 Republican members of the board, particularly, Harley F. Tripp, of the Colonial Trust Company, ex- pressed amazement that the con. troller could obtain 50 low a rate, saying it was remarkable accom- plishment. A resolution offered by Major w. Judge offered thanks of the board for the controllers serv- ices through the eight years of the present regime, and, at that time, Commissioner Judge expressed the hope that the controller would be reappointed to the board for the term starting after the first of the year.
 Mayor Hayes remarked, at this juncture, that the city would have been forced to pay in scrip and that, in 1891, when most municipalities were finding running expense funds almost impossible to obtain, Con- troller Leary always was able to get the necessary money to keep the city solvent, and on a cash basis where employees salaries were con- cerned.
 To Take Rest
 Mir. Leary then said that he was ''going to take rest" and that he declined the offer of re-appointment to the Board of Finance. He ex- pressed the thought that he would get out of city affairs.
 The loan, arranged through the Bank of Manhattan Company, is to meet interest and bond redemp- ton payments due January ], and is for ordinary city expenses until the first installment of taxes IS due in May.
 The last temporary loan made by the city was foi one million dollars and was obtained at the rate of .45 of one per cent last June. This was paid a month ago.
 No Profit
 Commissioners asked the con. troller how the bank could make a profit" on such low rate as the present loan carries and MT. Leary said he believed that there wasn't any profit.
 Following general congratulations on his service to the city, MT. Leary remarked that he felt he was "en- titled to a vacation" and that "it would be a good thing to see some

 General Grant National Park, Cal, Dec. 21. (UP)--E1igh on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada moun- tains, surrounded by giant redwood forests, many visitors will gather around the General Grant tree at noon on Christmas to celebrate the 18th annual nations Christmas tree ceremony.
 No symbol of nature could be more fitting for a Christmas cele- bration than the 267.foot giant tree which started from a tiny seed more than 5000 years ago-centuries be- fore the Christ child was born in Bethlehem.
 Sacred services have been held at the foot of General Grant tree since 1925, despite snowstorms on sev- eral Christmas days. While the cere- monies are in progress, the entire program is re-enacted over Radio KMJ, 65 miles away in Fresno, Cal, and released on Western network.

 ''The Alaskan lumber industry purchases most of the timber used to supply salmon packers needs from the Tongass Forest in South east Alaska and the Chugach For est on Prince William Sound. Prac- tically all the coastal timber in the Territory is included in these two national forests.
 "Of the money which the federal government receives from the sale of the stumpage, 35 per cent IS re- turned to the Territory for road and trail construction and maintenance, and for schools. Between 1909 and 1886. the Territory received $365, 900 from this allotment for schools and roads. The U. s. Forest Service re- ceived an additional $179,000 for trail construction

NUMBERING Is BIG INDUSTRY IN TERRITORY

Pointing out that logging and lum- Der mill industry in Alaska Is one of the Territory's .big three" n business sense, W. F. Sehlothan, enc of the pioneer progressive pack CTS of salmon and a prominent ma chine shop operator of ketehlkan, re- gently stated that this major Alaska industry finds it's principal markets in the Territory rather than on the Outside.
 Due to high transportation costs, Alaska timber items, except the highest grades of clear lumber, can not be shipped to markets outside the Territory in competition with timber products from areas closer to the markets. Thus, one of the most important markets for the Alaska timber producers is the canned sal men industry in Alaska" Schlothan said.

STYLE VS.. FASHION
OR
FASHION PLUS STYLE
By MYRTLE Nj. SIMMS

Several years ago I was giving a
! luncheon for two friends who had
arrived in town simultaneously for
a visit. Dorothea o. New York
greeted June OF Honolulu with this
remark: You have not changed at
all, clever and witty as in college
days and wearing your clothes the
same June way" Laughingly, June
remarked. "Style means absolutely
nothing to me, but you, Dorothea,
look as though you had studied to
be the most faultlessly groomed
woman in the States and succeed
ed" Both women were dressed in
fashion, one knew the art of being
stylish.
Anyone can be fashionable by
following simple rules recorded in
hundreds of fashion magazines and
fashion columns of our daily papers.
But to look stylish, to wear clothes
well, to have dash and poise, to
model clothes whether these be
Fifth Avenue exclusives or the COM
fly Nelly Don, one must either be
born with that art, (and how few
of us are) or else study the art of
being stylish.
The fashions of today are SO vari-
ed and many, the woman of Impe-
rial Valley can be in the fashion
and style parade whether dressed
in a dollar ninety eight morning
costume, a knit or linen two piece,
or the strictly tailored suit for
street, soft batiste for afternoon, or
the lovely cool cottonS for dinner
and evening. The accessories for
these various costumes, as well as
many selectiVe designs, or yardaga
if on2 prefers, may be found in the
FL Centre shops.
Give yourself the treat of a full
day on Main Street. down one side
and up the other, leisurely looking
and trying on. You will find many
things suited to your individual type,
smart chappeaus, bags and hose
may be found to complete, with
satisfaction, your costume. From
now until summer ends, only cool,
comfortable frocks will interest val
ley women.
White is tops for smartness. En-
liVen your white costumes with
accents of vivid color. Gloves point
the way TO new contrasts, ana
shoes bearing a bit of color to
match other accessories are right.
Bags match shoes and hat rather
than costume. Wear your broad
brimmed straw hat with any cos
tune. at just the right angle. Style!
A top coap or cape of sheer is
needed for evening, the all the rage
jigger coat, loose and finger tip
length, in dark Sheers for light cos
tunes and pastel woolens for darker
ones.
Costume jeWelry is more intrigu-
ing than ever, but one must have
style to wear il well. Beads. from
one to five strands, are helpful to
most any neckline.
/ believe a great many men enjoy
studying clothes as well as women
do. What is more flattering to a
man, any man, than a suit of white!
Whether made of gabardine, congo
cloth, linen or palm beach, with
gaily harmonizing accessories, our
men of Imperial Valley may join
the summer style parade, i'll town,
the country or at the seashore, and
have that best of all comfortable

Light in weight, light in color,
even the tailoring of summer suits
is on the light side. In summer,
more than any other time of the
year, taste has the edge on money.
Neat little linen dresses and wide
brimmed rustic straw hats are
both inexpensive and smart. Most
fabrics this season have been tried
and tested to stand under heat
and sun and water and the dry
cleaners. Many of the lines are
creaSe-resiStant, many of the cot
tons that depend upon a crisp ap-
peal have permanent finish, COL
lorS are fast in both cottonS and
crepes and fabrics are non shrink
able.
For active sports nothing has
dimmed the popularity of shorts.
Wear them one-piece in candy
striped pique, or two pieced in
the same blue denim you've seen
in mechanics overalls with a
sketchy red bandana halter. You'll
find them in style to suit your
taste or figure so if you can pos
