Cooling Systems Enable Many
To Spend Summer in Valley

Cooling systems and desert COOL
ers have effected a revolution in
the summer habits of valley res
identS.
No longer are three months vaca-
tionS matter of course for with
the comfort given by the coolers it
is possible for the families to re-
main at home for the greater part
of the summer, leaving only when
the man of the family has his
vacation.
Gone is all the trouble and bother
involved in packing up for the
summer getting settled in new
house then, in almost no time at
ALL packing up to come home
where the problems of fall house
cleaning after the summer bache-
lors' housekeeping greet the re-
turned homemakers.
Many Ell Centric families have
decided to remain at home until
late in the summer some setting
a definite date while others, more
cautious, say. I'm going TO stay
home as long as I can," giving
themselves an opportunity TO leave
should the heat become more Sc
we're.
Even those families who have
planned to leave for the summer
have delayed their departure since
the present cool weather makes it
possible for them to remain.
fhncn ttyta0 fNla I'M
now to spend a greater part of the
summer at home are: Mrs. j. B.
McNeece the McNeeces having in
stalled cooling system SO that
they can remain until Mr.. Nc
Neece is able to leave; Mrs. A. l..
Dilbeck, the Dilbecks planning to
go later in the summer for fish
ing trip in the country above Bish-
op; Mrs. l.. j. Goree, jr., who is
holding her cabin at Calexico lodge
in reserve for weekend trips; Mrs.
E. l.. Carson, who is considering
staying until Sept. l.; Mrs. R. ].
Mcnamara who plans to visit in
San Francisco and then return to
the valley; the H. r. AnderSons,
Mrs. Forrest E. Kutz, Mrs. Don c.
Bitler, the Don Rex family, the
Harry Horizons, Guy A. Weakleys,
c. E. SoneS, r. B. Whitelaws, the
R. w. Wares the Melvin o. Kings,
Mrs. j. D, Adams, Mrs. Charles B.
Provence.
Included in this list also are:
Mrs. w. w. McEuen, who will take
weekend trips to their mountain
cabin at Laguna, going later with
Mr.. McEuen On camping trip;
Mrs. l.. c. House and Miss Dorothy
Lou Gillian, whose present plans
call for a leisurely trip through the
Pacific northwest whenever DR..
House is able to get away: Mrs.
Mont j. Reid, who has her Laguna
cabin saved for weekends and for
use later in the summer; the Joe
E. Kings, who have made no plans
as yet but who will probably be
in Pasadena for at least part of
the summer.
Judge and Mrs. Vaughn N.
Thompson have made no definite
plans for their summer vacation
but their son, Billy, with Raynor
ClemonS, son of DR.. and Mrs. R. c.
Clemons, will enter summer school
at the Davis Military Academy at
Carlsbad Mrs. Clemons and Diane

Waits on Washington

Start of Connecticut's most suspicious public building program is waiting on federal action at Washington. We expect few millions to amplify what the Legis- lature has already provided in the shape of permission to float bonds. There is to be made available from the sale of bonds about $11 100000. This is less than half enough to care for all requirements as specified at various times this year. That's why we are so Solicitous about federal funds at this particular moment
 Should no federal funds arrive from Washington, however, we presume that Public Works Director Robert A. Hurley will have to dope out a new program of expenditures. There is every reason to believe that federal funds will be forth coming, as this year the state has pro- vided amply for it's own participation in the building program, whereas two years ago when we were trying to get aid from Washington it was denied simply because the state didn't desire to dig down into its own pocket
 It will be of considerable interest to all citizens of the state to see how the build ing program is administered and carried through. It will also be quite test for the new Public Works Director. Plunging him into this job as his first major task since the office was created this year is certainly test of the first water If he succeeds in carrying out all the desired building projects that have been sought and partially promised he will be the fair haired boy of this state. His job looms as no Sinecure.

WATERBURY EPISODE


 Human emotions appear to have been considerably stirred in Water bury by Police Superintendent Roach's ban on propaganda film designed to Wsn support for the loy- alist faction in Spain. There also may be question of principle in- volved as to the police chiefs au- thority to censor film of this type.
 The news report would indicate that number of psychological fac tors might be involved. A Catholic priest, Father O'Flanagan, who is under disciplinary suspension by his bishop in Ireland was scheduled as the speaker in connection with the showinug of the film. The Catholic press is quite generally opposed to the Spanish loyalist faction because of its communistic policies. The Brass City has large Catholic con- stituency. Also, it contains many Italians who, like their mother coun- try, are disposed to favor the Spanish rebels. These facts may have some bearing on the attitude of the American war vet erans, the American Legion and the Knights of Columbus, all of which urged Chief Roach to ban the film
 Still, it does not seem clear from the available information that con- ditions had reached or even threat ened to reach the point of civil dis order in Waterbury that the police chief should invoke his emergency powers. The idea hardly bears per- suasion that groups may threaten disorder if their sentiments are not respected concerning an issue in another country. Equal rights under our laws should not be made to bow to such indefensible coercion.
 Presumably the Spanish war will not be permitted to disrupt Water bury's peace but we cannot imagine such peace to be bought by utterly squelching what may be a minority attitude in the city as regards the loyalist cause.

