SETTING THE STAGE
FOR HISTORIC REVIEW

Only few hours more than one week
away is Calexico's Desert Cavalcade-e
pageant of history in review which at
tracted national attention in its first
performance last year and at this, the
second showing, bids fair to make It's
place along with the Ramona Pageant and
other famous events in California.
Calexico started the pageant. CaleXi-
cans deserve all the credit there is Tor
putting it over. AS far as the pageant
itself goes, it is of and by CaleXicans. But
4 is for all of Imperial Valley. The per-
son who fails to take part in it, at least
as a spectator, is doing himself dis
service.
CaleXico does not ask much help, but
that which she does ask should be given
gladly, wholeheartedly and Immediately.
In the matter of floats and contestants
for Festival Maid honors, every COM
munty in the valley should pitch in
with hearty good will to make the celebra-
tion greater success-if that is possible
than it was last year.
The handspring to the Desert Caval-
cades success lies in the fact that it
breathes the very spirit of Imperial Val
ley. There was no reaching out for a
far-fetched theme, no groplng for some
obscure motif" when the cavalcade
plans were conceived The material lay
ready to hand in the history and strug-
gle of this valley itself No brush was
needed to paint glamor across the pro-
gram, for no artificiality could ever du-
plicate the stark glamor of the facts.
The Desert Cavalcade IS Imperial
Valleys past in review. f4'he person who
misses seeing it, or taking part if that is
possible, is missing vital part of the
community'S life

The Tragedy Of Italy
BY WILLIS THORNTON

Nothing is easier cor more de-
spicable) than to kick a man
when he is down. 1t is easy, at
long range. to administer verbal
kicking to the Italian people,
especially now that their armies
have taken such literal kicking
around in Albania, in Libya and in
Ethiopia
It is unjust, however, to use
these failures as a blanket indict-
ment of the italian people, and
especially to allow it to reflect on
Americans of italian descent. 1t
is the Strutting, bombastic, trucul-
ent leadership that has fastened
itself On Italy that must bear the
blame.
There is nothing wrong with
Italians as such. They did all right
when they were kicking Radetzky
cut of Milan a hundred years ago,
and Garibaldis redshirts and MAJ
zinis legions were the admiration
of the world when they made their
gallant but hopeless resistance TO
the Austrians.
But they were fighting to de-
tend their country, fighting fer
freedom. And that makes all the
difference.
People who like to bring up Ca
poretto forget the Piave and the
fact that Italy, almost knocked out
rose again and delivered a knock
cut blow against the Austrians,
losing 100000 dead and a million
wounded. But again, italian soldiers
were throwing Austrian invaders
out of northern Italy. They were
willing TO fight and to die for that,
and for the bright dream of free
dom promised by their allies
Since that time. Italian military
exploits have not been so brilliant.

forsaken wastes of Ethiopia TO

son that they could see, they were
