Solution to
Ciuaret Shortage

A serviceman's way OF handling
the cigaret shortage is outlined in
a letter received by Mr.. and Mrs. e.
Paul Ford of Ell Centro from their

engineering regiment in the Euro
pean war theater. His letter follows:
Dearest Mother and Dad:

stamps. Payday tomorrow will help.
Received another present from
YOU. certainly appreciate them.
You certainly made wise choices in
everything you sent.
We can't get cigarets any more, SO
I have decided to quit smoking,
which won't hurt me any. AT least
it is the simplest solution l could
find, and seems the most practical.
ID. The mail is very irregular and,
though i haven't had any for some
time, know l have some TO look
forward to. s.
g., I'll write more when i can have
more space, which will be soon.

HOW TO PROCEED
In order to get a chest X-ray
each person must get an appoint
ment blank from the county health
office in the court house basement
in Ell Centro CT at any elementary
or high school in the county. 1t is
necessary for the person planning to

~. The blanks must be signed and
sent to DR.. Miriam Hubbell, county
health officer, in the court house in
Ell Centro. Appointment blanks for
children must be signed by the par
ents.
1T is wise for adults who have
any suspicion of throat or lung trou-
BILE to have a chest X-ray and dag
nosis," DR.. Hubbell said Wednesday,
land the mobile unit provides a
convenient opportunity. Usually a
child is the victim, the adult being
the source of the infection. There
fore, it is vitally important to have
check on the adult so that steps may
be taken to control the Infection
FREE SERVICE
by bringing the mobile X-ray
unit to Imperial valley" said Keith
Nets, president of the county asso-
citation, "the association is provid-
ing the chest X-ray and diagnosis
free of charge to the individual, the
cost being met by funds raised
through the sale of Christmas Seals.
It is important that Christmas Seals
be bought freely so that the associa-
ton may provide additional means
of fighting tuberculosis in Imperial
county.
THE purchase of Christmas Seals
may give a child chance for a
normal. healthy life. No other
Christmas present could be so Won
derful."

NUBBlNS
BY
BURRIS JENKINS

Life Magazine, among number
of other very beautiful portraits,
carries in its current number a
reproduction of that elder states
man. often called The Park Bench
Statesman. MIR. Bernard Barueh.
Mr.. Raruch is IS and has lost most
of his avidity for the eXcitements
Of Wall Street and is interested now
almost exclusively in world affairs.
He's the park bench statesman
because he has no office in Wash
ington but spends most of his time
there and holds his meetings sitting
OH a park bench. There his appoint
ments are kept. He holds too no
position in the government; and the
only position he ever held was head
OF the War Industries Board in the
first World war. He attended unOf-
ficially the sessions of the peace
conference, drafted himself the big
sest part of the Industrial settle
ment in the last peace and wrote
a monumental book called, The
Economic Clauses of the Versailles
Treaty. You may read that book
and you may possibly understand
il; but this present reporter admits
without shame that though he read
every doggone word of it. he under
stood very few of those words. Mr..
Baruch is profound scholar and
few in this counirv can keep up
with him.

TORONTO'S EXAMPLE
(San Diego Union)

(San Diego Unlon)
Toronto has done it. Somebody had to,
sooner or later, to cut down the homicide
and insanity rate. The Canadian city
has passed an ordinance requiring ped
estrians to walk on the right side of the
street and to give hand signals before
turning.
If Toronto can enforce this act it will
become a model for most American cities
Including, particularly, San Diego.
Just why the vast maj jority of our citizens
insist on perambulating on the lett side
of the sidewalk, instead of on the right, Is
a matter for psychologists or psychla-
trists to settle The fact that they do,
however, makes life one continuous gam
BILE and evaporation for the pedestrian
who undertakes to follow the ancient and
honored custom of pedesting on the prop
er side. He must combine the strategy
of a football star and the persistence OF
a woman in bargain rush to work his
way through a city block of traffic. At
street intersections he is subjected to the
hazards of being swept under motor
traffic making right or left turns. trip
of four blocks against the surging left
hand current brings on physical, mental
and spiritual exhaustion.
Our city authorities could do nothing
more effective to promote peace, health
and happiness than to emulate the pro-
gressive city Of Toronto. But they might
have to employ an army to make such an
ordinance work.
Imperial Valley press., 1944-12-20

few in this couDirv can keep up
with him.
Due to the fact ti1at Baruch was
an undying friend of Woodrow Will
son and the League of Nations, this
writer received an invitation abOut
1920 to crop i'm at the offices of
Mr.. Baruch when next in New York.
Be assured the invitation was ac-
cepted. He went and took his wife
along. Our host apOlogized for the
fact that his family were away for
the summer. Just the same he called
a cab and took us up to his house,
that magnificent mansion, where we
had tea and looked over the place.
The thing that stands out strongest
in memory after ali these years
was Barney Baruch in photographs
know that he stanCs six feet three
in his stockings. He's a perfect fig
ure of a man even today, let alone
when he was a candidate for the
pugilistic championship of Harvard,
which he won. Then he said, Lets
take a little drive in the park. None
of our cars is here but if you don't
mind a cab, Wen have the driver
Put the top back" After we had
6riven an hour or so in Central
Park, short silence fell over our
host which we respected; then sud-
denly from his lips fell this aston
ishing utterance. They all hate us!
Everyone of them hates u.s." In
reply, the writer said undramatical-
l, enough, who hates who? What
do you mean, Mr.. Baruch?" Then
came the equally astounding words.
you all hate us-the Jews." II had
clean escaped our memory, even If
we ever knew it, that Mr.. Baruch
was 4 Jew and the protesting an
swer followed swiftly, "Oh, that
isn't so, Mr.. Baruch. l know it isn't
SO. The people that associate with
have no such hatred and prejudices.
Ii is simply untrue.' He shook his
head and looked at the floor of the
car and had nothing more to say.
More than that, he soon smOOthed
over all embarrassment.
Naturally, for a great many years,
whenever this writer went to New
York, ne went to call on Mr.. Barney
Baruch. Then suddenly one day the
grand old man whirled on the re-
porter and said, "They tell me you've
gone back to the friendship of Jim
Reed and are against the League
Of Nations"
That's not SO, Mr.. Baruch. Who
could have ever possibly told you
that? Nobody from our town could
get away for a minute with that
assertion. Absolutely false" +.
He looked uncOnvinced and prob
ably was; anyway the atmosphere
got so cool that never once since
that time has this traveller gone
back to Mr.. Baruch's office.
Not long since, after hearing Mr..
Baruch's published words during the
conference at Dumbarton Oaks and
all the discussion concerning the
forthcoming peace we ventured TO
write to Mr.. Baruch telling him
this little incident just narrated in
this column and here came back, a
little letter of just a single sentence.
Il have none but the pleasantest
memories of yOu.' That is one of the
most treasured letters that this
writer ever got.
