not have doubled the 3-Hearts.
Hence South has four each in

DESERT PICNICS
Varying from the pattern of COM
pctitivc team and school sporting
activities but nevertheless in the
field of recreation are opportunities
afforded by the desert country sur
rounding the fertile fields. An al
most endless array Of desert diver
siOnS are offered. such as camping,
hiking, gem collecting. horseback
riding and sight seeing.
Within 80 miles in any direction
from the heart of Imperial Valley
begin the fringes of the desert coun-
try. Over The sand dunes that were
once traversed by settlers coming
in to set up homesteads now flock
hundreds Of picnickers and sight
seerS on their weekend tours.
Thus far We have listed only the
activities that require concerted
physical movements. Although no.
so muscle building. but neverthe-
less important in the valley recrea-
tiOnal program are activities OF
the purely social side.

HUNTING, FISHING

Hunting and fishing in Imperial
Valley are sports as yet not very
veil developed, largely because land
has been transformed directly from
desert 10 an irrigated country.
On the desert. refuge for fish and
game is extremely limited but now
that they have been brought in
and planted" throughout the valley
lhe stock is greatly increasing. Bird
hdntln3 for quail, doves and pheas-
ants has been quite popular with
the number of local and out-of the
valley nimrOdS participating is
arcWlng by leaps and bounds.
Fishermen are aole to haul out
larac catfish from the irrigation
canals and small rivers and within
the past few years a number of
game tish-of the bass variety
have either migrated from the Colo
rado river into the canals or have
been planted there by fishermen or
officials. The number OF bass caught
is increasing yearly.

RADIANT LIVING
Master of DischOr6
By
REV. C. M. GRIFFITH
CeciltOn, Md.
CeciltOn, Md.

In it's last analysis, music is only
noise. 1t is mere vibration striking
uuon the eardrums, making one cor
scious of what we call "sound."
But who wants to break music down
into it's last analysis? What you de-
sire, rather, is such mastery of
sound that, it becomes music of such
cncbantment that it carries you away
into the realms of fancy.
There is so much noise in life, harsh
and discordant, striking not upon the
ear, but upon the heart, setting the
nerves on edge, bringing confusion to
the mind, and sadness to the splfls.
What every man needs is scme
Master of dischord, some super -mu-
stefan who can weave all the harsh
noises of the strifes of life into a
symphony whose melodies soothe the
spirit and whose harmOnies inspire
one toward achievements.
Is not Jesus Christ the greatest
OF musicians WHERE IS tuS1S @
greater who can take the dischords of
anger, jealousy, strife, and hatred
and quiet them down into a harmony
of brotherly kindness, good will and
fellowship?
Recall how He once stood in the
stern of that frail little skiff as it was
being driven before the fury of the
raging storm, and with the baton OF
His commanding voice, brought the
bowling of the shrieking wind and
the kissing of the wild water into a
melody of calm.
Just so, can He, as, the Master of
dischord, bring the noise ana confu-
sion of your life under control and
weave it into a symphony of love,
peace and joy!
There are no dischords in that life
which is fully yielded unto the MIS-
terry of the Christ.

Graham Cracker Crust Adds FinI
shing Touch To king of Desserts
When one settles right down TO
think of it, is there anything that will,
nine out of ten times, hit the spot as
a good Lemon Chiffon Pie with gra-
ham cracker crust?
Probably not many of you have
ever eaten or even for that matter
heard of such a combination. It's
great favorite out west where pies
are eaten as one of the duties of the
day.
Out there, all kinds of pies are
served in a graham cracker crust, it's
become a sort of National Anthem or
the symbol of good eating. There are
some bakeries that charge as high as
a dollar a piece for them, and the
funny part of it is that these bakeries
are still in business and going strong
so there really must be something to
it. Try it in your own home and see
for yourself, it's better that way
than taking some other persons word
for it.
