NOTHING TO COUNT ON

WHEN A PLAYER passes a
hand on which he should make an
opening bid, most anything can en-
sue. A uncomfortable opponent
with a weak holding may stick in
a psychic and, unless the vulner-
able side is on it's toes, may pre-
vent nice game. Of course, the
side may get into its best contract
anyway, in spite of the bad pass,
but a correct final contract is moth

ton has been taken along the way.

IDENTIFICATION CARD
WITH PHOTO RECOMMENDED
(Tulare Advance-Register)

Never has there been greater need in
the United States for a law requiring
all citizens to carry an Identification
card which includes a photograph of the
bearer.
No single act would do as much to
prevent crime and aid in the capture of
criminals as the compulsory carrying
of Photographic identification papers
similar to the visa" or passport re-
quired of all persons travelling in for
eign lands.
Valueless without photographic like
ness of the individual, such identified
tion cards would be an instant and posi-
tive means of ending the ALIASES" of
wrong dOers for all time. Proper infoi~
nation filled in to show places of resi-
dence and mandatory registration of
changes of address, occupation, criminal
conviction, relief or welfare subsidies and
other authentic and pertinent informa-
tiOn by including finserprintS on auto
chiSelers, alien undesrableS, agitators,
double-dolers and others instantly on the
spot and make their apprehension by the
police an easy and certain matter.
The law-abiding citizen, on the other
hand, would be greatly aided in many
respects by constant proof of his iden-
tity as a law abiding and responsible
person.
The California motor vehicle depart
ment has taken step in the right direc-
ton would put practically all criminals,
registration slips. Fingerprints alone
however, are not enough for instant
Identification. A photograph is vitality
essential. And the plan should be adopt
ed not only in the state of California,
but uniformly throughout the nation.

lice
Imperial Valley press., 1938-09-20

No American can read the foreign
news these days without asking
himself some searching questions
about his duty to the cause of DEM
ocracy and freedom.
That Europe'S freedom and dem
ocracy are in dire straits is too
tragically clear to miss. The Strug-
gle may come tomorrow or it may
be postponed for few weeks; that
il is bound to come before very long
now seems certain.
We cannot be unmoved by this
spectacle. We have in our keeping
the brightest, strongest flame of
liberty that burns anywhere on the
globe today; and as the lights flick
er out in Europe we are compelled
to ask ourselves just what our duty
to the world calls on us to 10.
Yet if we cannot avoid asking
that question, We must be extreme
~ careful about how We answer il.
Democracy and freedom are in
deed in peril abroad; but we would
be making the graVest error of our
history if we assumed that we were
obligated TO go abroad to help them
We do indeed have aduty to per-
form-but it is a duty that we can
perform only by staying at home.
What better thing could we do
than to keep democracy and free
dom alive within our own borders?
How could we serve those magnifi-
cent causes better than by preserV-
ing them intact on one continent?
What more could we do for the
world than demonstrate, In our
own gigantic laboratory, that the
way of liberty brings men and
women more happiness than any
other way?
The war peril in Europe makes
it more than ever important that
we do just those things. We can
Go them only by resolving TO stay
out of any war that Europe may
concoct.
History moves in roundabout
way, and men learn things very
slowly. Yet in the long run reason
will prevail if it has chance to
make itself heard. The people of
this world do not want war, nor
do they want the eternal suspicion
enmity, and rivalty between ma
tions that lead to war. They want
peace, a chance to make a living.

though he earns $4,000 a week. A laborer
is worthy of his hire, of course, at any
figure. But when the figure reaches

YOUNG MAN = THERE'S
A JOB WAITING FOR YOU

Much has been said about the prob
lem of young men and young women
finding work So much has been said
and printed, that most of us have be-
come convinced almost insurmOuntable
barriers lie between young high school
or college graduate and job.
But the assumption that jobs are
scarce is only half true. They may be
fairly scarce-but on the other hand,
there are thousands of vacancies just
begging to be filled. The biggest prob
lem seems to be that the young men and
young women have not been trained that
they must evince, in seeking work, the
very characteristics which will be neceS-
sary to hold down a job. We specifically
refer to energy, determination, persever-
ance, ability to convince employers of
their capacity and willingness. We
might sum it all up as ''umph".
The best example is that of an Ell
Centre employer. For months, he had
been on the verge of retaining two addi-
tional statesmen. But none came in apply
ing for work. 1T occurred to me-" rea-
soned the employer, that if, in Ell Cen
tro, there were not two young men with
enough 'umph' to at least come around
seeking work, then | had better look else
where"
In Los Angeles he consulted the per-
sonnel offices of several kindred but
much larger firms and obtained from
each dozen names of applicants. Inter
estingly enough, four such lists included
the name of a man whom we shall call
Smith. Three lists included the name of
a man whom we shall call Jones. The
Ell Centran placed an ad in a paper, and
among the very first to answer were
Smith and Jones. In arranging inter-
views, Smith and Jones demonstrated
eagerneSs for immediate interviews and
made early appointments for the next
morning-just as early as the Ell Cen
tran could see them.
OF the twenty applicants thus inter-
viewed, only one-fourth had been able
to find temporary employment while
seeking ''the kind of job they wanted"
All the rest were sitting idly on the side
lines waiting until something came
their way"
Only five demonstrated the necessary
requirements for making at least fair
success. Smith and Jones were, of course,
in the front rank. Both had found tenn
porary employment. Both were next
up on several employment managers
lists. Both were on their toes and both,
when not occupied by their part time
jobs went from business house to busi-
ness house, insisting that they could de-
liver the goods. AS result neither had
been out of work for more than two
weeks-and then only because of circum-
stances beyond their control.
Yes there are jobs for those who have
the determination to get them.
Possibly the real trouble is that the
young folk haven't been properly train
ed and prenared
