NYA DismissdIs
Hit by Detroit
Youth Group

Dismissal of 5000 Michigan
boys and girls from the National
Youth Administration work rolls
today brought a bitter protest
from the Detroit Youth Assembly.
Following a meeting last night,
the assembly dispatched a tele-
gram to President Roosevelt charg-
ing that the dismissals stood in
revealing contrast to the $1,000
100000 asked by the President
today for war aid to Britain"
The message further demanded
the immediate reinstatement of all
youths fired and back pay for the
layoff. The telegram was signed
by Richard ffeikkefiff, chairman
of the labor committee of the
assembly.

Girl Scouts
Enjoy Camp At
Tar Hollow

Over one hundred Senior Girl
Scouts and their leaders enjoyed
the weekend in Tar Hollow
camp Saturday and Sunday.
The theme America the Beau
tiful," was dedicated to the
American Senior Girl Scouts.
The outing, directed by Miss
Eleanor Moninger, the GAINESVILLE

ned for inspiration, joy and fun.
On arrival each car was met

Oh! the Mother Hearts are saddened
Their Boys have gone away,
For the first time they've been parted
And now it's Mothers Day.
They are thinking of the yesteryears
In Memory they see,
Their Soldiers little Boy
When he knelt at Mothers knee.
May God protect our Nation
May He guide us from above,
And bring the Boys back safe again
To the Mothers that they love.
Although they're many miles apart
The Boys are praying too,
For the Ones they love so dearly
Their Mothers kind and true
Oh God! on this blest Mothers Day
May Thy Blessing rest and stay
On all these saddened Mothers
And the Boys who've gone away.

A Treasure in the Treasury

Deep down in the vaults beneath
the Treasury in Washington there
Is a grilled well-sealed door. From
behind that door comes a pungent
door of decaying vegetation-not
at all the kind of smell one expects
IL dry valut dedicated to pre-
serving gold and silver bars, or
crisp-crinkling new currency.
In heavy packing cases lining one
wall of the shelf-llned vault is
100000 pounds of the best raw
Macedonian opium. That means
three years supply of one of the
most important strategic raw ma
tsrialS
Why the Treasury vault? Simply
because opium is very likely to get
away if stored in private ware
houses. The pressure for obtaining
it is SO great that it might slip
through private hands, however
closely guarded But in public hands
in the Treasury's own vaults, IT
will be there when needed.
Yet this priceless supply was Sc
cured by private dealers. Several
drug companies put up $l,000,000
apiece to buy it, at the govern
ment's beheSt. 1t is a fine example
of cooperation between the govern
ment and private agencies. The
government saw a public need for
a reserve stock of this necessary
Imperial Valley press., 1941-03-24

drug. The private companies went
out and bought it. And the govern
ment stores it for such use public
or private as may be found neces-
sary for the public good.
Eight million ounces of quinine
have been added to reserve stocks
against some emergency which may
interfere with normal supply.
This phase of preparedness is by
no means complete. Similar coop
erative measures are being taken
to re-establish the cultivation IN
South America of cinchona bark
1t is native there, but, like rubber,
its commercial production passed
to the Dutch East Indies, which
might be cut off. Government re-
searchers are also busy on possible
substitutes. Digatalis, mahuang, bel
ladona, cascara. ipeCac, pyrethum
and rothenone are other examples
new sources are beng sought. A
Jewish refugee colony in Santo Do
mingo is developing the castor bean
and may provide a western HemiS-
phere source for castor oil.
Preparedness in the supply OF
vitally necessary drugs is a fine
example of what can be done by
cooperation of government and pri-
vate enterprise, given understand
ing and goodwill on both sides.

