the eating house proprietors, of
course, cooperate we'll and keep
their places clean and sanitary.
Many use the war as an excuse to
let filth accumulate and will not
close day or two week in order
to clean up their places.
Fer all We know there are per-
sons suffering from active tubercu-
loSis handling and serving food in
this county. That is a tragedy. Food
handlers may spread tuberculosis,
trench mouth and dysentery."
AFFECTS ALL
She explained that the problem
of sanitary inspection is one that
affects every citizen of the county,
even those who do not eat in cafes.
hotels, restaurants. drug stores or
other eating establishments. Infect
ed persons handling food in other
places such as stores are a menace
to health, she declared.
1T is certainly net good advertis-
ing for Imperial county or any of its
towns to have the armed forces keep
patrols in front of eating establish
ments and forbid men in uniform to
enter" DR.. Hubbell said. IF the
places are too dirty and unsanitary
fer the men in the armed forces
they certainly are too dirty and un-
sanitary for civilian men, women
and children also"
PLACE CITED
She displayed letter she had re-
ceived from a railroad brotherhood
headquarters complaining about
cafe where trainmen had to get
their meals. The brotherhood Off
cial said that two of the members
of the group had become i'll from
eating food in this place. Since the
train schedule made it impossible
for them to get food anywhere else
between the hours they have to get
meals, they asked her to see that
the establishment was cleaned up
and made sanitary.
The job of sanitary inspector
never ends" she said, because peo-
pie are careless and many of them
don't care whether their places are
clean or not. 1t takes constant in
spection and supervision to do any
coed at all. 1t also means that the
inspector must teach some people
how TO be sanitary. Then we have
to do everything possible to keep
employers from hiring food handlers
who are suffering from Infectious
diseases. The only solution for I'm
perial county is a good, trained,
licensed inspector"

District SIotes
Alamo Siphon

One of these companies, known
as Water Company No. 2, covered
an area of several thousand acres
lying on both sides of the Alamo
river south CT Holtville. To provide
service for the lands lying to the
west of the river, the company con-
structed a siphon across the Alamo
river. It consisted of an inlet and
outlet section of corrugated metal
pipe, IS inches in diameter, the GEN.
trail section of the Siphon being
wood-stave pipe of the same diam
eter carried over the river on wood
truss bridge. Within a relatively
few years, the corrugated pipe ccr-
roded to such an extent that the
company encaSed it in concrete,
which was not of very good quail
ity. The wood-stave section has had
to be temporarily replaced by a cor-
rugated metal pipe, and the entire
installation is in very precarious
condition, having been due some
what to damage caused by the major
earthquake in 1910.
Due to the importance of the
siphon in supplying several thou
sand acres of land with irrigation
and domestic water, it is most de-
sirable that the entire installation
be replaced at an early date.
The estimated cost of the project
is $50. 900.

Poland must be reconstructed as a
great nation" since 'it is very i'm
portant that the new Poland be one
of the bulwarks of the structure up
on which we hope to build a perma-
nent peace"
Polish-American reaction to any
American Endorsement of the re-
alignment of Polish frontiers prob
ably would be instant and prolong-
ed.
The administrations commitment
to free Polish choice of government
was made public and official on
December in a statement in which
the state department. rebuked Great
Britain for its interference in the
formation of an Italian cabinet.
GUIDE TO POLICY
The departments statement said
that, since Italy is an area of COM
bined responsibility, we have re-
affirmed to both the British and
Italian governments that we expect
the Italians to work out their prob
lens of government along democrat
ic lines and without influence from
the outside"
But the kicker in the statement,
which has special significance in
the Polish dispute, was the next
sentence, reading as follows:

IMPERIAL HEADQUARTERS

AS of October Is, 1943, the district
took over the properties of the Cali
fcrnia Electric Power company in
Imperial county and Coachella VAL
ley, with a resultant increase in
district organization and activities.
Prior increase in district activities,
in both irrigation and power de-
velopments. had taxed the capacity
of its general administrative offices
at Imperial. Due to war conditions,
it has been impossible to provide
adequate space for the increased
activities. and very congested con-
dition has resulted. 1t is most neces-
sary that the administrative offices
at Imperial be enlarged by the addi-
ton of d new wing to the present
building. The type of construction
will be similar to that of the pres
ent building, which is wood frame
with stucco walls. Insulation is to
be provided, together with an air.
conditioning system comparable to
that for the resent building. The es-
timated cost of the new wing is
$4,000.
