stars for the slickers.
Miller has ordered his muscle
men to the field at 8 p. m. al
though the game does not start
until $3.50. "They will be put to
milking Bud Kelly's cows to get
in shape" he said, showing true
craftsmanship. Kelly is head of
the Paxton Pappas.

Cross aid and preparedness into
virtually every home in Imperial
Valley.
Hugh L. Keating, president of the
Ell Centre chapter, has outlined
some of the major projects being
sponsored by the local body.
Commencing two years ago, First
Aid training was made available
to citizens here by establishing a
series Of public classes, free to ev-
eryone'Who cared to take advantage
of the opportunity. A total of 225
people have already had the ad-
vantage of this training under Red
Cross supervision. Twenty lay in
structors have become proficient
enough to assist in the teaching of
others in process of training. There
are now five classes in training with
other groups scheduled to receive
instruction after the first of the
year. An instructors course will be
included in the new schedule. Keno
Myers is chairman of the First Aid
committee.
Another activity embraced in the
Red Cross program is a Farm Home
Accident Prevention campaign, con-
Quoted under the supervision of
Mrs. Elton Christian. Work is car
ried on by distributing check lists
to school children who take them
home where they are checked for
hazards by the parents.
Two first aid stations have been
n1 n1Na &c
located at Heber and the other at
Miller's Service Station, at the foot
of the Mountain Springs grade.
Last year a first aid unit was pro-
Vided at the county fair grounds
and proved an effective agency of
public service to the thousands who
attended the annual Imperial Val
ley event The station will again be
established there this year, accord
ing to officials of the valley chap
terS.
Preparedness
The Disaster Preparedness pro-
gram Of the Red Cross is an out
standing feature. An efficient syS-
tenn has been worked out whereby
the Red Cross would go into action
within few moments following any
major disaster affecting this area.
Provisions have been made to han
die First Aid, transportation and
communications, including treat
ment Of injured, providing of food
and clothing and the utilizing of
amateur radio sets, in case the dis
trict was cut off from the outside
world. Charles Delp, chairman of
the committee, has revealed that
all of his forces have been trained
TO instant mobilization to meet any
emergency.
The far reaching scope of the Red
Cross program also includes aid to
war veterans and civilian relief; a
home service department for the
general public; conducting of Life
Saving classes annually for one
Seet, by expert instructors; pro-
curing of donors for blood trans
fusions; encouragement of Junior
Red Cross activities in the schools
and many other services.

To find the answers to these and

Where Are The Favored Few?

When all Is said and DONE Americans do enjoy
many things which citizens Of other nations do not
cannot have. Most of these things taken for
granted in this country and instead Of contributing
an abundance Of happiness and contentment to our
people they become commonplace. Take for instance,
the radio-we hear splendid programs, yet give
no thought to the fact that If residents Of
some other nation would not be enjoying such
pleasure
Then there is the automobile, seventy percent Of
which owned in the United States only thirty
percent in the rest of the world There is auto
mobile in the United States for every 43 persons, and
nine of ten farms have motor
OF total registration of AZ, 100000 automobiles in
the world at the beginning of 1898 the American
people accounted for 2665OOO0
In this country ownership Of car also has be-
a casual affair But elsewhere in the civilized
world with but few exceptions, the ownership of
is mark Of wealth privilege.
Germany has to every So people. Italy
has to every 1O5. Japan has to every 526
people and Soviet Russia has one to every 686.
Yet there are people who want to place the Unit
ed States under government which has been unable
to produce conditions under which all people
enjoy a few Of the modern conven-
fences which have. 1t Is fortunate, indeed, that
American system encourages freedom of private
industrial enterprise which has brought about condi
tons under which we may take advantage of many
fine things which provide both luxury and educa-
ton. Who said the United States is the land of
privilege to only favored few?