Fight on Dust Pest

Occasionally, when man is working frantically to free himself from the shackles Nature has placed upon him, Nature itself comes along and, overnight, gratuitouSly slashes the knots. Such was the case when the early June million dollar storm" swept down the east side of the Rocky Mountains, killing grass hoppers and cricket hordes, and provid- ing moisture for large areas of drought plagued farming land
 More welcome was this storm because it fitted in with Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. WallaceS announcement that the federal government is ready with it's first long-range, co-ordinated plan to prevent the So-called "dust boWl' from becoming desert Soil conservation services already have completed the aerial mapping of nearly 50 million acres in the "dust bowl'' region, the photographs showing the devastating effects of winds which shift billions of tons of top soil. Ground surveys have added to our knoWl- edge of the situation.
 With this information, Secretary Wal lace has appointed director to guide the work of federal agencies in about 100 counties of Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, where wind
 
 covered by the program will amount to more than 90 million acres of which more than 70 million is farm land. The major move involves a shift from wheat production to combination crops and live stock operations. Land now in crops would be restored to grass, and crop cul- tivation would be confined to areas best fitted for that purpose.
 This is commendable progress, but 1t should not blind us to the fact that long fight lies ahead before we can consider this immense territory completely reha- bilitated. Simple because people outside the "dust bowl" have not heard so much of the scourage this year, there is strong temptation to let the crusade take care of itself But it is vain to hope that dust storms will decide all at once to call quits and whirl off to some other planet. Like the unWelcome visitor, they are with us to stay as long as we will stand for them. Since it was partly national care lessness in planting, tilling and conserv- ing the soil that created the situation, the nation generally should keep on provid- ing realistic assistance to those dust bowl residents who are unable to move out.
 Governmental resources are being thrown into the skirmish lines, and nature has relented long enough for us to get toe-hold in new position. The federal shelter belt is leafing out with it's small but growing challenge to dust. But the battle has just started And we must stay with it tothe end, determined to fight it out along scientific lines if it takes all of several summers

Flexible HILLS Weight of Waterbury Behind Boulder Dam to Bend Nevada-Scientists Discuss
 How Much.
How Much.
NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE

The firmness of rocks and the inflexibility of mountains have been proverbial for so many generations that it is something of a shock to find the Seismological Society of America discussing last week at St. Louis how much Nevada will be bent by weight of water held at Boulder Dam. Two minor earthquakes al- ready have happened. Others are expected before the whole of Mead Lake has been filled. Expert opinion does not predict shocks or subsid- ence serious enough to harm the dam itself. That possibility was considered carefully in advance and was dismissed. What is expected is that many square miles of Nevada and Arizona will be bent downward a little, like sagging bedSpring under the sleeper's weight. What interests the seismologists is just how much this bending will be and whether 1t will be only a bend or will be punctuated by earthquakes, as though a bedspring snapped. All of which has interest for inhabi- tants of Manhattan Island, perhaps the most heavily loaded mountain top anywhere on earth.
 No one seems to have made an accurate survey of the tons of stone and steel piled on this rocky ridge now almost buried by its bordering rivers. A half billion tons may be a minimum. Compared with the weight of the island itself, this is almost nothing, but earth forces are delicately balanced. If adjustment is accurate enough a penny will tip up a scale able to weight locomo- tive, and Boulder Dams two earth quakes show the balance of earth flores poised no Jess precisely. Were 1t possible to take off all Manhat- tan's skyscrapers for an hour and then to put them back again, engi- neering instruments almost certainly are accurate enough to measure the upward and downward surges of the rocks.
 Our salvation is not flrmness but hexibility. Nature will not tolerate rigidity, even in the hills. Fortunate ly, all earth strata get plenty of bending practice. A widespread rainstorm may load millions of square miles of porous soil with al-

Charles Lathrop Pack

Surely everyone is more or less familiar with the name of Charles Lathrop Pack. No man in the last twenty years has done more for forestry conservation than he has. Himself the son of Michigan lumberman he lived to see the day when he could, mainly through his own efforts, persuade thousands of Americans to plant millions of trees. During the World War he was responsible for the 5000 ,000 "War gardens" which dotted this nation and which enabled the nation to send so much foodstuff to the warning nations
 His appeal for home gardens shortly after we entered the war in 1917 and It's results have never been equalled in house. hold response. Right after the war MT. Pack worked on plans for reforesting the devastated war areas of Europe. He himself donated millions of seeds of American trees, no doubt many of which in the eighteen years since have flour ished and become fair-sized trees. In 1922 he founded the American Tree As sociation with son and devoted him. self quite completely to it's work which was to encourage tree-planting all over the United States.
 During the Washington Bicentennial celebration in 1882 the association prob ably achieved it's most material success when it is estimated 27000,00O trees of all descriptions were planted through out this nation. It was mainly through MT. Packs energy and his appeals that the tree-planting campaign reached such high figures as these. The famous tree shelter belt in the Middle West was another Pack enterprise which, we feel sure, will in the future be wor- thy monument to his vision and enter prise. Oddly enough his fortune was founded on timberlands which enabled him later to establish the Cleveland Trust Company, this city having become his Adopted home.
 We sincerely trust that his very vast irl-

The death of Congressman William P. Connery, Jr., of Lynn, Mass, comes as a shock to his legislative colleagues at Washington. It also removes from public life one of the most active of our national lawmakers who were interested in good legislation for labor. AS chairman of the House Labor Committee Representa- tive Connery held one of the most i'm portant posts in Congress. His untimely death will make it necessary'to shift the lines somewhat to find a worthy success sor and one who will devote the time and energy that he did to his tasks. His career has been quite notable and inter- esting one His father was originally a vaudeville actor who later became mayor of Lynn. Connery himself was well edu- cated and trained for law, but abandoned his career for vaudeville where he teamed with the daughter of his fathers one- time vaudeville partner and later married her. He was also veteran of the Yan- kee Division and served 19 months in France.
