Directors Insist
On Road Plan to
Benefit Farmers
Continued from Page u

Continued from Page y
and we suggest for the consideration
of the highway commission the re-
alignment of the secondary road
from Brawley to Holtville by ex-
tending said road east from Ala
moria to the secondary highway
from Calipatria to Holtville thereby
eliminating serious traffic haz-
ard.
"a. That We definitely oppose the
expenditure of money for the re-
routing of Mountain Springs grade
but do recommend the improve
ment of the present road.
IS. That we definitely oppose the
ALLEGATION of money for the thre-
lane highway between Brawley and
Ell Centro and urge your consider
alton of the establishment of an
alternate SO from Westmoreland
south to highway 80 at a point
three miles west of Ell Centro.
IS. That the secondary system
be brought to a uniform standard
of serviceability."
The reason for specific mention
of the two secondary highways is
that the directors believed the
Bonds Corner road to be below the
standard of other secondary roads,
and the Brawley- -Holtville road pre-
sents definite hazard which has
resulted in several deaths.
In connection with roads, G. o.
Hoober, farm bureau president pre-
sented a resolution to the Califor-
MIA Farm Bureau Federation, the
resolution providing that the board
of directors of the state farm bureau
federation be instructed to set up
a state-farm to-market road COM
mittee, to study the road problem
to develop a program that will in
clude improvement of farm-to-mar-
ket roads in equitable proportions
to the improvement of state high
ways and city streets; to compile
information on materials and costs
of lower type all-weather construc-
ton to meet the practical needs
of farm roads; to assemble data
on the expenditure of the federal
farm-to-market road appropriations
allocated to California, and to make
report of it's findings to the next
annual convention and that provi-
sion be made in the state farm bu-
reau federation budget for the work
of this committee which shall have
the assistance of the research de-
partment.
It was further resolved that the
directors recommend to county
farm bureaus the creation of COM
mittees to make similar studies in
the counties. Data in support of
the resolution was presented.
AS to agricultural conservation
program, three recommendations
were presented by the committee
in the form of resolution which
was approved by the directors as
their program. Under this resolu-
ton the farm bureau asks the
state legislature to pass bill pro-
viding for three detectives; oppor-
tunity for crop control by farm
producers; the establishment and
maintenance of parity of prices
between agricultural and industrial
products; state cooperation with the
federal government for soil conser-
vation.
Membership, plans for the state
and national conventions in Pasa-
dena Dec. Gil, and for the Imper-
ial county farm bureaus annual
meeting and election of officers
Dec. constituted the remainder of
the business for the meeting.

European verdict of "a sensation,
"a magnificent musician" In COM

appearance, the musical critics were
unanimous and unstinting in their
praise, one critic saying:
"Piatigorsky played the cello and
a capacity audience lost all reserves
and went delightfully."- mad. They

Latest, New York
Styles Described
By Mrs. King

Latest New York fashions as seen
in the importers offices are des-
cribed by Mrs. M. o. King who re-
Gently returned from a buying trip
in that city during which she had
many of the Partisan successes
copied and rushed direct to the
local store.
Among the new styles are the
cocktail and daytime gowns that
are designed with tucked swing
skirts and separate bodices. Formal
ensembles with metal blouSes and
rich velvet skirts, worn with the
new fingertip and ankle length eve
ming wraps are also exceptionally
smart, said Mrs. King.
Scores of new coat styles, some
of fur and others trimmed in furs,
as we'll as the sports models, are
unusually varied and are both beau
tiful and wearable.
Hats, many fashioned by Stetson,
and others by outstanding stylists OF
America, have world of chic and
distinction, the result of artists
brains and fingers.
Mrs. King was particularly inter-
ested in children's wear, having in
mind the development of the large
and fine department at the local
store. The daintiest dresses, coats
trimmed with real fur, sweaters,
both singles and in sets are among
the many fashions found for the
younger generation.
Many Ell Centro women have visit
ed the store to see these clothes
| which have been selected personally
for them direct from the market.
The shipments are arriving daily
with every express
Immediately following the holi-
days Mrs. King will spend six weeks
in the style centers Of the east to
arrange for daily shipments of the
new style creations, enabling Cali
fornia women to have them as soon
as those in New York, and at the
some price, although 5000 miles
marks the distance between Ell Gen.
tro and New York.

that I have heard here has met
with reception even approximate
ing this one. When Madame Curie
discovered radium she doubtless had
hard time explaining it. Its new
ness blocked comparison. Such is
the case with Piatigorsky's tone. 1t

of a piercing beauty that hurts"
Other papers, New York, Chicago,
San Francisco have alike been un-
restrained in their enthusiasm for
Piatigorsky's technique and the
beautiful tone he produces from his
rare Amati cello, calling him the
Russian CaSalS."
