Biekering Holds
Back Progress

Workmen again are spreading gravel
on Ninth street facing the county court
house in Ell Centro-when they ought
to be oiling and hard-surfacing the street,
if not paving it. They are not making
more permanent repairs because the coun-
ty government and the city government
cannot decide whose is the responsibility
It seems to us that the responsibility is
the public's, and thus is the business of
both city and county.
The city of Ell Centre would benefit,
and the county as whole would be bet
ter off, if the streets around the court
house on all but the Main street side,
which is already paved were oil surfac-
ed Driving there at the present time
is like going over roler-coaster in
which the bumps are about six inches
apart
1t does not seem too much to ask that
the city and county get together and iron
out their differences here--and inciden-
tally iron out the streets. -

Auction Philosophy

Folks, we used to have 900 dairys
here in the valley Now three to
four hunderd. Used to milk around
forty thousand COWS. Now it's
around ten to twelve thousand and
getting less year. These dairymen
get paid every eight days for their
butter fat, probably 1900 families
lived off of the dairy industry in it's
hey day in Imperial valley. Now
probably four to five hundred. In
the cid days three to four hundred
thousand dollars was paid to the
dairymen every month. That money
was spent in Imperial Valley. 1t
was a continual stream coming in
of cash money that made business
good. When We lose our dairy busi-
ness we go into seasonal crops,
feast in harvest time, famine be
tween times.

Bruce Cation Says:
- Economic Issues and the Churehs Rule

bers of these churches stand on
these matters.
1t will be interesting to see what
conclusions are reached; even more
interesting, however is the fact that
the vote is being taken at all. For
these churchmen have agreed to
debate and vote on the most vital
ly controversial issues of the day.
They certainly cannot be accused
of remaining aloof from life's ma
jor problems-or Of being afraid
to pick up a hot potato.
The first question that will oc-
cur to most people, probably, is;
Are these matters, properly, any
of a church's business? Is it neces
sary, or even advisable, for a church
to take a stand on them? What
have such things to do with pure
religion?
An excellent answer is contained
in the current issue of Advance,
the Congregationalists' monthly ma
gazine.
The affirmation: 4 am come
that they might have life,' and the
prayer: Give us this day our daily
bread are adequate warrant for
every effort we make to achieve
economic justice and economic sec
urity," says Advance. THE struggle
TO end the dominion of poverty, de-
stitution, and want is basically re-
ligiouS struggle. 1t is an attempt
to make the will of a just and lov-
ing God prevail among men,"
Nor is that all. For, continues
the magazine:
1.-THE abundant life means the
communion of the soul with God,
but it also means a healthy body,
a sound mind, hope, ambition, peace.
The child exploited in the cotton
fields, with the burden of poverty
upon his malnourished body, starv-
ed OF beauty, finds God but re-
mote hope and often sAes Him
not at all. Men and women working
long hours, receiving poor wages,
torn constantly with the fear of
eviction and loss of job, harried
by debt and worried about medical
bills, are often too bewildered even
to wonder about God"
And lastly:
THE questions of deep import
are always those on which tere
is the most vigorous difference of
opinion. And the religion which is
realistic and which goes deeply into
the perplexity of any generation
must of necessity deal with those
questions"
