Editorials and Comment

if any of them are so important as the
Sea-laneS of the Atlantic upon which our
troops in the British Isles and in North
Africa are dependent for food, supplies,
gasoline. ammunition =. their very eXis-
tence.
When il became apparent months ago
that il was this vital iugular vein which
was Hitler's chief objective, via the sub
marine wolf pack technique, we had plen-
tv of justification to quake in our boots.
Make the Atlantic highways unpassable
and unsafe, and the whole American
continental attack could he deflatcd with
dire results to our troops and military
effort.
Not much has been pubicized abOu;
this vital sector. If developments have
gone against us. there is no benefit to
so informing Mr.. Hitler. Let him find
out in his own way, while we are perfect
inc defense And if we have already
perfected that defense, the same applies;
keep the enemy in ignorance and let
their subs come walking into traps to
sink them.
That the news is good is indicated by
the small number of ships reported sunk.
There may be many otherS-we don't
know. But if the sinkings are as low as
announcements indicate, we have much
to rejoice about.
And those responsible for this fine
Improvement deserve plenty of credit
and glory, when the facts can be made
public.

COURTHOUSE PARK:
A PLACE TO START

El Centre. in wisely planning ahead
for its community future, could do lar
worse than start all programs from the
dreary eXpanse of two square blocks
opposite the county courthouse. general
ly referred to as Courthouse Park.
This eyesore to the county seat could
be made our finest welcoming commit
tee, our most convincing salesman to tell
the millions of future tourists who Will
pass through our portals, that mere
indeed, is an oasis in the desert.
Brawley without question is the most
beautiful town so far as the tourist is
concerned. It's allure results from the
enticing quadrangle which strikes p peaS-
ing note in the heart of visitors. and sets
a standard of beauty for the whole COM
munity.
Courthouse Park-which incidentally
should be given a beautiful name to
start with-can be made the beauty
spot of the valley, with winding paths,
beautiful flower gardens. really attrac-
tive trees, plenty of greensward ana
shady, restful benches.
As it is today. it boasts two benches,
one broken and the other unpainted. It's
trees are straggly Some are dead. Its
lawns rise up and down like miniature
golf course gone to ruin, and ridges bulge
up here and there like trails left by
mammoth subsurface mole.
By and large Courthouse Park is
about the most disreputable and unin-
viting spot in town. A vacant lot can be
expected to be unattractive because we
expect nothing of a vacant lot. But
central park on the main thoroughfar.a
is expected to be both useful and beauti-
full, instead of reproduction of battle
scene from Guadalcanal.
Here's hoping that the chamber OF
commerce will consider placing this park!
