IS IMPERIAL VALLEYS
CLIMATE CHANGING?

Perhaps il is Just the sudden advance
of cooling systems in home and office
that makes the summer seem cooler this
year than it was last, and that made 1t
seem cooler last year than the year be-
fore.
At any rate it does seem cooler 1t Is
hard for oldtimers who sweltered thru
torrid days 10, Is or 20 years ago to
realize that June is almost over, and
July almost here. 1t is hard for those
who were used to the summer exodus of
no more than five years ago to get used
to the fact that more and more people
are staying in Imperial Valley during
the summer-and like It.
Is the climate changing?
1t would be foolhardy for a layman
to attempt To answer a question that
might stump even the scientists. We
know only what we feel-and we like it.
Those who argue that the creation
of vast new bodies of water on and ad-
iacent to the desert will change the
climate are hard to answer, but it is
Just as hard for them to prove their
point The fact remains that within
a comparatively few years, great lakes
have been created where before only
narrow streams, or no streams at all,
flowed. There is Boulder Dam, and the
lake behind Parker Dam, and that behind
Imperial Dam There is an immense
reservoir being filled near Desert Center,
and the Metropolitan aqueduct carries
a huge supply of water where none was
known before. OF older standing, there
are Salton Sea ard the lake behind
Laguna Dam.
Another factor to be considered in
this interesting speculation is the spread
Of irrigated land. In Imperial Valley
the irrigated acreage is large, and is
growing gradually even now, on the
northern fringe Coachella's irrigated
areas will increase largely within a few
years from the All American canal, and
Imperial county'S Eastside Mesa will
add thousands of acres to irrigated lands
here. A time will undoubtedly come
when the west wind sweeping into I'm
perial Valley will blow all the way to
the Colorado across irrigated farms
with the single exception of that area
encompassed by the sand hills. Will the
west wind be less hot because of that?
Nobody can say.
Perhaps the climate is changing; pos
sibly it is not. One thing has been es-
tablished as fact: Imperial county is no
longer a place to be Stunned like death
in the summer time. For that, if for
nothing else, we can be thankful.

Henry Ford is not an intellectual.
'fhe world of books, the realms oil
abstract thought, are not MS

ed in differentiating between Ar
mold Bennett and Benedict Arnolc'
his haziness about the exact dates
of the American Revolution, re-
vealed MS unfamiliarity with the
world of book learning"
But the Ford minG mas am un-
canny realism, moments when IL
cuts through surface show ana
gets down to the real thing. Such
a moment came recently at the
New York Worlds Fair. Ford sur.
Veyed the exhibits. remarked that
they could scarcely fail to be an
inspiration to young America, and
then blurted out:
Look at the nations represented
here. These exhibits. and not Jner
wars, show their real character.
They have sent here the things they
are really proud of, the things they
want to be judged by They haven't
sent their bombs and poison gas
and samples of their concentra-
tion camps-theyre not really
proud of those things they
wouldn't want to exhibit them.
Six million people have seen the
New York exhibit but Ford is the
first one to cut through to the
simple truth: no n..ion can really
be proud of its progress in newer

IS THERE REALLY
VERY MUCH DIFFERENCE?

Lobbying, as it has been known for
many years, is growing in disfavor. This
is the wine, women and song variety of
influencing legislators, coupled with
the campaign contribution method.
A new form of lobbying has grown up.
1t has not yet had time to win public
disfavor. 1t is the pressure method. 1t
can be eXerted by the same groups that
formerly won the good favor of law
makers in Washington and Sacramento
by putting on expensive parties All
that is necessary is a petition, and some
one to circulate it. 1t is regretably true
that most people will sign petition
without ever reading it through. Or,
failing a petition, a threat to withdraw
votes may be used Or-if the person
desiring certain legislation is in a posi-
tion of public prominence, he can threat
EN- purge" of the party.
The methods are different. The aim
is the same-to Influence votes by legis-
lators.
If one kind of lobbying is to be frowned
upon, then all kinds should be barred.

SOME USELESS
SPENDING

Fifteen hundred thousand dollars of
tax money was spent by the federal COM
munications commission to expose
record that was never closed to the pub
lic-that of the American Telegraph and
Telephone company. This information
the company and its subsidiaries would
gladly have laid before the commission
without cost But the investigation must
be spectacular and accompanied by
lot of big talk. Not only that, but it
must cost money. The more money the
better, since it gave a lot of political fa
Vorites and their friends jobs.
The commission has just issued the
result of its findings which cost $780,
600. 1t finds nothing that required in

tensive business, necessarily so, since it
operates throughout the entire world.
Also that it is one of the worlds most

unnecessary investigations" and prob

and decently conducted institutions
Business offices throughout the land
large and small are cluttered by "offi-
cials" digging into things that they know
so little about that busy employees must
neglect their work to explain what it all
means. Nine-tenhs of all this expendi-
ture of money, which must first be bor-

useless, senseless and downright silly

people have stopped talking about

several" cities; probably will keep
on going from one city to another
without stopping at SIX.
Significance of this is that 1t
could foreshadow quite a change
in approach. Under the first plan,
results in the six guinea pig
cities were to have been carefully
weighted and tested before the
thing was carried any farther.
Officially, the weighing and test
ing are still in the cards; but by
proceeding gradually, without any
limitation on the number of ex-
perimental cities, the line between
purely experimental work and
full-speed ahead might be aufully
hard to see.

a new wrinkle in the game soon.
The orange stamps (Which clients
must pay cash for) may be dropped
entirely in one or more cities, ano
only the free blue ones used. Theory
has been that orange stamps were
needed to make sure that the relief
clients didn't simply fill up on the
free surplus" commodities and
divert their ordinary food expen-
ditures into other channels. BY
Going without the orange stamps in
certain cities, results there could be
checked against the results where
the orange stamps are being used

get a pretty good line on the ex-
tent TO which the whole scheme
