They have more sense than
horses. A horse will work till he
drops. A mule quits when he's tired.
A mule knows what he wants and
goes after it, He figures things out,
and knows his own mind. He has
a keen sense of humor, and is a
friendly creature, responding to
kindness"
In short, Mrs. Watson says, "a
mule is a rugged individualist'-
just like a lot of other good Ameri-
cans.

Thorton Wilder should write more
plays and Wyllis Cooper should
adapt them for radio. Last Wednes-

new program, Arthur Hopkins
Presents" an hour-long play be-

1t was, the simple story in fantasy
of New England village, it's life

will probably recall it as the Pulitzer
Prize play of 1888; perhaps you
will better remember it as the first
OF the series of stage presentations
produced without scenery. The ex-
PLANTATION of the action and setting
of Our Town" was done by Frank
Craven, who, as the stage manager,
played the role both on the air and
in the original production. He did
an excellent job. Mary Patton, as
Emily, did a polished job, too. The
entire production was well cast and
skillfully performed.
Occasionally the projection of an
artist accustomed to the theater
overrode hte delicacy of micro
phone, but the voices were excellent.
Three ccenes we're so deftly handled
and beautifully performed that
they will long remain as high spots
In radio drama. The first of these
was the scene in Morgans drug
store. in which George Gibbs and
Emily discover that they are in
love. The second was the wedding
scene, handled with just the proper
mixture of respect, humor and
sidel!ght. The third was the grave
yard scene, in which. the purpose

1t seemed that some details were
overlooked in the drive for perfec-
tion of timing and voices and lines
The orchestra was not we'll bal

times inept and some could have
been eliminated without loss. There

only in the first half of the produc-

Radio has never been so thorough
ly prepared for anything as It is
for the invasion of Europe by the
Allied armies. That will be the big
gest story of the history and the
broadcasters have taken every step
possible to cover it for you, the
listener. Here is a quick survey of
what you may expect. If the first
news breaks after the stations are
off the air, they will return as quickly
as possible and stay On the air from
then on. If the news breaks during
the regular broadcast day, all Wash
ington stations will continue on the
lair. There will be continuous broad
casting until the situation warrants
a letup.
When the first communique is
received and broadcast, all the
facilities of the great American
news services will be pressed into
use to present as complete a pic
ture as possible of what is happen
ing. In addition, the Network and
station organizations will supple
ment the reports of the rews serv-
ices with their own correspondents
and commentators. There will be
straight news reports, background
reports, interpretations Of the news.
Experts will discuss the use of all
arms of the service. The overseas
lstaffs of the networks will be most
active in relaying all the news they
can get their hands on. The Wash
Iington staffs are alerted now, and
will cover the invasion story from
the Nations Capitol.

w. G.. Outlook Thursday assumed
his duties as new secretary-man-
ager of the Ell Centro Chamber OF
Commerce.
Outlook has been interested in
public and civic affairs since he
arrived in FL Centro in 1897 and has
taken an active part in community
affairs of all kinds. He has served
en- many committees which have
had the responsibility of raising
war bond quotas and has worked
hard in helping Ell Centre go over
the top in drives of all kinds.
He was born in, Georgia and at
tended the University of North
Carolina, majoring in business ad-
ministraticn. Since finishing school
Outlook. has been employed as a
salesman by a power and light COM
pany in Savannah, Georgia; as a
clerk in a railroad agents office;
as manager at the flax mill in Ell
Centre: and as manager of the rice
mill in Imperial.
This is his first chamber of COM
merce position and he brings to it
a freshness and enthusiasm which
undoubtedly will be of great benefit
to the organization and to Ell Gen.
tro as well, directors, members and

objects:
Cd To bring the members of the

90 To make the organization per-
manent. and to bend it to the serv-
ice of peacetime as we'll as wartime

Mud Smeared streets and high

Valley residents anXiously waited
for the sun to penetrate the
clouds which hovered over the
area.
The current storm dropped a
total CT .87 of an inch of rain,
showers since Tuesday failing to
reach the big total residents
feared. Last year at this time
more than an inch of rain had
fallen.
Imperial Valley seemed to be
the only cloudy spot in southern
California Thursday as Los Ange-
les and San Diego reported clear
night Wednesday. Those two areas
also reported light frosts.
The storm thus far has caused
no damage to the irrigation or
power system in the valley, irriga-
ton district officials said after a
check-up Thursday.
Mud holidays were the order of
the day for schools throughout
Imperial Valley.
Meanwhile Weatherman Roy
Simpson did little more check

Council Scans
Youth Center
For East Side

Plans for the development of a
youth center for the eastside were
canvassed at the regular meeting
OF the Ell Centro City council We'd
neSday night.
In tangible form, the proposal is
to remove a building from Seeley.
where it is no longer in use. and
to locate it on city property on
the east side in Ell Centro.
Councilman w. A. Tondro, who
has been working on the project for
months. received hearty support
when he introduced his proposal.
Because of the complexity of the
proposal, the council meeting was
adjourned until next Wednesday
night, when the project will divide
the entire meeting with the pro-
poSal to revise the FL Centric busi-
ness license code for. the purpose
Of raising more revenue.
Buying the 40x8O-foot auditor
ium in Seeley, cutting it in three
sections, removing it to Ell Centre.
reconstructing it, reroofing, and
painting it, and furnishing lighting
and plumbing installations will be
expensive, Tondro conceded and
the council agreed
But also everyone was agreed that
something must be done about the
juveniles on the east side.
I'm one way or another, it is GO
ing to cost us money to oeal with
our Juvenile problem" Tondro said;

LONDON, Nov. 16. (UP)-
Berlin reported Thursday
that the Red army had
launched an all-out attack
east of Budapest and had
captured the rail town of
JaszarOksZallas, 80 m i ! e s
from the capital, after 4 viol-
ent battle.
THE object of the Russian as
saults Is to rush the German bolt
position at Hatvan, key rail juno
ton northwest of JaszarollsZallas,
but all Soviet break through at
tempts were thwarted," the Trans
ocean news agency reported.
Marshal Rodion Y. Malinovsky's
Second army of the Ukraine was
swinging the entire front east of
Budapest northward in a wheeling
movement threatening to envelop
the city from the north while other
units battered the city's southern
suburbs and pushed around it to
the west from a bridgehead across
the Danube.
JaszaroksZallas lies nine miles
north of Jaszbereny, the capture of
which Moscow announced Wednes-
cay night, and 13 miles southeast
OF Hatvan.s..--...--.- .-- -..-.--.--. ---....,,..
Nazi broadcasts said the Russians
took Jaszarokszallas by storm after
overcoming extremely heavy Ger
man resistance" A counter attack
supported by armor precipitated a
furious battle near the town and
the Germans drove back into the
northern part of it, Berlin reported.