THE MARKETS ARE
OPENING UP

The farmer who attains success here,
as elsewhere, is the farmer who keeps a
close watch on economic trends. Today
there are two such trends so outStand-
ing that they should not be missed. They
may mean much to the future develop
ment of Imperial Valley agriculture.
One is the rapidly increasing popula-
ton of the Los Angeles and San Diego
metropolitan areas, offering an ever
growing market for farm produce.
The other, less permanent but equally
important in the present view, is the
growing indication that Great Britain
will be buying foodstuffs-particularly
dairy products and farm produce-in
this country within few months
The growth of San Diego and Los An
geles should provide this area with a
market for truck farm produce-some-
thing we have never had before But un-
less we take advantage of the market
at the outset, somebody else is going to
develop sufficient supply to meet the
demand and again we will be left at the
depot. To take advantage of the new
market, of course, a lot of our marketing
methods must be revised, some of them
discarded, and new ones adopted Chang
ing conditions demand changing meth
DDS. But the fact remains that the mar
ket is there.
The demand of Great Britain for food,
on the other hand, should break the farm
market deadlock that has existed ever
since the war closed down foreign mar
kets 1t is a break that will give farm
ers all over the country a boost. As an
agricultural area, this valley should find
Developments along this line particularly
interesting.
The outlook is good. All we have to do
is be ready to take advantage of new con-
ditiOns.

A FARMER WHO LOOKS
TO THE FUTURE

Il believe our dairies are coming back
I'VE are going to have more diversified
farming and the dairvman will become a
farmer.
Grapefruit is going out =. Grapes are
going out Lettuce is already thinning
out
Livestock raising is coming in, along
with greater emphasis on field and feed
crops =.
We've got a good country The
taxes are not excessive :. I'm not bother
ed bit by any bonded Indebtedness. That
doesn't make any difference . It's a
question of what the land will produce.
The opinions repeated above are not
those of any professional civic booster,
nor of anybody with something to sell.
They come from a man whose farming
acumen has made him one of the most
respected farmers in Imperial Valley,
noted for his hard-headed wisdom and
the success his agricultural efforts have
attained. He is Harold Hunt His sue
cess has been founded largely on long
range vision and planning. There is no
reason to believe he is not as right now
as he has usually been.
Harold Hunt has the wellbeing of the
farmer at heart, because he is himself a
farmer. 1t is a cheering coincidence that
the trends he forecasts are the very
trends which will do most to bring about
the greater welfare of the greatest num-
Der of people in Imperial Valley. Or
perhaps it is not coincidence. either for
after all the welfare of the entire valley
depends upon the farmer.
More diversified farming in Imperial
Valley will mean more intense farming,
less gambling with the markets, and
greater surety of a constant return for
the farmer Additionally, it will mean
smaller farms, hOme-owned and oper-
ated, with the inevitable benefit to all
businesses operating in the valley Large
holdings are sensational, but they have
many drawbacks for the community as a
whole

WILL COUNT
EVERY DRILL

The second phase of the pro-
gram, finding more idle machinery
TO do the defense job, involves max
ing a new industrial survey of prac-
tically every machine in the coun-
try Army tackled this job in the
'20s and '30s, and compiled a tre-
mendous list OF 10000 plants cap
able of being converted to war sup
ply production.
The army however, was inter-
ested only in prime manufacturers,
firms with plants capable OF max
ing an entire line OF products or
at least one complete product. When
army or navy lets a contract now,
they sign with prime contractor
and let him find his own ways and
means to get the job done, but the
facilities OF these prime contract
ore have proved inadequate. The
job IS 50 much bigger than the
original army munitions board sur
Vey contemplated, that the survey
itself is out of date. So it must be
done over again.
John d. Biggers, head of produc-
ton in O. p. M, has given that
resurYey jop 20 Robert l.. Mehor-
nay Of Kansas City. With a staff OF
nearly 200 engineers spread through
the country, the Menornay organ
ization will furnish a defense con-
tract information service. II a
prime contractor in any one district
hasn't the machines-if he has
bottleneck within his own plant,
it will be the job of defense contract
service to dig up sub contractors
with equipment TO perform one
operation, or to make one com
plete part which can be shipped
TO the main plant for assembly.
The service will involve little
squirting of prime contractors. If
production isn't moving fast enough
