TO MOLD MEN INTO
BETTER CITIZENS

Amos Alonzo Stagg, beginning his
51st year as a football coach, might have
retired on an $4,000 a year pension from
the University of Chicago if he had
wanted to, but instead he goes on coach
ing at the little College Of the Pacific in
California.
"As long as I'm able" he said, 1 will
continue as an active coach doing what
can to mold men into better citizens"
1t would be hard for a man, regard
less of his walk of life, to express a
nobler ambition. If more coaches adopt
ed this aim, ito mold better citizens,
as their primary goal and made winning
the game secondary to development of
spOrtsmanship among their charges,
there would be better citizens among

THE FLORIDA CANAL
christian Science Monitor)

The house committee on rivers and
harbors last month approved the bill
proposing to authorize construction of
the Florida ship canal at an estimated
cost of $780, 100000
Edwin A. Menninger, publisher of the
Stuart (Fla.) News, however, addresses
broadside to members of congress ask
ing them to vote against the proposal
on the grounds that the canal project
would constitute raid ON the treasury,
would cost S1,200,000,000 instead of
$200,000,00 to complete, would drown
out millions of acres of farm lands by
raising ground water levels, would du-
plicate a canal already existing for small
craft, and would not benefit larger ships
because it would allegedly take as long
to go through the long canal at low speed
as to go around the Florida peninsula
In this controversy it is well to remem-
ber that Houston and New Orleans may
be more interested than some parts of
Florida. In fact, it is case of Jackson
vile being for the canal, opposed by the
southern tip of the state, which would
lose some steamers that now call at
Miami ON their way to the Gulf of Mex
leo. At any rate, while other states pom
der what part of the huge cost would
fall to them, Mr.. Mennnger's protest is
reminder that not even all of Florida
is for the canal.

HOME OWNERSHIP FOR
CITY GOVERNMENT

For more years than most women
have birthdays, the FL Centre city gov

dent who spends his whole life paying
rent for home that is not quite up to
his station in life. The city council has
done admirable service during the last
four years in encouraging E. Centrans
10 own their own homes: yet for reasons
of economy and lack of financing the
city government itself has gone on rent
ing its quarters.
All that is by way of being ended now
Up for consideration Of ways and means
is plan to build new city hall, for
which the city will pay on rent-like
basis with ownership assured at the end
of comparatively short period of years.
For starting the plan toward fruition,
the city council is to be congratulated
once again. 1t is to be hoped their eff
forts meet with success.
There are few communities as pros
porous and modern as Ell Centre which
do not have spacious quarters for the
municipal government 1t has been one
subject of unpleasant comment by many
visitors to this city that the city hall
and appurtenant offices are housed in
a rented building shared by business and
other offices, and which was never in
tended in the first place for city hall
purposes.
El Centro social and business activi-
ties have outgrown the pioneering stage.

SMOKELESS FACTORIES

The fact that our taX-slashng neigh

tlcance on California's pleas for govern

CONGRATULATIONS TO
CALEXICO WOMEN

CaleXico women, members of the Wom-
ems Improvement club there, this week
demonstrated what perseverance cou-
pied with a firm belief in their own COM
munity and its future, can do. The occa-
sion was dedication of their new club
house, a beautiful modern structure
comparable to any in Imperial Valley.
The functions of a good women's club
are essential to the success of any COM
munity Where no such organization eX-
lists, you will almost invariably find
business dull, people uninteresting and
homes drab. Where such club does
exist and is active there seems always
TO be an influence which enlivens all
other branches of community life.
The Calexico Women's Improvement
club has always been a leader in lmpe-
rial Valley progress. How worthy it is
of the name it bears is best demonstrate
ed in the clubhouse it has just completed
and which is dedicated this week. Club
women from other valley towns and
men as well-for that matter-should
be interested in the development.
To the women of CaleXico full praise
is due for their achievement.
