Bruce Cation Says:>>
Charity Doesn't Cure Basic III : Poverty

There is a well-to-do- gentleman In
New York who fills mis- pockets with
dimes every Saturday and sets out
to indulge in a quaint and pecuhar
hobby.
He goes to some likely street cor
ner and stands there, waiting for
down and cutters, the vagrants, and
the ne're-do- wells to shuttle past.
As they pass he shells out his
dimes, one to each man, digging
deep in his pocket until the supply
is gone.
He doesn't care what his charges
do with their dimes-whether they
spend them for flophouse bed, a
cup of coffee, sandwich or a shot
of Bowery smoke" It's the giving
that interests him; and, as he says,
the dimes at least make them
happy"
That is probably true enough.
When a man has nothing at all, it
doesn't take much to lift his spirits
a bit; shiny dine in the palm OF
his hand brings a mamentary glow,
and since happiness is none too
plentiful in any walk of life, it is
hard to begrudge this dime giver
his unusual hobby.
But without reflection in the least
on the motives OF this kind-hearted
New Yorker it ought to be remarked
that the brother-can-you-spare-a
dime method of dealing with poverty
erty isn't nearly good enough these
days. For while you can make a
destitute man happy by handing
him a dime-or a basket of food
a work-relief order, or voucher for
ton of coal-he is still as destitute
as he was before you met him, once
your bounty is exhausted.
Now great deal of nonsense has
been written and spoken about the
evils of "the system" that plunges
men into poverty. Much of it is
the veriest soapbox claptrap. But
when all the hokum has been clear
ed way, the fact remains that
we live in a world which somehow
produces povety as well as hap
uiness, bleak despair as well as
bright hope.
It is as clear as daylight tnat
ordinary "relief"-whether in the
form of private charity or govern

BRINGING
ALL THE NEWS

VALLEY
PUNISHMENT SHOULD BE
JUST AS SEVERE

The latest quirk in Hollywoods re-
cent flood of extortion notes has a very
serious aspect underlying the comic
theme. The Los Angeles district attor-
ney, smelling something that is not eX-
actly like a rose, has ordered samples
of the handwriting of two press agents
taken, to be compared with the writing
in extortion notes sent to an actress
and a moving picture family The notes
threatened Disagreement and death.
If the press agents were authors of
the notes, there should be no difference
recognized. If the persons who received
the notes had knowledge of the scheme,
their punishment should be made GER
tain. 1t is not as if the thing were their
own business, and purely their own.
There is more far reaching effect
Publicly given to such extortion notes,
criminal experts know, always brings
a flood of notes in other parts of the
country, involving other people, Untold
suffering may be caused, indirectly. The
hair-line of mental balance disturbed
by reading of the threats made against
a movie star, a criminally inclined NOR
on in another part of the country may
out a duplicate scheme.
Whoever is responsible for the Holly
wood eXtortion notes is responsible, also,
for grave danger to others, and should
be punished as the crime deserves

OVERLOOKING VACATION
SPOTS NEAR HOME

The time is drawing nearer when true
Imperial Valley residents will begin to
lay plans for their vacations, deciding
where to go and what to do-and how
much. to spend. Sometimes the bank
book is a potent force in deciding the
last issue. At any rate, most of us in
Imperial Valley, whether we have lot
or little to spend on vacations, have
long overlooked the most economical
way of spending the summer holiday.
Sundays Post-Press (did you notice
the pictures?) carried the story of PIT
mile Sunday trip, made between day
light and dark, through the mountain
area which, rightly, was described as the
valleys weekend territory. Naturally,
it was impossible in limited space to
describe all the odd hooks and corners
located-just as it was impossible in
the brief time allotted to visit every place
of interest in the mountains. Even such
trip as this, however, should convince
many that the mountains are more or
less overlooked as a vacation place.
Most of US go to Jacumba for week
ends, it is true, and some of us visit
Julian and Moreno and Cuyamaca dur
ing the summer-but how many of us
have, actually spent vacation in some
of the out-of-the-way, beautiful spots
THAT are W Uc lOuIu IL we Will Oilly iOOh'
There are places in the mountains,
touched by cool streams, bordered by
green pines and shady live oaks, that
are neglected the year round. 1t is not
because they are not worthy of notice
it is because they are not well known
even to those of US who believe we know
the mountain territory between here and
San Diego.
If the purse is first consideration
there is no more economical way of
spending a vacation than in the noun
tains. If beauty is of first Importance
look for the scenic spots; there are
more than enough of them that will
startle you with their beauty. If it is
rest you want-and most of us need it
about vacation time-then there is not
a better place to go.
There are many things off the beaten
path that are not popular only because
they have not been found.
