Register System
Aids i'm Checking
On Jail Inmates

The task of checking prisoners in
and out of the Imperial county jail
entered a new phase recently with
the installation of an elaborate
register board.
Names Of The prisoners are en-
tered in the books as usual and in
addition@ares written on slips and
placed on tie register board in the
inIer. hall. !:
Every time a prisoner is taken
from the Jail for any purpose what
ever, the slip bearing his name is
pulled fronEthe board and a mark
er-used to ihdicate his absence from
the. accustomed place.
The new system was designed to
provide "a more accurate check Of
the prisoners whereabouts.

and pressing problems of United
States neutrality, voiced to the
nation his deliberate opinion" that
1887 would bring to the world mo
extensive war"
The worlds chief naval powers
at the same time were straining to
embark upon a construction race
which will increase greatly the
floating fighting forces of the
world and take many millions of
taxpayers money to finance.
The race started Immediately
upon expiration of the Washing
ton and London naval treaties at
midnight last night. Several pow
ers had jumped the gun last month
with announcement of shipbuild-
ing plans. Japan denounced the
two treaties a year ago because
she failed to obtain consent of
Britain and the u. S..to treaty
navy equal to their forces.

NEWS REVIEW
OF '36 MADE All
ROTARY MEET

At the beginning of the New
Year, the world faces an interna-
tional war psychology more serious
than at any time in the past dec
ade, declared Paul Jenkins, pub
Usher of the PoSt-Press in a re-
view of 1886 events before the
Thursday meeting of the Rotary
club.
jenkins was speaker of the day.
He claSSed as the most important
international news developments of
the past year, the increased war
tension in Europe, the growth OF
conflict between Communism and
dictatorship as exemplified by Fas-
cism, and the loss of prestige by
the League of Nations as a world
factor. The increased threat of
Japan in the Far East, the alliances
between Germany, Italy, Poland and
Japan, and the increased arma-
ment programs by Britain and this
country indicated, he said, high
pitch of war fear that might break
forth at any time and in almost
any part of the world.
Progress in the construction of
the All-American Canal, and the
increased trend of Imperial Valley
retail trade toward generalization
in El Centro were among the chief
local events, he said.
In the field of national events,
the most important he said, were
reelection of President Roosevelt,
completion of Boulder Dam, and
the reciprocal trade treaties with
other countries.
Earle Davis, new member, gave
his life history. M. J.lDowd, pres
ident, presided.

Valley Residents
To Get Preference
On Syphon Work

Unemployed residents of Imperial
county may count upon some meas
ure of prosperity early in the New
Year because they are to be given
the preference in the employment
created by the construction of sy-
phons in the Calexico area. This
particular phase of All American
canal construction will require a
year for completion.
Many residents who withStOod the
Inconvenience caused by working
at Imperial dam while there fam
lilies had to remain at home BIN other
sections of the county, said Chan
Livingston, head of the National
Unemployment service, will come
in for the work available closer
home.
Livingston expressed the hope
that the contractors to whom the
reclamation service Ultimately
awards the contracts, will begin
work Immediately and help relieve
the unemployment situation
Employment and labor in this
county were we'll equalized during
the fall and summer, Livingston

The influx of migratory workers,
tolled into Imperial county by

several months, complicated he un-
