
legislation to congress without de-
lay to replace the AAA to what

lal valley directly affected by the
decision, since they are the only
basic crops on which farmers here
received bounties. Wheat growers
will be affected indirectly, &C
cording to Scott B. Foulds, farm
bureau secretary. Wheat growers
here were ineligible to share in
bounties, but were benefited by
high prices resulting from curtail-
ment elsewhere, he added.
Hog growers will not feel the
decision to great extent because
they are not producing the number
of hogs permitted them under AAA
provisions. Good prices probably
will continue because of the hog
shortage, it was pointed out. I'M
perial county's payments for hog
production control were second
largest in the state.
Prices to Drop
Cotton growers in the Colorado
river district will suffer, along
with those in Mexico, by the al
most inevitable increase in cotton
acreage, and a corresponding drop
in prices. Corn and hog growers
and cotton producers who have re-
ceived bounty payments in this
county, however, number slightly
more than $50.
Officials here would not attempt
to guess whether the court deci-
sion will have any affect on pro-
ration schedules slated to go into
effect in the citrus industry this
Growers and shippers here
were inclined to feel that the pro-
rate will not be affected, since the
agreements refer to
between states, and not
to crop control.
The AAA decision was received
by Imperial county agricultural
leaders as a severe blow to or

LIBRARY STILL
WITHOUT HOME


Ell Centros public library still
is homeless in spite of the MANY
offers of temporary quarters to
house the institution following its
closing Saturday. The present
building on State street was de-
clared unsafe in event of earth
quake.
A. H. Keller, chairman of the IL
orary board, said Monday that
homes, office buildings and plants
had been offered as temporary
quarters but none had been sell
ected by the board as yet.
The temporary quarters, Keller
said, probably would necessitate
establishment of a service similar
to that of a circulating library as
it probably would be impossible
to obtain place suitable for read
ing rooms.
The library was closed Saturday
following receipt of a report from
Los Angeles architects employed to
make an examination of the build
ing.
