even an earthquake and cyclone

Before you start. it's helpful to make
a list of all the things which must be
done-packing. buying tickets, look
ing up trains, kissing people good-by
and getting your extra shirt from the
Oriental laundryman This may sound
like prosaic advice, but 1t will save YOU
from boarding a bicycle train only to
make the sad discovery that you left
your bicycle back home.
Know where you're going, how to
get there! Any railroad station en-
ploye can tell you countless amusing
stories about people who, believe it or
not, didn't have the slightest idea. A
man in Chicago once mistook the San

against theft or loss, any they can be

scar tissue, so extensive that her
right arm was joined to her body.
Surgeons were able to replace
a portion of the scared skin in

crop is the tourists who pour
steady golden stream into our chan
nels of trade and commerce. And
the district with the finest winter
climate in America, is not getting
its share of that golden stream.
While the tourists are feeling their
way around through pea soup"
fogS along the coast, or coating
their lungs with smoke and CRIME
from a million smudge pots, and
vowing to go to Florida next winter,
we are basking in the golden sun
shine, breathing the clean. pure air
of the desert, and keeping very still
about it. Let's begin to tell the
world, weary of snow and sleet and
ice, of floods and dust-stroms and
blizzards that we have what they
are looking for here in the Valley
of The Sun, And that we are will
ing to share it with them.
You are probably wondering what
all this has to do with horticulture.
Well, it has great deal to do with
it. If we wish to attract a class of
winter residents who are able and
willing to pay their way, we must
offer them something more than
climate. We must offer them an
attractive and desirable community
in which to spend a few weeks or
few months. We must appeal to
their sense of beauty as well as to
their sense Of comfort In Cali
fornia Beauty pays dividends, not
only in soul satisfaction, but in good
hard American money.
Another thing we must do, is to
sell more of our own residents the
idea of establishing permanent
homes here. The Imperial Valley
needs more home owners. There
are too many people just camping
here. The deep foundation upon
which any permanent community
development must be built, is love
and pride of home. These articles
are not being sponsored by the To-
cal real estate board nor by the
chamber of commerce, but my dis
interested advice to every man who
has reasonably steady income is
this: If you do not own your home,
begin to plan now to do SO. You
owe it to yourself, to your family,
and to the community in which you
live. And when you have acquired
that home, firmly resolve that you
are going to make it, not the most
expensive, but the most attractive
home on your street. That you are
going to help to make your street
the most attractive street in town

Over the Back Fence

FRED AMES

There is an ancient adage which
adjures us to put our best foot
foremost. 1t is pretty good advice,
and as individuals most of us fol-
low it pretty closely, without think
ing very much about it. 1t is ma
tural for. us to wish to make the
best impression possible upon our
fellow men,, That is why the cos
metics business has become one of
our leading industries. But as a
community, do not believe that
the Imperial Valley has been fol-
lowing that ancient admonition. We
have not been putting our best foot
foremost, and it has cost US money,
and what. is of far greater impor-
tance, 1t has cost us, a part of our
normal self esteem as community.
The Imperial Valley is widely
known. OF the approximately one
hundred and thirty millions of peo-
pie living in these United States,
it is probable that at least one hun
dred millions of them, have heard
of the Imperial Valley of California.
! They have heard just two things
about the place. They have heard
that a lot of lettuce and canta-
loupes are produced here, and they
have heard that our normal sum-
mer temperature is about seventeen
degrees warmer than the place of
eternal torment. These widespread
rumorS are undoubtedly more or
less true. But they are not the
whole truth. They convey a very
one-sided and unfair picture of
the Imperial Valley. And we our
| selves are responsible for those ru-
mors. We have rather made it a
| point to boast of our high summer
temperatures. Ask almost any resi-
dent of the community if it doesn't
get pretty hot here in the summer
time, and he will reply emphatically,
'Ill tell the world it gets hot!'
And then he does proceed not
forgetting any of the narrowing de-
tails. Every victim of alcoholism
who succumbS during the summer
months, is chalked up as another
victim of the heat. Every time a
boy goes swimming and is drowned,
dispatches go to the four corners
of the world announcing that the
Imperial Valley heat has been re-
sponsible for another death. Moth
ing could be more unfair. Nothing
could be more injurious to the
reputation of the district as a place
in which to live and establish a
home.
Let's lay off that stuff. Let's Just
admit that it gets pretty hot here
in the summer time, and let it go
at that. And let's begin to concen-
trate upon telling the world the
unqualified truth, that the Imperial
Valley has the finest winter climate
in America.

Action on Import Speeded
By Roosevelt Crash Dream
Committee Spurred to Actiuity After
President Tells Them of Vision Of
accident at airport.

A presidential nightmare, in which
Washington Airport was the scene Of
an airplane crash SO terrible that It
was plainly visible from the windows
OF the White House, has resulted In
renewed efforts by congressional lead
ers to give the Capital larger and
more adequate landing field.
Acting at the direct request Of
President Roosevelt, the House Mill
tary Affairs and Public Buildings and
Grounds Committees will meet jointly
in executive session at 10 am. tomor-
row to make plans for speedy enact
ment of the Senate-approved bill for
development of municipal airport at
Camp Springs, Md.
The session was decided on yester-
day after q White House conference
in which Mr.. Roosevelt recounted his
nightmare to Chairman May OF the
Military Affairs Committee, Chairman
Lanham of the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds and Repre-
sentative Nichols Democrat, Of Okla
homa, secretary of the District Airport
SOtiiIillociOA.
Mr.. Roosevelt had the dream, it
was said, one night soon after the
recent airplane crash near Cleveland,
in which 10 lives were lost. After
detailing it to his congressional call
ers. he declared Washington should
have the best airport in the world
and urged them to do everything
possible to push through the pending
legislation.
Chairman May told the President
OF q scare" he experienced at the
local airport not long ago, when q
descending plane came dangerously
close to tearing the top of his auto
mobile.
If the Camp Springs site is to be
developed. it was pointed out after
the White House conference, the legis-
lation must be enacted at this ses-
sion Of Congress, as the present option
on the tract will expire before the
next session.
Chairman May will 60 before the
House Rules Committee early next
week. he said, to request a special
rule to give the airport measure
priority consideration.
Plans to fight this move were made
