ATTEND A CHURCH
NEXT SUNDAY

The churches of Ell Centro, uniting in
a drive to encourage greater Sunday
worship among the people Of the city, are
engaged in an entirely worthy endeavor.
This becomes especially apparent when
you consider that only approximately
one out of ten persons in Ell Centre at
tend any church.
With too many people, staying away
from church is nothing more than habit
1t is a habit which, on occasion, they
should make a definite effort to break.
In any we'll rounded life knowledge
of religion and a certain measure of
spiritual thought is absolutely necessary
Without it, gap is left in human nature
which nothing else can fill. With it, there
is completeness to life with nothing
else can give.
Especially in the family group where
children are growing up is spiritual guild
ance of Importance There too much of
materialism can do great damage-and
no adult can expect his child to welcome
things in which he himself, shows no
interest.
The important thing is not creed or
religious tenet, it is the habit of thought.
The spiritual uplift, the forgetfulness Of
self that any church instills is the thing
which helps most in everyday life.
For our own sakes, and for the sake of
the churches, let us all resolve now to
attend some church next Sunday

SERVING SLIGHTLY SPOILED
HAM AND EGGS

1t begins to look like originatOrS of the
California funny-mOney pension plan are
not yet through obtaining 80 cents
month from each of the million or so old
sters in the state who so trustingly donat-
ed to the cause in the firm belief that, for
the rest of their life, they would receive
$50 every Thursday morning.
In Los Angeles Thursday officials of
the pension scheme organization an
nounced that they would revise the plan
slightly TO include a state banking sys-
TEN to deal in $50 warrants, and then
would attempt to force a special election
at which the plan will be considered
again.
So, for many weeks yet, those actively
supporting the plan probably will be
paying additional thousands of dollars
into the pension organizations Golfers
all in pennies.
The only objection to an attempt to
revive the soundly defeated Ham and
Egg plan lies in the fact that it does take
money, regardless of what small amounts,
from those who need it most. In the
minds of most observers there is no
thought that the thing can ever be passed
at a California election, special or regu
lar, after the larruping it took Tuesday.
Our biggest hope in this direction is
that proponents of the plan do not emu
late the single tax people, making their
scheme an annual election question in the
state, annually defeated and annually
revived.
There is little possibility that special
election can be forced upon the state just
so this plan can be defeated again. There
is great possibility, however, that in at
tempting to force a special election, Of
ficials of the pension organization will
take in donations thousands Of dollars
the old people could better use in some
other way.

It least deserves prayerful conSl-
deration.
Henry Goddard Leach recently
pointed out in Forum Magazine that
our times of greatest immigration
nave been our times of greatest
prosperity. and that cutting down
on immigration did not save us
from the great depression of 1929.
Perhaps some relaxation of our
barriers could be accomplished
without making our economic sit
uation worse; perhaps the infusion
of new blood might even be q
help.
In any case, the refugee situation
is one which we cannot dismiss
offhand. If we can do anything
we should; and we ought to study
the situation very thoughtfully be-
fore deciding that we can't.

TUO-Price System
IFS Been Tried

WASHINGTON.-NeW York has
a two-price system. Boston has
another. In each city milk is sold
to poor people at much less than
The regular retail price.
The Boston plan, under which
WPA families buy milk at two
cents quart while most Boston
families pay y or l3 cents a
quart, operates on a substantial
federal subsidy The New York
plan involves no subsidy except the
municipal contribution of superVis
ion.
In Boston the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation, which
ordinarily only buys surplus COM
modities from farmers to give them
away through state and local agen-
cies to those on direct RELIEF, buys
milk at the Glass l pric9-Which
means most of it at IL cents a
quart-and gives it 10 the city. The
city pays two cents quart to COM
mercial milk companies for pas
teUriZing and bottling, Whereupon
the milk is available-to WPA fam
lies only-at TWO cents. Behind ali
this is a federal effort to hold up
the Glass I fluid milk price for
New England farmers. Milk classed
under federal order as surplus -
the same kind of miik-is sold at
less than three cents a quart. The
oretically this milk might be bought
at such q price and sold to the
poor at that price plus a possible
three cents for processing and dis
tribution cost.
IN New York the formal deliver
ed price for milk is 1884, cents a
quart and the store price runs be-
tween II and l3 cents, usually set
Ting at l2. But if you have a
certain blue Identification card, you
can go to one Of the 10 city milk
depots and buy practically the
same quart-a shade less butterfat
at eight cents. This also is Glass
iluid milk. Farmers get 5.3 cents
a quart for il, which means 6.25
or 65 cents delivered in the city.
Milk distributing corporations buy
it and deliver it to the depots for
sale at eight cents to the blue ca}l
holders.
To get a card the head of a
family must sign a statement that
he IS unable to buy milk at the
regular store price, state the num-
Der of people in his family and the
number eli welfare or home relief.
The way it works out, most of the
depot customers are persons are dl-
rect relief Of WPA. Cards must be
renewed every three months.
Eepots open at $50 a m. and re-
main open until $50. A truck
drives up and unloads trays of milk
bottles. An attendant passes out
the milk to the people standing in
lint. Another checks milk cards to
see how much each customer is
entitled to.

Bruce Cation Says
= World Refugee Situation Demands Study

It would be interesting to know
Just how many of us who now live
in America are living here because
of some acute wave Of tyranny or
persecution in Europe.
A few generations ago, each one
of the periodic up-surges of re-
preston on the continent sent
flood of new immigrants to Amer
ica People came over by the thou
sand. fleeing from every form OF
autocracy: America received them
gladly. and was SO proud Of the
ability TO take them in that a Dem
ocratic party platform in 1856
bcasted that the country was the
asylum Of the oppressed of every
nation
But times have changed. The
oppression goes on-in forms which
make some Of the 10Th century
abuses look mild - but Americas
gates are closed. Under the cur
rent immigration law. only a small
fraction of the host that fodmerly
came is admitted. The most that
can enter in any one year now is
10000.
Now that immigration law was
not passed hastily. Americans have
had a good many years to observe
the workings of the melting pot,
and it was perfectly obvious that in
many ways it was not working so
we'll When the tide of immigrants
was running around 100000 a year,
it seemed as if fundamental traits
in American character and Ameri-
can life were in danger of being
submerged, and there was reason
to fear that the nation was taking
in new arrivals faster than it could
hope 10 digest them.
So restrictions were voted, with
the approval of the vast majority
Of Americans, and there is small
chance that a return to the old era
of unrestricted immigration would
win much approval. Yet we might
as we'll realize that we are facing
a new situation in Europe, and
that both our humanity and our
traditions require us to examine
it very carefully.
For the refugee situation abroad
is worse than ever before. The
great authoritarian states are calm
