Early Vice
RR is indebted to Ernest Sopris
for calling attention to an amazing
event in Ell Centro.
Never its like on this earth
beforeu he commented and RR
agrees most heartily. The event
was dutifully recorded in this daily
. publication as:
so and SO, 3, who pleaded guilty
to a drunk driving charge.
Youngsters mature early in I'm
perial Valley, it would seem.
How's That Again
The above mentioned incident
pales into insignificance, however,
when compared with sentences
lifted from a story of some days
ago describing the sudden death
of number of horses.
In that account it was casually
stated:
g. only part of the herd died
because the dead ones ran anG
frisked'
And also:
the dead horses ate the
plants which caused their deaths.
1t is a marvellous country, where
the dead frisk about and ghosts
cat the poison that killed them!
Summer Motif
Closest thing to a Boy Scout mud
ist RR has glimpsed in many a
moon is the dandy figure that Jack
Harris cuts on a golf course.
The costume Is, briefly, this:
A pair of golf shoes. pair OF
. socks, pair shorts and a deep tan
If he would just wear derby
hat now.
On The Way
An aging gentleman halted pc

MistIefoe
 Has Story

Of all the Christmas greens, the est-loved, probably, is the mistle- tee, which likewise has experienced the most eventful history of all plants.
 In the days of pagan worship in England the mistletoe was chosen fer great honors, being cut from it's host, the oak tree, with golden axes. It was gathered for the peo- pie and a bit given to each D srson to ward off illness. But the plant paid dear for these honors for when the Christian church. was established it was not allowed in any church because Of its pagan association, and it is told that preachers even would stop in their sermons if a tiny bit were spied and the service waited until i the offending bit of green was re- moved.
 Tn later centuries it became again the symbol of peace and friendship ard has since been tackled or the
 dcCrWay as a token of friendly , greeting.

Antituberculosis Seals Sold in Forty Nations

Besides the United States, more than 40 different countries through out the world now have, or have had, Christmas seals or stamps that are sold wholly or partially for tubercu- losis work. Little did Einar Holboell realize, when he conceived that first Danish Christmas seal, launched in 1904. that his simple idea would in a generation circle the globe.
 Claiming the honor of having orig mated the Christmas seal sale, Den- mark has, with its neighboring coun- try, Sweden, held seal sales annu- ally since 1904. In the United States. seal sales began in 1907.
 Up to 1884, the sale of Christmas seals in the United States alone to- tailed $75,000, GOO, all of which has been devoted to the control of tuber- eulosis.

Accidents Offer Grave Threat
 To Yule'C Caiety

Nothing can spoil the festive gail ety of Christmas celebration more completely than a fire or accident in the home. There are several es- sential precautions which will help 10 assure a truly Merry Christmas. q Don't risk using frayed cords and broken plugs.
 q Don't handle electrical appli- ances with wet hands.
 q Don't yank at cords or run them under rugs.
 q Don't forget to have insulated staples on hand for stringing cords around.
 q Don't overload your house cir cult. Usually 1000 watts is as much as any one circuit will stand. q Don't neglect providing plenty of extra lamp bulbs of the various sizes and colors you're using for Christmas cheer. so you can replace burned-out ones.
 q. Don't put pennies in blown-out fuse. A blown fuse is warningl q Don't have high wattage lamp bulbs near fancy inflammable orna- ments, synthetic materials, paper or cotton. Watch out about using candles too near draperies, wall pa per or woodwork.
 q Don't plan to have row of can dles too close to a mirror or the heat may crack it.
 And above all, don't burn real candles on your Christmas tree un- less it has first been thoroughly fireproofed.

 Never before have Santa's work CTS been so busy. Last night Santa gave a special dinner for them at which he thanked them for their cooperation and help during the past year. He assured them that he knew that all the world would join in hearty approval of their efforts to create more and better gifts than ever before.
 Daily reports on the weather are received and read with great atten- ton for in the event of a bliz- gard the hazards of the trip are generally increased. But in spite of the perils of storm and distance everyone at the Pole feels entire confidence in Santa Claus ability to do what he has so proudly an- lnounced that he was out to do beat his own record.
 
 Early Morning Activities s Several of Santas oldest work CTS take great pride in recounting the glorious pageantry of the start of his trip in previous years. He usually rises at a. m.

As dawn breaks in Its crimson glory everything is in readiness for the start Nearly all ways there is light snowfall often the herald of a blizzard that often comes to try the mettle of Santa and his brave reindeer.
 For the great journey Santa wears his suit of crimson leather trimmed with gorgeous bands of ermine. His jaunty cap gives him dashing air. His warm gloves are lined with the soft feathers of pen guins. The buckle of his broad belt sparkles in the early morning sun.
 Always his helpers wait to hear the heartening command

This year, as always, the gncmes through the year will stand at attention till the sleigh makes a tiny speck that rapidly disappears through the dancing snowfiakes that go whirling in mad, dancing sarraband of white.
 This year is certain to be dup licate of the many that have passed except that there are more toys; better toys for the waiting world of children that depend on Santa for their Christmas cheer and a Merry Christmas.

Interest Payments
Attorney Questions
Right to PromuIgote
Proposed Rule
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
James L. Boone. an attorney for
Electric Bond g. Share Co, told the
Securities Commission today that it
had no power to promulgate'
proposed rule which would prohibit
payment of interest on debt to par
ents by holding company subsidiaries
whose publicly held preferred stock
is in arrears on dividends. except
with S E. C. approval.
The suggested regulation would
affect principally the big Bond &
Share system, involving around
81. SOC, 100000 of utility company
assets.
Speaking at a public conference
called by the commission on the rule
known as the U-51-Mr. Boone
said that the debt of subsidiaries
held by Bond g. Share aggregated
approximately s92,0OO00O and repre-
sented more than $1,000, 900, or about
one-half of the holding company's
gross annual revenue.
He described the proposed action
as "reshuff1ing of priorities or po-
sition." and that that while it was
intended to help the stockholders of
some companies, such as United Gas
Corp. it made no provision for the
public holders of preferred stock of
Bond g. Share.
why should it be-" Boomer said,
that the preferred stockholders of
United Gas Corp. are entitled. to
any greater preference than the
preferred stockholders of Electric
Bond g. Share Coz

ciples of bankruptcy and reorgani-
zation law to solvent going con-

Emmett F. Connely, president of

ton, said that he felt that the rule
it would be better to deal with the
problems individually. He declared
also that the matter of deciding
claims was one which should be left
to the courts.
Roger S. Foster, S. E. C. attorney,
replied that the proposed rule was
essentially procedural and said
there was real need" for an ad-
ministrative agency to be able to act
in the circumstances covered by the
rule.

Tire Dealers Urged
10 Conserve Supply
By Retreading
Manufacturers Favor
Drive to Reduce
requirements
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 10-The Ma
tional Association of Rubber Manu-
facturers has recommended that
tire dealers enter the retreading
business as step in conserving
rubber.
The associations recommendation
follows closely upon statements by
several leaders in the industry that
rubber consumption by civilians
might be sharply curtailed in the
second half of 194l
Greater use of such available ex-
pedients as retreading would do
much in the way of conservation in
the replacement market, it was
pointed out. and augment other ef-
forts in that direction, including the
20 per cent curtailment in new car
production.
Consumption of rubber continued
at a record pace in May, according to
estimates by dealers here.
Estimates of consumption in May
range from 10000 to $1,000 tons,
with most operators expecting fig
ure of around 72.000 tons
These estimates compare with
actual crude rubber consumption of
1874 tons in April and 54,5l3 tons
in May, 1910.
