VIRGINIA'S AGE
PENSION BILL
SLASHED
BY a Staff Correspondent

CHMOND, Feb. 25.-Vir-
ginia's administration has taken q
body blow in the form of an
amendment to its 100000 di-
rect relief appropriation which
will carve off $875,000 of the sum
to be used exclusively for old age
pensions.
The House took this action last
night in adopting the SpiersEd-
wards-Bandy amendment to the
administration direct relief bill.
At the same time the Senate fl
nance committee was sleeping
over the Fuller bill, which is prac-
tically the same thing as the
amendment, on which hearings
were held yesterday afternoon.
Both the amendment and the
Fuller bill set aside $375, 900 for
the first year of the coming bi-
ennium and $500,000 for the
second year. This sum, to be
matched dollar-for-dollar by the
Federal government, will be Vir-
ginia's initial step on the road
to social security legislation.
House RebelliOus
The House was in a rebellious
mood when the direct relief bill
came before it at a special meet
ing last night. Delegates John
B. Spiers, of Radford and Horace
Edwards of Richmond City. spoke
in behalf of the amendment, both
holding the floor for considerable
time in answering opponents to
their amendment and to the bill
itself.
Delegate Leon Bazile, of Han
over, former assistant attorney
general of Virginia. who is rec
ognized in the house as an au-
thority on constitutional law, at
tackled the whole bill as uncon-
stitutional and he cited several
Virginia and United States Su-
preme Court cases to prove his
point, notably the AAA and child
labor cases in the latter court.
Many Support Bill
At the senate finance commit
tee hearing on the Fuller bill,
Senator Benjamin Muse, Peters
burg, held the financing of the
old-age plan in the Fuller act was
"the acme of simplicity" in that
it merely took money from the
direct relief appropriation and
put it in a special fund solely for
old-age pensions. Proponents of
this measure said approximately
1000 persons would benefit by
the appropriation and they would
receive about SIS per month in
all from the State and Federal
Governments.
Labor officials, speakers for the
fraternal order Of Eagles and rep
resentativeS of womens' organiza-
tions appeared in behalf of the
bill. The committee has the bill
under advisement. The Spiers-
EdwardS-B -Bandy amendment car
ried, so to AZ. shortly before the
house adjourned. The bill con-
tinues as special and continuing
order of business today.

By MILTON A. BOSLEY. D. v. M.
Although your veteranian is not
usually a seller Of dogs. it is pos
sible for him to help the average
novice buyer regarding the physi-
cal condition Of the pup you may
desire to own.
Regardless of the breed you may
have selected, I believe it will be
wise to have your prospective pup
examined for diseases or given in
oculations against them.
Bought by Mail
In a great many cases when it
is impossible for the purchaser to
visit the kennel of one of the bet
ter known breeders, the animal is
frequently bought by mail.
This entails severe obligation
on the part of the kennel owner,
but in some cases is a gamble to
the buyer. It is my belief, how.
ever, that most breeders are hon
est and have a reputation to main
tain. Actually they cannot afford
to sell even one bad specimen, for
people will talk, and one poor pup
will create more Ill will than the
sale of a dozen good dogs. Most
breeders know this and take no
chances.
I have no way o. obtaining au-
thentic figures but I feel safe in
stating that a great many of our
better bred dogs Of all breeds have
been purchased by correspondence.

BEWARE OF FEAR.
Ventura STAR

DR.. J.. c. Gelger, San Francscos health
director, sounds a warning tC parents against
encouraging fear in their young children. He
points out that the newborn infant Is prac-
tcally fearless" and although he grows in self
dependence as he becomes older, his fears too
grow in number and compleXty
As time goes On, he soon acquires most
Of the fears of his mother and father, as well
as those of his companions. He learns TO be
afraid because others are afraid" And DE-.
Geiger urges the utmost care against implanCing
unnecessary fears in the infant mind, some OF
which may blight his entire life. The fearful
child becomes the fearful adult and pays
throughout his life with many unhappy hours
for faulty emotional training in his formative
years"
Fear is a poison against which all of us
must be on guard. The competent, cneerful,
courageous parent will have children who share
those qualities and the over-anXicus parent can
easily mar the happiness of the child that he
or she loves too deyotedy and fearfully
II is a heritage Of fear springing from inse-
curity that is perhaps the worst effect OF de-
preston, unemployment ard poverty on the
children Of dep~essions victims. But even that
can't be largely overcome by the wise and cour-
ageous parent.

TO AMERICA:
THIS is IMPERIAL VALLEY

THIS IL IMPERIAL IALLE1
Imperial Valley and its people hare
been busy these last 36 gears, cdrUiHg
homes in the desert-tOO busy fuIIu to
describe to the UOrId the reasons Uhy
Imperial Valley is something more
than Americas greatest agricultural
region.
With completion of the All Ameri-
can canal, Imperial Valley will have
ing era that has held sway since 1900.
It will have time to take stock, to total
its prosperity and to become a winter
playground as we'll as an all-year farm
ing territory. The valley has everything
to offer, but it has yet to develop some
of its most outstanding assets.
This All American Canal Progress
edition attempts to summarize Imperial
Valley. The lengthiest Of summaries
would be too short.
1t is natural that agriculture should
play such an important part in the val
ley's makeup, and in this edition. 1t is
the foundation upon which Imperial
Valley was built. 1t makes this terri
tory the richest in the nation. Life re-
wolves about agriculture in Imperial Val
ley.
Still, there is every reason why, in
addition to its agriculture, the valley
should become one of Americas finest
winter resort areas. The climate is ideal,
the surroundings fitting, and the poten-
tial attractions TO visitors are without
end Salton Sea, painted canyons, petri-
fled forests, scenic sand hillS-they have
been treated elsewhere in this edition.
These things help make Imperial
Valley a unique potential resort area.

OF the canal being dug by contractors

OF the other half, only a very small
proportion actually has viewed the can

1t seems strange that persons living
in the shadow of the Western Hemis-
