TIDBTTS FROM ROUND AND
ABOUT

The Fourth of July activities
brought out a lot of folks to the
various parks and resorts. The
Credjafawns entertained many of
their friends at jolly picnic given
at Kings Valley. Some of the
picnickers dashing about were:
HARVEY PTTTMAN and an out
of town lassie, BLANCHE
THOMPSON; LORRAINE HOR-
RIS looking quite in style in
green slack suit; LOUIS and
DOROTHEA MASON still quite
the devotees greeting and meeting
various friends; SYLVESTER and
VERA HARPER were here and
there introducing" their little
baby boy to folks about town; that
fall, winter, spring, and summer
twosome, DICK HALL and ANITA
BLOEDOORN were really enjoy
. ing themselves; the ever gracious
LOUISE and BURIE CAR
MICHAEL were on hand giving
the Credjafawn's guests the hi! va;
ASHMORE STOKES was busy as
can be squirting DOROTHEA WILL
LIAMS, another out-of-town las
sic, round the Valleys picnic
grounds. Heard the Drum and
Bugle Corps, directed by Jeanette
Dorsey of Phyllis Wheatley House,
gave quite a performance at Sum-
ner Field Park in Minneapolis on
the 4th. This groups performance
was just one of the many splendid
features presented on the program
at the Field by the Johnny Baker
Post, American Legion here in Min
neapolis. DOROTHY RAN

Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
Well, the talk of the town is the
dance on Wednesday night of this
week, when Fletcher Henderson
and his band will swing out on
some of his mellow rhythms for
the local dancers and jitterbugs at
the Eagles Hall. You know Hender-
son and his band are also playing
a local engagement at the Happy
Hour Club. When the band breeZed
into town last week, they stopped
at one of our well-mOwn social
centers in Minneapolis and did the
gals ever get a thrill-yOu know,
seeing some new men in town. The
local lassies will tell you, frankly,
that the Twin Cities are getting to
be a NO Mans Land" (catch)?
And when a new fellow does get
to town it's worse than the Gold
Rush of 1S49. If any of the boys
who are still left can't get a gal
now, we'll, guess there's just no
hope for them.

WAR HAS IT'S PROBLMS
(And HOWL! y
The hero Cor cad), in our story
is a rather young man about town
who has recently taken over some
extra outside activities, including
chasing other women and learning
to be an air raid warden. His
wife, heretofore, has been quite
particular with her hubbie-that is,
she hasn't allowed him many
nights out alone. Now that the
war is going on, our dear little hub
bic has joined various air raid
classes and has a fine excuse to
spend more time away from home
than at home.
The hubble in our story met his
current outside interest Ia we'll
known lassie about town., on one
of his recent house-to-house air
raid canvasses. The poor" wife
in our story recently found out
about her husbands carryings-on
and so to catch up with him, has
joined the air raid classes right
along with him. Up to the present
date, the meandering husband has
been unable to get away from his
wife cause she's keeping right up
with him and from all outward ap-
pearances, she's just about broken
up the outside interest. I think
the wife was one smart woman.
What do you think of her? More
POWER to more clever women like
her.
Well, friends, I'll have to be on
my way but I'll be with you again
next week.

Engineers Start
Proposed New Dam

WASHINGTON. June 2-tUP) -
Commissioner John c. Page of the
bureau of reclamation said today
that engineers have started eXplor-
atory drilling on the proposed Fol-
som dam site Cn the American river
in California.
The Folsom dam, part of the pro-
posed American river project to
give California a long-range irriga-
tion and hydroelectric system. was
planned in 1881 but has not yet
been authorized by congress.
Page said construction has not
yet begun on the cross channel de-
signed to convey surplus Sacra-
mento river water from near Free
port to the San Joaquin river neal
Stockton, where it is needed fol
irrigation in the Central valley. A
substitute channel, Page said, is un-
der consideration to carry water
frcm the Folsom reservoir to the
San Joaquin south Of Stockton. This
canal would be cheaper to build, ht
said, and would allow construction
of the cross channel to be post
poned a number cf years.

Fou|ds Says Farm
Loans Unavailable
In Valley Now

Deploring the gap between the
expiration Of the emergency act
allowing land bank commissioner
loans in Imperial county and posi-
bic passage of a senate bill extend
ing the act, Secretary Scott B
Foulds of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau Tuesday reminded farmers
that the loans are not available tc
them.
The emergency act allowing the
commissioner loans in Imperial VAL
ley expired June l and it will be
some time, he said, before some
thing is arranged to take its place
Congressman Ed V. Izaac wrote
FouldS that a bill continuing the
81 per cent rate on land bank anc
commissioner loans passed the
house May 26. 1t yet must be passed
by the senate.
Farm bureau officials in Imperial
county several weeks ago launched
a campaign to get extension of the
commissioner loan act and the Cal
ifornia Farm Bureau Federation
asked farm bureaus throughout the
state tc telegraph their senators
and congressman to work to put
the extension through. The work
is being done, Foulds said, but there
will be a time between the expira-
ton date and the day the act is
extended.

