HOOBER TELLS
COUNTY ROAD
SYSTEM NEED

This is the second of a series
of six articles prepared by c. o.
Hoober, president of the Imperial
county farm bureau, to give Imper-
ial Valley residents a picture of
road conditions. Information was
gathered from Official records over
a three-year period Surveys were
made by the farm bureau road COM
mittee. The third article is schedul-
ed to appear next week.
Facts showing the comparative
modernization of conveyances for
travel and roads for travel in I'm
perial county were presented in our
first story. Our conveyances are
rightly modernized; our roads are
not.
In this second story let us in
quire who uses our roads and
why?" Normally business takes
us from home every day; pleasure
frequently. but less often.
Imperial Valley is a large food
factory It's 100000 acres, divided
into 4,4O0 farms or units Of pro-
duction, are unified under our sys-
tenn of irrigation canals. Proper
operation of this food factory re-
quires one or more daily visits to
each of these 4,400 farm units by
workers and those in charge. Pro-
yiding supplies, fuI-, repairs and
other requirments necessitate many
additional visits. In these opera
tions the farmer is not alone con-
cerned. The business man from
our town finds it necessary to
make many trips to these outlaying
production units. In these activi-
ties rural and city dwellers use
our roads extensively.
Another factor in the use of the
roads is the daily movement of labor
as many workers live in towns.
Also there must be considered the
movement of the grown products,
grain, hay, livestock, poultry, vege-
tables. fruit, to shipping point.
Mere than 100000 tone of farm
produce are grown annually in
Imperial county.
In fact it is reasonable to as
sumo that none of the 20,O52 auto
mobiles owned in this county in
their daily business Travelled only
on improved city streets or state
highways, but in addition traversed
a considerable mileage of our coun-
try dirt roads.
Our valley travel for pleasure pro-
badly does not vary greatly from our
business routine. This travel takes
us to valley towns. to country homes
to the desert with an occasional
excursion to some other county
point. Some OF the mileage is over
surfaced state highways, but much
of it is over unimproved dirt roads.

Chicago, Mar. 6-Sportsmanship
in this years Golden Gloves bouts
- the Chicago Stadium has been
unusually significant. Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday nights last
week saw fights between sectional
and city champions for the honor
Of entering the finals on Friday
evening of this week. But until last
Wednesdays quarter-finals, the
thousands in attendance had been
decidedly anti-Negro in mixed
bouts.
This racial feeling was not beau
tiful to see. If a colored boxer won
the decision over his white rival,
The crowd as a rule booed the YER
dict. If a paleface fighter knocked
down his dusky foe or was giving
him a decisive beating, the throng
cheered itself hoarse. And if the
brown boy was kayoed, it called
for a miniature celebration.
However, maybe this wasn't so
bad as it appeared. TIE truth is
that on the first two nights the
sepia fighters We're dealing kayoes
in such frequency to Caucasian OPP
ponents that white spectators evil
IDENTIFY developed an inferiority COM
pick and seized upon every pretext
to salvage their blistered egos.
But by Wednesday night, only the
classier fighters were left and
most battles were fought on fairly
even terms. There were compare
lively few knockouts. And the
crowd reversed its attitude to only
bouts which saw white fil ters
get close decisions over sepias, the
attitude was so changed that the
ofay boys were booed. In view of
what went on the two previous
nights, this is positively amazing.

Joe Louis and his wife, the for
mer Marva Trotter, were at the
ringside together Wednesday night
which ought to set at rest those
wild yarns that the couple had sep
arated. Mrs. Louis had arrived that
morning from a vacation in Ber-
nuda. Incidently, Joe was wildly
cheered when he stepped into the
ring to award his trophy to the
