lately.
Presents Plan
Upon request by the bondholders
for proposals, Meyer presented what
he termed "the best plan which the
district can carry and which will
best protect the bondholders' in
vestment."
Following Meyers presentation,
Field declared he had intended
pre- senting a counter proposal but
would withhold it until it could
be properly considered by the new
advisory board.
In closing the meeting, Chairman
Bradshaw made a strong appeal
for immediate action on a perman-
ent program.
Imperial Valley doesn't wish to
chisel out of any load it can carry,
he said I'VE want a practical pro-
gram and expect to carry it out.
We have made mistakes. We have
had political trials and tribula-
tionS. Today we are united, and
realize with you, that both the val
ley and the bondholders will suffer
more and more injury SO long as
this problem remains unsolved."
Except for a short. sporadic cross
fire between sides in relation to
the non-payment of bond interest
coupons, the meeting was said to
be the calmest of its kind yet held.
In the interchange of arguments in
this only outward skirmish of the
day. Fields and Milo Bekins of the
bondholders crossed verbal swords

TURKEY MORE THAN
HOLIDAY MEAT

Turkey is one or the great AM
erican specialties, but too much
devoted to the holiday season
alone; it should be an an-year-
round food. So says Louise c.
Struve, of the division of home
economics in the University of
California college of agriculture
on the Davis campus. She points
out, however, that it is unlikely
that most people will eat turkey
except when in public eating places,
unless at Thanksgiving or Christ
mas.

Book Reviews
BY Bernice Finnegan

Madame Curie, biography by
Eve Curie, translated by Vincent
Sheen.
This understanding and inspiring
story of the life of Marie Curie, one
of the greatest scientists of our
age, is told by her younger daugh-
ter. You will meet Marie first as
Manga an unassuming, quiet Polish
girl in a struggling professors fam
lily, in Warsaw. You will admire
her unselfishness and generosity in
working for two long tedious years
as a governess so that Bronya, heI
oldest sister, might attend Medical
School. When Marie was finally
able to 60 to Paris, herself as a stu
dent, you will rejoice with her in
her passionate happiness in her
work. Ideally happy years of her
marriage, companionship and re-
search with Pierre Curie followed
years during which they, together,
discovered radium and gave to the
world perhaps the greatest Gift of
our time. Lonely years of research
and hard work, without Pierre, were
to come. You will marvel at this
quiet genius of a woman whom
fame could not change. Her beauti-
full character and passionate inter
est in her work is an inspiration to
all of us.
Rumbin Galleries by Booth Tark-
ington.
Booth Tarkington's knowledge of
art and the men who deal in it is
deep and wide. In this novel, a live
ly and penetrating revelation of
people and art, he uses that know
ledge with telling effect.
Rumbin the art dealer whose am
bition is to move his galleries up
town to fifty-seventh Street, is a
vivid and unforgettable creation,
with his immense bulk his I'M
placement accent, his encyclopedia
understanding at once of human
nature and Of tricks Of his trade.
To his dusty little shop one day
wanders a young man in search Of
a job. Howard Cattlet's only assets
are an "aristocratic dumb face"
and a cutaway, classmates we'd
ding forced him to buy. What Rum
bin needs in his business are ex-
actly the cutaway and young Mr..
