What worries eastern shore

recollection Of the response they

the bean crop was ripe They
appealed to the Army, but found
that men in nearby camps we're

however, they found that the
farmer for whom they were
picking had a contract with the
government and that some Of
the beans they picked might
eventually find their way TO
Army mess kits. SO they staged
sit-down strike between the
rows until the farmer sent them
home.
The county agent then hunted
up grower who was selling in
the open market and appealed

the call. They worked five hours

SONG STYLIST

AL Siegel doesn't like to be call
singing teacher because he says
he doesn't teach people how to
sing.
Il just teach 'em how to sing diff
ferently," he says. Il rearrange the
music to suit their personalities. 1
teach them by not teaching them a
thing. I just sit and pound the
piano, give 'em dynamics and after
a while they see what I'm driving
at. I'm a song stylist vocal ar
ranger not teacher"
Siegel, a hep character himself,
has been pounding the piano and
teaching singers how to personal
ize their singing for a good many
years. Sophie Tucker was his first
pupil back in 1918. He personal
lied her singing to national fame.
Some years later, at party, he
met stenographer named Eethel
Zimmerman who thought she could
sing. She wasn't very good. He
arranged her music to suit her
personality and you know her to-
day as Ethel Norman.

State Controller
Closes Office in
,ImperiaI County

On Sept. the office of the state
controller in Ell CentrO will be
closed as the handling of tax deed
ed property in Imperial county has
been taken over by other agencies.
The office was established in
October of 1910.
At the last session of the Cali
fornia legislature passed legislation
making it possible for the various
taxing agencies such as counties,
irrigation districts, and municipali-
ties, to handle sale, lease, and
rental of tax delinquent property
within their borders. The state
formerly handled the renting of this
property taken over officially be-
cause of non payment of taxes.
PROPERTY AFFECTED
Thousands of parcels of city
property and thousands of acres OF
land were affected by the law.
In general, cities of Imperial
county will handle the tax delin-
quent property within their borders
while the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict will handle that in the rural
areas within its boundaries. Bard
Irrigation district probably will
handle the property within its
borders.
Richard Fender, who was
district manager for the state con-
troller in Imperial county for sew
eral years, was sent to Ell Centro to
close the office. He was scheduled
to return to his duties as district
manager for the controller IN Los
Angeles. Ventura, and Santa Bar
bara counties as soon as he COM
plcted the work.
