BY HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, June 21.-Supreme Court
Clerk Edward Murray is looking for
man who is an expert typist and
stencil cutter-fast, accurate and in

said, can make close to $4,000 a year
on piece work basis.
The death of c.. w. Dobbins, who
for number Of years cut the stem

from the lower courts for use on
appeal, has made the opening.

Ina Tax Commission was in the Of

Carolina, which went to the U. S.
Supreme court and in which the
proper and approved method of fig
uring rail income taxes was laid
down by the highest court of the
land.
He said the Southern and the State
of South Carolina are about to get
tangled up in just such a case. He

AlRPORTS

1t is manifest that we face the neces-
sity of large addition to our airport
facilities as an important factor IN the
national defense program. Defense or
no defense we should need a contlnu-
Gus expansion in this direction to pro
vide for the inevitable growth IN COM
mercial and private aviation. But 1t Is
important to have a clear policy for
system of governmentally constructed
ports designed mainly for defense and
their use by private parties.
We spent several hundred millions of
dollars of public money in constructing
the Panama Canal. partly for our own
defense and partly for commercial use,
and we charge all commercial users tolls
for passage We have spent, perhaps,
twice as much ON canaliZation of inland
waterways for use of which we charge
no tolls And We have spent further
enormous sums on highways which are
toll free to all who care to use them.
Thus, in the case of international tran
sportaton, we practically SubsldlZe mo-
tor and barge traffic while we make
intercoastal shipping pay its way in US
ing the. canal.
Air transportation is the latest entry
into the competitive field and no one
can assume to place limits on the scope
of its activities as rival to older agen-
cieS. Elementary fairness requires that
it should pay its way in using publicly
constructed airports, just as in the case
of the Panama Canal. There should be
no injection Of subsidies open or hid
den, in the case. Some years ago the
question was raised as to whether the
Panama Canal tolls should not be in
creased TO cover the true cost of the
canal as commercial agency, rs the al
location of the capital cost for defense
purposes had been excessive and should
be modified. In the case of airports con-
structed with an eye mainly to military
use, the capital and maintenance costs
will have to be allocated carefully, so
as to determine the proper contribution
of private and commercial users to total
costs.
The time to settle the policy in this
respect is at the start, and the principle
underlying that policy should be made
quite clear

HERE'S EVIDENCE THAT
THERE'S REASON TO BOOST

Tt is evident that Imperial Valley is
taking a resolution these days that
henceforth there will be more boosting
and less knocking in our own discus
sions Of our own community.
Is the resolution warranted? Is there
anything to boast about?
We think there is There are plenty
of facts to carry out the idea. But let's
see what someone else thinks.
Here is a letter to the Post-Press from
Leslie E. Moore, Los Angeles farm land
broker He says:
Il wish to express my thanks to you
for the advertising service you have
rendered me within the last month and
say to you that through the ads | have
been running in your paper | have sold
several properties around Ell Centro.
One lust escrOwed is the Mrs. Regina
Cohen eighty acres north and west OF
Imperial, for q consideration OF $4,000.
The buyer should be q welcome addition
TO the many graduates of agricultural
colleges to come to Imperial Valley. His
name is H. H. Giles.
AZ also wish to say that my business
proves my contention that Imperial Val
lev land is the best investment of any
farm land in the United States today
and / do not mean to exclude Iowa,
either"
High praise, indeed. from man whose
business puts him in good position
to know what he's talking about.
Imperial Valley is indeed glad to well
come the new farm owner. The valley
needs more resident, trained farmers
Once they are here, we can show them
what future Imperial Valley holds in
store 70 get them here, we must tell
them.
Imperial Valley has every reason for
confidence in its own futurei
The valley has every reason for pride
in its achievements to date!
Most of US know these things, and
know the reasons. Let US, then, use
them when we talk to outsiders about
our valley.

A MOTION PICTURE IN
COMMUNITY SERVICE

This is an unusual editorial.
1t is written without the knowledge or
consent of the publisher, Paul jenkins.
1t will see print only because he has been
and continues to be an extremely busy
man right now, too busy to see every
item that goes into the paper. 1t repre-
sents the honest opinion of subordi-
nate.
For II months Mr.. Jenkins has utiliZ-
ed most of his spare time taking motion
pictures. He visited every corner of I'M
perial Valley. He went into packing
sheds and harvest fields He nosed the
lens of his camera into industrial plants
and power houses.
Wednesday night a large group of Ell
Centre civic leaders saw the result. 1t
is a film that takes more than an hour
TO show, beautiful presentation in full
color of Imperial Valley life. Every i'm
aginabe phase of activity is covered.
The film must be seen to be appreciated
Those who have seen it are unanimous
in their applause.
Now preparations are under way to
show the film in large cities on the
coast, to select audiences. 1t may be
shown in eastern centers of population.
1t will do Imperial Valley incalculable
good.
This is the kind of community service
of which the staff of this newspaper is
proud. 1t costs money, it takes unending
time and pains, but in the final analysis,
it is worth it. For it helps Imperial Val
ley.

MODERN HOUSES

One of the latest experiments in Am
erican homes-and by the way this is a
field in which we are leading the world
has two notable innovations.
First, three of the four walls are built
of glass brick, admitting daylight freely
without glare.
Second, the interior partitions do not
bear any weight, as that is taken care
of by steel reinfOrcements in the floors
and the ceilings. AS a result, it is pos
sble to vary the number and shape of
rooms simply by moving around the
partitions-a good deal like moving the
furniture.
Some of the partitions, too, are made
with bookcases and closets attached
There may be merit in that although
the question naturally arises why clos
cts and bookcases themselves shouldn't
be separate units to be placed wherever
it is convenient
Some day the so-caled head of the
house will reach home in the early eve
ming to find that during his absence his

The Indignation of Americans a
seeing certain persons trying to I'M
port prejudices and hatreds from
abroad and seeking to fasten the
goose-step on the United States, IS
natural. but it should be restrained.
Those people of German descent
who have been SO thoughtless and
so irresponsible as to foster these
movements are a very small min
ority of the German-descended pop
ulation of the United States. They
are loud and demonstrative, out
they are not representative Of the
Germanic people who have made so
splendid a contribution TO the up
building of the United States.
No one should be more resentiul
of this loud minority than the hon
est and admirable people who have
never hesitated, for several genera
tions, to throw their weight deci-
sively ON the side of freedom and
democracy. The antics Of the uni
formed, goose-stepping hate-mon-
gers casts an undeserYed reflection
on them.

Dissetts the News

There then faced the American
State Department the duty Of con-
tinuing to keep the record clear;
of showing that America refuses to
admit that its treaty rights or COM
mercial opportunities can be abro-
gated by force, and of maintaining
its position as to the sanctity of
treaties generally and the necessity
ior peaceful settlements of inter-
national disputes.
This does not mean that America
is going to fight Japan or any
body else. It does mean, as the
state Department sees it, that the
straightest path to a peaceful, or
derly world is best followed by sup
porting lawful activities abroad and
by objecting to forceful interference
with those activities.

reason to be proud of its citizens of
German descent. During the World
War. almost to a man they passed
the acid test of loyalty.
Today they are not less loyal, but
more, for the tyranny abroad which
has the impudence to demand their
allegiance is a more bitter one than
ever a kaiser dared impose on a
proud people.
Do not be deceived by the antics
of a rabid few. The vast bulk of
American citizens of German de-
scent will be found loyal today as
in the past to freedom, and to the
land which is now, and in most
cases has been for generations their
own.
