Interesting Reports Made at
District P.-T.A. Meeting

spoke on the results of a survey
conducted among 1900 children in
which the youngsters checked their
actual recreational occupations and
their desired recreations, a large
discrepancy showing between what
the children wished to do and what
they actually did do.
Mrs. Carleton suggested a similar
survey for Imperial county to de-
termine just how adequately recre-
ational needs are being met.

PEOPLE DON'T MiND PAYING
If THEY GET MONEYS WORTH

Uncle Sans new armament taHallol
plan went into effect Monday. Up went
the prices on this and that-radlos, cos
metics, refrigeratorS and What-haVe you
all by way of paying for the new anna
ment preparations of this nation.
Ordinarily, when new taxes are LEVIED
or when prices take an upward turn,
there is some reaction in buying habits.
1t was refreshing indeed to hear from
dealers and merchants. that Monday ana
Tuesday saw no particular disturbance
in the spending habits of Imperial Val
ley folk.
The reason seems to be clear. People
don't mind spending money for some
thing worth the cash. In the current
case 80 per Get of the population o. this
country wants preparedness-and they
want it quick and they want it adequate,
Such a union of public opinion Is en-
couraging because it is in strict contrast
to the conflict of opinions and emotions
and thoughts during the past few years.
Almost since the very inception OF the
New Deal, turmoil and diSunlon have
characterized the American people Con-
troversia issues have poured into our
midst. Feelings have run high.
Like a cooling breeze after a long hot
spell comes this change in public psy-
chology. Americans become united
people, casting minor disagreements
aside and willingly taking up the new
job of preparing the country against
common danger
Such unity of purpose may be OK
pected to continue as long as the people
are convinced that their dollars are be-
ing we'll spent Therein lies the danger.
The New Deal hasn't been characterize
lied by efficient operations or we'll coor-
dinated actions. 1t is to be hoped that
in the case Of armament, it turns over a
new leaf and acts with the utmost effec-
tivenesS.
If so, the taX-paying public will con-
tinue to carry the burden gladly. If not
A wide reaction can be expected.
The eyes of the people are on the fed
eral administration, and much depends
on what greets those eyes.

were going to grind out 5000 air
planes a day from one plant. No
body even stopped to multiply that
by 300 and to realize that 1t
means million and half planes
in a year, requiring three million
pilots and ground staffS of 100000
Now we are settling down to
reality. Level-headed General Mar
shall, the chief of staff, has point
ed out that we have two problems
of defense, not one The first is to
get into some kind of formation
the defense forces we now have.
This is already being done. Bases
have been reinforced and further
protected Small forces have been
assembled and consolidated into CT
fective units. Reserve officers, of
whom we fortunately have Size

IMPERIAL VALLEY AND
Sen. ED FLETCHER

Imperial Valley has reason to welcome
the entry of State Senator Ed. Fletcher
into the goth district congressional race
to represent this and San Diego counties
in the House of Representatives at Wash
ington, d. {.
Senator Ed" or "Colonel Ed as he is
intimately known, long has been public
servant and community enthusiast of San
Diego. In ex-officio capacity, he has
long been a friend Of Imperial county.
Decades ago he played no small part in
connecting the valley with Yuma by road
And during more recent times. since the
resignation Of Ed Law as this county's
senator, Fletcher has kept a friendly
weather-cyc out for our interests in the
state senate in collaboration with this
county's able aosemblyman, Clarence
Walker.
1t is true that Fletchcr'S untlrlng en-
ergies sometimes may have benefited
San Diego at our expense. We have
sneaking feeling much of the road funds
which San Diego has received might have
been brought to this county, had we been
smart enough to get it.
1t will be a pleasure to know that in
the capacity of representing this entire
goth district, he will be representing us
as much as San Diego, that his abilities
and energies will be directed to seeing
that Imperial county gets its share of
benefits.

INVITATION TO RUN FAILS
TO IMPRESS THE BRITISH
lChriStian Sclence MOnltOrl

The British are hard for some people
to understand. You offer them advice
when what they need is airplaneS. DO
they appreciate the advice
And when they are steeling themselves
for the sort of ordeal their tight little
island has not faced since 1866, when
all the free world knows that its present
line of defense against Hitlerism rests
on the steadfaStneSs of the British peo-
pie. when that people needs the faith as
we'll as the material aid of other free
peoples-juSt then YOU advise them to
run away.
And do they appreciate your advice?
No; for the British are hard for some
people to understand.
Adolf Hitler has pointed out in "Men
kampf" that they were too hard for
Imperial Germany to fathom I'VE had
no conception of the forces that would
lead men to their death of their own free
will But the failure Of Herr Hitler's
hopes to make an ally of Britain in his
scheme for control of Eastern Europe
shows he himself found it hard to under
stand the British.
Senator Key Pittman may also find
it hard to understand them. For his sug-
gestion that they quit the British Isles
and move the center of their defense eff
forts to Canada is not being jublantly
received in Britain. 1t is true Prime Min
lister Churchill had already envisaged
such a possibility But he saw it as Il
hope of continuing resistance to Hitler
ism even if the unthinkable should have
come to pass. Any suggestion that Brit
ons, high or low, should yield up their
castles before they had fought to the
last ditch,' in lanes and fields and hills,
mistakes the tenor of Mr.. ChurchillS
words.
Britain's ambassador to Washington
evidently had already sensed that some
Americans were mSca lculating British
intentions. For Ford Lothian warned an
audience at Yale university more than a
week ago not to count on Britain's fleet
moving to the Western Hemisphere until
most of that fleet had been destroyed.
1t is fact that too many Americans,
tardily aware Of their own cOuntryS re-
lance on and need of the British Navy,
have felt relieved by the thought that it
might join forces with the United States
fleet to protect British and American
interests in the New World should the
old be- lost.
But it is plain the British do not in
tend to lose the Old World. That they
will pit themselves against a war ma
chine which has overrun half dozen
countries in about as many weeks may be
hard for some people to understand That
the British are hard to understand in
such matters is what makes them so hard
to beat.

PHILADELPHIA, July 3-There
was something highly symbolic
though il wasn't meant that way
about the miSfiring of the fast
political maneuver attempted by
Joseph Pew. eastern Pennsylvania
G.. O. p. boss. in connection with
the nomination of Wendell Willkie.
Pew held Pennsylvania vote
back. on the final ballot and the
nomination almost walked out from
under HIM before he could register
it.
Things Just moved too fast for
him.
A new game was being played
and when he finally plunked II
votes on the line-when Willkie
needed only two to win the nomi-
nation-he got chorus of booS
for his pains.
Which. to repeat, is symbolic.
For it becomes more and more
evident the nomination of Willkie
means the beginning of a new era
for the Republican party and pos
sibly for the nation as well.

The only smoke-filled room at
this convention was the conVen-

made the decision they made be-
cause, obviously, they felt 1t was
a decision the general public had
already reached.
Willkie had started late and he
started from scratch.
As recently as two weeks before
the convention. wise old party
heads III Washington were retus-

He hadn't gone out and got any

earlier

interventnnists and isolationistS,
