she has the savvy and poise

She arrived expecting to find
Paradise. Only she didn't expect to
find Paradise, because she is not so
stupid as to believe Paradise exists
anywhere on earth. She didn't ex-
actly find Paradise, so she was a
little disappointed.
Only she isn't disappointed at all
because Hollywood is better than she
really had any right to expect
With that little matter all cleared
up, Mile. Michele curled slim legs

Her hands-nice and slim, with
tapering fingers and maroon enam-
eled nails-don't do much talking.

complexion, wide mouth, straight

She decided to take charge of the
interview at one point.
Il will tell you the beginning"
The beginning, it seems, was when
she was 8. living with her family in
Dieppe. Her name at that time
was Simone Roussel. Her father
was an exporter, her mother a
housekeeping Frenchwoman with no
wild theatrical aspirations in her
past-nor for her daughters future.
But friend of the family read lit
tie Simone's palm, cast her horo-
scope, and predicted she would be-
come great actress.
i never forgot" said Michele,
who ran away from home at IS, lug
ging along brother years younger
to keep her company, and made her
way to Paris.
She Was Lucky.
She changed her name to Michele
Morgan, did up her hair like a
grownup, and went around the mo-
tion picture studios. Got job, too,
as an extra. From then on she was
on her way up.
OF course, the family came
through. They did the handsome,
sent the youngsters money to live on.
Presently the young brother, chaper-
onage done, went home and Michele
went to dramatic school at the sug-
gestion of Director Ivan Noe and
Jeanne Vita, script girl.
You see," said Michele. "I have
luck. I make friends"

Schedules Land
Use Conference

What is the minimum capital nee
eSsary to purchase a family type
farm here in Imperial County? This
question according to farm advisor,
Frank Beyschlag, will be answered
at the Imperial County Land Use
Planning committee meeting at 1870
Wednesday, afternoon, January 30,
in the grand jury room in the court
house at Ell Centre.
This committee, under the chair
manship of Nelson Correll of Heber,
is a part of the county agricultural
economic planning conference group.
There will also be discussion by
the meeting of study now being
completed by Adon Poll of the
United States Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics on land ownership
and tenancy in Imperial Valley in
relation to size of farms, types of
farming and other factors.
Anyone may attend the meeting
who is interested in the question OF
the investment in land and i'm
provement needed for the purchase
of a farm on which an industrious
family could make a living and
retire the debt. Similar local discus
sions, Beyschlag indicates are be-
ing held in all agricultural areas.
The United States Department of
Agriculture desires this informa-
ton as general guide for the ten
ant purchase program of the Farm
Security Administration.

The United States, in relying on
its oceans for defense, is in the
same state of mind as France when
it was depending on the Maginot
line for salvation, Bullitt warned.
Rep. James P. Richards, D., S. c.,
had asked him if the fall of France
which Bullitt saw-contained any
lessons for America.
The likeness between France and
this country is perfectly extraordi-
nary" Bullitt said. THE state OF
mind in this country today is ex-
actly like the state of mind in
France year before the war.
They knew that a great danger
existed. but they depended on the
Maginot line. 1 find similar con-
fidence among those people of this
country who depend upon the two
oceans, as the French depended on
the Maginot line" he said.

Shaw first came to the valley in
1907 on a visit. He did not return
to stay permanently until 1918, al
though there were frequent long
visits in the interval. His brothers,
Earl, O. N. and I. H. Shaw, came
to the valley in 1908 and Earl and
1. H. still live here.
After graduation from Kansas
State university at Manhattan,
Kan, in 1911 with degree in elec-
trical engineering, Shaw worked
for the power company there and
then moved to California where
he worked with the now defunct
Northern California Power COM
pany. Shaw is a native of Kansas
and grew up in the small town of
Eskridge, about half way between
Emporia and Topeka.
In Imperial Valley Shaw entered
the hardware business, later adding
an implement division. and operat-
ed his store in Holtville until 1885
when he sold out. Thereafter, he
worked as salesman for the l. v.
Milling company of Holtville.
Shaw first ran for public office
in 1922 when he was elected to the
city council. Except for 1926 and
1927 he has served continuously on
the city board Nine years of this
II were as mayor. He was chief
executive first in 1924 and 25, again

He also has served for eight years
on the Holtville high school board.

At 2 pm. the union offices at

The series of meetings, Winright
said, were scheduled as result OF
a program offered at the annual
extension service conference in
Berkeley early in January, at which
extension leaders learned that the
U. S. Bureau of Animal industry
had approved the vaccination meth
cd as a tried means of controlling
the disease.
Approval of the method followed
several years of tests carried on
in many sections of the nation,
Winright said, and replaces the
previous method of control which
involved the slaughter of hundreds
of head of cattle each year.
Following approval of the plan
the extension service of California
mapped a series of meetings in all
livestock and dairy cattles to spread
information regarding use of the
vaccination process to overcome the
disease throughout the state.
Two herds have already begun the
process in the valley, according to
Winright. under the direction of
the extension service and the county
veterinarian.
Control of the disease and sub
sequent building up of dairy and
livestock herds throughout the ma
ton has become an important prob
lem in national defense, Winright
pointed out.
The supply of foodstuffs has be-
come increasingly important since
the start of the war in Europe,
Winright declared, and only elimi-
nation of Bangs and other diseases
in livestock and dairy animals will
build herds to the point of effic-
iency required.
Then there is still another goal
in the building of herds, Winright
said, that of restocking pure-bred
herds in Europe. Herds have been
reduced to almost nothing in Eu-
rope because of present conditions
and many herds will be completely
depleted in another year of war
fare.
Winright, in further reviewing
information gathered at the Berke-
ley conference, disclosed that Cali
fornia has led the rest of the ma
ton in increasing production, parti-
cularly in the dairy industry.
With the increased interest in
wedding, breeding and feeding pro-
gram, encouraged by cowtesting as
sociations, Winright said, the pro-
duction average of dairy cattle was
boosted from ITO pounds to 265
pounds from 1920 to 1880.
