THE POETS CORNERED

Who is that around town,
Those se1f-importance is wei Ching him down?
He's supporting the wei t Of the world his back
And thinks that, without hin, civilization would
crack.
There isn't issue which he will not
Express an opinion, regardless Of what.
He flays and he slays, mercy pity,
And feels it his duty to each committee.
He instructs and directs every or ganization,
hen he isn't too busy with the rest Of the nation.
CT all the people in the community,
Ee believes he, alone, may act wit inprmity.
At meetings he goes into his long song and dance
And never gives anyone present chance.
He zust have absorbed all the courses at college;
He even anazes hi self with his knowledge.
We grant there's question Of his sincerity;
ALI deplore is his tenerity.
And, though his antics many smile,
lie wi sh that he c take a back seat for while.

EL CENTRO'S NEW
CHIEF OF POLICE

II. +. Ernie" Cox, dynamic county
taller who becomes El Centro'5 new chle1
of police April 3Oth will do two things;
l. Bring fresh outlook and new ener-
Nv into law enforcement IN the county
seat, and;
2. Assure citizens here and elsewhere
i'm the county that there will be 100 per
cent cooperation between the FL Centre
police department and the county Shrr-
ifs office.
Straight law enforcement will not sui
fer by virtue of the change, and those VINO
have known of the new chiefs work III
his executive position under Sheriff ko0-
ert W. Ware are convinced that he will
bring to his new job an efficiency that
is not duplicated anywhere except in the
branch of the Sheriff's department that
has been under his charge.
BY the appointment, FL Centres city
council obtained for chief of police man
who is universally known and liked
among all county peace officers. That
should be of considerable help in coordi-
mating law enforcement in FL Centre
with law enforcement elsewhere.
Through his position in the sheriff's Of
fice-where he conferred with and help
ed officers from every police department
in the valley, the federal immigration
service, and the customs border patrol
Cox obtained personal knowledge of
the problems and abilities of all law en-
forcement agencies here. Just as i'm
pOrtant, he won the friendship and trust
of executives and men in all depart
mentS.
Also of great value to the city will be
his personal friendship with police Off
GERS in all parts of California. exception
ally broad because when any law en-
forcement officers from other areas visit
Imperial county, they naturally meet
and are entertained by the chief jaler of
the sheriff's department. (To many civ
ilians the title, chief jailer", is confus-
ing In reality the chief jailer is nomi-
nally regarded as third ranking officer
in the sheriff'S department.)
Cox's personal character is good, his
energy is boundless, his attention to de-
tail is amazing.
All in all, the city should be entirely
satisfied with the first official act Of
it's new city council members.

If the American public cannot sift fact

guard democracy by practicing, not
abridging it. Even Senator Clark may
agree the worthiest of intentions some
times wreak more havoc than the very

NEUTRALITY PROTECTION
(ChriStian Science MOnitOr)

Professors are so accustomed To grad
ing students-A-plus, 4, A-minus, B.
plus, B, and so on to the intellectual
vanishing point of E-minus-that it prob
ably becomes something of a habit. Yet
one may readily believe that distinguish
ed speakers, talking into microphones,
have had no idea that a professor was
doing it to them. Still, the professor
pencil in hand, has been marking them
on basis of content, structure and de-
livery
At present: II. Hoover A-plus; F. d.
Roosevelt, A-minus; T. f. Dewey, B.
plus; A H. Vandenberg (whose content
was high enough to compensate harsh
quality in his delivery, B-plus; B. Bar
ton, B R. A. Taft, c; P. V. McNutt, c.;
c. Hull, c. 1t appears }, \. Garner can
only be graded incomplete because he
is still IAN unknown quantity from the
public speaking standpoint and J, Far
ley does remarkably well when he speaks
impromptu presumably an a or at least
a B-minus), but is not effective when
he reads his speech.
The ascendancy of one member of the
class is interesting. AT an earlier period
the professor gave Master Roosevelt the
A-plus and Master Hoover a D. D is a
lower mark than anybody's in the pres
ent reports, the very foot, bottom, and
nadir of the class, unless J. Farley's
unspecified grade when reading a speech
is D-minus. At that time the head Of
the class was won and held by the exer-
else of charm and personality which
was indicative of cheerful and friend
ly individual" A declension started when
the cheerful and friendly individual be
gan to scold his surprised listeners. H..
Hoover, after staying a while quiet at
the bottom, surprised his listeners at his
first temperance, and began climbing
to the top. The professor, one judges,
gave him better and better marks.

Famous Sayings

Dramatic are the accounts of des-

A GOOD QUALIFICATION
FOR ANYBODY

One of the chief requirements of a
good social worker is that he or she be
a good lisener, David c. Adie, New York
State Department of Welfare, told a
California convention of social workers
this week.
He should have said that one of the
chief requirements of anyone who wants
to become successful is that he be good
listener.
Listening is the greatest of all accom-
plishments in business and social life.
Listening, wisely and in connection with
a certain amount of brain exercise need
ed to recognize true and false, can pro-
vide better education than a dozen col
leges. Listening can win popularity
quicker than all the other social graces.
Listening can point the way to success.
Not the sort of listening a COW would
do, of course. Every man who listens is
not wise But, invariably, every man
who is wise does lot of listening. The
difference lies in the ability to listen in
telligently-not just to hear words
Intelligent listening, of course, in
wolves an intelligent selection of who
and what to listen to. 1t involves the
ability to evaluate arguments and arrive
at conclusions.
Intelligent listening is an art-and not
AS easy as it sounds.
