of ranchers to fight such fires,
Reed said
VALUED AT $500
Twenty tons of hay, valued at
approximately 5000, was destroyed
by fire at the Albert Nichols ranch
northwest of Ell Centre, but city
firemen kept the blaze from reach
ing a nearby power pole on which
was suspended wire carrying 1000
volts of electricity
Efforts of the fighters were also
responsible for preventing the burn
ing of fences and other farm fa-
cilities.
c. S. Reed, Ell Centre fire chief,
said the rural truck left for the
scene at 5:25 pm. Friday and did
not return until $3.50 o'clock Sat
urday morning.
UNDER CONTROL
Although the hay was destroyed,
the fire was kept under control with
a stream of water that was kept
constantly on it. Reed said he was
unable to determine the cause of
the fire, but stated that the hay
stack was in a dangerous position
near the public road.
The El Centro department sent
two men to handle the equipment
and three young fire-fighting stu
dents of the department - Teagle

Musical-minded marines at

bers of their newly-formed
10-piece dance orchestra rehearsed
for coming social functions with
instruments loaned them by public
spirited Ell Centro residents and
the superintendent of the Holtville

Captain Dan Mcclure, recrea-

yesterday that Elmer l.. See, di-

Ell Centre daily newspaper, offered
the use of instruments that became
idle when an elementary school

Buyers Stampede
Groceries TO Use
Last Red Stamps
Clerks Driven "Dizzy'
AS Feminine Buyers in
&c. Spend Their Points

Grocery store clerks in Ell
Centre were driven dizzy Fri
day when housewives swarm
ed into food establishments
in a wild. last-minute effort
to spend" their remaining red"
stamps of Ration Book No. for
meat, cheese, etc, before they eX-
pired at the close of the day.
Such a rush was created by the
feminine buyers when they con-
verged on food stores that it was
impossible for grocerymen to meet
their many requests
But the buying went on just the
same, in the words of one grocery
dealer. the women bought many
items they will hardly be able to
use just to get rid of their stamps" >"
Our meat counter was cleaned
out in short order" one store-keep-
er said I'VE sold them every
thing but our shoe leather"
The situation was more or less
the same throughout the entire
Imperial Valley. and there was
hardly a time during the day in
most establishments when the
clerks could take time out for a
"breather."
The situation was made more
confusing by the mumbling and
buzzing as shoppers added up (out
loud their remaining points.
So exasperated were grocerymen
that some roundly condemned the
OPA for ever fixing an "expira-
ton date" for the ration coupons.
1T was the greatest day from
the standpoint of sales we've had
in years" a food dealer commented.

note.
Dear Folks:
I received your very nice box of
dates yesterday and needless to say
was very pleased to get them. The
same holds true for all my friends
and you would be surprised how
many friends you have when you
get a box from home.
Many of the men here are
from the eastern states and couldn't
realize that such things as fresh
dates were grown in California.
soon had them Strengthened out on
that score by explaining that all
our trees in California bear some
kind of fruit - either oranges,
grapefruit, dates, cocoanutS, ava
codes, pineapple, bananas, etc, and
that it was the common thing to
walk out to your front yard, shake
few shade trees and pickup your
breakfast. I also explained that
the advantages of Imperial Valley
over the rest of the state was the
fact that you could enjoy this
luxury during the full twelve
months of the year. l described
what a beautiful sight it was to
see the women out in their sarongs
and what-nots preparing the family
meal. Now l ask you could a real
estate man do any better than
that?
I would suggest from the above
that you build up a full listing of
rentals, sales properties, etc, to
take care of the influx of people
looking for a place to live when
this war is over.
Thanking you again for your very
nice present and assuring you l
Sfan't soon forget your thought
fulneSS. I am,
Your friend,
