We are having some warm days,
Causing thought of good highways.
And the places we'd like to go,
Where it's cool even snow.
SO let's give the traveller treat
Put a highway on Adams street
And underpass at the S.P,
The proper thing don't you see.

WILL
MEET TEAM
FROM BRAWLEY

Homer Shirk, stamped by Coach
Roland Taylor as the finest basket
ball player the valley has ever
had, will lead team of BraWley
All Stars against the Junior Col
lege Arabs in the Ell Centro gym
nasium tonight.
Shirk is a former BraWley high
school and junior college student
who is now attending Stanford
University. He can dribble and
handle the ball with perfection.
Although the highly touted Jay
Gee Arabs are expected to win,
nobody expects pushover. Coach
Taylors crew has surpassed in
performance any Jaycee team the
school has boasted for many years.
They have lost by one basket to
the strong Gila Junior College five
and by two baskets to the Uni
versity of CALIFORNIA; 145-pound
team. Last Saturday the Arabs de-
feated San Diego States Frosh.
The Ell Centro Junior College has
games coming up with Phoenix
Jaycee and probably the San Diego
Army and Navy Academy.

Chuck Taylor, former profession

fundamental principles of basketball

Chuck Taylor will be assisted by a
group of local high school and Jun

promises to supply two players, Cal
eXico two, and Holtville some of its
stars to help out in the demonstra
ton. 1t will be under the super
vision of Coach w. S. Taylor.
Everything in Taylor's schedule is
fundamental. His technique is based
upon the idea of simplifying hoop
tactics. His personal demOnStra-
tionS are convincing proof of the ef-
fectiveneSs of these methods. Tay-
lOr is a master at feinting. His
passes and style of covering the
basketball floor are all fundamentals
Of basketball as it should be played.
Members of local commercial
teams and their managers are eX-

pacity has been provided. The dem
onstration is open to the public.

The old story about the man who
was so fast that he could turn off
the light and be in bed before the
room was dark is now an actual fact.
He doesn't have to run the risk of
breaking his neck doing this little
trick either, as the chairs, tables, and
end of the bed are still brightly
Illuminated even after he is safely
under the covers. This feat is made
possible by a new time controlled light
switch, and it is simple matter for
you to do this and many other con-
tortions if you have them installed
in your home.
The switch itself Is Just like any
ordinary wall switch. 1t goes in the
same wall box, and you snap the
lights on just like you do with any
other switch. Then when you are
ready for bed, or going out of the
room, you snap the time switch off
as you would an ordinary switch, but
the light stays on. The timing mech
anism starts to work and soon the
light snaps off automatically. Mean
"A31S} yOu 1ldNC lldO lullC w SIllllD
into bed without barking your shins,
or falling over anything.
You don't have to limit the use
of this switch to the bed room. as it
can be used in an almost unlimited
number of places around the house.
If you have one on your porch light,
you can walk down the front steps
to your car and the lights will be
taken care of after you have success
fully traversed what would otherwise
be dark pair of steps, and possibly
a darker walk. One of these switches
at the foot of your stairs leading
to the second floor will enable you
to turn the light off downstairs, reach
the second floor. and completely forget
the switch that you would otherwise
have to remember if you had the old
three-way system.
There is such a wide timing range
with the various sizes of these switches
that you can operate an egg boiler,
or electric grill with a minimum time
interval OF 40 seconds before it shuts
off. Refrigerators can be automatically
defrosted. radios automatically turned
on, electric heaters in the bath room
turned on or off, anywhere from
five minutes to five hours after the
