JOHN {. NEALES
MEMORY UNSMIRCHED

Editors Note: In behalf of the
memory of City Clerk !. {. Neale, who
was respected by all who know him,
the Post-PresS newspapers are glad to
publish the following letter from {.
II. II. Small, city treasurer during
Neale'S term Of office. 1t must be re
membered. however, that the PoSt-PrcsS
did not say that MIR. Neale WAS To blame,
as Mr.. Small indicates. Accounts mere
ly quoted witnesses before the grand
jury, and the PoSt-Press could not cthi-
cally color or censor what the witnesses
said. We believed ii unfortunate at the
time that Mr. Neale'S name Was men
toned. yet had we deleted any impor-
tant part of the grand jury testimony,
we would have left the door open to
deleting all. No honorable newspaper
could do that.
EDITOR. POST-PRESS:
In connection with your editorial in
last nights Press and the news articles
referred to therein, am writing on be-
half of one who cannot defend himself
as he has passed to the Great Beyond

From 1929 to 1892, |. as city treasurer,
conferred frequently with Jack Nralr,
City Clerk. relative to income and cN-
ponditures of the City in order To be able
to intellgently discuss with the city coun-
Gil the taxes to be raised to care for the
cty'S needs and provide for the increase
in the water departments storage capac-
ity at that time-repairS to the outtal
sewer. service the delinquent paving
bonds, etc.
While an expenditure of two to three
thousand dollars for office equipment
is a small item compared with a short
age of S65 900 or more. it is relatively
large item to be raised by taxation if 1t
isn't necessary. Jack Neale and | period
ically Of an evening checked along with
the other sources Of revenue and eXpen-
ditures. the records of the water depart
ment not only from month to month but
over period of years to make sure that
no large variations were indicated with
out cause. and to estimate what income
should be. We We're endeaVorlng to keep
taxes and water charges down and that
was the reason he did rot purchase equip
ment at that time. ! do not think it IS
fair to his memory that YOU should say
he is to be blamed" for his action in SO
doing when we were at the same time
safeguarding the city's interests without
this expenditure Of city funds and as Mr..
Floyd Brown annual ADULTS will show,
as he was at that time making the annual

LIKES WESTERNS"

A messenger boy was dispatched
from the Congressional Library the
ether day with six books which had
been requested by Vice President
John Garner. En- route the boy got
curious about the vice presidents
taste in literature and examined
his load. The books were all
westerns" most of them eight or
10 years Old.

You re Telling Me-

The world doesn't change much,
after all This year again we read
the old story of the man who in

of their own shipping, doing their
work for them.

ZadOiI DumbkOpf says the man

dates are leaping SO quickly into
the political arena indicates they
must believe it's the early bird

Among
Our Yesterdays

WARSAW, Mar. Copeland has
sent a wireless message to the Rus
sian Bolshevik government propos-
ing April 10 as the date for meeting
Soviet delegates with view toward
negotiating peace.
That peace proposal to Russia
Cand to Germany is a bit late. In
fact, it is 20 years late, because
the above item appeared in Ell Cen
tro newspapers just 20 years ago.
An ironic sidelight, in view OF the
fact that today Poland is no more,
swallowed up in part by Soviet
Russia.
Ell Centre Is a rapidly growing,
busting, successful young city, an
editorial of the day rccounted. I'VE
are SO busy that We do not seem
to realize that one of our public
utilities is about to 90 under.
ITS the gas company.
Unless We put up our share OF
the S75 900 necessary to rchabllltatc
the plant we won have gas service
at all. Our share is $4,000. IndlVld-
ualS have, to date, subscribed about
$1,000 of the amount =.
AS a community necessity we
MUST keep the gas plant going $50.
All of which should bring an
amused expression to the face OF
f. 3. Mason.
Perhaps you are enough of pio-
ncer of Imperial Valley to interpret
this story:
Commissioner Tallman of the
United States land office in Wash
ington Judge Finney of the depart
mcnt of the interior, will oppose
the granting of any lands in I'M

the proposed Laguna Water COM

left of us there rises out of the
white surface what might be a
school of aerial dolphins-15 little
Swedish military pursuit planes.
Skipping over the cloud surface they
surround us-seven ahead and the
rest behind-a guard to bring this
Swedish transport air liner safely

dive into the clouds and hide. If
it is below the clouds the enemy
planes can swoop down on it before
it can get enough altitude to hide

HELSINKI, Finland (By MaiD -
At 9 this morning my plane takes
of for Finland from the Stockholm
airport. It is more than half empty
and the few other passengers are all
men-mostly Firms going back to
enter their army for the war against
Russia-the heavy traffic these days
is the other way, for foreign refugees
are pouring out of Finland-pros-

women and children to Stockholm,

flv low-hardly 1000 feet over the
little Swedish barns and farmhouses
below us-sometimes over villages
then more pine forests and finally
the gray black Baltic Sea beneath,
all palely seen in the gray light OF
the Arctic winter sun which filters
through the cloud-blanket.
Then suddenly-We do not know
why-we begin to climb-We enter
the cloud bank and for few min

then out on top of the blanket
which is gray no longer but sheet
of the sheerest white cotton-we

the strong clear yellow light OF
the sun-even though it hangs low