Flax Unaffected
By Truck Crisis,
Bennett Declares

Silce Imperial Valley flax is sold
on a world market and already has
been contracted by the mills at the
best premium enjcyed since flax
was grown in the valley the mar
keting of flax is not affected by
transportation shortages as is hay
and some other agricultural pro-
ducts, it was explained Tuesday by
G. G. Bennett, president of the
Associated Farmers of Imperial
county.
The mills contracted fer prac-
tically the entire valley flax crop
and paid a fine bonus over the
September Minneapolis price long
before the transportation difficulty
arose to hamper the movement Of
hay and other products sold cn a
local market Flax growers have
the opportunity of fixing the price
ahead of delivery and the flax
movement to market may take
place throughout the season.
In discussing the difficulties the
hay growers of the valley were hav-
ing in getting their hay to market. =
Bennett said in a conversation with
Argyle McLachlan, secretary of the
flax growers association. L meant
to discuss hay alone l mentioned
flax mills and I did not mean the
flax market was affected as was the
hay market, which is local one.

Gov. George A. Wilson, candidate

on the subject of farming, trailed
Wilson by margin of 3 to 4.

Thornburg had charged wilson
with being an ''isolationist" before
Pearl Harbor. Wilson, however, de-
MED that he was an isolationist
and said he had supported repeal
of the neutrality act long before
Japan's attack.
Thornburgs views, similar to Will
kie's, called for United States par
ticipation in world affairs after the
war. Willkie, on a recent visit, said
that Thornburg would make good

tions of a few weeks duration, !"

Tuesday. We will be able to carry
on the regular work through the
summer months because most of
the Scouts will be in the valley

few will be away for the entire sum
mer."

Mexico Formally
Declares War on
Biu Three of Axis

MEXICO CITY, June 2 (UP) -
Mexico formally entered the war
1gainst the Axis today, just 20 days
after the first Mexican ship was
sunk by an Axis submarine.
President Manuel Avila Camo-
cho signed a declaration of war
retroactive to May % against
Germany, Italy and Japan. The
government complied with the last
technicality of becoming a bellige-
rent by publishing the declaration
in today's issue of the official Ga
zette.
Avila Camacho also signed special
legislation, giving him eXtraordi-
nary powers and almost suspendlng
civil rights for the duration
Congress had voted unanimously
to declare war; the chamber of
deputies last Friday, and the senate
on Saturday Actually Mexico had
been belligerent since May %,
when Avila Camacho and his cab
met decided to ask congress for a
declaration of war. On May l3, a
German submarine had sunk the
unarmed Mexican ship Potrero Del
Llano. The government sent Ger
man. an ultimatum. 1t was an
swered on May % by the sinking
OF the tanker Faja De ORC.
Rolf Arfwedson, the Swedish
charge d'affaires. was requested by
Foreign Minister Ezequiel Padilla
to inform Germany that Mexico
is her enemy The Swedish govern
ment has been representing Ger
many's diplomatic interests since
Dec.ll, when Mexico broke diplo-
matte relations with the Axis.
The Swiss consul general and the
Portuguese charge d'affaires, rep
resenting the Italian and japanese
governments, respectively, advised
them.
Padilla said the governments of
the 81 American republics all of
which, except Argentina and Chile,
are at war with the Axis or have
broken relations with it-had been
informed of MeXico's action.

Churchill Reveals
British Prepared
For Libya Attack

LONDON, June PUP - Prime
Minister Winston Churchill told the
House of Commons today that Brit
ain had foreseen the German Of
fenSive in Libya and was prepared
for it.
1t was clear from captured docu-
mentS. Churchill said, that COL
Gen. Erwin Rommel, commanding
German and italian forces in Libya,
intended to defeat the British arm
ored forces and capture Tobruk, the
coastal stronghold 100 miles from
the Egyptian border.
Churchill said the enemy attempt
ed a landing on the Libyan coast,
presumably intending to join with
tanks which drove to the coastal
road but the British navy, closely
cooperating with the army, drove
off the landing craft.
EFFECTS GREAT
1T is still very difficult to give
any firm estimate of the number of
enemy vehicles knocked out by our
air attack but there is ample con-
firmaticn that the effects have
been very great" he said.
Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, the
British commander, reported that
fierce fighting was now proceeding
and that the battle was by no
means over, Churchill commented.
There was not a shadow of doubt,
he asserted, that Rommel's plans for
an offensive had gone completely
awry and had cost him dearly in
men and material.
He said that at conservative
estimate enemy tanks destroyed or
captured totaled about 260 and that
a very large number of enemy
transport vehicles had been de-
stroyed or captured also.
The British also had losses, he
said. since it was inevitable in a
battle of this kind that casualties
on both sides in tanks should be
high But the British recovery Or
ganization, charged with repairing
damaged tanks, was working very
well. he said
