The Imperial Valley lettuce deal

Harrigan said and indications
pointed to another price boost be-

Strengthening of the market was
brought about Harrigan pointed
out, when one-third of the crop was

Country Club Here
Considers Closing

Lack of Municipal Help
Cited as Argument for

Possibility of closing the
Barbara Worth Country club
to the public because of lack
of municipal aid from Ell
Centre or Holtville, was one
of many subjects discussed Monday
night at the annual club meeting.
The club serves as a municipal
golf course for both communities,
advocates of the plan pointed out,
and obviates the necessity of either
Ell Centre or Holtville establishing
a municipal course to keep tourists
and seasonal business visitors in
the south end of the valley. For
this reason the two cities should
aid in financing the club it was

size of Ell Centro, and especially
communities deriving material in

a municipal course" one of the
directors was quoted as saying. "El

course, relies OH the Barbara Worth
course to hold in Ell Centre many
people who otherwise would go to
